us Catholics have only been wearing the Crucifix with the Body of Christ on it and making the Sign of the Cross for eighteen hundred years..
eighteen hundred years..
how long has your schismatic splinter group sect started by a mere man been in existence? a hundred years? five hundred years?
you speak out of both sides of your mouth regarding the sacredness of scripture because your Grandma's bible had 6-8 more books in it than your personal bible does.
why is that? because ordained common men at the Lambeth Conference in the 1920s decided to make them “optional”.
Your grandmother would disown you if she were alive today and listened to you tell her what your “church” finds “optional”, as it is she is likely spinning in her grave every time Lambeth gets together and makes “optional” more of her cherished beliefs.
Since then they have made artificial birth control, abortion, gay marriage, women clergy and belief in the Absolute Primacy of Christ “optional”.
For Catholics the road to Christ runs through Rome, for protestants the road to atheism runs through the Lambeth Conference.
BTW you just repeat the same trite Jack Chickian ideas of Catholics worshiping their Crucifix..nice try.
The Church of the second century had groups in their midst that believed in abortion, sodomy, and women clergy and who rejected parts of their scripture - they were called heretics.
Lurking’
Yes, slander and condemn the Catholic Church; but only realize that when you slander and condemn His Church you are likewise slandering and condemning Jesus Christ.
Please, those who are called Christian, let us put our focus on knowing God through Christ, instead of focusing on our differences.
Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures, because of His great love for us. He rose again, to show His victory over our sin. Does anyone disagree?
Can we agree on these basic points, essential to salvation? Time is short, and the enemy the devil would love for Christians to waste time arguing.
