I don’t know about God. After all, 1 Corinthians 14:33 says: “33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.”
The so-called “Reformation” only brought division, divisiveness, and ultimately the destruction of a united Christendom in Western Europe.
That’s your interpretation.
I guess you think all the protestants and the people they have converted all over the world are not saved.
Otherwise, what are you complaining about.
Sounds like you are in a cult, rather than a Christendom.
The pope cannot define who is saved or not saved (no matter what proclaimattions he administers).
Only Jesus Christ can proclaim who is his.
Every earthbound church has errors. I suggest that since you are rooting for the Catholic church you should not cast stones, because the Catholics have plenty of extra-biblical behaviors.
You don't seem to realize that those Catholics who dumped your religion did it willingly...
And why did they do that???
It's because they finally heard and ultimately read what God really had to say about Himself and them, which contradicted what your religion taught them...
Even now, people who trust Jesus as their Savior could never trust your Church to be their savior...These Reformers go right to the head of the church, Jesus Christ...As a result, they are put into the church, the Body of Christ, by Jesus...
Obviously you don't believe someone can go directly to Jesus and bypass your religion...Well, we've studied the scriptures and we know better...You guys obviously do not study the scriptures but get your theology from the same bunch who were in charge when the Reformation started...
So you've got the same choice as anyone else...Keep doing what you are doing or pick up the God breathed words in the scriptures and find out why the Reformers reformed...
