I believe God.

You pick and choose which verses you believe, and then most of the time you post them out of context.  Justified means having been shown to be just or right, or warranted or well-grounded. It does not mean you are saved.  Our works are a reflection of Christ within.  It's how we demonstrate our faith to others, and demonstrate that we live what we espouse.

As you learned earlier, the Church encouraged reading of the Bible,

Throughout history, the Catholic Church has had a complex relationship with Bible reading. While it is true that the Church historically discouraged individual Bible reading, labeling it as dangerous or not feasible for the average believer, it is important to understand the underlying dynamics behind this stance.  source

"Since it is clear from experience that if the Sacred Books are permitted everywhere and without discrimination in the vernacular (meaning the common language), there will by reason of the boldness of men arise therefrom more harm than good, the matter is in this respect left to the judgment of the bishop or inquisitor, who may with the advice of the pastor or confessor permit the reading of the Sacred Books translated into the vernacular by Catholic authors to those who they know will derive from such reading no harm but rather an increase of faith and piety, which permission they must have in writing.  Those, however, who presume to read or possess them without such permission may not receive absolution from their sins till they have handed them over to the ordinary."  From the Council of Trent, 1546.  Source

The Catholic church had reasons to discourage Bible reading.  They invented things not in the Bible.  These include: Purgatory, the Immaculate Conception of Mary, Papal Infallibility, Transubstantiation, Priestly Celibacy, Indulgences, the ascension of Mary, Guardian Angels, Holy Water, repetitious prayers, Canonization of Saints, Limbo, prayers to intercessors, the establishment of a Pope, and calling a religious leader "Father."  Jesus said "Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."

Many of these heresies were fabricated by Augustine of Hippo.

The Tridentine Index of 1564 presented ten rules that were established by the Council of Trent to control the censorship of texts. In the Index librorum prohibitorum that accompanies the Council’s decrees, the ten rules were reprinted in full. These are summarized in English below:

1. All books condemned by popes or councils before 1515 will remain prohibited.
2. All books by “heresiarchs” (heretical leaders) and theological books by heretics are prohibited.
3. Heretics’ Bible translations are banned; heretics’ translations of other texts require approval.
4. Vernacular translations of the Bible by Catholic scholars require approval.
5. Compilations of earlier works edited by heretics require correction and approval.
6. Theological writings in vernacular languages require correction and approval.
7. Obscene or immoral works are prohibited; Classical works may be read by adults.
8. Books that are generally sound, but which contain isolated heresies must be corrected.
9. All books treating magic, superstition, astrology, or occult practices are prohibited.
10. The bishop and the inquisitor require all books to be licensed prior to publication.

I'm  surprised that someone who claims to be Christian would repeat that lie.  As you learned earlier, the Church encouraged reading of the Bible, and published the Douay translation to make it easier for English-speaking Christians to read the  Bible.

Don't repeat lies by non-Christians against Christians.

Celibacy of priests is a discipline, not a doctrine.   It could change tomorrow, if the Church chose to do it.  

Ironically, it was imposed to prevent corruption in the Church.

You've let your anger at Christians who don't follow your new doctrines override your love of God.

It resulted in the homosexual rape of young boys and a subsequent cover-up by the Vatican.

That applies to clergymen how, exactly?

Were that true, the writings of Augustine would have been banned.  Amazingly, the Church of Rome has many heresies enshrined in their traditions.  I’ve listed some of them for you.

You were claiming that we couldn't call anyone "father."    As you see, that's wrong.   Or are you claiming that a clergyman with children can't have them calling him "father?"   

You seem pretty confused here.

How do you figure the Vatican is responsible for Protestant clergy abusing young boys?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
