[/quote] Whatever! He's not the head of my church. I believe what the bible says only and not man (nor Pope). [/quote] trusting in paper instead of flesh....interesting [/quote] HA! Word of God, not paper! KJV John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed they that have not seen, and have believed. [/quote] can't one speak the word of God without a book ? [/quote] Sure, I share the word of God in person, quote it word for word and often refer to it. It's up to the listener to make up his mind to believe it or not. [/quote] that is not what i am asking-- can one speak the word of God without a Bible of any kind whatsoever ? [/quote] You mean to prophecy, speak the word of God? I believe a person could speak what God has told them to speak. God still speaks through people. [/quote] So one can know God with or without a Bible ? Basically, can one know God without a Bible whatsoever ? [/quote] If i was to to a foreign country and share what Jesus Christ did for them and they didn't have the bible, but I shared the word of God then they can receive the gift of salvation and know God through prayer.

Wow!!!
Pope Francis has been very clear about how he feels about ideological purity in religion. He’s been particularly critical of right-wing Christian fundamentalism. Pope Francis has shifted the focus of the Catholic Church to issues facing the poor and the sick. He has railed against economic inequality and has criticized the anti-gay and anti-abortion strains that have come to dominate the Christian Right here in America. Such ideological extremism is dangerous, not only to Christianity, but to the world. And Pope Francis said as much last Thursday.
