I do not see us united in any way shape or form. I denounce the Roman Catholic Church and all of her false teachings and doctrines. I denounce the pope and will never submit to him or his church or their traditions.Originally posted by trying2understand:
You, Lorelie, are a member of the Catholic Church whether you know it or not. This is so, because there is but one Church, and all Christians are in unity with it in one degree or another. Where you wish to place yourself is where you are in terms of unity, but it does not change the fact that you are part of it.
I can see you telling me that I am not going to heaven, for many of your popes have taught that if you are not a member of the church then you are not saved (which is heresy itself), but I have never heard of them making you a member whether you know it or not. Yeaahhh that sounds like the Church that Jesus told us about in the Bible! NOT!
Do you make this stuff up as you go (which would make sense for that is how your church got their doctrines and traditions) or is this a clear teaching of the church, you are a member even if you denounce us, whether you know it or not?
And this raises the question as to whether all those who were burned at the stake as heretics, were also members of the church, whether they knew it or not. If they were members, whether they knew it or not, did they go to heaven after their fleshed burned to a crisp, or are they in hell?
