Bible Question (short): Where is the edification of the pope? |
Question (full): Im deployed in Iraq right now and I thought of it as a chance to be in the wilderness. I have ran across many situations and learned from all and shared even more, but now a comrad who says he has been christian all his life and then speaks of Catholicism. I want to speak to him about his viewpoint and hopefully plant a seed but I think it would be important to know where does the Bible give Justification for THE Pope. I understand the 5 fold ministry(Ephesians 4:11), but no pope. In my bible NIV Life Application, the word pope isnt in the word. I want to tell him the the word provides all but how can I say that the only book he knows doesnt support the pope, well to my knowledge...does it? |
