I can understand that coming from someone who doesn’t know Church teaching or believe in the premise of the mass. To Catholics, rejecting worship of Christ is a sin.

I think the problem is I understand it too well

Catholics see salvation as a corporate thing, found in and through the church

protestants see salvation as an individual event that CAUSES membership in the church

There are many definitions of brother. The context I was using it in refers to those in need: who are hungry or thirsty, in need of shelter, need clothing, are sick or in prison. Matthew 25-46 will help you with the context. Pay special attention where the Lord says ”I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me."

You may see it that way, but if we are seeking truth and to find how God determines who is our brother.. The goats are not my brethren, the teaching of the universal "brotherhood of man " is not found in scripture.. That is a rather new non biblical theology

Jesus makes clear that the unsaved are the children of satan and not God.. I am a child of God.. so they are not my brother .

Jhn 13:35 — By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another...

1Th 4:9 — But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

When I love an unsaved man, I do not look at it as a command of God, but a human kindness ...

You don't demonstrate that when you post about the teachings of the Church.

Catholics see salvation as a corporate thing, found in and through the church Catholics see salvation as a corporate thing, found in and through the church

Here's what the Catholic Catechism actually says:

169 Salvation comes from God alone; but because we receive the life of faith through the Church, she is our mother: "We believe the Church as the mother of our new birth, and not in the Church as if she were the author of our salvation."55 Because she is our mother, she is also our teacher in the faith.

You may see it that way

No, I just quoted Scripture.

When I love an unsaved man, I do not look at it as a command of God, but a human kindness ...

How generous of you.

INDEED. AMEN! AMEN!
