I am not the Pope, I am however a believer in Jesus Christ, and He is with me He is not exclusive to some group as defined by a man.
You are exactly right. I was active in the Baptist Church until I was in my 40s and most of that time I was a pianist and teacher in the church. I became a Catholic, even a lector in the Catholic Church, in my 50-60s. Now, I belong only to the church in the body of Jesus Christ. Physical churches have become too liberal and I won't be in those physical churches just to show the public I go to church. Physical churches have removed themselves too far from Jesus Christ so I removed myself from them.
I have no need for a pope or any earthly priest for I have a high priest, The One and Only High Priest, the sole Mediator able to stand between sinners and an awesome and thrice Holy God. The Bishop of Rome is a deceiver of no use to me or any other poor sinner.
“For by grace are he saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.”
