I would hope not "never" but it is a sizeable gulf.

Luke 16:26 and the great "chasm/gulf".

Luke 16:26 And upon all of these between us[Protestants/EOs] and ye[RCs] a great chasm hath been established
so that those willing to cross-over/diabhnai <1224> (5629) hence toward ye no may be able,
neither thence toward us may be ferrying/diaperwsin <1276> (5725)

Didn't you know the pope can declare divine law?
You should see my thread, "Pope, king of the world"
Laughable right?

Wow...I did not know that! That is quite appalling.

You want to know what is so sad about all you shared about the pope? Nowhere in all that you shared was it mentioned where God taught him. All you shared about him is his head knowledge.

You shared how much he studied about God, from what man has taught about God.

Paul told us that one couldn&#8217;t come to know God unless God teaches him or her about God.

(1 Corinthians 2:10-16) &#8220;These are the very things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit, for the Spirit reaches the depts. Of everything, even the depths of God. After all, the depths of a man can only be known by his own spirit, not by any other man, and in the same way the depths of God can only be known by the Spirit of God. Now instead of the spirit of the world, we have received the Spirit that comes from God, to teach us to understand the gifts that he has given us. Therefore we teach, not in the way in which philosophy is taught, but in the way that the Spirit teaches us: we teach spiritual things spiritually.A spiritual man, on the other hand, is able to judge the value of everything and his own value in not to be judged by other men. As scripture says;&#8217; who can know the mind of the Lord, so who can teach him?&#8217; But we are those who have the mind of Christ.&#8221;

Well said, brother. That is true. God bless you.

"And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 (emphasis added)

*The font you chose is a bit hard on my eyes.* :sorry:

Theres a lot of people here who think they know everything about the Bible. so i looked up the pope and found this and i want to know who knows as much as he does,


I left all the listed "credentials" out for the sake of keeping this post as short as possible.

That is quite an achievement in studies, all in catholic circles of catholic teaching.

There are men in every denomination that have just as extensive of an "education" in their denominational circles of their denominational teachings.

There are men that are not of a certain denomination that have just as extensive of an "education" in their circles. The exception here is that many of them have studied what others have learned and have kept what was scripture and tossed out what was not.

The latter I have learned are actually the most knowledgeable, anointed, spiritually powerful and are far more capable in the anointing from the Holy Spirit to reach the lost with the message of Jesus as well as to teach people how to live a Christian Life after they are saved.

The thing I have learned also is that there are men from catholic backgrounds that are doing this.

There are men from denominations including non denominations that are in this category.

However very few from catholic churches, very few from denominational churches and very few from non denominational churches are in that catagory.

The key it seems is the willingness in each of these men regardless if from a catholic background, a denominational background, a non denominational background.

The key is the willingness to not restrict the Holy Spirit to what one denomination or religious organization believes but to allow the Holy Spirit to direct with the motive of the individual being to meet the needs of people.

That is God's heart. God wants every person to be saved. Every person to be healed. Every person to learn how to have life and have it abundantly.

With all due respect to the Pope He does not have that willingness nor does Leaders of other Churches or religious orginazations.

Even though the members of each will argue that they do.

That is because each of us argue from the circle of what we know, see and feel, from what is "ours" and have no exposure to the powers for living that be in other circles.

I mean let's be real, even if someone here did have credentials that matched that of the Pope's you'd still think that they weren't on the same level.


i just want to know how so many grown men who don't even have a job since youre sitting around on the computer know what the bible says better than the pope. all you can answer with is a bunch of h8in. five pages of h8in and nobody can answer my question. thats all i needed to know.

I have a job but it gets done better without my interference.

I would like to share a little story relating to your post.

One time while living in a tent with my wife and three young babies, one of them spilled something on the tent floor. I trying to teach one of the baby’s responsibilities was directing her to clean up her mess. It was taking so long for her to clean it up, that I was thinking it would have been better if I had done it my self. Jesus spoke to me and said: that he could do what he wants me to do, much better then I can do it, but he chose to use me anyway.

Yes Jesus can do it better, but if he tells us to do something one better do it.
