dont insult me please. i believe with jesus and not the pope......
In my expressing my beliefs concerning the Papist system is not an insult directed at you or anyone else and it is regrettable to me that you receive it as a personal insult. I do not take it as a personal insult when the Roman Catholic authorities tell me and other born again Christians we are heretics and have not recieved full salvation. I do not belive the Pope has recieved full salvation - he is a man like me - why should you be insulted that I say this of the pope but condone him saying this of me?
.....the infallible part of the church kicks in only when the pope invokes the holy spirit from the seat of 'ex cathedra'.
Post length restricts me from listing the many 'ex cathedral so called infallibilities of the Popes which were subsequently proven to be fallible and in grave scriptural error. Would you like to open a separate thread maybe entitled, "Ex Cathedra Errors of Doctrine" so that we can details and discuss them?
the pope cannot speak anything which the lord will not permit.
In 1431, Pope Eugene IV (1431-1447) declared Joan of Arc guilty of practicing witchcraft and condemned her to be burned at the stake. In 1919, however, Pope Benedict XV (1914-1922) canonized her as a saint. Which did "did the Lord permit"? The Pope who burned her to death or the one who made her a Saint?
