There, fixed it for ya.

You can take your sacred name cult nonsense somewhere else.
Yes.

I also got to a building where we worship The Lord.
Is that church not an “institution”?
You bother reading the link?
Yes, I did. And you link said:
>>The universal church of God is all those who have received salvation through faith in Jesus Christ,<<
Is this “universal church” not an “institution”?
Exactly. It’s the believers that make up the Bride of Christ, not a denomination, nor a single church.
. I could go on but you get the idea.
Your post 36....most catholics I’ve noticed on this blog identify as catholic. Not Christian. Why is that if you are a Christian?
Your post 46. There is one doctrine of Christianity and it is found in the bible.
>>The universal church of God is all those who have received salvation through faith in Jesus Christ,<<
Is this “universal church” not an “institution”?
If you want to call it that but it’s not the Catholic Church. It is “all those who have received salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.”
Like it says, you receive salvation through faith in Jesus Christ — it doesn’t say the Catholic Church.
Did you know that catholic means “universal”?
So all those that are Catholic are going to heaven. And all those not Catholic going to hell? Is that what you’re trying to tell us?
and they claim protestants are always the ones changing!
The ones I personally know are different than some of the ones here. Thank goodness for that.
“There is one doctrine of Christianity and it is found in the bible”
Can you point out the Table of Contents to me where it says the Bible is official doctrine of Christianity. Be curious to know.
** Was there a pope?**
The same time he breathed on the apostles, he gave the Keys of the Kingdom to St. Peter.
Have you ever read that in your Bible?
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Is that in your Bible?

If not the Bible, what else? The mere fact this is rejected/questioned is intriguing and very revealing.
Perhaps the Book of Mormon?
Maybe the Bhagavad Gita?
Maybe the Koran?
but to be clear to those in the roman catholic cult.....the doctrines of Christianity are found ONLY in the Bible.
No where else do we learn about Christ or how to become a Christian.
"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. John 6:63
Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life. John 6:68 (you remember Peter don't you?)
btw...these are found in the Bible.
The same time he breathed on the apostles, he gave the Keys of the Kingdom to St. Peter. And what do you do with a key? You open a door. And that's what Peter did for the Jews as he preached the Gospel. It's what Paul did when he preached the Gospel to the Gentiles. You've read that....right?
Have you ever read that in your Bible?
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Is that in your Bible?
Yes that's in mine. But this is also in the roman catholic cult:
0 Virgin Mary, most powerful Mother of Mercy, Queen of Heaven and earth, in accordance with your wish made known at Fatima, I consecrate myself today to your Immaculate Heart. To you I entrust all that I have, all that I am. Reign over me, dearest Mother, that I may be yours in prosperity, in adversity, in joy and in sorrow, in health and in sickness, in life and in death.
and here I thought all along we gave our lives to Christ.
As He chose Mary as the instrument through whom He would come to us, so He chose Mary as the instrument through whom we should go to Him.
Silly me again...I thought the Holy Spirit drew us to Christ.
http://www.rosary-center.org/consecrt.htm
"Mary is the intermediary through whom is distributed unto us this immense treasure of mercies gathered by God, for mercy and truth were created by Jesus Christ. Thus as no man goeth to the Father but by the Son, so no man goeth to Christ but by His Mother." (Vatican Website: Encyclical of Pope Leo 13th on the Rosary, Octobri Mense, Pope Leo XIII, 1903-1914)
Funny, I tried searching for these ideas in the Bible and they weren't there!
You are correct about errors except.....Errors beget errors when one relies upon man-made false teachings.
the teachings of the roman catholic cult on Mary are sheer blasphemy and in no way supported by Scripture.
