What does this have to do with Mary, the pope, etc?

You mean the Deuterocanonicals? If you mean to say that the Deuterocanonicals are not Scripture, where does Scripture teach 1) What counts as Scripture, and 2) That the Deuterocanonicals do not count as Scripture? Appealing to Second Timothy 3:16 about "All Scripture is God Breathed and useful...

Great! Then you have no argument with Catholics and Catholics have no argument with you. We will find out at the judgement what we got right and wrong. You worship God according to the dictates of your conscience, we will do likewise.

Please produce a list or lists of all the teachings that a "scriptural" that the first Christians believed. When you are finished, explain why you think YOUR list is correct and why you think the list another believer would produce is not correct. And yet there are Christian sects that practice...

And what is this "biblical" doctrine from your view? Please produce a list or lists of all doctrines you think are "biblical" and thus, believed by the first Christians.

Of course they do! They are the successors to Peter! What was unique to the apostles, however, was they were the bearers of revelation, not simply the teachers of Faith. The pope and bishops are not bearers of revelation, they are the teachers of the Faith. They guard and hand on what the...

Why does this have to involve false dichotomies?

Again, I quoted revelation to show that the word "foundation" is not solely applied to Jesus. Will you please stop playing semantics?

I thought orthodox Protestants believe Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide. Am I wrong?

I did. What I am asking is---did these "ekklesia" believe Lutheran doctrine? Methodist doctrine? Anglican doctrine? Baptist doctrine? Presbyterian doctrine? Non-sectarian doctrine? What?

Oh? So Peter formally taught everyone that circumcision is necessary for Gentile converts did he? I am not watering down anything. Infallibility applies to TEACHING, not EXAMPLE. There is a difference. You confuse "infallibility" with "impeccability." Peter was not impeccable, he was infallible.

No, that is being a bad example---or sinning if you will.

Well, what church did? The Lutheran Church? The Methodist Church? Pastor Bob's First Church of when the Bible speaks he speaks and when the Bible is silent, he is silent? What?

I said PROTESTANTISM is Satanic--not putting one's faith and trust wholly in Jesus for complete salvation, great and free.

Um, I quoted Revelation to show that the apostles are also given as the foundation of the Church. I did not quote the passage to prove the RCC is the Church.

So--like--you want me to like--cute and paste the entirety of the four Gospels and the Acts? Not gonna happen. Google it and read it for yourself. There is the proof.

I DID. Read----the New Testament, specifically the Gospels and the Acts. See Peter's role and prominence in the Gospel? Yeah---that would, you know, like---be the proof.

Because the Pope --and for that matter--the bishops----are the SUCCESSORS to the apostles, NOT apostles. The office of APOSTLE is unique in the Church. Certain gifts were unique to the apostles and were not passed on to their successors.

"The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." (Revelation 21:14) The city spoken about is the new Jerusalem, the Church. Yes, this refers to the rock that gave the Israelites water. The rock was Christ. Paul is not referring to...

Dude--like---have you ever read the New Testatament? You might want to try it sometime. Peter's primacy is all over the pages of Scripture.
