Aagain its funny how you all believe people who disagree with what the catholic church teaches and have seen truth of its deception are in need of being enlightened. MEMEW Your lack of understanding is evident in every post you have made. You do not understand that the Bible is doctrine and Paul himself said “above all guard your doctrine closely”. I have studied every doctrine in scripture over years of study in systematic theology and have no questions or unresolved issue with regards to the catholic church. I DO have issues with how all of you challenge everyone who does nto agree with you. We give you biblical justification but you do not hear it. You have no biblical truth to stanbd on so you have to go to other writings.
Christ did have to be born of a woman to be fully man in His assertion. It was the Father’s plan. To assert that Christ therefore chose Mary to be assisting in salvation is insane. YET you propagate this stuff and those who are seeking on this site may buy into the lies as you do. You believe my experience growing up catholic was somehow unatural or uncommitted but I spent time contemplating the seminary. Even spent time there. I loved serving as a child as an alter boy and did so for a long time. I spent hours a day with Priests. My cousins and aunts are Priests and nuns and I praise God every day that He showed me the truth of this church. There are so many Priests today that have left the catholic church because they began to study scripture and the love of their life. The cath church did not line up with their study of scripture. This was new because in the entire seminary experience, although they waited and waited they never recieved any teaching in Bibliology or systematic theology. They recieved most of their training in rituals, traditions, and the writings of the catholic church. Writings of historical nature as well and discovered how the cath. church rewrote history. These priests leave the cath church and find themselves in so much emotional pain form the discovery of this lie. some get born again. FOR THE FIRST TIME! and saddly otherss kill themselves. Why? Because the church they thought they loved, they thought they would devote their lives to, they thouyght was the THE church of God, Christs church was not. It was the enemy’s.
I do not need your enlightenment. I have no questions or misunderstandings and God as my witness whom I love, I have mentioned no lies. I have simply hope for sinners as I am one that they find salvation as I did. Salvation, I do not believe can be gained in the catholic church. I, to be honest do not care if I offend others in doing this. The enemy is offensive to me. I care only that one perhaps might think and reason with scriptures to see the lostness of the church. I do not mean to anger others however or to end up being a bad example as a believer or to in the end in hy humaness let my pride get in the way as it so often does. So with that I will just sign off from this thread. If there is anyone who may wish to carry on for some healthy reason, for life, please feel free to email me as a brother I hope in Christ.
