It is odd that non Catholics care about the Catholic church. It is like looking into the window at our shop every day when you pass by.

“It is odd that non Catholics care about the Catholic church.”

Rubbish! If Rome could leave the rest of the world alone I might agree with you. But in light of clear biblical warnings plus Rome’s bloody history, power, goals and soul-destroying doctrine, there is nothing odd about it. We would be foolish not to care. We would be heartless Christians if we didn’t sound the alarm.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

It’s more like pulling over to look at a car wreck.

You see yourself as an individual going at it alone with Christ. We see ourselves as a community.

It has to be one on one for a personal relationship...As Christians, the Holy Spirit indwells individual bodies...

It is odd that non Catholics care about the Catholic church.

I care nothing for the Catholic Church...It is individuals who I care about...Those individuals who don't have a one on one personal relationship with the Savior; those individuals who are told not to worry about a personal relationship...

It is impossible to be a Christian by association...

Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

It is very personal...This indwelling of the Holy Spirit is an individual thing...There's no 'group' to it...That person in line in front of you who just ate the Eucharist may not have the Holy Spirit dwelling within him/them...It's very personal and you'd better be sure...
