Let nothing frighten you.
All things pass away;

God alone suffices."

But you don't agree with her, right? On another thread you just said yesterday that God does change, and that He, God, had some "Levitical" laws in place and then Jesus (who is God) came along and abrogated those same laws.

God might change the laws but God Himself never changes.
God could, theoretically change the ten commandments, but He stated that He would never do this, so we know He won't. Disciplinary-type laws, such as the Levitical laws or Church laws such as priests not being allowed to marry or the former requirement that Catholics had to abstain from meat on Fridays, can change without the law-giver Himself changing.

Here's a great video from a priest and a nun you should watch.

Rev_18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of [the Catholic church], my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Revelation 18:4 refers to coming out of the world and it's Spirit. Why would Jesus want people to come out of the Church, His mystical body?

Good rhetorical question,  , I'm glad you asked. Jesus would want people to come out of the Catholic church because it's an abomination of homosexuals and pedophiles and it refuses to obey Jesus and it encourages its followers, like you, to disobey God as well.
And the term, "mystical body" is not in the bible, so obviously you're wrong about that whole premise.

And the thing about the abomination of homosexuals and pedophiles deal is that I'm pretty sure all that is just the tip of the iceberg. What have the priests and nuns been doing all these years, all 2000 years, hiding in their cloisteries and rectories? How much illicit sex has really been going on? How many priest-nun babies have been born to these people? How many bodies are buried under these convents? And your church has 414,313 "Fathers." How many of them really are fathers? Plenty, is my guess. Basically there is no law behind the closed doors of Catholic convents. 414,313 human leeches, leeching off of the collection plates of the believers and from indulgences and so on. An absolute drag on society, a waste of food, just like the Buddhist monks really with their "begging bowls." They're leeches too. I am an equal opportunity leech exposer.

Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 29
Do you think you can take over the universe and improve it?
I do not believe it can be done.
The universe is sacred.
You cannot improve it.
If you try to change it, you will ruin it.
If you try to hold it, you will lose it.
So sometimes things are ahead and sometimes they are behind;
Sometimes breathing is hard, sometimes it comes easily;
Sometimes there is strength and sometimes weakness;
Sometimes one is up and sometimes down.
Therefore the sage avoids extremes, excesses, and complacency.

I don't deny that there are statements of wisdom that come from non-Christian sources.

Christianity lacks wisdom since it's a superstition based on myth. Anything that might seem wise was taken from non-Christian sources. Jesus himself is a copied myth. This make Christianity a fraud.
