Is it more important what the Bible says or what the Pope says?

In short, what the Bible says is more important than what the Pope says. Refer to the Gospel of St. John 3: 31 Ideally, what the Pope says will match perfectly with what the Bible says. What the Pope says, however, may fall within the realm of interpretation.

The Bible is always the inspired Word of God. Man speaks from his own beliefs, which are simply that. Beliefs about God's Word are necessarily different in nature from God's Word, regardless of how sincerely the beliefs are held.

When one's beliefs precisely align with God's Word, then the beliefs are accurate; but, still, they are beliefs and not God's Word As Christians, we approach God through our beliefs about what God has revealed of himself through the Holy Scriptures. There's no getting AROUND our beliefs. Rather we must go THROUGH our beliefs.

Beliefs, however, are subject to error; God's Word is not. The Bible says of itself that it is God-breathed. See 2 Timothy 3:16.

Beliefs, on the other hand, are not God-breathed. Beliefs may, and often do, change. God's Word never changes Man has no capacity to judge God's Word.

Rather it is God's Word that judges Man. When someone proposes to speak of the inaccuracy of Scripture, for example, it is like a dog barking in the wind. When contrasted against the Word of God, which is from the top down, what Man says and means is necessarily from the bottom up.

That is, the perspectives are different. Man does not have the proper and necessary perspective to judge God's Word The Pope, according to Catholism, is Christ's representative on Earth. The Pope, however, is not, and does not claim to be, God.

The Holy Scriptures, as contained in the Bible, is God's Word and, therefore, is more important than what anyone says. The Pope is subordinate to and a servant of the Word. The Word is subservient to no one Answer According to the Catholic view the Pope, when speaking ex cathedra in his position as head of the church, and making a statement about faith or doctrine is speaking infallibly.As stated above, the Pope is a man and cannot be infallible by definition.

Those who do not follow the Catholic position also note that the Pope has defined doctrines which contradict the Bible Those who follow the Catholic view must, by definition, be placing the Pope and Catholic tradition ahead and over the Bible. This will not be a problem where and if the Catholic view is in accord with Bible teaching If there is an apparent disagreement the Catholic position would always put the Pope first Others would have a higher regard for the word of God, as the word of one who cannot err and would place that first. Such would also note that there are many significant disagreements between what the Pope teaches and what the Bible teaches, although of course there are quite a number where they appear to agree.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
