I never have made such a claim. You're bearing false witness.
And it was you said, "Fools think a church saves them"....hypocrite.
>>>I never have made such a claim. You’re bearing false witness.>>>
You didn’t know that the Roman Catholic church considers itself to be God on earth, the pope is the vicar of Christ on earth? Why do you think she thinks she can absolve sins? Change the holy law of God? Look at your Catechism. She changed the Sabbath or God’s holy day, from the 7th day to the first day. She claims she had the authority to do that.
Of course this was all prophecied in Daniel 7:25.........He, the antiChrist, the little horn of Daniel 7, shall think himself able to “change set times and law.”
vespa - perhaps read the Bible - if you look at Exodus 20:2-17
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.and Deuteronomy 5:6-213 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
6 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.you will notice that They are NOT numbered - there are in fact about 13 specific instructions from God but we are told these are ten commandments7 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.
8 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 10 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
12 “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do. 15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
16 “Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
17 “You shall not murder.
18 “You shall not commit adultery.
19 “You shall not steal.
20 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
21 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
The Jewish method is similar to the Catholic/Orthodox/Coptic/Assyrian method
There was a NEW numbering created in the 16th century and today's non-Catholic western groups use that modernist method
The Catholic and ORthodox method puts and emphasis on the context of God being the only object of worship in the first few instructions keeping them together into one commandment. This is closer to the Jewish method
The non-Catholic western groups created a new numbering in the 16th century under influence from iconoclastic Islam
That's because all those "churches" you promote are false churches.

In reading the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, only one religious power/system fits the little horn of Daniel 7, the whore of babylon, the man of lawlessness.....and the reformers got it right.
She is who the bible says she is.....Rome. Pagan Rome to Papal Rome.....no other power fits. None.
Lutherans, righteousness by faith, Baptists, baptism by immersion, Methodists, holy living......Adventists, restoring the Sabbath........yeah.....truth being restored as God dictated in his time.
Y'all are no different than the heretics who built the Tower of Babel.
God destroyed that tower, as He will your many towers.
