Listen the voice of an ex-Catholic: God's Plan does not require your contortions and complications. Read your Bibles instead of of your "Pontifical Councils."

Your voice, or God's voice? God spoke to the Apostles IN PERSON. He instructed them and their successors still instruct us BASED on the Bible. A Bible whose books were codified and selected by those self same apostolic successors. What direct revelation from God gives you the authority to speak for Him? Finally, if all that you claim is required is a Baptism and a personal relationship with God, how (in your mind) do the "contortions and complications" harm you or anyone else? Certainly every Catholic I know has been correctly baptized and has a personal relationship with God.

There's so much I could say, but let me ask you this: Are these the same people who say that one case of molesting a child is not enough of an offense to warrant removal from service?

Is that priest "blameless, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, not violent" as God prescribes in 1 Tim 3?

The fact is: your earthly instructors are inconsistent and only keeping you ignorant of God's Word. That is how Satan works.

"Correctly baptized" ?! I LOL! Show me ONE example from scripture of an infant baptism.

You didn't answer my first question and you can't give an adequate response to these.

"Direct revelation" ?? I am citing chapter and verse. I am not pretending to speak from my own wisdom! (I Cor 2)

PLEASE - Don't make a knee-jerk response. Seek Him in prayer.
