.....”We see the RC institution in conflict with Scripture in so many ways and can’t understand why when we point out the errors it’s considered “hate” For the RC pointing out that error is attacking their faith and they are obliged to defend it to prove they are faithful and worthy.”......
That’s because they have the cart before the horse......
If one understands the centrality of Jesus Christ, that HE is front and center to a Christian....and that the Church is a “reflection” of believers relationship to Him and thus a “Body of believers” then what they defend is their faith IN HIM....
It’s not necessary to defend an institute nor a church denomination, nor a church building.....You are a Christian who defends “Faith In Jesus Christ” and HE is accessible to all men no matter where they worship.
Amen!
But until someone hears The Gospel they really won't understand this.
