Beautiful explaining by Deacon, our Lord is not going to change, his teachings, but we change to his teachings. Amen.
I love this episode. It has opened my mind to alot that has been mentioned. Thank you Deacon for your explanation & ladies for your questions! Very relevant topics!
Excellent episode! And Deacon Clarence really helped to clarify so many misconceptions and myths people have about the papacy.
Well done , Deacon Clarence! I’ve learnt quite a bit from your knowledgeable sharing. 👍
Deacon in da house
Thanks deacon Clarence for clarifying..that one should discern what is infallibility even from what the honorable Pope say as even the Pope as a person is not without sin , and may make mistakes .
I like your emphasis that the discern of truth and error should be referring to already established church teaching . Since the Canon the Bible is already written and closed by 1st century ..
Then Any other doctrine should be discern from the Bible. And if there is anything extra Biblical we should consider as not infallible, even it’s from the Pope.
This makes our faith so much more clear and simple and less susceptible to the weakness and error of interpretation by man , even our human leaders.
We can also be confident by the 3rd century Nicene creed , that summarizes the apostolic biblical doctrine should be the foundation of examining all other doctrines.
With the Bible as foundation we can then examine all teaching and doctrines , even the pope ex cathedra doctrines from the Pope or councils.
Very good point that you make that Pope Francis statements are not infallible if we doubt the agreement with the Bible .
Just discern from the Bible make it so clear and simple for my faith ..
Certainly I agree with you we should have the attitude of the noble Bereans in Acts 17 who examine theOT Scriptures when Paul presented them the gospel .
God bless .
Heresies are not always associated with something immorally bad. (Eg a heretic Christian can outwardly reject the doctrine & theology relating to any one of the sacraments, but he can still strive to live a good and honest life according to his own conscience)
As long as it deviates from the official teaching of the Church, it is a heresy.
Because Matthew 16:19 the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Meaning the Church will ALWAYS be on earth. thats 1. number 2, Matthias was appointed to TAKE OVER from Judas, it shows that it is an OFFICE.
Those are good points!
Very useful. If I understand correctly, the pope does not change that Jesus Christ is our Lord and high priest. Worship the Lord our God in Spirit and Truth. It would help if the questions are posed to help strengthen and increase understanding of our faith. It's a bit confusing when questions of personal curiosity is posed.
