So acting in concert with satan is infallible in the eyes of God, who is the only One who matters?

Romans 3:10-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

10 As it is written:
“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”


But the catholic masses say this mere man, just another sinner, is infallible?

We can still practice our faith while he promotes socialism and world chaos.


But if catholics believe him to be the infallible leader, then he IS your faith; speaking only that and leading only in the way God has him do. But he is not that. You cannot worship two masters. It's either God the infallible or the pope infallible. And as scripture tells us, there are none on earth infallible (righteous).

John 14:6 New King James Version (NKJV)
cul
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

The pope has nothing at all to do with your faith or salvation.

.....that many do not choose to be a Catholic as in making a conscious decision as a child. Many are born to it and either choose to remain faithful, drift away or totally reject it.


If you are catholic, you choose to be catholic, as in making a conscious decision; just as could be your conscious choice to leave a cult led by a false prophet and come to the Father thru Jesus. No one else is coming, no one else is here. It's just Jesus, him alone. And accepting the reality of Jesus Christ, who he is, and who is the Father, is the only way to a relationship with the Holy Trinity and eternity in Heaven.

I say none of this from hatred or self righteousness. Though ridicule may come, I say these things as I am led. The longer I live and the shorter time I have left here, the more I value the admonition to voice the Gospel, the Good News, that Jesus Christ is "the way, the truth and the life". It's not complicated. God loves us and He sent his Son as a showing of that love. He's telling us to just accept Him as our Creator and to accept the plan He has for our life here on earth and for our eternal life through Jesus Christ. As Jesus said:

John 14 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Way, the Truth, and the Life

14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

Nothing about the pope, his underlings, HIS mansions and private kingdom, or his supposed infallibility. And nothing about preachers or deacons. On the contrary it's all about the personal relationship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The decision is ours. The choice is whether or not we accept the reality and infallibility of God, not the pope or any other mortal. Again, it's just Jesus. No one else is coming, no one else is here. It is Him and Him alone that can take us to the Promised Land.


Thanks, Shootem for a great post.
