Are you Catholic? If so the Pope is your Holy Father.

 

[Ed the Ned]

No, the pope and the papacy are not of God and like Islam teach wrong teachings about salvation. The papacy has aligned itself with some of the greatest dictators in History and in my view are ant semetic.
So bodhitarta if you disagree with the Catholic church we might have found something we agree on! :yes

I agree with Ed, Bodhi. Catholicism is very different from Biblical Christianity, which is why Catholicism is not allowed to be discussed in this forum. If you want to discuss about Christianity, let's just stick to the Bible.

These are the rules for Catholic discussion:

Discussion of Catholic doctrine will be allowed in the One on One Debate Forum and End Times forum only. Do not start new topics or sway existing threads toward a discussion or debate that is Catholic in nature.

So bodhitharta you are quite correct in posting this post here, the problem is can you explain what it has to do with end time prophecy. I am sure the reason the rule is in place is that The papacy and the catholic church are intertwined in end time prophecies.

Again I agree with you if you suggest that the pope is not the Father, what I don't agree with is why the subject is being raised in this forum. It the moderators wish that we do not discuss certain issues of the Roman Catholic church then I think there is a reason for that.

Please indicate what this has to do with end time prophecy?

 

[True]

The pope is the head of the catholic church, God's representative on earth, not God himself. Catholcs do not pray to the pope, they FOR him, so he may be guided in the right path.

Most who call themselves protestants have not come out of the teachings of the Catholic Church

He is called Holy Father and Jesus said that you were not to call any man on earth Father for your Heavenly Father is your Father, so is the Pope your Father?

 

[jasoncran]

the pope isnt my father, only the father in heaven is

Firstly, we do not know of any Catholics or Catholic Church in the Bble.

Secondly, what teachings of the Catholic Church have protestants not come out of ?

Tina, what kind of person is a Biblical Christian?

I'm asking this because I am Lutheran by denomination but I don't really see myself especially as Biblical. Of course, the term itself may carry a different tinge in the US and in northern Europe where I am from. Here it would mean something like "sticking to the Bible and no further", that is, for example, all sort of speculation about "meaning" behind Bible's word would be out of place.

That is an absolutely false statement.

You mean Catholicism is not different from Biblical Christianity ??? .....

And its also an ironic one, coming from someone who thinks that Christians must observe Old Testament legalisms.

How on earth did you get such an idea about me ??? ......

The reason Catholicism is not discussed here is because there are so many hateful people that turn threads about Catholic issues into arguments that the mods got tired of dealing with the haters. Thats what a mod told me. But if you ask any mod here, NONE of them will say what you have just said.

I challenge you to a one-on-one over ANY Catholic teaching. You apparently need an education

No thank you !! ........ :naughty :naughty


:D

 

[TheCatholic]

Maybe its not discussed because most christians arent interested in praying to Mary or long fancy robes or saying hail marys for repentance or having to confess sins to men behind walls.....just a thought.......

A thought of the brainless

Wow! That was Christian.

 

[stranger]

Greetings,

Here is thought ...

Most denominations would recognise early church fathers and later church fathers. What does the word father mean in this context?

I would argue that amongst Lutherans and Calvinist's, Luther and Calvin have the same kind of 'father status' as the early church fathers did, in their respective spheres of influence.

Ok

So does this mean that all Catholics are going into the lake of fire?
