FOF, the New Testament shows us that the church of Jesus Christ ..the one He founded and of which He the head had no pope no priests, no mass, no 7 sacraments, no "holy water', etc..
The church Christ founded was founded on Him ..He is the cornerstone ...
Men were already teaching false doctrine as Paul wrote that letter.. If you are interested in reading about it you can read Galatians ...where men that believed in Christ, believed He died and was raised from the dead.. were spreading false doctrines..negating the gospel Paul preached of salvation in and through Christ ALONE.. There were preaching a Christ PLUS gospel ..follow the laws..
That is a letter that could be written to Catholics today ... If it is Christ + anything it is a FALSE gospel
It is almost humorous to have a catholic that believes the pope is infallible..that kneel before him and kiss his ring to accuse protestants of following a man... think about it..Are you infallible ??
Where is that in Scripture?
what happened to "the word of mouth" mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:15 ?
So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
The letters became Scripture. What about the word of mouth? You just ignore them?????
Have you heard the song, “Jesus is the Cornertone”. It is a wonderful song.
Amen.
Amen.
So what about the Holy Spirit? Who will guide us to all truth?
What about the Church, which is the pillar and foundation of Truth?
