    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Let's say you come home and find your house robbed and most of your stuff thrown on the floor and your television, computers and all the wife's jewellery is missing from the bedroom. Do you then say I was not robbed because I don't know when this was done or by who. I first posted this on page...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    There can be a little educated guessing here. Note the word educated guessing based on what we know about human nature, the devil, things Paul said and the copies of the Word. Paul said "This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me;..." So it was breaking up right...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Someone pressured me to answer who and when the Catholics moved in. Like I'm supposed to know. Was I there? Am I two thousand years old? He wanted an answer as to who started the Catholics. So I gave him my best answer. There are many people who believe this. It's not just me.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    When I was younger I asked my Bible teachers who started the Catholic church. They answered me by saying the Devil.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    People on here get upset and attack me personally whenever someone like you asks me that. They get mad not because of your question, but because they quote my answer without quoting your question and they then say see he's boasting of himself as some great one and so he's not humble and so he...

    Give me a verse where it is written that God is a servant?

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    We know the Catholics corrupted Christianity because we now have the Bible in English. We can thank Tyndale for that who was strangled to death while tied at the stake and then his dead body was burned. So we can now read the Scriptures for ourselves to see what the Catholics teach is nonsense...

    The Scriptures is where we get the biblical data from. Not from the Catholics.

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Nobody ever said Jesus was just a man. The son of God who was also the Messiah is not just a man. And I already responded to your thinking of "I am" and "image" and thus, they only mean something in your mind.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I think it boils down to this... God created one Church and the Catholics took it over early and corrupted it so bad mostly because they had it all to themselves for 1,600 years that when the groups started splintering from it they could not find the truth since the Catholics had corrupted it so...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Romans says a man (Adam) caused sin to enter into the world, and also that a man would have to redeem it from sin. Romans 5:15 says “For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.” Some...

    @Aunty Jane... Put it this way and I don't care where she got this information from because she's right. ”5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Now this was written well. I like the two things God can't do... lie and die. Who is he serving Himself and why would He need to ain't bad either.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Much of the Roman Catholic doctrine was assimilated into Protestantism and is still being passed along as Christian groups continue to split off from one another. In a nutshell that is why even the independent church in your neighborhood today most probably believes that there is a trinity, dead...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    I'm not sure what you mean by one in Christ. I look at it this way... I now spend much of my time right inside the spirit as close as I can get right in their face. The Greek word menō translated "abide" often deals with being in him, which I'm very concerned about when it comes to walking in...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    There's only one of me when I look in the mirror. Not two of us.

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Okay... let's start with you. Is your image of you someone else or is there only one of you when you look in the mirror?

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Scholars debate the translation of this verse, and the two sides of that debate can be seen in the various translations. Some scholars believe that “glory” is used in an adjectival sense, and that the verse should be translated as in the NIV84: “While we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the “image of God” Colossians 1:15; 2 Corinthians 4:4). If Christ is the image of God, then he cannot be God because a person cannot be himself and an image of himself at the same time. Jesus can be called the “image” of God because he always did the will of...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Here's another cool translation... Aramaic Bible in Plain English And I have been crucified with The Messiah, and from then on I myself have not been living, but The Messiah is living in me, and this that I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of The Son of God, he who has loved us and...
