In Christ Alone lyrics
Songwriters: Getty, Julian Keith; Townend, Stuart Richard;
In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless Babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save
?Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live, I live
There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory Sin?s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ
Heretical teaching masquerading as Catholicism.
The Church is infallible in its teaching on faith and morals. It is not infallible in its dealings with the political world. There is no contradiction.
I don’t expect decency from the “doctor”, but thanks for noticing.
Not only is that a remark that breaks the rules by "making it personal," but it is a ludicrous statement given your stated desire to return to the debauchery of the Inquisition.
Where does the RCC catechism say the Roman Catholic church is fallible anywhere?
All it says over and over is that the RCC is infallible.
Bottom line, the RCC is fallible, corrupt and leads men toward the darkness of idolatry and superstition. (I’m not sure if that’s in the RCC catechism. If not, it should be.)
The issue was about torturing people by the catholic leadership, (Inquisition), annalex....so then are you supporting that in order to get a confession of heresay? Because that is exactly what the church did to many innocent people. You know the Inquisition was brutal to those in and outside the church...and you know fully well who ordered these...the leadership of the church while they held hands with Romes Political Machine. The bribes and payoffs were plentiful for all in power...and this still happens in the catholic church today.
By transforming the individual, not by becoming a political power and doing it by force.
Really? Where in the gospels did Jesus teach or command that?
They couldn't have just asked?
Abortion is a MORAL issue. It should never have become political. It's only been made political by the pro-abortionists.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Roman Catholicism teaches that the faithful have a "supernatural appreciation of the faith." Called the sensus fidelium, the consensus of faith, it is an "instinctive sensitivity and discrimination which the members of the Church possess in matters of faith." What the faithful hold in common to be the true Catholic faith, they (the faithful) are infallible and "cannot err in matters of belief".-Second Vatican Council, "Dogmatic Constitution on the Church," no. 12.
In other words, the ''FAITHFUL' are INFALLIBLY able to RECOGNIZE TRUTH!
You show no understanding of any ability to determine that. The only possibility is if you apply the same principle to RF rules that you do to Scripture; YOPIFR (Your Own Personal Interpretation of Forum Rules, Sola Dufus if you will.
Now put down the fake badge and phony JD, you are making a fool out of yourself. No one is looking to you for advice or forum rule enforcement.
SAME OLD SOP, seems like.
The Church serves as an important instrument to focus and amplify the voices of its individual members and has every bit as much right to do so as any labor union, PAC, corporation or non-profit.
A nation's political life, like Christianity itself, is meant for everyone, and everyone has a duty to contribute to it, even Catholics.
Democratic pluralism does not mean that Catholics, individually or collectively, should be quiet in public about serious moral issues because of some misguided sense of good manners. A healthy democracy requires vigorous moral debate to survive. Real pluralism demands that people of strong beliefs will advance their convictions in the public square -- peacefully, legally and respectfully, but energetically and without embarrassment. Anything less is bad citizenship and a form of theft from the public conversation.
This would be a good analogy except for one important difference: The Vatican is ITS OWN INDEPENDENT STATE. The world's smallest SOVEREIGN NATION. With its own GOVERNMENT, FLAG, POSTAL SYSTEM, COINS, RADIO STATION, and DIPLOMATIC CORPS. It has POLITICAL POWER. Not just religious. Countries have pacts and treaties with ROME. Church and State are ONE.
Not QUITE the same.
Of course it’s ‘the other guy’s fault Syndrome.’
Which, being the cherished RELIGIOUS RITUAL it has become, is enshrined in the
23rd Station of the Stations of the White Hanky:
23. Icon of the gold pointy finger signifying it’s ALWAYS the Proddy’s fault regardless of the facts.
Goodness. I think you really believe that!
Shocking.
Many believe it’s headed this way
as the AntiChrist uses Islam to erase all other religions then erases Islam insisting that the one world religion worship him alone.
