To began, there was no chief apostle. They were all equal; if there was a chief among them it would most likely have been Paul, since he seem to have taken the lead after he came on the scene. Jesus spoke against the those who wanted to be over the rest; He also spoke against the teaching of traditions above the bible teaching Matt. 15:1-9; The Holy Ghost was not given just to the apostles he was poured out upon all flesh, Acts 2:15-21; Jesus spoke against the religuous hierarchy of His day, they were called pharisees, scribes, Matt. <br />23rd chapter; and also the sadducees, Matt. 16:1-6; Jesus say these people are not going into the Kingdom of God and shut it up for other who are seeking through their teaching. Jesus say call no man father (spiritually)upon the earth for we have one Father who is in Heaven, Matt.23:9; Mary is not to be worshipped she is a woman that found favor with God, Luke 2:27-35; Mmary married Joseph whom she was engaged to and they had other children (Matt. 13:55). So you see my friendif I was you I would do like the Bible tells usto do:2 Timothy 3:15, Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Jesus God has no mother he has always been, John 1:1-18 say Jesus was with God in the beginning. Mary worshipped Jesus when she receivedthe full understanding of who He is. There is no priesthood anymore Jesus is our High Priest (Heb.5:1-10); and we the believers make up the royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9-10); there is so much more I could tell you about what's wrong with the catholic teaching, but it is too muchto put in this reply. I will say this seek God with a open heart and mind He will reveal the truth to you , if you want the truth. Jesus say you will know the truth and the truth will make you free. If God could have given us salvation through aman He would not have sent His Son to die on the cross. Been there where you are right now, thank God that He revealed His truth to me. Salvationis in Jesus and Jesus alone! There is no other name given whereby we mustbe saved (Acts 4:12).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126049.post-55226387722031678902007-11-29T13:45:00.000+08:002007-11-29T13:45:00.000+08:00In case it was missed by the commenter, I also rep...In case it was missed by the commenter, I also replied to the claim that what I said in this post is "slandering", here: http://veniaminov.blogspot.com/2007/06/ecumania-alert.htmlCodgitator (Cadgertator)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00872093788960965392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126049.post-83867392072440276952007-11-29T13:43:00.000+08:002007-11-29T13:43:00.000+08:00I've left a longish comment in reply to the immedi...I've left a longish comment in reply to the immediately preceding "anonymous" comment here: http://veniaminov.blogspot.com/2007/11/comment-on-presbies-and-predestination.htmlCodgitator (Cadgertator)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00872093788960965392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126049.post-77882238889917317082007-11-29T11:51:00.000+08:002007-11-29T11:51:00.000+08:00The part about Catholics believing in Predestinati...The part about Catholics believing in Predestination is false. As a Catholic I understand what St. Thomas Aquainas was saying and it really isn't predesitination. We determine our own fate. For example all of us can choose sin or rightousness freely. But because we are human and we sin, we must rely on the grace of God to get to heaven. Nothing to do with predesintationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126049.post-58787428928683065292007-06-06T11:01:00.000+08:002007-06-06T11:01:00.000+08:00I would just like to say that although you advised...I would just like to say that although you advised "not to consider this is a debate about which religion is better" you did everything to make this one. The majority of what you said about the Catholic religion was mostly disrespectful and slandering. We are in a new age and Catholicicsm should be seen in a new light!

For the first question I am referring more specifically to your comment about the synods regarding the process of analyzing the Scripture. Are you saying that they deliberated over the scripture and did not come to a consensus, thus resulting in the many Presbyterian churches present today? That would mean that all Presbyterian sectors believe different things, would it not?<BR/><BR/>Second, you mentioned that Presbyterian churches are from a modern/renaissance era, however, you mentioned that they branched off of the Catholic religion, only abandoning the "rules and regulations" set forth by human beings AFTER Jesus ascended into Heaven. Wouldn't that make Presbyterians (Greek for elders) deeply rooted in the Catholic religion as well and only having disagreed with the changes that had been made by man kind and not Jesus Christ himself. Correct? They did not start a whole new religion or belief system after separating from the Catholic church, which you pointed out at the end of your commentary, so why do you say they are modern?<BR/><BR/>Lastly, are you saying that Catholics believed that Jesus was literally the bread and wine that the disciples ate? Did he spiritually enter the bread and wine? Or are you saying that Catholics and Presbyterians saw the breaking of the bread and drinking of the wine as symbolic and not literal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
