...I certainly do not deny the history of the Church. That is, of course, why I am not Catholic...He [Jesus] had little regard for their rules and traditions.It is my firm belief that he has the same opinion of the rules and traditions of the Catholic Church

I wish you would offer some concrete reasons, facts, to back your claims. Thus far, you have offered none. But your ignorance is glaringly obvious: Jesus was an observant Jew Who fulfilled the Law, not someone Who rejected it.

Our Lord's teachings show that God's revelation was gradual and it is His interpretation of it that is more complete. The OT is not corrupt; it is obsolete (Heb 8:13).

People are corrupt by nature and they will corrupt everything, including the faith. That corruption is even in the translations of the Bible you read. Show me one church whose memebrs are not corrupt or else find a better argument.

I said earlier that I had made my last post on this thread, but please permit me this additional comment.

I never said that Jesus was not an observant Jew. I did say that the religious leaders in that time did not understand the scriptures that they professed to interpret. These were the same church leaders that had Him crucified.

I have also never said that the OT was corrupt, only some of the people that professed to teach it.

Your last statement is totally correct. I cannot find a church that made up of members who are not corrupt. That is my point. ALL men are corrupt, and therefor none are worthy of worship, except the Lord Jesus.

Let me leave you with one concrete reason why the original article cited on this thread is wrong. John 3:16

God Bless
