Yep! Soooooo much better. Not bound by manmade cultic religion, but instead freed from the bondage of sin, and filled with the Holy Spirit. That's what the Roman Catholic cultists need!

Salvation isn't found in membership sitting in a pew eating crackers. It is a free gift of God to anyone willing to trust in Him!

2000 years of lies does not bring anyone closer to the Truth!. It only makes those feel good about their membership, or too scared to trust in God's simple plan of salvation.

Romans 8: 18 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

TC, this is a historic moment. You finally said something I agree with. This might never happen again in all eternity. Thank you for finally admitting I am so much better off now. We haven't reached all 2 billion yet, but we are trying. Once again, you will have to excuse me. I have Berean type people coming over. 😱 They want to know the truth, We are more than happy to show them the way. 😂😇

Ain't life grand? 😆😄

Wow!

Seven churches (Catholic all) in Asia that John was told to write to before he died.

They were JUDGED and found wanting.

Way to teach and practice the TRUTH; Rome!

Catholic ability to immerse their minds in magic thinking (very pagan in origins) is astonishing, if not amusing: " a 2,000 year old religion founded by Christ."

Jesus did not found the religion of catholiciism. He founded a spiritual church, a spiritual ekklesia. He did not violate God's law (see Leviticus, the for all time and all their generations forbidding of consuming the blood) by having His disciples and Himself drink His blood or eat His Flesh in the Upper Room the night before His sacrificing Himself for you and me.

Jesus did establish a remembrance of His coming sacrifice by using metaphor (if you read the Bible, you will see that He did this on special occasions) sharing the broken unleavened bread (much like a cracker, easily broken) for them to eat and drinking from the cup of wine with them IN REMEMBRANCE of His work for us.

But the religion of catholiciism asserts emphatically just the opposite, and teaches its adherents to believe they eat the body, blood, Soul and DIVINITY of Jesus Christ at every catholic mass. The ability of catholics to believe this blasphemy and claim it as their means to salvation is horrific in its consequences. ... That's you cue to repeat your mindless mantra of 1600 years of believers in this false Christianity as proof of efficacy. Sad, that.
