“There is either one truth or there is no truth.”
Precisely! We agree! And that truth is God’s Word. And no, the Catholic church did not write the NT. God used them to canonize it. After that was done, it’s done. The Catholic church is not allowed to alter God’s Word by edict.
“Even Luther questioned himself asking if he made a mistake because now every milkmaid would be interpreting scripture to ones own purpose.”
That’s where the Holy Spirit comes in! Believers have no need for a divine hierarchy and higher-ups you bow down to and wearing rings you kiss. (Christ got down on His hands and knees and washed feet; the Popes stand there and have people bow to them. What nonsense!)
We need the Lord and each other. Every one born again is a priest before Him, to minister to each other with the gifts the Holy Spirit gives.
One shining light in the Catholic church was Mother Teresa. She loved not because she was a Catholic. She loved Christ and the poor because she was filled with the Spirit of Christ. Her love was evident. You can see the Spirit of Christ working through such a one.
I know that many, many Catholics are truly His and filled with Christ. But they are not that way because of the Catholic hierarchy. They are that way because they have met the Savior and have been touched by His love.
No, I don’t think we agree.
I don’t understand how you can say that we agree when so many Christians do not agree. For instance, why are some Christian churches marrying sodomites? Some who claim to be Christian believe this is acceptable, some do not. Who is right? Where do you stand on that issue? If you are against it, how can you tell people who believe it’s OK that they are wrong?
