“Don’t worry, God has always been able to skirt Rome and get the truth to His chosen. But, we are called to point out the error when it rears its ugly head and Rome is rearing it, again.”
Gee, don’t let your prejudices against the Catholic Church show to much. Someone might see it. And yeah, you know better how to interpret the bible than the original Christian Church. For that matter, there are so many Protestant sects now that they spend their time endlessly trying to reinterpret the Bible, and as it is Sola Scriptura, that means any person’s individual interpretation of the Bible is as good as anyone else’s is. So you end up with thousands upon thousands of interpretations. Even Martin Luther deplored the fact that every milkmaid and farmhand thought they could interpret scripture correctly.
to = too above. Typo.
I believe you mean, "...show too much."
Well, I certainly hope that someone sees it, dear lady. I would be thrilled to know many understood I am calling Rome a cult.
You, however, have picked up the mantra of Rome (so many sects, etc.). Rome fails to notice there are so many sects of Rome (Jesuits, Franciscans, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Georgetown Univ.,etc.). Perhaps more variations exist on your errant theme than on the theme of the side which rejects Rome. So, physician heal thyself. The question is, what does the Bible teach?
Martin Luther was fooled by the Catholic Church for a number of years, then God helped him escape many of their tragic errors. Then he began to tell the story of Grace. But, not everything Luther wrote, however, is correct. And no one I know thinks Jesus created Lutheranity. Or Calvinanity.
But, Jesus Christ certainly created the Gospel of Grace, through faith, and none of that from ourselves...it is the gift of God, not by works, lest any man turn out to be like Rome. And, He did not say to venerate, adore, speak to His mother when she died and went to heaven. That belongs to Him, alone.
