Doesn't the Bible say to call none Holy except God?
To: smoking camels
Oh please, here we go again with the "idol worship." Why not read up about the Catholic Church in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and then come back and we'll talk.

Matthew 12:32 "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the {world} to come."I would like to point out that radical Islamists rail against the Christian God all the time.
I don't know why the Pope said what he did in public...perhaps to show the Muslims that Crusades really ARE over...or perhaps his mind is getting a little fuzzy. I didn't find them appropriate because they were spoken in public. However, that is just my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong and a good thing or two might happen as result of this.

Ohh, he's stumped and now turns to name calling...

Have read it several times. But no matter what you call it, it is still having graven images in your place of worship that you use as symbols of the real entity. The Bible clearly calls that idolatry.
To: smoking camels
I don't believe you read it even once. I don't have discussions with people I don't believe.

Am not stumped. Show me a factual lineage to the Pentecost of your organization.
To: sinkspur
Blue Lancer admitted to having his own value system, having chucked the Christian value system aside. He revealed the state of his own soul.Let me get this straight; Blue Lancer revealed the state of his soul to you by his postings on an internet forum, and you feel confident passing judgement on the state of his soul, right?
Nineteen terrorists, who were Muslims, not Christians, ram airplanes into buildings, and they should be shown mercy and forgiveness, right?
Is this really what you are saying? I know you are obligated to parrot the statements of your Pope, being a good Catholic, but is this really what YOU believe? If so, I am left speechless!
To: Pern
I don't think the Pope penned this from his own hands.
To: It's me
Sure, and I don't believe you are a catholic either.
I have read the Koran and the Book of Mormon too.
That's OK. I refuse to have conversations with arrogant jerks so maybe we better not talk. Since you are an arrogant jerk and since you don't believe me.
To: berned
I quoted one that was clear as day, from 2 Maccabees. It's on this thread.
To: Sabertooth
May God deal with the attackers of 9/11, and all men of evil, with His infinite wisdom and justice.And if they get there in greater numbers than God expected, I'm sure He'll be able to handle it......
To: verity
Just go ahead and say the Our Father. When you get to the part about forgiveness, it is conditional ... as you forgive you want God to forgive you. So forgive 10% and you are asking God to forgive you 10%.
Scripture also says "judgement is mine says the Lord".
To: Pern
As a Jew, I have to dissent from the Holy Father's remarks. Only the dead have the right to forgive those who sinned against them. Murder is the one sin that can never be undone and we don't have a right to forgive on behalf of the victims. And no God doesn't either. Those who do evil, Your Holiness, deserve the everlasting fires of Hell, not God's mercy. Please reserve God's mercy for the innocents who were slaughtered that day and for the braves heroes of 911 dead and living who were by their side. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS HIS PEOPLE FOR SHOWING THEIR COURAGE THIS PATRIOT DAY THEN AND EVER SINCE. AMEN.
To: Conservative til I die
"Ummm...Protestants don't have Maccabees, Wisdom and a few others. Luther took them out, so they're not going to find some of the Catholic teachings in their bibles.
Their loss."Yep...and the loss is becoming painfully obvious on this thread. The Christian hating terrorists are probably rolling all over themselves, LAUGHING at CHRISTIAN DISSING CHRISTIAN HERE.
To: Pern
Would it be okay to ask God that if, in His infinite wisdom He has sent the "authors of this horrible terror attack" to Hell, that He release them from it one day before the End of Eternity? That's asking for mercy because one day in Hell is infinitely horrible.
To: BlessedBeGod
"Absolutely!"Whew!! That is good to know! :- )
To: smoking camels
then shut up. And what god do you speak for?
To: sinkspur
You're not God. All the rest of us sinners are grateful for that. The Pope is speaking as Christ would have. If Judas asked for forgiveness, he would have been forgiven. Judgement of another man's soul is above your pay grade.Amen
To: berned
Catholics are Christians, aren't they? They do believe the bible, don't they? The ones I know do. Show me where the bible is everything that is to be said about Christianity?
He did so many things that all the books in the world couldn't contain them. -- Paraphrase.
