If you follow an organization (error #1), an organization which does not comport with the Scriptures it claims to have delivered (error #2), and that organization substitutes a message which calls you back to the Law (error #3 - #1,679 approx.), you have followed an empty shell.

Very good. Let us follow that and see where it goes.

If you follow the organization formed by God, who promised to stay with them via the Holy Spirit until He returns, then you have a problem with God, not the organization. If you follow only yourself, then how can the created individual claim superiority over what God has commanded? Error #1.

If the belief of divergence from Scripture is simply a matter of selective Scripture and personal interpretation (proscribed by the same Scriptures you use as authority), then we arrive at error #2.

When the Lord God Almighty in the Person of Jesus Christ says that the Law is not abolished, and one of the created says it is, we arrive at error #3.

In short, it comes down to whether one's selective reading and interpretation of Scripture is superior to the Church created by Jesus Christ or not.

I thought you gave up all this wrestling for Lent?

Let me be perfectly clear. The Body of Christ is not, repeat not, an “organization”. That is something that the RCC cooked up to keep the sheeple in chains. The Body of Christ is the assembly gathered by the Holy Spirit from all over the world, the believers in Jesus who have been rescued by the rebirth from above. Correction #1.

The organization from Rome is the outfit which has added to the simple message of faith in Jesus, granted by the grace of God. The believers in Christ don’t need papalism, sacerdotalism, indulgences, confession in booths, Hail Mary’s for penance, pergatory, sacraments, pope mobiles, and prada shoes. Correction #2

If Paul says that Jesus told him the Law is gone, then I am going to listen to the apostle appointed by Jesus. And your organization wants the credit for finding all of his letters and binding them into the Book. Now your gang doesn’t like what they say. Correction #3

If you guys would read the text and God permitted the scales to fall off, you would swim back over that infested Tiber and into the light of Christ, alone. Now, some of you might very well be among the elect, thus He will rescue you in spite of Rome. For this I am grateful. Got to run...
