If we are against the ideas of the Pope, are we living in sins?
God and the Pope are one as the Holy Mother Churches teaches and its from the bible also. Then we are suppose to allow kneeling at Holy Communion, no communion in the hands and daily traditional latin mass in each church. All this is of Vatican II.

The most important thing is to look in the Bible for the things good religion promotes. For example: High Moral Standards Marriage - Hebrews 13:4 - Does this religion require that among its members, couples wholive together be legally married? Divorce - Matthew 19:9 - Does this religion respect Jesus' direction and allow divorce and remarriage - but onlyon the grounds of immorality? Sexual morality - 1 Corinthians 6:18; Romans 1:26-27 - Does this religion teach that sexual immorality either between a man and a woman or between a couple of the same sex is a sin? Couragously upholding Bible standards among it's members - 1 Corinthians 5:11, 13 - Does this religion remove from its membership roll any who unrepentantly ignore Bible standards? Brotherly Love War - Mattew 5:44; 26:52; 1 John 3:10-12 - Does this religion encourage its members to participate in warfare? Politics - Jonh 6:15; 18:36; 17:14 - Does this religion follow Jesus' example and avoid becoming involved in politics, even if that means that its members will be hated by some politicians? Prejudice - Acts 10:34-35; James 2:1-4 - Does this religion teach that all people are equal in God's sight and that members of the religion should not discriminate against anyone on the basis of race or economic standing? Respect for God's Word Religious titles - matthew 23:1-10 - Do leaders of this religion like to be called by honorific titles and seek prominence in the community, or do they obey Jesus' command to avoid doing so? Use of images in worship - Exodus 20:4-5; 1 John 5:21 - Does this religion obey the Bible's clear command to avoid the use of images and idols in the worship of God? You can also ask yourself, which religion encourages people to study the Scriptures to see if what they are learning is really true? You can use these points to analize any religion to see if they are living by the truth, the Bible is the truth, search it out. If you would like to know more about this and other themes, next time Jehovah's Witness come to your door, ask them for a free Bible study at your convenience. You will never regret all the knowledge you will acquire and remember that what you do with that knowledge is your choice. Knowledge + Application = Wisdom

God and the pope are not one and there is no holy mother. Jesus is our high priest and mediator between God and man.

The Pope is a man and i refuse to follow man i follow my God and Lord Jesus If the Pope says stand on my head he had better have Bible for other wise it aint happenin
4 :
first of all what the pope(s) say is not always what God has said, the same thing for false prophets and the teachings of judaism and islam and protestantism if the pope speaks the truth, does he speak from inspiration or mind control. ? does the inspiration or mind control come from God. history proves that the popes have not always been servants of God. knowing that at least 2 popes were excommunicated, and those were the only ones that got caught or were framed.
5 :
Since when did the pope have any ideas of his own?
6 :
There is no "pope" in the Bible. Every "pope" is a false prophet of Satan. Catholicism is not Christian. Catholicism leads to eternal torment in hell, because catholicism teaches a false gospel of works (Galatians 1:6-9).
7 :
The Pope is just another sinful human like you and I. None of this is Biblical at all. The Pope is no better than you or me, and God does not love him any more than He loves you or me.
8 :
Eucharist in the hand is only allowed because it was approved by the Pope. Accepting the Eucharist in the hand is the way that the Apostles and disciples received it for the first time at the Last Supper and then later in the early Church. This is the real tradition of the Church. Neither Jesus at the Last Supper nor these early Christians considered this as being disrespectful. When receiving in the hand, the communicant should be guided by the words of St. Cyril of Jerusalem (ca. 313รข€“386): "When you approach, take care not to do so with your hand stretched out and your fingers open or apart, but rather place your left hand as a throne beneath your right, as befits one who is about to receive the King. Then receive him, taking care that nothing is lost." http://www.usccb.org/liturgy/current/norms.shtml Pope Paul VI granted this request from the Bishops in 1969: http://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/CDWREPON.HTM This practice is not approved worldwide but only in those countries whose bishops have requested it, namely: + Australia + Canada + England and Wales + Ireland + Malaysia and Singapore + New Zealand + Pakistan + Papua and New Guinea + Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) + Scotland + South Africa + United States + Zambia While I have not found anywhere that Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI approve or disapprove of the practice, they have neither approved this practice for the whole world nor disapproved it for these countries. Also, it is not approved in Poland or Germany, the homelands of the last two Popes. With love in Christ.

Absolutely not. God and the Pope are far from being one (don't blaspheme). But what you just said brings this to mind --- 2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, SHEWING HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD.

This is truth true. As the bible stated. " He who hears you; hears me." "Obey the head and not be of the head, always be humble with obedience to what is not a sin!" The Popes for many years did says as they rather be no communion in the hands. Kneeling is better than standing at holy Communion as its stated in Vatican II. Daily traditional Latin Mass was never against Since St. Pius V and unto Vatican II. To many liberal ones cause so much damages to the Roman Catholic Church. No Popes in over 100 years ever speak as of his own idea but what is far holier than less.
