I thank God every single day that I am a Catholic. Why? Because Christ is at the center of my life.
The Catholic Church (The First Church of Christ, founded by Him, protected by Him and loved by Him) gives me His truth, every single day of my life.
And I am so grateful.
We, as Protestants, seek His truth 'with' the Lord first and foremost,..... and our Pastors are accountable to us as the members of Christ's body of believers....for what they preach....just as it is written.
Therein is the difference.
The Church gives you His truth. Oy! I get mine straight, unfiltered from Gods Holy Word but do as you see fit for you.
But are you one of his sheep??? Does he know your name??? Are you indwelt with the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead???
If not, Jesus left some words for you to ponder...
