I would never argue against that....but Christ did grant certain extraordinary powers to a very select group of His followers.

And when that group was gone, so were those powers...

i could, from another’s view, but for me i had NO desire to. temptations had no lure.

Then it wasn't temptation, was it???

Father almighty and everlasting God; who with Thine only begotten Son and the Holy Ghost art one God, one Lord: not in the unity of a single person, but in the Trinity of a single nature.

So you have 3 Gods with one nature...It's not biblical but it's Catholic, so that's all that matters...

There you go again separating the nature of the Holy Trinity.

So scripture and nothingness mean about the same thing to you, eh???

Joh_14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

where did I say that? I grow weary of you taking part of a post twisting it and trying to play gotcha. Put up or shut up.

I merely asked you a question.

You responded that neither God, the Father, nor God, the Holy Ghost could sin after earlier stating that Jesus Christ, God, could be capable of sin.

The human side of Jesus would be capable of sin not His Godly nature. Neither the Father. or the Spirit became man. Christ’s Godhood was in. i way do i is her by the incarnation, He is eternally God and one with the Father and Spirit

mommd:Jesus very well could have sinned.

The above statement is heresy.

For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 NASB

That scapular around your neck must be choking off the oxygen supply to your brain.

Those people not only didn't know they were popes

do you really believe, for a moment, that Peter didn't believe that he was "head" of the Apostles......sheesh.

Anytime the evil entity can... it tempts. it doesn’t necessarily lightly test one and heavily test another. It goes after everyone and many times when we least expect it. You’ve heard the saying, “when will the other shoe drop”... and it comes in forms we have not counted on and learned to turn away from..

I’ve lived long enough and raised 5 kids to adulthood.. and I know temptation is always there. The normal kind just does not affect me.. I am not easily taken... but that doesn’t mean I can’t be. Just not attracted to what is obviously wrong. But it comes in the form as an angel of light... it can be deceiving and we can be taken in before we know it.

I never went down a road filled with all those “fun” things..it didn’t look like fun to me. So that entity tries another way...anything to get the person off somewhere and then let the regret and remorse and depression set in... anything to take a person away from Christ.

It can come as a red herring... and it can take us away from Christ because it is the complete fulfillment of our dreams and Jesus had been slow in answering...so this must be IT..

It pays to be doubting of anything that smells good and looks good.. but the inner voice (if we listen) is telling us NO... it pays to not be a follower.. it pays to rebel at being told what to do by those who are trying to get you to react or go off... it pays to question your head and heart. it pays to read the Word of God, for He talks to us in those words...
Let not man rule you.. let not man try to change you..

Am I ever tempted? not by the obvious... I just don’t go there.. I don’t party and I don’t fill my life with fakery. I was raised by a grandmother who held me accountable for anything and everything that ever came down the road. I knew if I did something, she would ask and it’s never been in my vocabulary to lie.. my 5 kids knew it was a capital offense to lie to me..

this is enough information.... surely I’ve answered the “no I am not tempted.... but there are always ways the evil side can get to you..just don’t sleep on it.

and keep it simple enough so everyone can understand.

ONe more thing.. I lost a son.. a very special young man..from leukemia.. a healthy man who lived a healthy life.. and being by his side as he was being taken to glory.. all the prayers that had been sent up to the heavens in his behalf.,, I loved that son with all I had..and I would have traded places in a minute.
Jesus visited him and showed him what it was like,.where he was going.. If I could have, I would have begged God to not take my son. But He did take him and I had to deal with it... I had to lean not on my understanding, but that the Lord knew more than I did..
it changed my insides like nothing ever before... you can’t be the same and lose a child.. no matter what age.
today I have to stay close to my Friend... my Helper.. My stay all the time.. I didn’t aim to write all this but I did.. Without Him, I’d be no account for anyone.
you all take care...I know you’ll say so sorry and I appreciate it... but there is a time when some of us just turn it over and expect the Lord to carry us when we can’t.

So do think Jesus Christ, God, is inferior to God, the Father, or God the Holy Ghost?

So do you think Jesus was lying when he said, " 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

You instead are trusting in this.....

We know that...And we also know when you guys think you're going thru Mary to get to Jesus, Jesus never hears you, and he doesn't hear Mary...

Yeah, He does...she's His mother and she is asking Him favors......sigh

Those people not only didn't know they were popes, they certainly didn't act like anything you see in Rome...Your popishness was retro-active from about 600 AD...So don't try to con anyone

Oh good grief, of course, in the infancy of the church, they weren't referred to as popes...but they certainly did act as such in that they were in charge of the Christian community which, of course, was CATHOLIC.

“God by definition cannot sin because he is perfect goodness itself. It would be a logical contradiction for God to violate his perfectly good and perfectly rational nature.” St Thomas Aquinas.
