... that anybody actually believes in those fairy tales! God has no need for go-betweens and please show me some scriptures on which you may base the other assumptions. I get one Catholic Tell me a that faith is defined as "fact", then I get another that comes to describe how we must circumnavigate the path to God's throne through some third parties.
yet, all of those teachings require pretzel-like twists and misdirections to draw away from Jesus. Oh, there's plenty of talk about Jesus, but there is always something else added. Scripture tells us to beware. Scripture tells us to study to show ourselves approved before God. Scripture tells us there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Scripture tells us that we can go straight to the throne without fear, because we are the children of God, when we only have simple faith.
Scripture tells us everything we need for salvation. Scripture never tells us to go through Rome!
It's laid out here in the Philippines, 12 hours difference from the East Coast of the US. I am going to bed now and rest soundly, knowing that when I die, I can look forward to the resurrection. It may be that promise by faith, I will cling to it. I won't light any candles, nor talk to dead people. I just say thank you for your gift without price to me.
So, Satan can walk to and fro upon the earth deceiving whom he can. It seems there's a lot of those willing to accept something that makes them feel good.
Good night!
Look! Squirrel! (pay no attention to the demon behind the curtain!)
