From what I can see from you and your fellow Protestants, I think tweaking anybody about "making up your own religion" is pretty audacious.

I belong to a version of Christianity that's been around since Jesus Himself walked the earth, but ya'll apparently believe that ordinary human beings can just pick up the Bible and God will inspire them to understandings that require no education and no guidance from other men.

So, somebody comes along with an interpretation of the Bible that you don't like, seems to me that it's your problem, since, being consistent, you have to accept everybody's interpretation of the Bible as being as good as everybody else's.

If not, you're on the slippery slope to having to explain why your version is better than mine.

I'm not going to get caught up in your Roman Catholic attacks on other Christians, but let me just say that the Roman Catholic church of today bears little resemblance to the early Christian church. Doctrines such as Maryology, Indulgences, Purgatory, Vicars of Christ, Papal Infallibility, etc, are just a few examples of false doctrine. The Roman Catholic Church is just another large mainline church denomination (with many doctrinal errors).

I refer you both to posts #1057 and #973 for a good representation of my answers to each of you. Bye.
