Christianity is the largest religion in the world, it is far from being the narrow path. It's actually the widest path.
If you want to find the narrow path, look within yourself.

The lil lady's former roman catholic. Isnt anymore. I believe in anything that doesn't contradict the spoken words of Jesus Christ. 1st point was calling anyone father but God the Father. No misinterpretation for me. A Christian is someone that believes in the gift that God gave us that was Jesus and everything He is as the Son of God. He layed out our instructions very simply and easily understood from my view. This is despite the numerous books withheld from publishing in the Holy Bible at the discretion of the catholic church, not divine instructionedit on 23-4-2013 by GoldenRuled because: (no reason given)

Deuteronomy 32
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
But this authority, although it is given to man and is exercised by man, is not human, but rather divine, and has been given by the divine Word to Peter himself and to his successors in him, whom the Lord acknowledged an established rock, when he said to Peter himself: Whatsoever you shall bind etc. [Matt. 16:19]. Therefore, whosoever resists this power so ordained by God, resists the order of God [cf. Rom. 13:2] ... Furthermore, we declare, say, define, and proclaim to every human creature that they by necessity for salvation are entirely subject to the Roman Pontiff.

#18. "As to papal authority, the Pope is as it were God on earth, Sole sovereign of all the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having a plentitude of unbroken power, entrusted by the omnipotent God to govern the earthly and heavenly kingdoms."

"Take care, so that the sheepfold may be one, it now is divided into parts. Take care at last, that we lose not that salvation, that life and breath which thou hast given us. For thou art our shepherd, thou art our physician, thou art our governor, thou art our husbandman, thou art finally another God on earth."

The Lord says "no"... Mary does not respond to prayers... She's dead.

I'm drawn to a current thread (not yet posted) relating mental acuity to religiosity (my take)...it's not enough for the hat not to fit - the problem is it nags...
