Explain to me what you mean by "spiritual Father," and I'll gladly answer your question; not a problem.
Is the Pope the head of your religion you are joined to?

Not that I know of. And the phenomenon may just be with online-active non-Trins, maybe IRL JWs aren't like that at all---although, I have to say that the JW website explains the Resurrection---while not technically distinctly from the Catholic teaching, except that they rather extremely mention that the Lord rose in a quote-unquote spiritual body, which He did . . . but the JW-dot-org website was so careful to point out that His risen body was different from the body He died as, that it almost seems to be giving space to those who don't want to believe that He rose nonfictionally.Well I never knew that! I've never heard a non Trinitarian say that they don't believe that Jesus is raised from the dead.
We can't be raised with Christ if Christ Jesus is not raised. And we can't have faith in a dead Jesus only a living Jesus raised by God.
Is there a thread on that, that you know of that I can read? Thanks
If you mean the supreme pastor by "head," and the Church mentioned in the New Testament by "your religion," then yes.Is the Pope the head of your religion you are joined to?

If you can believe it, [MENTION=1746]freelight[/MENTION] actually balked at my usage of the words nonfiction and fiction, saying they were somehow ambiguous terms, even when used explicitly mutually exclusively.
The pope isn't anything like Jesus, I'm afraid! I mean in the way he lives.Is the Pope the head of your religion you are joined to?

'Very wise of you. Thanks.Less expedient than my post.
Just sayin'.
Uh-oh.Do you believe that he is risen in us?

Non fictionally? He is risen full stop!Uh-oh.
Whaddya mean by that. And I mean, do you believe that He rose from the dead, nonfictionally? I know you've identified yourself Mary, I'm asking . . . Mary, do you believe that He rose from the dead, nonfictionally?

This is your cultism creeping in. The "crowning [and] central truth" is the Resurrection. What we should or ought think about the Resurrection, is Christian theology. I subscribe to the popes in matters of Christian theology; I'm a non-combatant.Non fictionally? He is risen full stop!
But he has to be risen in us, Don't you believe that?
Christ has to be in us, or we are dead to him!
So you don't believe that Christ is risen in you?This is your cultism creeping in. The "crowning [and] central truth" is the Resurrection. What we should or ought think about the Resurrection, is Christian theology. I subscribe to the popes in matters of Christian theology; I'm a non-combatant.
Then you have to pay attention more to what I'm saying. It's not Francis---it's Peter, who I believe in. And the last time, that Peter, spoke, was in 1994 or 1995. I think the first version was published in 1994, and at that time---there has to be a controlling version in the Church, because she speaks so many languages, just like how the Apostles spoke so many languages on Pentecost in AD 33---the controlling version was French I think, but maybe that's John Calvin's language I'm thinking of, maybe John Calvin wrote his Institutes in French . . . but anyway, the first English version was published with a different "controlling" language version, in 1994, and in 1995, the "controlling version" was Latin, which is always the best "controlling" version, because Latin doesn't change, like French or English or Chinese change. If ever there's a question of interpretation with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Latin version is the "highest court of appeal." Latin is the Church's "original" language.It can not be that the Pope is the head of the NT church.

Cf. John 19:20 (KJV)
Christ is risen. :AMR:So you don't believe that Christ is risen in you?
If Christ not risen in us, then we are dead to him.Christ is risen. :AMR:
Please don't think I'm going on, but I've never heard anyone say this before, if someone doesn't believe that Christ is risen, what do they believe? Thanks.
Me too.Yes.
Disagreed. Cultist.No, Christ Jesus is the head of the church not Peter or Paul or any of the apostles!
Made up. Cultist.If Christ not risen in us, then we are dead to him.
We have to have the life of Christ within our hearts.
