>>>>>As to needlessly and/or cruelly bashing the Pope, find one post here where I've done that, or apologize.

The clear thrust of your post 615 is that the Pope is in Hell. I do not see what good posthumous attacks such as these do. But knowing that you are eager to make them shows me all I need to know about your brand of Christianity.

>>>>>>>>No Christian is in that kind of need, as long as Colossians 2:9-10 is true, as long as John 19:31 is true, as long as Hebrews 10 is true -- which is to say, forever. I urge you to come to Christ;

I was claimed by Christ many years ago when I was baptized, and I have been receiving Him in the Most Blessed Sacrament on a regular basis since I was in the second grade. Of course, since you apparently believe that Catholics aren't "Christians," none of this matters to you. But I am quite happy to be a member of the Church founded by Christ and to be in communion with His Vicar on earth, the successor to St. Peter.

What you need to know is that what you describe is indeed a religion, but it is antithetical to what the Bible teaches. It is not Christianity, IF the Bible defines Christianity. You hope in chimeras which have yet to save anyone, whereas God's Word would direct you to Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Colossians 2:1-10), who saves all who trust in Him -- not in manmade mythologies.

Reject Christ and His Word if you choose; but you mustn't reproach Christians for, well, practicing Christianity.

Or if you do, you mustn't expect to be heeded.

Dan

Maybe he feels this urgency:

James 5

19. My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, 20. remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
