My Weird Relationship with Catholicism

[A new day]

and His Church.... reread Mt 16 for a start

There is nothing in Matthew 16 about following "a" church. Scripture is about God and his work of redemption as revealed in the person of Jesus Christ. NOT in any institution. Carm posting rc's are fully aware that the teachings of the rcc are wrong, but are very determined to save face without having to admit they were deceived by the very institution they trusted in.

Christ's Church - Mt 16

You keep pointing to your institution. There is nothing in Scripture which tells us that salvation comes from an institution. Rc's literally put lock, stock, and barrel into everything but Christ for salvation.

not mine, Christ's -- I will build my church...

LoL. That is your own personal, fallible interpretation of Scripture.

 

[Arch Stanton]

LoL.

You agree it's funny that you did the exact same thing you accuse non members of the rc denomination of? Thanks for admitting that it is your own personal, fallible interpretation of Scripture that led you to believe the rc denomination is what it claims.

He began to concentrate more on Catholicism and less on Christianity.



We should all just discard labels and follow Jesus Christ.

Labels identify some pretty important things though, don't you think? For instance when a person tells me they are Catholic, I then know that they don't consider Jesus' death on the cross to be payment in full for their sins.

As for Chesterton. Did you like what he wrote or how he wrote it?
