What you defend determines what the heart loves. Your Roman Catholic Church is what gets your attention....Jesus is just a name to rubber-stamp it.Jesus Christ! Yes and His holy church!
1 Corinthians 16:22
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema
Extends to the truth and the church
Cos Christ is the truth and His church teaches the truth without error! Jn 14:6 matt 28:19 matt 18:17 1 Tim 3:15 Jn 29:21-23 Jn 16:13
The rule of faith for Christians is Jesus Christ Jn 14:6 and His church! Matt 18:17 acts 2:42 1 Tim 3:15
Truth is revealed by God thru Christ to His church (the apostles) Jude 1:3 then proposed by the church! Matt 28:19 gal 3:23
Christ and His church are one!
Rejection of the one true church or its teaching is rejection of Christ and God!
Christ and His church are one! Acts 9:4 eph 5:32 Jn 8:12 & Matt 5:14
Dan 2:44 Isa 2:2 Micah 4:1 fulfilled in matt 5:14
matt 16:18-19 shall not prevail
Matt 18:17 hear the truth from the church
1 Tim 3:15 the church is the pillar and ground of truth.
Faith ascents & never protests or rebels!
Spiritual Pride protests & is always in rebellion
The nature of spiritual pride is rebellion!
Spiritual pride must protest, and must be right!
Christ and His one true church cannot be right or my self-righteous personal interpretation base on spiritual pride and private judgement must be wrong, and that is unacceptable!
Truth must be revealed by God, and taught by the church, proposed for our belief, we must be instructed!
Matt 28:19 Lk 1:4 Acts 8:31 Lk 10:16 Jn 21:17 Jn 16:13 acts 2:42
Nature of doctrine:
Truth or doctrine MUST be Revealed by God And Proposed by the church for belief, not spiritual pride and self-righteous private judgement!
Claim: “scripture alone”
It’s really just the ugly repugnant pride!
It’s no faith at all only spiritual pride and self-righteous private judgement!
They Hope in creatures not in God!
It is unlawful to refuse to accept a truth revealed by God!
Matt 28:19 eph 4:5 Jude 1:3
Truth matters! It is revealed by God and therefore CANNOT be changed!
The church likewise is founded by Christ and therefore CANNOT be reformed!
Faith hope and charity! 1 cor 13:13
Three are eternal, and the greatest is charity!
“Faith alone”? Never faith, hope, & charity are inseparable!
If salvation was by faith alone then the greatest would be faith, but as even “all faith“ without charity avails nothing! 1 cor 13:2
What you defend determines what the heart loves. Your Roman Catholic Church is what gets your attention....Jesus is just a name to rubber-stamp it.
His holy church? That is the people forming His Body and separated [holy] from the world and its ways.Jesus Christ! Yes and His holy church!
...
Christ and His church are one!
His holy church? That is the people forming His Body and separated [holy] from the world and its ways.
One? When every Body part is perfectly formed by the work of the Holy Ghost to provide a place for the Head to rest!
"For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body." Eph 5:23
"And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." Matt 8:20
But then when is the Body going to be ready so that Jesus has a place on which to lay His Head? Who is the Body of Christ but all of the parts, properly prepared without hands and fitted perfectly together?
It is no organization of men although many of its members/parts may within some of those organizations.
Would you believe, Zion?
All this jazz about RCC being "the one true church" could just as easily be said of the Greek Orthodox Church - which RCC BROKE AWAY FROM in the great schism - a delgate of the Pope slapped a bull on the altar at an Orthodox Church and said "Yall are ex-communicated!"
The world sees who are the schismatics.
Know it. Live it.
All others are sects teach false doctrine and error tradition of men
