What time, and it’s still unbroken, I don’t believe any time has passed without a Pope

I thought the Pope didn’t matter to you, so why are we discussing it?

The Roman Catholic church has been corrupted by the world, most of your popes have been corrupt.

I did mention corruption in the Church in my essay, but you act if any other religion is perfect

I understand the corruption, but we have to fix it, like Jesus does for us

@Mercy I summon thee

James the brother of Jesus was a more prominent leader of the early church than peter was.

So you admit Peter started the Church

Im not reading that entire paper. Im not paid to be a teacher.

no

You mention the early church

So

Christ started the church

Anyway, that’s fine, you don’t have to read it, I guess I win tonight

I meant the church in the general sense

not the rcc

I guess, but Peter did lead the early church

the early church had many leaders

He was the first leader, put there by Jesus

each city had 12 elders

no

And I thought you said the church was “believers” not an actual church

You go back and forth a lot

So who was the first leader, who appointed them?

your asking for one name aren't you

Not necessarily

I would say the apostles were

Sorry if I read this wrong but do you think James is the literal brother of Jesus or did you use the word in the sense of like saying brother to anyone

The Bible said Peter to start the Church, and you guys are so connected and knowledgeable of the Bible , so why would it be the apostles

I think he meant John or someone

what do you mean?

You said James the Brother of Jesus, he’s just confused on what you meant

Like do you think James is literally Jesus’s brother. Born from the same mother

Also, Pizzacork, did you read my essay?

there were 2 James, James the brother of John and James one of Mary's children after she gave birth to Jesus.

Does the Bible say Jesus had a brother?

I’m curious

Can you cite where it says they’re brothers

Not yet but I will soon

of course, you think Mary stayed a virgin forever don't you

No, she got married, why wouldn’t they have sex?
