There are many things I would refer to but one in particular- <br /><br />1 Timothy 3<br /> 1This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. <br /><br /> 2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; <br /><br /> 3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; <br /><br /> 4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; <br /><br /> 5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) <br />.....<br /><br />verse 5 in particular ! How can the Pope know how to rule the whole world if he never was married or had children of his own! <br />However, I would tell you- do not distance yourself from God ! Religion should not take away your relationship with God! <br /><br /><br />I have been following a christian fellowship. I , personally , don't like to be of any denomination because I'd like to be called a follower of Jesus Christ, son of God who died for our sins.. in Faith, and NOT in religion. <br /><br />I now have a daughter, who I never baptised, as I feel that one has to know what they are doing when they they do something like this. I got baptised when I was a baby under RC church but I find it was nullified because I did not know what I was doing. I got baptised by my pastor only a few years ago and this was when i knew what i was doing . But I did not, and still do not, feel that I should excommunicate myself from RC church. For what? Our relationship should be with God first, and not with man- God sees our heart.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00048180439021690765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183069977646561583.post-44059566770675186282009-05-29T19:53:51.772+02:002009-05-29T19:53:51.772+02:00@ kermenoo
