Hello, Metmom. None of those scriptures you provided appoints Jodyel as the arbiter of where Christ lives. The Bible says that Christ lives in us - we being members of the church body. Yet Jodyel has declared that those members of the church body who happen to be Catholic do not have Christ living in them. I tend to disagree with this assessment, which is why I questioned Jodyel’s authority to decide.

I think anyone who claims to be filled with the Spirit and therefore able to stand in judgement over the souls of others had better be blatantly and even painfully displaying that the same Spirit is a full time resident and not merely a part time occupant who flits out from time to time whenever the person in question decides to go for blood on an internet message board.

There are some who have accepted Christ who do stay in the Catholic church. Some do it out of desire to share with their fellow Catholics who are friends or relatives.

Some, especially older people, do it out of just not wanting to change at that point in their lives. Catholicism is all they’ve ever known and they are comfortable there.

I don’t doubt that there are genuine believers within Catholicism, just as there are genuine believers in ANY denomination. Likewise, there are unbelievers in any denomination. The only thing that would change between denominations is the percentages, the ratio between believer and unbeliever (those just playing church).
