Pope Francis: His name reflects ‘his ministry for the poor’

Good :godisgood:

 

I notice, C.T.Boy that you are not going to tell me where I am wrong. It's easy to call people liars, while you hide.

What happens to people who die without Christ ?

 

You ask a good question EWF. I found this article which denies that is the case and says there is nothing to be concerned about:

I apologize, and I humbly thank you for clearing it up. I

Now, back on the subject. And this deals with your position on those who die without Christ. What good does a humble life do the unsaved ?

 

Then why the emphasis on humility ? Why ignore the obvious GRAVE scriptural errors the church holds as doctrine, and praise him for his humility ?

Do you know what kind of money the Catholic church takes from third world nations ? How do you think they ammassed their wealth and power ?
Why praise it at all ? What good does a humble leader of a false church do the world ?

I'm all for charity, but that is not the central mission of the church.

Besides, there are countless fundy baptist churches, and other denominations, that help the poor and don't get praised for it, nor do they seek praise for it.

 

First, I consider "leader of a false church" to be one of his attributes.

Second, if he tries, he won't be pope long.

Third. LOL. Tell us about Jonah's "heart of charity", or perhaps Elijah's. What you are saying isn't true. It's the Holy Spirit that moves peop[le, not charity.

Fourth, let any credit be God's. We are not to brag about our giving, nor are we to worry about how much we feel other's do, or don't give.

 

My personal opinion is that the new pope will talk much about helping the poor but his first task is to get the RCC back on track. The last two popes, nice as they are, ruled over a church that is knee deep in internal strife. So the new pope if he wants to be sucessful will need to reform the inner workings of the RCC.

Time will tell but my gut says he was selected for reasons other than reform. 500 years ago the church simply purged those deemed troublesome. These days the RCC seems to have little influence and even less control over those within who practice ouside the laws and traditions of the church.

 

First, charity has nothing to do with salvation. To spread the gospel of the saving power of the blood of Christ is our mission, first and foremost.

Second, if you truly agree with me, than I expect your claims of me hating the poor and not giving enough will cease immediately.

 

So how do we witness to the rich ?

And just where did I say I was against showing charity ? I am against wearing it on your sleeve, but I have said I'm all for charity. The rest you are making up. Like the Pharisee, you have no idea how much I give. You should apologize for your slander.
