    The answer for you is to put your faith in Christ alone for your salvation and to allow the Holy Spirit to assist you to pick the meat from the bones in your RCC. Because when Jesus comes again, all religious organisations will be burned up and will no longer exist, and you will be standing...

    When I read your post I immediately thought of this Scripture: "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘I know your works, and where you dwell... where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days in which Antipas was my faithful martyr, who...

    Sooo... The Pope isn't the head of the true church then, seeing that He is the Vatican head of state?

    I think that most Protestant churches are pretty realistic about their failings and shortcoming. Church leaderships do not deny that corruption can happen, and they do what they can to deal with it. It seems that it is those religious organisations that see themselves as the "true" church...

    You ought to be sad for the general corruption and unholy conduct of those in the highest positions in the Vatican. The information about this has not come from outsiders. It has come from Vatican officials and priests themselves. It shows that there are those within the Vatican who are not...

    I think that you are so convinced that the RCC is the true church, succeeded from Peter and the Apostles, that you are totally blind to any alternative, and that you will fiercely defend your position with the Church until the cows come home, no matter what I or anyone else on the thread will...

    Who do you think you are that I should apologise to you? If anyone can prove me false from the Scriptures themselves, then I will stand corrected. But I am not convinced by quotes from Matthew implying that the true Church Jesus was talking about is the RCC. A church riddled with paganism...

    I did two comprehensive M.Div papers in Church History covering the Early Church right through to the present day. That required me to read a number of different historical texts. I also did a comprehensive paper on RC theology which clearly showed which parts were consistent with Scriptures...

    Of course modern RCs might want to forget that the "true" church burned alive those who worked to get the Scriptures into the language of the common people in Germany and England. The "true" Church didn't want ordinary people reading the Bible in their own languages because its false doctrines...

    I got my information about Constantine by reading Church History. Maybe the RCC historians edited out the paganism aspects of Constantine's influence on the Christian church. However, it seems that Pope Francis is welcoming pagan influence into the modern RCC by extending the right hand of...

    Oh well, if you choose to believe that, then you are welcome to it.

    I guess he missed the verse, "I [Jesus] am the Way the Truth and the Life, and no one comes to the Father except by Me".

    Wasn't it the same Paul who wrote about false teachers in the church "forbidding to marry"? And that he taught that bishops should be the husband of one wife? He also said that bishops should be blameless. Does that mean that the adulterous popes of Catholic church history should have been...

    I had to get a dig in somewhere! :) Pope Francis' ruling about the request to ordain priests in the Amazon because of the shortage, reflects any ruling he may make about ordaining married men to the priesthood anywhere. To be ordained as a priest in the RCC one has to be authorised by the...

    Oh come on! I thought you were more intelligent than that! Don't you really know that excommunication from the "true" church (ie: the RCC) means (to them) that the person has nowhere else to go but hell? Are you joking...really???

    I'll let your fingers do the walking - you can look it up on Google for yourself.

    There is no fellowship between the Holy Spirit and paganism. As soon as Constantine, in the 4th Century, introduced his pagan style of worship into the established Roman church, the Holy Spirit departed.

    The word "anathema" means "condemned to hell", because it involved being excommunicated from the true Church, and only those in the true Church will go to heaven. Where do you think those who are excommunicated go?

    Ammonia? Where's that?

    The married priests are those only Anglican and Lutheran priests who have decided to join the RCC priesthood. No freshly ordained RCC priests are allowed to be married. This is a ruling from Pope Francis himself.
