And for tonight I want to talk about the Pope and the Papacy because it's been in the news so much.

“ Great Sermon! ” Very good message ! You told the truth about the E.C.T. nonsense , and many other things. I have been posting on an Apologetics website with 2 R.C.s about the Papacy. I quote scripture - they quote from a "Church Father". I shall post the link to this message. Thanks to Sermon Audio! Sola Scriptura!
