I do know this. 36 years of Catholicism has taught me well. I just can’t buy into any longer. I thank God for showing me the truth in His Word. I thank God that my trust is completely in Him and not in a religious institution laying claim to authority. I thank God that I know I can help save others by sharing the Gospel of truth to anyone who will listen. Anyone can be saved no matter where they are in the world. They don’t have to go to RCIA or CCD and do a bunch of religious stuff. They can be saved immediately by believing on Jesus and repenting. I thank God that I am part of His church through faith in Jesus Christ.
Then how do you explain the 33,000 Protestant denomination that claim to be the One True Church of Christ, but your own church may not agree with them.
There are some Protestant Churches that have infant baptism. Some believe in OSAS and others do not based on Sola Scriptura?
There are some Protestant Churches that support abortions, and some even bless gay ordination like the Episcopalian Church, and even go as far as bless gay marriages? or the inconsistency of allow contraception in their congregation. In the 1930s all Protestant denomination believe contraception is a serious sin.
Believing is not enough believers. You can believe but you have to believe in what Jesus taught. Not half truths. We know in salvation history that Jesus established a church upon Peter (Matthew 16:18) and promised that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The Reformers of the 1517 out of their own selfish ways break and form their own churches. I don’t know under what authority they have do to that because prior to the Reformations the only Christians in Western Europe were Catholics.
Protestantism prove itself to be completely inconsistent with the True Gospel message but coming up with alien doctrines like the Rapture, pre-trib, post, and whatever. That Rapture theory is an idea founded by Ex-Anglican name John Darby.
Protestantism also brought about people like David Koresh, and those Baptists who thank God for IEDs so soldiers in the US can be killed.
Not to mention the lies that your Protestant brother Jack Chick preached in his tracts. 36 yrs isn’t much compare to the Ancient Christian Church of Catholicism which is over 2,000 yrs old. She has more credit than you and have given us the Bible and defined God as the Trinity.
Protestantism itself does not promote unity because I heard stories from Ex-Protestant Ministers that they had experience a divorce from a Church because they did not agree with the Congregation so they end up splintering and form another Church. Sooner or later, the 33,000 Protestant denomination will be 55,000 denominations… Protestantism does not have centralized governing body and so it splinters.
Is Protestantism the true Church of God? No. It isn’t. It is a member of His Mystical Body but all it does is wounds Jesus Christ.
You can only find one unity and that in the Catholic Church. Some might go to the Orthodox Church but they don’t have united since their churches are govern strictly by local patriarchs. They do maintain Apostolic sucession and they earn my respect.
Protestantism system of breaking into other pieces is failed Christian movement. Why do I say fail? Because they just splinter. No unity.
I also like to add that when someone dies in the Protestant Church, you aren’t united with your love one. Since there is no Communion of Saints in the mainline evangelical faiths. I am grateful for the more tradition Protestants who still ask for the saints to pray for us.
