Example: The Catholic Church. Is it Christian?

From 1Thessalonians 2: 19. For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? There is no 'Real Presence' in the bread and wine of the Eucharist (table of Communion). Christians wait for His real presence: the...

Habakkuk 2:2-4 2 Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It...

1Peter 2:24 and Isaiah 53:5 proclaim this truth. None of the surrounding verses even hint that this healing is physical, mental or emotional healing. Wouldn't this healing be spiritual? Reconciliation with God? Peace with God? So, why do the faith healers use these verses to "prove" they have...
