Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? are not also his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in regard of him. (Mark 6:3)We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12)
Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body. (Matthew 26:26)
But is the Church similarly confused?
He that heareth you, heareth me (Luke 10:16)18 ...upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. (Matthew 16, Matthew 18:18 similar)
I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren (Luke 22:32)
But it's no coincidence Ignatius began the Jesuits whose raison d'etre was to undermine and destroy the Reformation through subversion and guile.
IGNASIUS LOYOLA: "To be right in everything, we ought always to hold that the white which I see, is black, if the Hierarchical Church so decides it"
This statement (and various RC apologists' defense of it) tell us that in the Roman Catholic church, power is more important than the truth.
A much better statement, a clearer truth that actually glorifies God, would have been to say "the church will always say black is black and white is white because the church is not deceitful and the church does not lead men astray through duplicity."
"Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it." -- Psalm 119:40
Maybe the reason Roman Catholics seem to disregard so much of God's word is because they do not believe it to be "pure" and therefore, they do not love it.
