Wrong again. Your fallacy was known as such before Aristotle.

I'd hope the only Religious Leader that I cared to put that kind of faith in, is Jesus Christ. The Pope is claiming to be #2. I don't agree. But I don't see some New Catholic Holocaust stemming from this. Benedict/Ratzinger is not that kind of man. Now if Kenneth Ham got elected pope I'd worry a bit more.
What is wrong with this picture?
A is used before consonants, an before a vowel sound. A comes before words that begin with a u, but are pronounced as though they began with a y: a union; a useful gadget. An comes before a silent h: an heir; an honour. Some people still use an before h in words from French, where the h was silent: an hotel. This is rather old-fashioned. There is no reason to use an before an h which is sounded.So I guess it's "a hypothesis." But to my ear, it sounds a bit like "a apple." I'm just old-fashioned.
Source: a or an.
I'm trying to be as candid about Roman Catholicism's claims as I can. I'm not claiming faith in it. I'm an evangelical.
The Pope can be a nag towards evangelicals on what orthodoxy is, but he can't change their beliefs about it without their consent. Any more than, say, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" could change the Pope's beliefs without his consent.
Setting up the perpetual motion machine, my friend?
Yes, I appreciate that. Thanks.
"One Lord, one Faith, one Baptism" is not mere wishful thinking. When history runs its course the past, present, and future disparation between occupants of heavenly glory will be staggering, each one having a history of exchanging the truth for a lie and thus losing pure science, each one being reclaimed by the Creator who assumed human flesh for the purpose of bringing the crowning glory of His creation back to Himself.
Unity in the church is not a creation of the Pope, nor is it effected by the political machinations of this or that body of doctrine. From a human standpoint you may be right, however. There are many respects in which Southern Baptists and Roman Catholics agree. A good many from both denominations attend public schools, which schools are obligated to remain neutral where matters of faith and science intermingle.
Some telemarketers leave 000-000-0000 on my caller ID. I think they are trying to avoid the do-not-call lists.
Perhaps the frequency of use of the word lends itself to the de-hypostasis (grin) of the h in hypothesis. A physical or biological scientist speaking of his theory is going to be using that word a lot. So H's tend to get dropped as a waste of breath. An-'ypothesis, an-'ypothesis.
Intelligent Design: A hypothesis wherein given features of life v non-life that are otherwise inexplicable are explained by an intelligent cause, rather than by an undirected process such as natural selection.*
What say you Alamo-Girl? Shall we accept this as our definition?
* Please note that I've changed "not by an undirected process" to "rather than by an undirected process" because it's more precise. If there's any objection to this, then now's the time!
When Christ comes back, whoever's a Christian or ever lived as a Christian will come with him. Guaran-d***-tee ya that nobody in that number will say "I'm a Roman Catholic" "I'm a Baptist" "I'm a Methodist" anymore.
The unity comes from being in Christ, who is the head of the body. Being in Christ is the thing, and is no temple made with human hands, therefore it can never be a man-made structure, not even Solomon's temple.
Unity was never meant to be one massive organization. That is the lesson of the tower of Babel.
Party's over.
It never went away, it just suffered a name change. Our current Pope was the head of the Inquisition, before he got his present job.
There's a tension between the fallen aspirations of fallen man, which can't see beyond the borders of this world, and the born again aspirations of the regenerated man, which see into heaven.
Yes. If a church that I attended had such an office, I would be wondering why.
Or rather, the party should begin... shall I order Powerball Winner balloons because if I buy tickets forever I will win it?

You're a Catholic?
