    Are Your Beliefs Absolute Truths?

    They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their desertion shows that none of them was of our number. Shall i abandon my brothers and sisters? I dont need to leave to reign with Christ. Indeed , as I love them, I...

    Are Your Beliefs Absolute Truths?

    Lol, now on that we agree! I would also add that, humbling oneself before GOD is easy, humbling oneself before their brothers and sisters can be much more difficult... Something i struggle with often ..

    Are Your Beliefs Absolute Truths?

    Hello amadeus, I am not suggesting that one needs to submit to some oracle or prophet who claims to have authority from Christ (although it may be wise to give such a hearing) I am saying that we are bound to respect and obey those who we know have legitimate authority over us. Take this...

    Are Your Beliefs Absolute Truths?

    Was i judging you a rebel? No, i was saying that for me to claim the authority of the pope (Francis) or my bishop (James) would make me a rebel.. What do you think Jude is talking about when he warns of falling into the rebellion of Korah? Woe to them! They followed the way of Cain, abandoned...

    Are Your Beliefs Absolute Truths?

    Tempting.. isn't it? To say that 'we all of us are holy, a royal priesthood.. Prophets , priests and kings' 'who then are Francis and James' that they should Lord it over me...? Rebellion is never the answer

    Are Your Beliefs Absolute Truths?

    We have an authorative Church whose duty it is to preserve and pass on the 'deposit of Faith' that it received through the apostles. Rejecting that 'deposit of Faith' to pursue ones own 'truth' is to fall into error...

    OFFICE OF POPE IN THE BIBLE

    Hi Taken, Regardless of what the pope may or may not have been trying to say in that homily, infallibillty would not apply. Infallabilty aplies when the pope is officialy declaring some doctrine that is binding on all the faithful. Where exactly that line is drawn, is not a settled question...

    Are Your Beliefs Absolute Truths?

    Hi ByGrace, I absolutely agree with you 'Truth is truth' God is Truth! The Father, Son , and Holy Spirit is Truth. Someone asked who is the determiner of Truth and of course it is God and no other. And those things that are true, are true regardless of who believes them or not.. The truth...

    Are Your Beliefs Absolute Truths?

    Nonsense. Is it not Absolute Truth , that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God? That he suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified died and was buried? That he rose again and ascended into heaven? Yes it is, whether i believe those things or not. Peace!

    Just to clarify , here is the relevant section from the catechism: 891 "The Roman Pontiff, head of the college of bishops, enjoys this infallibility in virtue of his office, when, as supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful - who confirms his brethren in the faith he proclaims by a...

    OFFICE OF POPE IN THE BIBLE

    The infallibility of the pope , refers to his official declarations on matters on faith and morals especially in unison with the other bishops of the Church ( the Councils) The Holy Spirit will NOT allow Christ's church to teach error.. This 'infallabilty' does NOT mean that a pope or bishop...
