Hi Smokey,
I agree with him. However, I would have preferred he make his statement a wee bit more explicit, such as:
"Jesus is the ONLY Gate, the ONLY WAY, through which everyone may, and must, gain entrance into heaven."
This would leave NO doubt that salvation is through Jesus Christ ONLY -- and NOT through any church organization, or by any other means.
But, as a man, although I could never look to him as my leader -- I do admire him for what he has accomplished. And, I do believe he is a sincere, devout man -- albeit, following a confused theology.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
Confused theology? That is the pot calling the kettle black. There is nothing confused about this Pope or his theology!! Praised be Jesus forever!!

That includes NOT through you and your twisted sense of Christianity?

Hi Smokey,
My Christian faith comes from ONLY the Bible. His comes from Roman Catholic Catechisms, Roman Catholic traditions and doctrines, the Apocrypha, other early Roman writings, and a wee bit from the Bible. How could he go wrong? Okay!
I will stick with the Big 66 and leave all those man-made traditions and writings to the Vatican.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

It took over 1600 years to write the bible. Yet you think those 66 books, you seem to worship, aren't man made too?

You agree with the Pope's statement? Than how do you go from that to attacking the Catholic Church?
