He personally established the Catholic church to guide us on our journey and He personally instituted the seven Sacraments to be our source of grace.

Absolute nonsense...Jesus condemns your religion all thru-out the bible...We have posted some of those condemnations many times...

You have to go thru a Catholic priest to get to Jesus in your Eucharist...You have to go thru a Catholic priest to confess to Jesus and get forgiven...So you can be assigned penance...

Mar 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

Right there is where all priesthoods vanished...They were put out of a job...

You can't just say "Jesus I accept you and now I'm saved" and then proceed to live whatever lifestyle that you prefer.....it can't possibly work that way....

You don't have a clue what you are talking about...

It happened to me and millions of others...

The day I got saved I went to the bar and ultimately got drunked up (which was not uncommon)...I continued to frequent the bars since that was where I was comfortable and my friends were there...Soon, things began to look differently to me...

I lost the desire for alcohol so I started drinking coco-cola...Staying sober...Wasn't long, I'd be sitting at the bar next to someone drinking and the conversation would turn to Jesus...Every time...God was working on me...

I ultimately quit going to bars and started studying the scriptures...And they finally started to make sense to me...

There's a whole world of difference between faith in a religion and a personal relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ...
