Subject: Why Papal rule all wrong? |
Bible Note: JVH0212 your jumping in too deep and missing what I'm saying. Your right no Baptist or AG or any other protestant denomination that I'm aware has ever claimed to speak infallibly. What I’m saying is the governed committee what ever it is wields nearly the same authority the Pope does. They the governing committee however it is constructed says this is what we believe the scriptures to say and therefore this denomination holds those beliefs. How is that different than the Pope saying this is what the scriptures say and we Catholics are going to hold this belief? I’m not comparing the Baptist convention or the AG general Assembly to the Pope. What I’m saying is however the decision is made it basically holds the same effect. If AG or Baptist or Methodist decide the scriptures say march to the right they march to the right. If at a later time the same group says the scriptures say march to the left they march to the left. Is that so much different than the Pope saying the scriptures say march to the right or left? Is all I’m saying. By the way you say there is no protestant denomination that has men sitting in palace deciding what is to be done or not. How about men that sit in a office building you and I combined couldn’t even pay the electric bill for let alone ever be allowed in. That have men and women so entrenched in a good old boy system they couldn’t and wouldn’t be removed from office until they die. Sitting there deciding the direction for the church and issuing there findings as we interpret scripture to say thus and such. Isn’t that pretty close to the Vatican? Please don’t read any thing into what I’m saying. I’m certainly not condoning the Papal government nor am I saying the Catholic church is right. Love you my brother Ed |
