The Garg,
my answers will be in red :
Just because someone decided they didn’t believe the way the Catholic church taught, and left to start their own denomination doesn’t prove at all that the CC is a continuation of Apostolic teaching are you kidding me? anyone who is not FIRST, as in the one Christ started, is not “the True Church”, and there contradicts Christ ] and is the “true church”. Baptists could also say the same thing and just how on earth could they even try ? they were created out of an argument of someone else!!], where do you think the Pentecostals came from? not the catholic church. Does that mean Baptists are the true church… of course not, it only means that someone opposed thier teaching. You need to be more specific as to why they left the Catholic Church if you want to make a point.
what came after the first is irrelevent
You might need to re-read your history books.[no need to reread anything, as the previsious line states, if jesus ddint start your Chrurch, then your not the True Church, and last time i checked, John Smythe is not Christ] John Smythe--------------deleted the hstory of the baptist church since it was irrelevent and i needed room
--------England.

I really don’t have any desire for the things of this world; ie. relics, social status, etc… then thow your bible away, becuase without history, tradtion, and physical reminders of where we come from, you cannot prove it is true, it then becomes just another book from barnes and noble. what will you tell people, it just fell out of the sky?] I agree that to hold the skull of the Apostle Peter would be a tangible link to history, and a neat thing to do, it has no spiritual mystical power, and truthfully is nothing but a testimony to the corruptibility of Peter’s flesh, or a testament to early christian history, i know your afraid of that word history, but it is part of big picture, and without it you lose crediblity. ie mormons - claimed a war of two million that not one shred of evidence has been found for.] as well as our own. I have the Lord Jesus Christ living in me, [no you don’t, or else you woud follow all His ways, and accept the Fullness of Truth that He gave to us, your denial of the eucharist is proof that you are commited to YOUR agenda ] occupying and renewing my mind daily… how can the Pope, his altar, or the skulls of dead men compare with that?
Cause that Pope, on his alter, contianing the skulls of his predecessors can bring us to a place where Heaven and Earth unite, the Mass, and we can recieve the Bread of Life, aka Jesus, who then becomses part of our essence… at your church you can sing a song or two, songs with no meaning, and listen to some guy talk on only the parts of the bible he deems necassary…
By the way, the CC gave the world a corrupted version of the Bible in the 4th century[nice story, i know inventing things works on most of the sheep you herd, but not on me, i have studied the history and thire is no credible source to back this up ] tainted with Alexandrian Stoic philosophy. My bible is a translation of the Byzantine text which was around well before the Latin Vulgate (see post 79 for references)[this post is nothing but your personal interpretation and opionon, so is therefore irelevent].
your bible is missing books, and has a lot of stuff scribbled * out that martin luthar must have forgotten to scribble out. i would like you to try something, get a COMPLETE bible, a RSV-CE or a NAB , and read these books IN the order listed, and you will read the story of salvation history for the first time as if it were a regualar book] … from start to finish … *
