You are welcome to come to the Catholic Church anytime. Try to find a conservative one. Thank you for your concern, but obviously as one who looked for Jesus in the Methodist Church for 17 years and found Him not, I have no need of Protestantism. I found Jesus living in the Catholic Church.

Not a chance.

I’ve been set free. I will not submit to the bondage of a works based salvation ever again.

Good luck with that.

I’m trusting in Jesus.

I've been to more Roman Catholic houses of worship than I care to remember.

The musty smell of idolatry keeps me away.

I am with you there. I really wish that my Church would get out of this relic business. It’s not relevant to the Gospels or our mission, and only serves to convince fellow Christians and others that we’re a weird, creepy cult.

Peter was the first Pope who presided at the Council of Jerusalem.

To whom did Jesus give the Keys of the Kingdom after Peter repented three times. Think about it.

Yup. OK. I can agree with you on that one.

It's not much different than the excesses of the word of faith movement and the getting slain in the spirit nonsense does to the non-Catholic church.

Elijah’s bones cured people. It’s in the Bible.

Not Elijah as he actually was taken up into heaven. Try Elisha's, that is in the Bible.

Wrong. James does. It's written in there clearly.

You'll have to try real hard.

Thank you for your concern, but obviously as one who looked for Jesus in the Methodist Church for 17 years and found Him not, I have no need of Protestantism.

You tried one liberal denomination and gave up?

As I said (and you conveniently left off the comment) I found Jesus living in the Catholic Church. Why go astray?

There is only ONE “holy father”, His name is Jehovah. To call anyone else your holy father is blasphemy.

Matthew 23:9 KJV
“And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.”

There are no relics of Jesus or Mary..........assumed into Heaven

Neither Jesus or Mary was 'assumed' into heaven. Jesus ascended into heaven, and Mary's body remained in the ground. Scripture accounts for Enoch and Elijah's being taken up into heaven. It also accounts for Christ's ascension into heaven, yet is silent on anyone else.

To be Catholic is to know Jesus.
