To remain alone and outside, tasked to figure out your own religion, is a sad and needless choice.

How much wrong can you get in just once sentence.

First of all - Christians are never alone. God is w/them 24/7. He never leaves nor forsakes them. The Holy Spirit indwells them - He is their Comforter and Teacher - just like Jesus designed for His Church and stated in His Word. And it's not about a 'religion' but a personal relationship with God and spreading the gospel - the good news. They assemble together with their brothers and sisters 'in Christ' as His Family. Jesus is the Head of His Body and we all members of His Body - where HIS WORD is the FINAL Authority.

You have a religion with man made teachings - a church of their own creation with their doctrines and traditions. It is totally different than God's church - that is why you are so confused. God's Word is the Final Authority is for His Church. If one doesn't believe that Truth they aren't part of His church.

The choice to follow Jesus Christ who is One Way, One Truth and One Life is not a sad and needless choice for God's Own children - we wouldn't have it any other way. But not a choice you/Catholics are willing to make.

Jesus is the Head of His Body and we all members of His Body - where HIS WORD is the FINAL Authority.

Jesus is the final authority, so we have a major bibliolatry disconnect here.

You appear to think you interpretation of Holy Scripture is the same as God's, but that causes an even bigger disconnect.

Christians are never alone. God is w/them 24/7.

But not Christ's Church apparently. Jesus's prayer for us is a dead letter. You and God and Scripture, that's your idea of Church.

Alone in your church, by yourself. A congregation of one alone. That is my point that you illustrate so well. Thank you.
