>>Don’t hate or worship the Pope.
OK *inhale* one more time. Are you here to test my patience? The Lord was never one to suffer fools (John 2:12-25).
No one WORSHIPS the Pope. He is VENERATED as Jesus’ direct representative to His Church.
>>Never seen the word Pope in any Bible.<<
So which ORIGINAL language did you use for your exhaustive study? Most scholars go with Aramaic but for a good one-off Greek will do. Latin is more flowery but a few centuries from the original. But I’ll accept that as an answer. So which was it: Aramaic, Greek or Latin?
That notwithstanding, did you READ the last post where I gave you exact Biblical references that indeed “mention” the Pope. Peter is not only “mentioned” he is CALLED OUT as the first Pope. Again, this is a translation thing so for this one you can use your Latin to find the MANY references to “Pope” in the Bible.
>>Jesus, YES<<
And, it follows you therefore attend the church Jesus Himself founded (RCC for those of you following at home).
Next time you pray, Pray to Jesus.<<
Where in the Bible — you may now switch back to English and even use that horribly mangled, Oh So British, King James version (but you can post your answer in any of the original tongues of which I referenced) — does it say to pray TO JESUS?? If He was here He would kick your sorry butt up and down the sidewalk! We pray to GOD! Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity! We are to pray to Him that way (Mat 6:9, John 14:14, John 15:2, et seq) He is One as and with The Word (John 1:1) When reading in Greek, pay special attention to the Logos in this one!
If you are going to use the Bible as a source, do the following:
1) Read the Bible in the original languages (or those of the first Quincentennial).
2) Be accurate and cite sources properly.
3) LIVE with the implications of your sources.
Your entire post (and all that preceded it) are shown to be spiritually bankrupt and factually incorrect.
Pray to God tonight to give you both grace and enlightenment.
And Thank Him for exposing your foolishness to a friendly crowd instead of those would cast stones (John 8:7).
When you pray to Jesus you are praying to the FATHER, SON,& HOLY GHOST.
All 3 in 1.
Sarah Palin got saved in a Assembly of GOD Church.
They worship Jesus there.
When Billy Graham dies, Jesus name will be lifted up 100s of times.
After hour of hearing of the new Pope, Never heard the Name of Jesus.
Big religion reminds me of Obama’s Government, out of touch with true religion.
