Yo!
Another *FORMER* Catholic chiming in.
The RCC lied to me about many things, but the one thing that made me leave without even a second thought was their lies about Salvation.
It took a Protestant to point it out to me in black & white in The Bible (you can’t argue God’s Holy Word).
It is my belief that the RCC has sent billions of souls to hell over the centuries for these lies.
God made it so simple that most of humanity ridicules His Word and Truth about Heaven & His Kingdom.
Acts 16:31
John 6:29
John 14:6
Romans 10:9-13
1 John 4:15
I trust The Bible (Sola Scriptura) over man made religion - which is all denominations actually, especially the Constantine crafted RCC.
Would you rather trust God’s Word or your “church” organization about your Eternal Destiny?
What exactly has the Catholic Church lied about?
I believe you are mistaken.
Trust a church for your salvation that can't even guarantee it?
Join some so-called church, jump through all the Catholic hoops, only to find out in the end, when it's too late, that you didn't make it after all?
WHY would anyone want to do that?
Your comment: “The RCC lied to me about many things, but the one thing that made me leave without even a second thought was their lies about Salvation.”
You drank the kool-aid. So you believe that Jesus forgave all of your future sins when you say that you are saved? Is that really logical? Why did Jesus give His Apostles and their successors the authority to forgive sins or to retain them?
Do protestants read the whole Bible or just ignore the parts that they don’t like?
Your comment: “Would you rather trust God’s Word or your “church” organization about your Eternal Destiny?”
I trust the infallible authority that Jesus gave to the Catholic Church to Preach the Good News and Baptize all nations rather than the fallible interpretation of heretical men and women.
For your sake, I hope you reconsider before your death as a Baptized Catholic you have the opportunity to make a confession with absolution before you die.
