Scripture.
You are claiming that it's the Catholic church that Jesus meant.
If you are making a claim that something is a fact,then it's YOUR responsibility to prove it's true by providing the evidence, not for the other person to prove that your say so is not true.
Your opinion on its own, doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Verification is needs for it to have any credibility.
How can that claim be valid when we've been told that the Holy Spirit does not guide the college of cardinals in the selection of the pope?
And He's protecting it just how?
The priesthood is infiltrated with homosexuals, the current pope is a flaming liberal and who knows if he ever believes in God, Catholics seminaries are pumping out liberal homosexual priests, Catholic laity is by and large liberal and pro-abortion and pro-homosexual marriage, and the list goes on.
Are those supposed to be examples of Jesus protecting His church? What exactly is He protecting it from?

Oh?
Did someone claim it wasn't?
Mom, the 'church' is made up of individuals.
How much yeast does it take?
Was this before or after raising kids??

Cain would find it biased.

Now the hackers know EXACTLY where to focus their attacks!!
FR is now more secure than ever!
Perhaps; but it is STILL slow to refresh!
Nope...
Every other church traces its lineage back to a BRAVE human person who had the courage to stand up to the All Powerful Roman church and point out it's error!
Since Rome would NOT self-correct; the ONLY other thing to do was Scriptural:
COME YE OUT OF HER AND SHARE NOT...
Keep trying.
Perhaps you'll be able to get a reponse about as authentic as a lot of the stuff Rome puts out.
1 Corinthians 3:4-9 (NASB)
For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not mere men?
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.
I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.
So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.
Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Mark 9:38-41 (NASB)
John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.”
But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.
For he who is not against us is for us.
For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.”
Just as Jesus had free will yet was humble and obedient to the Father.
I believe that those that gain salvation with God will keep their free will and be humble, prayerful and obedient to God.
As God loves us, He wants those that truly love Him to be with Him in Heaven.
Is that a yes or no?
It’s my privilege. I tend to get longwinded, so it is good to know when someone actually reads such longs posts.
:-)
That is not what Jesus would do!
