I didn't say that every Roman Catholic or Orthodox follower was spiritually dead.
Some may be saved, if they believed the true Gospel(justification by faith alone in Christ alone), and are not depending on the teachings (works) of their Church to save them.
The doctrines of both Churches are dead, depending on the traditons of men, rather than the words of God (Mk.7:7-10).
Any 'Church' that has idols and monks is a dead 'Church' and the home of Satan, not of God.(Rev.2:20-24)
Forth, Do you know what a "Church" is? It is a community of believers. Not a building. Not a denomination. It is the individuals of the community. Thus, when you say
"your 'Church' is as 'spiritually dead as they are"
You are saying the entire community is spiritually dead. Is that the wisest thing to say? I don't think so. I think such comments demand at least an apology and a clarification.
The doctrines of both Churches are dead, depending on the traditons of men, rather than the words of God (Mk.7:7-10).
That is your personal opinions, which, quite frankly, totally ignores YOUR traditions of men, such as Sola Scriptura, an invention of MEN of the 1500's that ironically is not found in the Bible anywhere, and Sola Fide, an invention of MEN of the 1500's that is DENIED EXPLICITLY in the Bible, in particular, James 2.
Don't bother with your lame explanations. I've heard them and I am not in the mood to get sick on a weekend...
Look to the beam in your eye, forth, look to the beam...
