ArchivedWho was the Rock?I gave you a Scripture and the question in a prior post, and your answer was you would have to check with your priest for the answer. If you cannot remember the question and the Scripture how can you check with your priest? As to your Isaiah quote, which refers to Abraham the rock in Matthew 16:18 is Jesus, not Peter. The Bible makes this clear in the epistles of Peter. As to Peter exercising authority over the church you cannot show this Biblically. James had authority over Jerusalem and Paul makes it clear his authority did not come through any human being and tells those churches he founded that his authority is second only to God's. Not once does Paul tell any church to appeal to Rome or Peter. Only the Catholic Church interprets Scripture in an attempt to prove a false doctrine. Every interpretation found in Catholic doctrine is someone's own interpretation of Scripture, which is demonstrated by the Church councils where some bishops dissented and disagreed with other bishops based on personal interpretations. Again you have posted an uninformed and ignorant of what non-Catholics believe. I believe that hell is a real place, and all the Christians I know also believe hell is a real place. You can name some cults who do not believe hell is a real place but those cults are not Christian. God is a God of live and asks us to have faith in Him and His Son out of love, not fear of hell. Jesus said if you "love" me you will keep my commandments; He did not say you keep my commandments because you fear hell and eternal damnation. Purgatory, indulgences, and a multitude of the Catholic concepts are based on fear, not love. You have not shown Peter is the rock. |
