[MarkBsnr]

The Church is not the object of Faith; it is the vehicle. The object of the Faith in God is the attainment of salvation, not only for ones self, but for all mankind. Jesus told us that:

Matthew 22: 34 19 When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35 and one of them [a scholar of the law] 20 tested him by asking, 36 "Teacher, 21 which commandment in the law is the greatest?" 37 He said to him, 22 "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the greatest and the first commandment. 39 The second is like it: 23 You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

These are the direct words of Jesus. How can anyone gainsay it?

The Church is not the object of Faith; it is the vehicle.

Just to be clear, we understand that when you say the Church, you mean your Catholic church...

Sorry to disappoint but I have plenty of Faith and I wouldn't ride in your church to the next corner...Your church has zero to do with the Faith of Jesus...

Good verses, they back up the object of our faith is Him, not us or any thing we might be given.
