Yes they did...there was no one else there to do it....God used the Catholic church to be the messenger for His message...
False. The catholics obstructed truth then, as now. We have a high priest... Call no man father... No such thing as infant baptism... Etc. Etc. Etc.
Paul warned about the coming of catholicism, which coming would send the true church into hiding.
1 Tim 4:1-4: Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. NKJV
I grew up in a community dominated by catholics. I never realized the reason I never had meat on Friday in the cafeteria was because of false doctrine.
Could you tell me why Paul wrote the letter to the Roman church? What two main errors was he addressing?
