When Christ established His Church, not only was there not a New Testament, there wasn't even a well-established version of what we call the Old Testament.

The Church Fathers didn't need to explain how the Church was set up in the Bible because they all belonged to it.

Now, hundreds of years later, you can't read about it in the Bible so you disrespect it, but you do so at your peril, at the peril of your immortal soul.

And there wasn't a Catholic church either. Just a bunch of believers in Christ who heard the Word and the Holy Spirit worked on their hearts to show them the truth. Neither was there a need to say mantras, of which Christ himself expressly warned against. The Spirit hears our groanings as our prayers are lifted up directly to God. Or do you not understand the meaning of the veil being torn in two? No more priests as we all have a direct line to God when we fall on our knees.

Now, hundreds of years later, you can't read about it in the Bible so you disrespect it, but you do so at your peril, at the peril of your immortal soul.

What am I disrespecting? I'm not the one quoting leaders from a church that state there is more than one way to God. I don't remember seeing that in God's Word. Do you?
