Gen 1:28
“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth”
But the anti-rabbit Papa Tango is worried about “Mother Earth”:
“God always forgives, but the earth does not...Take care of the earth so it does not respond with destruction.”
The Holy Spirit is screaming at you.
Revelation 18:4 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
“Come out of her, my people,
so that you do not take part in her sins,
and so that you do not share in her plagues;
“The Pope wants to take this Church renovation to the point where it becomes irreversible.”
Fundamental transformation....of the Catholic church.
This pope is the obama of the catholic church.
““Rabbitgate” may be as much a turning point in the Bergoglian pontificate as Watergate was for Richard Nixon”
Not a chance - Unlike Nixon he’s got the media on his side... even more than Obama. He will double down at the earliest opportunity which will come with his pronouncements on global warming, if not sooner.
Genesis 1
English Standard Version (ESV)
26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Disgusting. His perverse opinions and priorities raise legitimate questions.
"Pope Homo? Francis Approved Homoerotic Synod Text, Says Cardinal"
Agree.
Yes. The Holy Spirit says: “Come out of her, and join the 40,000 Protestant churches I have founded.”
This misses the point, of course. The point is an attitude adjustment which may or may not entail worshiping the Lord together with a different denomination. Believe it or not, Luther did not want a “second denomination.” He wanted to get rid of the idea of denominations.
Yacks about a text that it presents no link to.
For all the concerns over Pope Francis, sometimes the rebukes are even more man centered than he is.
Considering that Jesus said he was founding a Church, which would never teach error, and which would exist until the end of the world, it seems highly probable that somewhere in the world right now there is the Church Jesus founded. Since that Church would enjoy the infallibility Jesus promised, it follows that no church that does not claim that infallibility could be the one Jesus founded.
The classic evangelical answer is that it is the collective body of all believers. This cuts across all denominations (well, it would skip those without believers).
I don’t know about an infallibility claim — the historical church has made a lot of mistakes — but a promise that the gates of hades won’t prevail against it is realistic because it is rooted in permanent salvations. Evangelicals do assert that the closer to the Holy Spirit you get, the more reliable your doctrine will be. If you fail to avail yourself of that and thereby sin, it isn’t God’s fault but yours.
Namely — I think that being folded into the starting assumptions is that we have to have some denomination that is the Utterly Correct Church.
But if we dismiss that assumption, we still do not come up with illogic. We have a church that frequently stumbles but never completely falls, and which still has a positive promise to look to, that of the fruits of the degree of individual dedication to the Lord it shows.
Anyhow, I believe by virtue of the Lord I have met and who sticks along with me no matter how bad I muff it. This is something that goes to a mystic, supernatural level and it is tangible every day. The church is part of His promise and I am part of it by virtue of the salvation He has bestowed. How well I live as a Christian depends on what I do with Jesus in my life. How well the worship organizations I worship with do managing as churches, depends on what they do with Jesus in their lives. The more faithful to the Lord, the better the results.
Though you may not (yet) agree, I think you can probably see why evangelicals view the concept of a One Correct Roman Catholic Church as a phenomenon of religion among men.
“Cardinal Baldisseri confirms Pope Francis directed inclusion of heterodox statements in Synod final “Relatio””
“...For the first time in history, an official Church document – of the most dubious authority, it is true, but the vast majority are ignorant of that fact – says that the Church should examine opening up Communion to adulterers and that those drawn to acts of sodomy have special “gifts.” ...”
