Is spiritual enlightment a bad thing?

No

They believed that constituted salvation

That's the main reason why it's heretical

By itself it could stand as it's own religion, but it tries to hold a claim to the bible and such

They were the first Christians were they not?

No

That would be the Apostles

You know what I mean

I do

And its incorrect

They were an early heretical sect

What I'm saying is the Apostolic church was first, it's the church Christ founded and it carries infallible authority down the line of succession from the Apostles

What's your sect if you don't mind me asking?

he likes touching kids

so catholic

I figured as much

Eoppa do you acknowledge that the Church has been corrupted?

One could argue for sedevacantism

But the church itself no

But the orthobros can't argue against what I'm saying

This is when we were not in schism

I don't get why orthodox peeps are so obsessed with accusing me of sexual degeneracy

I follow the teachings of St John Chrisostym when it comes to sex

You guys love him, I know that

"For you will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God."
Isn't this how evil operates? Pretend as if its good? Isn't the most adequate way satan can get people away from god is to make them think they're not worshiping him, but god himself?

Sure? This doesn't apply though

it does

the catholic church is literally the anti christ

The pope is not God

Never claimed so

That's heresy

yes but they think that the pope and the church is the best representation of the whole religion

so practically its the same thing

Yes, but also not at all

?

The pope may hold authority, but there have been very few ex cathedra statements by a pope. That's even if he's a valid pope.

Eoppa

You aren't required to follow everything the pope says

That's just not Catholic doctrine at all

You do realize that majority of catholics aren't AS educated on theology as scolars and theologians are? Most people do think that majority of stastements and things put out by the catholic church is in correspondence with the bible and the whole religion
