Your comment: “The New Covenant is being born again and God having a direct relationship with us, not thru the church. The visible church has a role but without God’s Sprit within us we are deaf and blind.”

Yes, when we are Baptized and accept God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit and reject Satan, then we begin the process of our salvation. Jesus gave us the Catholic Church, the Mass and the Sacraments to help us find the narrow gate in our process of becoming holy so that we can have eternal life with God.

Jesus established a visible church - the Catholic Church and he told us He would be with us until the end of time. Jesus wants us to pray together as a community as the Body of Christ(Catholic Church) through the Holy Spirit as part of our sacrifice to God the Father in the Mass.

You must have missed the words of Jesus:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing then in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, too the close of the age.” Mt 28:19-20

Read it slowly and let your lips move. The church Jesus established is those that are born again. Those who He has a relationship with.

God did not establish an institution, He tore it down. Because the institution was getting in the way, man perverted it. Though God may still use it.

Get your Bible out and ask God for answers, it is the only way. Eyes to see and ears to hear are a gift from God.

Jer 31:33 “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day,” says the LORD. “I will put My instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people.
Jer 31:34 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives,.........”

There is much to think about in the above. Read it in context, meaning the whole Bible.

Mat 28:18 Jesus came and told His disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
Mat 28:19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Mat 28:20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

.......

Heb 8:10 But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people.
Heb 8:11 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives,


Wow, we seem to have a contradiction here. Is God a liar, two faced?

No, we have one of those wonderful mysteries where God’s Spirit leads us to a deeper truth by reading His word..
