If a teacher says that 1+1=2 but is later found out to have done evil things. it doesn't take away from the truth.
The Catholic Church is the FULLNESS of the Truth. Jesus Christ himself established it, and there have been 2000 years of popes in succession since Peter.
I grew up Protestant (Presbyterian). After finding my faith again I tried to find a church. So I was church shopping. Problem was the churches I encountered out here in Seattle were either woke or Evangelicals who were Zionists or had the whole rock concert as service thing going.
Then I sat back one day and thought. I never really knew WHY I was Presbyterian other than my parents liked the church and it had good kids programs.
What did Calvin believe? So for two years I spent time researching the denominations and why they believe what they do. I watched tons of Protestant and Catholic debates.
It was a Pints of Aquinas debate about the Eucharist that convinced me. And eventually I decided that Sola Scriptura isn’t biblical or historical, and is logically flawed.
Also the fact that a large part of the Protestant reformation had more to do with politics than religion.
Jesus did not establish the Catholic Church. He never established ANY church. His ministry was where ever he was at. it went with him, and stayed behind in the hearts of those who believed and had faith.
That is the Catholic interpretation, yes. Doesn't make it accurate or correct. Manmade religions have defiled Gods word for centuries, and killed, tortured, raped, and violated millions of people in God's name.
God COMMANDS "Then I heard another voice from heaven say,"Come out of HER, my people" Revelation 18:4. A RELATIONSHIP, not a religion. Jesus is the ROCK, and by HIS BLOOD, done at the CROSS, we are SAVED from eternal damnation
The question is, what is meant by "this rock?" "Peter" means "rock," but Peter was blessed with Faith, which is the key here. The Church of Jesus is built on faith.
If you examine the other two Abrahamic religions, Islam is built on submission and Judaism is built on the Law.
The truth..:like the one where you’re not good enough to talk to god yourself to repent for your sins so you have to talk to a guy in a box to do it for you? Where is that in the bible? The problem with religion is that everyone thinks that theirs is the way, but in reality, God wants us to have a personal relationship with him and one that includes more than once a week.
Guess that depends on how ya interpret a couple of passages from the Old Testament…and I could be wrong here, but I don’t think that confessing to an apostle for your sins is anywhere in the New Testament.

Welcome home my friend. God bless you always

Matthew 16:18 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
That is the Catholic interpretation, yes. Doesn't make it accurate or correct. Manmade religions have defiled Gods word for centuries, and killed, tortured, raped, and violated millions of people in God's name.
The Jesus I know would never support that.
God COMMANDS "Then I heard another voice from heaven say,"Come out of HER, my people" Revelation 18:4. A RELATIONSHIP, not a religion. Jesus is the ROCK, and by HIS BLOOD, done at the CROSS, we are SAVED from eternal damnation
Jesus never condemned Temples what are you talking about?

Even if you don’t like Catholics this is so heretical you are out Protestanting the super majority of Protestants lmao.
Why sola scriptura is wrong.
The truth..:like the one where you’re not good enough to talk to god yourself to repent for your sins so you have to talk to a guy in a box to do it for you? Where is that in the bible? The problem with religion is that everyone thinks that theirs is the way, but in reality, God wants us to have a personal relationship with him and one that includes more than once a week.
The sacrament of confession is biblical. Jesus gave the apostles the authority to forgive sins. And through apostolic succession it lives on.
Confession keeps you accountable. Protestants hide from accountability.
