OFFICE OF POPE IN THE BIBLE

[ScottA]

You need to learn the difference between the flesh and the spirit.

I am not the one treating the flesh like the spirit and the spirit like the flesh, or mixing what is written of the one with what is written of the other. On the contrary, I have rightly divided what is written regarding each.

Good.
As long as you realize that we are still IN the flesh, then you have it right.

If you believe that we are NOT in the flesh - you're delusional . . .

 

[Enoch111]

These myths about Constantine have already been exposed.

All non-Catholics please note. Any time there is anything negative stated about the RCC it is a myth. There were absolutely no false teaching promulgated, or evil deeds committed by the RCC. At least that is what they would like the world to believe.

Yes, good, we have something we can agree on.

But your demeanor suggests that you are saying so from the world and not from the kingdom. If one has passed from death to life, he speaks from a position of life and does not stand in defense of death, except in mercy for the lost. Such a position is comparable to Israel being kind and loving to strangers in the land: "Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt." Deuteronomy 10:19 Which is not to say that we should condone the sin of that time when we were strangers in the world, but rather that we should not.

Not really sure where you're getting that.

All I stated was the Biblical truth that although we are not OF the flesh - we are still IN the flesh.
That's all I've said. Anything else was YOUR invention . . .

Better yet - all anti-Catholics please note:
If you're going to make claims about the Catholic Church - be prepared to back them up with Scriptural and historical documentation.

Nothing worse than another impotent anti-Catholic regurgitating the same unsubstantiated nonsense without proof . . .

I explained that it was your demeanor, as if you had a fondness remaining for the flesh. Therefore I did not invent, but gave biblical precedence.

For, who having been delivered to the promised land, would come back in defense, saying: "But we are still from Egypt?"

Well, then you were wrong.

I long to be with the Lord.
As Paul stated, I would, "prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:8).

Well that is a far better statement than your BOLD reality speech of now being in the flesh (even if it is true). Again, it's your demeanor.

Wow - maybe I should do that more often!

Your statement is a myth. We don't deny wrongdoings committed by some church members, but we defend against the endless tidal wave of misrepresentations. If you don't like being stumped then stop insulting us.
BTW, I answered all your questions in the Matt Slick thread. You ran from mine.
