When you reject the teachings of the Catholic Church, you reject Jesus. Look it up, it is in the Bible.
Care to share where this is found in the New Testament?
I should really make you look it up. It has been previously posted to metmom.
There are so many closed minds here that they either do not understand the words of Jesus or does not fit their self analysis intrepetation. There is so much venom posted here about the Catholic Church that it appears to be really self-hatred.
• Man’s ingenuity cannot account for this. The Church has remained one, holy, catholic, and apostolic—not through man’s effort, but because God preserves the Church he established (Matt. 16:18, 28:20).

• Jesus assured the apostles and their successors, the popes and the bishops, “He who listens to you listens to me, and he who rejects you rejects me” (Luke 10:16). Jesus promised to guide his Church into all truth (John 16:12–13). We can have confidence that his Church teaches only the truth
Luke 10;
16Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”
Memom doesn’t believe in the Eucharist or Baptism or other teachings of the church, she doesn’t believe in the words of Jesus.
There are previous postings 55,56,43,38,33 that provide information, but it is ignored.
I really hope that all can find the salvation with the Lord that they seek, but I am not sure that they will find it if they ignore the words and intentions of Jesus.
Projection is really an interesting phenomena.
It reveals what's going on in the mind of the person doing the projection.
Since it's all that they know, they presume everyone else is just like them.....
Hmmmmm......
Nowhere did Jesus say that rejecting the apostles and their successors is rejecting Jesus. He wasn't talking to just the disciples but to all believers.
Nor are we rejecting the writings of the apostles, aka Scripture.
What we do reject is the false claims of authority that the RCC is claiming for itself. We reject unbiblical and unscriptural teachings.
We are to fix our eyes on JESUS, the Author and Perfector of our faith.
Jesus called men to follow HIM, not other men.
We can have no confidence in any organization that calls itself a church is teaching the truth unless it lines up with Scripture.
The seven churches in Revelation 2&3 put that myth to rest.
Well now! There we proof from scripture that Catholic Church has rejected Christ. They have clearly rejected what the apostles taught. Here's on: Acts 15:29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, and from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
And he posts another verse to prove that Catholic Church has rejected what the apostles taught.
Matthew 28:20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Paul said anyone teaching something they didn't teach was to be considered accursed. Not on Catholic can show that the apostles taught the assumption of Mary yet the Catholic Church teaches that.

There are no popes in the bible...You automatically disqualified yourself from any further discussion on the scriptures...
“He who listens to you listens to me, and he who rejects you rejects me” (Luke 10:16). Jesus promised to guide his Church into all truth (John 16:12–13). We can have confidence that his Church teaches only the truth
The bible does speak of your Church but that is not it...
Mat_23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
That's your church in the scriptures...Every one of your male clergy is a 'Father'...And the unbiblical, unGodly pope you have you call 'Holy Father'...
Your Catholic Church is the anti-church...
1Ti_4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
There's your Roman Catholic Church again in the scriptures...Again, yours is the anti-bible, anti-church...
Luk_20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
The Catholic Church is well known in the scriptures...Here it is again describing your priests, bishops, cardinals and popes...
Who are these religious Catholic people posing as Christians??? They are people God warns us about in the scriptures...They aren't Pharisees...You have to be of the twelve tribes of Israel to be a Pharisee...
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
