Lost in Translation

[jcrichton]

Well its been 2000 yrs, things have changed quite a bit since then. Its pretty clear there are MANY who are not getting the intended message, or are trying to claim a certain interpretation is correct…if this were happening in any othe situation, you can bet it would be made very clear what the original message was and what the correct interpretation is.

This actually happens all the time when people quote statements made by our Pope, many times they are not interpreted correctly and people think they mean something which they do not, when this happens, the vatican is quick to come out and clarify, if they never did this and just let it all go, who knows how far from the truth it would get over 1000s of years.

Recently on FB, I saw a supposed quote from the Pope, the way he said it, seemed to imply going to church anymore was not necessarily required, this post had 10s of 1000s Likes and shares, meaning there are many people out there that believed this and shared it with others, if things like this are left unaddressed, the real truth would eventually be impossible to see.

Hi, Mike!
…not sure if you are arguing that there’s a built-in system in the Church Founded by Christ or if you’re arguing that man’s determination to be his own authority causes him to reject God’s Salvific Plan as He intended from the Beginning or if you are arguing that God needs to interject (as correction or support) in the development/Worship of the Church…

If you mean the latter, well… He does, every single day! Jesus promised that He would send another Paraclete (the Holy Spirit) that would Bring the Church to the Fullness of Truth; further, He promised that He Himself would remain with the Church till the end of ages… after the Foundation of His Church the Holy Spirit came to the Eleven/Twelve and the Church had her Initiation. Then Jesus converted Saul. The Twelve and Paul began their Ministry Guided and Supported by Christ and the Holy Spirit.

As Church History Began, Oral Tradition (Teaching Orally) was accompany by the Written Tradition (Written Word) and the Truth, unfolded by the Holy Spirit, began to take shape as Doctrine and Practice were engaged to both propagate the Faith and fight heresy.

This has not changed.

True, man has not always remained faithful to God; yet, nevertheless, God has always remained Faithful to His Word!

Maran atha!
