You may misinterpret this as condescension, but it is a clear warning. Romanism is a cult...plain and simple. The so-called Roman Catholic Church organized itself around 300AD (if you read history honestly and ignore the party line propaganda). The NT was long formed (and the OT was in place by the Jews for hundreds of years), the body of believers well-taught in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ...the one and only Gospel of Grace. According to Paul, there is no "other" gospel, but just the bewitching of error. Gal. 1
And, no, Rome did not give us the Bible, if you are willing to listen to true history. Read the "Origin of the Bible" and get a feel for how the text really came together. So, ignoring the sick, self-aggrandizing homemade "religion" of Rome in favor of the Truth of Jesus as found in the Scriptures is not only appropriate, but absolutely necessary.
And, no, Rome did not descend from the Apostles, but from the Judaizers. Go read the text which you claim was delivered from Rome and you will find no reference to a Catholic Church in any way, shape, or form. There is no sacerdotalism (Jesus is the only Priest, a High Priest in Heaven), there is no Roman superiority (only individual gatherings of believers spread all over the world), and there is only, only, only grace creating faith...and none of that from ourselves, it is all a gift.
And, no, the Catholic cult has not stood fast. It is full of Nazi-loving (go look at the pictures of the pope shaking hands with Hitler and Mussolini), homosexuals, pedophiles, and worst of all...bad teachers of error. They teach a gospel of works directed by themselves. Blasphemy, my FRiend.
We extend the offer for all those in the Roman cult to come out into the light of Jesus, alone...if He permits. Paul, of course, said that the decision to be rescued lies only in the hands of God...not men. But, we are to extend thr offer and see if God permits. Similar to Acts 13:48. Check it out. Grace to you.
Maybe the roman Jesus is another Jesus.
But that would be a real blow to protestants who love the roman holy days of December 25 and easter Sunday found nowhere in scripture.they can be found in the Roman catholic catechism..
And it would explain why Mary in her 15 promises for praying the rosary, can be proven to be a liar on her ‘son’s witness when He confronted Satan with scripture..
Well, your data is well contradicted. Believe as you choose.
