Really?
Jesus said, "If he will not listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector."
Jesus could have said, "If he will not listen to ME..." It follows with logical necessity that Jesus' Church teaches with His authority.
So are you really going to put your faith in Christ, and listen to His Church?
The church isn’t a building. Jesus said, “Wherever two or three are gathered together, there I will be also.” The churches originally met in houses. If someone wants to follow a creed, it doesn’t bother me at all. What bothers me is the cover up of what has and is happening in the Catholic church. I’ve seen grown men cry about being victims of the superior priests people have trusted because they were Christians. I know for a fact the priests visit the nursing homes and get the seniors to sign over their inheritance to the church, actually preying on the old people. Then there is the history of the church, persecuting thousands if not millions of people for daring to get baptized after their Catholic baptism. It all stinks to me. Even the way the Catholic church was started is totally a matter of politics.
How many children have to be molested before parents take a stand against the church. It is evil. Like I said, indoctrination is amazing.
