The Catholic church is not christian

[PiccolaLina25]

I wouldn't say that catholics are not christians, because they do belive in JESUS Christ.. but I agree that many rituals are not biblical they were taking over from the old pagan rituals that the romans had....catholicism was not born in a day it is a developement of many many years. I mean of course there is alot of idolatry also going on, everything can be worshiped as a saint or divine. What is not biblical is that Mary got a more powerfull reputation than Jesus. She is called the queen of heavens. We know from the bible that such things do not exist. But we as new born christians should not say that they are not christians! because they are! just the way their church is build and how the service is going on or the worship is different. The word catholic means not more not less than Universal! its a global church if you can say a universal church in other words. And we also have to understand that catholics many many years were not allowed to read the bible, till today the interpretation of the bible is only given to the priests or the pope. The catholics in europe till 1965 ( second vatican coucil) had to listen to the word of god in latin ( a dead language which nobody actually speaks only if you studied it) soo if the priest read from the bible, it was in latin, prayers were said in latin. This actually took the chance away for many to hear the word of God. Well soo before you say catholics are not christians just look a little on the history to know why soo many catholics just don't know what God wants, what is it like to be a christian. That is my point on it. Till today they are lead into false hopes and belives. They are only lost sheeps and like the word say: many perish from a lack of knowledge, and it's true.

Christianity is a tree with branches off it and catholicism is one of those branches

Anyone who questions he Catholic Church'es doctrines need only study thw works of Martin Luther (founder of the Lutheran Church, the 2nd largest denomination and an offshoot of the Catholic Church. Martin Luther referred to the Pope as The Anti Christ.

 

[carolineh]

any church that usurps the authority of the word of God and places traditions and human words as more important than the word of God cannot claim to be Christian because Jesus is the word of God..nothing is above Jesus the word of God and to place these things above the word of God and call itself christian is evil so anyone who follows this is following after evil whether they realise it or not...check out what the catholic church did to the bible believing Albigenses from a protestant point of view

the bible believing Albigenses from a protestant point of view

I have no clue which bible you're reading, because the Albigensians most certainly are not bible believing, protestant or not.

my spelling may be slightly off as it is a foreign word to me and I only heard about what happened to them on Worldview weekend...it is a very informed Christian site...they were bible believers and their name was besmurched by the Jesuits..it all culminated in a debate between one of their members and a catholic official and following the debate where the official's arguments for catholic doctrine over the word of God were debunked, he approached pope Pious the tenth I think and so began the persecution of the bible believing Albigensians

Catholics glorify the Pope, not God.

Roman Catholicism practices Sola Ecclesia.

"Exodus 20:1-17

1 And God spake all these words, saying,

FIRST COMMANDMENT
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

SECOND COMMANDMENT
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. "

The main thing I have against the catholics is that they have mulitiple idols. They have their 'saints'. And mary, to the catholics and some other religions, is almost more important to them then Jesus (Yeshua). We can only have one God. But when you must have your 'mary idol' then that is another god to you.

 

[chesser]

if you are in the catholic church, get out!
it is unbiblical and is based on mans traditions and superstitions. it is purely straight from hell

Lol, I'm not catholic, but...please be a troll, you have to be. If not, then A:learn what catholic means and B: read Matthew 7:1-6.

A: they don't worship idols b: do you Cary a cross around your neck or anything? C: I'm not catholic

Alright, lets put this simply.

It matters not which church you attend, it is your faith, and belief which decides whether you are christian or not.

Churches, It matters not which denomination. Looking for the faults in any one denomination is the same as trying to remove a speck of dust from someone else's eye while walking with a tree growing out of our own eye.

To sum my beliefs up.
The Church is meant for fellowship, not to control our faith, or our beliefs. but to spend time worshipping together. Each person has a different way of worshipping, hence the vast variety of churches out there today, as many worshippers, do not follow the catholic way of worship, or the lutheran way of worship.



Stop being prejudice, and start being accepting.

Chessor, If you are not a catholic then what makes you say that they dont have idols? As I had said they basically put mary above Jesus. That itself is an idol. They call others saints. Those are also Idols. The only Idol they should have is Jesus. The son of God, and God himself. Another issue is that they confess their sins to their priest. They should repent of their sins through Christ.

(Act 26:20 KJV) But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

I see, so all my catholic friends, don't know what Catholicism teaches, yet you do? Tell me more about how you discovered some secret catholic law that no non-Catholics besides you have ever heard.

 

[JcsDscpl]

It looks as though you are only speaking to argue chessor. So on that I will only pray for you. I send out Christ's love, and strongly advise looking into the 10 commandments and read the book of Corinthians, it is a beautiful one!

I disagree with you.

What matters is that we seek Yahvah God and that is through Yahshua the Messiah that will lead us in Spirit and Truth.

By the Holy Spirit i can not accept the way of the world.

I do not claim any denomination and simply say nominate Yahshua the Messiah to come into your heart and lead you home to Yahvah God.

Yahvah God is the same and what displeases him is written in the same Bible that we learn of Yahshua the Messiah so we are without excuse.

I do not believe the catholic church is worshiping Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah.

But i believe in ignorance the people who have been deceived by that religion believe they are..

It is not out of hate for the catholic church i speak but out of Love for Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah in Spirit and Truth.

The world will say that everyone is entitled to their own Faith that we must respect other faiths...

I disagree, what we respect is people's free will and force no one..

Share the truth but not out of hate, out of love for Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah.
