The pope sits on the chair of Saint Peter through apostolic succession Even so, they call him the Holy Father all the while scripture says, Matthew 23:9 KJV [9] And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Us Roman Catholics are Christians but all other sect of Christianity are essentially branches of the catholic church except the Orthodox church. The Apostle Peter simply founded a Christian community in Rome, becoming the first preacher there! After 1054, the Vatican went into schism and endowed its leader with non-biblical authority and other material! But you are right a lot of Christian churches arose after the Vatican first went into a major schism! Christ founded one church(Not many churches) that can not be crushed! Mt. 16:18

Catholics don't have their doctrine right but I do believe that a Catholic can be a true Christian with a relationship with God. My old pastor met someone just like this.

The modern Vatican has long lost its continuity from Peter because Byzantium retained apostolic succession after 1054!

Catholics have many preachers that are very... touchy-touchy with the kids, so, most of their priests are heathens and the spawns of satan.

No, they're not. It's like the mormans who practice another religion. Why both are part of Christianity confusses me. One follows Joseph Smith and the other follows the Pope. Funny thing is...neither of those two are even mentioned in scripture. What is in the Scriptures? Both Catholics and Orthodoxians are Christian, as they believe that Christ rose from the dead. (Without this belief, says Paul, our faith would be in vain.) The Scriptures state that he rose. Well, I do not have the Greek text, but I remember the Latin text: "resurrexit non est hic" which can be taken in two ways:(1) "resurrexit, non est hic" (= he rose, he is not here), or (2) "resurrexit non, est hic" (= he did not rise, he is here). I know, the context and other statements favor interpretation # 1. If we go simply by what the Scriptures state, a comma makes the difference between a Christian and a non-Christian.

Catholics are Christian. But modern Protestantism is Marcionism which I don't consider to be Christian.

Satan knows Christ rose from the dead too. So is satan a Christian too? My atheist cousin believes Christ rose from the dead too. And he will tell you that he's not a Christian.

Elizabeth , So you're comparing Catholics and Orthodox to Satan and your cousin who's apparently a walking oxymoron.

Man I think a better question regarding sects and their "Are they ___" would be is the Westboro Baptist Church Christian? Based upon quite a few of your literal interpretations and fanaticism I would have to say yes...

No God Would Allow Clergy to Sin in His Name, So Religion Is a Play Station for the Hereditary Ruling Class
There were no commas in Latin or Ancient Greek. The text was in all capitals, with no spaces between the words: WITHNOSPACESBETWEENTHEWORDS.

What I did there was prove that believing that Jesus rose from the dead is not important to the situation. Anyone can believe that and not be a Christian. He made it seem like to be a Christian then you must believe Christ rose. That's false.
