Malachi welcome to the forum and to the lions den. Since you started this thread and we spoke in the BIBLE study room not catholic heresy room. You are now in a place where you HAVE to use the Bible as the ONLY reference or you will FAIL in all your attempts to make the catholic church THE CHURCH Jesus Himself is head of.
First thing. the pope is ELECTED by sinners to represent them as their leaders.... Jesus is GIVEN as the HEAD of the PERFECT GODLY CHURCH... Look at this church then you compare your shurch with this one.. And if your church fall short... RUN young man, they will drag you into the pit with them....That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
I already showed you MUCH blemish in your teaching and church, and you hardened your heart to the WASHING OF THE WORD I gave you. Your church is NOT glorious. Look what God says about HIS CHURCH.... it is GLORIOUS... And in that Glory is NO SIN!
Holy means ... NO SIN... Holy is God. In Him is NO SIN. In His Church is NO SIN. No sin like this NO SIN.... All who are in the church of God is there because they are BORN OF GOD. Not blessed by pope, they are BORN OF GOD....
Look here... 1 John 3:9.. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
And here.... 1 Joh 5:18... We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
1Jn 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
Also look at a thread here in the Bible study forum of a you-tube clip where the pope does real bad things... The thread is called. The pope declares himself anti-christ and.... and give me your thoughts on this clip. You should know if this is true or not.
It was started by servantotehmosthigh... give us your take on the clip ok...
