My burden is for the people in the pews who are being misled, misinformed and misdirected. Therefore, as in a burning building I RUN to the sheep and not away from the sheep. The building is burning, the sheep need to be led out. | That would seem to be a question of degrees of guilt. I would not say that the people in the pews are anywhere near as guilty as the leadership. | Absolutely, but the people will still be held accountable on the day of judgment, unless they repent and put their trust in the one true and living priest, Jesus the Christ. This is why we must know how to be good apologists when witnessing to Romanists, so that we can point them to the LORD Jesus. |
