At one time in history the only Christians were the Catholics. The Catholic Church is still christian. Pope Francis in writing the beatitudes was shedding light. Apostle John wrote to walk in the light. He said in God is no darkness. So Francis was showing us how to walk in that light more clearly. What is wrong with that. I know I need to walk in the light more and more. I was studying 1Thess 4 last night. It was saying how to walk in a way that will please God. Does anyone think that because we have faith we will automatically walk in the light? No because we still have the old man in us. The sin nature remains in us till christ comes. So we war with the sin nature and walk by the spirit. That is why the Apostles gave us commandments. Like in 1Thess 4 Paul wrote this is the commandment we gave you . The commandments they have given us through the new covenant is to give us light . So we can see as we walk with God. There more to Christianity then to have faith. Faith is the beginning. Then you have to add to your faith. Read 2 Peter. Peter said if you lack these things you have forgotten that you were forgiven your sins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it was the catholic church and its traditions that saved Christianity? I think it was God that uplifted the Church, in Constantine's era, and formed the Catholic Church. And that Church carried out God's Will in spreading the Gospel... for centuries. Edited November 11, 2016 by Teditis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Jesus said, do what they tell you, not what they do. Peace mark Mark - One day, in the twinkling of an eye, you're suddenly going to realize the error of your humanist reasoning. With Christian love brother, I sincerely hope you pray to the Lord for spiritual truth and discernment in the word of God. That He may open your heart to the truth, and not the traditions and fallibility of man that leads us astray. I prayed and asked the Lord to speak to your heart. Pro 3: 5-6 (KJV) 5. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. God Bless you.

Not the catholic church. There were plenty of Christians outside the catholic church even in the early days. Well know there weren't, please study history my friend....or don't ;-).

Chaos happens all the time. There are natural disasters. There is sin. We live in a fallen world. Adding to the word of God (Bible) is wrong. Yet as someone else already pointed out a lot of what the Pope said is already in the Bible. God bless, GE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so true! A person can read the Bible and have a very different view on a given passage. Yet there is one Holy Spirit that guides us all.
