It's blatantly obvious you are to NOT call anybody your spiritual father, other than Yahweh.

[ToHeavenGo]

Are you Tim Staples ?

@TenderTrap86, I couldn't help but notice you ignored the fact the 6th and 7th canons recognise the authority of the other Churches. The title of "Universal Bishop" was conferred on Boniface III by imperial decree in 606AD, by Emperor (and mass murderer) Phocas.

@Islandretreat - "I've just informed you that the primacy of Rome was unheard of in 325AD" -

Rubbish. One of the Apostolic Fathers, Clement of Rome, was a desciple of Peter. He was also the 4th pope. There are writings of his that go back to the very late 1st Century, where he exerts papal primacy over the bishops of the early Church.

- "What gives the Papal Ceasar ("Pope") the sole right to infallibly interpret Scripture?" -

He doesn't. You don't understand papal infallibilty.

"What gives the Papal Ceasar ("Pope") the sole right to infallibly interpret Scripture? I'm just as qualified as any papist."

I don't think so. Jesus said the HS would guide the apostles and the church which He built. You are not Christ's church all by yourself. Everyone interprets scripture differently. Protestants claim, just like you, that they alone are guided by the HS yet not one is united in a common belief. Scripture is quite clear about having one mind, one faith.

@Islandretreat "The church of God which sojourns at Rome to the church of God which sojourns at Corinth ... But if any disobey the words spoken by him through us, let them know that they will involve themselves in transgression and in no small danger." Clement of Rome, Pope, 1st Epistle to the Corinthians, 1,59:1 (c. A.D. 96).

@Islandretreat The 73 books were always part of the canon since the beginning of the regional councils(Carthage and Rome) and reinstated at Councils of Florence and Trent. I can give you many Church Fathers quotes using these books. Protestants arguing these books are not inspired is just plain nonsense, who in the world is anyone to say if they are? The Catholic Church is the final authority period.

@Islandretreat r u kidding me? do you even know what Jesus meant? St.Paul calls Abraham father. So you clearly don't understand scripture.

[Islandretreat]

Call no man father, in a spiritual sense.

@MysticalCity, "your not even qualified to debate this topic"

The word is "you're" and I've just informed you that the primacy of Rome was unheard of in 325AD. What gives the Papal Ceasar ("Pope") the sole right to infallibly interpret Scripture? I'm just as qualified as any papist.
