Hello tradcat

In your view in which way was God word being criticised?

( Pity that you do not have time to hear truth.)

Christ established His Church, it had a hierarchy. Our Lord was the first Priest & victim and is sacrificed in an unbloody manner daily on our altars.

( At least you understand what mass is. Christ died once and there is no more sacrifice after that. Your mass is a demonic heresy.)

Christians, claim to believe in Christ but yet, refuse to accept the Church that He established.

( The church Christ established is called the body of Christ. It has nothing to do with your denomination. )

I'm saying this in a friendly manner ''You are in danger of losing your soul''.

( If I listened to you I would indeed be in peril.)

That is the honest truth.

All believers have the same authority to bind and loose. It is not unique to Peter and I`ll refrain from commenting on the pope.


18Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Matthew 18

The writer doesn`t criticize the scriptures. He is criticizing translators and translations. Don`t post comments about something you haven`t read.

There are many who do not follow Jesus as we ought to, including those of the reformed, free churchs. There is no perfect system. Many RCs are in these days are trying to follow The Lord. There are many teachings in the RC church that are, to me, wrong. Many interpretations of the word in the protestant case are, to me, wrong. And in both examples many that are true. Let us not revert to old battles and redraw old battle lines when we face such a great threat from islam and others determined to wipe us off the face of the earth. WE ought to proclaim the love of God to them, united not divided. Dave

For the record Dave I am not anti-catholic. I am anti-catholic doctrine. Should I make an alliance with a demon because the devil is after me?
When you cut to the case a believer cannot compromise the gospel and Apostate Christianity should be opposed.

Maybe, I've been a bit blunt in my comments.
You mentioned above that you are anti-Catholic doctrine.....how can one claim to follow Christ, when one refuses to accept the doctrine that Jesus taught? I simply do not understand.

I accept all the doctrines Christ taught so I haven`t a clue what you are talking about. Now the assumption I make is that you equate the doctrine of Christ with Catholic doctrine. Which is interesting since you can`t understand Catholic doctrine by reading what Christ said. The only way to understand Catholicism is read what the Catholic church says.

Rick, I accept that you are not anti- catholic and I agree we ought not to make a pact with demons because the devil is after us. I used to be very anti roman catholic, still believe that many of their teachings are wrong. Things have changed in the past 30 years or so. I have met a good number of RCs who do worship with protestants and in the UK there is a crossing of the great divide not only with RCs but many protestant groups, denominations, as well. Perhaps, and I say this with caution, The Lord of the harvest is bringing us closer together in view of the days ahead. Dave, with true Christian love.
