You can’t go wrong by just reading the Bible, and simply following what it says. Once you start listening to men, like the pope, who add crazy things to the words of God, you’re doing precisely what the Bible warns us NOT to do. 25/27 books of the New Testament warn us against false teachers and institutions such as the Catholic Church. Gosh, you think it might be an important danger God wants us to be aware of? Yes! Denominations have problems because they deviate from the word of God into the politics, sin, culture and control of man.
