You should try the Jesus of the Bible instead of the Catholic Jesus.
The Jesus of the Bible is with us even when we do sin. He doesn't abandon us every time we slip up.
He promised here.....
Matthew 28:18-20 18 And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
To say that Jesus leaves us for any reason, is to call Him a liar.
And Paul, yeah the guy Catholics love to hate, says in Romans 8
Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
David understood it like a Protestant:
Psalm 51:12The JOY! of it - NOT salvation itself.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
AMEN!!
We have to know JESUS to follow HIM. And His Word alone is The Way and His SPIRIT is The Teacher.
Worldly organizations found a better way - they will teach man made beliefs and will ‘say’ it’s from God. Anyone who falls for such deception has no interest in knowing God.
Catechism is the authority in a worldly organization set up by man and teach man made doctrine.
Satan always has a counterfeit truth to the things of God and Catholicism isn’t the only one. There is Mormonism, Islam, Buddhism, Atheism, etc. ALL with their own ‘Book’ of beliefs.
God’s Holy Spirit Inspired Word is The Final Authority. IT always was and always will be. HE ALONE reigns!
Amen ...Christ IN YOU the hope of Glory
