As would it with you. I am advised in scripture however to avoid those who practice paganism. I can only continue to point out the errors of Catholicism.

This is the advice if we want to inherit Messiah's kingdom, which one will not do by hating His Catholic brethren, or his nonCatholic brethren ? Profession of faith in Christ is not sufficient. Do you concur ? Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.


When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Profession of faith in Christ is not sufficient. Do you concur?

No. Not if the profession of faith is a truthful one.

But if you mean just mouthing the words and phrases to get past a difficult time in life and then forget the committment to God the Father through abiding faith in God's GIFT of salvation, given to all who truly believe in Jesus Christ as personal Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King -- God Incarnate in human flesh and Lord of Heaven and Earth -- then that kind of profession is something God will have to judge.

I appreciate and believe the quotes you gave from the New Testament. I have no idea what your point was.

A carnal faith is certainly not sufficient. A spiritual faith with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit will produce fruit of the Spirit. A true profession of faith precludes the acceptance or inclusion of the paganism inherent in Catholicism. The corrupt tree of Catholicism brings forth the whoredom of paganism.
