Yeah, most anti-Biblical, "God's-Word-is-not-sufficient" catholic stuff makes me go "huh?"
Never understood how folks think God’s word isn’t sufficient enough and then to a sinner like the pope to look for salvation....!
Sola papa over God’s word...!
His assumption that doctrine is based on just a few scriptures to fit what the protestant church wants is just flat out with out support. The doctrine’s of the church have been carefully thought out and the scriptures meticulously studied by men of faith as they were lead by the Holy Spirit and the Bible. The doctrines that have been established are based solidly on scripture and have stood the test of time and attack.
To embrace a system of religion that clearly goes against Gods commandments, minimizes the work that Jesus did on the cross, that elevates a human as a co-redeemer, and says that what Jesus accomplished by his death and resurrection was not enough to pay for your sins, that you must suffer in “purgatory for awhile to finish paying for your sins” is nothing less than mans idea of what is needed to have our sins forgiven and be acceptable to God as perfect. The gate is wide, and the road is easy that leads to death, and many there are that find it.
The only way to be forgiven of all your sins is only through the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ alone. Nothing else will do. The bible makes this perfectly clear to anyone that reads it.
You belive in Scripture, correct?
Then why don't you believe this?
John 21: (We'll be using the KJV today to keep things on even footing): "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."
The Bible Itself declares that it doesn't contain everything.
