You know something, O23, it would be dishonest of me to say that I don't still have deep feelings for the RCC. I spent five decades (50 years) there. It is very normal.
However, don't worry, I'll not be returning to her, EVER!
I do wish you would grow up a bit and stop lashing out so much.

And which sect do you belong to?

I belong to Christ. I have no local church, I no longer have membership anywhere, save in His Body through His saving Gospel, which your church condemned at Trent.

Being human, as I assume you are, it is possible for you to believe a falsehood, yes?

Let's see. I took Paul at his literal word according to the Gospel of the grace of God. That's what I believed, and believe.
If I have believed a falsehood, then that Gospel is a lie.
If that's the case, you must throw the Bible in the trash, go atheist and never look back.
If Paul's Gospel is a lie, then Paul lied. Repeatedly. His letters are therefore untrustworthy and can rightly be trashed.
If Paul goes, then Luke goes with him for falsely or mistakenly attesting to Paul's apostleship. That means Luke can't be trusted and his gospel account and the book of Acts are trashed as well.
If Paul goes, then Peer goes as well. He also attested to Paul's apostleship in 2 Peter 3. That means Peter - your falsely purported first pope - can't be trusted either. He's out.
For your to be correct in what we both KNOW you believe (that Paul's Gospel is a lie), you have to gut the NT by about half and destroy the rest along with it.
Turn in your scapular, you don't need it anymore. Dawkins' fan club is still accepting new members.

This sounds nice and simple, except...
There are other people who also claim to take Scripture literally, and yet they come to different theological conclusions.
How is that possible?

This is a bullying tactic:
"Answer my question, or else":
you are ignorant
I will put you on ignore
I will put you down and call you names, etc.

Yes, as He told us through Paul in several places, for me most notably in 2 Timothy 3 which is talking about you.

We have the same odds as you do!.... there is no safety in numbers when it comes to Christianity.

Ok. It actually doesn't mention me specifically, though. So your above statement would fall into the realm of personal interpretation, as opposed to a literal reading.
Anyway. We're also instructed to be of one faith, in the NT, right?

And for the most part we are... its the wolves among us that desire to divide us up for themselves... hence you end up with complicated doctrines and rituals. The faith I see in scripture and first century historical records of the early christians is VERY SIMPLE.
