From scripture, the Holy Spirit, and believing God, which exposes the lies, errors, idolatry, Mary worship, and following a man called pope and not following God that the RCC does.
your interpretation?
From Jesus;
John 14:6 New King James Version (NKJV)
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 8:32 New King James Version (NKJV)
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Do you actually believe God will call YOU or call your priest to account for YOUR relationship or lack thereof with Jesus ?
Wake up from your slumber and dependence on others for what God requires of YOU !
Through the mystical union between the Lord Jesus Christ and the Church, what He said here should be interpreted and understood in the same sense in which He told Saul, after Saul threatened violence "against the disciples of the Lord" (Ac9:1): "Why persecutest thou me? . . . I am Jesus whom thou persecutest...." Acts 9:4-5
John 14:6 means that you're not coming to the Father except as a member of the Lord's Church.

YOU do NOT get to change God's word ! That is not even close to what Jesus said.
John 14:6 Jesus said ," I am the way the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but by me".

What you believe is derived from your preferred recently-invented, man-made non-Catholic sect---including your personal interpretations of Scripture.

Since you seem to be unable to read scriptures for yourself and have to be told what to believe and how to worship I truly pity you.
Folks have learned to see the RCC for what it is , which is deceived lost men following other deceived lost men...NO thanks.
the church is a place to gather in His name
-today is sunday

And listen to a non-bishoptized ordianed pastor
Chrysostom is a ordianed.
So am I but from a Chinese monk who lived in the emei mountains.

You seem blissfully unaware that, with respect to what you believe and do as a Christian, you also "have been told what to believe and how to worship." Thus, your accusation applies equally to yourself, and to every single other member of TOL.

It isn't. The myriad non-Catholic denominations and sects that have sprung up over the past five centuries, however, are---every one of them---invented by some mere man or men, including yours.

Jesus' true church, which has nothing to do with the RCC or any of its off-shoots.

I guess you haven't seen the scriptural evidence that has been presented showing that Jesus was not referring to Peter when he said, "Upon this rock I will build my church."
But anyway....Jesus said that we could tell a wolf in sheep's clothing by what they DO. We have discussed many evil things the RCC has done, yet you turn a blind eye to them. (The RCC is anything but "holy"!)
"Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them." (Matt.7:15,16, New American Bible)
you shall not prevail
