    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    :D Mr. Kreeft is speaking at my church next month. Can't wait . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Good grief - another Alexander Hislop devotee . . . How many time must you be shown that Hislop simply made up most of what was in his book? Read Ralph Woodrow's "The Babylon Connection?", which dispels and otherwise debunks Hislop's schlock opus . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    And that's your problem. You have an aversion to providing Biblical evidence. Pretty feeble for a Biblical "expert" . . .

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    This response is a textbook example of the utter ignorance of ex-Catholics. You don’t understand Scripture, Church history or what Catholics believe, so you leave – then deny the Church’s Apostolic roots. Shoe me a clueless Catholic and I’ll show you a Protestant . . . Ummmm, NOT sure what...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    WRONG. There was only ONE Church. The Church was being called the Catholic Church before the end of the FIRST century while some of the Apostles were still alive. The distinction between "Catholic" and "Orthodox" didn't occur until the Schism in the 11th century. Eastern Fathers like first...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Again - YOU have presented nothing but your opinions. I have provided Scriptural quotes, references and context. In a debate - it's the weight of evidence that wins the day, NOT the lack of it . . .

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    And unless you;re just being dishonest - you apparently didn't read what I wrote about confession and penance. I state very clearly that the prayers or actions of penence take place AFTER repentance and forgiveness. And as I stated before - they are a tool to help the pernint person to reflect...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    WRONG on BOTH counts. The blessing that the Pope has approved is not a blessing on the couple. It is a blessing on each individual - with a plea for them to returm to the fullness of the faith by eventually reoiuncing their lifestyle. Prayers or actions assigned as penance after confession...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    Actually, a more accurate statement is that Gnostics hold to some Catholic teachings. Catholics were here first. There is some truth in just about every religious system - and that includes gnosticiam. That doesn't mean that those churches and faith traditions who share some of those truths...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    Then you don't understand Catholic teaching because it doesn't fit your definition of "Gnostic" . . ..

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Funny thing is that I've asked you about a dozen times to show me that teaching from the Catechism - and you have FAILRD miserably each tim. You know what God says about LIARS, don't you? Rev 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    That's because you disregard su much of Scripture as "scattered" verses and refuse to accept that it is the inerrant Word of Almightly GOD.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    First of all - the Bible DOES reveal that Jesus is fully God and fully man. YOUR refusal to believe it lies in the fact that there are too many "scattered" verses that prove these things abd no verse that liteally says, "Jesus is 100% God and 100% man." The Bible provides both explicit and...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    What exactly is "gnostic" about the Catholic Church?

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Becaus eit wa commanded by Jesus (Luke 22:19, John 6:53-58).

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    WRONG. First of all, "I AM" doesn't make grammatical sense as an answer to the Pharisees' question: John 8"57 So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” For YOUR scenario to make sense - He would have to have said, "Before Abraham, I WAS" Secoindly...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Ummmm, for your information, my ignorant friend - the circular shape of the host has about God's infinite existence. It has nothing to do with "sun worship". Looks like someone has been reading to many Jack Chick comic books based on Alexander Hislop's debunked schlock opus, "The Two Babylons"...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    The teachings are there – YOUR refusal to believe, notwithstanding . . . John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him [Jesus], “My Lord and my GOD!” Matt. 4:7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your GOD to the test.’” Phil. 2:6 ...Who [Jesus], being in...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Not only are you dishonest - you have a bad memory. I already educated you about the fact that the Son is BOTH God AND Man. The fact that He is the perfect man does NOT mean that He is NOT God. Try again . . .

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Jesus said: Matt. 19:26 “…with God ALL things are possible.” WHAT part of that do you have difficulty with? As Paul wrote: Rom. 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned Only a perfect...
