What’s your new religion?

How hold is it? Who founded it?

Who are you leaders; your “good shepherds”; and who of them has not sinned?

Cast not the first stone from your protestant glass house.

Beloved, these things have to happen so that the end will come. Just love one another as He commanded and hold fast to what you were taught when you first believed. The wicked will be wicked. The righteous will be righteous. Hate evil and love good, but most of all love another.

No new *religion*. Just believing on Jesus as He said we needed to.

Age doesn't make right.

Nobody *founded* it because coming to Jesus is not about a religious system of works.

It's a heart issue, just like this one.

Luke 18:1-8 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’”

And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Ah, as expected, trotting out the ole *we're all sinners* meme to justify and excuse a kind of debauchery that got Sodom and Gomorrah smoked.

I can't imagine standing before God and trying to explain how I excused and glossed over that kind of heinous sin implying that it was just pretty much normal stuff.

Of maybe for Catholics it is, so they're not so bothered by it?

Or they won't condemn it because then they'd be condemning themselves?

All I know is that the pastors I've known of who engaged in immorality were removed from the pulpit post haste and when you read about any instances in Non-Catholic churches of pedophilia, they are followed by words like *arrested* and *jail*, instead of *moved to a different parish and nobody was told*.
