LOL. I can see why the catholic church is in such disarray.

No problem, you weren’t harsh, I was just making a comment. I don’t fear the judgement of any man. Matt 10:28 “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

I don’t need another church. I am a member of the Lord’s Church. The one that Christ established on the day of Pentecost, not some church that began hundreds of yrs. later. My Church has one head and that is Christ, not some sinful pope. We are guided by God and His word, not the word of some sinful man sitting in Rome. We neither bow down to nor look up to any sinful man as the leader of our Church. That is idol worshiping. There is only ONE GOD and ONE FATHER and he is in heaven, not Rome. I worship nor honor NO sinful man. The catholic church can’t say that. You folks adore and treat the pope, a sinful man, as if he is God himself. You laugh at, mock and despise God’s word but the the words of the pope you treat as infallible. I don’t hate you, I feel sorry for you and all the sheeple that follow that sinful, vile man in Rome.

Dang, swampfox101 you be back like the flu that comes around each year.

Swampfox101, you are obligated by Jesus Christ to love everyone. The Commandment of Jesus Christ is to ‘Love one another as I have loved you.’ + ‘Love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself.’

Your words preach hatred for the Pope & the Catholic Church. The true message of your ‘religion’ comes forth from your heart. It doesn’t matter the words you use. You still persist in being a deceitful man with lying-lips.

You can say somewhere in a post that you ‘don’t hate’ but the fact that you come on to a Catholic thread & state falsehoods about the Catholic Church, misquote people & inappropriately use scripture. = proof of true hatred found in your heart. Swampfox repent your sins.

Hatred for other people should not be found in your heart. Swampfox, you come to a Catholic thread to lie + hate & for no other reason. It’s time to throw yourself on the Mercy of God & ask God to have Mercy on your soul.

There is a reason the Catholic Church has 1.2 billion people officially baptized into it. & There are some folks just sitting in an ‘armchair church’ with delusions of grandeur.

Repent all sins swampfox & ask Jesus Christ to transform your life.

**I am a member of the Lord’s Church. The one that Christ established on the day of Pentecost, **

I didn’t know you were Catholic! Pentecost is the birthday of the Catholic Church. The apostles were the first Bishops.

Or did you miss the line in Scripture about Christ breathing on them and imparting the Holy Spirit to them?

Do read the article before making such bounding errors. Your post is utterly false in this part You folks adore and treat the pope, a sinful man, as if he is God himself. You laugh at, mock and despise God’s word but the the words of the pope you treat as infallible. -- The Pope is a sinful man, and if you did read the aticle you'd see that the word of the Pope are not all infallible. The Pope is a fallible, sinful man just as is you or me, yet God has prevented the many sinful men who have followed Peter's position as leader, from leading the flock astray. That is why now the Church is the bastion of Christianity, just as it was when there were persecutions by the Romans, just as when in 450 it seemed that Christianity would end under barbarian and Arian Germanic invaders. Just as in the 700s it seemed that Christianity would end under the Moslem invaders and the same in the 1600s. Just as it seemed in the 1920s that Christianity would end under the Bolsheviks

Each time, The Church has survived and mostly inspite of itself, because God protects and God inaugurated the Church, his bride Eph 5: 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior

As Christ said in MAtt 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. and as +Paul reminds us Rom 12:5 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. handed down one from the other 2 tim 2:2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.

For us God's Word, i.e. Jesus Christ is the One High Priest who we follow that is why we believe in what He taught -- and He taught that we must repent, believe, eat of His body and endure to the end.

You just don’t think God word is infallible.

God's Word i.e. Jesus Christ is infallible, the written word that is scripture is inerrant. the Pope as a person is Fallible, but only on occasion (twice in the past 200 years) has God's spirit directed or even controlled the person sitting in Peter's chair to state something that the Spirit deems infallible.
