"But the end of the commandment love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. For some men, straying from these things (love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith), have turned aside unto vaim jangling; desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully; knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient...".
I used to be a protestant: against the unfair and corrupt laws in this world. But it has never been my r"religion".
My question: are you defending the catholics seeking God, or catholicism?
the 2nd verse is not as important ..
because the first verse applies to ALL things biblical ..
1Ti 1:5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
I am like Robin Hood .. I will defend ANY BRETHREN that another brethren "bullies" .. if you spoke in love .. I would say nothing ..
I already said I disagreed .. purgatory is denying God's forgiveness .. aka illogical theologically ..
but you are equally as illogical theologically ..
so to bring you out of a denomination is to bring you out of sin ???
sin is to purposely oppose what you know is the will of God ..
