"I was born from above by Baptism some 65 years ago."

So you believe that the act of a Catholic priest sprinkling your baby head with water and saying a prescription of words birth you from above? ... Yet another example of why the religion of catholiciism is not Christianity.

One of the greatest lies from satan is that everyone baptized by a Catholic priest is saved right then, albeit they can lose it then regain it ... IF the institutional hierarchy grants it.

You seem to look at Catholicism through a lens that systematically distorts every single thing. I am not blaming you: I do not at all think you do this consciously.

My friend, I am busy in the kitchen and haven't the time to address your notions in depth. Please accept my wishes for you to have a wonderful Thanksgiving --- yes, there is so much to be thankful for.

.
To be accurate, “Christianity” was invented by Constantine and Eusebius in the mis 4th century.

But what we call Christianity is not the faith of the apostles. It departs from the core of the renewed covenant with its machinations and humanism.

The renewed covenant of Jeremiah 31 is exactly the old covenant, perfected in the sinless blood of Yeshua, with the law of righteousness written on the hearts of the assembly as prophesied by Jeremiah and many other prophets.

Without the lessons of Torah, how would we ever find our way? We are inherently sinful, and would at every juncture turn away from the narrow path to the interstate highway of sin.

By embracing and studying we become changed; conformed to his way.

I used to believe that, but I don't anymore.
