“They refuse to acknowledge that it is faith IN Jesus Christ and not in a church
The Catholic Church is the body of Christ. Christ “is the head of the body. You hate the Catholic Church you hate Christ.
So inclusive...
Mark 9:39-41
But Jesus said, "Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.
"For he who is not against us is for us.
"For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
Who said I “hate” anyone? I disagree with your dogma. You seem to react to my disagreement with hatred, rage, condescension and arrogance.
I love my Lord. I simply won't kow-tow to the modern day pharisees and scribes who tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other peoples shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. They claim the authority to shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in peoples faces. They refuse to enter, and yet they forbid entry to any who are trying to enter. They travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when they have succeeded, they make them twice as much a child of hell as they are.
They clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
They are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside they appear to people as righteous but on the inside they are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
