"The Catholic church, which is the ONLY organization on Earth originated by Christ'

You seem quite fond of repeating that phrase. I'm wondering who taught you that LIE? Jesus did not establish and organization, He started building HIS ekklesia of spiritual new borns, who were at the beginning ALL JEWS, not catholics.

Men who sought and enjoyed power started the organization and different religion known as catholiciism today. That religion is hallmarked by pagan idol worship, eating the god of that religion, raising dead people to positions of mediators, and a host of other habits, all asserted to be essential to obtain eternal life. Of course it is ONLY God Who can place His eternal life in the born from above, who are born by HIS Grace not their striving and pride-filled works of specious righteousness.

So, where did you obtain this LIE that Jesus established an organization? From the catholic catechisms? From roman catholic priests? A pope? ... If you say from God you learned this LIE, then the truth is not in you because Jesus is building even today His ekklesia of believers in His Saving Grace, not their filthy rags works.
