You were given freewill to enable you to make your own judgment calls, as was I. You are free to reject the Catholic teachings on this and any other matter of faith, as am I. I have completely entrusted my life to Jesus and Jesus dwells in me. I am at peace that my beliefs in Him are true. I will continue to attend Mass, partake of His Body and Blood and when possible visit Him in adoration.
I wish you the peace that I have found in Him
beliefs in Him? Who is Jesus? Jesus IS THE WORD. NO one can be under 'man made teachings/doctrines' - that you so vehemently defend - and be correct in saying 'my beliefs in Him are true'.
"A double minded man is unstable in all he does." James 1:8
"No one can serve two masters...." Matt 6:24
I wish you the peace that I have found in Him
It's like some guy or girl saying, 'I love my spouse' when they are on their way to meet another lover.
Isaiah 29:13 The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.
You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.'" Matt 15:7-9
You hypocrites! - Do you feel the love? Do you see the fruit of the Spirit?
