The Divine Reference Point
Acts 17:30-31.
The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”
The Divine Reference point is Jesus
      Anyone looking for the solution to the problems they see around them, look to Jesus as the answer not the church nor people but the one reference point. Jesus is the answer you seek.
"Outside of the Catholic Church everything may be had except salvation." St. Augustine, vol. IX p.122
This quote from St. Augustine is a vivid reminder of how those who do not believe will view those who do.  Many answers in life can be rationalized by anyone's reasoning but God has given clear proof to the biggest issue in life.
John 10:9
"I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved." Jesus Christ
