Subject: "Once Saved Always Saved" |
Bible Note: Hiya, There - Now that I know it's ok to respond... My best interpretation to your points would be Pre-Vatican II and Post-Vatican II. I must agree with you most emphatically that our (Catholic) clergy got entirely carried away with Matthew 16:19. Vatican II was very much their acknowledging that. I will also give you my view of priest and church individually. Not all Catholic churches are the same. I left the church I grew up in because they had some very extreme views. 30 years down the road, it still seems one might expect a witch to be burned in the parking lot. Know what I mean? The church I'm at now is phenomenally different. Both traditional and modern. In the best possible way. Same with priests. Not all the same. Some have no business being clergy! But I'm certain you'll find that anywhere. I have a terrible time even looking at Benny "money bags" Hinn yet some very intelligent people think he's the cat's meow. Keep up the good work. You guys here are totally preparing me for some Theological Olympics! I love it! Big Hug! Lisa |
