I couldn't agree with you more!!!!! However, remember that the Catholic Church is the only organization on Earth to have the authority to interpret scripture. You can see what happened when Luther, Calvin, Zwingley, Henry VIII, The Wesley brothers , etc. decided to interpret things for themselves...what could possibly go wrong??

Actually, you will find that no where in Scripture. It is self-awarded legitimacy. You may truly believe it. Great. No one outside your denomination does.

I agree that the recovery of the Gospel of Grace was a wonderful blessing by Luther and others who came later!
I can also see the problems in history of the RC church and what it ended up believing.

Is that why Catholics make stuff up?
Catholics aren’t as screwy as the Mormons but that’s not from lack of trying!
By the way, God owns God’s word. Catholics ought to ease up on the arrogance.
