One foot supposedly 'in the church' and the other foot is something else.
In case you don't know while genuine Bibilical Christianity isn't man's sinless perfection, it is still very much an all-in matter. Jesus Christ is Lord of every area of life, not just bits and pieces of it to fit one's religious convience.
In case you don't know while creeds and professions of faith can be telling, they are worthless if people saying them refuse to be true to what they say.
Let's examine your 'creed': We this would be Roman Catholics, NOT Protestants and Baptist-type believers who reject, the Pope, the Mass, Maryolotry, infant baptism and who btw hold the Bible to be preeminent in its authority OVER All Traditon and the Pope.
Believe In And worship a lifeless piece of bread as being Christ physically present
a jesus who appears sometimes with his mama, who is the one really important in our religion because essentially without her he couldn't save anybody and he has to do what she tells him because she is 'the mama', the one Catholics really worship
and make the name of Son of God to be pretty much just religous talk, the saying the right words without the meaning of them.
Michael Hranek wrote: John Yurich Being dishonest with yourself again?
How am I being dishonest with myself? I am just going by facts. And the facts are that the Creed states "WE BELIEVE IN ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY SON OF GOD" which is the biblical and historical Jesus that the Catholic Church believes in and worships. If I only participate in the scriptural parts to the Mass then I worhip Jesus in spirit and truth since Jesus recognizes the scriptural parts to the Mass. If however a Jehovah Witness, Mormon or Christian Scientist embraces Jesus as their Personal Lord and Savior then they would have to leave those organizations and unite with a church that worships Jesus as God and believes that God is a Holy Trinity because the JW, Mormon and Christian Science Cults do not worship Jesus as God.

Galatians 1:8,9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Can this be true of the one who believes in Christ? That he would be anathema?

Just because the Catholic Church believes some false ideas pertaining to Jesus does not mean that they do not believe in and worship the biblical and historical Jesus. The official teaching in the Creed pertaining to Jesus is "WE BELIEVE IN ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY SON OF GOD", which is the biblical and historical Jesus.

I have always believed in and worshipped the biblical and historical Jesus since I have never bowed down to and prayed to a Crucifix or any statue.

Webster's 1913 Dictionary wrote: Syn. -- Abettor, Accessory, Accomplice. These words denote different degrees of complicity in some deed or crime. An abettor is one who incites or encourages to the act, without sharing in its performance. An accessory supposes a principal offender. One who is neither the chief actor in an offense, nor present at its performance, but accedes to or becomes involved in its guilt, either by some previous or subsequent act, as of instigating, encouraging, aiding, or concealing, etc., is an accessory.
You aren't a Christian unless you leave the Romish Church, because you are not an innocent about that Church being anti-Christian.

Just owning a Crucifix is not breaking the 2nd Commandment. Breaking the 2nd Commandment would be to bow down to and pray to a Crucifix. The fact remains that the Creed states "WE BELIEVE IN ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY SON OF GOD", which is the biblical and historical Jesus that the Catholic Church has always believed in and worshipped. Normal Evangelical Protestants do not believe the insanity that the Catholic Church worships a False jesus because normal Evangelical Protestants comprehend that if the Creed of the Catholic Church states "WE BELIEVE IN ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY SON OF GOD" then that means that the Catholic Church believes in and worships the biblical and historical Jesus. Only crazy and insane Evangelical Protestants who are incapable of comprehension believe that the Catholic Church worships a False jesus.
John Y., you suffer from focusing on what you like and not what is there. Matthew 19:16-21
Matthew Henry wrote: Christ knew that covetousness was the sin which most easily beset this young man; ... Christ's promises make his precepts easy, and his yoke pleasant and very comfortable; yet this promise was as much a trial of the young man's faith, as the precept was of his charity and contempt of the world. It is required of us in following Christ, that we duly attend his ordinances, strictly follow his pattern, and cheerfully submit to his disposals; and this from love to him, and in dependence on him....The gospel is the only remedy for lost sinners. Many abstain from gross vices who do not attend to their obligations to God. Thousands of instances of disobedience in thought, word, and deed, are marked against them in the book of God. Thus numbers forsake Christ, loving this present world: they feel convictions and desires, but they depart sorrowful, perhaps trembling. It behoves us to try ourselves in these matters, for the Lord will try ourselves in these matters, for the Lord will try us.

The Creed states "WE BELIEVE IN ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY SON OF GOD", which is the biblical and historical Jesus that the Catholic Church worships. Of course there are Catholics who are Pro Life who think that they are saved but are unsaved because they have not embraced Jesus Christ as their Personal Lord and Savior. But the undisputable fact is that there are Catholics who have embraced Jesus Christ as their Personal Lord and Savior and are just as saved as any Evangelical Protestant. It is totally superfluous if a saved Catholic does not leave the Catholic Church. They will still go to Heaven when they pass away as they embraced Jesus as Savior.

Why do you lump Catholics in with Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons? All Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons are certainly unsaved because they do not worship Jesus as God. But Catholics worship Jesus as God. And the fact is that there are Catholics who are saved because they embraced Jesus Christ as their Personal Lord and Savior. Not all Catholics are saved but there are some who are. Just because a Catholic has not left the Catholic Church after embracing Jesus Christ as their Personal Lord and Savior does not automatically indicate that they are not saved. Let's leave that up to the only one who knows for certain and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Actually Jackson was an unsaved Muslim and not an unsaved JW as he had renounced the JW organization and converted to Islam. But you are correct I don't get this story either.
