Resurrection of Christ, page-1057

Bible translation is an extremely tricky process. Not only do translators work with languages that are thousands of years old, but they have to take into account the prevailing culture that shaped the language. This is especially difficult when pagan ideas and concepts of the time heavily influenced colloquial idioms and jargon.


Thank angus


Did you read this, your mate wotsup need to take a hard look at it too as I told him this many times but rejects it to give credit to himself, he has no choice to knock it on the head and pretend the bible is easy to comprehend


That's the difference no matter how smart a translator of history is or are, they cannot be 100% sure as per above quote , that they got it right in context, no matter what, period, unless they were there and experienced it first hand

The CC was there and formulated creeds prayers hymns and dogmas so we know exactly what the faith was going to the time of the apostles, even fought heresies, was there when it was needed



and to your other post, very funny the CC started at the time of the apostles here is a list of Popes from day one

we have documents written by Pope Clement I. so we are very certain the Papacy exited early way before 300ad

Gnosticism/the modern day new age, yeah, where were you or your protestant brothers fighting heresies from day one, Gnostic system posed a major challenge to orthodox Christian teachings, forcing the Church to clarify and defend its doctrines against his heretical ideas, and by the way that's how doctrines are born, in the likes of the Trinity, or anything else that is disputed, then councils are held to adhere to the teaching and then solidified


Here are the first 10 popes, if you want the rest they can easily be found on the internet

St. Peter (c. 30 - c. 64 AD)
St. Linus (c. 64 - c. 76 AD) the one mentioned in the bible
St. Anacletus (c. 76 - c. 88 AD)
St. Clement I (c. 88 - c. 97 AD)
St. Evaristus (c. 97 - c. 105 AD)
St. Alexander I (c. 105 - c. 115 AD)
St. Sixtus I (c. 115 - c. 125 AD)
St. Telesphorus (c. 125 - c. 136 AD)
St. Hyginus (c. 136 - c. 140 AD)
St. Pius I (c. 140 - c. 155 AD)
