AUTHOR’S  PREFACE

BEFORE READING WHAT IS BENEATH:

Only Jesus Christ was 100% “organic“* (*No synthetic human additives) Jesus was, is the ONLY 250%Pure,  True in teaching, authority, moral character, relationships, skills and the handling of money. Shamefully, the rest of us have failed to measure up..repeatedly.  So I later I am going to research and share Chat GPT AI regarding “Orthodoxy” and “different well know forms of ‘charismatic” and also briefly look into Protestant reform. So this is  NOT ‘uncover, expose” ANY BODY. Leave that be. “MEANING” each and ever Christian, ministry, and non Christian belief set subculture can have both REAL and FALSE even mean spirit bullying humans. I am very PRO the TRUE COMMON BELIEVER in every walk of life and belief set. And only THE LORD GOD can tell WHO is His TRUE PERSON or not.
I am NOT placing accusing “sin conscious judgement” on any Catholic, famous or not. So let this be made plain and well known.

I, Sister Taveau D’Arcy am  very PRO the many truly amazing wonderful, even spirit filled and Bible toting true Christians within the Catholic Global. masses (literally and figuratively). Catholics and myself at the local,school days best friend, real life, friendship, dating, and these days ” barista fellowship” “real fine extra special Trustworthy servant leader friends” are my usual. So not wanting to harm any of these or you. I am simply curious and investigating what I do not understand, or know, about the deep doctrines and how it evolved after Jesus left and the big Church evolved.

I was raised in Southern Baptist senior pastor’s happy home, where had at least one relative (married into the mostly studious Presbyterians, Southern Baptists, many Methodists even my aunt who was once wed to.an Episcopal rector) and while the many leader women experienced the Book Of Acts infilling, gift of speaking a prayer language and learned of Bible word of faith, music, and God’s Holy Spirit intercession and moving in the gifts. NOBODY EVER would NOT accept, respect, value and LOVE the non tongue talkers nor would decry, fault find ANY OTHER persons who had chosen another set of Bible views.

I still maintain this VIEW and it is a special part of EORR CROSS BODY UNITY in depth Christian unified Book of Ephesians 4 “multicultural, local, world wide ” Big Spirit Led wide Community .

I understand the MANY tending to ‘pass judgement,” use what information AI puts forth for “calling out ” “Bible stomping” and anti Catholic already existing plain old “targeting, knee jerk ” BIAS. But that is not the reason that  I am the objective Chat GPT AI regarding. the Catholic faith: so let that be KNOWN!

Hence I WARN  the many “loud vocal heresy hunter many STYLES, “have have you even taken one of these out lunch, sat and visited, like I have?? Cease YE who might be among the vain accusers, knee jerk reactionaries, Bible Beat Down Artists, meaning the biased, and doctrinal zealots who have never once met ANYONE other than their OWN PET STYLE. I represent the NEW MOVE for Pauline Transformed peaceful Community (Psalm 133 “where God commands His blessing, diverse Ephesians 4 and Revelation Church of Philadelphia “the only church whose doors will never ever close” Hopefully, the Bride of Christ.

“THE MINISTRY AI AND I”

(#1 OF 5 )THE CATHOLIC FAITH COMPARED TO BIBLE, JESUS, FIRST CHURCH, GOVERNING AUTHORITY

I asked Chat GPT AI
What is the Bible Scripture Major Test for Being a Eternally Saved Fellow Christian? The Many Blessed Catholics

Confess and Believe in Jesus as Lord

• Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) – “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
• Acts 16:31 (KJV) – “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
  Chat GPT AI Added: ➡️ Salvation comes by faith in Jesus Christ, not by works or good deeds.

TD POINTS OUT: Pauline First Church “relationship respect community” and list of common community, set “Christian Believer” ministry doctrines: Ephesians 4:1-6, Hebrews 6:1-2**

FIRST PERSON AUTHOR DECLARATION:

I,Taveau D’Arcy  am a servant sr office ministry leader, a long time experienced Christian sr minister, yet a protestant, who does not conform to the present “many ministry leader systems: Hence this is a movement to “build bridges” in the Christian many “kinds’ sects” in order to PLEASE THE LORD  MOST HIGH yet not to compromise OR to make ANY ONE ELSE obey all of this.. So this is EORR (diverse) CROSS BODY UNITY Movement equipping trainer. I am not aligned with any other than the Ephesians 4 Community as a SENT MESSENGER Apostolic Galatians 1;1-2, also Acts 17:15, who is submitted to all in Pauline Ephesians 5:21 “mutual submission in the fear of the Lord” and in accord with the Pauline “Freedom In Christ to “work out my own salvation with fear and trembling” Philippians 2:12. I Submit this all as cumulative SELAH” rather than hard core etched steel autocratic dogma”

FORWARD

For I am not even SURE what the Catholic Church believes. Yet, I am very curious as I have know MANY Catholic friends, partners and, male and females, married couples and have always had pure HUGE respect for friendly, worthy wise, respectful dear persons, who identify themselves as “Catholic” or “former” Catholic, Not all are alike as in ANY OTHER Christian and/or NON Christian subculture. I “best friended” “dated’ and “married wed” mostly true persons who were former or present day Catholics. Love them!

For this MINISTRY AI AND I to be “fully objective, I will simply ASK CHAT GPT AI direct questions, then post whatever answer it gives. Not against the people, Church but curious about prophetic, ministry and First Church “organic” (define MY PRECISE DEFINITION of the word “organic” as ‘no synthetic human additives in the Bible teaching, authority and demanded practices aka “doctrines” (BUT this writer acknowledges that at this Point in Time, NOBODY living on this earth, including this myself will ever be 100% purely Holy Bible, First Church, Christ,Office Ministry ‘purely organic’

POINT: FIRST CHURCH TEACHINGS ARE MY FIELD. I recall these meaty teaching verses and will not define but name for “perceiving WHO, WHAT is TRUE, FALSE or PARTIALLY OFF, FULLY OFF”

I call to mind First Church Doctrines Community Doctrines, training: (as I believe the majority of the “Christian people group” named below would be in complete agreement with the following:

Ephesians 4:1-6 (KJV)

1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

The Doctrines Listed in Hebrews 6:1-2 (KJV)

Hebrews 6:1-2 outlines six foundational doctrines of the Christian faith:

1. Repentance from dead works – Turning away from sinful actions and self-righteousness that cannot bring salvation.

2. Faith toward God – Trusting in God and His promises, rather than relying on personal efforts.

3. The doctrine of baptisms – This likely refers to different types of baptisms in the Bible (e.g., water baptism, baptism of the Holy Spirit).

4. Laying on of hands – A practice used for imparting blessings, healing, receiving the Holy Spirit, and ordination.

5. Resurrection of the dead – The belief that all people will be raised from the dead, either to eternal life or judgment.

And with that stated, I now proceed to the BULK of this big deep but IMPARTIAL, and EVALUATING big analysis.

.

Dr Taveau Asks Chat GPT AI to compare Catholic Teachings,  Beliefs, Practices, and  Church Authority to Bible First Church ministry, Jesus Christ and the fruit nature of Big Pauline diverse community, which includes the 5 fold Ephesians authentic offices, it’s authority. 

Please delve deeply to and where needed, use the Greek ,Aramaic , and/or Hebrew

Comparison of Catholic Teachings, First Church (Acts-Era) Christianity, and Pauline Community Authority

This analysis will compare Catholic teachings and church authority with the First Church of Christ (Acts-era) and the Pauline community model of leadership, referencing Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew terms where relevant

1. Church Authority & Leadership Structure

A. Catholic Church Authority

• The Catholic Church teaches that apostolic succession gives authority to bishops, tracing leadership back to Peter (whom they see as the first pope).
• The Pope (Πάπας, “pappas” in Greek = “father”) is considered the supreme authority on earth for doctrine, discipline, and governance.
• The Magisterium (teaching authority) consists of the Pope and bishops, who are seen as successors of the apostles (Matthew 16:18-19).
• Sacerdotal priesthood (hierarchical, with deacons, priests, bishops, cardinals, and pope).

B. First Church (Acts & Early Christian Leadership)

• The early church had no single hierarchical structure. Leadership was based on plurality of elders (πρεσβύτεροι, “presbyteroi”) and overseers (ἐπίσκοποι, “episkopoi” = bishops).
• Authority came from the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:1-3) rather than an institutional hierarchy.
• Leadership was servant-based, not dominating (Matthew 23:8-12).
• Apostles (ἀπόστολοι, “apostoloi”) were sent out to plant churches, not to rule over congregations.
• Prophets (προφῆται, “prophētai”) gave words of edification (Ephesians 4:11).
• Teachers (διδάσκαλοι, “didaskaloi”) explained the Scriptures.

C. Pauline Model (New Testament Church Government)

• Paul’s model emphasized the fivefold ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12):
  1. Apostles – Sent to establish churches and doctrine.
  2. Prophets – Spoke revelation from God, confirmed by Scripture.
  3. Evangelists – Spread the Gospel.
  4. Pastors (ποιμένες, “poimenes”) – Shepherded the flock.
  5. Teachers – Instructed in doctrine.
• Paul never appointed a pope but recognized a council of elders (Acts 15).
• Plural leadership was common (Acts 14:23, Titus 1:5).

2. The Role of Peter and Papal Authority

A. Catholic View (Primacy of Peter & Papal Office)

• Catholics see Peter as the first pope based on Matthew 16:18-19 (“You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church”).
• The keys of the kingdom (κλεῖς, “kleis”) given to Peter are interpreted as supreme authority over the church.

B. First Church & Pauline View

• “Rock” in Greek: Πέτρος (Petros = small stone) vs. πέτρα (petra = large rock)
• Many scholars argue that Jesus, not Peter, is the “rock” (1 Corinthians 10:4).
• In Acts 15, James, not Peter, presides over the Jerusalem Council, showing shared authority.
• Paul openly rebukes Peter (Galatians 2:11-14), which contradicts the idea of Peter as infallible.

3. Apostolic Succession vs. Holy Spirit-Led Leadership

A. Catholic Teaching

• Bishops receive authority through laying on of hands in an unbroken succession from the apostles.

B. First Church & Pauline Model

• Authority was confirmed by the Holy Spirit, not institutional succession (Acts 13:1-3).
• Leadership was recognized based on calling and spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:28).
• No evidence of a single “successor” to Peter or Paul.

4. Sacraments & Rituals

A. Catholic Sacramental System

• Catholicism has seven sacraments:
  1. Baptism
  2. Eucharist (Communion)
  3. Confirmation
  4. Reconciliation (Confession)
  5. Anointing of the Sick
  6. Matrimony
  7. Holy Orders

B. First Church & Pauline Model

• The early church recognized only two ordinances:
  1. Baptism (βάπτισμα, “baptisma”) – Done by immersion as a public declaration of faith (Acts 2:38).
  2. Lord’s Supper (Κυριακὸν δεῖπνον, “Kyriakon deipnon”) – A simple meal in remembrance of Christ, not a transubstantiated ritual (Luke 22:19, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

5. The Role of Mary & the Saints

A. Catholic Teaching

• Mary (Μαριάμ, “Mariam”) is called “Mother of God” (Θεοτόκος, “Theotokos”).
• She is seen as a co-mediator and intercessor.
• Catholics pray to saints, believing they intercede before God.

B. First Church & Pauline Model

• Mary is honored but not worshiped.
• The only mediator is Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 4:14-16).
• Prayers were directed only to God (Matthew 6:9).
• No evidence of early Christians praying to saints.

6. Salvation: Faith vs. Works

A. Catholic Teaching

• Salvation involves faith + sacraments + good works (James 2:24).
• Purgatory (καθαρτήριον, “kathartērion”) is believed to cleanse souls before heaven.

B. First Church & Pauline Model

• Salvation is by grace through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9).
• Good works are a result of faith, not a requirement for salvation (Titus 3:5).
• Purgatory is not found in Scripture.

7. Church Tradition vs. Scripture

A. Catholic View

• Scripture + Church Tradition + Magisterium interpretation.
• The Bible was compiled by the Church and thus must be interpreted through it.

B. First Church & Pauline View

• Scripture is the highest authority (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
• Jesus rebuked religious leaders for elevating traditions over God’s word (Mark 7:6-9).
• The Bereans examined Scripture daily to test teachings (Acts 17:11).

Final Summary Table

Conclusion

• The Catholic Church developed a hierarchical structure over centuries, whereas the First Church and Pauline communities operated with shared, Spirit-led leadership.
• Catholicism integrates church tradition, while Paul and the early church emphasized Scripture alone.
• Key doctrines such as papal primacy, Marian devotion, purgatory, and sacramentalism are not found in early church practice or Paul’s teachings.
