That statement can be demonstrably wrong in fact. Humanity is a big group of people, of which I am one. I am sure there are others here. As a matter of fact, I know quite a few of them who have the same interpretation of Scripture. Almost daily I see these threads glorifying the Catholic Church, but giving short shrift to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You know, the guy that said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father, but by me”.
It is a shame that criticism is considered to be an attack. But, there are so many threads each day trying to drum up business for the Catholic Cult, that there are many of us who are determined that the truth from Scripture is seen just as much. If you check my history, I'm sure you'll see where I use Scripture quite often. After all, it was good enough for Jesus.
So we will not back off. We don't need to buy a clue because we already have the Holy Spirit in our lives, bringing all things to our remembrance. We have the promise made by Jesus that “I will never leave you nor forsake you”. We have the words of Paul throughout the New Testament affirming the liberty in our lives and the source of our salvation. It is not found in a hollow self-declared group, no matter how old they claim to be. You see, God is eternal, and God is a Spirit. He doesn't prance around in fancy garments making hollow promises that if you just do things our group tells you, and believe all the rhetoric that we teach you, that you may be able to at least get to purgatory, even if you're not the best of persons. But God will not be mocked.
Roman Catholics are free to believe in their church offering them salvation, but it is completely against what the word of God has to say. So, no, we will not be backing off from any confrontations with the falsehoods being propagated by the cult of Roman Catholicism.
Our mission is to spread the gospel, the good news that Jesus Christ came to earth in order to live a perfect life. No mortal man can complete the task. Jesus Christ was crucified, as a sacrifice so that we may live eternally. He was raised up on the third day as a sign to all of the world that death could not hold him. He ascended into heaven and sits on the right hand of God the father.
So, there is no group on earth that can claim to speak for God. God is perfectly able to make it clear through his word, illuminated by the Holy Spirit. Graven images of a woman who gave birth to Christ, whom the Roman Catholics have elevated her to a position where she speaks to Christ for us, and graven images of dead men and women who are called saints who allegedly holds some special powers with God, are abomination to God.
Have a nice life on earth, but be sure to know that Peter does not make any decision about our future in eternity. Nor is there any man claiming to speak for him that can separate us from the love of God, according to Scripture. Believe it or not!
AMEN!
Preach it, brother.
