Catholic Church Is Not Of God

[SantoSubito]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?.. WHAT ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE WHO AGREE WITH THIS AND ARE NOT AFRICANS?.. I would say other things but right now i have no interest and i'm actually a bit TIRED..

If you grew up in a conservative protestant household in America then you would understand.

 

[diidow01]

The catholics can attack me all they want after seeing this and they can do even much more. But everything i write here today is TRUE!.. I believe that the Catholic Church is evil. As a matter of fact is Idolatory..

Do not follow their doctrine

That you should pray with the image of Jesus or Mary. As this will be equal to making grave images which God has already warned us against ( Exodus 20:4-5)

That you should call on Mary and the dead saints to intercede on your behalf in prayer. It is Jesus and the Holy Spirit who intercedes on our behalf (Hebrews 7:25, Romans 6:26)....

Moreover the chain of the cross of Jesus Christ you keep carrying around will not Protect you.. Jesus Christ is no longer dead, He is alive and on the right side of his father, Now in a glorified form (Act 7:55-56).

The ridiculous prayer where they say *Holy Mary, full of grace*.. Wait A Min, Mary was never Holy!.Mary was a human being who was born, as all humans are, with a sin nature and who recognized that she needed a Savior. In fact, the very passage used in the Hail Mary, known as Mary’s Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55), contains the declaration “my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,” a clear indication that she understood her need for a Savior from sin. The Bible never says that Mary was anyone but an ordinary human whom God chose to use in an extraordinary way. Yes, Mary was a righteous woman and favored (graced) by God (Luke 1:27-28). At the same time, Mary was a sinful human being who needed Jesus Christ as her Savior, just like everyone else (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; 6:23; 1 John 1:8).

*Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners*, What?, did i just hear you say Mother of God??.. Mary was the human mother of the human Jesus Christ, who was indeed God incarnate. But she was not the mother of God, neither is she the ”queen of heaven,” another title given to her by the Catholic Church which has no basis in Scripture. God doesn’t have a mother, nor does He have a queen. He is an eternal, infinite Being, uncreated and unborn, self-sufficient and self-sustaining.

Stay away from any doctrine that will lead you to HELL!... You were warned, don't say you weren't

I kind of agree with you, but I rather be neutral about he whole idea. Since we believe in one God, Jesus Christ, and many things the Bible tells us, as we Christians all form the one body of Christ, let's leave it up to God to decide if the Catholic Church is this or that; after all, He knows the truth. We should just pray that God will make our spirits sensitive to some things, so that whatever false teachings come our way, we won't want to hear or follow it.

God help us all.

RESPONSE: Catholic Church Is Not Of God

Dear Tobby17,

Your words seem filled with anger and intolerance. You certainly are entitled to express your thoughts and opinions with respect to other faiths (including the Roman Catholic Church). However, may I respectfully suggest that the Heavenly Father loves all of us unconditionally, regardless of how we worship Him.

I believe that your communication indicates that you do not (or care to) fully understand with greater precison the fundamentals of Catholicism. It also appears that you do not seem willing enough to simply disagree with our form of faith as a way of life, and express your own personal faith in ways that are more accepting and loving. I'm almost afraid to ask your thoughts regarding Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and the array of Protestant faiths (incidentally, perhaps you'd like to include the Episcopal faith in your stream, given its similarity to Catholicism in many theological aspects?).

In any case, the tone of your message would seem (to me, anyway) to be quite intolerant, greatlly misinformed on several levels and angry. I'm not convinced that this what Jesus really wanted for us ... or taught us ...

Respectfully,

Your Brother in Christ,
John

Really?

Exodus

20 And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the ea
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 Thou shalt not steal.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.rth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Someone pulls out a thread from over a year ago to tell a young boy
that isnt here, who was new in his faith,,,thats standing on truth from scripture
to learn to be more tolerant?........then gives a list of groups (to tolerate)that include
enemies of Christ?

Thats just unbelievable!

 

[carey]

People that are involved in a false religion will not be able to see it until God opens their eye's

 

[JaumeJ]

Yeshua, Jesus, has invited all to His bosom for all eternity, all who accept Him that is.

The Catholic church does not welcome anyone unless they are first indoctrinated.

Let me guess, because we deny non-Catholics communion? The Church welcomes everyone to the Mass and to Christ in the holy waters of baptism. But to receive communion we ask that they confess the faith of the Church and be baptised (or if they are already validly baptised to confess the faith and be confirmed).

You may guess if it is necessary. I live in Spain, I see unwed mothers denied by holier-than-thou priests to have their babies christened. Now, though I do not believe in such unsolicited acts on innocents, I do know this is hypocritical. Not to mention the exorbitant fees for first communions and weddings.
You said it, "they must confess the faith of the church." It is only necessary to confess Jesus Christ, Yeshua, crucified for our sins. There is no defense for that apostate church.
You may validate all you want for that group; Jesus, Yeshua, is all the Body Members need to be saved. Repent and turn to Jesus; He is life, He is personal, not some bureaucratic theology.

I think it's the E-vironmentalists. They seem to be recycling an abnormally large amount of threads lately.

For one the practice of the Church is to baptize children born out of wedlock. If a priest is refusing to baptize the child then he is in error and I'd recommend reporting him to the local bishop. Second, first communion shouldn't have any fees associated with it, and the fees for weddings are usually nominal (my priest charges $50 via a donation to the parish if the family is financially able to donate.)

This is practiced commonly throughout Spain, but I must say, the majority refused are poor. You ought to look up the varied fees for weddings and first communions, it is criminal.

[Brother_Don]

When my wife and 2 sons were baptized they were baptized lutheran, as i was when i was a baby. After the baptismal i gave the pastor a card with a gift in it. The pastor opened the card and said that i didn't have to do that. i told him it was what i wanted to do, the pastor said ok, lets all go out for dinner, his family and mine that he was treating.

Jesus spoke to the Pharisees again. “I am the light of the world,” he said. “Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness.”

13 The Pharisees said to him, “Now you are testifying on your own behalf; what you say proves nothing.”

14 “No,” Jesus answered, “even though I do testify on my own behalf, what I say is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going. You do not know where I came from or where I am going. 15 You make judgments in a purely human way; I pass judgment on no one.

Brother OFM, I do not get it either..i am a community member(not covenant yet) of a wesleyan chirch and I am sure these same 'only grace' protestants would bash me as well for believing that works are a ggood and necessary thing to have..these same protestants also forget that their fathehrrs in the faith(luther..calvin) held onto much of their vatholicism and regarding calvin im convinced he was a closet catholic anyways...the reform.theologt would be nowhere ew ithout augustine a catholic, yet they have the nerve
