It’s rather heart breaking to watch followers of the RCC not being able to use scripture for their beliefs when scripture clearly states that we should. Yet they blindly follow for some reason. I know some of them truly want to follow Christ but have been so indoctrinated that they can’t seem to let go of false beliefs.

Scripture. What you seem to hold dear unless a Catholic posts it.
Luke. Read it.
(Lk 1:46-55)
Well put.
I think they have been warned for so long that the only life preserver they have is hooked onto the RCC, they are petrified to let go. They don’t know if they can tread water or not, they’ve never tried. They were told not to, that the Church had their life preserver for them. So what does a person do? Let go and take a chance or continue to squeeze the line and trust someone will eventually pull them to safety. It won’t be until they see the lines of others being cut to make room that they realize they aren’t safe at all. Then will come the anger. And the search for their own strengths and survival skills. They will never look back at that point. Only up.
Scripture clearly states that Jesus did more than it contains and Jesus clearly states that He had much more to teach them...I tell you all this now, while I am still with you....
John 14 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
We do not blindly follow, we accept in faith, trusting Jesus.
