Jesus didn't belong to a denomination - and the Catholic Church isn't one, either.
Rome corrupted the original katholikos ekklesia and it's been a money hungry, power hungry, corrupt organization ever since.
Next thing we'll see out of the Holy See is the pope praying in a Muslim mosque alongside an imam who rejects Jesus Christ and Christians. Oh, wait...
That's about the caliber of response I expected from someone of your limited ability.
There is absolute evidence from the Books of Daniel and Revelation that the Papal system is the Beast and the AntiChrist. A time will come when all churches and political systems will come under the RCC and everyone whose names are not written in the Book of Life will worship the Beast and the AntiChrist pope. This is the son of perdition that will be revealed once the true bride of Christ is taken up in the Rapture, and it will signal the imminent return of Christ to the world. He will come and totally destroy the Beast and the AntiChrist and set up His everlasting kingdom where every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of all.
How much is the Roman catholic church worth: $30 billion, 40, 50, 100 billion dollars? They're pretty tight lipped about their net worth, but some would say that all the artwork alone makes it a priceless entity.
Oh, so you do remember Frank doing that with the mufti. Praying alongside an infidel like the pope probably stirred that mufti up like none before. Wonder what he did when he got home to the Mrs and the kids.
No, it's John you do not believe. You say John is wrong and that we need a hierarchy of Catholic priests to tell us what is right and what is false. John says the believer himself has the Spirit to tell them what they hear is right or if it is false.
No, I believe that there are false teachers who don't have the Spirit among us that divide the visible church up into factions, because that's who the Bible says does that (Jude 1:19). But, ultimately, they can not divide up the true body of Christ because a true believer equipped with the Spirit of discernment will see their falseness for what it is (see above). A blind guide can't lead a person who sees. Only a blind person who can't see falls into the pit with a blind guide (Matthew 15:14).
"Thy Word is truth" (John 17.17).
The Catholic Church is the LARGEST charitable organization in the WORLD.
Because John is NOT negating the necessity of Teachers OR a hierarchy.
That's absolute nonsense.
Another LONG and psychotic rant - and yet you never addressed the challenge.
The SDA cult does the same thing, and the Mormons' cult, too. In fact, the La Cosa Nostra is famous for all of its good deeds done in the neighborhoods and communities in which they are revered, hells angels motorcycle groups do likewise, all to show the world they aren't the bad guys that their painted as; they're really good people and all those critics are just bloviating for political purposes.
Nice try, sparky - but NOBODY even comes close to the money spent on charitable works than the Catholic Church - who is doing Christ's work on earth. More than most countries, in fact.
