Jesus came to set us free, not to put us into bondage. oh for Heavens sake....He didn't set us free to ignore the church that He founded and everyone do it their own way and since the 1600's, that's the way a lot of people see it. See what happens when you don't follow h His established rules????

See what happens when you don't follow h His established rules???? God didn't put a denomination in charge over His people to put them into bondage again.
Abraham believed God and his faith was credited to him as righteousness.
That was before the Law and before the church.
If Catholics ever came to realize that man are made right with God by faith, they'd come to realize the bondage that the works based religion of Catholicism puts men in with absolutely NO guarantee of heaven at the end of it all.
What a pathetic, pointless existence, all that striving and working for what? No hope of anything.

The Jews had PLENTY of rules.
How many of those did Jesus follow?
25%?
67%?
100%?
Shouldn't your church follow THOSE 'established' rules??

Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
John 6:28-29
Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?
Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
1 John 3:21-23
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.
And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

God did not spare Sodom. Why do you imagine he’ll spare Rome?
