I have yet to see any aspect of Roman Catholicism which displays the Truth of Jesus' Gospel.

1.) They require works and membership for supposed salvation.
2.) They call a man "father" in disobedience of Jesus' Command not to do so.
3.) The "pope" is a Freemason, aligned with other Freemasons, all displaying occult hand signs.
4.) The "pope" claims to be "the vicar of Christ," yet he personally demonstrates nothing of Jesus.
5.) The Jesuits are committed to geopolitical subversion in all of the World's recorded modern history.
6.) The "pope" endeavors to have approval and alliance with all of mankind, including pagan religions. Jesus was the opposite.
7.) The "pope" fails to identify paranormal UFO activity as being demonic, and states they are arriving from the far Cosmos as "visitors" and "brothers."

Hmmmm..... You must be kidding right? Anybody who is truly born again is a member in the Body of Christ.

We should not say to the arms and legs that we don't need them, because we do, we need every member of the body of Christ, especially in these end times.

Another baseless anti-Catholic rant.
No point in discussing this with you as people who post these kinds of supposed "errors" are not interested in the truth.

Looks like you cannot articulate truth. Pity, so negative.

Best wishes at the Great White Throne not in the Vatican.

Error is forever offended when inconvenient truth is pointed out.
Get rid of him was the cry, we want Barabbas

Barabbas was the logical choice. He most likely was the type of Zionist they wanted. Those Jews were task oriented, having come back from captive Babylon, carrying the promises of Isaiah for nationalism.

I'm curious.
Why would anyone, describing themselves as a "thinker" (quiet or otherwise), accept as truth a bunch of opinions backed up by no evidence whatsoever?

Millions of slaughtered people who did not agree with Catholicism.

Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus? Just answer.

Share your opinion about how Catholicism brings anyone to spiritual rebirth.

Jacob only listed 7 points. Only 7. Yet not one of them did you attempt to actually address. Are you also a Jesuit?

He was just trolling, and he provided not one bit of evidence to support his opinions.
Why should I bother?

You tell me?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but they are not entitled to their own facts.
Prejudice is a great timesaver. It enables you to form opinions without bothering to get facts.

It is Jesus Christ who gives us a new life when we accept Him into our lives.

Many Believers have found, believed and accepted Jesus in their lives at different stages and different places. There are planters and there are waterers, who are we to say that God must use a Pentecostal to tell another about Jesus, who are we to say that God must use a Baptist to lead another to Jesus?

God will use whatever vessel(s) He chooses, God will use the way He chooses to reach that person, and yes that may even be through a Nun or a Priest, and yes it could even also be directly from Jesus Himself in a dream or vision.

Would you not agree that no body of believers as a whole will be named as "The Body of Christ" [or even a part of the Body of Christ] correctly unless every member of that body is a member of the Body of Christ?

I know of no group in which every member is likely to qualify. Do you? On the other hand, I know some Catholics personally who as I see them are likely to be members of the Body of Christ. But then who am I to judge or who are you?

Should we condemn an entire group because we disagree with all, most or many of the policies, beliefs, dogmas, etc. the group as a whole embraces as the best way to go with God? Does every person in every group, be it Protestant or Catholic or Other, always agree with or follow absolutely everything set forth by his own group?

Item 1 is easily addressed. Since most of us need good works to for God to consider saving us. Without them we get cast into the lake of fire. And that's what the bible teaches.

Item 2 I agree with. It is not right for the Catholic church to call anyone Father.

The rest of the items appear me to be based on heresay and judging. So I would be careful not to judge others.

Peace and Love,

Devin

I agree, I was Mormon for 10 years and while I didn't fully accept their teachings there were teachings which were good. And Jesus taught me instead in the right way to honor him. I was filled with the Holy Spirit because of it. And that is a saving spirit.

Why is the spirit strong among the Mormon faith? That is because Jesus said he will be among the sinners, the ill. Those that are not ill need no doctor. The spirit was with me correcting the teachings that were presented so that I didn't fall ill.

Why dwell on the past? Aren't you meant to forgive and let go?
Indeed!
Those questions could be applied to a great many groups and people... in churches or not. Is it not fortunate for all who do sincerely love God, in spite of differences, that it is not any such men who will render final judgement for or against them instead of God and His Word?
