As far as I know all the Catholics I am acquainted with take all those words at their face meaning. We aren’t as uneducated as many Protestants think.
But it’s because Catholics ARE reading and studying the Bible now!
Remember, I said you could always come back.
Does that mean that you are in complete agreement with what I brought out from the Bible? If so, the the whole structure of the Latin Church is suspect of being a super cult led by an influential leader who represents Christ on earth. In doing so, it has created a vast bureaucracy to control its membership, which they call the laity.
There are no special castes of "priests" to perform ritualistic exercises such as was found in Judahism in contrast to what is found in the Bible - that is the misuse and misunderstanding to the term "presbuteros", which the RCC redefined to mean a "priest".
But its because Catholics ARE reading and studying the Bible now!
Yes, and many of them are coming out of the RCC to join a real Biblical Christian church.
Remember, I said you could always come back.
Yes, I remember, but why should I deny what I've found out and return to error?
All in all, are you afraid or ashamed to respond to what I said in my previous messages? Or is it that you are faced with the truth and wish to ignore it? Which is it?
