Christ's Church, "And the gate of hell shall not prevail against it"?

Question

But, What about the Pedopile Priest and Molested Children?

The Bible says,..."Ye shall know them by their fruits." Matt.7:16

What is wrong here?

Answer 1

MATTHEW 7:18 - "a good tree cannot bear worthless fruit neither can a rotten tree produce fine fruit"
Verse 20 - "Really then, by their fruits you will recogize those.."

Verse 21-23 go on to show that some claiming to follow Jesus will, in fact, be rejected by him.

But did you know another way to recognize Jesus true followers?
JOHN 13:35

And HEBREWS 10:24 & 25 show that these true followers should meet together to love and encourage each other.

Find his people, his true followers & meet together with them.......... it is important :)

Answer 2

There are people living on the earth right now who will one day be a part of Jesus' bride or "church." This living organsim made up of many men, women and children throughout time is being assembled now, brick by brick in Heaven, into a living temple. That is to say, the church isn't here yet. It will be revealed soon, when the last person is added to it. For 2 thousand years it has been put together one by one.

When Jesus returns with His bride, it will be complete. But today, now, our only expression of God comes from the handful of real Christians who are, for the most part flawed and corrupt just like all of us. When compared to God's perect standard, we are all nothing. I agree that humans (myself included) are very disappointing. David killed a man and stole his wife. Moses beat a man with his fists, to death. Saul was a mass-murderer. We are in good company. But things will be made right soon.

Answer 3

it rather is very stupid, The Catholic Church isn't the Vatican. The Church is the assembly of the persons who God has stated as mutually from the ends of the earth. No guy can dissolve this supernatural physique of believers. to boot, the place of work of the Pope has persevered through fact the Apostle Peter to Pope Benedict XVI even although Pope Pius VI died as a prisoner of Napoleon. With love in Christ.

Answer 4

The Catholic church would have you believe that there is no salvation outside of the Catholic fold. This is a lie straight from Satan's mouth. The Catholic church also purports itself to be THE CHURCH - when in fact it is the seat of the antichrist, preaching a false gospel - just as the bible warned us many times about "wolves in sheep's clothing."

Y'shua (Jesus) said, "I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

He will build it; not man. And the one above me who speaks of the church as having not been presented yet because it is a body of believers from all parts of the globe is correct. Only God says who is in this church - the popes have never had the right to speak for God, and they in fact tout themselves as "another Christ." This is blasphemy, especially in light of all of the evil coming out of that institution known as the Roman Catholic Church - not only pedophilia, but the Mafia (any of them) the Jesuits secret order (assassins, impersonators, slanderers, fomenters, etc.) Hitler and the Nazi machine, and - hang on to your hat - Islam. The RCC is the whore of Babylon, the woman who rides the beast, the mother of harlots (false religions).

God's Word is true - and you are keen to point out the scriptures you mentioned - you SHALL know them by their fruits. Also, for you to see that this pedophilia (and that alone is rampant sin of great magnitude within the RCC) does NOT line up with scripture makes me very happy - thank God you question the "Christianity" of the Catholic church!

Answer 5

Priest are people and all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

They will be punished for there sin,and Christ says It Is better for that one to tie a rock around his neck and throw themself Into the sea then hurt a little one.

I believe this my daughter has been hurt and It was covered up and I became bitter,but the Lord Is good and he Is takeing care of my daughter and my bitterness and anger and also he the Lord Is taken care of those that allowed this to go on,I know how you feel but remember that God does not allow It and when we join together In prayer that God gets busy .we need to pray for our children

Answer 6

There is only one church. Just as one can only serve God or the devil and not both.

Those of which you speak are false priests and not of the church of God.

"Ye shall know them by their fruits".

Answer 7

Although the lives of some priests my be corrupt it doesn't change to the teachings of the Church itself. It's STILL Christ's Church.

Answer 8

let's not forget that the pedophiles are not only in the catholic church but the other denominations, families and schools. these people need to be taken away period.

let ye who is without sin cast the first stone.

Answer 9

Pedophiles are sick (mentally) and a tool of the enemy (Satan).

Evil is from Satan and his demons, not from God, Christ etc.

God is Holy and Righteous, loving and kind...not evil
