"Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only bad and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Pope Benedict XVI, The Regensburg Lecture, Sept 12, 2006

That was before his change of heart..

but didn’t he backtrack and even apologize later? When they wiggled their head chopping swords at him?

ohh yea

[1000 silverlings]

no comment

[1000 silverlings]

yes, but the Pope has a holy hat

[RnMomof7]

What do you then call the state that in which the souls of the Patriarchs were held, the Bosom of Abraham, while awaiting Christ's opening gates of Heaven?

That is not a PLACE it is a position.. as if reclining on Abraham

Mat 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

The dead were dead and unconscciencious as Eccl. 9:10 says,

“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest “

Since Calvin is only providing his own interpretation it has no more merit than any one of his fellow cultist reformers.

Outside of some evangelical/fundamentalist cults, Calvin and his ilk have been relegated to the dustbins of history where his infamous legacy is continuously evidenced by the perpetual fractionizing processes. This is the historical curse that he has bequeathed his disillusioned followers.

Calvin has been marginalized and rightly so in modern times. since he did precious little in the furtherance of spreading the word of God but the boy did sow the seeds of hatred and corruption.

God bless

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Amen! All glory to God.

So you want us to believe that the Holy Spirit indwells and speaks to every Protestant with absolute clarity and fidelity but not to the Pope? Right......

Did I say that? Seems I only asked if the Pope believes the voice in his head is the Holy Spirit?

LOL! So Rome is at least partially responsible for the attacks on Russian Orthodox and the slaughter of the Armenian Christians at the Mohammedans? Funny, I thought that was the Mohammedans’ fault. I mean, there are Armenian martyrs that have beatified by the Catholic Church from that period for goodness sake!

[1000 silverlings]

I have no idea what occurs behind the scenes, but embracing a religion that slaughters Christians is what exactly?

[1000 silverlings]

by kissing the koran in public your pope either shows that he loves it,or identifies with it, or respects it, or wants to appease it, maybe so it wouldn’t cut his head off. what do you think?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Calvin has been marginalized

lol. Only in Rome.

Reformed churches are sprouting up all over the globe. China is being converted by the millions. In South America, the two fastest growing churches are Pentecostal and Reformed.

High school history books teach the fact that this country was founded on the Biblical principles Calvin instituted in Geneva -- a separation of church and state; a tri-part system of government with its built-in checks and balances to keep men honest; and a representative system of government where both church and state leaders are elected from among the congregation and the citizenry, respectively.

Meanwhile, Rome is bleeding membership, closing churches and seminaries everywhere. Four times as many RCs become Protestant as Protestants become RC.

As God wills.

CATHOLIC TRADITION FADING IN U.S.
Evangelicals now outnumber Catholics
(although Protestants have always outnumbered RCs in this country)

The former pope, not the current one, who, as has been pointed out already, was more concerned with dealing with communism and, in coalition with Reagan and Thatcher, was quite successful.

now you're making me think of a geico commercial. Man in tie "Is the pope infallible?"

Pope facing mirror like Mrs Washington

Does the voice in my head think this Versace makes my backside look maximus?" Voice in head: "Um.. a little... oh for peter's sake!"

[Dr. Eckleburg]

"Does the voice in my head think this Versace makes my backside look maximus?

ROTFLOL!!!

(I think all the mirrors in the Vatican are covered.)

[Pyro7480]

Who's that meeting with the Pope? Oh yes, it's the Russian Orthodox patriarch, Kirill, not long before he became the patriarch.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

and 1.5 million Armenian Christians

Exactly.

And 800,000 Protestant Tutsis who were massacred by Roman Catholic Hutus.

[Pyro7480]

Who's this guy? It's Bishop Ignatius Maloyan, an Armenian CATHOLIC martyred in 1915 at the hands of the Turks beatified by Pope John II in 2001.

You give the false impression that the Rwanda genocide was religiously motivated, when it wasn’t.
