>>The Holy Spirit who dwells in every true believer, comforts us. We don't need an institution to do it in His place.<<
As I was praying about this last night I heard the answer. The first word in Christian is Christ. As Im reading through this thread I see some who quote Christ and scripture. Many others refer to church catechism or other positions of the church.
I re read many of the posts this morning. Its becoming obvious to me what the difference between a Christian and a Churchian is. Its who they look to first for answers. Watch each post to see where they get their core beliefs. Is it Christ or is it the church?

Did it become obvious to you who looks for any excuse to disagree with or criticize Catholics, and did it become obvious how ignorant they were?

Yeah, there’s a big difference between Christianity and churchianity, and too many people cannot understand the difference.
I daresay that churchianity has done more to drive people from Christ than anything else Satan has come up with.
