It's taken deep root because the flesh has a veracious appetite to be fed. If it can be seen, felt, heard, smelled, or tasted, the flesh is satisfied. For a short time. Then it's back to the 5 senses for gratification. Which is exactly what the RCC does. Feeds the 5 senses. And deceives people into believing that the 5 senses lead to the spirit. Which is why they are so easily deceived. By "visions", "apparitions","miracles", the eucharist, sacraments, etc. All appealing to the flesh.

Sadly, 2 Cor. is completely ignored. "Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more." 5:16.

Once He ascended into heaven, everything became spiritual. Our baptism into His body, our conversation, our promises, our blessings, our position in Him.

The flesh profits nothing. Except deceit. We are told to put no confidence in the flesh. Those 5 senses that have led more men astray than we could possible imagine.

"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. ...That no flesh should glory in his presence." 1 Cor. 1:26-29.

They not only glory in his presence, they believe that they can consume His glory in their bodies at mass. Completely OPPOSITE of God's Word. Not just not close, but diametrically opposed.

Wait a second here --- are you saying that when you hear or read the Bible, the written Word of God, you are doing that somehow without using any of your five senses?

EXACTLY!! Everything about them is worldly because The Vatican/RCC is worldly. And they use their own understanding (sense) which they are told specifically not to do because God's way are higher. They use their own understanding of what a mother is. But who does Jesus consider His mother and brother - those who Hear His Word and Obeys It. They cannot 'get' that because they are leaning on their sense/earthly knowledge - willful disobedience. They get that deception from man and they believe man and not God. Who wants to be bothered with that type - when after they have been given The Truth and they rejected it over and over.

I left that cult with all it's pompous attitude - man before God. You won't find humility there but pride. What satan's kingdom is built on.
