Those are just your personal opinions. It should be obvious by now that I have zero respect for them. Your believe Catholic teachings and I don't. I believe God's word. Your denomination has added so much to the written truth that it is tragic. You believe whatever your clergy has made up. I believe God!
There are many Christian denominations, all with differing opinions and "truths". They can't all be right! Why, because they are based on the teachings of men. I believe solely on the teachings of God as expressed in the Bible.
I have attended may different denominational services, including Catholic services, and everyone has different rituals and opinions. Jesus clearly stated, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 NET That is all I need to know.
