Papal doctrine, in case you didn't know, is like Islam in so far as it does nothing to rid us of the cause of living by lies and delusion and much to encourage it.
Just to give you some idea of the history of the Roman Catholic Church if you don't know already...
That's great old man, despite what millions of catholics would say to that, I agree with you, BUT where do you think your protestant religion sprang from and when?
As I explained in my introduction, my own personal beliefs came into being after I became obsessed to know just what the truth was and what or who I and my dear loved ones should prepare to face in the end.
Quote:Where do you think your bible came from and how?
The various books of the Bible were written by men as and when they were so inspired to do so by God over a period of 1500 years or so.
Quote:If one says that mormons are a deceived, demon infected, untrue religion, then by necessity, you should claim that all the splinter religions that sprang from Joseph Smiths lies are also bunk. Therefor if the catholic church's fruit is rotten, then also are the fruits from it's splinter churches, as they are direct descendants.
Only when the members of such churches are prepared to listen to preachers who ignore or reject essential biblical teaching, such as the way of salvation and the essence and character of the Spirit of truth.
