Catholic Heresy (for the record)

[dallasb78]

Did you actually just ask that?

Ephesians 3:12
In Him and through faith in Him [Christ] we may enter God's presence with boldness and confidence.

And here is what we DONT do:

Exodus 20:3
"You shall have no other gods before me.



Mother Mary at the wedding feast of Cana (John 2:1-12)
though JESUS protested it was not yet time for miracles
you successfully interceded with Him for a family's temporal need
please now intercede with your divine Son
for each person's temporal and spiritual needs.
Thank you Mother

This is praying to the mother of Jesus who was MORTAL FLESH and had to SURRENDER TO CHRIST FOR SALVATION> How do you suppose she can hear you much less usher in prayers to Christ. [the voice you hear is that of a demon called a familiar spirit]


The Lord has said the moment we die we are in an instant with him. She cant hear you!! Nor is she part of the TRINITY!!

RC is always working to be saved and that is why you are afraid to approach the thrown on your own.

You will get what you have asked for if you do not repent. Your works is as those who made to themselves a golden calf. Repent of your idoltary and be saved.


Christ and evil do not hang out together

Catholics do not worship Mary and do not hold her to be above God. Not sure what you are saying in regards to (John 2:1-12)
Catholics teach that Mary is saved by Christ and had to surrender to God. All those who are saved are alive including Mary. All can hears our prayers.

Catholics most certainly do not hold Mary to be a part of the Trinity. We believe in God the Father,God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Only these Three are God.

Salvation is by faith and works as explained by James. This is what the Church teaches.

[h=1]James 2:14-26New King James Version (NKJV)[/h][h=3]Faith Without Works Is Dead[/h]14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your[a] works, and I will show you my faith by my[b] works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?[c] 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[d] And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

Catholics ARE pagan, since many pray to Mary and ask her to answer prayer and intercede to Jesus for them. And those who pray to a statue, are committing idol worship and THAT IS a pagan practice. Mary does not hear your prayers, she cannot answer them, and she definitely does NOT intercede to Jesus. She is not to be prayed to, and she doesn't have supernatural power. Some catholics don't even believe that Jesus is the son of God. :/ So YES, catholicism IS a pagan religion.

I don't know of any Catholics praying to statues. I don't know any Catholic that doesn't believe Jesus is the son of God. You have some weird ideas there

 

[Jackson123]

We'll have to disagree on that. Do you have any evidence to back up your claim that we are only to pray to God?

Where in the bible teach to pray other then God?

pray Father Son Holy Spirit Question: "To whom are we to pray, the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit?"


Answer: All prayer should be directed to our triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Bible teaches that we can pray to one or all three, because all three are one. To the Father we pray with the psalmist, “Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray” (Psalm 5:2). To the Lord Jesus, we pray as to the Father because they are equal. Prayer to one member of the Trinity is prayer to all. Stephen, as he was being martyred, prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit” (Acts 7:59). We are also to pray in the name of Christ. Paul exhorted the Ephesian believers to always give “thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:20). Jesus assured His disciples that whatever they asked in His name—meaning in His will—would be granted (John 15:16; 16:23).


We are told to pray in the Spirit and in His power. The Spirit helps us to pray, even when we do not know how or what to ask for (Romans 8:26; Jude 20). Perhaps the best way to understand the role of the Trinity in prayer is that we pray to the Father, through (or in the name of) the Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit. All three are active participants in the believer’s prayer.


Equally important is whom we are not to pray to. Some non-Christian religions encourage their adherents to pray to a pantheon of gods, dead relatives, saints, and spirits. Roman Catholics are taught to pray to Mary and various saints. Such prayers are not scriptural and are, in fact, an insult to our heavenly Father. To understand why, we need only look at the nature of prayer. Prayer has several elements, and if we look at just two of them—praise and thanksgiving—we can see that prayer is, at its very core, worship. When we praise God, we are worshipping Him for His attributes and His work in our lives. When we offer prayers of thanksgiving, we are worshipping His goodness, mercy, and loving-kindness to us. Worship gives glory to God, the only One who deserves to be glorified. The problem with praying to anyone other than God is that He will not share His glory. In fact, praying to anyone or anything other than God is idolatry. “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols” (Isaiah 42:8).


Other elements of prayer such as repentance, confession, and petition are also forms of worship. We repent knowing that God is a forgiving and loving God and He has provided a means of forgiveness in the sacrifice of His Son on the cross. We confess our sins because we know “He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9) and we worship Him for it. We come to Him with our petitions and intercessions because we know He loves us and hears us, and we worship Him for His mercy and kindness in being willing to hear and answer. When we consider all this, it is easy to see that praying to someone other than our triune God is unthinkable because prayer is a form of worship, and worship is reserved for God and God alone. Whom are we to pray to? The answer is God. Praying to God, and God alone, is far more important than to which Person of the Trinity we address our prayers.

[blondieindahouse]

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me" refers to worshiping other gods or placing anything in your life before God. It has nothing to do with prayer. "Thou shalt not create any graven image" is related to the first commandment and refers to worshiping graven images. We do not worship graven images. We do use them, but not for worship.

You poor dear. You cant see the forest for the trees.

Whats "fairly obvious" is alot of people that HATE RC DOCTRINE because it is antichrist. We dont hate the catholic. So Kefa misspoke. Which is amusing in the least speaking against his fellow brothers and sisters.

 

[mailmandan]

What protestants must prove is all the division claiming to be led by the Holy Spirit

It is undeniably sad that there are so many denominations, but the Roman Catholic 30,000 Protestant denominations argument is an extreme exaggeration of the reality of the divisions within Protestantism. Most of the Protestant denominations were formed because of a non-essential doctrine, a side issue, on which Christians can agree to disagree. As an example, Pentecostalism separated from the other denominations based primarily on the issue of speaking in tongues. There is no infallible interpreter of Scripture. There is no infallible denomination or church. No denomination/church has absolutely perfect doctrine on every single issue because people are not infallible. The Roman Catholic church is a long way off from perfect doctrine with all of their dogmas! The key is this – all the essentials of the faith are abundantly clear in God’s Word. We do not need an infallible interpreter or 2,000 years of church tradition to determine that there is one God who exists in three Persons, that Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected from the dead, that Jesus is the one and only way of salvation, that salvation is received by grace through faith, not works and that there is an eternal heaven awaiting those who trust in Christ for salvation and an eternal hell for those who reject Him. The core truths that a person needs to know and understand are absolutely and abundantly clear in Scripture. The fact that there are many different denominations is not an argument against Sola Scriptura. Rather, it is evidence that fallible men fail to truly allowing God’s Word to fully shape their beliefs, practices, and traditions. The apparent unity of the Roman Catholic Church is illusory, as any informed Catholic would know. The unity is structural and organizational, but there are serious divisions at all levels, especially between the more liberal and conservative Catholics.

 

[mailmandan]

There are some protestants that fall into the same trap as the pharisees.

That statement is the epitome of irony. The leaders of the Roman Catholic church remind me of the Pharisees with their clothing and their man made traditions.

Consider the following verses:

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. John 3:59

and also

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. John 6:53

"Verily, verily" means the following words are meant to be taken at face value or literally. Believing in the Bible alone will not save you.

Believing in Jesus alone will save you (John 3:15,16,18; 6:40,47; 11:25,26), yet unbelievers reject Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation. Due to the fact that many of his disciples did not understand the symbolic nature of what Jesus was saying in John 6:50-58, some exclaimed, "This is a hard saying; who can hear it?" (John 6:60). Many that heard this saying said this was a hard saying, for they were trying to interpret it in a literal sense, which did not make any sense. In a literal sense it seems that Jesus was advocating cannibalism, which was forbidden under the law. The scriptures forbid drinking of blood (Leviticus 17:14; Deuteronomy 12:16,23; Acts 21:25).

Jesus is the Bread of Life. Just as bread nourishes our physical bodies, Jesus gives and sustains eternal life to all believers. "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst" (John 6:35). As He was accustomed, Jesus used figurative language to emphasize these great spiritual truths. Jesus explains the sense of the entire passage when He says, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." (John 6:63). *Roman Catholics miss this. The literal interpretation is absurd and revolting, leading to cannibalism and the drinking of blood contrary to the commandment of God. By faith we partake of Christ, and the benefits of His bodily sacrifice on the cross and the merits of His shed blood, receiving and enjoying eternal life. Eating and drinking is not with the mouth and the digestive organs of our bodies, but the reception of God’s grace by believing in Christ, as He makes abundantly clear by repeating the same truths both in metaphoric and plain language. Compare for example the following two verses:

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life" (v47).

"He who eats this bread will live forever" (v58).

"He who believes" in Christ is equivalent to "he who eats this bread" because the result is the same, eternal life. The parallel is even more striking between verses 40 and 54:

"Everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day" (v40).

"Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" (v54).

John 6 does not afford any support to the false Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation. On the contrary, it is an emphatic statement on the primacy of faith as the means by which we receive the grace of God. Jesus is the Bread of Life; we eat of Him and are satisfied when we believe in Him.

Bread represents the "staff of life." Sustenance. That which essential to sustain life. Just as bread or sustenance is necessary to maintain physical life, Jesus is all the sustenance necessary for spiritual life.

 

[Mec99]

In order for Mary to hear your prayer TO HER she has to have Omnipresent. To answer your prayers Mary has to have Omniscient.

Omnipresent and Omniscient are the attributes of God. Therefore what the Catholics are teaching is that Mary IS a God.

Since Mary is NOT God she does NOT have Omnipresent and Omniscient. Which means if Mary could hear prayers she can only hear one prayer at a time. Which means Mary will never hear your prayers to her!

You Catholics are wasting your time Praying to Mary because she cannot hear your prayers.

By teaching that Mary CAN hear and answer your prayers proves that you Catholics are Worshiping Mary as a God!

Like I said before. All you Catholics are doing is putting your soul in the Lake of Fire along with Satan!

Ill get my info from a Catholic that knows Catholicism not these myths you portray

 

[Mec99]

Exodus 20:3
[SUP]3 [/SUP] " You shall have no other gods before Me.

Exodus 20:23
[SUP]23 [/SUP] ' You shall not make other gods besides Me; gods of silver or gods of gold, you shall not make for yourselves.

We are to have NO other gods before us nor are we to Worship any other gods.

Mary IS a God in the Catholic Church! Look at all the Popes who HAVE bowed down to Statues of Mary, Worshiping them as their God!

Exodus 20:4-5
[SUP]4 [/SUP] "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
[SUP]5 [/SUP] you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me

Look at all the pictures of Pope John Paul II BOWING down to a Statue of Mary! This PROVES he WAS Worshiping Mary as his God!

Even Pope Francis BOWS down to a Statue of Mary which PROVES the Catholic Church today is a false Church that Worships Satan!
