“He who does not love Me does not keep My words” (vv. 15, 21, 23- 24).

How does one who claims faith and love but does not believe in the Word of God reconcile with God?

Are there Truths in the Bible that we are required to believe to have faith in God?

Why do some christian religions have many doctrines that disagree with each other and God’s Word?

Are there false prophets and false teachers in the christian religions as warned by Jesus?

Are Protestant doctrines false teachings?
Sola Scritptura? Appears as a new doctrine in 16th century
Sola Fides? (James 2;24; Matt 12:36-37 and Romans 2:6)
Once save always saved (Mt 10:22)
Body and Blood of Jesus is symbolic and not Real Presence of Jesus Christ (John 6:53) “no life in you”

Why do many christian believers fail to accept the true teachings of Jesus and fail to acknowledge the authority of the Catholic Church he founded?

Because Jesus did not found the corrupt and immoral organization known as the Catholic church.

His commands about how to organize and run a church are found throughout Paul's epistles and when Roman Catholicism starts to work according to that, then it might have the right to call itself a church.

Until then, it's nothing more than than a homosexual infiltrated pedo rig that fails to obey the very Scripture it claims to have written.

Hence, it has no authority ov3er the lives of any believer in Christ. That claim is just a power grab by Catholicism.

You deceive ... Jesus did not establish an org called 'the catholic church'. When the Day of Pentecost preaching by Peter resulted in the Holy Spirit descending upon more than three thousand listeners, the Body of Christ here on Earth began. [If you as a Catholic stumble over the term 'Body of Christ' think in terms of 'the student body of a particular college.]

The Body of Christ is composed of ALL THOSE who have done as God demands, they have believed in their heart that Jesus is The Redeemer, that they must have a Redeemer to see Heaven, and have trusted Him to be their Redeemer.

God's response to their believing in Jesus is to separate the soul and spirit:

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit ...

God then cleanses the spirit and thereafter ABIDES in that born again spirit (1 John 3:9) with no mention of rituals or dogma in order to keep God in the born again spirit.

I am sure there will be Catholics going up into the clouds to meet the Lord Christ in the air at the Rapture Departure of the Body of Christ, but it will be a huge surprise to them to be among so many Baptists, and Methodists, and Presbyterians, and Episcopalians, and non-denominational believers. We will seek to explain it to you then, if you are now born again. If you are not yet born again ... bye, see ya, wouldn't want to be ya.

Mainly, I suppose, because I just don’t agree with your interpretations. I did at one time, but I don’t anymore. I am comfortable with that.
