No. But I do thank God that I’m not like you.

[xone]

You can’t be like me, like the young ruler you have kept the commandments from birth. You are certainly nothing like the publican.

[redleghunter]

The purple mafia could not stand Benedict and feared him. So they arranged the vote for Francis.

[ebb tide]

You’ve been saying that for two years, but you keep extending your deadline.

[redleghunter]

>>Look for Pope Francis to step down by the end of next year.<<

What leads you to believe this? Just curious.

[redleghunter]

Moses is dead; but I still obey the Ten Commandments. How about you?

What commandments did Pope Pius X give to not obey succeeding pontiffs? Using your Moses example, that would put your Catholic offshoot in the sandals of the Samaritans who only recognized the Torah.

Deo gratias!

[ebb tide]

What Commandment is the current pope disobeying?

I’ll give you a hint. It comes after the Fifth but before the Seventh.

[ebb tide]

Pope Saint Pius X issued no new commandments. He obeyed the Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses.

Bergoglio does not.

Next question?

A clue, told those who attended WYD in Poland at the end of the closing mass when Panama was the next nation to host in 2019 that he will not be there. That is enough to back what I predict will happen.

“The writer believes Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans, Baptists, Episcopalians, Church of Christ, Disciples of Christ, the myriad of Evangelical and Protestant offshoots are all lost and going to hell?” Yes. And so do I. There are a million reasons, well, two million, supporting the conclusion that non-Catholics have a fragile connection to heaven. Would you like one, one hundred or one thousand reasons?

Sure, lets hear some. Including why we need to submit to popes, while your interpretation of Catholic teaching such as generally affirms baptized Prots as members of the body of Christ is correct over that of V2 and popes since.

Of course, neither V2 Rome or its past can be the NT church. Which church manifestly did not teach perpetual ensured magisterial infallibility, this being unseen and unnecessary in the life of the church, nor did it have a separate class of believers distinctively called "saints" or distinctively titled "priests," offering up "real" flesh and blood as a sacrifice for sin, which is to be literally consumed in order to obtain spiritual life.

Nor is it otherwise Scripturally manifest in the life of the church as being the sacrament around which all else revolves, and the "source and summit of the Christian faith," "in which our redemption is accomplished."

Nor is the NT church manifest as looking to Peter as the first of a line of exalted infallible popes reigning over the church from Rome (which even Catholic scholarship provides testimony against), and praying to created beings in Heaven, and being formally justified by ones own sanctification/holiness, and thus enduring postmortem purifying torments in order to become good enough to enter Heaven, and saying rote prayers to obtain early release from it, and requiring clerical celibacy as the norm, among other things.

No wonder Catholics rely on amorphous "oral tradition," for under the premise of magisterial infallibility all sorts of fables can be chanelled into binding doctrine, even claiming to "remember" an extraScriptural event which lacks even early historical testimony. , and was opposed by RC scholars themselves the world over as being apostolic tradition.

[daniel1212]

“And now the head of Christ’s Catholic Church on earth, no less, is telling me that those Catholics who by personal conversation and written argument helped persuade me to abandon my Protestant heresies and embrace the fullness of revealed truth were thereby committing grave sin?”

Who knows what real heresies he rejected, but we know he accepted multitude novelties and heresies.

Thank you. I think there are some FRoman Catholics who remain convinced that it is ONLY through Catholicism's sacraments and adherence to their doctrines that anyone has hope of salvation. I happen to disagree completely with that because I know that when I was seeking the truth of Christianity it was plainly revealed to me through God's word that what they offered was NOT it. I remember as a little kid sitting in religion classes and preparation for Confirmation that something was not quite right. I couldn't put my finger on why I felt that way but I now know it was the Lord the whole time leading me to Him. That's why when I read in John 10:27-30 that Christ knows His own and they know Him and he gives to them eternal life and they shall NEVER perish, that light went on in my heart and I knew I was hearing the truth. I didn't need any priest to interpret it for me, God was speaking to me. From that point on I realized I couldn't remain a Catholic.

The few here who assert they believe it is ONLY through the Catholic church that one can be saved HAVE TO ignore the truth of the gospel - that it is through faith in Jesus Christ, not in a church, that we are redeemed. Knowing Christ and being partakers of His grace and mercy is what's important, NOT what denomination I happen to identify with. Those who continue to insist "their" church is the only true church and we MUST BE members to be saved are not only full of pride they reject the true gospel of Jesus Christ who gives us eternal life through faith in Him and NO ONE can pluck us from His hands.

[MamaB]

Baloney. The Bible does not say anywhere that one has to belong to a certain church to go to heaven. Read John 3:16, for example. I know of one other denomination which believes that and they are just as wrong. I do not understand where they get that wrong info.

[ealgeone]

Paul was not one of the original disciples yet he was chosen by Christ to witness on His behalf.

Are the people who were led to Christ by Paul Christians or not?

[ealgeone]

Moses is dead; but I still obey the Ten Commandments.

What about the rest of the OT Law? You keeping all of those also??

[ealgeone]

The few here who assert they believe it is ONLY through the Catholic church that one can be saved HAVE TO ignore the truth of the gospel - that it is through faith in Jesus Christ, not in a church, that we are redeemed.

I bet there are more than a few who believe the first part.

Thankfully, Christians believe the second part that it is through faith in Jesus Christ that we are redeemed!!!!

[ebb tide]

Do you keep them?
