Paul tells you to follow him twice.
1 Corinthians 4:15-16 KJV, 1 Corinthians 11:1 KJV
Yes, his churches. And I see that you don't as you aren't in the Greek Orthodox Church.

What you are describing is definitely a cult! I thank God that you were forced out!They dangle some truth in front of you.
You get lured in, wanting more.
So they feed you more.
They teach how all other churches are in error.
And in turn, you support them.
Next thing you know you believe you are the only right group.
And your leader is the only inspired one.
And your hierarchy is to be obeyed.
And it's a whole culture a few days a week of doing church things together.
And group camps.
Where every scripture in the Bible is explained their way.
And one is encouraged to forsake friends and family.
And this world's education is evil too.
And one cannot read other church literature.
And fiction is bad.
And everything in the world has pagan origins which you now wisely have escaped.
Soon your whole world is the church.
So are all your resources the church's.
It sounds so dumb now writing this.
I would still be stuck in the cult if God had not through circumstances forced me out. I did not question them. It all sounded so logical at the time.
She doesn't believe Peter went to Rome. Neither do I.
Ah, I see. So you clutch on to some belief such as Peter never went to Rome, with no evidence to support you. Well, nothing new there.
Why would he have gone there?
Why would he have gone there?
Pizza!
Why on earth would he not?
Matthew 10:23 (KJV)
The LORD precluded it.
Good enough reason for me.
with Christwhere do you think paul is buried?
WHAT exactly is your interpretation of Mt 10:23, and it's relation to Rome?
So, per typical Protestantism, you ignore other parts of the Bible, such as specific instructions to go out and preach to all nations?
No, Christ's body, which is the churchYes, his churches.
Galatians 3:28 KJV, Ephesians 4:4-6 KJVAnd I see that you don't as you aren't in the Greek Orthodox Church.
:chew:I hear sausage pizza was his favorite, after Acts 10.
You have no idea that your quotes prove hierarchy.
You show leaders of the Church making the rules. Are they just letting the new converts make up their own rules? NO, absolutely not.
The Apostles were bishops and leaders of the Church, the HIERARCHY.
I must add, that we go by the words of St. Vincent of Lerins (435), "that which has been believed everywhere, always, and by all" as truth. This protects the church from heretical bishops. But otherwise
they are the spiritual leaders.
You don't even know what confirmation is.
And James was Joseph's son, from an earlier marriage, not Mary's.
where do you think paul is buried?
with Christ
Romans 6:3-4 KJV, Galatians 2:20 KJV, Colossians 2:11-13 KJV
Are you?
do you have any idea where paul is actually buried?
do you have any idea where paul is actually buried?
No, should I be concerned with that? 2 Corinthians 5:16 KJV
Peter didn't. chrys wants Paul to have followed Peter because he rejects the pattern of the Lord's all longsuffering 1 Timothy 1:16 KJV.I think he is under the impression you believe Paul never went to Rome.
