First Clement, the Didache, the epistles of Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, these are all first and second century. If you're concerned about corruption and accretion later on then look at all these primary sources, it's all public domain.

Right? I mean you don't think you're saved if you first believe the Gospel and then stop believing it, right? It only counts if you believe it, right? You don't think someone only needs to believe it once, just for an instant, and then go back to not believing it, and it's all OK because...

Great pistol. Tough to beat with a full capacity supply of mags, the 1911 8-rounders are going to lose in an all out fire fight due to reloading more frequently, but really why are we having a fire fight with pistols anyway? We need our standard issue service rifles for a proper fire fight.

Glock leg. All I was saying is, there's no such thing as "1911 leg" and there's a reason why. But again if we're in theater, then risking Glock leg is probably worth it, but maybe it's not when we're at peace rn. But again again, I'm not going to think anybody's wrong to wear a Glock or even...

No, not the way you mean it. I think you can "sin your way out of salvation" if you drop the faith, for sure, but it's not because you "sin your way out of salvation", it's because you dropped the faith. Absolutely it's impossible for a bona fide authentic Christian to sin their way out of...

Sure. The Old Law. Moses's law. The one with circumcision made by hands. We are under the law of Christ. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

They excluded it from their canon after the Church had authenticated it as ours. Their excuse was the same one Luther used, because they were all originally written in Greek instead of Hebrew. But the real reason is jealously. If the Church didn't exist then those books would still be Jewish...

Right, "through the grace", the dispensation of grace, the New Covenant, John 1 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of...

That has been fulfilled since Christ gave His throne to Peter and the Apostles for safe keeping. That is a fulfilled prophecy, being fulfilled every day, it's not only something that is already done, it's also always being done. Unlike the earlier days of the throne of David, which disappeared...

At each Mass we say together, "For our sake He was crucified." Later on the celebrant holds the Eucharist and says, "Behold the Lamb of God, behold He Who takes away the sins of the World."

Peter was in Scripture. He held the office. The office is the keys to the kingdom and the power to bind and loose. Fortunately the whole Church is for everybody.

I think there is an ontological real distinction between our body /flesh and the rest of us, whatever we want to call it, I call it the soul. Like you say, our body limits our soul, if anything. Although our body only does what our soul authorizes it to do. Don't approve of anything you don't...

Jesus put it like this: Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you...

Hold on. So because there's a bad pope, therefore the office of pope is outside of Scripture? How does that work? And I suppose if there's a bad bishop, therefore the office of a bishop 1st Timothy 3:1 doesn't exist either? This is undermining the ministerial hierarchy that Christ and His...

Why would the church in Corinth celebrate the Passover? They partook of the Lord's table: Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which...

That's what I've been saying.

Even bad popes don't nullify the Chair of Peter, the throne of David. And bishops have the power to depose a bad pope as well, and they have. The office remains forever.

I see none of that: When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. 3 And being brought on their way by the church...

For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

I want you to experience the fullness of our faith.
