The RCC is not perfect nor are most other Churches, They are run and administrated by Men, all men are flawed some are better then others. But we are not the judge.
In KJV. rev. 2 :1 Jesus found 1 out of 7 Churches that HE found no fault with. Lets let Jesus judge the Churches of today.
Can those the do not follow the teachings of Jesus... such as the catholics... be considered to be Christians?
If so, then are budists Christians too? What about all the other religions that have some morally good things to say but don't follow the teachings of Jesus, are they Christians too? Is it "Christian" just because they say they are with Jesus and it matters not if they are following the teachings of Jesus?
When one looks at some of the practices of the catholics and notice those practices are not from the Word of God, that is the deciding factor that they should not be considered to be Christian
This begs the question... is it OK to not follow Jesus' teachings or the teachings He gave us thru the writings the Lord gave us thru His Apostles in the Bible and we can still call ourselves Christians?
It seems like "Christianity" is very watered down and has non-biblical teachings added to it and everyone is all good with calling it Christianity
We know things went very bad for ancient Israel when they quit following the Lord's teachings of that time so this is why we see so many bad things happening to so many that say they are Christians but don't follow the teachings of Jesus which includes reform theology which is not biblical either.
