To: Salvation
I do not have a problem with the Catholic church in General, nor do I wish to trash the Catholic church. I do however have a problem with the concept that the only way to Christianity is to submit yourself to the authority and teachings of the Catholic church, and the Pope. I personally have served in several different denominations, and currently serve in a Baptist church. As well I have several Catholic friends, and we share a deep mutual respect to each others religious values, as well as several doctrinal similarities. My concept is as long as you can respect me as a Christian, I respect you as a Christian, when one attempts to exclude me as a Christian solely because I worship under a different church sign, then they exclude only themselves. "Ga 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." My deepest regards, and I hope we can come to terms on this point.
