He was really? Well look at it this way, you should be glad the Pope is causing confusion that way your hope that the Catholic Church will collapse might come true.
You Protestant fundies have been saying every Pope since the 16th century is the anti-Christ. There is no one anti-Christ save Lucifer, the anti-Christ is anyone who does the work of Satan or man glorifying himself and not God, distorting the Creator/creature relationship.
So I don’t accept millenariasm of any kind As early as Saint Polycarp of Smyrma, a disciple of Saint John, anyone who rejects Christ and the Cross is of the devil and is an anti-Christ. Saint Irenaeus in 189 warned 2nd century orthodox Christians to be wary of any man who says he knows who the anti-Christ is because that man will be easily lead astray.
According to prophetic passages from the OT, many Church Fathers think the Anti-Christ will be a political Jewish leader whose descendants were from the tribe of Dan.
As Cardinal Newman noted in dealing with the confession Protestants anti-Papal and anti-Christ charges against it. If one who is “Pope” turns out to be “The Anti-Christ, then that in fact supports the claim of the Divinely ordained role of the Popes from Peter down to the the day because that would mean the Anti-Christ overthrew the Bishop of Rome since the anti-Christ simulates Christ. The Bishop of Rome carries on the role of Saint Peter, thus all the Popes, who despite sin, held the Apostolic faith, actually supports the claims of the Catholic Church. The Devil knows his true enemy and the one he is constantly attacking ain’t the local backwoods protestant church in Green Acres USA.
Hey pope Frankie - now that Natacha Jaitt is dead, under very curious circumstances, are you and all of your pedo pals feeling less exposed???? Don’t count on it.
And yet it was Simon Peter -- the most flawed one of them all, who would later deny Christ three times on the day of His Passion and death -- who Christ selected as "the Rock upon which I will build My Church."
Just something to think about ...
You pin the entire basis of which the catholic church was formed on one sentence.
My faith is based on EVERY SENTENCE Jesus spoke.
I stand on that truth, which is the rock.
You stand on sinking sand.
“Excerpted why?”
To keep you busy! :)
I seem to recall Jesus using the same tactic.
I never thought I would live to see the day when the question; “Is the Pope Catholic?”, would no longer be rhetorical.
So Christianity had it wrong for 1500 years — until Martin Luther came along?
Muslims are not people they are Demons. I learned that on
09 / 11 / 2001 and will Never Forget. God Bless America.
Nope, just catholics did. The rest of us who stand on Jesus' truth had it right from the beginning.
The difference between you and I very simply put is: I stand on Jesus' truth. You stand on Peter, a flawed man.
Peter 3:1 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
LOL
As if ANYONE has to ask.
I guess he'd chastise Jesus as well for being so intolerant as to say........
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Pope is deep state .?
The Bible tells us to go out and preach the gospel, to bring people to Christ, this man doesn’t even follow the Bible.
Absolutely. That warning is true of all evangelistic endeavors. Nagging behavior will never get you anywhere and is probably counter-productive.
I actually agree with much of what you say. I wish for all people to be saved but we know this current pope is anti-Christ. Im not sayin THE anti-Christ because I do not know.
