"It's false because the teachings and doctrines of Catholicism do not agree with a simple reading and understanding of the Scriptures. And only the truth of Scripture will justify in the end -- for God will judge us according to His Word, not by the dictates of some man-made religion, doctrine, or organization. What God's Word says will be all that matters on judgment day."

Before you criticize publicly the Catholic Church, I would suggest to you that a good reading of Revelation chapter 2 might be in order for you.

Are you really able to discuss the matters of the letters to the seven churches which were in Asia?

Do you really think that you could do so?

Based on your post, I doubt that you could. Write me when you are certain of the fact that you can.

BTW, I was raised a catholic, but I left that denomination more than half of my lifetime ago.

You are clearly no authority on these matters.

I have been in Christian ministry for twenty-four years, have a biblical degree from a credited university, and presently pastor of a Southern Baptist Church, as an ordained minister in the denomination.

At the age of twenty-four, Jesus Christ miraculously delivered me from drug and alcohol addiction after three rehabilitation centers failed to do so. I know Jesus Christ personally, speak with Him on a regular basis, and am very well of aware of who saved me both physically and spiritually. That was twenty-six years ago, what I believe has withstood the test of time, and millions of others can testify to the same. Yes indeed, "Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed."

No church, organizaton, association, or doctrine can perform such marvelous works. As the Apostle Paul so aptly stated, "I know in Whom I have believed, and am fully persuaded that He is able to keep that which has been committed to Him."
