Grow up.
Francis may be right.
If you’ve never read God’s Word He may indeed seem to be a god of surprises.
Stop pinging me to threads.
Although it took over 1700 years before you could own one without being burned at the stake.
I did. I don't comprehend catholic legalize too well though. Can ya sum it up simply? Thx
I believe in that context, he was referring to them as the fathers of their own earthly children, not as HIS father.
Why not ?
Is there nothing to be dogmatic about ?
Doesn't ex cathedra grant the pope the power of "thus saith the Lord" in matters important to God ... like the abomination of homosexuality ?
Paul wrote about it in Galatians and John finished in Revelation 2:18-29
You’ll stop wondering at your last judgement. Don’t worry.
“Our God is a God of no surprises. Being perfect, he is unchangeable. Being unchangeable, He can never have anything new in Him.”Mundabor
His essential character will never change, his love, fairness, justice and willingness to show mercy will never change. God’s moral statutes that he laid down for man will never change. Yet God’s ways are higher than man’s ways and if he decides to show man something of his essential character that he has never revealed before...does that mean he has “changed”?
The Jews never accepted Christ in part (’he was a stumbling block to the Jews and to the Greeks, foolishness’) because their concept of an “unchanging God” did not fit with a God in Flesh who came to redeem all men by dying on the cross, (not just for the Jews), and to establish a heavenly Kingdom...not an Earthly one free of the Gentile subjugation of the Hebrew peoples!
God is unchanging, but humanity’s concept of God’s full “unchanging” personality is frightfully limited.
,,,,Our God is a God of no surprises. Being perfect, he is unchangeable. Being unchangeable, He can never have anything new in Him,,,,,
And what does he base this on?
The Bible.
Well it is called a "monstrance."
I find it curious that some Roman Catholics are so vociferously against everything he says but will condemn "Protestants" for not being in submission to the Pope of Rome and head shepherd of ALL Christendom. It's no surprise that the Reformation went into full swing around the same time of some of the worst Popes in Roman Catholicism's history.
God would not allow the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ to be stifled....hence the Reformation. (my personal belief)
Can’t stand on principle.
Can’t say homosexuality is wrong.
Too much money to be made.
After all it is the Catholic and Jewish way.
So many stone throwers who think that their own sins do not count if someone has a sin they deem to be worse than theirs. Eye, meet log....
I find it ironic that so many lose track of the fact that all sin is pretty much equal in the price that must be paid for it (except for blasphemy of the Holy Spirit). Jesus' Blood washed away the taint of even homosexual sins in God's eyes or it washed away nothing. Go through a whole day without the sinful nature coming out and then rant and rave about the sins of others.
You’ll have to blame Jesus for that.
Another Catholic basher. Duly noted.
