That is all that so many of these RC apologists have to offer, since there is no Scripture they can utilize to confirm their proclamations. They offer only a rote response as taught in their catechismal upbringing, and have never sought anything but to cling to all that they perceive as reality.
But, thank God that the Holy Spirit knows no limitations and continues to beckon and call to ALL hearts open to Him.
This is our mission field and with that comes the certainty that the enemy will do anything to keep those deceived and indoctrinated by their cult. Satan is lurking and growing stronger as the time comes near for the return of Christ. For more than a thousand years, he has clothed himself in fine garments and resided in fancy temples, deceiving millions and billions.
Christians are found throughout the world and know the sound of that inner voice speaking from the Throne. There are many on these threads who are sincerely searching for truth. The Truth is found in Scripture, not in the traditions taught by a false priesthood clinging to political power to continue to spread their uncertainty and keep minds and hearts closed to eternity.
Mark 7: “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
“‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.’
8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”
1 Peter 5: 5 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
