My point is that we’re at an impasse. You consider my faith faulty because I trust in Christ apart from the Roman Catholic church. And I consider your faith faulty because of the extra requirements of allegiance to Rome and its extra-biblical doctrines. Perhaps peace is found in simply recognizing that Christ saves different people through different means, that what He said with his final breath on the cross is true.

If you say that, you have no clue as to my beliefs. My friend Kosta is Serbian Orthodox and I do not believe his faith faulty. My friend Kolo is Greek Orthodox and I do not believe his faith faulty. My friend NYer is Maronite and I do not find her faith faulty.

And I consider your faith faulty because of the extra requirements of allegiance to Rome and its extra-biblical doctrines.

I have no allegiance to Rome. I follow the Church. I despair at times of enlightening all those who would disparage the Church. I would that you guys would simply get it right as to the Church of Christ and not your comic book beliefs.

Perhaps peace is found in simply recognizing that Christ saves different people through different means, that what He said with his final breath on the cross is true.

Jesus spent three years in teaching His fledgling Church and the Holy Spirit commissioned it. Beyond that I dare not go, for the sake of my soul.
