Bible Note: Isn't the maine thrust of the bible Salvation. The class has talked a lot about "Loving Thy Neighbor" , "turning the other cheek", and "The forgiveness of sins." The teacher believes that Jesus was a passivist. That we never should have gone to war. And that most wars are preventable. She might not know exactly why Protestants broke away from Catholicims. She believes that part of the reason was so that we could read our own bibles instead of having someone else tell us what was in it. But a bigger question is Why is there a Pope at all. One question she did bring up was why Catholics have confession. Why can't they go directly to God and pray? Which in actuality is a good question. If I want to talk to my Mom, I don't go through my adult children. Outside of the fact that neither of my children live with me any more. They are out on their own. But when I want to speak to Mom and speak to Mom. I don't talk through people. I also know that everyone around me can fail me. But God never fails. He comes up with solutions and makes paths where there is none. |
