What is a Saint?

Because people believe that he can. I personally do not recognize the Pope's authority.

Then I'm afraid you're going straight to Hell.

The Pope is God on earth.

Now, Timmy (I mean Boris) you might want to sit down because what I am about to tell you is universe-shattering:

the Pope is just an old, Caucasian man who has managed to fool the masses into believing that he has authority over them.

Your are not hyperventilating are you Boris? Boris? Boris?

*Flatlines*

Boris!

(We'eve lost him)

A person does not become a saint till a couple of years after.WHen MOther Theresa dead, they claim her a saint alittle afterwards.So it depends on what that person did and if the church argrees to make that p erson a saint.jm

There is no such animal as making someone a saint. The whole idea is unscriptural. If you are born again, then you are a saint. No person makes you this, you become this the moment that you become born again.

Now, JIA you might want to sit down because what I am about to tell you is universe-shattering:

Jesus was just a crazy, arab man who has somehow managed to fool the masses, for years after it has become apparent it's all false... into believing that he was the son of a non existent God.

Your are not hyperventilating are you JIA? JIA? JIA?!

We've lost him... ah well.

No great loss there.

In Protestant terminology, a saint is any Christian believer. In the Roman Catholic Church, it is an especially holy deceased Christian who has met certain requirements and has been canonized by the Pope.

There are a lot of lies in the bible; why is this one any more important then any of the others?

A saint is someone who is pious and attain God-hood throuigh mysticism and ascteics.

A Saint is someone who has done extraordinary things for other people through the power of God.

Not a person who simply becomes Evangelical, and votes right wing...stop being egotistic JIA

If he was a saint, wouldn't he be a kinder person? 😕

In the christian tradition a saint is basically a monk that performs 3 miracles in the name of God.

Because of politics behind the catholic church...anyone who gets more popular votes becomes a saint. This of course cause controversy in Latin American countries. Were saint popularity is the highest. There is a canon procedure that is been change to please the masses of believers. It's becoming a contest of popularity rather than an actual search for holy people.

Can you substantiate that with an authoritative source?

If what you posted is true Shakyamunison then why does the Bible contradict that information?

Why would I know the answer to that question? I'm a Buddhist, not a Christian. 😉

A saint is something made up by man.
