It is little interest to me where reprobates go to "church" or if they go at all...
It is obvious to the saved here that this man was never saved ..
No one is saved because they are born into a "Christian" family or goes to church, or does good works
John1:12But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
Yeah, but if you are going to go apostate ... go full apostate with the original.
The guy was ordained a priest! An office not even existent in the New Testament ekklesia of Christ. Per scripture the man doesn’t even qualify to be an elder in the New Testament ekklesia of Christ. They might claim he is “home” in the Catholic Church but that “home” has nothing to do with the “home” true believers are destined for.
AMEN!
Isaiah 64:6:
"We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away."
And...Ephesians 2:8-10:
"8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
I don't get how folks cannot understand this -- how much more plainly can God make it?

“Catholics make the mistake of thinking that we think...”
You could have stopped right there.

Not very efficient, then, are they?
