Although the title of the book is "God - Catholic Audacity, " that is just the easiest way to understand how the Christianity of the first century became a vile religion that had no connection with God. It would be fair to say that what the world knows as "Christianity" is the opposite of Christianity. It offers no spiritual benefit to humankind. Even worse, it convinces people they have a relationship with God when there is none. Even more devastating, the world is introduced by their "missionaries" to this erroneous form of Christianity. Fortunately, Christianity still exists and is the answer to humankind's spiritual needs. The truth is overwhelming and easily understood to be from God. Protestantism fails because, although well-intentioned was only a reforming of the Catholic Church and mistakenly carried along much of its baggage. The amazing thing about the growth of error is in its violence and not just the outward murders and torture but the total disregard for God's word and all its consequences. This book, in its simplicity of history, is accurate. It is hard to conceive of any Catholic remaining Catholic after reading this book, and that includes all their members and hierarchy and even their pope. The premise for this statement is in the thorough destruction of the Catholic interpretation of Matthew 16:16-19. Of course, these verses used to create their pope and the Catholic Church's right to rule as God on earth are without any merit. There may not be anything more obvious in all of the literature and certainly nothing more obvious in the word of God. The carelessness would continue to be multiplied with endless meaningless rules while adding a system to honor men and anyone else that could be used to promote Catholicism. The doctrines of Catholicism and Protestantism reflect an extreme disrespect for God while appearing to be the emissaries for God. Truly the central despicable and soul-devastating error is the changing of the gospel message. As a result, the Lord cannot add a person to His spiritual body by their obedience. You need to read this book not because it exposes the "Christian" religions of the world as frauds but to learn the truth as was revealed in the first century and resulted in people becoming spiritual and having their past sins forgiven. Catholicism is a religion that can seem logical to humankind with all its niceties and pomp, extravagance, and ceremonies. People like the visual, the claimed miracles, the rituals, and the appearance of something they can think of as godly. God and the spiritual nature of what is important are quite the opposite. A person who loves the truth will greatly appreciate God's way while simultaneously being amazed at its simplicity, meaning, and how everything fits perfectly together. The church that Jesus built and continues to build is amazingly different than the "churches of the world" in every respect, the least of which would be in the "buildings" of Christianity and their worldly involvement. The church is fundamentally spiritual and consists of those who obeyed the gospel - souls, not some material organization. There is simplicity and seriousness in the things of God as He goes about achieving His purpose, which happens to be your eternal success. You will learn many truths that will amaze you, but nothing will compare to the realization of the lies you have been taught. These are things you believed and now know had no basis in truth. You will be excited as you move confidently to a path that will allow you to share in the Divine Nature. God's declares that FEW will succeed, although He desires ALL to come to repentance. God has high expectations for those in the body of Christ. Once "in Christ, " your devoted service begins. The most basic advice to every person is that they must avoid dying "in their sins."
