Let me say whatever i gona say about the Pope. I once told a fren of mine to juz leave him alone. I feel that he should be given some peace juz before he passed away from this entity. I believe that it could be many of our wishes, to die peacefully. Now that he had passed away, i do feel a bit sad that someone who can impact mankind had to leave this world.
Of course if you wan me to say from a protestant point of view, i will beg to differ on some egregious blunders or should i diplomatically say issues rather than blunders?
Believers had often made a remark that the Pope was a bridge between man and God. Erm, tat statement per se is a very BIG assignation. I remember the times when i was being inculcated that the Lord Jesus had been the "bridge" that bridged the sinful mankind to God Himself. So why the pope a bridge? Perhaps to catholics it meant different thing.
Idolatry had in contemporary sense become pretty protean in nature. I can sometimes treat money as an idol, sometimes image...all kinds of things that u are obesseseed with or that you put them above God is deemed a kind of idol, figuratively speaking of coz.
Sometimes friends ask me, christians also worship idols what...why u criticised idol worship in other religion.
I guess when i discussed about idolatry earlier you get the idea what i meant by idolatry. We dun pray to objects of idolatry like those in taoism..bla bla. We simply believe that God is omniscient, that he is all knowing , all around us. Thus we dun need an idol to contain him. Nothing can contain him. Absolutely nothing.
Sometimes we are frustrated at many things. At why these misfortunate things happened, and we question our God, whether he had been blind to these things. Yet we know that we had brought all these upon ourselves, and we simply, as finite beings, couldn't understand the magnificent plans of our infinte God. Praise Him.
