So, your saying there is a chance you will come back to Christ’s church; however, the sloppy wet kiss is not really necessary. I will continue to pray for you as a brother in Christ and we should all pray for Mormons.
On the contrary - I've never been out of Christ's church, at least not since I first bended the knee.
however, the sloppy wet kiss is not really necessary
Au contraire - it's the only non-negotiable for entering Catholicism. Just ask the Orthodox :)
You make the same theological mistake Mormons do in reducing "the church" to a physical address.
So you're telling us, eh, that say...Oh, if the Catholics are right...
That Christ came...made sure if he got it all "legit" with the Italian postal service...
And then set up "church shop" at:
00120 Via del Pellegrino
Citta del Vaticano
And that unless you're some extension of 00120 Via del Pellegrino Citta del Vaticano -- you are beyond...
...THE institution...
...THE organization...
...THE religious firm...
Sorry...but Christ's commission was to "go..."
Not to worry about a mentality of pulling people in to a certain physical address...
In fact, the very Greek word for "church" is ecclesia (ekklesia)
...it means "called-out ONES"...
...the "body" of Christ is flesh-and-blood...
...Just like He still is...
...The temple of the Holy Spirit is flesh-and-blood...
...For His Spirit doesn't find it "special" to inhabit man-made structures...
...the apostle Paul CLEARLY said the temple was His Body...
...Even Jesus, when He referenced "temple" -- destroy the temple in 3 days -- He would raise it up...
...was referencing a flesh-and-blood body...
Catholics and Mormons who insist upon a particular peculiar zip code (for Lds 84150...with "50" being the key address as part of "Temple Square" in SLC) as the very "headquarters" for Jesus utterly ignore how Jesus in His Great Commission not only said "go" -- but "lo, I will be with you always, even to the end of the age."
Sorry. But Jesus is quite "mobile" thank you.
He's NOT hung up about being headquartered at a certain "sovereign" space within Rome or at Temple Square in SLC.
The true Church is flesh and blood; NOT brick and mortar!
“I will continue to pray for you as a brother in Christ and we should all pray for Mormons.”
Thank you for your prayers. May I ask, what exactly are you asking God to do to me?
