That's what gives me pause when it comes to Catholics, that and why they pray to Mary, please show me in the Bible where it says to pray to Mary. My belief is that Mary is in the grave, same as every other person who has ever died, save for Jesus, and wont be resurrected until the resurrection day. So praying to her is akin to praying to your forefathers.Of all the things asked of you to believe as a Christian, THAT'S what gives you pause?He reminds me of the fictitious pope Peter the 2nd in the Left Behind books. In the sense that he is very worried about being politically correct.We've had bad Popes before, and somehow the Church survived.
But, I've never understood why Catholics seem to believe they need a human mediator between them and God, when if they read the Bible, they would see that Jesus became that mediator, and they can pray to Him directly, and no contrition is required.
UM, NO!He's the voice of God on Earth. Is he not?I am unclear what you mean?The Pope gives me pause....
I'm a practicing Catholic and some of the things the Pope says and does gives me pause. I think his heart is in the right place but I also think he's making some comments that go against the Church and God. As for that globull warming nonsense? I still haven't figured out why he decided to weigh in on that
You are a wee bit off topic.That's what gives me pause when it comes to Catholics, that and why they pray to Mary, please show me in the Bible where it says to pray to Mary.

Millions of protestants believe this, not just me.
As I said, Christianity is predominately protestant, I never said they outnumbered Catholics.Most of the extremely negative rhetoric has come from protestants. And there are more Catholics in the world than Protestants btw.Don't confuse Catholicism with Christianity. Christianity is predominately protestant.He is very accepting of people. Instead of preaching hatred, he preaches understanding. It's a welcome change from the type of extremely negative rhetoric that has dominated the language of Christianity the las couple of decades.What do you think about his leftist public opinions?
Millions of people believe if we're bad we'll reincarnate as roaches. Just because you have numbers doesn't prove your belief correct.That's what gives me pause when it comes to Catholics, that and why they pray to Mary, please show me in the Bible where it says to pray to Mary.

So your saying Catholics are not Christian?As I said, Christianity is predominately protestant, I never said they outnumbered Catholics.Most of the extremely negative rhetoric has come from protestants. And there are more Catholics in the world than Protestants btw.Don't confuse Catholicism with Christianity. Christianity is predominately protestant.He is very accepting of people.

Again, please show me in the Bible where a man is to be the mediator between God and man.
Don't badmouth me, just show me.
He's the voice of God on Earth. Is he not?I am unclear what you mean?The Pope gives me pause....

I myself believe don't believe in the infallibility of the Pope. The Pope isn't perfect and all he says doesn't come from God, and not all he says is infallible
What do you think about his leftist public opinions?
He can accept all the people he wants, and they will go straight to Hell for being misled when they die. It's not technically their fault, but a technicality will still get you sent there.He is very accepting of people. Instead of preaching hatred, he preaches understanding. It's a welcome change from the type of extremely negative rhetoric that has dominated the language of Christianity the las couple of decades.What do you think about his leftist public opinions?
Also, he may be leftist or whatever, but he sure has a ton of money at his command should he want to use it. I could be all giving and leftist if I had a bankroll like the Catholic Church has.What do you think about his leftist public opinions?
As a Roman Catholic..the pope is a South American leftist....his political opinions and thoughts on economics are dumb....
Yet they believe equally that it is YOU who have been fooled by the prince of lies. And have as equal an amount of evidence as you do.He can accept all the people he wants, and they will go straight to Hell for being misled when they die. It's not technically their fault, but a technicality will still get you sent there.He is very accepting of people. Instead of preaching hatred, he preaches understanding. It's a welcome change from the type of extremely negative rhetoric that has dominated the language of Christianity the las couple of decades.What do you think about his leftist public opinions?
You seem to be a person that thinks the church should change it's thinking to accommodate all people, but that is not the churches decision, a true church must follow the rules in the Bible as closely as they understand those rules. It doesn't mean we should preach hate, but we should preach the truth as we know it, or believe it to be. And that truth as we know it is subject to change, if it can be proven through the Scriptures, if it can't be, then it cant be changed.
Being a homosexual will not keep anyone out of Heaven, not claiming Jesus, and asking His forgiveness for sins and not believing He is the risen Son of God, will keep many out of Heaven.
Asking the Pope or Cardinal or Catholic Father to forgive you, instead of asking the same of Jesus, will keep many out of the Kingdom, even though they were simply fooled.
If Catholic's or Baptists or whoever thinks they can kill or hate or lie and claim Christianity and just have their sins absolved by a Priest, yet never accept Jesus into their lives, if they think they are going to Heaven, then they have been fooled by the prince of lies.
Not at all, I believe many Catholics are Christian.So your saying Catholics are not Christian?As I said, Christianity is predominately protestant, I never said they outnumbered Catholics.Most of the extremely negative rhetoric has come from protestants.

Seems reasonable. Here's what I've found: Galatians 1 8 9
See, even us heathens read us some Bible from time to time.

I don't think you'd have ever found Christ in all that luxury.
Of course, the same goes for all you "evangelical" preachers out there.

if you own a Bible, then read it, and seek the Lord, not just from Catholic Priests but from Jews, and Protestants as well. Baptists, and Methodists, Presbyterians and Mormons, I have consulted all of them, as well as Catholics, if you truly want to learn, then seek Him and He shall reveal things you never knew.
Nope, none of them recognize Jesus at all, the only reason I consulted Jews was for a better understanding of the Tanukh.(I misspelled that greatly), the Old Testament. And most Jews recognize the New Testament, even if they disagree with it from page 1.Have you consulted Muslims, Hindu's, or Buddhists?Show me your evidence, I can produce mine, it is the Word of God,Yet they believe equally that it is YOU who have been fooled by the prince of lies.

Don't all the people who follow the Catholic church also read their Bible? How can it have stood for so long with such an obvious contradiction? Plus, they tithe every week. Poor, working class people. How can the church take their money when a lot of the people who are giving it can barely make ends meet? Some have no ends at all.Matthew 19:24"Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."Also, he may be leftist or whatever, but he sure has a ton of money at his command should he want to use it.

Luke 18:25"For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
3 different Gospels, repeated word for word. My feelings are that the Catholic leadership knows the truth, yet are unwilling to give up their leadership and power, and money to reveal the truth to the majority of their congregation.
