As for what would "Christianity"be if the RCC was gone?

HAPPIER and less child pornography in the world...
It's in other churches and everywhere else as well. Don't kid yourself. Satan does not discriminate when he wants to bring the human race down.

Why do people put the responsibility on something that doesn't exist, when they are the one's accountable?

Discouraged Catholics – Man Up!


"Finally, remember that evil always eventually collapses in on itself. This is because evil is a lie and a lie has no internal support structure. Evil is always something beautiful, good and true that is either distorted or being destroyed. It may seem substantial, but it is a fleeting shadow. It is an dissonant tune and an empty song. Evil and lies will always, always, always fall flat. It is a house build on shifting sand.

This is how Satan works: Because his lies have no real substance and have not inner energy or life he must keep promoting his lies and making them bigger and bigger. That is the only way he can keep them going–by exaggerating them more and more. His lies are like a corpse into which an insane undertaker keeps pumping formaldehyde and keeps caking more make up on the greenish decaying face. Eventually the lie is exposed. He overplays his hand. We see the evil for what it is, and when that happens the wicked ones roar with rage for the battle has begun."

We are at that stage now. So do not be afraid. He has overplayed his hand.
Let us get on with the task at hand!
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!"

"You are Petros", petros means stone. Upon this petras I will build my church. Petras means foundation stone, and it refers to the Spirit of Revelation, which revealed to Simon bar Jonas, that Yeshua was the anointed one, the son of God. Yeshua designated Peter as the holder of the keys, to fulfill Isaiah 22:15-25, in which Peter is a stand in for Shebna, who was to be steward of the royal household, and make a place for himself in the rock (Isaiah 22:16), and to "shame your master's house" (Isaiah 22:18), and who would be deposed (Isaiah 22:19).

Whereas the Roman church is a harlot daughter of Babylon, as noted by Luther and other Protestant leaders. The Protestant churches, are simply daughters of the Roman church.


You seem to be misleading in your presentation.

You are close. There are 13 stones as it were.


Jesus is the Cornerstone and the 12 apostles the 12 foundation stones on which the Congregation was built. Peter was not special. The Catholic church misuses the verses, as you note.
