What it does it confirms that everything that you believe derived from your personal perspective of Scripture. You have, in effect, made yourself your own personal pope. Congradulations!!!! :)
you can quit waffling any time now, and answer the question.

"So, what you are saying is that there have been bad popes who used their pulpit of spiritual leadership for personal gain?

I wish someone would have told me when I was looking at churches."


Now that you know the truth, it has made you free to "come out of her".

I rejoice with you.:clap:

Lead me to the Vomit Punch Bowl!^_^

I respect forgiveness, needing so much myself, but there comes a point when ya gotta stop enabling chronic offenders.
But then I have to admit I've been getting 95% of my information from the criticisms of Catholics themselves, not from Protestants, so I must hedge my criticisms in that respect.
I can completely sympathize with your affections, but I can't realy endorse them.

I like waffles........what question are you alluding that I am eluding?
reposting for your convenince.

question.

Did Jesus dwell among sinners?

does he live in sinners now?

do sinners partake of him regularly?

do sinners commune with him?

do sinners call him friend?

Jesus lived with, ate with, befriended sinners.

he lives within us now, and none of us are sinless.

the "neccessity" that Mary be sinless to bear Christ is an out and out falsehood.

oh, for the love of gravy.

forget it... you appear unable or unwilling.
If you had been following the discussion between OrthodoxyUSA and myself, I went over this already.

Look up kecharitomene in a credible Greek resource and tell us all what it means, and the implication of that meaning.

2. Baptist
3. Pentacostal
4. Greek Orthodox (which I don't think you claim as yours either)
