I love my protestant brothers and sisters and I want them to have what is theirs through Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour.
I do have what is mine through Jesus Christ, my lord and savior. He gave me eternal life through his death,burial and resurrection. It is a free gift that I received and now I am a joint heir and have all the benefits that that allows. I don't have to do anything for it because he did it all. You have a religious system just as the Jews had theirs in the law and it won't please our Lord one bit. You are the one that is substituting man made service instead of faith in what Jesus did.
Happy New Year and GB!
He established a Church.
He established His Church upon Peter.
He gives us His Grace and uses it to build upon our fallen nature in and through the Church He established via His Sacramental system and especially the Last Supper/First Eucharist.
None of that is man made. ALL of that is but the action of Jesus. It is Jesus, working through the Priesthood He established, who offers Himself, as both priest and victim, as a Holy and Pure Sacrifice of Propitiation and we Christians, members of the Royal Priesthood, offer ourselves, our life, works, prayers, joys, sufferings, etc in conjunction with His Perfect Sacrifice and that is what makes our offering acceptable and pleasing to God.
Communities established in opposition to His Church are man made and are void of Sacrificial Worship which, as Malachias prophesied and Jesus Commanded is the way Jesus Himself taught us to Worship God. In those Communities, fellowship and service is a man made construct devoid of the actions of Jesus. You have no priesthood to offer Sacrifice. Your communities repudiated all that came before then and substituted man made religion comprised of sermons and songs.
Now, there is nothing wrong with that at all. IF those actions were linked to the actions of Jesus as He Commanded, then that would be an offering acceptable to God. Without Jesus, that is not an acceptable offering.
