Pilgrim Sounds like some unsound doctrine to me. (being a little more forward, sounds like a pack of lies from the pit of hell) That is why I am thankful for the many denominations that comprise the Church, (I'm at odds with RCC in this) :argue: I often hear it said that denominations aren't necessary, that we're all brothers and sisters in Christ, but I offer this defense: Denominations are formed because a consortium of believers formed a consensus on correct doctrine and had it officialized by a confession, or a statement of faith. The board can then insist that all pastors and teachers falling under their authority teach only the agreed upon confession and nothing to the contrary. This is an effective tool used to keep the Church safe from cults and heresies such as the one you mentioned that was taught to Catholic, I hope only briefly. No one can control what everyone believes, but we have an element of control over what is taught. You are no doubt aware that we don't see ourselves as a denomination, I use the term just to humor you :hugs: but, by golly, we're all on the same page, (or try to be, lol) Perhaps some of these examples of "pop theology" are Satan's more subtle attempts to lead us astray, having failed at more overt strategies. Just means that we must remain vigilant. catholicsoldier
