Satanic High Priest's Claim About The Origin Of Evolution

[Jipsah]

It would be helpful if you cited the verse and translation.
That's especially true of:
"Look, I'm not talking about eating my literal flesh and drinking my literal blood because that would be useless - I'm talking spiritual things. You've got to have Me inside your body, living out My life in you, if you are to profit unto eternal life".

The problem there is that there is no such Scripture.

I'm wondering if there's an extremely bad paraphrase version of the bible being used.

No; sad to say, it's just made up.

 

[Phoneman-777]

A small minority of Protestants. The vast majority of them are way too smart to believe a story like that.

If you knew anything about history, you'd know the entire Protestant world believed far differently than it does today, and what fool would argue that the scholarship of the great Protestant Reformers was inferior to that of the screen addicted, drug addicted, p*rn addicted antinomianist crop of "cemeterians" and preachers of our day?

Were they as keen to make up "quotes" from Jesus as some folks here (naming no names) have shown themselves to be? Or for making ludicrously false accusations about what those of other faiths believe? Or did they still possess at least a modicum of honesty, to say nothing of honor?

, and what fool would argue that the scholarship of the great Protestant Reformers was inferior to that of the screen addicted, drug addicted, p*rn addicted antinomianist crop of "cemeterians" and preachers of our day?

Dunno. I do note that some folks who demonstrated that they don't have even a shred of intellecual honesty are the ones most eager to cast aspersions at the ideas of others.

BTW, we'd some of us still like to see the chapter and verse on those "quotes" where our Lord allegedly "explained what He really meant" regarding bread and wine and His Body and Blood. I don't seen to be able to locate them.

 

[Jipsah]

Funny, that's EXACTLY how we Protestants feel when we hear about that silly "transubstantiation" notion.

Yeah, our Lord can't really have meant what He said. That's the position the Pharisees took, as well.

 

[Phoneman-777]

Nope. Yours, perhaps? You seem to have found some quotes from our Lord that Scripture missed.

No, but the popes claim to "hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty".

Jesus had to tell them, "Look, I'm not talking about eating my literal flesh and drinking my literal blood because that would be useless - I'm talking spiritual things. You've got to have Me inside your body, living out My life in you, if you are to profit unto eternal life".

Where'd you come up with that one? Or do you just make stuff up and then attribute it to Jesus Christ?

I didn't make up transubstantiation: the catholic church did in order to gain sacramental "leverage" over the people. And, boy did they ever - so much so that if a king stepped out of line, the church would threaten to withhold the sacraments from that district, which drove the people to desperation.

What a shame Protestants weren't yet around to show them what a denial of Scripture the doctrine is.

Glad you chose that particular canard! Here's what the Roman Catholics (I'm Anglo-Catholic myself) have to say about it:
There is a photo of Pius X being passed around with a false statement attributed to him. In the caption Pius X is alleged to have said that "the Pope is not simply the representative of Jesus Christ. On the contrary, he is Jesus Christ Himself, under the veil of the flesh." No Pope is Jesus Christ in the flesh. There is only one Man-God and He is Jesus. Popes are in fact representatives of Christ and there is the authority that Jesus gave His Apostles in general and to Peter specifically. What is most telling about this quote is that it gives no Catholic source. If they had a Catholic source for it they would be screaming it from the house top. I did some looking around and found an article titled "The Pope claims to be God on earth" and Pius X was quoted in the article. Apparently, they didn’t give the source for the quote because if the reader had checked it, he would realize that Pius X never said the Pope was Jesus Christ.

There's more, just in case you're even vaguely interested in the truth of the matter Is the Pope Jesus Christ

Canard? Considering the church has been embroiled in scandal and lying for centuries, and also the almost non-existence of defamation lawsuits, one can easily presume the church draws a fine line between truth and propaganda.

Ever heard of the so-called "Donations of Constantine"? A pack of lies.

Don't you find it ridiculus to believe that only atheists are interested in studying God's actual creations?

Yes, that's why I don't believe it.

What are you afraid they'll find there? But I see you don't mind using the inventions produced by those allegedly atheistic engineers and scientists when it suits you, and or allows you to peddle your twisted religion.

Plenty of the great minds of science and invention were Creationists before the cancer of "evolution" spread across the land. And rightly so. The Bible told us that Pleiades is a bound cluster while Orion is shooting apart at breakneck speed...long before evolutionary pseudoscientists knew anything about it.

I mock Satan at every opportunity and on any excuse. He's a fraud and a liar. Martin Luther said it beautifully in the song:
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! His doom is sure.
One little word shall fell him.

Denying a 7 day creation mocks God, not Satan, right or wrong?

Satan isn't even a god. But I suspect that he is in your beliefs. An evil god who wars with the Good God, and the issue possibly in doubt. Close?

He's the "god of this world" - the god of evolution, the god of Luciferian societies, the god of any religion who claims their leader claims all the names, titles, authority, prerogatives, etc., of Jesus.

Probably not. I'd just keep remembering that phony "quote".

Yes, all the church has to do is deny it and we should believe them, right? Are we talking about the same church?

Let's see if you believe this:
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

So tell me about Satan's authority over this earth again. Our Lord says He's in charge. Gee whiz, who should I believe, you or Him? Tough decision <ROFL>

This is so juvenile. Even a leashed dog will bite off a person's hand if their dumb enough to get too close. Likewise, almost the entire political and religious world has camped out in Satan's living room, especially those who teach the pope is "king of heaven, Earth, and purgatory" - yet, he's not the "god of this world", right?

I guess God forgot to consult you before codifying the First Commandment, right?

Defamation lawsuits: where are they?

 

[Phoneman-777]

Were they as keen to make up "quotes" from Jesus as some folks here (naming no names) have shown themselves to be? Or for making ludicrously false accusations about what those of other faiths believe? Or did they still possess at least a modicum of honesty, to say nothing of honor?

No, they had plenty enough actual quotes from the papacy to condemn her as "Antichrist" which it absolutely claims to be.

Isn't that what "Vicar of Christ" means? LOL

Dunno. I do note that some folks who demonstrated that they don't have even a shred of intellecual honesty are the ones most eager to cast aspersions at the ideas of others.

Are you talking about the papal Inquisitors who leveled false charges of "heresy" against innocent Bible believing Protestants before handing them over to the State for execution?

BTW, we'd some of us still like to see the chapter and verse on those "quotes" where our Lord allegedly "explained what He really meant" regarding bread and wine and His Body and Blood. I don't seen to be able to locate them.

BTW, if you think that wafer and that booze literally transform into the actual body and blood of Christ while simultaneously remaining in appearance and substance as literal wafers and booze, then you have no business climbing on here and telling anyone about anything to do with theology.

 

[Jipsah]

No, but the popes claim to "hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty".

Did the pope force you to make up those "quotes" from our Lord that appear nowhere in Scripture?

I didn't make up transubstantiation: the catholic church did in order to gain sacramental "leverage"

Really? Maybe yu can explain this away:

23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

I'm sure that's in your bible, because you went to all the trouble to make up a quote which you attributed to our Lord to try and explain it away.

Canard? Considering the church has been embroiled in scandal and lying for centuries

Speaking of lying, were we suppposed to know so little Scripture that we'd accept your little impromptu addition to the canon as holy writ?

Plenty of the great minds of science and invention were Creationists before the cancer of "evolution" spread across the land. And rightly so. The Bible told us that Pleiades is a bound cluster while Orion is shooting apart at breakneck speed...long before evolutionary pseudoscientists knew anything about it.

Sorry, that's simply gibberish.

Denying a 7 day creation mocks God, not Satan, right or wrong?

How long is a "day" for God, when there's no sun as a basis for measurement? Twenty four "hours", when hours hadn't been created by men who hadn't been created yet? Simple ignorance, and militant ignorance at that. Satan probably thinks it's hilarious.

He's the "god of this world" - the god of evolution, the god of Luciferian societies, the god of any religion who claims their leader claims all the names, titles, authority, prerogatives, etc., of Jesus.

Maybe you can make up a quote from our Lord to make that official.

Defamation lawsuits: where are they?

Hey, try your luck; you might find a judge dumb enough to hear one.

 

[Jipsah]

BTW, if you think that wafer and that booze literally transform into the actual body and blood of Christ while simultaneously remaining in appearance and substance as literal wafers and booze, then you have no business climbing on here and telling anyone about anything to do with theology.

Then you don't believe what our Lord said, so much so that you didn't mind making up a fake "explanation" to get around it. . Thank you, that tells me all I need to know about your "religion."

 

[Phoneman-777]

Really? Here's part of a much longer Catholic prayer:

Blood of Christ, only-begotten Son of the eternal Father,
save us.
Blood of Christ, Incarnate Word of God,
save us.
Blood of Christ, of the New and Eternal Testament,
save us.

Blood of Christ, falling upon the earth in Agony,
save us.
Blood of Christ, shed profusely in the Scourging,
save us.
Blood of Christ, flowing forth in the Crowning with Thorns,
save us.
Blood of Christ, poured out on the Cross,
save us.
Blood of Christ, price of our salvation,
save us.
Blood of Christ, without which there is no forgiveness,
save us.

Any questions?

That's talking about PURGATORY! Yes, the blood of Christ fills that bottomless barrel of "merit" which gets you out of Purgatory even though Mary's merit is more efficacious than Christ's merit (what arrogance) but it has nothing to do with saving people from eternal hellfire - catholics are saved from that by the word of the priest:

"The sentence of the priest precedes, and God subscribes to it". - Dignities and Duties of the Priest


Jesuit priest Richard Leonard said in a radio interview concerning the beloved hymn "How Great Thou Art":

"I can't sing verse three. I wander through glades in verse one and shout with acclamation verse five, but verse three says:

'And when I think of God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in.
That on a Cross, my burdens gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.'

"...well I can scarce take it in either because I don't believe in that sort of thing."

Jesuit priests are supposed to be pretty up on official positions of the church - a church, I remind you, which doesn't tolerate "heresy", right?

 

[Jipsah]

Isn't that what "Vicar of Christ" means? LOL

No. Look up "vicar". LOL

And for the record, your opinion of the RCC is of little significance to me as an Anglican. I do prefer their beliefs to the make-it-up-as-you-go rubbish that proudly illiterate backwoods Protestants tend to come up with.
By the bye, what do you think of the ancient Creeds of the Church? I'm keen to know.

 

[Phoneman-777]

Then you don't believe what our Lord said, so much so that you didn't mind making up a fake "explanation" to get around it. . Thank you, that tells me all I need to know about your religion.

Sorry, but the problem is YOU don't know how to interpret Scripture.

If catholics would pick up a REAL Bible and read John 6:63 KJV, you and they would understand that "the flesh profiteth nothing. THE WORDS that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life".

Eating Christ's body and drinking His blood is figurative for consuming HIS WORD, and it's not surprising that the very same church that forbid the reading of His Word until what amounts to just yesterday in the history of Christianity is the same church that remains willfully ignorant of this figurative narrative.

 

[Jipsah]

That's talking about PURGATORY!

You didn't even read it, did you? You just midlessly accept the mendacious rubbish you hear from crooked radio "preachers".

Makes sense now.

 

[Jipsah]

Eating Christ's body and drinking His blood is figurative for consuming HIS WORD

That's not what He said, is it? You had to make up some claptyrap that you attached His name to so as to get around what He actually said. Shame!

, and it's not surprising that the very same church that forbid the reading of His Word until what amounts to just yesterday in the history of Christianity is the same church that remains willfully ignorant of this figurative narrative.

Maybe you need to make up a few more verses to drive that point home.

 

[Phoneman-777]

I'm sure that's in your bible, because you went to all the trouble to make up a quote which you attributed to our Lord to try and explain it away.

I'm making it up? Let's find out:

Popes have repeatedly claimed to be God:
​

Pope Pius X declared, “The Pope is not simply the representative of Jesus Christ. On the contrary, he is Jesus Christ Himself, under the veil of the flesh. Does the Pope speak? It is Jesus Christ who is speaking, hence, when anyone speaks of the Pope, it is not necessary to examine but to obey.” (7)


Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (2)


Pope Innocent III said “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (3)


Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (4)

The Popes claim the title of "Vicar of Christ" - which means “substitute Christ.”:
(The word antichrist doesn’t just mean “against Christ“, it means “in place of Christ.”)​

Pope Boniface VIII said “We declare, assert, define and pronounce to be subject to the Roman Pontiff is to every creature altogether necessary for salvation… I have the authority of the King of Kings. I am all in all, and above all, so that God Himself and I, the Vicar of Christ, have but one consistory, and I am able to do almost all that God can do. What therefore, can you make of me but God?” (5)

Pope Pius IX said, “I alone… am the successor of the apostles, the vicar of Jesus Christ. I am the way, the truth, and the life…” (6)

Pope Pius XII said, “…recognize the Holy, Catholic, Roman Church to be the only true Church of Jesus Christ, outside of which neither sanctity nor salvation can be found. Call them to the unity of the one fold, granting them the grace to believe every truth of our holy faith and to submit themselves to the Supreme Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth.” (8) (These blasphemous Papal proclamations oppose what Jesus told us in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”)

Popes proclaim Mary lived a sinless life and is the co-redeemer:​

Pope John Paul II said, “The truth of the Assumption, defined by Pius XII, is reaffirmed by the Second Vatican Council, which thus expresses the Church’s faith: “Preserved free from all guilt of original sin, the Immaculate Virgin was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory upon the completion of her earthly sojourn. She was exalted by the Lord as Queen of the Universe…For the Mother of Christ is glorified as ‘Queen of the Universe‘.” (9)


“The Church… been accustomed to have recourse to that most ready intercessor, her Mother Mary … For as St. Irenaeus says, she ‘has become the cause of salvation for the whole human race.‘” (10)


Pope Pius XI said, “What will it cost you, oh Mary, to hear our prayer? What will it cost you to save us? Has not Jesus placed in your hands all the treasures of His grace and mercy? You sit crowned Queen at the right hand of your son: your dominion reaches as far as the heavens and to you are subject the earth and all creatures dwelling thereon. Your dominion reaches even down into the abyss of hell, and you alone, oh Mary, save us from the hands of Satan.” (11)


Pope Benedict XV declared, “To such extent did Mary suffer and almost die with her suffering and dying Son; to such extent did she surrender her maternal rights over her Son for: man’s salvation . . that we may rightly say she redeemed the human race together with Christ.” (12)


“God has committed to her the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is his will, that we obtain everything through Mary.” (Pope Pius IX: Encycl., Ubi primum, February 2, 1849.) — [p. 12, number 12]


“O Virgin most holy, none abounds in the knowledge of God except through thee; none, O Mother of God, obtains salvation except through thee, none receives a gift from the throne of mercy except through thee.” (Pope Leo XIII: Encycl., Adiutricem populi, September 5, 1895.) — [p. 12, no. 13]


“If it is impossible to separate what God has united, it is also certain that you cannot find Jesus except with Mary and through Mary.” (Pope Pius X: Allocution to the Franciscans, November 12, 1910.) — [p. 14, no. 20]


“Every day, as the Church herself recommends, priests will recite the Holy Rosary, which, by proposing for our meditation the mysteries of the Redeemer, leads us to Jesus through Mary.” (Pope Pius XII: Exhortation, Menti nostri, September 23, 1950) — [p. 14, no. 23]

They proclaim that salvation is ONLY through the Roman Catholic Church:​

Pope Francis I said “You cannot find Jesus outside the Church.” (13)


Pope Innocent III declares, “With our hearts we believe and with our lips we confess but one Church, not that of the heretics, but the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church, outside which we believe that no one is saved.” (14)


Pope Boniface VIII said, “We declare, assert, define and pronounce to be subject to the Roman Pontiff is to every creature altogether necessary for salvation… I have the authority of the King of Kings. I am all in all, and above all, so that God Himself and I, the Vicar of Christ, have but one consistory, and I am able to do almost all that God can do. What therefore, can you make of me but God?” (15)


Pope Pius IX said, “It must be held by faith that outside the Apostolic Roman Church, no one can be saved;” (16)


Pope Clement VI said, “No man outside obedience to the Pope of Rome can ultimately be saved. All who have raised themselves against the faith of the Roman Church, and died in final impenitence have been damned, and gone down to Hell.” (17)


Pope Leo XII said, “We profess that there is no salvation outside the (Catholic) Church. …For the Church is the pillar and ground of the truth. With reference to those words Augustine says: `If any man be outside the Church he will be excluded from the number of sons, and will not have God for Father since he has not the Church for mother.’” (18)


Acts 4:12 confirms that salvation is only through Jesus. “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Popes proclaim that Christians outside the Catholic Church aren’t saved:​

Pope Leo XIII said, “Remember and understand well that where Peter is, there is the Church; that those who refuse to associate in communion with the Chair of Peter belong to Antichrist, not to Christ. He who would separate himself from the Roman Pontiff has no further bond with Christ.” (19)


Pope Pius XII said, “O Mary Mother of Mercy and Refuge of Sinners! We beseech thee to look with pitying eyes on poor heretics and schismatics. Do thou, who art the Seat of Wisdom, enlighten the minds wretchedly enfolded in the darkness of ignorance and sin, that they may clearly recognize the Holy, Catholic, Roman Church to be the only true Church of Jesus Christ, outside of which neither sanctity nor salvation can be found.” (20)


Pope Pius XII said, “It is absolutely necessary that the Christian community be subject in all things to the Sovereign Pontiff if it wishes to be a part of the divinely-established society founded by our Redeemer.” (21)


Pope Eugene IV said, “No one, let his alms giving be as great as it may, no one, even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Jesus Christ, can be saved unless they abide within the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.” (22)


Pope John XXIII said, “Into this fold of Jesus Christ no man may enter unless he be led by the Sovereign Pontiff and only if they be united to him can men be saved…” (23)

Popes have repeatedly declared that Bibles are forbidden and should be burned:​

They forbid Bible reading, as it testifies to salvation by faith in Jesus Christ, not by works through the Papal Church. And it testifies that they are the Little Horn of Daniel, the Beast of Revelation, and the Pope, the Son of Perdition.


Pope Innocent III declared, “to be reproved are those who translate into French the Gospels, the letters of Paul, the psalter, etc. They are moved by a certain love of Scripture in order to explain them clandestinely and to preach them to one another. The mysteries of the faith are not to (be) explained rashly to anyone. Usually in fact, they cannot be understood by everyone but only by those who are qualified to understand them with informed intelligence. The depth of the divine Scriptures is such that not only the illiterate and uninitiated have difficulty understanding them, but also the educated and the gifted.” (24)


Pope Innocent III decreed, “We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament. …We forbid them most severely to have the above books in the popular vernacular.” (meaning in their country’s native language, as the Papal Church only allowed their priests to read it in Latin). (25)


Pope Pius IV said, “The Bible is not for the people; whosoever will be saved must renounce it. It is a forbidden book. Bible societies are satanic contrivances.” (26)


Pope Leo XIII declared, “As it has been clearly shown by experience that, if the holy Bible in the vernacular is generally permitted without any distinction, more harm than utility is thereby caused.” (27)
God had the Bible written in Hebrew and Greek, not Latin. God caused the Bible to be translated into French, German, English and other languages, so the Papal Church opposes the hand of God.


The reason they don’t forbid Bible reading now is that God used the advent of the printing press, and Bible societies to spread Bibles all over the world, so they can’t stop it.


Instead, they have infiltrated Bible publishers to create modern Bibles that remove words and change the meanings. Read Modern Bible Deception Verse Study

Popes proclaim all the world should submit to their authority or be killed:​

Pope Innocent III said, “Anyone who attempts to construe a personal view of God which conflicts with (Catholic) church dogma must be burned without pity.” (28)


Pope Gregory IX said, “The lords of the districts shall carefully seek out the ‘heretics’ in dwellings, hovels, and forests, and even their underground retreats shall be entirely wiped out.” – (29)


Pope Leo XIII said, “But the supreme teacher in the Church is the Roman Pontiff. Union of minds, therefore, requires, together with a perfect accord in the one faith, complete submission and obedience of will to the Church and to the Roman Pontiff, as to God Himself.” (30)
Historians estimate that the Roman Catholic Church caused over 50 million “heretics,” mostly Christians, to be killed during the Dark Ages and Inquisition, because they did not submit to the Papal Church. Read Killing The Two Witnesses Of Revelation 11


Pope Francis is trying to draw Muslims to him, but focusing on God, the Father; and saying that Jesus is his teacher, as Muslims believe that Jesus was a good teacher, but don’t believe that He was God. The Bible says that Jesus is the Creator and the Light of the World, so the Pope’s words oppose the Bible:
“Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being. Do you think we are very far apart?” (31)


Pope Francis implies that “Allah” and the God of the Bible are the same:
"I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you.” (32)
Pope Francis is drawing Jews to him."


Pope Francis also wrote that the Catholic Church holds “the Jewish people in special regard because their covenant with God has never been revoked.” (33)


In order to gather the world into the one religion of the New World Order (and away from salvation through Jesus), the Pope is drawing the major religions of Islam, Orthodox Christianity, Protestant Christian Churches, Judaism, and even atheists, to the Papal Church.

Below is what has been declared by Vatican Councils and in their Catechism:​

“We define that the Holy Apostolic See and the Roman Pontiff hold primacy over the whole world.” (34)


“All names which in the Scriptures are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that he is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.” (35)


“No one may possess the books of the Old and New Testaments in the Romance language (such as French, Italian, Spanish, etc.), and if anyone possesses them he must turn them over to the local bishop within eight days after the promulgation of this decree, so that they may be burned.” (36)


“The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth…by divine right the Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and every pastor and his flock. He is the true vicar, the head of the entire church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils; the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one, God himself on earth.” (37)


“We confess that the Pope has power of changing Scripture and of adding to it, and taking from it according to his will.” (38)
The Roman Catholic Church reveals that they worship Babylonian, Egyptian and Roman pagan gods, by the symbols and idols they use. Look at these Images of the Roman Catholic Church (new page).


The Popes of the Roman Catholic Church consistently sought to eliminate the Two Witnesses of the Word of God and the Church of Christ.

No. Look up "vicar". LOL

And for the record, your opinion of the RCC is of little significance to me as an Anglican. I do prefer their beliefs to the make-it-up-as-you-go rubbish that proudly illiterate backwoods Protestants tend to come up with.

By the bye, what do you think of the ancient Creeds of the Church? I'm keen to know.

So, you prefer their teaching that we must confess to a priest?

I'm a Protestant Historicist, and I defy any man to bring his "proof" to the table. Let's be clear: I studied long and hard to get AROUND from adopting my beliefs, until I realized there was no way around it because it is the only thing that stands the test of Biblical scrutiny.

You didn't even read it, did you? You just midlessly accept the mendacious rubbish you hear from crooked radio "preachers".

Makes sense now.

No, it's based on research, not radio dials.

That's not what He said, is it? You had to make up some claptyrap that you attached His name to so as to get around what He actually said. Shame!

Maybe you need to make up a few more verses to drive that point home.

If you understood that Christ is the God of the OT, then you'd realize how dumb it is to claim the Christ of the OT forbid the eating of blood (and directs flesh to be cooked, not eaten raw), only to come in the NT and command the opposite.

I'm making it up? Let's find out:

Popes have repeatedly claimed to be God:
​

Pope Pius X declared, “The Pope is not simply the representative of Jesus Christ. On the contrary, he is Jesus Christ Himself, under the veil of the flesh. Does the Pope speak? It is Jesus Christ who is speaking, hence, when anyone speaks of the Pope, it is not necessary to examine but to obey.” (7)

Satan never sleeps. Do not fall for hatred of your fellow man, do not spread statements about others until you have verified the statements. God does not want any of his people to spread lies and fabrications. I could go down the list, let's start with the first claim. You've picked up on an old anti-Catholic story from 1895 from a Protestant publication in regard to Cardinal Sarto, who did not become Pope Piux X until 1903. The Cardinal quickly produced the manuscript of what he had actually said: "The Pope REPRESENTS Jesus Christ Himself, and therefore is a loving father. The life of the Pope is a holocaust of love for the human family. His word is love; love, his weapon; love, the answer he gives to all who hate him; love, his flag, that is, the Cross, which signed the greatest triumph on Earth and in Heaven."
