OH i have no doubt that JESUS is the true sabbath rest of man .
COME YE UNTO ME all you who do labor and are weary and ye shall find rest for your SOULS .
let us labor therefore to enter into THAT REST . BELEIVE YE IN THE GLORIOUS LORD .
and paul and even the apostels made it clear about meats drinks and days and to let no man judge
concerning that . So be encouraged my friend .

How many former Catholics are here?​

Do we count, babylonians, hindu's, buddhists, animists, protestants, gay's, disabled, mentally challenged, millionaires, fashion dolls, greedy, trans.....

Is it necessary to label our selves or others?
What do we think labelling achieves?

Catholics and others have labeled themselves = no help needed or being added by us.

By labeling themselves, they identify doctrinal basis of said label.

In the Body of CHRIST, there should be no labels and no divisions.

Satan created a spiritual virus that spread thru all of the world and 'christiandom' = respect of persons

How others label themselves is not my business; how I label myself or others is.
How is it supposed heaven looking down at humanity, labels us?

God looks down from Heaven and SEES the people who wrapped themselves in labels.

Adam and Eve were the first to put on a label.

There is a good reason why I made this topic. One of our members who was formerly Muslim just started to think about Jesus Christ recently. But he has been attending the Catholic Church so has some unScriptural beliefs and some questions. Maybe some former Catholics can help him?

His most recent topic. See later posts as we get into penance and purgatory which he thinks is needed.

Can you please give your testimony of being born again and leaving the Catholic Church? Thanks.
If one left the Catholic Church one would not be a Christian in fact !
As all Christians are Catholic in fact !

You mean one who has left the Roman Catholic Church !

I was baptised as a Church of England and my mum a Lutheran and my Dad a Roman Catholic.

I had the day off and I was reading my Bible as I would do every day just about and I got up and walked into my bed room dumdy dumby dumby dumm, and Bingo out of the blue !
I was Born again !
I knew and loved Jesus very much for many years so and of total strongly conviction ! but I did have some doubts in some regards to be totaly true.
I was roundabouts 30yo when It happend ! Jesus came to me ? and I then knew who he was 100% ! Bingo The Lights went on ! and from that point on I was Saved ! "No more doubt !" It was some what like Saul when God came to him.
It was no walk in the Park, it was a huge deal ! something you will never forget !

I have no rergard the Churchs of this world anymore ! I am the body of Christ Jesus and he is the Head. Period !

Man created Church does not cut it in fact ! it's a creep show ! and has only got worse that I have seen from the 60's on to about say the year 2000 that it could be declaired dead ! nothing inspired by Christ at all in fact ! only a Mans works disgrace ! who has Sold out all real values in Christ Jesus in fact !

verily verily i say unto thee
this judge not correct not , name not has got to go and fast .
When is christendom gonna realize
it has literally left the churches in shambles as only more leaven and wolves continue to just pump the houses full
of deceptoin . ITS CORRECTION TIME .
Time to expose all that is contrary to THE HOLY GOD and HIS DOCTRINE .

My father/mother conceived me as deeply seated Roman Catholics.
As such i was baptized a RCC from infant.
Attended RCC schooling to 8th grade.
Attended church regularly.
Prayed the rosary beads, lighted candles, was confirmed for Communion and Confessional attendance/participation in faith.

i want to point out that i BELIEVED, in faith, in all that i was taught and participated in.


Since RCC can never do for the spirit of man what they claim = i naturally embraced sin in the world = Ephesians 2:1-3

At the age of 23 i met a former RCC family who invited me to their home to read the bible and pray.


Exactly as JESUS said = the Word is a Seed of LIFE that was planted in me from the Scriptures spoken thru Holy Spirit indwelt Vessels

The SEED of TRUTH was watered and it Sprung UP into LIFE as i was Born-Again/Anew = from ABOVE

Within a year i was water baptized and the BEST was when i was Baptized in the HOLY SPIRIT.

TODAY - i continually seek Truth as the Holy Spirit guides me into all Truth in the WORD.

Therefore i pray with understanding and also in the SPIRIT = HalleluYAH

As @Nancy said = "i delved very deep into scripture and couldn't get enough"

HalleluYAH
I can not believe that you were not Baptised, if your dad was a RC. You would of been ?

They have fallen for the bait my friend .
The bait of judge not correct not name not .= expose not my sin and i expose not yours lets just get along .
They have no idea what has been done to much of christendom .
Hear ye the parbable of the wayward child and the mother at her wits end .
The child left to its own and not corrected but always hugged and made to feel accepted .
This generation of christedom is as that mother and her children as that child .
The child gets into trouble and the mother says nothing , does nothing
but hugs the child and says God is love all is fine .
And as the child grew he became only more rebellious
and the worried mom knew not what to do . Some came along and said
Ye must correct the child . But she said alas i shall not judge , i shall not correct
I will flood the child with how much God loves it and i love it .
And on and on this went . The child grew only worse and the worried mom
was like what can i do .
Another comes along and says Ye must correct the child , expose his error .
NO said the woman , i am not his judge , YE are not his judge
I SHALL DOUBLE DOWN on telling him about my love and the LOVE of GOD .
And in the end was naught but a rebellious man that literally drove himself to his own demise .
And the mother wailed and wailed
And she said I told him he was loved , i always made him feel loved ,
but perhaps i did not say it enough . I will do better with his sister . And so the little sister
gets into trouble and the worried mom said , GOD IS LOVE , YOU ARE LOVED . I say GOD is love you are love .
But mama dont realize , NOR DOES this church age , THAT LOVE CORRECTS and allows not sin upon the child .
This church age only doubles down now with this love love love , and the more it do
the more it produces two fold the children of hell . THEY getting ready to LOVE THE DEVIL to heaven .

working to repent is BS !
It's Christ Jesus in you that is Grace ! you abide in Christ Jesus, that is the Gift ! the Gift of Grace ! makes you one in Christ Jesus !
For you have changed and became a New !
One does not go back to what was your vomit.
The Jews who did not come to Christ Jesus were Vomited out of the Land, because they were not worthy of God Israel in fact !
They were Lost ! and being led astray by the very same in the Vinyard story, who killed all of Gods Prophets.

Second sentence down on my post which you responded to = "i was baptized a RCC from infant"
I bet you THANK GOD a lot for pulling you out of the darkness . Me too my friend . i once too was lost
yet could still lip the name of JESUS and yet walked in darkness , contrary to him .
MUCH LIKE THIS CHURCH AGE NOW DOES .
You ever get the feeling we are in an upmost of the fallin away .
And that what many think is light , see as light , be but darkness .
Were we not warned in the scriptures what would come upon this people , specially nigh the end of the age .

"Come out from Her = MY people"

Without a d oubt in my mind that her is THE HARLOT and all who do her bidding .
Many are already infected with her mystery of inquity , THOUGH they see and beleive it to be the mystery of GOD
BUT ITS NOT OF GOD and that is a fact my friend .
When the peoples of GOD grew rebellious unto him and the leaders of such people led them only into
greater darkness and rebellion against GOD
WHAT DID GOD call such a people . A HARLOT . He called JERUSALEM a HARLOT .
even said YE are as sodom unto me .
Now why did i bring this up
because if we just took notice we would see that much of christendom now
has become JUST as jERSUALEM did back then . A HARLOT RIDES HIGH OVER THEM ALL
and she uses the NAME OF GOD and she claims to serve GOD , BUT SHE DOES NOT .
What was our number one warning FROM JESUS .
WHO were we to BEWARE .
WOLVES IN ..........................................WOOL .
This people has no idea what is going and has went on my friend .
For many run to a HARLOTS LOVE
and beleive it to be THE LOVE OF GOD . I am in total f ear for this rebellious people .
For on the path they are on , THEY have no idea of the amount of wrath they are
heaping and steeping up UNTO THEMSELVES on THE GREAT AND MIGHTY DAY OF THE LORD .
COME YE OUT of her , FOR STRONG IS THE LORD GOD ALL MIGHTY WHO SHALL JUDGE HER .
COME OUT and partake not of her ecumenical cup of whoredomes , THAT YE RECIEVE NOT of her plagues .

look real closely at this reminder .
And then know and understand this is NOT WHAT the great ecumenical WHORE of interfaith teaches .
IN fact she contradicts it as she hollers to all false religions and christedom , WE ALL serve the same GOD .
ALL is well my children come to the light . AND yet That light , that lie , IS TOTAL DARKNESS OF SATAN .
THEY HAVE DENIED the fact ONE MUST BELIEVE ON JESUS to be saved . AND YET THAT IS EXACTLY
HOW GOD chose to save the world , BY THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST that all who do
BELEIVE in HIM shall be saved . SHE IS A WHORE david . A HARLOT of all harlots . And i must warn
and must i warn against her ecumenical cup of death and fornication .

As noah and his family entered into the ark to be kept safe FROM THE ALL MIGHTY and RIGHTEOUS WRATH OF GOD
sent unto a rebellious world
WE NOW HAVE A FAR GREATER ARK .
And yet many come not into this ark BY THE DOOR .
They mock such an ark as they build an inclusive ecumenical one they beleive
Will keep them safe and bring them peace n safety .
BUT mark my words well one and all .
WHEN THE MASTER of the HOUSE of the ARK which is HIS BODY
rises up and closes THE DOOR . THE DOOR WHICH HE IS
ALL OUTSIDE will wail and and be destroyed by the all mighty wrath OF G OD and of the LAMB .
Ecumeincal intefaith and its leaders can spout all the junk and false love they want too .
And sell this people an anti christ lie .
And though many hands will join with many hands in its unity , I TELL US ALL the wicked rebellious
children WILL NOT HAVE PEACE . IT WILL BE SUDDEN destuction that shall be the only peace
they know ON THAT DAY . and that is NOT any peace any wants to be under ON THAT DAY .
