thess said "How I serve Christ is between myself and him and I don't feel the need to tell you for your approval. I could care less. Your broadbrush judgement of Catholics only reaks of prejudice. "
No sorry but you are wrong, we all accountable one to another not to Jesus alone but I to you and you to me and so on. If you think that you and Jesus are in a private club and you are not required to be accountable to other believers you are not speaking from the bible.
Now, it is clear you could care less you have made that very clear in your tireless efforts to deffend an institution. You do not even realize that you are fighting for a man made thing and not for the word of God.
You are not ever really willing to hear the word of God, if in fact it tells you that you are wrong.
The Catholic church is nothing more or less then a man made instution steeped heavy in paganism, and far removed from the bible. Popes are dopes and priest are the dopes puppets. Sad really that so many are trapped in that mess.
Oh I know you are going to tell me how I am being so judgmental and what ever, but you my friend have been nothing but judgmental, rude and insultive in almost every post I ever read by you.
The best thing you could do is get out of that mess and spend a year or two just reading the bible and NOT going to church at all. But I know they may send the deacon after you, but if you just pay your dues he will leave you alone.
