I think I've been clear on that already. Jesus Christ ‘IS’ the Truth, the Way and Life Eternal.
Then you ask...” Do you follow man-made interpretation instead of God’s Truth?”
Well NO or I'd probably be a catholic as they hold to many man-made interpretations of the scriptures.... Instead I chose to follow the Savior....as is written....”My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 10:27,28
Jesus never made ‘an exception’ for the thief...nowhere is that written...rather He welcomed the thief into Paradise because the thief spoke all that is written/required for salvation....as it's written........”That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” ...Romans 10:9-10
The catholic church today and for centuries is not the early church Jesus established in the upper room and on the day of Pentecost and thereafter as it grew....rather it established 'itself' when it took on all the trappings, flare and pomp of Rome and it's political hierarchy of power, which Jesus warned about and they ignored.
Your fallible opinion: ‘The catholic church today and for centuries is not the early church Jesus established in the upper room and on the day of Pentecost and thereafter as it grew....rather it established ‘itself’ when it took on all the trappings, flare and pomp of Rome and it’s political hierarchy of power, which Jesus warned about and they ignored.”
May God have Mercy on you so that you may know His Truth.
The Catholic Church may have many sinners including the hierarchy, but Jesus said he would be with her until the end of time Matthew 16:18
