The Arrogance Of Catholicism. by Splinz(m): 3:31pm On Mar 20, 2016
"A rule of faith, or a competent guide to heaven, must be able to instruct all the truths necessary for salvation. Now the Scriptures alone do not contain all the truths which a Christian is bound to believe, nor do they explicitly enjoin all the duties which he is obliged to practice. Not to mention other example, is not every Christian obliged to sanctify Sunday and abstain on that day from unnecessary servile work? Is not the observance of this law among the most promising of our sacred duties? But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify".------Cardinal Gibbons (20th century Roman Catholic theologian).

What a stunning admission about Saturday sanctification! While there are many Scriptural points to refute Gibbons erroneous assertions, it is obvious that the holy Bible to the Catholics, is a sort of reference book only when it suit their practices, as traditions supersede the Scriptures.

Here, Gibbons knowingly admit the Scriptural observance of Saturday (Sabbath) as a day of sanctification, but arrogantly dismissed it as "a day which we never sanctify".One is therefore force to ask these pertinent questions; 1.From whence did the Catholic church derive the authority or power to change laws and times sanctify by God? 2. Who commanded Sunday observance? 3. Is the servant now greater than his master?

For me, this Bible portion comes to mind, "For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men- the observance of Sunday (emphasis mine), and many other such things you do. And He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition".- MARK 7:8-9. Now here is the bombshell, "And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men", verse 7.

Has it ever occurred to you that all that dancing, singing, praising, rituals and worship could all be in vain? Yes, it could, and you know why. So then, isn't it important that as a supposed Christian, you ought to examine and "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good"? (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Remember, you stand a great risk of worshiping God in vain!

Finally, it is sheer foolishness for puny man to set aside his Creator commands in order to keep his, and then somehow expects the Supreme Being to concur.
