There IS only one Church: the one Christ started. The Catholic Church. The thousands of other Christian churches are weak off-shoots that were started by men after they pruned the Scriptures.
I see the same trite and vain repetitions of false and hackneyed phrases in your latest posts against the Catholic Church. There is AMPLE truth posted in this thread alone that refutes your statements about the Catholic Church.
Christians-lite can follow preacher Billy Bob (who got religion a couple of years ago) and his “inspired” interpretations of the sadly desecrated and dissected bible, if they want to. I guess it feels better for them to find an interpretation that they agree with, rather than conform their thoughts/actions to Christ’s will, no matter how difficult. That’s their choice, and, as Christ said, there are many rooms in Heaven.
The final Truth is this: the Bible stood for hundreds of years as the Word of God, untouched. Then men, full of their own importance, began to cut parts out and whittle it away. What arrogance. What folly! Any Christian should be FURIOUS about that. Every Christian should be insulted by that man-made bible. The fruits of that folly are the proof: there a a multitude of churches and interpretations now- exactly the OPPOSITE of what Christ stated was His will for his Church. The entire construct of Protestantism is built on sand.
I am thrilled to be Catholic and follow the original teachings of Christ to the letter, no matter how tough. I praise God that Christ prayed for His Church to remain united and that He sent the Spirit to guide it forever. We are the faithful remnant, holding fast to the original, to the end.
I will pray for you, presently no screen name.
