God clearly say I'm God there is none beside me (Isaih 45:6). Jesus said I am the way the truth and the light, no man comes to the father except by me (John 14:6) I didn't hear a pope mentioned. Call no one on earth your father, you have but one father in heaven Mathew (23:9). Father forgive me for i have sinned; sound familiar. Never follow man.

Thou shalt worship the lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve (Matthew 4:10) Still no Pope.

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be decieved: Neither the sexually Immoral nor Idolators nor adulteress nor male prostitutes nor Homosexual offenders nor thieves nor greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God. (1st corinthians 6:9-11)

In latter time some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demon, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, FORBIDDING TO MARRY, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 1st timothy 4:1-5.

I think the Pope might be on the wrong phone line with the wrong person. Do not follow man or bow down before them.

We don't need a Pope or anyone else for correction and to keep us straight, that is what the Bible is used for.

Because, people will believe nearly anything.

I've never met a Catholic who is under the misconception that the pope is God or Jesus.
It seems to be Protestants and Fundamentalists are the only ones confused on this point.

The POPE is a direct SUCCESSOR of Peter...
who helps others get to the TRUTH AND THE LIGHT...
He does not declare himself as JESUS or GOD......
HONESTLY...if we who are suppose to be Christians, then why do we keep picking reasons why "this group is wrong" and "we are better" and all of that, who is to call himself a Christian when someone thinks like that?

I have no idea. All I know is, everything is in the Bible. People do think what they want to think. But everything is in the Bible.

Because in the bible Jesus said to Peter, the first pope, you are the rock and on this rock I will build my Church.
What do you call your father then?

Because there are truth to everything and some people just do anything at all causes to deny those truths.

He's just a leader of a very large cult. To worship him would be no different than any other idol worship.

True, but unfortunately there are some things that we blind ourselves too. Catholics may believe this because that is how they were taught, that is what they had written in their minds for a long time. I like the way you recognized this though, good for you for pointing out observations in our fellow believers.
