you are so much better off that those 2 billion or so misguided souls that you just haven't reached yet.....

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.

VERY TRUE and that's just what protestants do...eat crackers....Catholics, on the other hand, eat the Eucharist that Christ instituted...."THIS IS MY BODY" remember now??? and Catholics are certainly willing to trust in Him by continuing to practice the religion that He founded and promised that He would protect until the end of time.....good enough for me!!!!
