I am glad I belong to the only true church, because no one can be saved unless they belong to the only true church, which is the previously mentioned church. 😄😃😀😱😎 I am comfortable with my choice. If others are not? Oh well. 😀😃😮😱🙉🙈🙊

Actually, when you were in the Catholic church, you had all the answers....but like too many others, you didn't listen.

I condemn no ones choice to follow a what's happening now denomination, but to put your immortal soul in the hands of a bunch of nice guys called navigators, and deny the true church of Jesus, which He, Himself founded....sounds a little dangerous to me. I think I'll stay with His word and His Eucharist and His sacraments and just see what happens.

I would wager a lot of money that I and Catholicism are right and you and all Protestantism are wrong....a lot!!!

LOL, I disagree. The priest could not answer my questions, so I went my own way. Thank God for that. YOPIOS is a beautiful thing. Don't knock it till you've tried it. 😱😅😎👍

Not to worry. I am now a member of the only true church, the one started by Jesus Christ, millions of years ago. His church has been around longer, so I trust Him more. 😄😀😃 People can believe whatever floats their boat, whether there is any truth to it or not. When Gabriel blows his horn, then we will all know where the truth lies. Just remember, by then, it is chiseled in stone. People will be irrevocably committed forever, to follow the course they have chosen, right or wrong. Have a nice eternity, but if you reach the pearly gates ahead of me, pray a nice prayer to St Peter, that if my good works outweigh my bad works, that he might be so kind as to let me in. 😄😀😃🙊🙈🙉

Catholics can just never seem to wrap their minds around not trusting man or some human organization, can they? They claim to not do that and yet constantly accuse us of that revealing that they think that way. They presume everyone does like they do.

We DON'T.

Born again believers have reiterated time and again that they are trusting Christ for their salvation. Not a priest, or a committee, or their works, baptism, sacraments, communion, Mary, whatever or whoever, essentially, anyone or anything BUT Christ.

I think I'll stay with His word and His Eucharist and His sacraments and just see what happens.

Quite a chance you're taking just to " see what happens".

God in Scripture tells us we can know for sure.

Instead; it's better to follow the example of the leaders of the Catholic Church.



Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]

Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.

Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy

Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy

Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.[2]

Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.[3]

Pope Leo X (1513–1521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony[4]

Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.

Speaking of this; how is your current pope meeting with your approval?
