[ Do you believe that Pope Benedict XVI is the antiChrist? ]

Gee I dunno.. You have asked this question so many times it must have merit.. I didn't think Benny was all that important.. The ANTI-Christ?.. Its been said that he is NOT anti-christ but indeed thinks he "IS" CHRIST...

I don't buy it.. How can you "act" like the wafer becomes CHrist if you ARE CHRIST.. it would spoil the act.. then you got the wine and blood thing.. Too messy for a German..

The good Dr. E. has coyly hinted that she either does or does not believe that the Pope is the antiChrist but so far has refused to answer directly.

From what I’ve seen I think that she does but is unwilling to come out directly and say it.

***I realize you’re having trouble keeping up with your own posts between all the sarcasm and personal attacks you’re leveling at Bible-believing Christians, but try harder. ***

I’m not sure what you believe in, but based upon your posts, it does not appear to be the Bible that I am familiar with. Possibly it has been abridged to the point where it means the opposite of its intent, much like certain posts of mine that have been excerpted and twisted to mean the opposite of their intent.

We're sure gettin' some nasty religion arguments going on in The FRee World.

With so many posts which turn to blows between Protestants and Catholics, I wonder if we're becoming a religion site instead of a political site.

Speaking as a Presbyterian, I've never in my life heard of a Presbyterian denying Sola Scriptura.

My first guess would be Cumberland - not much theological rigor there.

My second guess would be PCUSA - they don't even have to be Christians, much less Calvinists.

What I have read is she said the Pope makes himself CHRIST in some aspect.. not the anti-christ.. Its YOU that used the anti-christ accusation.. Now if making yourself christ makes you the anti-christ, well then both might be true..

Yus, the trooth borrs sum peepul becuz thay prefur thuh darkiss to thuh lite.

Yes. They're known as Calvinists.

[Petronski]

Its been said that he is NOT anti-christ but indeed thinks he "IS" CHRIST...

Said by whom? Post a link.

[Petronski]

I said no such thing. You’re capable of some amazing falsehoods.

[ I said no such thing. You’re capable of some amazing falsehoods. ]

You said what to whom, when?..

[Iscool]

Luke 1:28 uses the perfect past participle, "Kecharitomene."

χαριτόω

charitoō

khar-ee-to'-o

From G5485; to grace, that is, indue with special honor: - make accepted, be highly favoured.

But then, unlike a lot of Protestants, we don’t keep Him on the hall stand and rub His head for luck when we walk by.

Well sure you do...Well, maybe you don't...But you keep Mary on the hall stand...And on the front lawn...Seen her there myself...

I used to keep a rabbit's foot for luck...Then I decided since I have his foot, he wasn't so lucky after all...

What fascinating insights, dear brother in Christ! Thank you for sharing them! The gemstones are "pregnant" metaphors.

[SeaHawkFan]

What I find amusing is how the obvious issue is being missed entirely. Shouldn't the larger issue for the author be that when Protestants research the first thousand years of Christianity, they do not find any trace of their core beliefs?

You've not heard of the Holy Bible; the inspired WORD OF GOD?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Yus, the trooth borrs sum peepul becuz thay prefur thuh darkiss to thuh lite.

You put those words in italics which implies I wrote those words as you wrote them which is a lie.

I give you creidt, however. You manage to find new ways to break the FR rules every day.

Think that's interesting? Try asking her what she thinks of the preaching and ministry of Billy Graham.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

From the explanation given, a third guess would be someone wasn’t really a Presbyterian.

Putting words in another poster's mouth is "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
