    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    Protestants depend on the traditions passed down to them to determine which books to include in or exclude from their Bible. They use logic and human reasoning to formulate their doctrines. It is mistaken to believe that Protestants base their beliefs solely on the Bible; in reality, they also...

    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    Exploring the apologetics of ancient Arians and modern Jehovah's Witnesses may surprise you with their "biblical" nature, demonstrating how selectively interpreting Bible passages (primarily in English) can result in Arian theology. Although the Creeds did not originate the doctrine of the...

    The Ephesian disciples that saint Paul found. They should have debated their issues within the church to test the resilience of their claims. However, instead of engaging in debate, they chose to leave the church and establish their own. Truth transcends opinion, both today and in the...

    Come on, be objective, honest, and admit that Matthew 16:18 is about saint Peter.

    Your post inaccurately represented Catholic Church doctrine, which is grounded in biblical teachings. It portrayed a falsehood as a Catholic belief, akin to how Satan presented a lie to Eve as though it were God's words. The rebuttal of Satan's deception lies in the truth of God's words, and...

    Come on, be objective, honest, and admit that Matthew 16:18 is about saint Peter.

    You are mistaken if you believe that Catholics are taught to believe that saint Peter is anything but a man and a sinner at that. Catholics are well aware that every priest and every bishop including the pope is a man and a sinner and consequently every one of them confesses his sins both to...

    There are many, many who are separated brethren (inclusive of women and children). They are called by God and because of family and history are in a Protestant denomination. Our prayer for them is that God, in his infinite mercy, will bring them home to his one holy catholic and apostolic church...

    If you stopped at "Protestants are not united" I'd agree. But you didn't.

    But the Church doesn't derive its authority from scripture. The apostle Paul wrote, "you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth."

    Both the most blessed Doctrine of the Holy Trinity and the doctrine of the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ were defined by Catholic church councils long before any Protestant denomination existed. Also, long before any protestant distinctive doctrine existed. No sola fide, no sola scriptura...

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    That, sir, is incorrect. Consider closely the words spoken by the Lord. He addresses Saint Peter, saying, "You are Peter, and upon this rock, I will build my church..." The use of "you" is singular, indicating he is speaking directly to Saint Peter, not to all the apostles, but solely to Saint...

    I get the information about saint Peter being the leader of the band of apostles from both scripture and from the early church fathers, that is, from sacred tradition. What better source could I go to? Surely not to my own personal interpretations of scripture, down that path is nothing but...

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    "Peter" means rock, and "Cephas" (Aramaic for rock) was the name Jesus bestowed upon Saint Peter, making him symbolically steadfast. Jesus was not mistaken. Despite Saint Peter's numerous and evident shortcomings, he emerged as a leader, acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, and was tasked by Jesus...

    Here's the passage, and a comment from a commentary. Matthew 16:13-20 Revised Version of 1885 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? (14) And they said, Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah: and...

    You've confused being Bishop of Jerusalem with being leader of the church. James was bishop in Jerusalem, so he hosted the first ecumenical council in Jerusalem. As host he opened the council, closed it, and had the privilege of asking for the decisions to be recorded. But Saint Peter spoke and...
