I do not beleive any man is inffalible, and I do not prefer one christian label to another. These are seperation, and totaly unbiblical, but answer me this. How do you personally know beyond a shadow of doubt that what you have been taught, and the way you interpet Gods word is the absolute right way, because like it or not, admit it or not that is exactly what you are saying everytime you call on your own perception, and respond with history, and then biblical text to align what is definatelty an attack against other christians. Pope John Paul did more towards peace than any other president in history, and had more of an impact for peace than any other person in history, and that is a fact! And you did not respond when I pointed out how Paul refered to himself as father of beleivers?? You see no matter how much history we know or how many years we study scripture we don,t have the mind of God, and what we do know would fit on the head of a pin in comparrison. How many protestants lean on their pastors, in the way catholics lean on their priests? How many chritians worship T.D. Jakes who rants , and raves, running back and forth on stage. That is method preaching, not spirit.

The difference is actually knowing the difference between absolution, and forgiveness. People hear and praise you for your music, and you are a fallen man saved by grace? I was raised in Catholic school, next to church. My mom has been catholic all her 86 years, and has prayed in ways that would shake a lesser in faith, and understanding, and she has always been very blessed, and has never had any theological study, and is not highminded, but loves God. I have seen many miracles concerning her health of which many doctors have been wittness to. Now explain that away with your great wisdom, and knowledge of God, and what He will or won,t recognize. It is common knowledge in todays church that a priest does not have power to forgive sins. And Babylon was never a God fearing establishment. You use references outdated and totaly changed. Go visit the pope someday, and ask him if he believes he is infallable, you may be surprised to learn something you never knew, only thought you knew.

All true facts without a doubt, and once again focusing on the sin of individuals, that are questionably christians. Jesus's definition of christian : I am the light of the world. He who FOLLOWS Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. There is no measuring tape of sin, For ALL have sinned, and fall SHORT of the glory of God, period. If I pulled out your history and began to plaster it all over the world how long do you think your credibility would stand. Yes maybe in the circle of friends, and those that know you, but in the big picture? You see the futility of claiming to be a man of God then proceeding to use your education for the tearing down of others that happen to be catholic. Yes you say it is against the institution, but the institution is made up of millions of catholics???

So are you now claiming what they claim, that you are unfallable, that you know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. You see the irony?

We re-evaluate ourselves as we go the bible says, or do you believe you will never reach a time that you may need defending with fingers pointing, and shame overwhelming you. We do not know the future, but God does. They stumble being disobedient to the word, to which they were also appointed. 1 Peter 2:8b You see my point we could with much evidence point fingers at one another all year, and do no good for the kingdom of God, so if you really want to be examining in truth no one is not guilty, therein lies the meaning of the gospel, the good news.

Lucifer knew God, and fell. Do you believe that you are not capable of falling. The bible does not teach that, quit the contrary. ANYONE can fall.

Again priests don't have a monopoly on sin, or do you not choose to share the same abuse that has been delivered by the hands of pentecostals, baptists, and on, and on. There are believers of every dotorine, and belief guilty of the same horror. Study human nature because that includes everyone instead of pointing fingers, and we can't also ignore the good that has come from those you have singled out to accuse.

Do you feel they have a monopoly on this, or does not satan attack from within? I don,t defend any corruption by neither catholics, the vatacan or protestants or so called non denominationals. Can you stop satan in your own life, or are you sinnless? Spiritual warfare is a reality and satan uses anyone he can to divide Gods family, especially those of the faith. These are all biblical truths, and precepts. Think about that the next time you sin, because you just sounded as if you were infallible? Let us not be so heavenly minded that we become no earthly good. Information is not wisdom, understanding is. If anything all the details you describe pertaining to catholocism should serve to enlighten us more to the need of Gods grace for ALL of us, None of us being PERFECT. Amen?

If christianity was defined by being perfect and without sin, you, me, and everyone on the planet would wind up in hell. It is about a perfect Savior, and that to the relief of us ALL! We need to come together as believers, and not do satans work. Scripture is essential to any discussion having to do with God, and His followers. "endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is only ONE body, and ONE Spirit etc. etc. Ephesians 4:3 thru 7 Lets lay aside ego, and vanity believing that some of us have God all figured out, it goes against THE BIBLE! who has known the mind of God? and who can counsel the Lord?

every catholic knows the priest does not forgive sins, but those precepts are founded in scripture, like James 5:13 through16. Have you ever told a friend a secret, and immedietly felt BETTER?
