How can the opening line be to God when the Catholic Priest does not follow God?

The Catholic Church DOES teach the Catholic Priest can forgive your sins through the "Keys".

Also why would you even talk to a Catholic Priest about your sins when he has molested children?

There is a 99% chance that the Catholic Priest you are talking to has molested children. So why do you refuse to go to God directly?

This is another reason why ThomistColin the Catholic Church is a false church.

We are to confess our sins directly to God, not through a Catholic Priest who Worships Mary!

God cannot and will not listen to your prayers to Him ThomistColin as long as your teach the commandments of men as Doctrines from God!

In Vain you are Worshiping God ThomistColin.

This is not a Christian post, it´s forum barbarianism and hate. You should be ashamed of yourself. I don´t know why the moderators allow it, maybe this forum is a sister forum of CARM.

Everything you say is a twisted lie in one form or another, and not worth rebutting because you can only read your own posts. You worship the god of self.

Have fun playing in my ignorasium. Your savage posts are not worth my time.

Thus you reveal yourself as an enemy of God with your lies. Begone Satan, and trouble this place of Christ no more. For you are not here to preach, you are not here to help, you are not here to love, and you are not here to rebuke. Instead, you seek to manipulate and cause hatred and lies to be spread. You are as your father, the Father of Lies.

So you Catholics deny that children were molested by Catholic Priests?

This is so typical of the Catholics. Deny everything, and call others liars.

Actually ThomistColin its you and the Catholic Church that is an enemy of God and I can prove it.

1. The Catholic Church teaches Mary was born without sin.

Romans 3:23
[SUP]23 [/SUP] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

2. The Catholic Church teaches Mary is our Mediator.

1 Timothy 2:5
[SUP]5 [/SUP] For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

3. The Catholic Church teaches Mary never died and was assumed into Heaven.

Hebrews 9:27
[SUP]27 [/SUP] And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment

Its you Catholics, epostle and ThomistColin who are the REAL enemies of God teaching as Doctrines from God the commandments of men.

Every time you teach Mary was without sin you have separated yourself from God. Every time you teach Mary is our Mediator you have separated yourself from God. Every time you teach Mary was assumed you have separated yourself from God.

Matthew 15:8-9
[SUP]8 [/SUP] 'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.
[SUP]9 [/SUP] And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' "

In VAIN epostle you Worship God!

In VAIN ThomistColin you Worship God!

Its you Catholics who are following Satan who has called himself Mary! The Mary you Worship IS Satan in disguise.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus(1 Timothy 2:5).

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world(1 John 2:1-2).

The truth is we go to God to ask for forgiveness of our sins,and no one else,which Jesus is our only mediator between us and God,and not a priest,or any man.

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen(Revelation 1:6).

The truth is all the saints are considered priests,with Jesus being the High Priest,and kings,with Jesus being the King of kings,and not a certain group of people that are considered priests.

It appears that the Roman Catholic Church likes to delight in things that pagan religions,and the occult,like to practice.

The Catholic Church was created to counter act what God has Said and done.

The Catholics hate the Word of God. The Catholics hate the Truth from God.

All the Catholics can do is teach the Doctrines of Satan and call all True Christians enemies of God.

I think we all should confess our sins to a priest (psalm 110:4) we all have a high priest and the scripture gives us this promise: 1John 1:9 also see 1 Tim. 2:5
if others see a different way, thats between them and the Father, is He not able to save ALL to the uttermost who call upon Him?

I wouldn't go that far. God's people are in all churches. My problem is with the Papacy. Even then there's a mixture of truth and error. Christ takes believers were they are at, even doctrinally.

It says confess your sins to one another, which does not exclude a priest, nor mandate a priest.

You confess sin to another when you have sinned against them. It has nothing to do with idle talk or gossip.

However, only God can actually forgive sin because sin is the transgression of His moral law.

No ThomistColin.

I hate those who claim to be followers of Jesus but instead are following the Pagan religion Catholicism.

Again I ask you ThomistColin, where in the Scriptures does God say Mary can hear and answer our Prayers?

Again I ask you ThomistColin, where in the Scriptures does God say Mary was assumed into Heaven?

Again I ask you ThomistColin, where in the Scriptures does God say Mary is our Mediator?

Knowing you Catholics, all you will do is call me names and provide absolutely no proof from the Scriptures. All you will do is quote from Satan and what he says in the Catholic Church.

Face it ThomistColin, you do not have the Truth in you and cannot enter into Heaven as long as you follow Mary.

You side step the lies you told as if that's okay. Until you confront that, this discussion between you and me is tabled.

Interesting...the only person on here that I see is lying all the time is you ThomistColin.

It looks to me that ThomistColin is not interested in the Truth from God. He is more interested in calling Christians an enemy of God.

If you will not answer him ThomistColin then answer me.

How can the Catholic Church say Mary is our mediator ThomistColin when God in the Bible says there is only one mediator?

1 Timothy 2:5
[SUP]5 [/SUP] For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

Tell me ThomistColin, why do you Catholics teach the oposite of what God says? Clearly God says there is only one mediator ThomistColin. So why is the Catholic Church teaching Mary is also a mediator?

Or will you rant and rave nonsense and try to change the subject?

If the Catholic Church is lying on this subject then there is a very good chance the Catholic Church is also lying on other subjects also ThomistColin.

Now lets see if you answer this question ThomistColin or will you rant and rave about us True Christians being an enemy of God?

Tell me, do you believe that 99% of the priesthood are pedophiles and child molesters? Because that is what Vdp said.

Do you attend a Catholic Church every Sunday and come on here to talk about how evil the Catholic Church is? Because that is what Vdp says he does.

Because that's what I was talking about. He's tried to change the subject when he was called on his lies and manipulations of the situation. Actually look at what he has written.

Because KenAllen, you can either argue against the Catholic Church with truth or lies. If you argue with lies, then you are of the Father of Lies. Vdp argues with lies, and when called on it, changed the subject. Does he apologize for his lies? Does he apologize for his insinuations? No. He changes the subject.

You want to call me out for calling out a devil because he stands on your side of the aisles?
