No one? Then why do I hear that the Catholic Church needs to loosen its restrictions on priests marrying to help reduce the pedophilia going on?

It’s also heresy. Heresy changes all the time. 1 Timothy 4:1-3 KJV [1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with...

Aren’t your Clergy, Cardinals and Popes forbidden to marry?

psst. (just between you and me)...Peter was married... Luke 4:38 (NASB) Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's home. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her.

Apparently it was those with Peter as well… John 20:22-23 KJV [22] And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: [23] Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

The one true Church is made up of regenerate believers from every tribe tongue and nation, whose sins have been washed in the Blood of the Lamb. True believers who hold to the teachings of the Apostles (IOW the Church), hold the keys.

Every cult makes the same claim, "We are the One True Church"... 1 Corinthians 3:3-7 (NASB) for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos,"...

Well of course there will be less and less Christians. Jesus asked will there be faith on the earth when He returns? and Paul foretold that the latter days will see great apostasy. In the days of Noah only 8 were saved, because of widespread unbelief. But hey, Jesus isn't running a popularity...

Secularism and progressive Christianity are just the ancient hiss of "Hath God said?" Jesus said 'He would build His Church' Mt 16:18 made up of redeemed peoples from every nation tribe, tongues and peoples. So on what basis does Rome proclaim those who hold to Sola Scriptura as heretics?

I think I heard all this growing up under an atheistic father and a secular school system. You are only proving Christ's case that 'few will find it'.

True, but sects and cults do.

I suppose I can derail this into a Catholic bashing thread, but I won't if you don't push Rome's propaganda.

Where else would you like to go for eternal/spiritual truths besides God’s Word?

(Joh 16:13) "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. No. What gave you that idea? Closer to... (Eph 2:20) having been built on...

Actually you misunderstood what I wrote. What I wrote was "His Spirit continues to reveal to our understanding what is already written." What is already written is what the apostles wrote under divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit opens our understanding bit by bit to the apostles...

Was your response to what I had written, which was ..."His Spirit continues to reveal to our understanding what is already written." Where is the difficulty that you would say 'better read scripture'? Or are you trolling?

sounds like the difference between the Infinite and the finite; when you have everything, you have nothing to lose

He is also the Sacrifice, Savior. Prophet and soon coming King!

Jesus surely is central but then the question becomes 'which Jesus'? (2Co 11:4) For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, this you tolerate very well!

His Spirit continues to reveal to our understanding what is already written.
