"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.

I'm sorry nmh, b ut remarks like, If you'd read the Bible, you'd know that, seem almost to demand childish sneers and sarcasm. Greek (classical and Koine) and Hebrew. No Aramaic, though. Read the Bible daily. Got the umpty-ump volume Kittel Dictionary and, what's more, I use it.

IN shooting one of the safety rules is to be sure of your target and what's behind it. You totally missed me with the implication that I don't read the Bible. Go do some homework and come back when you know who you're telling unwitting and unintended (I trust) falsehoods about.

just wish it were true for those that pray TO him

I don't know of anybody who "prays" to the Pope while he's Pope. I do know, however, that the word "pray" is used in court documents about interactions between living people, so while you're accusing us of stuff, you might take the trouble to be specific and clear about your use of the word "pray".

As to kissing, what is your problem? It's a sign of respect. It's not one I'm especially fond of, but what the heck. It's good to get out of one's own culture every once in a while.

You say That's a startin response to my stating, as the church has stated for centuries, the the Pope is a sinner in need of Redemption, that he is NOT "impeccable". So I conclude that our saying something we've said for centuries is news to you. Again, be sure of your target before you fire, okay>

Well, it sounds like YOU have a problem. As I said, when you can make it clear to me that you understand what we teach about Papal infallibility, then we can spend some time on it.

Tell me, can you articulate the doctrine of Papal infallibility?

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.

Okay, I'll bite: how much time per day do you think I do spend in God's word, and how much time a day do you think I SHOULD spend in it?

Pss.118:8
[8] It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

And you know this how?

Let me see if I can say this so you will at least hear it. I'm not hoping for agreement: We do not trust the Pope as such. We trust God's promise to us. Second time I've said it, but it doesn't seem to reach your mind. But I deny that I trust the Pope, and you don't seem to be able to do anything but repeat yourself. I say I trust in God and you say I don;'t so I'm in trouble.

Whatever. You don't know or cannot say in a recognizable manner what I believe. How do you expect me to hear you when you keep talking about somebody else and not me?
