Prophecy of the new covenant and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (The new covenant church) Jn 15:1-5 (the church is the new Jerusalem the kingdom) gal 4:26 (one church) Jn 10:16

Dan 2: 44 And in the days of these kings (Roman Caesars) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Isaiah 2:2
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Micah 4:1
But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

Daniel 7:18
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

Rev 21: 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

Lk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Lk 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Matt 21:43 taken from Israel given to Peter and the apostles Matt 16:18-19 18:18 Jn 20:21 eph 2:20


1 Peter 4:11
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Jude 1:8
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

Jude 1:25
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Christ is king and has all authority and dominion!

Christ appointed Peter, the apostles, and their successors to govern the church and administer the kingdom until He returns in glory!

Submission and obedience to them is submission and obedience to Christ!

Like Joseph under pharaoh the king and his brothers bowed in obedience to Him as God willed!
 
It might forbid it but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t practice it.


That doesn’t mean they were right about it. It has absolutely no basis in Scripture and defies a common sense understanding of human nature, Jewish belief, and God’s command.

Yes, it can, and it certainly has as any honest look at church history shows. However, there have always been those within the church who have opposed those errors and taught truth, and tried to get the church back on the right track.

Luke 10:16, John 8:32, John 15:5, John 16:13, and John 20:21 don't support your assertion. Not a single one of them speak of the church.

Uhm no ,the Vatican and it's location is where?

Ah yes,if I prayed and bowed to anyone but Mary you all would call it idolatry.

Yet I can devote my life ,lips to Mary ,pray for her to forgive me and yet where is that the dead are to be prayed to as sin offends all who are saved if you want to go there .

Therefore I would have ask every single saint in heaven.

So only priests and bishops are two witnesses ?

To go tell the good news?

Verse please

And. Honestly I see the beast with it's whore from Jerusalem not rome but Rome has seven hills ,it did have the power to slay Jesus and has idolatry Jerusalem fits better because a few more descriptives m
 
So why aren't the Catholic pope pushing for a death penalty for all heretics ?

Where did it go with that as they used to?

I think you need to delineate this a little better. The apostles and their successors are not the church. They are the foundations, along with the NT prophets, with Jesus as the cornerstone. All believers together with the apostles and supposed successors are the church.

To get back on topic, the idea of Mary remaining a virgin has absolutely no basis in Scripture and defies a common sense understanding of human nature, Jewish belief, and God’s command. As such, there is no reason to believe that Jesus didn't have half-brothers and sisters through Mary and Joseph.

The pagan Roman Empire was located at Rome also!

Warning from scripture: cursed is the man that angers his mother!

Don’t say Mary is not my mother, that’s the same as saying You’re not a disciple or Christian! Jn 19:26-27

Christ is our salvation! Lk 2:30
Mary is the mother of our salvation!
Found our salvation! Lk 1:30
Consented to our salvation! Lk 1:38
Immaculate conception preserved from all sin by God! Gen 3:15 Lk 1:28 rev 12:1
God provided a means salvation to men thru Mary!
Mother of our savior / salvation!

We pray to God they the intercession of Mary and the saints by the one mediator Jesus Christ!

Why do you suppose bowing constitutes worship?
Worship requires intent, adoration, propitiatory reparation, thanksgiving, and petition!

Do you worship you’re bed in idolatry when you kneel and pray next to it? No cos you have intent to do so.

Only the apostles and their successors and those they ordain have any authority from Christ! Matt 16:18-19 Matt 28:19 Jn 8:32 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-23 acts 1:8 acts 1:15-26 eph 2:20

I very much consider the Roman Catholic church pagan

You seriously complain about a communism and have a pope who loves leftism .

My grandfather was Catholic why can't treat him the same?

The problem here is that slipperly slope.

For there is one mediator .now it's all the saints mediating as well no need for a preist and we'll Mary was.neithee and you just argued that only male bishops and priests have the authority to forgive sins and Paul says only they can be males!
 
What is often passed as climate policy is collectivism and not true efforts to mitigate environmental damage .

That's another thread .

The pillar and foundation of truth cannot be pagan? Truth is from God, you are saying God is pagan!
Many statements have implied meanings please be careful!
Another example: if you attack or reject the church (like the so-called reformers) you are in reality attacking or rejecting Christ who founded the church! Thanks

Did Joseph the administrator of the kingdom of pharaoh son of Jacob (Israel) have any brothers?

Only one mediator, Mary saints and all who are in the new covenant communion of saints including us can pray and intercede for those in need! But our prayers are directed to God thru Christ by the intercession of the saints in the communion of saints

Hope this helps

Apostles / bishops and the priests they ordain are a ministry in the church and yes only men can be an apostle / bishop or priest cos only a man can be a father! No inequality here all are one in Christ but God only establishes authority in men / fathers only different in roles and authority
I’m not offended to not be a mother, only a woman can be a mother as God has so ordained!
Thanks

You mean that Mary simply can't forgive you if your sins?

Funny as that is in a prayer book I kept as a gift from a Muslim .it says that and it is a Catholic book


You really don't see that ?

Mary is to be honored but Jesus made her not the other way around .
Idolatry is placing anything in front of Jesus and those prayers are doing that


I thank God for using and giving my parents ,but I dont ask mom or dad ,deceased to forgive me of sins against God that dont involve them.

It's not.the pope of the current Vatican supports collective policies on climate change .

Simply look at how Europa limits car charging for electric vehicles and created that problem .
