<<When in doubt about biblical doctrine, do not turn to any man - go to the Bible itself and search out the truth.>>


You say no man is infallible, especially the Pope.
Yet you accept the word of the Bible as infallible.

Was not the Bible written by men ?

P.S. I know this is a "stock question" and I'm familiar with the stock answers.
But how would you answer ? Choose wisely.

"Why??"...

In light of your preference for literal interpretation, you've certainly read alot into my posts and made certain assumptions that were not intended. And if the literal Word is all that is needed, how do you explain the phenomenon of such Evangelical characters as Swaggert, Falwell, the Bakers, and "televangelism" in general? Simply sitting around reading the Bible should be enough, no? Regardless, heaven surely has a special place for that crew..... And since it would appear that so few are actually going to heaven ("saved"), maybe hades ("HELL!!") is not such a bad place afterall. We'll be in good company! Heck everyone I know is going to hades, per your "interpretation". To each his or her own..... No response is required.

Maybe we should agree to disagree, and simply respect eachother's personal views?...
