Who cares what you maintain? You have opinions but no authority.

The New Testament is a collection of texts written by Catholics to an already existing, nascent, Catholic Church. It is solely due to the authority of the Catholic Church you even have a New Testament to try and attack the Church Jesus established (Matt 16: 18,19). Google "Didache" and see what the Disciples of Jesus did.

Unless you are part of a Church which worships Jesus as He Himself taught us to Worship God, then you are on the wrong path and wasting your time castigating long dead pagans.

To worsship God in spirt and truth one must participate in the Sacrifice of the New Covenant and the New Covenant meal. That IS what the early Christians did - it is even in the Bible. Ask me sometime and I weill point it out to you :)

I have a little life in me, yes. Thanks be to God. I didn't realize the Apostles were all Catholic. My mistake (or not). Jesus lived a simple life and taught simple values about the love of God. He continually ran into problems with the local religious leaders because of their "traditions". Generally the older a churches history the more traditions and rituals they acquire. I prefer to meditate on Christs life than the teachings of any church. Who cares what you maintain Noone. I only have the authority of free will granted to me by God. And that's authority enough for me.

Now who is doing the judging?

"It is solely due to the authority of the Catholic Church you even have a New Testament"

I attribute the Bible and its contents to God. Glory be to God in the highest for He is forever merciful. As you have stated I only have my opinions.
