I used to be catholic as well. They say things and people take them literally even when it directly contradicts the Bible. Going to church, getting baptized, paying tithes and offerings, etc. does not make one Christian, and Catholics are by no means Christians. The Bible is predominately literal. If I am taking things too far then why did Jesus choose to die for us. Jesus cannot exist apart from His Word. If Jesus said that fornicators will go to hell, He means it. He said that hypocrites, homosexuals, idolaters, liars, etc. will go to hell. These words describe lifestyles, not occasional mess-ups. Repentance means to change. The catholics still operate under the priesthood system; a system that Jesus abolished on the cross( The Book of Hebrews). Catholics call Mary a co-redeemer. The Bible says that Jesus alone is our Redeemer, Savior, Deliverer, King, and Master. When one does not know God's Word, they will not understand why GLO's are ungodly.
