[Salvation]

**However, to say that church splits are His will would be a lie.**

True, all are invited through Christ to the Church he founded on the apostles. The ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH!

Otherwise, aren’t people putting themselves and their judgments ABOVE those of Jesus Christ?

[Jan_Sobieski]

Jesus and Mary were not part of the Roman Church. None of the Apostles were part of the Roman Church. How about the "thief on the cross?"

I am not trying to be mean spirited, but let me test you on your assertion that Roman Catholicism is the ONLY church. Are we also invited to partake of priestly Pedophilia, or the Homosexual orgies that are ravaging the Vatican right now? How about worshiping the god of Islam who your Pope says is that same? How about prayers to the dead? What about cannibalism by partaking of the Eucharist? Are we graced for being invited to enjoy burning in Purgatory or Limbo? Which of the disciples of Jesus were forced into celibacy? Why did the Roman Church burn men and women at the stake for making God's word available to poor?

You do not know what you are talking about...

We are not invited to a church through Christ.

We are invited to be reconciled with God through Christ.

We come to CHRIST, not to a church.

There's no need to yell (caps). I too believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church but probably not in the same sense you do.

"One" - Believers are one in Christ.
"Holy" - Believers are holy in Christ.
"Catholic" - Believers are universally accepted in Christ.
"Apostolic" - The foundation of Christ's church is the apostles and prophets. Jesus is the head of His body - not the apostles and prophets. (Ephesians 2:18-22)
