Remember; it wasn't Protestants that made a lot of this stuff up!

If the Romanists didn't have all of these myths and legends, they would have to rely on Scripture for guidance and revelation! But, it seems it is easier for them to follow after some visions, myths, and fables. rather than the Spirit! But, thank God for His Holy Spirit.

John 14: 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever- 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you. 1

One thing I have personally observed is that if a faith placed directly in Jesus Christ for salvation is actually there (and it takes only a moment to enter into it... it does not need men’s doctrines to keep it cemented), it will endure any amount of other sins, because those have now been rendered passing. Indeed, if we look at the more devout Catholics, we will see a concentration towards such direct faith taking place. Hardly anyone of any denomination disputes the Christianity of someone like Mother Teresa, it becoming very obvious at that level.

I have learned to be very respectful towards what Jesus Christ keeps together in spite of its errors and sins, because I might be looking at my own church congregation through those eyes some day.
