rejecting Catholicism is rejecting the church that Christ founded and thus rejecting Christ....not rejecting a denominationn
Even IF it were so, and it's not, just where in Scripture does Jesus sanction the church killing people who reject Him?
Could you show the passage from scripture that teaches that?
The Eastern Orthodox reject Catholicism. Are they guilty of rejecting Christ? Perhaps you don't understand this but "the church" is made up of ALL the redeemed followers of Christ, those who have received the gift of God which is eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. If someone rejects Catholicism, they aren't rejecting "the church", just a particular church which asserts IT is the church that Christ founded.
Now, I don't deny that there ARE real Christians that are Catholic, just that the Roman Catholic church is NOT the church spoken of in Scripture. There are many tenets of the Christian faith that Catholicism still holds to, of course, and there are many godly, genuine and sincere Christians that worship in that manner. But, genuine, godly, faithful Christians also exist outside of the Roman Catholic church which demonstrates that there ARE Christians who are not Roman Catholic and they also are part of THE church Jesus established, just as there were in the early centuries of Christianity. Once this important distinction is realized, pride, animosity and hatred can be alleviated.
And yet there is no official Catholic teaching that specifically states this.
In fact; in this thread...
So are you SSPX or SSPV seeing as you reject V2 teaching on properly baptized Prots?
