Differences in What Christians Teach

Evarestus (c.169 A.D.) “Accordingly, we afterwards took up his [Polycarp’s] bones, as being more precious than the most exquisite jewels, and more purified than gold, and deposited them in a fitting place, whither, being gathered together, as opportunity is allowed us, with joy and rejoicing, the Lord shall grant us to celebrate the anniversary of his martyrdom, both in memory of those who have already finished their course, and for the exercising and preparation of those yet to walk in their steps.” Martyrdom of Polycarp ch.18 p.43

Cyprian of Carthage (c.246-258 A.D.) Finally, also, take note of their days on which they depart, that we may celebrate their commemoration among the memorials of the martyrs,” Epistles of Cyprian Letter 36.2 p.305

Ambrose of Milan (370-390 A.D.) (Implied) “The Lord regarded indeed lowly things when He revealed to His Church the relics of the holy martyrs lying hidden under the unnoted turf, whose souls were in heaven, their bodies in the earth:” Letter 22 no.7 p.437

Ambrose of Milan (370-390 A.D.) “This spot I had destined for myself, for it is fitting that the priest should rest where he hath been wont to offer, but I give up the right side to the sacred victims: that spot was due to the martyrs. Wherefore let us bury the hallowed relics, placing them in a worthy home, and let us employ the whole day in faithful devotion.” Letters of Ambrose letter 22 ch.13 p.162

Genuine Acts of Peter of Alexandria (after 384 A.D. before 858 A.D.) “So, honouring him with a triumphal funeral, they covered his body with the linen sheets; but the sacred blood which had been poured forth, they collected reverently in a wallet. In the meanwhile an innumerable multitude of either sex, flocking together from the populous city, with groans and ejaculations asked each other in turn, being ignorant, in what manner this had happened. In truth, from the least to the greatest, a very great grief was prevalent amongst all. For when the chief men of the city beheld the laudable importunity of the multitude, who were busied in dividing his sacred spoils to keep them as relics, they wrapped him up the tighter in the skins and linen sheets.”

After the Council of Ephesus I (325-431 A.D.)

Council of Nicea II (787 A.D.) (implied) “And if any bishop from this time forward is found consecrating a temple [church] without holy relics, he shall be deposed, as a transgressor of the ecclesiastical traditions.” Canons of the Council of Nice II (787 A.D.) Canon 7 (NPF2) p.560.

Job, in mystic language, describes Leviathan and Behemoth; … All at once Vigilantius, or, more correctly Dormitantius (‘sleeper”) has arisen, animated by an unclear spirit, to fight against the Spirit of Christ, and to deny that religious reverence is to paid to the tombs of the martyrs.” Against Vigilantius ch.1 p.417.

God does not mention this in His word, the Bible.

No writers prior to Nicea I (325 A.D.).

After the Fourth Lateran Council (1215 A.D.)

Joan of Arc was sentenced as a witch and heretic by a church court under Pierre Cauthon, the bishop of Beauvais. She was burned at the stake in the town of Rouen 30 May 1431. She appealed to the Pope, but the Pope said and did nothing. Joan of Arc died with one word, “Jesus” on her lips.

Martin V (Pope from 11 Nov. 1417-11 Mar. 1431) was from Rome and was made Pope at the Council of Constance. He was pope during the fighting, but not when Joan of Arc was executed.

Eugene IV (Pope 11 Mar 1431-1447) was an Augustinian monk from Venice. This is the pope who did nothing for Joan of Arc. What was important to Pope Eugene IV at this time instead? According to Wikipedia [6 Dec 2007], “By a written agreement made before his election he agreed with the cardinals to distribute to them one-half of all the revenues of the Church and promised to consult with them on all questions of importance, both spiritual and temporal. Upon taking the Papal Chair, Eugene IV took violent measures against the numerous Colonna relations of his predecessor [Martin V]”

Eugene IV also struggled with the church at the Council of Florence (1431-1439)

24 years later [1455 A.D.], after Pope Eugene IV died, the church, with the Pope’s blessing, had a “revision” of the trial of Joan of Arc, where they declared her innocent.

Pope Pius X beatified Joan of Arc in 1909.

Pope Benedict XV canonized here as a saint in 1920.

-Sn11. Halos drawn on pictures of people or angels (0)

Tertullian (198-220 A.D.) (partial) “That whole halo which encircles the Church is represented (as consisting) of holiness. Priesthood is (a function) of widowhood and of celibacies among the nations.” To His Wife book 1 ch.7 p.43

After the Council of Nicea I (325- A.D.)

Jesus was drawn with a halo as early as the third or fourth century. Halos were drawn around angels and saints starting in the fifth century.

X Protestants generally doe not have art like that.

-Sn12. Venerate Padre Pio who said Jesus in suffering now (0)

Padre Pio (lived 1887-1968). Had stigmata, forbidden to preach or given communion to others because thought the stigmata were fake, a cult of personality was forming, and accusations of immoral relationships with some of the women he counseled. However, the Roman Catholic Church canonized him as a saint in 2002.

Padre Pio (April 7, 1913) wrote that “Jesus is in agony until the end of the world, for the sake of the souls that most benefited from me.” Letter from Pade Prio to Father Agostino https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7Y_GUo-krQ

And when any one of the saints shall lay hold of a cluster, another shall cry out, 'I am a better cluster, take me; bless the Lord through me.' In like manner, [He said] that a grain of wheat would produce ten thousand ears, and that every ear would have ten thousand grains, and every grain would yield ten pounds of clear, pure, fine flour; and that apples, and seeds, and grass would produce in similar proportions; and that all animals, feeding then only on the productions of the earth, would become peaceable and harmonious, and be in perfect subjection to man.’” Fragments of Papias ch.4 p.153-154

Epistle of Barnabas (c.70-130 A.D.) ch.6 p.141 “For, my brethren, the habitation of our heart is a holy temple to the Lord.

Polycarp (100-155 A.D.) “But may the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ Himself, who is the Son of God, and our everlasting High Priest, build you up in faith and truth, and in all meekness, gentleness, patience, long-suffering, forbearance, and purity; and may He bestow on you a lot and portion among His saints, and on us with you, and on all that are under heaven, who shall believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, and in His Father, who "raised Him from the dead. Pray for all the saints.” Polycarp’s Epistle to the Philippians ch.12 p.35-36

Justin Martyr (c.138-165 A.D.) (implied) quotes Psalm 50. “Fire shall burn before Him, and it shall be very temptestuous round about Him.

Irenaeus of Lyons (182-188 A.D.)

Tertullian (207-208 A.D.) “For as much, then, as there is but one Son of man whose advent is placed between the two issues of catastrophe and promise, it must needs follow that to that one Son of man belong both the judgments upon the nations, and the prayers of the saints.” Five Books Against Marcion book 4 ch.39 p.215

Cyprian of Carthage (c.248-256 A.D.) (implied) “Likewise in the thirty-third Psalm: "O taste and see how sweet is the Lord. Blessed is the man that hopeth in Him. Fear the Lord God, all ye His saints: for there is no want to them that fear Him.” Treatises of Cyprian Treatise 12 part 1 ch.22 p.514

Athanasius of Alexandria (c.318 A.D.) “This, too, is what Paul means to point out when he says: "That ye [6] being rooted and grounded in love, may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length, and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.” Incarnation of the Word ch.16.2 p.45

Eusebius of Caesarea (318-325 A.D.) “Thus, too, His own body was raised up, and many bodies of the sleeping saints arose, and came together with Him into the holy and real City of Heaven, as rightly is said by the holy words: "Death has prevailed and swallowed men up"; and again: "The Lord God has taken away every tear from every face.” Demonstration of the Gospel ch.12
