!!WRONG!!

As eternity will show.

I have no hatred of any authentically Christian organization . . . even wholesale-in-error ones.

I do hate what God hates . . .

e.g. idolatry . . .

deception . . .

hero worship . . .

putting things other than God first.

SUBSTITUTING RITUAL, SHAM AND PRETENSE for RELATIONSHIP.

. . .

We destroyed the idols of the ancient world and have no idols.

“deception . . .”

Our catechism is published and easily found. No deception.

“hero worship . . .”

We love our heros - and God loves them too, but no one woships them. Maybe you should talk to the Calvinists who have been posting articles every day about Calvin’s birthday?

“putting things other than God first.”

God is always first with us. Every Mass, for instance, is dedicaed to Him.

“SUBSTITUTING RITUAL, SHAM AND PRETENSE for RELATIONSHIP.”

We have rituals but they strengthen our relationship with God just as weddng anniversaries strengthen marriages. We have no shams and and no pretense. We are not johnny-come-lately Protestants who presume to dismiss all before them and even to cut books from th Bible while, ironically, claiming sola scriptura is valid.
