Thank you for making your convictions clear for all to see: that it’s insufficient to follow Jesus as His Apostles did, and that it’s necessary to belong to your particular church
you don’t seem to get it, it is not my church, it is not Rome’s church, it is Jesus’ church, the one that He founded, instructed his apostles to expand, and that He meant all mankind to follow.....that would ba the Catholic church.....you can name every protestant denomination in the world and every one of them would be only partially correct. ONLY Catholicism encompasses all that Christ intended His church to be. When Jesus founded His church, (Catholic), He promised her that she would be free from error and that He would be with Her until the end of time....He has done very well so far (never in error) and she remains the only true way of the cross.....you may vary in your course.....but you will never be on the correct road until you regain your position within the church.....You notice I said regain....if your Baptism was legitimate....you were baptized Catholic.....after all, it is the ONLY true Christian group on earth...therefore you are indeed a Catholic......Welcome home, see your local priest to regain your position on the road to Heaven
You wrote that the church that Jesus founded was “the Catholic church.”
Why do you need to add a qualifier to “church.” No, Jesus’ church is not “Catholic.” Jesus’ church is His church — the body of believers who’ve been adopted into His family.
I am really stunned by how you love your denomination more than you love the Savior, how you reject those who follow Christ because they’re not members of your branch of Christianity, how you defame as illegitimate my baptism into Christ because the ceremony was performed outside of your denomination.
Jesus is my high priest. I have no need for one of your denomination’s priests, whether he be a pedophile or otherwise.
Here’s a serious question: Do you love Jesus? Is He your Savior, and your Lord? If so, perhaps try harder to exalt Him, at the expense of all else. Do you know my denomination? No, you do not. Because I promote Jesus, not my denominational affiliation.
