ArchivedWhy pray to Mary?Webmaster Wrote: And what specific evils are you talking about? Tradition? Just because Martin Luther and a number of other key reformers disagreed in certain traditions doesnt mean they are evil. What is more evil is going against the word of God, and causing denominationalism. That "dictator" is a man of peace, a shepherd to his flock and a successor of St Peter. Who is better known as John Paul II. You dont have a "dictator" thats why Protestanism is in utter chaos.

This subject is one of supreme importance in considering the very nature of the Church and how it is to be governed. In fact, one of the most basic divisions between Protestants and Catholics is premised on this subject. Much Protestant theology is based on the notion that Christianity is primarily an individual experience. That we may have "leaders" so to speak, but that these leaders have no ultimate authority over us that comes directly from God. In other words, the authority of a Protestant minister, bishop, elder, etc. is drawn from the people, not from God. A pastor has authority over me because I choose to submit to him; but if I do not agree with him, I am free to remove myself from under him. Something again that is non biblical. Only the Catholic Church makes the claim that it was established by Jesus Christ in Matthew 16:18 and can trace the line of popes all the way back to Peter. This is a claim of direct authority by God and, if proven true, seems to indicate that Jesus wanted us to attend the Catholic Church. All other Christian churches were created by men revolting against this original church - why not be part of the original? In good Faith |
