Ok, here is my problem. So many protestants out there claim they are the ones who follow the Bible. This simply cannot be. The Bible call the Church a light on the hill a VISIBLE organization of people. The Bible says the Church is the bride of Christ. Christ can have but one bride. The Bible says that we must hold fast to tradition, yet many protestants reject Tradition. In 101AD St. Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple of Polycarp, who was a Disciple of John The Evangelist said that we are all called to follow the "One,Catholic Church." This man actually edited the Gospel of John and if you try to discount his Catholic comment, you discount the Bible.

They never call me. They say the will but they never do.

Wait, are you talking about the Catholic Bible, or the Word of God (Holy Bible)???
How can you claim that protestant churches are not "a light on a hill"? Did you ever read the Bible? There is more than one church.
Please quote where the Bible says we need to hold fast to tradition...
Also, I dont follow the words of a Disciple of John, I follow the words of God Himself. The Lord of Lords.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after the Messiah. (613 Laws of Yahweh)
Prov 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light.
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the prophecy: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
1 TIMOTHY 3:15
But if I am delayed, I write so that you may know the right and proper way to conduct yourself in THE HOUSE OF YAHWEH, who are the called out ones of the living Father, the pillar and ground of the truth.
What other religion keeps the Laws of Yahweh strictly? The House of Yahweh.
Name one prophet who taught againts the Law. None, but all of the churches do and teach traditions such as Sunday worship, easter, halloween, christmas, and none of these are found in the scriptures. Ask yourself why?
Revelation 12:9—
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world. She was cast out into the earth, and her angels were cast out with her.

In the bible it states very clearly we are not to add or take anything away from the bible. Check the catholic bible, now check the bible that all other Christians follow, all Methodists, Protestants, Pentecostal, etc. You will find some huge differences between Catholic and the rest. God bless

Getting truth from a bible is like trying to squeeze custard out of a weasel's butt.

there is alot of catholic tradition that isn't anywhere in the bible.
mark 16:17. 'these signs shall follow those who believe in me; in my name they shal cast out demons, they shall speak in new tongues.......'
catholic tradition abhors these things yet Jesus himself said they are signs for his followers. so where do you lie friend?
