You're avoiding the obvious. Catholics don't read their bibles. This is anecdotal on my part - every single person I met that is a "former" christian, has been a catholic.
I also find catholics to support things such as abortion. (according to AI, 44% of catholics vote democrat).
@CatholicHawk My guy, I don't even think chuck norris could carry the amount of spiritual luggage you tried checking in there.
What saves people that brings them into the body of Christ?
Also if you may, what is Paul telling us in 12 as a whole?
@88mph121 Christian walk isn't easy.
Furthermore, salvation wasn't easy, it took the death of Jesus to save us. You make a mockery of it thinking you can add anything to that.
Assumptions in here that just aren't true.
@HoldenCCole Baptist is just a term to describe a set of theological beliefs that has existed since the creation of the world so your argument makes very little sense here.
Catholicism also didn't invent the hospital system. lol.
@e_lawns_husk@riecker I mean, this is exactly what he's doing. Reading into it. Nothing he proclaims here is found in Scripture.
You even debunk it yourself without knowing it. "Christianity has to match their preconceived, ignorant notions." <-- Exactly what he's doing lol
@TaylorRMarshall@keilbeaver Recommend listening to the book of Romans as an audiobook.
Chapters can skew our idea of points he's making as it spans multiple chapters, just like you're doing here. Missing the context and point he's making.
