yes
Catholicism is most obviously the most extensive of apostasy, yet the protestants, never completely cleared away the leavening of the Catholic Church.
Until a person is willing to let go of all the apostate teachings and traditions of the church, they will never be saved.

If you are a follower of Christ...friendly admonition: wise not to ask questions that will encourage dissension. In plain language: don't offer an invitation for people to tear at each other!
Indeed, those who are spiritually gifted and exhibit great kindness often are accompanied by the mysterious aroma of sanctity -- an odor that is like a combination of lilies and roses which sweetens spiritually.
We have witnessed this phenomenon a number of times, especially around the famous Catholic stigmatic named Maria Esperanza-- whose very family was an emblem of patience, kindness, and love. To be in their presence was to feel inexplicable joy for hours after.
Joy comes from kindness and is the emotion of the miraculous.
How do we know that? Well, look at what a miracle does; first and foremost, it brings joy. It lifts our spirits. It?s a taste of Heaven.
Kindness opens a portal into the hereafter and through that portal come wonders. God loves to surprise those who are kind, and often He does this through angels.
Nope I LOVE being catholic it is the only religion that believes in God that makes sense. If you don't believe Mme then email me or contact me and I will prove it(how do you explain stigmata). Peace botches.
I have never tried any Catholicism or protestantism. I do not practice any ism with exception of perhaps Theism. What are they like. Perhaps if you try eating them a different way.....
perfect example.
wake up people organized religion separates and alienates!!!! god is for everyone to accept or not. it is personal and if you believe you have the only answer to who/what god is then be secure in your knowledge and accept the possibility that maybe you could be wrong.
Nicholas,
John Fox had another name for it, he called it the Reformed.
Do you understand the necessity for the Reformed, or Protestant movement? There were many of them persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church. Thousands died for their faith. They were even persecuted for having a Bible. So there is much that went into that name.
But I am not saved because I am a Protestant. I am saved because I trust God for His promises through Jesus Christ.
The devil is the spirit of Division.
One can send a thousand away, TWO can send 10 Thousand.
The Power goes up by 10 every time you add a Believer in the Prayer.
Thats why the Devil Separates us Believers with Religion.
All Religions are False.
Religion cannot Recreate your Spirit (Save you).
Jesus can Recreate you (a Spirit) which Saves you.
Jesus is Reality. Not Religion.
When you say 'tired of Catholicism and Protestantism?' do you mean when people emphasize 'Catholicism and/or Protestantism,' rather than Christianity as a whole?
If the answer is 'yes,' then I say yes to the question.
Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love the Catholic faith(I identify myself as Catholic or Christian, interchangeably), but, the thing is, all the religions in the world are divided into smaller groups, & yet, it is the divisions only within Christianity that so often get emphasized.
Quit talking about Christianity and show me what it is. get off your computer and go visit the inner city. find Jesus in one of them, and feed him and show him how much you love him.
A Unique Man once said:
They will know you are my disciples by the love you have for one another. I go to the father, and my love I leave with you, my spirit. I leave my self with you, because you are my friends, and you are my Friends because you have and are doing what I told you. and this is what I told you, love one another with the love I have for you. No greater love has a man than this; that he lay down his life for his friends. whatever you do to the least of these my friends, my brothers, you've done the same unto me.
There is some truth in all christian faiths, even those who go directly against Christ's teachings to condemn other sects of Christian faith. Christ Himself said; " if they are not against us, then they are with us". We have also been told to seek truth and right where ever it can be found. Which is to say, the bible is not the only place where truth and right can be found. If it is positive and uplifting it is of God. What is negative and beguiling is of Satan. We believe in worshiping almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allowing all men the same privilege. let them worship how, when and what they may.
The Catholic Church is apostate. Yes, it denounced the original Christian Church. Oh wait! The Catholic Church IS the original Christian Church. OK the Catholic Church denounced itself ... no wait, that doesn't make any sense. OK the Catholic Church is apostate because ................... let me think on this ............ there must be SOME way it is apostate, because Pastor Bill said so.
Any Christian here who is tired of Catholicism and Protestantism?
