I believe the big turn happened under Constantine where the State invited the Church under it's wings of protection. Something Jesus never intended, saying "My Kingdom is not of this world..." John 18:36 KJV [36] Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world...

First you said you have been consulting God's Word for years, then you turn around and say "Catholics don't see the Bible as their only authority". God gave us His written word for a reason and it must take precedence. When you stand before God on Judgment Day, you won't be able to say "but...

I gave him my 2 cents (post #17) but it seems like you decided to take my 2 cents and run it to the ground. Pot/kettle. I could have said, "No, don't go, it's not ok", and have given 20 reasons but decided to treat it graciously. So please don't push my buttons in your effort to defend your...

Right, He gave us His Holy Spirit so that we will never be alone. ...for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Personally, I go by Scripture... For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; (1Ti 2:5) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse...
