Interesting how you think that a personal belief and trust translates into blind obedience to some 'religious leader'...talk about a leap of faith...based on your rhetorical skills, or lack thereof, I am left with no other option than to consider you an ignorant popinjay, spouting Holy Writ which pertains to no point you are attempting to make, and to dismiss further discussion with you forthwith, as a colossal exercise in futility...
Interesting choice of words... that you can't get away from, can you? Did you say your "hail mary's" today?
The futility lies in your willingness to utterly disregard Scriptures, and suspend your BLIND OBEDIENCE to your "church" long enough to read those Scriptures without the blinders installed by your popes...
The RC church wants to keep you under the law (and make sure you come to the church to receive your penance and drop your tithes).
If you are a brother in Christ, I can break bread with you. If you are just a member of the church, we surely do have nothing in common! I don't hate the RC church any more than the Mormon church. They both contain Crhristians. Some of them just don't BELIEVE all the truth available, and others try to add something to it!
Christ's ONLY Church doesn't exist in Rome! It is the entire Body of Christ, and come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and denominations... but they have one thing in common. Jesus is Lord!
