Just goes to show, Rich, that even if the whole of Rome burned to the ground, the Church will go on.

God bless you


According to the scripture, in regard to what you most espouse,in the end of the matter  it means nothing, nada, zip. Christians walk by the exclusive faith of Christ that comes from hearing God (not men), as it is written and not by sight. 

2Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen "are" temporal; but the things which are not seen "are" eternal.


And the same can be said of Judaism.The unbelieving Jew (no faith) are still here worshiping at Jerusalem even though their temple, in which God did not live in, was destroyed according to the first century reformation. Christian don't walk by sight .

 

When the whole earth goes up in smoke the true church will be in their eternal home. In their eternal immoral bodies, that will be neither Jew or Gentile, male or female. But like the angels that did not leave thier first estate, therefore not having the authority to procreate. The tears will be dried and therefore the things of ths world will never be remembered, because they will never come to mind.


The question is when will the Catholic be allowed by the fathers to mix what they hear coming from God's word, with a exclusive faith that comes from hearing it God (not men) And stop thinking of men above that whch is written, rather than walking by sight we they must?

Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former "shall not" be remembered, "nor" come into mind.

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for "the former things are passed away".
