Read the Holy Bible. I believe, that's where the saying comes from.<br /><br />So here's were the Lord has taken me with this belief and how man will pervert what the bible actually meant and how men over time, since Christs time here.<br /><br />Some religions/or a man will even say the King James version has been changed, well yeah, but has the context been taken away. We have to be able to comprehend what the good Lord is saying don't we?<br /><br />So I'll start with the Catholics belief's and then some, no Harm intended to my followers of Christ Jesus, or I should I say my Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ. I'm just compiling links of people that realized something has gone wrong with the word of God.... The bible does say and give warnings to those who pervert the truth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Gospel spoken in the Holy bible. Now why should I say anything to my people that I love, Just like Christ tells me too<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#3366ff;"><span style="font-size:130%;">If there be any offence taken, for none is intended to our Christian brothers and sisters in any Christian Communion.</span><br /></span></strong><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">The point here should be taken as, The word of God has been perverted by Men.<br />Just as through out the biblical times the bible shows each and everyone of us has read.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#3366ff;">THATS IT NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><br /></div></span><div align="center">First book I would like to steer you to is this one. No it's not the bible, but is is written by a Rev back in 1588, He mentions Diotrephes (mentioned in III John) and Demetrius (in Acts), </div><div align="center">and Paul. Yes Paul/ Saul.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (It also says some will not hear or see, why would it be there.)<br />Oh I am sure there are more, But according to the book Revelations there are only seven true churches... why would John say this, I don't think he is deceiving anyone do you?<br />So here are links and testimonies of Catholics who have left the church and why?<br /><br />So if the Saints <span style="color:#ff6666;">(we)</span> here on the earth are not of this world, just in it.<br />Why would we be trying to access the passed on Saints to heaven, Do they have any right to hear us on earth praying through them. does make make any since?<br />No, they are present with Lord...<br /><em></em>We are they saints here one earth.

Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.<br />20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.<br />21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.<br />22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.<br />23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.<br />24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.<br />25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.<br />26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.<br />27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.<br />28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.<br />29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.</span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#ff6666;">John 16:6-8 (New International Version)<br /><span style="color:#333333;"><strong>6</strong></span> Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief. <span style="color:#000000;"><strong>7</strong></span> But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away.
