So you cast the first stone, then you must be without sin.
Judge not, lest you you be judged.
Why do you want the destruction of the church that Christ founded? The Catholic Church has the Eucharist - The Body and Blood of Christ that we can receive at Mass. Why do you want to eliminate a gift from Jesus?
Yes there are sinners in the Church, just as their are sinners everywhere. Jesus worked with the sinners, why are you offended at the church that tries to help individuals attain everlasting life with God?
I am certainly offended by the sin, as is God.
This is SWEET!!
Coming from one of the BIGGEST 'judges' of FR Protestants!!
"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?... And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?... Do you not know that we shall judge angels?... How much more, things that pertain to this life?.. If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge ? (1 Corinthians 6:1-5).
Many commands of God require the exercise of righteous judgment.
"But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us" (2 Thessalonians 3:6).
"And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother" (2 Thessalonians 3:14,15).
"Teach and exhort these things. If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wrangling of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself" (2 Timothy 6:2b-5).
"Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple" (Romans 16:17,18).
All these commands require the careful exercise of righteousness judgment. Do not be deceived by smooth words and flattering speech. Beware of wolves who come to you with a sheep's skin.
We must be careful not to make unqualified judgments. But we must judge appropriately when commanded to do so.
"Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." (John 7:24).
Sadly, you have no idea where you are in grave error or how to leave it.
You have conflated the institutional ORG of Catholiciism with the actual church, THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST made up of ALL those who have believed in Jesus as Savior and Lord Christ since 30 AD, many years before any institutional org was established. ... And we know what Paul warned regarding not discerning the true body, in his letter to the Corinthians regarding the REMEBRANCE.
Catholic priesthood remains clueless to the blasphemoies in that religion. Not discerning the Ture Body of Christ and instead pretending to eat the flesh and blood of Jesus, when GOD removes the body of Christ, the Ekklesia of living and dead believers, Catholiciism's priesthood will have not a clue to what just happened in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.[See 1Thess $:13-17 and 1Cor 15:51-53 for GOD's offered clues]
Harsh words? Yes, there is great need for the whip and overturning the proverbial tables/sacraments of falsehood.
Jesus Christ instructs John of Patmos to: "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
You guys have done really well...
