Yes as a Jew Jesus rested on the sabbath and read scriptures. But he worshipped God everyday!!

@@henrybayard6574 Yes, and we all should worship God daily. But we should keep holy the Sabbath on the Seventh Day. If you are rich, and can afford to keep holy every day of the week, that would be even better. But God allowed us six days to make a living by working, and he just wants one day out of seven for us to acknowledge him as the great God that he is, the creator of everything, so that we never forget him. He placed a blessing on that particular day, therefore no other day will God accept!

@@Vincent-gc3cu my friend show me where in scripture it says we should WORSHIP on the sabbath?? Not rest but worship. Chapter and verse please.

@@henrybayard6574 Worship just means "Showing Love for your deity (God). Look this up yourself. And we should Love (Worship) God every day, including the Sabbath.

If you would like to give an example...just one...we can discuss it.

How does one discuss any thing with an idiot

I’m no theologian so I’m not coming at this from that standpoint, but I’d love to hear where you think I “read into” the text or took something out of it’s proper biblical and historical context. Thanks for watching!

@@TheCatholicIdiot For now, I will just address Matthew 16:18: The translators from Aramaic to Greek would have had a conversation with the apostles for clarification. This is why the Greek clears it up for us, that some want to ignore. Also, even if we do not go by this, in John 1:40-42, Jesus did not mention there, upon this rock, He will build His church. This suggests the church is not built on Peter (flesh and blood), but on Christ (Spirit, "Father, into your hands I commit My Spirit"), whom the Father revealed to Peter in Matthew 16:17. It is the Spirit of Christ that overcame hades (2nd half of Matthew 16:18), Revelation 1:18. Peter never overcame Hades. Both Peter and Paul stated Jesus was the chief cornerstone for a reason, the cornerstone is what a building is built off of. The church is built on the Spirit, not flesh and blood. Jesus said flesh and blood profits nothing, it is the spirit that quickens. Peter did not overcome hades, nor is anyone born of Peters spirit. Peter was simply born of God at the time of their conversation in Matthew 16, 1 John 5:1. So were the rest of the apostles, except Judas of course (Matthew 18:18). I don't mean this with any disrespect, but this interpretation of Matthew 16:18 is simply a shallow interpretation, that is only skin deep.

@@soteriology400 In Mt 16:18, Jesus clearly labels Himself as the Builder. But what about the very next verse? In Mt 16:19, Jesus made Peter the leader of the Church on earth by giving him the keys symbolizing the office of steward - just like Joseph in Egypt (cf. Gen 41:41) and Eliakim (cf.Isaiah 22:20-22). Jesus even quoted the passage from Isaiah as He did so. And since Jesus is an eternal king, the office of His steward must continue, also. The successors of Peter, the popes of the Catholic Church, have held those keys ever since.

@@randycarson9812 I don't think Peter was made a leader of the church here. The keys btw were for binding and loosing, into the kingdom. The kingdom is inward (Luke 17:20-21). The text says nothing about succession, nor infallibility, head of church etc. We see in Matthew 18:18 the disciples also were binding and loosing. If anything, Genesis 41:41 and Isaiah 22:20-24 were foreshadows of Jesus. All authority was given to Jesus, not Peter. Isaiah 22: 21 And I will clothe him with thy robe and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Isaiah 61:10 22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open and none shall shut, and he shall shut and none shall open. Revelation 1:10, 5:1-7 23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house. Jesus died on the cross, not Peter openbible.info/topics/they_nailed_jesus_to_the_cross 24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons.

Paul spent 15 days with Peter, Galatians 1:18, don't you think Peter would have shared with him what happened in Matthew 16?

The Church traces its origins to Jesus Christ and the apostles, particularly Peter, who is regarded as the first pope. Early Christian communities were already well-established by the end of the first century. Constantine's significant contribution was the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, which granted religious tolerance and ended Christian persecution, and the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, which addressed theological disputes. These actions influenced the Church's public status but did not establish it. Historical records and writings from Church Fathers show clear continuity in doctrine and leadership from the apostles through the early centuries. Thus, the Catholic Church’s origins lie firmly in the early Christian era, long before Constantine’s reign.

Just as the Founding Fathers of the United States established the principles and framework that led to the birth of a new nation, the New Testament authors, through their inspired writings and teachings, developed the beliefs, practices and ecclesial structures for what was initially termed "the Way" and later evolved into the Catholic Church Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, used the term "Catholic Church" in a letter dated AD 107 in a manner which suggests that the name was in widespread usage before the end of the first century and possibly during the lifetime of the Apostle John, who may have regarded himself as a member of the Catholic Church-the enduring name for the Body of Christ to this day.

Since the early 16th Century, it has never been about Catholicism vs. Protestantism but rather JESUS OWN WORDS vs. Luther's interpretations. When Jesus said, "This is my Body... and this is my Blood;" Luther replied, "Nah, Jesus. That is just a wafer. When Jesus said, "Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved. And whoever does not believe (therefore not baptised) will be condemned;" Luther replied, "You are wrong again, Jesus. I say that baptism is not necessary for salvation." When Jesus said, "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will have no life in you... for my flesh is food indeed and my blood is drink in deed;" Luther replied, "You don't mean it, do you, Jesus? That is cannibalism." Catholics listen to Jesus. Protestants believe Luther more. That is our faith difference.

@@KrishaL-jp3gx paragraph 1 -- too much focus on luther -- i am not a lutheran. paragraph 2 -- actually, all Scripture testifies that it's symbolic or we'd see NT examples of them literally chewing Him. paragraph 3 -- what about showing love to Christ as He states in John 14:15? paragraph 4 -- see 'paragraph 2' answer. paragraph 5 -- catholics don't listen to Christ -- again see John 14:15.

@@tony1685 you are not Lutheran but your interpretations adopt his as your also a Sola Scritpura and Sola Fide advocate. Where in the Bible that it suggests that the Eucharist is meant to be symbolic? That's only your interpretation which you adopted from Luther. Jesus never said, "This represents my Body or this is not my Body." He categorically stated. "THIS IS MY BODY... AND THIS IS MY BLOOD;" "Unless you eat my Flesh and drink my Blood, you will have no life in you. For my flesh is food indeed and my Blood is drink indeed." Do these all sound to you be symbolic? In your interpretations but not to Jesus. The early Church Fathers taught the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. You disregard their interpretations to favour yours without thinking that they have preserved, defended, and martyred for their faith for the first 1500 years of Christianity. Protestants although all fruits of Sola Scriptura can't even agree among themselves on their doctrines.

@@KrishaL-jp3gx _'Where in the Bible that it suggests that the eucharist meant to be symbolic?'_ -- nowhere, it's not in the Bible. the Lord's Supper is Biblical and symbolic. Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 11, Leviticus 17, Deuteronomy 14 -- then John 6:63 explains that the flesh 'profits nothing'. so why do you cherry pick? if the early church believed such, then please produce Scripture supportive of them gathering around to do such. you have to remember, the 'church' which propagates this nonsense is a system which is Biblically proven to not know God, not love Jesus Christ and to not walk in Truth -- these aren't questionable, but clearly proven in Scripture.

@@tony1685 @tony1685 Did the Scritpure tell you that it was the sole authority? No. What rather it says, "the pillar and foundation of truth is the Church of the living God." Where did it say that the Last Supper, the Eucharist, meant to be symbolic? Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will have no life in you; for my flesh is food indeed and my blood is drink indeed. How are you supposed to consume His Flesh and Blood if it is only imagination? The Scripture says that any unworthy who consumes the Bread and Wine will be guilty of sin against the Body and Blood of the Lord. If he eats, he eats his damnation. If he drinks, he drinks his damnation. Tell me how do you interpret this? If you protestant consumes an ordinary bread and wine, will that transgress the Body and Blood of the Lord?

Non-Catholics often claim that Catholics violate Jesus’ commands because they call their priests “Father”? Is that really what Jesus meant? Let’s go to the scriptures to see. "In that day I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your sash on him, and will commit your authority to his hand. And he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah." (Is 22:21) "And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven." (Mt 23:9) The use of "father" in Isaiah shows that the term can be appropriately applied to those who serve in roles of spiritual leadership and guidance, as long as it does not overshadow the recognition of God’s unique fatherhood. This understanding helps reconcile the two passages, indicating that Jesus' command in Matthew 23:9 is not a universal prohibition against the term but a reminder of the preeminent fatherhood of God.

I appreciate the detailed comment and the thought you put into it. Unfortunately you’ve thought long and hard just to come up with a lot of wrong answers and scriptural misinterpretations. The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ. You are always welcome to come back home to Him. God bless you.

@@TheCatholicIdiot refute my wrong answers and misinterpretations using the word of God itself and I will be all ears. If you could use the gospel to test the spirit of truth in what I have written for all the readers to see, correct me using the written word of God so that we could all profit. Isn’t it written that it is profitable for teaching, refuting and correcting us believers in our path to righteousness-Timothy 3:16? And aren’t we taught to teach and admonish one another in the word of Christ-Colossians 3:16? So pls correct my misinterpretations if you know so. I’m fully aware that I do not know everything and even when I do, my heart is always eager to hear the word of God because very truly it is written that those that think they know it all, don’t know much-1 Corinthians 8:2. And those that seek the truth and are mistaken, God will bring to understanding-Isaiah 29:24? We have no disagreement that Christ built the church. He said it himself in Matthew 16:18. And I’m careful to heed Peter’s advice in 2 Peter 3:2 to always be mindful of Christ’s words so that I’m aware of his truth. I suppose it’s clear we both have differing ideas of what that church actually is. The question is directed to the Catholic doctrine that Peter established the church in Rome, being he was taught to be the first pope which you surely were familiar with while there are no solid proof of such in the gospels or even in his own epistles. As a matter of fact, in his first epistle he was addressing the Jews on how they should carry their conversations with the gentiles-1 Peter 2:12 and in his second epistle he cited the epistles of Paul given to the churches outside of Jerusalem for they were mostly started by Paul, which brings up the question if Peter was the one who started the church in Rome. I write all these to you as my brother please do not be offended. It isn’t my intention to offend. My intention is to raise these question to urge everyone to seek the answers themselves in the Bible. It’s my belief not scripture that the gospels were written near the end of the apostles lives because they were meant for the future generations, our generation to help us in testing the spirit for we were foretold to be very careful because many will be led astray.

Was Peter ever in Rome? Many non-Catholics say “no” in an attempt to undermine Catholic claims for the papacy. But what does scripture say? First, let’s recall that these same people often claim that Rome is the whore of Babylon seen in Revelation 17. Babylon is a code word for Rome, and it is used that way multiple times in works like the Sibylline Oracles (5:159f), the Apocalypse of Baruch (2:1), and 4 Esdras (3:1). So how does this help establish Peter’s presence in Rome? Because Peter himself wrote: “She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.” (1 Peter 5:13) So, we have to ask: why was a code word used? At the time, Herod had just killed James, and it was almost certain that he would have killed Peter, also. Peter's death must have been imminent, because God intervened by sending an angel to help Peter escape. Naturally, Herod would not have been pleased to learn of Peter's escape, and Peter was in greater peril than ever. Consequently, he fled the region. This is evident from the following: “Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell James and the brothers about this," he said, and then he left for another place.” (Acts 12:17) What was this “other place”? It was Rome, and Peter himself confirmed this in his first epistle shown above. Further, Eusebius Pamphilius noted that “It is said that Peter’s first epistle, in which he makes mention of Mark, was composed at Rome itself; and that he himself indicates this, referring to the city figuratively as Babylon.” (Eusebius, The Chronicle, AD 303) Since Peter's life was in danger due to Herod's desire to arrest and kill him, neither Peter nor Paul would have specified Peter's exact whereabouts in any written communications that could have been confiscated from any courier by Roman soldiers. This explains the use of the word "Babylon' and the silence about Peter's location in the rest of the book of Acts.
