Peter's the Rock

[Father Thomas Martin]

Example:

Suppose you ran a company trying to make it, and then hired a Mr. Brown. Suppose you said to him: "They call you Brown, but I'm gonna call you Stone, and upon this Stone I will establish a successful company."

Who's the stone, you or Brown?

Let me know when you have an answer, so I may reply.

You know, the last time we had this debate, the Catholic ended up praising the Spanish Inquizition, coming to the defense of the Balkan genocide, calling us all dogs in the biggest font size he could find, and then quitting in frustration.

Not to discourage you, I'm just making sure you knew.

Re: Peter's the Rock

Well, in this example, Brown is.
In the Bible, strictly speaking, both are! (Deuteronomy 32:4)

Now answer me, WHY is Simon (ie Peter) a rock?
And when did God say that Peter's office of "God's rock on earth" should get passed on..
Especially by means of HUMANS VOTING on the matter?

I'd say that either you're stoned on the drugs or you're going to get stoned by Jesus when He gets His loving hands on you, filthy dress-wearing papist.

The stone is the successful company. I know this because I am a Doctor of Theology, not a Catholic pedophile. Don't bother replying. Jesus speaks to me, SATAN speaks to Poop Ratsinger ever since Hitler died.

Re: Peter's the Rock

Oh, and by the way, what would you know about successful companies, commie?

Don't you know your Pope has recently called for a ban on all automobiles, enforced by a totalitarian communist world government?

Benedict XVI, in his address prior to the Angelus warned against “the logic of profit” widely put into effect in a way which “increases the divide between rich and poor and causes a disastrous exploitation of the planet”. Speaking from the apostolic palace of Castel Gandolfo, the pope highlighted the current world emergencies regarding “famine” and “the ecology”, underlining that only by bringing to bear “ a logic of sharing and solidarity may the current course be changed towards equal and sustainable development”.

Maybe he's just jealous because the Popemobile doesn't look like this:

Re: Peter's the Rock

Ooh, do I get to play, too?

Suppose that you are trying to use a large, complicated machine that can give you untold benefit if used correctly but, if used incorrectly, can trap you in its mechanism and dismember you in a truly interesting way. It comes with a large instruction manual that gives detailed instructions for every aspect of its use and repeatedly warns you that you must follow those instructions exactly, or else.

Along comes a man who claims to be a successor in interest to one of the authors of the instruction manual. He has no evidence for that assertion except his own say-so, and none of the papers that came with the machine mention any such successor in interest. He says that he knows better than anyone else how to operate the machine and that you should trust him completely. He also says that the instruction manual is too complicated for anyone except him to understand and that he must interpret it correctly for you. He further says that large parts of the instruction manual are to be read allegorically and even says things that contradict some of the most strongly worded parts of the instruction manual. His behavior around the machine sometimes seems shockingly careless.

What do you do when you want to operate the machine?

He didn't even mention automobiles in that article! Read it...

1. I never defended the Balkan genocide.
2. I used regular-sized font when calling you out.

In Genesis, God says He's going to change Jacob's name to Israel.

Genesis 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

But, even though God said he wouldn't be Jacob anymore, he was still sometimes referred to as Jacob.

Genesis 35:22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

So, the stone may be Mr. Brown, but we can still refer to him as Mr. Brown, if we want.

Additionally, Mr. Brown is the stone. Not the company. I'm still the owner.

You have rocks in your head. Who is the mediator between GOD and man, you, the Pope, or the Son of God?

Wait,so that means you're in favor of the inquizition?

I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the other representative of the "infallable" Pope, username Catholic1.

I might repost some of it for you, if you promise to read it.

For defending the Balkan genocide? There's something wrong with you Popish freaks.
