Again, and I really hope you can understand this....I am a follower of the Jewish carpenter from Nazareth, Jesus Christ.

I'm sorry, but I just don't believe you follow Christ. Otherwise, you would not reject His Church, the one and only Church, that He founded.

Christ didn't found any church. He founded His assembly.

I cannot help what you believe.

I've put it on the internet that I believe Jesus died for me.

He does not tell us to join a church but to come and follow Him. The church is the body of believers of which I am a part.

He offers forgiveness of my sins for which I am thankful.

I know that it is only through Him that I have forgiveness.

There are no good deeds I can do to earn salvation.

Based on the promise in Ephesians 1:13-14, I, along with any follower of Christ, have been sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise Who is given to us as a pledge of our inheritance.

Are you a follower of Christ? Do you believe He will forgive your sins?

Prove that Catholicism IS the church that Jesus allegedly founded.

And besides, what is Catholicism going to do for me that Jesus couldn't or wouldn't?
