My grandmothers was a wonderful woman, and got on her knees and prayed all the time, using the chair, as an altar, and didn’t care who was around.
BUT I did NOT quote my grandmother.
I quoted the Bible.
Is it because I quoted from the Bible, showing Who started the Catholic Church that upsets you?
Don’t pick and choose quotes from the Bible.
When I have listened to EWTN Catholic radio, more than once I heard FORMER nonCatholics, including a former Protestant pastor say they converted to the Catholic religion because it’s the religion Jesus started.
Unless I quote all 66 books of the Bible here (minus the apocrypha), then I am on your words, "picking and choosing" Scripture. Did not Jesus Himself quote Scripture passages to show the truth?
Like many Catholics, you hold on to this notion that you "started" the Christian belief and therefore you have no worries about adhering to any authority in Scripture. Let me remind you that Romans says we ALL have fallen short of the glory of God, and furthermore in Revelation that God severely judges churches for their failings. The Catholic Church and its supposed leaders will come under the gaze of The Lord very soon, as will you and I.
Do not hold onto truth or salvation because of who "started" the Roman church. Second century Christians would not recognize The Way in the current Roman church, and the Bible does not say Christ rewards hearts based on who claims they got to second base first. It says He judges, and that should bring fear and trembling to all of us. You hold on to tradition, but not the Scriptures. God will hold you accountable for that.
