.......
but to keep it simple, ask yourself one question: all of the disciples of Jesus everywhere, when given the choice to obey God or man, Jesus or someone else, they obey God, they obey Jesus.

NOT ONE of the catholics I've ever asked or seen asked in the last 40 years , except charismatic catholics who then were kicked out of the rcc, said that they would obey Jesus, nor that they would obey God, instead of the pope. every one of them, totally ignoring Scripture, said they would do what the pope said/says/ instead of what Jesus said/says when they are diametrically opposed to each other. (i.e.when there is not a chance to obey both Jesus and man/pope at the same time; either obey one, and hate the other, or obey the other, and hate the one).

both martin luther and charles chiniquoy, and many thousands others, might have remained in the catholic church IF they would have been allowed to obey only Jesus, and to remain subject to Jesus, and not to the pope or his demands...... so many demands of the pope, and of the catholic catechism, are directly contramanded by God's Word/ Scripture.

forget all the traditions of men. go directly to God and His Word. otherwise, there is no life.
I highly doubt that, because any man who said he would follow the pope instead of Christ is not Catholic. The Pope is the servant of the servants of God. Therefore, to deny Christ and follow the Pope would mean one of three situations. Either the Pope has failed to serve God and therefore one who follows the Pope is wrong. The Pope is following God and the person believes the Pope to be the source of that information and therefore is wrong. OR The Pope is following God and the person believes they are following God and the Pope but truly are not and therefore are wrong. In every single one of the scenarios, it is the individual who has failed and is not truly following the Catholic faith.

Well is it reasonable to read into the scripture that Christ gave to Peter special keys with which Peter could bind or loose the sins of those he encountered? If I recall the Lord was called out for saying that your sins are forgive when He healed a man. The reason being that only God can forgive sin.
Therefore, Christ being God has the power to give that authority to His servant. To deny that is to deny God infinite power...or to deny that Jesus is God. Which heresy do you want to teach?

Would someone please give me a chapter and verse breakdown of where this comes from?
Chapter and Verse comes from the Catholic Church, it didn't exist in the original form of Scripture.

The fifteen promises of Mary to Christians who recite the rosary:
1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.
2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.
3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against Hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the
I will respond as to why we believe such things:
1. By recitation of the Rosary, one contemplates the mysteries of the Faith, 20 in total.
2. Mary promises to pray for us before Jesus.
3. To contemplate the mysteries of the Faith through unceasing prayer is to put on the full armor of God.
4. To contemplate the mysteries of the Faith through unceasing prayer is to trust God which will lead to obedience to God which leads to service.
5. To contemplate the mysteries of the Faith through unceasing prayer is to love, believe, and trust Christ, thus your soul shall not perish.
6. Again, see 3, 4, and 5. Also notice the "if he be just" thus meaning he is truly trusting God. If he not be just then he is lost already.
7. To keep the Rosary is a sign of trust in Christ and to trust in His commandments, thus you will be able to receive any of the Sacraments.
8. See 3, 4, 5, and 6.

You've got that backwards. If you believe this, then you're not 'Catholic'.

My deceased son-in-law was a Catholic Theologian and I 'had to' go to Catechism until I was 12. I 'had' more Catholic books then the majority of catholics have, because I wanted to understand What they believe and here where I live, I help out the nuns because a lot of them retire here in this '55 and over' community and they leave a lot of literature in our laundry room for us to take & read - and not just them - but I'd say there's at least 98% catholics living here and we're a close knit community.
I have more teaching booklets by your former pope Benedict than anyone living here because if they leave it out for someone to take - I take those books, magazines and teaching booklets. KoC, you name it - I have those type magazines as well.

Everything that you guys believe that we don't believe was handed to you by one of the popes -- and the Vicar of Christ .... what does that mean? I know what it means .... "in the place of Christ". Whatever any of the popes put down as law [for a lack of a better term] that becomes catholic dogma .... regardless if it contradicts the Words of Christ or not. That's your and my history. I got out at 10 yrs old because I had an experience or you'd say epiphany of Christ. Yup, I walked out of the confessional one Saturday night and instead of going to that altar to say countless Hail Mary's, Our Father's and Apostle's Creeds ... I went out the door. But I had to go back to catechism because my family wanted my brother and I to make 'Confirmation' too. Fortunately for me, the nun that I had understood my love for Jesus only and only gave me Jesus things to read. She was a good women.

If I die before I move from here, with all the catholic literature I have in my apartment, they'd think I was catholic.

Most of my family are as well. I preach Jesus - they don't KNOW Him.

So says you, you do not have the power to know what is in the hearts of your family. TO PRESUME SUCH is to presume you know what only GOD knows.

Am I to trust the admins, an adultering murderer, a man I've never heard of, you, and your church? Or am I to trust where the Holy Spirit has led me?

By the way, I don't discount Martin Luther as simply an adultering murderer. St. Paul was a murderer and St. Augustine was an adulterer and fornicator.

trust and seek ABBA. the holy spirit did not lead you where you are. Yahshua never leads His disciples into demonic worship service. no, not ever.

do not trust any man like you admitted trusting who led you into the rcc , they did it through deception, and with demonic help all along.

go back to simple Scripture. seek ABBA (God) Himself, or you will never ever know truth. (and Yhvh never goes against His Own Word --- almost anyone free from the abomination can see clearly the heresy of the rosary and of the mass and of the confessional. test everything by Scripture, like the Bereans, as Yhvh says to. Scripture, Scripture, Scripture.

otherwise heresy, heresy, heresy.

don't you want to go by Scripture yet ?

IF you do, then what does God's Word say about who can know what God thinks and what man thinks?

So says you, you do not have the power to know what is in the hearts of your family. TO PRESUME SUCH is to presume you know what only GOD knows.

[h=1]1 Corinthians 2:10-16Revised Standard Version (RSV)[/h] [SUP]10 [/SUP]God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. [SUP]11 [/SUP]For what person knows a man’s thoughts except the spirit of the man which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. [SUP]12 [/SUP]Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God. [SUP]13 [/SUP]And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit.[SUP][a][/SUP]
[SUP]14 [/SUP]The unspiritual[SUP][b][/SUP] man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. [SUP]15 [/SUP]The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. [SUP]16 [/SUP]“For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Presume? I can't presume with my own family that I am so close with and love so much, Thomist. They don't know Him. I've talked Jesus with them since 1976 and you haven't any idea what reactions I've gotten.

I don't hate catholics at all. Just because we don't agree and I believe we're to follow The Word of God only and not men or "traditions" as my SIL would say when we'd discuss what we both agreed on and didn't agree on, for my daughter's sake -- the traditions always trump The Word of God, unfailingly.

Listen, this is a sad topic but I couldn't help but be drawn up here tonight to this thread and God only knows why but I don't follow men. If they can quote Scripture and in context, etc. - then yes, I enjoy talking with my Brothers & Sisters ... but I've studied His Word since back when and that's all I've been doing for all of these yrs as I don't travel & don't watch TV so because I love Him - I love His Words. It's just all about truly Loving Him and knowing that He 'is' The Word of God so that you don't want to hear what anybody else has to say that's Not from The Word of God made flesh anymore.

His Love to you.

So for the record, Catholicism is heresy. That's what the admins of this site believe.

Mary WAS A SINNER.

She needed a savior, just like you and me.

She is NOT the "mother of God". God has no mother, because God is God. Yes Jesus is God, and Mary was his mother, but we have to understand the dual nature of Jesus. He was 100% God yes, and also 100% man. Mary was his mother as a man, not as God. No where does the scripture refer to Mary as the "mother of God". And in fact, she's not even mentioned in all the epistles. All the New Testament instruction to the church is all about Jesus, not Mary. They never said "hail Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners". They always said JESUS .. JESUS... JESUS.

This is preaching to the choir for most people here. But it regularly happens that we start to accumulate Catholics here who really promote and argue their Catholicism, along with all the heresy.

At the same time, we understand that no one is born a Christian. That's why Jesus said you must be born again. So we welcome all who are seeking -- Catholics, Muslims, homosexuals, and even protestants who are "Christian" only by tradition -- to experience our fellowship here on this site and learn the truth that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and no one can come to the father except through Him. And there is only one God, and one mediator between God, the man Christ Jesus. Because he was both 100% man and 100% God, that makes him the perfect mediator between man and God. That's why the scripture also tells us to go straight to Jesus -- go to the throne of grace with confidence, knowing that he can understand our weaknesses and everything, since he lived as a man like us (and even experienced all temptation). Hence we don't need Mary to go to or go through -- that defeats the purpose of Jesus.
Where does it say in the scriptures Mary was a sinner?

Yes, Mary needed a savior, Jesus. I absolutely agree.

How is Mary not the mother of God? You admit that Jesus is both 100% man and 100% God. So, by reason, she is the mother of God. People don't mother bodies, they mother people. Jesus was a person. He was not two people, but only one person with two natures. So, in being the mother of the person, Jesus, she was the mother of God, not in the sense that God came into being through Mary, but she carried him for nine months, breast-fed him as an infant, raised him to adulthood. She was every bit a mother to Jesus as our own mother is to us. Jesus loved Mary every bit as we love our own mothers. You have to see that. To deny that relationship would to be to deny Jesus' humanity and your own.

I think we can all agree that we respect Mary as the mother of Jeus and for being obedient. However....I must ask where does th eidea of parying to Mary come from when the bible says nothing of this. We are to pray to God in Jesus Name. No offence to Mary but I an, for one, certainly grateful to be able to talk to God through what Jesus did and have Him speak to me though the Holy Spriit ....why do some not believe this is possible? God a chapter and verse on this?

did you read the OP ? if so, how many times is it written there that Mary is His mother, or Mary is Jesus mother ?
i.e. the Op didn't neglect the relationship as you may have tried to imply or infer.

then again, when Jesus was told his mother and brothers were trying to reach Him, what did HE SAY ? "who is my mother and brothers and sisters - whoever hears the Word of God and does it, they are My mother and brothers and sisters"

did you search the Scripture? is it written ever that "Mary is the mother of God "? ever ?

there is a reason that for that. can you figure it out ? (hint:always avoid idolatry and sin, always).

did you search the Scripture? and search(without going after them) pagan religions outside God's people , in other nations ?

("mother of god" worship is used frequently in pagan religions, religions that can save no one)

Yes we can give her respect for what she did, but we can see in scripture that Jesus did not hold her as any higher than the rest of us who are in Him;

[h=1]Matthew 12:47-50[/h]47 Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.”
48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

Did Mary not do the will of the Father?

Yes she did, that does not mean she was sinless.
As all have sinned and fell short of the glory of God, but this also does not mean she was held in higher regard then any of the rest of us as Matthew 12:47-50 shows. For we are all called to do His will in our lives, those who do not do His will are not His.

I will respond as to why we believe such things:
1. By recitation of the Rosary, one contemplates the mysteries of the Faith, 20 in total.
2. Mary promises to pray for us before Jesus.
3. To contemplate the mysteries of the Faith through unceasing prayer is to put on the full armor of God.
4. To contemplate the mysteries of the Faith through unceasing prayer is to trust God which will lead to obedience to God which leads to service.
5. To contemplate the mysteries of the Faith through unceasing prayer is to love, believe, and trust Christ, thus your soul shall not perish.
6. Again, see 3, 4, and 5. Also notice the "if he be just" thus meaning he is truly trusting God. If he not be just then he is lost already.
7. To keep the Rosary is a sign of trust in Christ and to trust in His commandments, thus you will be able to receive any of the Sacraments.
8. See 3, 4, 5, and 6.
I Google what is rosary pray

In my opinion, this pray is mixed between bible and something else. half true is more danger than false. In this pray Mary is Queen of Heaven, the same title to the Rome Goddess. It is not in the bible.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
