No, that's an old tired argument, sorry. Jesus was very specific when He addressed Peter. I posted all of that last bread.
>>5357757 I asked the question about the Church in the LB because I have been here for a long time and this is the ONE thing that holds me back. I love Q but I will never give up my faith for anything or anyone and some of the stuff I read here is scary that way…
>>5357805 Hmmm.
Jesus was Jewish, yep. He fulfilled all laws and promises of the OT and built His new Church upon Peter. Catholicism means and is Universal- for ALL who would seek Truth. Jesus is Truth. Christians- Christ followers. He's pretty clear about this and it's all there for anyone who seeks, asks, knocks.
I am a believer in Q and President Trump- but my faith in God and His Church come first for me. I thought much of the crazy stuff was shills but tonight I decided to ask… I guess we'll see.
Yes. October 13, 1884, Satan asked for 100 years to destroy the Church and he was given it. When the Pope Leo heard this conversation between satan and God, he came up with the St. Michael prayer. "According to Pope Leo XIII the Lord reminded him that his Church was imperishable. Satan then replied, "Grant me one century and more power of those who will serve me, and I will destroy it.
The smoke of Satan entered the Church and we now see the results of this. There is so much more and most people know nothing of this battle. Read the Saints…it is amazing what has happened and what is coming.
Yep…your number 911..haha! But we march on, pick up our cross and follow Him still! Amen.
>>5357910 Christ is Himself the Church- He is the Head, the Vine- we are members of His Body…my Faith is in God the Father, His Son Jesus and The Holy Spirit. The Trinity! My Faith is Universal. The Church is for the salvation of ALL men. Get it?
I think you should study and do more searching because you cannot separate Jesus from His Church, He made this very clear when He said "My Church." I follow Him.
Anyway, I have not seen/read Q say anything anti-Catholic, only the anons here and only some of them. There has been many lies told and many crimes covered up in the Church, as we all know and this must be dealt with. God has already allowed it to be exposed…purification follows.
Thanks for the link, I watched this when it was first aired…i'll watch it again!
You asked- here's a bunch to start with…but I did post some of this last bread, "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18). (This alone should do it…but)
"Some have tried to argue that Jesus did not mean that his Church would be built on Peter but on something else.
Some argue that in this passage there is a minor difference between the Greek term for Peter (Petros) and the term for rock (petra), yet they ignore the obvious explanation: petra, a feminine noun, has simply been modifed to have a masculine ending, since one would not refer to a man (Peter) as feminine. The change in the gender is purely for stylistic reasons.
These critics also neglect the fact that Jesus spoke Aramaic, and, as John 1:42 tells us, in everyday life he actually referred to Peter as Kepha or Cephas (depending on how it is transliterated). It is that term which is then translated into Greek as petros. Thus, what Jesus actually said to Peter in Aramaic was: "You are Kepha and on this very kepha I will build my Church."
The Church Fathers, those Christians closest to the apostles in time, culture, and theological background, clearly understood that Jesus promised to build the Church on Peter, as the following passages show. There's much more over 2000 years worth. https://www.catholic.com/tract/origins-of-peter-as-pope
By the end of the 12-year reign of Adolf Hitler in 1945, tens of millions of Catholics had died as soldiers, in forced labor, as civilian casualties in the fighting, or as victims in the gas chambers. Catholic churches, cathedrals, monasteries, convents, schools, universities, and monuments lay in ruins. The task then fell to the surviving Catholics in Europe to rebuild those institutions and to begin the equally difficult task of repairing the spiritual damage done by the 12-year Reich.
