Yup, one of us is right and I'll take my chances with the church that Christ founded rather than the navigators that some man came up with in the 1930's or thereabouts....somehow 2,000 years of following Christ with 1.4 BILLION members impresses me a little.
“1.4 BILLION members”
Count up all the non Jesus believing Jews for the last 2000 years and they will beat that membership hands down, but unless they believe in Jesus Christ IAW with Holy Scriptures and not some man made doctrine they will go to Hell. Sorry, but numbers don’t equal salvation.
Matthew 7:21-23New International Version (NIV)
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
LOL, whatever you say dude. The only thing I agree with you on, is that one of us is right. I am supremely confident, that I would rather take my chances with Jesus. You take your chances on "religion" if you like. That's on you. Remember, eternity will last much longer than anyone can EVER imagine, so you don't want to mess it up. Remember also, Jesus said unless one is born anew from above, he will NOT see Heaven. (John 3:3) I believe that means the vast majority of people will end up in a far warmer place than they wanted to. Such is life, as they say.
BTW, my catholic friends just left. They are definitely wiser now. 😀😃😆 I would say they are like the Bereans.

If that is your standard of truth, perhaps you should switch to Hinduism. It been around almost 5,000 years. Just think how impressed you’d be as a Hindu!!!
Don't let it impress you too much. Wide is the road and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many are there who find it.
Numbers never impressed God much, and they don't impress me, except when you realize just how many people can be wrong about something.
