Negative, look up pictures of him now
This isn't actually Buzz, Buzz was played by Devin Ratray.
I'm currently reading a book called The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel and it's very good so yes I do understand (up to page 99). I also have commentary's of scripture from the 1830's which give detail explanations of the Codex Montefortii and Codex Vaticanus, and Codex Sinaiticus. But I don't really think me saying anything to you is of benefit to you or me is it?
You believe the Pope. I believe God.
Mark 16:16

So the Catholic "Bible" doesn't have the book of Acts? Acts was written by Luke not Paul. And the gospel of Thomas is easily proven as heresy.
And if it is the bible that is a "gift" why do you disparage it when I quote scripture?
Catholicism's problem is that you have to defend men when anyone asks a question, I only have to defend God Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He doesn't have one flaw.
That the bible is the word of God? I didn't know the Catholics were at war with the scriptures I knew they didn't follow it very close but this is new. I'll have to research this topic more.
What is your "bible"? Is it like the Mormons with Doctrines and Covenants, The pearl of great price, and the book of Mormon?
You see all discussions are moot from here on out if you don't recognize the bible as the word of God. Because there is no basis for truth. We have to start with establishing God is all powerful and He is able to preserve His word. If you don't believe that you have free reign to make up whatever you want and say, "this here is truth." Kind of like the DEI society we live in today. "Gender is a social construct."
Nah, I'm gonna get an answer out of you yet son. You go first.
If you truly seek this knowledge it may be found in many many books. One book which does a pretty good job of it is Lee Strobel's Case of Christ. Not sure of his allegiances but the book is pretty well put together.
So the bible is out for you then? If the bible is no good how can you quote Matthew as saying Peter was the first Pope?
Haha there's those two words you want the bible to say or else you won't believe it...??
There's that Pope word again. The made up office held by men who want to usurp God.
What did his kids do that was"patriotic"? Did they just smile and wave? I couldn't really make it out.
Why are you deleting your posts? You're still trying to say that verses in the bible don't match your magic two words you want to see and this somehow proves God wants you to look elsewhere even though there is mountains of evidence against using anything but the bible. Your argument is elementary and the way you're acting has devolved into that of a liberal.
Tell someone else from the Catholic church you attend who is good at discussion to create an account here and speak with me because I still have questions of which you never answered one. I have answered all of yours (of course you don't like the answers because it goes against what you believe) and you continue to make light of God's word.
I will take this as a concession. In the future give the bible more time and study for it and only it will be the book you will be judged by.
You didn't read. I said I'll accept word or thought in other words ANY EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER FOUND IN THE BIBLE.
And "scripture" and "alone" even if they were to appear together is evidence for nothing and weaker than the actual verses I quoted. For instance revelation 22:18-19. You think scripture and alone is more convincing and more powerful than God saying if you add to you will be added to the book of plagues and if you take away your name will be taken from the book of life?
Stop with the name calling and have a discussion, this isn't the view.
All of those verses were proving scripture is the only thing you should use. Do you understand word for word and thought for thought? You are saying because scripture doesn't meet your demands for two specific words you are going to neglect it? Do you understand your eternal soul is on the line and this isn't some game?
Now since we're doing this I will accept thought or word for "Pope, Cardinal, Indulgences, and Infant Baptism."
As you wish. Deuteronomy 4:2; 12:32 Proverbs 30:5-6, Galations 1:8-9 and Revelation 22:18-19. I have already shared II Timothy 3:16 and then there is II Peter 1:16; 20-21.
I Timothy 4:1-3
Do you think Paul's warning is void? Which religious group forbids to marry and eats fish on Friday?
Again, just because someone strayed from the faith a long time ago does not give them credence over the truth of the gospel today. I ask you again, which no one professing Catholicism has been able to do yet in discussion with me....utilizing scripture alone show me the Pope, the cardinals, the indulgences, the infant baptisms, and Peter having authority over the other apostles in his time.
My whole mother's side is Catholic by the way so I know the response my great aunt gives when any reference to scripture is mentioned. "I'm not going to read the bible if I need to know anything from it the priest will tell me." This is why I have never known anyone professing Catholicism who could actually have a scriptural discussion with me. They don't know the scriptures and are told they can't understand them. The bible is written at a 6th grade reading level. Prove me wrong and show me scripture.
Jesus has the greatest authority. After Him we're all equals and that's my point. Paul told Timothy to study to show thyself approved. The Bereans are praised for searching the scriptures daily in order to find out if those among them are false prophets. God has kept His word true and pure and it is profitable for...II Tim 3:16
Nowhere in the Bible does it show Peter as Pope. So let's pretend that I only have a bible in my house and I read it and fully understand it. Do I blame God of it doesn't match the teachings of the Catholic Church or do I need to purchase more than the Bible because I'm lost with just the word of God?
And I have already told you what the text means. It was his confession not Peter himself. There would be leagues more evidence in the bible if Peter was to be elevated to a position above the apostles and hold a special office not spoken about in scripture. At least 1 verse speaking of the qualifications to become a Pope or cardinal. As for priests, Jesus is our High priest and all the baptized believers are a "Royal Priesthood" according to Peter.
Speaking of the office of Pope and his infallible nature, does it not seem strange to you that Galileo was put under house arrest by the Pope for declaring we live in a heliocentric solar system? Wouldn't someone like the Pope know that very simplistic fact about creation? Peter was smarter than this.
But you didn't quote scripture. You quoted Cyprian.
was Peter’s successor in the episcopate of the church there
Being an Overseer/Bishop/Elder/Shepherd or Deacon is an office of the church (There is no office for Cardinal, Priest, or Pope.) I Timothy 3:1-13 Titus 1:5-16 Acts 20:28
I'm take no issue with any of the scriptures. But men will twist them to meet their needs. Peter says this in 2 Peter 3:16
Again, the text is what matters not what a man said. Look at the preserved word of God. And seriously consider this thought. On Judgement day we will all be judged individually. You must read and understand for yourself.
5000 years from now what Joe Biden said about Trump still won't be true.
People like you are what this world needs more of. God bless you and your family brother.
There are many proofs, over 5000, of the scriptures that have been preserved. If you can show me where any of the verses I quoted have been reconstructed I will gladly accept the correction. But to think a man writing a long time ago is correct just because it's dated is dangerous.
John warns of the many antichrists that came from our own. The entire epistle of II Peter is about false doctrines and false teachers leading people astray, perverting the word of God.
Look at the Greek text concerning Matthew and you will see.
I meant through inspired writings.
As for Peter's confession in Matthew 16
Peter, πετρος, signifies a stone, or a fragment of a rock; and our Lord, whose constant custom it was to rise to heavenly things through the medium of earthly, takes occasion from the name, the metaphorical meaning of which was strength and stability, to point out the solidity of the confession, and the stability of that cause which should be founded on the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
In other words:
Upon this very rock, επι ταυτη τη πετρα - this true confession of yours- I am the Messiah.
Scripture often referrs to Jesus as a Stone, or a rock. Psalm 118:22 Isaiah 28:16
Eph 2:20 Peter is one of the pieces of the foundation but Jesus is the cornerstone.
I Peter 2:4-5
Jesus did not say, on thee, Peter will I build my church, but changes immediately the expression and says, upon that very rock, επι ταυτη τη πετρα, to show that He neither addressed Peter, nor any other apostles.
God bless you brother, I know a preacher from Rhodesia and who fought for her during the war. I pray for the day S.A. is freed from all this tyranny.
I hope Italy is treating you and the misses well, are there a lot of patriots there?
