Jo, there are plenty of posts on this thread about THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL.
I have no capacity or desire to FORCE belief in the truth.
Either The Lord will break through whatever needs broken through to reveal His truth to individuals because of their seeking Him and His Truth earnestly and persistently in a good faith attitude and spirit . . .
or He won’t.
But I assure you most emphatically that there is NO WAY that the RC edifice
OR ANY OTHER HUMAN ORGANIZATION
EQUAL
THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL.
ABSOLUTELY NO WAY . . . 0.0000000000000000000000000000% CHANCE. NADA, ZIP.
God Almighty is NOT that small. Nor is HIS CHURCH.
First, Church = human organization of the people of God...What do you think it is? Some pretend, non-existent entity?
Second, I never made the claim that the Catholic Church = the Church of Christ. Nor does the Catholic Church. It says the Church of Christ SUBSISTS in the Catholic Church, not IS the Catholic Church. The Fullness of the Truth exists within her. My previous post says that those outside of this visible union MAY be united to her in an unknown manner only known to God. So you are not excluded from the Church. But this Church, visibly, is Catholic.
Regards
I intend this not to say I'm right and you're not to to note the differences in lingo.
