God is my Father as the bible teaches, prists are not and the Holy Scriptures are His Word and not the word of mystics and catholic heresies. The authority of the Chruch Fathers is written of in the Pauline epistles, which Catholics shun in their vain attempt to replace God's holy word with their own lies and heresies.
Search the scriptures my friend and see how they are so different from catholic heresies, remenisent of the pharisees of LORD Jesus time differing from the Word of God given to Moses in their Kornan, or 613 ways to try and keep the 10 commandments of God and His Christ and Holy Spirit.
Catholics need to search the scriptures and reform their mystical doctrines.
