Believe me, you could post the relevant teaching straight from Catechism and they’d still tell you that the Church teaches something else. Just leave ‘em be.

Quite right. Still, Petronski is a most valiant defender of our Church and faith. For that, I admire him greatly.

[ As for me, I will not leave the Church founded by Christ just because they depart from teaching your own personal interpretation of God's inerrant and infallible Word, which is the Bible. ]

All christian churchs think they are founded by christ..

Actually NONE are..

The church was founded by the Holy Spirit..
The church IS the Body of Christ.. and the Bride of Christ..
Which are the same thing in different metaphors..

All it takes is a few minutes at a meeting of some church..
To detect whether the Holy Spirit is there or is cut out of the loop..

Many churchs have no need of the Holy Spirit..
He would just mess up their drama.. and disinformation..
Not all christians are christians..

Your own personal interpretation of Scripture is of no use to me. You are welcome to it. I will stick with the Church founded by Christ and protected by the Holy Spirit to this day: The Catholic Church.

Yep, a spirit of religion permeates Christianity and needs to be cast out in Jesus’ name so HE can get done what He longs to do in our midst.

The Roman Catholic church has no need of the Holy Spirit..
And can operate fully without him.. and does/do..

However some Roman orthodox believers do need him and know him..
As John ch 10 says.. some go in and out of the sheep pen..
Sadly its the same with some protestant situations..

Some christians love the acrid odors and sqwish between their toes in the sheep pens..

But the true Body of Christ, His family of believers, will not fall. Even the Catholic church will fall one day. Then what will you do? Only Jesus, my friend. He will sustain all of us who put our faith in trust in HIM and not in any church.

YUP.

I don’t know what jerks folks chains the most . . .

psycho-dynamic pride stuff from ATTACHMENT DISORDERED childhoods in and of itself

or

ditto as addicted to RELIGION.

They sure seem to go together a lot.

Alas, watching their dance is a short-term entertainment attraction at best.

Maybe if we gave them funny little hats the dance would be more entertaining longer.

And that is also how we know YOU, by your fruits. So far the fruit is rotten on your end.

Hah, we already HAVE the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, without all the Mariology, nonsense about baptism being salvific and all the other extra-biblical stuff you folks carry around on your shoulders. Don’t worry about us, B-Chan. You best be concerned about your own heresies in your church.

Nothing, because it will never happen.

Sorry, Marysecretary, but this is no longer a discussion. It’s just bickering, and you can count me out. You kids play without me.

Oh, but it will. Then what will you do now that you have put your faith and trust in the Church?

Heresy reigns in your church. Very sad for the millions who have been led astray.
