and that you have, you have offended me and I would imagine all Bible beleiving Christian churches.
we arent privy to all his instructions to the Apostles,
Why not ? Read their words for yourself, Acts, Proverbs, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John..
but we trust that they knew what they were doing when they formed the Church in her infancy.
I don't, I trust no man, I only trust in the Living God.
The Vatican recently offended its Protestant and Jewish partners in ecumenical dialogue by reiterating the most basic claim of the Catholic Church: that its the One True Church, the only sure way to salvation
I completly disagree with this whole statement! If it was the only true church then millions of us are doomed to go to hell. I beleive in the Shed Blood of Jesus Christ. I beleive that Christ came into this world to die for us, to take on the sins of the world that through his death and Resurection we shall have everlasting life.
I don't need a middle man between myself and Christ, I Pray to him, I confess my sins to him. I don't go to a confessional, I get on my knees. I don't do penence, God deals with me one on one. Confess your sins to God The Father, ask Him for forgiveness and do it with an open Heart, Love God with all your Heart and Soul and he will Love You! He Loves us all..
