So your Church created by man or yourself is telling the Catholic Church created by Jesus what is right and wrong!

Perhaps you should reread: “Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter [Kipha, a rock], and upon this rock [Kipha] I will build my church [ekklesian], and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven.

You are amazing! Perhaps you should examine what the Lord said to the Pharisees.

Prove that the Catholic rules are wrong! Just your opinion.
Show some logic and reason.

Why should you worry about the rules that Catholics try to follow? You have free will to either follow them or not, No one is forcing you, but you are trying to tell others that they are wrong. In my opinion, that may be a sin if you are not truthful or right.

PEACE BE WITH YOU.

First wrong assumption is that the church that Jesus said he would build is the Catholic church.

And yet there is no reference to Catholicism in Scripture.

Jesus never said He would build the Catholic church. He just said *church*, not specifying the denomination.

Rome’s claim to be the OTC, is its own opinion and at odds with the EO who claim THEY were the original church and the Roman church is the schismatics.

So who’s right?

I have. He said this....

Matthew 23:1-11 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others. But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. The greatest among you shall be your servant.
