You only need to read through the entire Bible, and especially the New Testament, to know that the Catholic church is based on distortion of scripture, and more significantly, the desire of men to be in positions of power. God is the power, Jesus is the way. No works, rituals, etc., will result in your salvation; only faith in Christ.
That’s crazy to me because many times when people read the entire Bible they realize the Catholic Church is the one true faith and many conversions occur.
And you’re wrong, you are not saved on faith alone. You must never sin. Catholics who study their faith know this and work tirelessly to overcome vice to receive graces that make overcoming sin so much easier. The church was founded by Jesus and his apostles were the first priests. If you consider yourself Christian your ancestors were practicing Catholics. If you have a sin you can’t shake, go to confession and soon you’ll get sick of confessing it all the time and you quit it. I don’t understand the beef with confession either. People don’t sit there and examine their consciousness and make themselves confront their sins. They say they do but the don’t.
I fell away for a decade or more years. The Great Awakening brought me back to God and I started investigating spiritual warfare since this fight is spiritual in nature. If you have a demonic presence in your home, you call a priest. Your Protestant pastor can’t do shit, in fact lay people can make the problem worse. Exorcist priests are well versed on how to eradicate evil afflictions. Exorcism is real and Christ himself cast out many demons. Priests cast out demons in his name and only Christ can cast them out through them. The priests aren’t doing it, Christ is, the priest is his tool. Deliverance only occurs through ordained priest, it’s a fact, if you deny this you’re ill informed.
Plus logically who do the Satanists attack the most? Catholics. They mirror the Catholic mass with their black masses. They have satanic high priests. Tabernacles have locks because Satanists steal the consecrated hosts for evil purposes. You only need to know who the enemy hates the most to see who you should align yourself with.
I could list Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions as proof. Look into a well documented miracle at Fatima. Do it.
It’s crazy people will believe in supernatural evil events but that God doesn’t perform miracles anymore. They happen you just won’t hear of them for a reason.
Where did you get the idea that "you must never sin"? I have never heard that, and certainly I haven't read that in the Bible. Perhaps you are conflating writings of Popes with the Bible. That's like conflating writings of Confucious with the Bible.
And concerning people reading the Bible and "realizing the Catholic Church is the one true faith". You kind of highlighted the problem right there in calling the Catholic Church a faith. And I think the number of Protestants who convert to being a Catholic is on par with the number of Republicans who convert to Democrats; a rare happening.
John 8
[10] When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
[11] She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Perhaps the stats do show people leaving Catholicism. But isn’t it a greater leap to convert to Catholicism? The ones who do, questioned Catholicism and once they explore it to try and refute it they realize its true nature and that it has the best tools to get to Heaven.
There you go "best tools to get to Heaven". That pretty much says it all! There are no "tools" to get to Heaven! Wake up! Read your Bible! Jesus is the only way to Heaven! Wow! I had no idea how lost many Catholics are until reading your post!
