Thank you for your opinions. Of course, that's all they are. Since you are fallible, you are capable of being wrong on pretty much everything you profess. You really don't know for sure, do you. Doesn't this line of reasoning apply to yourself? So, I'm letting you in on something. Christ established the Catholic Church and He assured it that the successors to St. Peter would be infallible when speaking to the whole Church on matters of faith and morals. Christ did not establish the catholic church, he established his church and no-where can you demonstarte this promise of infallibility of popes by christ's words.This same infallible Pope, in passing down Christ's teachings, has proclaimed infallibly that there is no salvation for those outside of the Catholic Church. This proclamation by itsself proves you wrong You can ignore all of this and, as they say, be fat, dumb and happy in your uninformed, fallible beliefs. I am stunned by your arrogance and judgement. Or you can with an open and honest truth seeking heart and mind check out the actual claims made by the Catholic Church, with a willingness to go where the truth actually leads you. I have and I do, and so far have rejected it. It's your call. All I can do is point out something you are clearly oblivious to. Are you reading my mind or using a crystal ball? But realize, when you actually do face Christ upon your death, and He tells you the same thing I've just told you, you won't have the excuse of saying you had no way of knowing. You have yet to tell me anything or give me any reason to change my mind on this subject other than your own opinion. Which, by the way, is the same standard by which you condem me. I do not condem you for being a catholic christian. I assume you profess faith in Jesus Christ to save your soul. Or do you profess proper participation in your church and correct adherance to the popes' pronouncments to save you? One is salvation by the grace of god and the other is salvation by works. I am dependant on Jesus. What are you dependant on? Why don't you practice what you preached to me: Pray to God in Jesus' name and ask for guidance in this area. Then read your bible, by yourself, just you and God and his word. The experience will either challenge your beliefs or strengthen them. Nick, all my questions above are retorical - no need to respond unless you must. I don't really wish to continue this debate. I am certainly not learning anything about geocentrism here. To everyone else: I appologize. Here I am in the middle of one of those Christian/Catholic arguements that have no place on this forum. To make it worse, I even complained when others did it before me. Sorry everyone. --------------------------------- Sell on Yahoo! Auctions - No fees. Bid on great items.
