The random Scripture generator strikes!

You DO know that we think the Pope is a sinner, don't you? The difference is that we trust in God's promises and celebrate the Love which prompted Him to make them. And you all look on and have no clue what we are doing.

When you say something that I recognize as something I believe, then I'll answer it. But as long as you continue to say things about us which we don't believe and revel in your lack of knowledge ..., well it's the Lord's day and I am feeding my animals and taking a nap. It's been fun, but too frivolous.

"The random Scripture generator strikes!"

Childish name calling doesn't change the fact that Catholicism is an imitation of Christianity.

"You DO know that we think the Pope is a sinner, don't you? The difference is that we trust in God's promises and celebrate the Love which prompted Him to make them. And you all look on and have no clue what we are doing."

That's a start ... just wish it were true for those that pray TO him, kiss HIM and take the word of another sinner instead of what the Bible states as truth. You see, the "truth" your leader speaks as "truth" doesn't totally jive with what God clearly states in the Bible. If you'd read the Bible, you'd know that.

"When you say something that I recognize as something I believe, then I'll answer it. But as long as you continue to say things about us which we don't believe and revel in your lack of knowledge ..., well it's the Lord's day and I am feeding my animals and taking a nap. It's been fun, but too frivolous."

The major problem as I and other Christians see it, is you are NOT familiar with Biblical truth. You take the words of another sinner as truth.

It is my knowledge of the Bible that allows me to discern imitations of Christianity and Catholicism is one of them.

Smartalec remarks and levity towards truth doesn't change my concern for you ... and your problematic beliefs ... . Instead of "well it's the Lord's day and I am feeding my animals and taking a nap. It's been fun, but too frivolous." this, you should be reading God's Word. Then you too would flee false teachings. It is unwise to be spiritually lazy and do this:

Pss.118:8

[8] It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

You do the opposite, by CHOICE to your spiritual and perhaps eternal demise.

More Scripture to ignore ...

Catholicism and Scripture:
The Roman Catholic Church Compared to the Bible

Here's one example:

In addition to the Bible, Catholicism also follows tradition and the decrees of the Pope and church councils as religious authority.
"Did God intend that the Bible alone should be the guide to salvation? No, because certain things in the Bible can be misunderstood, and because the Bible does not have everything God taught" - Catechism, p. 51.

"Do we get from the Bible alone all our knowledge and certainty about what God has told us? No, there is also Sacred Tradition … What is tradition? The Word of God handed on to us by the Apostles in their preaching and by their successors in the church to the present day … Do you have to believe in tradition? Yes … we are obliged to accept all the truths contained in the Bible and Tradition…" - Catechism, pp. 9,10.

"Council … assemblies of the rulers of the Church legally convoked, for the discussion and decision of ecclesiastical affairs … The decrees of general councils have no binding authority till confirmed by the Pope … The infallibility of general councils so confirmed follows from that of the Church…" - Dictionary, pp. 227-230.

"Does Jesus require us to follow the Pope in matters of religion? Yes, because obedience and loyalty to the Pope are among the chief requirements of Our Lord's plan for unity … Can the Pope make an error when teaching religion? Not when he is speaking solemnly (ex cathedra) as head of the church. Then he has that special protection from error which God gives as a spiritual safeguard for all the members of the church" - Catechism, p. 56.

But the Bible teaches:
1. The original apostles received all the truth we need to guide us to eternal life, and they wrote this down in the Scriptures (John 16:13; 2 Pet. 1:3; Acts 20:20,27; Matt. 28:20; I Cor. 14:37; 2 Tim. 3:16,17).

2. The teachings of these inspired writers can be understood by the common people. We do not need official interpreters to understand the word, but we should use the word to check out the teachers! (Mark 7:14; 2 Tim. 3:16,17; John 20:30,31; Acts 17:11; Psa. 119:105)

3. We displease God when we follow tradition or church laws or any human standard as the source of authority for the church (Matt. 15:1-14; Col. 2:8; Gal. 1:6-9; Prov. 14:12; 2 John 9-11; Jer. 10:23).
