The Catholic Church does not accept the Mormon Baptism. Mine doesn't accept infant baptism.

I Love it when a protestant (the first Christian dissidents) after 1,600 years, decided to change the rules and the way things are done...20,000 or so denominations, all with their own way of dong things, want do determine what is and what is not Christianity.....why not just go back to the beginning, rejoin the Catholic church, and remove all doubt??

I guess there would not be too much wrong with that but i believe the Catholic Church also has things that go against what Jesus taught.

mat 20:24
And hearing this, the ten became indignant with the two brothers.

25
But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

26
“It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,

27
and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;

28
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”


The Catholic Church has their very important men and then the lesser ones and then the peons, and is an absolute contradiction to what Jesus taught,and so do many other Churches who left the catholic Church.

How many of the peons could even get close enough to the pope, or for that matter even a cardinal to talk to them?

Not to mention tithes which any one who is even half way knowledgeable on the Bible knows that tithing was a tax paid to the government of Israel and collected by the Leviticus priesthood.

That is just a couple little details, or maybe it is some very big details.

I have met lots of very good people who are Catholic,s and i have met lots of good people from other Churches, that is people who believes in what Jesus told us to do.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Also, any one who likes to read the Bible should realize just how lucky they are that the reformation happened, other wise there may not be Bibles for every one to read, the people would just know what the Church wanted them to know.

There is no perfect Church, that is why God made it possible for every one to have a bible to read.

And you may have noticed that if we all were so busy doing the things that Jesus told us to do in regards to one another we would be much too busy to do the few little things Jesus told us not to do.
