Subject: should a catholic marraige be sanctified |
Bible Note: 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with a public proclamation about this infallibility of the Pope until 1870 AND this proclamation has NEVER been repealed nor has there ever been a public apology.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 |
