Protestantism provides some light.  Protestantism validates believers and their beliefs.  “I like myself just the way I am!  I am a good person.  I believe in God, Jesus, and The Bible.  I am going to Heaven!”

Protestantism provides some light by justifying whatever a person believes.   “We are in our church because Jesus wants us here!  We are good people!  We are going to Heaven!”

Automatic approval is addictive and deceptive.  “I am in a denomination that lets me believe as I want!  I like that!  It proves that Jesus loves me!”

Many avoid believing that Jesus was serious when He Decreed The Only Church He Founded Into Being when He said one time to one man:

“. . I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”

“Jesus would not only found One Church!  Jesus didn’t found our church, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong!  Besides, I don’t want to be one of those Catholics!  They take things too seriously!”

Protestantism avoids Judgmental Jesus.  He Who will judge our souls told us who could get into Heaven:  “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”

Jesus was clearly teaching:  Only the obedient may be saved!   Catholics are blessed with enough respect for Jesus to obey His Church-Founding Decree .  We obey His Decree and are in The Only Church Jesus Founded.

Protestantism provides some light.  But, not one of the 45,000 denominations of Protestantism was given “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” by Jesus!

“We have the ‘keys’, too!  We doWe can get into Heaven without having to obey all those Catholic rules and regulations!  Surely, we don’t have to take Jesus seriously enough to be in The Only Church HE Founded?”

Each of us is bright enough choose whether or not to be among His obedient sheep.
