hmm

2021-01-21 19:49:49 UTC  

Honestly

2021-01-21 19:50:12 UTC  

To strengthen my faith and connection a lot more

2021-01-21 19:50:17 UTC  

not that it isn't strong

2021-01-21 19:50:25 UTC  

and not that any other denomination doesn't make it stronger

2021-01-21 19:50:29 UTC  

I never really liked Catholicism as an institution. It is clearly a corrupted institution today and throughout history. It made up lies (such as Purgatory) to take people's money and build the Pope a castle. Not to mention their primary motive was power for many centuries. Today, you have the face of Catholicism: Pope Francis himself who is one of the most despicable things to ever happen to Christian faith.

2021-01-21 19:50:37 UTC  

but it's a denomination I've been looking at

2021-01-21 19:50:41 UTC  

Indeed.

2021-01-21 19:50:42 UTC  

well, the teachings of rome are extremely troublesome.

2021-01-21 19:50:46 UTC  

nooooo

2021-01-21 19:50:52 UTC  

ya for real

2021-01-21 19:51:14 UTC  

Theres nothing wrong with centering all of your faith on the Bible and engaging in an intimate, personal frienship with God yourself. No need for the middle man

2021-01-21 19:51:22 UTC  

catholic, is different from Catholic.

2021-01-21 19:51:23 UTC  

hmmm

2021-01-21 19:51:33 UTC  

That's why non denom is great

2021-01-21 19:51:38 UTC  

One

2021-01-21 19:51:39 UTC

2021-01-21 19:51:41 UTC  

belief

2021-01-21 19:52:01 UTC  

Catholicism = Works gets you to heaven

2021-01-21 19:52:06 UTC  

pope francis said something like, if the priest isnt available, u can always go to God instead lol

2021-01-21 19:52:06 UTC  

Indeed.

2021-01-21 19:52:26 UTC  

Not just by faith alone, but by good works and deeds

2021-01-21 19:52:37 UTC  

No

2021-01-21 19:52:39 UTC  

Not to mention Catholics tend to vote Democrat 🤮

2021-01-21 19:53:22 UTC  

“Catholics”

2021-01-21 19:53:28 UTC  

Justification is by faith alone, works cannot justify us before God, nor does he need them, but the world needs to know why we work. and we say, cos of Christ

2021-01-21 19:53:30 UTC  

In Christ alone
My hope is found
He is my strength, the
Love of God

2021-01-21 19:53:45 UTC  

Yep

2021-01-21 19:54:07 UTC  

Where even does the bible say other than accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and savior (which is the one and only unforgivable sin) is required to not be thrown into Hell for eternity?

2021-01-21 19:54:28 UTC  

thats why paul said of abraham  For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God

The Holy Bible: English Standard Version. (2016). (Ro 4:2). Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles.

2021-01-21 19:54:40 UTC  

The entire Bible is God's word, and He says to believe in Him

2021-01-21 19:54:47 UTC  

The entire message of the Bible

2021-01-21 19:55:18 UTC  

To believe in God, Christ, and the gospel (good news) he has sent us.

2021-01-21 19:55:40 UTC  

the thing is, and were all indanger of doing it (proof texting) but if the assumption that the word of God is without error and contradiciton, then where we see 2 apparent verses against eachother, its us who are wrong.

2021-01-21 19:55:52 UTC  

And through the Bible, God is with us (also everywhere)

2021-01-21 19:56:23 UTC  

It is in our Human nature to not understand all of the things of God

2021-01-21 19:56:27 UTC  

By his spirit is more accurate, but i get ur point. he speaks to us thru his word.

2021-01-21 19:56:47 UTC
