Yes, friends follow Christian relativism.
Christ says he founded a Church with authority and it is the pillar and truth, and that church is all of us even when denominations have completely different beliefs.

The basics for all is to follow Jesus, who cares about the Apostles and the Early Christians defending the truth.

It won't hurt us having more than 12 thousand different groups.

I kind of get your point... but Acts 11:26 and Scripture should be the Apostolic Authority.

Even what is called the Mother church wasn't founded until 380 AD... Soooooo.... Maybe we should trust Scripture? IDK

Of course.

The question for you is ... is the Holy Spirit working through the Catholic Church?

Through certain members of it...no doubt. As a whole, as far as the institution...I don't know.

The Holy Spirit works through Genuine Believers that are "within" the Catholic Church. The same goes for all humanity. IMO

Yes, fellow Christians! The Bible came out of Heaven like the Quran, and Constantine was the first Pope. Let's all listen to the prophet Jack Chick.

Do you believe 2 Timothy 3:16 to be true in refrence to the 66 and 73?

I started to put funny, but Chick Tracts have brought many to Christ. Do you disagree?

The catholic church didnt write the scriptures, doesnt always interpret them correctly, and was not the first church.

Since Moses wasn't Roman Catholic, I'm forced to agree with you.

No, they're not. You're forcing a distinctively Protestant idea into a Catholic framework where it quite simply does not fit.
If I didn't understand the way of salvation preached in the Roman Catholic church I might agree with you.

But I do and I don't.

So long as Rome teaches that understanding and participating in those higher truths is necessary for salvation - you are completely wrong.

And it's a good thing... It sure did benefit them. Just look at how awesomely their extra scriptural writings guided them...

Are you criticizing how God structured ancient Judaism? Because He is the one who organized it as a non-"sola scriptura" religion, you know. The prophets didn't appoint themselves, after all.
