Unspecified Symptom pt 2

Your soul keeps on drifting,
drifting further and further away from the Highest powers.
You become more intertwined with the world
and all its disordered desires.
Psychologically you’re unstable
and it manifests on your physical being.
You’re so tired of the fast life,
you want to slow down
but you keep overlooking the stop signs.
In you’re silent revelry, you want to escape,
you want to get out of this delightful misery.
Your will is strong but it is thwarted by some unknown power
that keeps you from reaching that place of tranquility.
It keeps you from surrendering your all to the Most High
because it knows by doing this
you’ll be free from its grip,
free from the confusion
and free from the world
and its disordered desires.
It knows that by you surrendering your all to the Most High,
you’ll no longer be living in the flesh but living in the spirit.
It knows that by you surrendering your all to the Most High,
that God will be in you and you in Him.
So it continues to threaten you
by taunting you then tempting you to tears which devour you.
It feels as though your spirit is dying slowly each day
as you drift further and further into the world
and all its disordered desires….

"I say . . . unto thee, that thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church…”
You claim of a succession of authority
passed down to the Bishop of Rome.
"I say . . . unto thee, that thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church…”
You claim that no human is infallible
and Christ alone is head of the church.
You reject the doctrine of Sola Scriptura
but believe in the Bible and tradition.
You accept that the Bible alone
is the source of God’s revelation.
To you, justification involves
being made righteous and holy.
To you, justification involves
faith only…
Too great to ignore,
are the differences between the two,
“The main trunk” and “the separated brethren.”
