Single issue conversions are like single issue voters. Leave the Protestant church to join a church with greater errors? Tying ones eternal future to some organized religion is pure folly.

Salvation comes with a faith in Christ alone. Put your trust in Jesus, not some organized “religion”. Then find a Bible based group to study scripture and give praise to God.

Sounds like some kind of cult the way they are always going on about “Mother Church” and stuff.

I don’t care about Priests, robes, incense, foreign languages, candles, all that pomp and crap. We don’t human authority, we need to share the good news. Let us not pretend the messengers are less prone to sin or more important than those in the pews.

“Leave the Protestant church to join a church with greater errors..............


What is the Protestant Church? Seriously - what is the definition of ‘the Protestant Church’?

I ask this with a sincere and Christian heart. I have lots of Protestant friends. Many are very good and holy Christians; others, not so much [reminds me of many members of the Catholic Church].

If Protestants could come together with some sort of unity, they would be a more formidable bulwark against the current zeitgeist, the secularization of the culture. I think this article is intending to raise the issue of our lack of unity in Christ.

Catholics need to get serious too. Either we love God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - or we will fail in our goal, that is, ‘winning the prize’ described in Paul’s epistles.

How can the greater ‘Body of Christ resist the evils that are weighing us down, both here in the USA, the Western world, and the non-Christian world when we are so divided? How can God help us if we do not help ourselves and resolve to work together for those values which we all cherish? Looking at the Islamic jihadists, we can see a stark contrast to the Christian world. They are intent on imposing their ghastly religion on all of us.

May God Have Mercy Upon Us.

Amen! Those who trust in their “church” more than trusting God are that much more easily deceived.
