It is amazing at how members of the RCC delude themselves into believing that anyone outside their church cannot correctly understand their teachings. This delusion is even more baffling considering how many of us are ex-RCCers. We fully understand your church’s teachings, and we’ve chosen the authority of God as revealed through Scripture over the authority of sinful man through a flawed institution.

Perhaps you should consider that the issue is one of authority. The RCC teaches that there are multiple authorities (magisterium, tradition, scripture), and a group of men declaring which of them is valid and superior. Christians believe there is a sole authority, the Word of God, and that no man arbitrates on behalf of God.

Choose this day who you will serve. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!
