  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

So the reality is, for the pope to demand subjection to him and without it there is no salvation, according to tu es not doing it is being disobedient to Christ and you'll lose your salvation...Does that mean being disobedient to the Pope in any manner will prevent you from being saved?

So then a requirement for salvation according to you then would be obedience to Christ...How much or how perfect of obedience is required for salvation?

You'll have to ask God that question when you meet him.

When I was a catholic I was very much sincere and wanted to be obedient to Christ but found no power to live for Him. Then when I became born again I had the power of a new spirit to live for Christ. Sin no longer had dominion over me.

There are many that can be sincere about wanting to do what is good and right and yet be lost. A transformed life by the power of the Holy Spirit is indicative of being saved and not just a sincere wanting to be good or do good. Before I got saved I wanted to be good but kept on sinning which was indicative of being lost and not saved.

When I became born again it was natural for me to live a godly life because I had a new nature. And with that new godly nature was the power to live for Christ.
That's exactly how it was for me!
But I had already walked away from Catholicism, and was just
a plain old run of the mill Christian at the time. So iow, it had
nothing to do with Catholicism, but everything to do with God.

Pope Benedict smoking a filter king



I think a king has a right to smoke a cancer stick if he wants to.

The Pope, King of the world?
Ever read the Bull Unam Sanctum?
Check it out, especially the last part.
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/b8-unam.html


Along those lines take a look also at this...Also...

From the Source:Lucius Ferraris "Papa," art. 2, in his Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, Juridica, Moralis, Theologica, Ascetica, Polemica, Rubristica, Historica. ("Handy Library"), Vol. 5, published in Petit-Montrouge (Paris) by J. P. Migne, 1858 edition, column 1823, Latin.

#1. "The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God."

#13. "Hence the Pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions."

#18. "As to papal authority, the Pope is as it were God on earth, Sole sovereign of all the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having a plentitude of unbroken power, entrusted by the omnipotent God to govern the earthly and heavenly kingdoms."

#30. "The Pope is of so great authority and power, that he is able to modify, declare, or interpret even divine laws."

I have no King but Christ.

Europe's Smoking Culture Lingers, Despite Bans By CHRISTINA PASSARIELLO
b.gif


Lighting up doesn't carry the social stigma in Europe that it carries in the U.S. Many famous Europeans -- including the Pope, French soccer star Zinedine Zidane and Britain's Prince Harry -- have been known to puff in private without burning their public image. U.S. President-elect Barack Obama, on the other hand, has spoken publicly about the pressure he feels to quit smoking.

Holy Scripture is a statement of mercy, given to sinners, such as
Isa 45: 22 "Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other
Yet Rome stands by and presumes to determine who should and shouldn’t hear these words of our Mighty LORD; and if and what they hear it is by Romes permission. Here you see an assumprion of authority and power equal to God plus the control or at a minimum to order, HOW His will is communicated to His created ones.
