I am talking out my arse here, but ... there is no fixing that. But then again I am flummoxed by the Catholics. I am not a theologist, but it says right in the Bible that you answer to God before any man, that your Father is your Maker, not some ass hat in a robe, and that there is no such thing as church doctrine - only God's doctrine.
Historically the church has gone off the rails before. If anything it seems like it is in for some kind of re-reformation... or at least a damned good house cleaning.
But whadda I know? I shouldn't tell anyone what to think. All I know is that queers and pedos are in the church because they are looking for redemption - and they are not finding it in faggotry. They will destroy churches and communities the same way they destroy their families. Leaders are supposed to stand against sin and harm, not embrace it.
The POOP is a demonically controlled fraud leading his "followers" to doom and away from Jesus. It is abundantly clear and he is a very evil bastard.
ReplyDeleteI’m a Roman Catholic. In the 19th Century AD Pope Leo XIII had a vision that satan would be given a century of extra power over the Church and the world. Around 1972 Pope Paul VI said the smoke of satan had entered the Church. The First Vatican Council held in the 19th Century AD warned of Modernism and sought to head that off. Then in the 20th Century AD the Second Vatican Council was held to bring the Church into the Modern World. Now here we are.
ReplyDeleteIt has been predicted that the Church must go through the Passion of Christ. We are probably now located in the Holy Week of the Church approaching Good Friday, so to speak.
I gave up on the Church years ago when they tried to excuse all the pedastiary vy priests

Satan tempted Christ, and He passed the test. Regrettably churches of all stripes have struggled since, one only need read Paul's letters to the early churches to understand it has happened from the beginnings of the church. God will not be mocked and these people will be judged, I suspect harshly.

ReplyDelete...I am flummoxed by the Catholics.
You're in good company. Many Christians are confounded by Catholicism.
I am not a theologist...
Which is a clumsy way of stating that you're not a theologian. This is a common method used to absolve yourself of any responsibility for the veracity of the arguments you're about to make as evidenced by the fact that you are a theologian because, by your own admission, you've read the entire Bible and studied parts of that work in great detail. Therefore, you're a theologian.
...there is no such thing as church doctrine
Not so. Church doctrine exists and can be found most anywhere. When such doctrine is professed to be Holy (as in the Catholic church, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, or the Seventh-day Adventists) it amounts to false doctrine or, more accurately, heresy.
These are not Christian churches. These are cults, and I don't believe they will ever be reformed. The only thing to do is to believe and preach the one true gospel, thus denying these cults new members.
You're quite right about the role of pastors and elders or deacons standing against the evil one and his influences. You're doing good.
I was in about fifth grade. The Houston Sunday paper would be open, laying on a chair that I would walk past,as I left the house. I'd stop and look at Above the fold,front page. If something caught my attention I'd take it to the table and read. The stories of priests, Caught, diddling kids, and their Punishment being forced to Move to a parish where they weren't known, really confused me. Were there No Cops reading this? Why were they not arrested? Why would a God Fearing CHURCH protect them?
ReplyDeleteSo, Catholicism never intrigued me. Why would I seek redemption in a satanic organization?
