My devotion is to Jesus, not to any other man.

If you're devoted to Jesus then convert to His Church and eat His flesh and drink His blood as he commanded you to do.

While Catholics don’t seem to be able to understand it, not everyone else thinks like they do because not everyone has been indoctrinated like Catholics have been raised.

And here it is. The radical individualism so prevalent in protestant thought. Religious and spiritual predisposition conflated with secular political ideology.

I don't need to convert to His church. I AM His church. I became part of it when I was born again by His Spirit.

Drinking blood is forbidden by Scripture and Jesus could not have drank it or commanded others to without becoming a lawbreaker and sinning.

Did Jesus drink His own blood at the Last Supper? Then why did HE call it*the fruit of the vine*?

And here it is. The radical individualism so prevalent in protestant thought.

And what of it? Is group mentality better?

God wants children, not drones.

Yes my faith is a radical faith. I'm totally sold out to the One who have bought me with His blood.

And yes, it's individual. Relationships are like that. Nobody has group relationships with people. It's always individual.,P> Even Paul tells us that.

1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

Even Jesus takes us on a one on one basis.

John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

Religious and spiritual predisposition conflated with secular political ideology.

Wishful thinking......
