rather than consider that the Catholic Church might just be right?

I have considered the Catholic church and over and over it is shown to be leading men away from Christ and towards idolatry, which, if you read the Bible, is probably the greatest sin next to denying the Holy Spirit (which, as has been shown on these threads, is very nearly what Rome does by substituting the office and work of the Holy Spirit for the actions of the RCC.)

I didn't write the words, "another Christ." Those who speak for the RCC wrote them, in stark contradiction to God's word...

THE AMAZING GIFT OF THE PRIESTHOOD
by Father Kenneth Baker

"Simply stated, the Catholic priest is another Christ. Through his ordination he has been granted the amazing gift of being a channel of divine grace for the eternal salvation of those he come into contact with —- both in his official ministry and in his personal life..."

Astounding how any Christian can read those words and not be repelled.

"Another Christ...both in his official ministry AND in his personal life."

No wonder young children are so abused at the hands of one who presumes himself to be "another Christ" even in his "personal life."

That does not mean Catholics are taught that each priest is another Messiah. Those two words alter Christus are being blown wildly out of shape and proportion.

Another absurd distortion.

Not at all. When you've labored under the false interpretation of the Protestants for as long as I have, and finally learn what "overcoming" really means (instead of claiming forgiveness time after time), it's easy to figure out how much Protestant thinking is specifically designed to do the devil's work of accusing the brethren.
