Catholics are not idolators or pagans- if they are so then so also was Moses!

Does not matter what Church one attends fro those that seek God, god reveals God to them period and not for others to argue over
 
We don't worship the virgin Mary, we're honoring her status as the mother of God. You typed in your post with the assumption that the virgin Mary is still a human being, when in fact she is in the second and final stage of her existence. She is now the queen of Heaven and Earth.

Do you really know who IS called that? "Ishtar, who was now worshipped as the "Mother of God and Queen of Heaven..."
 
If God who is King existed from the beginning and Mary who was a human is now made queen that would mean she had to have married God when she went to heaven. Thats perverse!
 
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.


9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
 
It doesn't matter if you are Catholic, protestant of worship the flying spaghetti monseter. There is always someone saying something negative about another's doctine. Catholicism isn't the one always on the chopping block. Usually denominations take turns being chastised. Tomorrow you may wake up and log on and see that there are threads saying Baptists are of the devil.
Well, based on personal experience, I have yet to see a non-Catholic Christian challenge another's non-Catholic Christian's beliefs. So far, all the criticism is directed toward the Catholic church and only the Catholic church. Please direct my attention to a thread or website if I'm wrong.

One scripture, and only one, eliminates a doctrine of purgatory.
Ecclesiastes 11:3; ...........................if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
Please make known your interpretation of this bible verse in regards to Purgatory.


Firstly, she is not "the mother of God",

Heresy...


and nowhere do you find biblical support for calling her " the queen of Heaven and Earth" without distorting scripture.


:rolleyes: Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven :rolleyes:


When people die they don't go to heaven or hell. That will come after judgement day. If you went directly to your reward/punishment, that would pretty much eliminate any need for a judgement day, wouldn't it?
I won't bother to quote these bible verses. Please check them out yourself.
Acts of the apostles 7:54-59
Genesis 5:24
2nd Kings 2:11

Please understand that much of catholic doctrine DIRECTLY contradicts the Bible.
That's funny, considering how I used biblical evidence to back myself up.

Although terribly young you seem fairly well-versed in the doctrines.
Thank you sir. I must ask: why would my age group mean anything?

I take it you are familiar with the historical, satanic, practice of indulgences? Can you not see how evil it is to tell people that if they give MONEY to the catholic church that this will lessen their loved ones time in purgatory? You can't understand how utterly offensive this is to God who bought you with the blood of Christ? Are you aware that indulgences are practiced TODAY under the guise of mass cards? Please don't have a knee-jerk defense, but rather consider if what I'm saying has validity.
Please link me to various sources which prove your claims.


Read this to get a better understanding for what happens after death:
Rich man and Lazarus in Hades: Luke 16:19-31: Neo-Sadduceeian Knockout Punch!
Thank you for sharing that link. I certainly will study it.

Pope said that on fox
Thanks. ;)


This is the official catholic view of Mary. CAUTION, to those of us who have faith in Jesus ALONE this is quite disturbing, but I hope it ends debate about how twisted and satanic this cult really is: THEY REALLY BELIEVE MARY IS A CO-REDEEMER FOR US!!

Mary as co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix, Advocatrix
Seriously? What are you going to say next?

Honoring the virgin Mary, God's most holy mother, is certainly not a cult practice.

A understand you are upset and disappointed! Your concern, as any human being, is being accountable BEFORE GOD.
Please understand that you yourself could be wrong.

If God who is King existed from the beginning and Mary who was a human is now made queen that would mean she had to have married God when she went to heaven. That's perverse!
....... :mad: Have you lost your marbles?

gosh taylor g what bible does it call her queen of heaven you must have made your own bible
Please don't resort to insults to get your point across.

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Are you saying that I should be accursed? What are you going to do, :p stone me?

man asks catholic:

"why do you worship idols in the catholic church?"

catholic answers:

"we dont, we venerate icons."

judge asks man:

"why did you kill that person?"

man answers:

"I didnt, I helped them go to sleep"

judge replies:

"in that case you are free to go!"

Your insult was worse than mine. :p

So you sought out revenge and thought you'd insult back? C'mon man..I wasn't even insulting you, that's my mode of thinking; no one just walks into royalty they have to either be born into it or marry in.
My mode of thinking in that respect does no harm, believing in Mary is the Queen of Heaven, some man made religious idealism can.

EDIT: You got in before me, your already forgiven :)

I have to respectfully say, I am well studied in the Scripture first and foremost, but also well studied in most of the religions in the world, the Catholic Church is Mystery Babylon spoken of in Rev 17.

Revelation 18:4, "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Come out of her, My people, so that you do not partake in her sins, and so that you do not receive of her plagues."

1 Yahchanan (John) 2:18, "Little children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Anti- Messiah will come, even now there are many Anti-Messiahs; by this we know that this is the last hour."

Revelation 13:18, "Here is wisdom: Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man. And his number is 666."

Daniyl 8:11-13, "Yes, he magnified himself as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down. And a host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and succeeded. Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said to the one that spoke: How long will be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the setting up of The Abomination of Desolation (Lord of Heaven), and the surrender of the sanctuary, and the host to be trampled underfoot?

as high as the Prince of the host that means as high as Yahshua this man calles himself. = Vicarius Filii Del

To be fair, I am an equal opportunity offender; I am against all the churches who follow Mystery Babylon.

Hey taylor just real quick on your verses showing we go to heaven and hell right away, you take them out of context. So first with the Gen. section about enoch, it doesn't say he went to heaven. Him walking with God means he lived a Godly life. The same is said like 2 or 3 verses prior and is not talking at all about heaven, rather a about enoch and how he lived. It doesn't say where he took him.

With the whirlwind taking to heaven, remember heaven can also be the sky so this person could have also simply been flung into the sky by a storm. Also he is mentioned later in the bible being still on earth which supports this.

Finally with the Acts, he wasn't dead when he saw this stuff. If the person who stated we don't go to heaven/hell right away believes what I think he does, this vision still fits because the person would have no concious for a while and the first thing they'd see is the kingdom after they awake from their sleep.


I'm not saying if this person is right or not, simply saying you are taking these sections WAY out of context, and implying what you think is right into them, not taking them for what they say. Also you said you use a lot of the bible to support what you do, but if I tried hard enough I could make Satan seem like a good guy and use scripture to show it. The problem isn't can we use scripture to prove what we believe rather is there any scripture to disprove it as well as some that show it. If there are any that disprove what you believe, then you are in the wrong. Repeated prayers, prayers to the dead, having the pope sit on a thrown of Godliness, and things such as that are against scripture.

I do understand how it sounds to hear "you are wrong!" but in all honesty you are. Whoever posted the Rev. 17:9 verse about the city of 7 hills nailed it. Catholicism originated in Rome, and Rome is the city of 7 hills, which is where the harlot is.

Deuteronomy 18:10-11, "Let there not be found among you one who sacrifices his son or his daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, Casts spells, or who consults familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer or who consults the dead."

:confused: We don't sacrifice our own sons and daughters, practice witchcraft, sorcery, or consult the dead when we're praying the Rosary, the Our father and the creeds.

Do your homework son. What we believe in is biblical.
