The term "Roman Catholic Church" is an oxymoron. It's a contradiction, to to use the word "Roman" which describes a particular geographic location and then apply the word Universal or (Catholic) to that location. Rome would need to encompass the entire globe to give the term validity.
So the title doesn't have any logical meaning, so it's a contradiction of terms. Just as everything else the RRC teach is contradictory and not founded on any Biblical doctrines. For example, the Pope has given himself the title "Holy Father" but God warned, not to call any man holy father.
The second commandment warns against making statues and bowing down to them but the RCC is famous for that. God said there's only One mediator between God and man and that being His Son, but the Pope rejects that and claims that Mary is a co mediatrix.
I could give you a 1000 examples where the Vatican blatantly rejects Gods commands and imposed their Pagan Roman dictates, to their teaching. The Pope has given himself the title "The Vicar of Christ", meaning Christs equal representative on earth.
The Universal (Catholic) Church, is the One true Church, where Christ is the head of it and all the believers make up the body. That includes believers from every age and every corner of the earth. The term "Catholic" was hijacked by Pagan Rome and incorporated into their Pagan Empire.
Constantinople, realized that he could never kill all the believers as there were too many around the world, so he just amalgamated the Church with the Pagan Roman Empire and called it the Roman Catholic Church.
The Irish Roman Catholic Church is not an independent non denominational Church. The Vatican has full control over it, and it can't do anything other than what the Pope allows, so it's no different to any other Church under Romanism.

Why don't you reveal what you believe. You used a lot of words to say noting other than you have taken refuge in your fortress of ignorance.
Why won't you reveal what you believe, hiding behind a book doesn't reveal anything about who you are and what if anything you stand for. Claiming to believe the bible is the go to for everyone who doesn't know what they believe. you do realize that there are around 40,000 different interpretations of the bible, right????.
I'm just wondering which of the 40,000 interpretations you have chosen to believe. You will have to give account before God, what you did with all of his Commands, Instructions, Doctrines and Word. He will demand to see your fruits, which will prove you as a fruitful servant or an unfruitful servant fit for punishment.
You claim to be a rouge Sheep, who relies on his own wisdom and understanding of what the bible says. God said that a rouge rebellious Sheep will be devoured by the hungry lion. He appointed Shepherds to watch over us gullible and simple Sheep, it's obvious you don't have a Shepherd watching over you so you're in mortal danger.
There's nothing more dangerous than a rouge sheep roaming around unprotected, whilst pretending to be a self appointed Shepherd. It's obvious you're not a Church Minister (shepherd). God placed a curse on those who trust in their own wisdom and lean on their own understanding, but here you are rejecting God's warning and promoting yourself as a wise shepherd.

Those things are a curse to everyone, except for those whom God elected and wrote their names in His book before the word was created.
You automatically, twisted those warnings and presented them as some beggar begging for someone to buy what He's selling. The gospel is not a consumer product as you portray it to be, it's not something we can choose to buy or reject. god is not like a failed used car salesman going around desperately trying to sell the old lemons.
You make a mockery of the gospel by treating it like a consumer product. Why do must intelligent people scoff and reject the gospel as foolishness. Why don't the intelligent men buy it, if it's such a good thing.

I was going to use the word, "reprobate of the earth" but I thought it may be a bit harsh, so I used pollution instead and you're still not happy. OK, how about I try, "unbelievers" "unrepentant sinners" "God haters" "lovers of self". I could keep going till the cows come home but you should get the gist of it with those descriptions.
Scripture PROOF God intended for ALL men to find Him.
This is why God created ALL humans from ONE man: to find God:
26 God made one man. From that one man he has made all the nations of men to live on the whole earth. He has given to each nation a certain time and a certain place to live.
27 He did this so they would look for him. He wanted them to reach out and find him. But he is not far from each one of us.
The Reformed Doctrine tries to hide this verse because it proves man can find God if they try..

This verse is completley unrelated, because it speaks about fattening the calf for the slaughter. So God doesn't send the good things, to prove His love for the sinners, He does it because the sinners live along side His elect. His blessings are for His elect but the sinners benefit for a time but it ends up cursing them more because they used prosperity to enable them to commit heinous sin.
A healthy reprobate, uses the health and strength to steal, kill and fornicate. So it would have been better if that person didn't benefit from Gods provisions, because he used them to heap more coals on his head for torment in the lake of fire.

You have found an obscure unrelated verse and twisted it meaning to push your Arminian religious view.
You didn't even mention which chapter or verse this came out of, but it doesn't sound like the bible at all. The God of the bible doesn't wish or want anything, if He just does whatever He pleases, regardless of whether you approve of it or not. He doesn't care about your views or feelings.
You need to deal with the truth and stop running around trying to find fault with God. God said, "None seek Me" but you say "nay Lord, look here it says they do seek you". So now, God is either a liar or there's somethi9ng wrong with your interpretation.
God said, "they will seek Me diligently but will not find Me", but you say He's playing hide and seek and He gives them all the clues they need to easily find Him.
I would suggest you find a Shepherd to lead you and teach you, because it's obvious you're only a sheep and not a Teacher or Minister.
