Lance~ you will not get off the hook that easy; you clearly stated, "we have no idea why people are same sex attracted. This is a cross that God, for His own reasons, ASKS THEM TO BEAR". explain
Why would a Holy God, who desires all men to be saved, inflict this kind of perversion on anyone? God is HOLY, He is not capable of doing evil, never would He tempt anyone with any kind of evil. You study the rcc 'doctrine' religiously, yet you are clueless as to the attributes of the One True God. These are only found in His word alone. Your head is filled with man's doctrine, but your heart has nary a clue of the Father, His Son, and His Spirit. If it doesn't come as a teaching of men {in your case, solely from the RCC}, you discard it. The god you worship is a god the RCC tells you to worship, then lays out a step by step procedure on how to do so. The sad part is, you have missed out. You don't have to 'work' for salvation, it is His gift, it is free, He alone gives it. Nothing you do will merit 'worth'. You don't understand 'grace' and 'mercy'. |

Lance~the RCC teaches about this office of papacy, BUT where is this teaching found in the Bible? What passage clearly states and uses your term 'pope' as being set up? Other offices are clearly set up, such as the office of apostle, bishop/elder, and deacon. But, where is this office of papacy taught?
Why does Christ need a sinner to oversee and ensure His teaching? Now you are saying the Holy Spirit is not capable of fulfilling His role as teacher {Luke 12:12, John 14:26, 1 John 2:27}.
You RCC folk seem to change your story, you proclaim the pope as 'head', beginning with Peter being the first pope and head {even though scripture does not teach infallibility or successors}; now you are switching your story. You're weaving a massive web.
Your claim of 'papacy' cannot be proven by scripture because it isn't taught. Your religion stands or falls on this imaginary 'office', yet it doesn't exist. Christ never established such an office, the church is built by Christ, the foundation {which all point right back to the true "rock", Christ} being laid by the apostles and prophets {Eph. 2:20}, that is what Gods' infallible word teaches. |

Lance~ you say, 'we have no idea why some people are same-sex attracted. This is a cross that God, for his own reasons, asks them to bear'...This is a LIE!! Because you place little to no importance on studying the word of God, you have NO CLUE to the origin of sin. Homosexuality is birthed out of lust, which lies within the heart of man. Every human heart is wicked {Jer. 17:9}, the blame for homosexual sex does NOT lie with God, it lies with the doer of the act. "Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted by God'; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself TEMPT ANYONE. But, each one is tempted when he is drawn away by HIS OWN DESIRES and enticed." James 1:13,14
You need to run from the apostate church to which you belong while there is still time, the road to your church door is broad and wide. |

One does not earn the title of 'homosexual' by being tempted alone, one earns that 'title' by acting upon what is in their heart. This is sin, not a 'condition', like an illness. YOU seem to 'equate' homosexuality as some sort of medical or mental state. A person isn't called a sodomite/homosexual simply because the thought crossed their mind.
My initial point was the lighthearted approach by your RCC concerning this abomination. NOWHERE does the catechism of the RCC state the need of repentance, NO WHERE is it called what the Bible calls it, an 'abomination'.
You said, 'of course homosexuality{that is, same sex attraction} is a 'condition'. Where is that taught in God's word? Again, the actual act of same sex is homosexuality: even to look upon another with the thought, or intent of lustful desire is sin Lance, read the teachings of Christ in Matt. 5:28. Our thoughts, words, and actions are all sinful, and we will be held accountable for them, apart from repentance {which is NOT possible apart from God's intervention}, and having the seal of God's Holy Spirit within our hearts. A changed life is evidence of true salvation. |

GG~ If Peter were the pope, and all popes since him are head over the church, what do you do with these verses...
Eph. 1:22,23-"And gave Him to be head over ALL things to the church, which is His body"
Col. 1:18-"And He is the head of the body, the church"
Eph. 5:23-"As also Christ is head of the church and gave Himself for her"
To say that there are two heads {Christ and the pope} would be spiritual adultery.
1 Cor. 11:3-"The head of every man is Christ"
Now if Christ would have established an office of papacy, then why was it never mentioned plainly, specifically, and clearly in the Bible? This would mean the bible contradicts, which is impossible.
All the aforementioned passages contradict any such heretical teaching of a succession of mortal, sinful men being head over the called out ones of Jesus Christ.
DJC49, thank you for your truth-filled comment. |

GG~ 1.As for the Levitical priesthood, we are no longer under the old covenant.
2. The Bible is NOT the writers 'point of view'. Do you even read other people's posts? Read 2 Timothy 3:16, "ALL SCRIPTURE {this includes the Pauline epistles} is given by inspiration of GOD"
"NO prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but HOLY MEN of GOD spoke as they were {pay attention GG} moved by the Holy Spirit" 2 Peter 1:20.21
3. you say, 'why does he need men and women to preach and baptize'..He doesn't.
4. Isaiah 22:21, 'father' means 'chief, principal~it's Hebrew term is 'awb'
Where in scripture would I find the teaching of binding and loosing as pertaining to 'infallibility', and 'successor'?
The bible names several offices, and describes their qualifications and work, for example 1. apostles, Eph. 4:11, Mat. 10:2-4, Luke 6:13-16~ qualifications, Acts 1:21-26, 2 Cor. 12:11,12~work, Eph. 3:3-5, Acts 1-:39-41. Other offices named are elders/bishops and deacons. 'Pope' is never named as an office.
Why did Paul rebuke Peter in Gal. 2:11? |

GG~ the WHOLE BIBLE is God's word, so to say Paul's teachings differ from Christ's is insane. But, in order to the apostate teachings of the RCC to make sense to you, the word of God must be twisted, diluted, added to, subtracted from, and considered 'not valid' to stand by itself.
2 Timothy 3:16 "ALL scripture is given by {who?} inspiration of GOD".
Christ says, "UPON THIS ROCK", this is a reference to the meaning of the word 'rock'. If He were speaking DIRECTLY to Peter, why didn't He say, "UPON YOU PETER". Your argument is invalid.
There is NO DIFFERENCE between Mat. 16, and Eph. 2:20. Christ is the true rock, the teachings of the prophets and apostles, which all point to Christ, are what He uses to bring people into God's kingdom. Again I ask, If Peter were the 'rock' why did the Apostle Paul rebuke him so sharply in Galatians 2:11? It would of been wrong for Paul to dare do such a thing if indeed Peter were in charge. Peter himself says what he truly is, he gives his title in 1 Peter 5:1, "as a fellow ELDER". Let's not pick what we want to believe and discard the rest. Where is 'infallibility' or 'successors' taught in scripture? |

Also, 2358 is a muddied attempt at man's teaching, in this case the RCC, against homosexuality with NO scriptural support or basis...'they must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity {sounds like the emerging church and the push for tolerance}. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives {how is it possible to do this when you are living apart from that will?}, and if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's cross the difficulties they may encounter from their 'condition'.~Is that what the RCC teaches concerning what Gods word distinctly calls an abomination? It is just a mere 'condition'? No wonder the RCC priests are sodomites. 2359 is equally disturbing and should be rendered worthless.
The RCC has NO EFFECT for Christ in reaching the lost because they do not even have the Gospel right. They have instilled their 'doctrine', which holds no power, and watered down the scriptures, they have blended heresy with truth and concocted a deadly poison in the process. No wonder sodomy is flourishing in places where Catholicism is the dominant 'religion'. |

Passingby~ you bring up an excellent truth, pride and arrogance are alive and well. It brings to light this passage, "But know this, that in the last days, perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy," 2 Timothy 3:1,2.
This article is an absolute lie. You simply cannot live in sin and be in line with God's word. This type of garbage is what Jude warns of, as well as our Lord, in Matthew 24. False teachers and false prophets will increase more and more, spewing out lies such as this. May we all continue to stand firm. |

GG- another disturbing comment from you, you believe "people may believe in one God, the creator God, of which there is only one, and not know him personally, or know his character, and yet worship him in their ignorance{i.e.-Muslims, Native American Indians}"
That is in direct contrast and violation with what Christ teaches in John 14:6,"I am the way, the truth, and the life, NO ONE cometh to the Father but by me". There is NO ACCESS to God the Father apart from God the Son."He that hath the Son hath life, he that hath not the Son of God hath not life" 1 John 5:12
False teaching is a result of men taking God's word and adding to and subtracting from what it says. All who do so will be destroyed by God. |

GG- you say Catholics worship the God for whom the statue is a reminder.
Deuteronomy 4:15,16~"You so NO FORM of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore, watch yourselves very carefully, so that you do not become corrupt and MAKE for yourselves an idol, an image of ANY SHAPE, whether formed like a man or a woman."
"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth". John 4:23,24
We are commanded in Deuteronomy not to even attempt to make an idol of His image, in any way, shape or form, let alone bow to it and pretend it likens a Holy God. Bowing to and praying to a statue is indeed idolatry. We worship God as His Spirit leads, according to the truth revealed in His word as to who He is. That is acceptable worship. |

This is a sermon that all who profess Christianity should listen to. This man preaches under the power of the Holy Spirit of Almighty God. May God raise up more Godly men to preach with authority and conviction like He has done with Pastor Washer. |

“ Great Sermon! ”
This message is a must listen for all who profess the name of Jesus Christ. Praise God for raising up a man to boldly profess His truth; a message that is much needed in the church today. May God be honored and glorified, He is worthy. |
