1 | What separates Evangelicals, Catholics? | Rom 3:28 | Brian.g | 10066 | ||
Each of us has made decisions, which, to an outsider may look as though we made a mistake in judgement. When others fully understand the circumstances by which our decisions were made, the decisions may seem more justifiable. We cannot judge the quality of the decisions made over the past 2,000 years. The Church was living and surviving in a different world than it lives in today. At times, the Church was fighting many battles and different battles, that can't even be imagined today. We must have enough faith in God that God was keeping an eye on things and if He felt things were getting to far out of hand, that He would step in - as He has done in the past. Jesus did warn that the victories of the Pope and the Church would be victories for God and the losses suffered by the Church would also be the losses of heaven. 19 ""I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.'' I think Jesus knew what he was doing when made Peter the first in the line of Popes. |
