Your comment: “May the Holy Spirit infiltrate the minds of those that resist.”Stopping your projecting in mid misdirection.Yes. I agree and hope that the protestors listen to the words of Jesus...
Yes, the Catholics started the protesting about a 1000 yrs ago, when they broke away from the Christians because those following the words of Jesus were so orthodox they would not follow false leaders (popes) and the man made doctrines emanating from Rome.
The protesting is still going on by those blinded by false doctrine that they are required to believe.
Catholicism continues to try to convince Christians that they know better than the words of Jesus.
I take the words of Jesus very seriously and I hope others will do likewise.
Twisting them into Catholic talking points shows a lack of in depth of studying the scriptures with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
...those that do not fully accept or believe Jesus
More projection, and quite ironic.
[This from a guy that thinks that a "Consecrated Eucharist host" can be soiled.
If the host really contained Jesus, to call it "soiled" is high blaspheme.]
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?--Matthew 7:3Now here is a "pearl" for you:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.--Romans 10:9Just pray to Jesus calling on the Holy Spirit and confess like in the Romans verse above and you will be saved.
That is the first step.
God is just a little smarter than you are. His official teaching in the Scripture and the Doctrine of the Church is inspired and you are not. Scripture says, All we, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way (Is 55:8). Or again, Can the pot say to the potter, “You know nothing”? (Is 29:16) Or yet again, Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, “What are you making?” (Is 45:9) But still many go on with their own opinions and will not abide even the clear correction of God.
