I have a friend who was also raised in the Roman Catholic Church, and he once told me that the impact it had on his thinking is something he doesn't believe can be fully undone this side of the Kingdom age. He's constantly having to re-evaluate how he sees things, which can be quite frustrating for him at times. I feel for those who have come through that system. God is good for opening your heart and mind...many won't allow Him.
Yes GOD is so full of mercy and compassion desiring not the death of any but rather their repentance .
But as you wrote , MANY wont allow HIM .
even as their conscious is pricked , they continually fight against it
and seek answers from men who will preach their own hearts desires to them .
This is honestly how i beleive any beleiver
should have loved GOD . Anything and everything contrary to Him
should not have been allowed to be taught , praticed , overlooked .
WE OWE HIM everything and anything that contradicts HIM does DISHONOR HIM
Any doctrine , any pratice , any word , anything
that brings any dishonor unto GOD , Should not be allowed within the churches .
Rather it should have been corrected .
Because anything that dishonors GOD , also works naught but destruction on the one
who pratices such behavoir . SO it wont be saving or helping
anyone in the body if we allow sin upon them . In fact that is actually hate .
What we need is an increase of godly men
who will stand and arise and contend for the true faith
to teach and to instruct , to correct and to feed this sheep .
May we pray the LORD send them into the harvest and do all to contend for the true faith
While there is still time to do so .

Correct

God has already judged the evil workings of the RCC/Vatican and HE calls us to "Come out of her My people"
That verse in Revelation is not a reference to Catholics in the Catholic church.

Again,you think to condemn in your opinion what is God's perview.

It absolutely is in reference to the Vatican as well as all false religions who she is in bed with and those outside of her who hold not to the TRUTH of HIS Word.

i was raised RCC, so three things:
a.) i know about the evils of the Vatican
b.) i love my fellow catholics who NEED the Way the Truth and the Life
c.) God is saving people in all denominations where the Gospel is preached = HE does the Choosing

AGREE with you = we do not judge the person = God's Business not ours'

Thanks for that.

After awhile I know it does no good to try to lead human egos error into self reflection and repentance when the intention is to divide God's church.

I see that too as God's job.Not mine. Only God changes that what needs to be changed.

Thanks again.
