We all need to repent, which means we should turn away from sin and turn toward the author of our eternal salvation: Jesus. I am not Catholic, which is a man-made denomination, as are all the other sects and religious institutions who claim to have the only saving truth. The true church founded by the Lord Jesus Christ is spiritual and not made by the hands of men. To be part of his true church, you must publicly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Lord, which is rarely done by the Catholic church.

If you are told you must go to a specific building in order to be right with God, do not believe them.

In the Catholic church, at every mass, they proclaim the nicene creed. That is public proclamation. Also, the Catholic church DOES have missionaries. Finally, Jesus said to eat him. The Catholic church actually claims to serve his body, every other church serves only a symbol.

The church is spiritual and IS made by the hands of man. It is made by the hands of Jesus, who was man and God. He declared Peter to be his vicar, and he said you have the power to bind and loose.

Peter ordained others, now we have a church.

The Catholic church claims to have the only saving truth: the truth that they, the Catholic church, compiled into a document known as the bible.

I don't know what that is, but people reciting words with their lips means nothing if the heart toward God is not right.

The Catholic church claims to have the only saving truth

Then don't believe them. Don't follow them, don't go into their buildings.... If you want to be saved, change your heart so that you hate evil and love what is good.... turn away from sin and turn toward Jesus Christ. Don't believe any religious group created by men if they tell you they have the only saving truth. The truth is not a denomination. The truth is Jesus Christ and he is available to anyone at any place if they sincerely desire to know him.

Peter ordained others, now we have a church.

God himself chooses his servants and gives them authority. When men take authority for themselves without being called by God, they shall be exposed as frauds.

You don't even know what the nicene creed is? Dude you are so woefully ignorant that you shouldn't be hating the Catholic Church. You don't even know what the Catholic church IS.

This is what it is.

How does a man receive salvation?

Believe, get baptised, and don't do mortal sin.

Believe what?

Jesus is God, God is father son and holy spirit, you should worship only him, and also he instituted the Catholic church as the authority to guide you to enlightenmenf.

Basically, believe what it says in the nicene creed. The Catholic church compiled the Bible (from many written traditions and manuscripts) and they wrote the Nicene creed at the same time.

Do you ever see the pope recite the Nicene creed?

Jesus is God, God is father son and holy spirit, you should worship only him

True.... Leave it at that. There is nothing else required for man to worship. It is a lie from the enemy to tell us there are additional organizations we should worship or revere above him.

The Bible begins with the books of Moses and he was not a Catholic.

The disciples of Jesus Christ recorded the New Testament books in Greek and they were called Christians, and never called themselves "Catholics". The King James Bible is called the "Authorized Version" and is not a work of the Catholic church. The Catholic church used a different source (Latin Vulgate) while the King James Bible is translated from the Textus Receptus.

Even though you correctly stated Jesus is God and God is one: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.... You still did not state was is required to believe in order for a man to be saved. The devils also believe what you said, and they tremble. I will ask you another way: How does a man receive forgiveness for his past rebellion against God? All men have sinned and need forgiveness. How do we receive forgiveness?
