And the protestant churches that support abortion and gay marriage are not?
People who go to Catholic Churches are not all evil. My family and me. Priests like the Pope are evil evil, but I have experienced the Holy Spirit in the Catholic Churches specially for Holy Week. I love Jesus and his father.
Well said. Catholic here and I agree with you Godisglory1.
God bless and thank u
The holy spirit told me at mass in my Catholic church that my wife and I would have a child after our first son died. Later in the week, my wife was going to have a drink and I told her not to as she was pregnant. A couple of days later same thing. A couple of weeks later, she tells me she is pregnant. We have have a child and name him Matthew. I find out later means "a gift from God." You cannot tell me the Catholic church is evil though some of its leaders are, I believe.
Exactly. Leaders like the “pope” and his people in the Vatican.
Why was your immediate reaction to attack? Do you think the Church whatever variety is immune to subversion?
Not attacking but questioning why all hatred is usually directed to the Catholic church and very seldom toward the Protestant faiths.
Well i don't think the historic child abuse and the cover-up helped but you are right they have become an easy target
I didn’t say they weren’t. Any organization that promotes any doctrine contrary to the Word is undeserving of the title “church”.
I believe the church is really all of us believers and not some institutions that make up rules as they go. Most all churches behave as government's do, they do their own thing regardless if that is in agreement with the word of God.
There is indeed a universal church, which is the collection of all believers alive on earth at any given time.
However, local churches are equally (if not more) important. In the NT you see local churches popping up almost instantly, with the apostles going to great lengths to support them, correct them, and help them grow. Hebrews 10:25 exhorts Christian’s to not forsake these local assemblies.
You are right that many denominations invent their own rules, abandon God’s rules, or just in general slide into corruption and decay. My advice would be to check out as many local churches in your area as you can, and compare their doctrine and practices to the Bible. Find one that boldly preaches the Word on every issue, especially when it takes a stand against evolution, LGBT, and other controversial issues. There aren’t many left, but there are still some.
You seem knowledgable.
I've heard Calvary is solid as they actually teach the scripture. Not sure if you have any opinions on a Church, but I've been looking for a solid church for a while.
IMHO, all churches that are registered as 501c3 non-profit corporations are an apostasy. How does one serve the Master Jesus when government is the absolute authority Ex incipiente finis over a corporations' charter?
I totally agree and there is no need for them to register as a non-profit.
