1 | should a catholic marraige be sanctified | Bible general Archive 2 | EdB | 131691 | ||
Country Girl I'm in no way defending Catholicism nor does it need it. I never understood the Pope speaking infallibly and what I was taught in the Protestant church made it seem totally wrong. However after I read what it really means and not what many thinks it means I understood it better. I still have an issue to some degree with the concept, the Pope has done it so infrequently that it is almost a none issue. However I see no real difference in this than if the head of a denomination says thus and such. Everyone in the denomination falls in line with the new doctrine or they seek another denomination. While we don’t claim infallibility we still accept it as gospel. I guess the real issue is should we be submitted to the leadership over us or not. Most everyone will say if we agree yes and if we disagree with the leadership then no. My question then is that really being submitted to leadership or are we actually making ourselves leaders? EdB |

I'll say just this one last statement and then hush as I really don't want to cause Emmanus or anyone else any more grief. The one single item that should be put on the pedestal that is claimed by the Pope is the Bible, God's Word. As long as the Pope DOES NOT make an open and public confession, repenting for his mistake then all Catholics everywhere will continue to be deceived. Again, ONLY the Bible (no particular version) can be placed on that pedestal commanding mankind everywhere to repent. Please notice, I'm NOT advocating worship and our bowing to the hard copy, written Bible. Absolutely not, only the Godhead get that kind of worship. But I AM saying that ONLY God's Word can be used to find Jesus and thus find God and eventually become a christian. Only the Bible (really only the NT for this dispensation) dictates with authority, activities, methods of worship and all other actions involving the Lord's church here on earth. Everything else has to wait until the ending of time and the universe on Judgment Day. I really need to hush now and get off my soapbox but Blessings to us all, especially Emmanus as he continues to study and pray on this matter. Our prayers are with you, my friend, Emmanus. Country Girl PS: This is one time, I'm thankful to see the "thread restriction" as I'd really only want the most mature christians to see this post. Blessings to our wise Lockman Foundation. |

As I alluded to in my earlier posts, the biggest thing that the Pope, indeed the whole Papacy system needs to repent for is their sin of deceiving the whole world. Don't you see, this issue is somewhat closely related to the very core foundation upon which this Forum was founded. Along with acknowledging the Absolute Supremecy of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and Holy Ghost is that of the Bible, God's Holy Word. The Bible (all of what It represents) not the actual hard copy with all of man's imperfections and translations is Absolutely Holy as it really is the acutal Words of God Himself. ONLY the Bible gets that kind of respect. No christian here on earth, no elder, deacon, nothing else and no one else on earth, nothing physical should command that kind of honor and should be put on that pedestal. For anyone to claim to receive a special "dose" of revelation about God's business, organization of or running the church's affairs in any way should conflict with His Guidance in our Bible. There's absolutely NOTHING in the Bible to suggest that Peter passed on this kind of authority from himself to anyone. IF he had, it would have been very clearly described and specifically detailed as this is an incredibly important issue. For any human being to take guidance from another human but to consider it equal to God's Word is ludicrous. When an objective study is made of God's Word and the history surrounding this controversy, it becomes astondingly clear this whole thing was man's doing. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the Catholics didn't get around to actually declaring with a public proclamation about this infallibility of the Pope until 1870 AND this proclamation has NEVER been repealed nor has there ever been a public apology. AND this controversy had been discussed and hotly debated by the Catholics for centuries...even they could not agree on the exact wording for this proclamation. So, although I feel tremendous sorrow for Emmanus and his fellow Catholics, I cannot allow the Forum participants to misunderstand and buy into this continued deception without saying something about it. I have said and I will continue praying for Emmanus, but again when faced with a choice between the words of man or the Words of God, we must make our choice very clear. I hope this helps you understand and Blessings to you. Country Girl |
