So THERE! And this is very SERIOUS because if you are not Catholic something is very wrong in your relationship with God. I respectfully disagree.
Jesus is the Son of God, and is my only path to God the Father, and my Savior. Any one who accepts that gift and believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
Anything that I put in the way of that, any "dogma" or stipulations or rhetoric, be it Catholic, Protestant, Pentacostal, or any other "denomination"-- anything that stands in the way of that personal relationship with God the Father and God the Son is problematic, and therefore can't come from Him.
However, God bless you! If your relationship with Him is real, then you and I may meet in Heaven and, if we were so inclined as to discuss this, I would welcome it then, with our new-found perspective.
“... Anything that I put in the way of that, any “dogma” or stipulations or rhetoric, be it Catholic...”
One thing that clearly stands in the way of Jesus the Son of God being your only path to God is remaining non-Catholic for so many of you, for He gave us the Church on Pentecost day.
Will you refuse your Lord?
(Remember, the “Catholic” faith MEANS the “universal” faith. As in, there is no other.
So Jesus gave us apostles with authority with which they ordained and consecrated successors, which are vested with authority to shepherd the Flock as Jesus, with the instruction He gave them to PRESERVE the faith, not create or change it in any fashion.
