Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

Why do people stray from it if it were the original Christian doctrine? How does one know one's Christian walk is true with thousands of Christian sects each purporting to be the truth and damning other sects to hell? Why do we put so much faith in our own opinions and call it God's opinion? Doesn't Christianity claim value to humility? How does thinking our opinion is God's opinion classify as such?

Your theology historically is heretical as a law of the fathers (oral traditions of men) . They are the same ones that call all of the other private interpretation as personal commentaries of men who rightly divide (sola scriptura ) a heresy making their heresy (opinion) as if it was the Devine Master. .
The non private interpretation of men Gods interpretation the bible must be put on the back burner. It has no authroity to those who seek after a law of men .

The Bible informs us there must be heresies (sects) amongst Christians who do walk by faith . . the unseen eternal.

But sola scriptura informs us those heresies that are damnable or judgable .They are those who deny Christ who gives new spiritual life as a free gift of His grace and mercy to those born again .


That is were the Queen of heaven . . . . the usurping authority of the fathers comes in. The Catholics fathers teach that this Queen entity they have named Mary alone received the "fullness of Christ grace" .All other humans a unknown remnant of grace and they must offer their own sufferings (anything) over and over and continue even after talking their last breath for another unknow remnant of time or severity of sufferings. The lying wonder mystic doctrine . . never to coming to the end of faith. No living hope. . a dead hope in their own corrupted flesh and blood hoping it could profit for something. ?????.

We must be careful who and how we hear what the Spirit says to the churches .Not what the churches sects says to the church, as doctrines of men

1 Corinthians 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

I don't understand your question.

who do you mean by the author? I don't speak greek, so If I want to know greek word, I read from other that know greek. And the author only Translate as is
There are thosand people that know greek and english so to Lie is impossible.

Example there are millions people know Washington DC is in The USA, I am not going Lie and say Washington DC is in england or Taiwan. Too easy to prove I an liar

That what happen to the Greek word of antichrist. This person Translate what It is not Lie

Let me repeat what I say,

Base of literal translation from greek, I believe popes are antichrist.

We are all blessed who trust in the name of the Lord. We are all Chosen members of a very special priesthood. All glory, honour, and praise be to God and Him alone.

Yes generation Will call her blessed, It doesn't say generation Will say her queen of heaven.

God cannot become a man. He has no beginning or end of Spirit life as eternal Spirit.

Changing the meaning of "sent one" not "venerable one". Like I sent my son to the grocery store with a written list is obvious.

I'm the author of the text. You are trying to change it into something I didn't mean.
If the author tells you what a certain word is used to mean that's what it means whether or not you agree.

"Athanasius377, post: 4385578, member: 300588"]First, the tradition of the Elders as described in Mark 7 is later codified into the Mishnah and cam be found along with a commentary in the Talmud. That is not the same hazy oral traditions of men. Christians of course reject the Talmud as authoritative.

Second, Sola Scriptura is the doctrine by which Scripture alone is the only infallible source of doctrine, faith and practice. Or as article VI of the 39 articles states:
Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation: so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an article of the faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation.

Lets plug this back into its context and see what is going on here. (ESV)

17 But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18 For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, 19 for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. 20 When you come together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat. 21 For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

That is not saying what you claim is is saying. In fact Paul is condemning the behavior of the christians at Corinth for abusing the Lord's Supper. He's not saying to have different sects at all. In fact by doing so he would be violating the Lord's command for all to be one . Though I can see why you skipped this verse because it too teaches the deity of Christ.

Jn 17:11 (ESV)

11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

2 Pe 2:1–3 (ESV)
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

Again, a passage the condemns false teaching. Its worthy to note that their destruction is an active one, as in progress.

You do realize the Bible is vastly interpreted. How do you not interpret the Bible for yourself? Do you stone witches as the Bible tells you to? Do you really think that's a good idea? After all, there's no such thing as interpretation and only the Bible. This is why the Pope exists to make the interpretation for a modern world. No matter how you try to cut, people interpret the Bible, they don't actually practice things like that.

You noted that the Pope interprets scripture so when Francis makes a comment about homosexuality he says “ who am I to judge” ? No answer no guidance only moral relativism .

Php 2:5–11 (ESV)
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Col 1:15–23 (ESV)
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Tt 2:11–14 (ESV)
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.


Jesus is only referred to as apostle one time in the entire NT, and that's in Hebrews 3:1. Yet back up a few chapters and we read:
Heb 1:1-4 (ESV)
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

Its almost like you are reading scripture upside-down and backwards if you miss all the references to Jesus being God.

Did pope believe homosexual as a sin or not?

That’s the problem? As the supposed infallible head of the Catholic Church his answer left folks scratching their heads . Francis’s non answer answer only caused confusion . No interpretation just a touchy-feely response to make someone feel good .

.
How many time does he have to called an apostle in order to make him one?

Image are as likeness, the ability to love by the power of the gospel Not mirror image making the apostles a legion of gods in the likeness of man . Blasphemy, turning the inspiration of God upside down as if it was inspired earthly of the god of this world. Therefore taking away the understanding of faith

Acts 14: 7-12 And there they preached the gospel. And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.

You could say in the likeness what some call patron saints .(3500 and rising)

What does the Popes opinion got to do with what the Catholic Church teaches?

What does the Popes opinion got to do with what the Catholic Church teaches?

Ok the Roman Catholic Church has given the Pope the title Of Vicar of Christ.
Catholics state that it means that the Pope is the head of the entire Christian Church here on earth . That Christ Jesus Himself gives the Pope His authority and power to govern the Church . So yea the popes opinion has some weight.

Still, unless he teaches ex cathedra it doesn't carry that kind of weight.

Pope is the leader of Catholic Church isn't he?
His teaching represent catholic teaching

Pope is infallible in dogma and moral.
