That was in reply to the other fellow, but if you're talking about apocryphal books, they were never really scripturally important.

lol ,, its there i know, my actions are to have an open mind about it, but the thing is, it more than just that, as many comments about the bad stuff again, people can not say cathlics are not christians because of certion teaching based on there church fathers, thats not justified to me, just like saying baptists are not christian for reading a protestant bible, i carnt do that, can you ?? (you get my meaning,)

I get your drift, btw I bumped the thread anyways. My grandmother is Catholic, but you see it depends on what they believe. I do believe following the Roman Catholic is against the word, according to them you can still buy your way to heaven by making a heavy payment to the pope, still unbelievable but I cannot judge the heart.

People are saved when they accept Jesus Christ died for their sins. As said in Romans 10:9-10, "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." People of all faiths can be saved as long as they accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. All we have to do is pray for them that their eyes can be opened and they join a church that shares the full Bible. People that are Catholics its a generational thing, their family members were Catholic and do not know any other way to be.
Message to all "give people who are of the Catholic Faith a break"

No, No where in the Bible does it say that Mary is divine. If God wanted you to worship someone else, why not John the Baptist. God said no one was greater than him. Mary called Jesus Christ her savior. If she was divine why call Christ her savior. Bible says nothing about purgatory, or asking Mary and other saints to intercede for them. No man has power to forgive sins. Thou shall not make graven images. The catholic church have them everywhere. When disciples ask Christ how to pray. He said pray Our Father Who is in heaven, not St. Peter, or Mother Mary. Mary is blessed, God chose her to bring the savior into the world.

I must be wrong, I guess it changed, according to them you can receive "indulgences" through Twitter and such. How you can save your soul: In 140 characters or less

Hey bro we both agree on one thing, there is no true denomination, I think they all have corruption somewhere, but to those I don't know I cannot judge. But Catholicism is still wrong in many areas...

Here is my opinion.
Catholicism is too religious and some are way too indoctrinated by man
Orthodox needs to open the doors sometimes and see reality in modern times
Protestant are slowly making no sense with a lot of hard sensitive issues.
But not all people from each one are unbelievers. I believe there is Christian Catholics, Christian Orthodox, Christian Protestant. My objection isn't people but what they are taught. In no post in here have I declared Catholics condemned. I don't approve of what they teach. Same with church I'm going to, they do things I don't agree with and I'm looking for churches.
But I'm Protestant because the others make no sense to me.

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (Jn. 3:3).
Additionally, I totally reject that there is any other mediator than Jesus Christ (who is God the Son), or any mediator in addition to Jesus Christ, between God the Father and man. About that, God's Word says: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time" (1 Tim. 2:5-6).

catholics hold the same view. But there may be some confusion here over what you see as mediator.
What your suggesting is only jesus can here our prayers . I have revalation to prove that prayers can be passed on by saints.
Just like now i could say a prayer for you . So in that sense i am acting as a mediator
There is only one true Tabernacle is this truth:
[h=3]Hebrews 8[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
8 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; [SUP]2 [/SUP]a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Truth or not truth according to Scripture? I am not the one to decide whether you are of flesh or Spirit, God is the one that knows and God's Spirit testifies with each of our own Spirits whether we are God's or not. And I trust God if you are not his to be his, at God's perfect timing, not mine or any man's timing. All man flesh are Liars. God is not, and this is where my trust is at, The only place that I found safe and secure.
Thanks
