How long has the church assisted in keeping women suppressed?

False claims of Rose42, one of the most famous ignorant and Protestant LIARS here at OPP.

The Catholic Church claims to have the authority for of Christ to the apostles (CCC 77, 85, 88, 895, 1495, 888). But, can the Pope and the Bishops do what Jesus and the apostles did? Jesus said his authority to forgive sins was demonstrated by his miracles which he exercised on command (Matt. 9:6; Luke 5:24; John 5:8). He gave this authority to the disciples to pronounce forgiveness of sins (John 20:23), heal all disease and sickness (Matt. 10:1), as well as raise the dead (Matt. 10:8). Jesus healed the lame (Matt. 15:30; 21:14). Peter healed the lame on command (Acts 3:6) as did Paul (Acts 14:8-10). Jesus healed paralytics on command (Luke 5:24; Matt. 9:6; Mark 2:10-12). Peter also healed the paralytic on command (Acts 9:34). Jesus raised the dead with a command (Mark 5:38-42; Luke 7:14-15; John 11:43-44). Peter raised the dead by command (Acts 9:40-41). So, apostolic authority was clearly demonstrated by the apostles uttering commands of healing and raising the dead. Since Jesus gave the apostles the authority to do the miraculous on command (Matt. 10:1, 8), then those with the apostle’s authority (the Pope and the Bishops) should be able to do the same thing since they claim to have the same apostolic authority. Since the Pope and Bishops do not do the miraculous on command (otherwise it would be known to all), then they do not have apostolic authority.

Carm is an organization lead by Matt Slick in 1995, a Christian Protestant Apologetics. It is not a Christian Church but an enterprise system designed to earn money by selling the words of God to the people. Now Matt Slick has earned multi-billion dollars on his business, since 1995.

Never one to mince words...

“False gods, attempts to represent the true God, and indeed, all material things which are worshipped, are so much filth upon the face of the earth, whether they be crosses, crucifixes, virgins, wafers, relics, or even the Pope himself. We are by far too mealy mouthed about these infamous a*********ns: God abhors them, and so should we. To renounce the glory of spiritual worship for outward pomp and show is the height of folly, and deserves to be treated as such.” by (C.H. Spurgeon, The Treasury of David, Psalm 106:20)

“It is the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against Antichrist, and as to what Antichrist is no sane man ought to raise a question. If it be not the popery in the Church of Rome there is nothing in the world that can be called by that name. If there were to be issued a hue and cry for Antichrist, we should certainly take up this church on suspicion, and it would certainly not be let loose again, for it so exactly answers the description.” (C.H. Spurgeon) Spurgeon did not believe in the Holy Ghost.

Another Rose42's criminal assault on the true Church of Christ.
“Popery is contrary to Christ’s Gospel, and is the Antichrist, and we ought to pray against it. It should be the daily prayer of every believer that Antichrist might be hurled like a millstone into the flood and for Christ, because it wounds Christ, because it robs Christ of His glory, because it puts sacramental efficacy in the place of His atonement, and lifts a piece of bread into the place of the Saviour, and a few drops of water into the place of the Holy Ghost, and puts a mere fallible man like ourselves up as the vicar of Christ on earth; if we pray against it, because it is against Him, we shall love the persons though we h**e their errors: we shall love their souls though we loath and detest their dogmas, and so the breath of our prayers will be sweetened, because we turn our faces towards Christ when we pray.” (C.H. Spurgeon)

The Church of Christ is the true Catholic Church. Matthew 16:16-20.
Matthew 16:17-19 New International Version (NIV)


17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; wh**ever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and wh**ever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

SOLA SCRIPTURA IS MAN-MADE. It did not come from Jesus Christ, but from man like Luther or Calvin.
So many Protestant interpreters came about, with interpretations of their own. Most recent interpreter was Matt Slick a Calvinist Apologetics, and Charles Spurgeon, a Baptist Apologetics, who by-passed the power of God.

Slick made billions of dollars, by selling the words of God.

The Holy Scriptures came from the mouth of Christ. Not from man-made words created by men, like Matt Slick, Charles Spurgeon, or the 47,000 pastors selling the words of Christ to the world.

You cannot change the word of God, created some 1,987 years ago, by man-made Sola Scriptura created during the 16th century, 501 years ago. Sola Scriptura ignored 3/4's of the history of Christ,33AD, and selectively copied the Scriptures from the Catholic Church during the 16th century.

You won't offend me with anything you say. We are free to choose what to believe.

The Bible was written by men in the sense that they held the pen. It was the Holy Spirit that guided them. It is God's word not theirs.

Men can't forgive sins - only God can.

I don't question why God made us the way He did. Not anymore anyway. Lol. Our finite mind can't grasp His

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD -Isaiah 55:8

I look at it this way too - men have always been the more natural leaders and that isn't because women were suppressed. That's nature. That is different than equal pay for equal work and discrimination. At the same time today's women's movement tends to marginalize men. You can't empower women that way.

I suppose that is possible, I see it words spoken by Christ, as with all his sermons,
but interpreted by men, and then again interpreted by those who created and edited the Bible.

Rose42 wrote:

Then why are there priests?

Correct in the patriarchal platitudes of the church, where only priests forgive sins.
Being brought up Catholic I recall when we were actually old enough to go into the confession booth(after our holy communion) for the priest to hear our sins, and remember thinking at the ripe old age of seven, what do I need him for? As I was taught that through prayer we speak directly to him and he hears everything. And out of everything I was taught, that was the main lesson I learned, aside from love and forgiveness.

Rose42 wrote:

I guess this is where we differ, I do question, which is not a sin, questioning leads to learning. The hard part is at times is the acceptance and to allow and surrender in complete faith. To be able to understand that I don't know my journey's end and why but have faith it is for my highest good. What may be painful now, may be intended to reap rewards later. Which may be as simply learning life's lesson and reaching a new understanding.

I look at it this way too - men have always been the more natural leaders and that isn't because women were suppressed. That's nature. That is different than equal pay for equal work and discrimination. At the same time today's women's movement tends to marginalize men. You can't empower women that way.


I do completely and emphatically disagree with men being more leaders by nature and not from suppression. Leadership comes from traits acquired from DNA and from life's experiences and how we have approached them. There have been women who have been great leaders when on the rare occasion the opportunity arose. Queen Elizabeth jumps to mind. But these opportunities were more like a needle in the haystack. We are finally moving into a time where that will change, look at the female leaders we have going on now. We are finally reaching a place of true e******y, yea!

I've enjoyed our conversation, don't let Rad get to you, water off a ducks back.
