General Content of 29 Web Sites by the same author Includes inserts of authors with similar belief Those who present themselves as spiritual leaders highly offend God when teaching Scriptures they do not properly understand. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work. (The scripture referred to by St. Paul is the Old Testament. The New Testament had not been assembled.) Mt. 16:19 Jesus said to Peter (the 1st moral pope, some are legal only popes): "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Jesus did not give Peter infallibility but did give him Church wide authority. No one, not even Peter or a successor of his office, had the authority to change any teachings of Old or New Testament Scripture. When Jesus said that "whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven", Jesus was making it clear that when Peter made a decision or regulation it could be changed by him or a successor to his office at some future time.
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingly power: proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching. For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths. But you, be self-possessed in all circumstances; put up with hardship; perform the work of an evangelist; fulfill your ministry. [ 2 Tim. 4:1-8 ] Omission of good has the same ultimate effect as commission of evil. Sins of Omission can be More Insidious than Sins of Commission. 1 Cor. 8:6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things are and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and through whom we exist. (see also: Eph. 4:5-6; 1 Cor. !:2-3; Col. 1:9-16) Mt. 19:25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, "Who then can be saved?" 26 Jesus looked at them and said, "For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible." 27 Then Peter said to him in reply, "We have given up everything and followed you. What will there be for us?" 28 Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you that you who have followed me, in the new age, when the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory, will yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Mk. 10:23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!" 24 The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to pass through (the) eye of (a) needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." 26 They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, "Then who can be saved?" 27 Jesus looked at them and said, "For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God." http://www.trosch.org/for/popesnce.htm Copyright © 2011 by Father David C.
