Catholics are leading many people down the wrong path by focusing way too much on Mary, the Saints, and rituals. It's ALL ABOUT JESUS Jesus is the way to Heaven"

This is a good observation. Atheists and agnostics here on NL are evidence of this, they had at one time or the other been members of the RCC and those who were not are sympathisers and believers of their heretical teachings and dogmas on church traditions. Even Muslims have the wrong notion of the nature of God due to RCC's teachings on Mary being the spouse of Holy Spirit and the mother of God.

They assembled it,officially.They chose which books were to go in and which ones were to be left out.So it is not out of place to make them the creator of that book.

It matters nothing to me if the post man was a Roman Galilean;
more to the point is what was written, not what the Roman or Galilean thinks about it.

The catholics laid down the foundation of the christian doctrine,and that is what is still the base for all denominations today,whether you guys like it or not.You can deviate and reinterprete the gospels all you want,but the fundermentals of the doctrine still come from them.Besides,none of the other denominations are any better than the catholics in whatever criteria you want to judge.
May i remind you that they are still your brothers in christ?Lest you folks have forgotten.

I'm not treating Catholics any less as believers in the Christian faith. And no - you're not quite correct to assume that non-Catholics are 'reinterpreting' the Gospels - which again is strong self-indication that Catholic doctrines are not applauded by non-Catholics. Besides, sir, many Catholic doctrines are of recent recognition - they did not arise from Biblical teaching.

Jagunlabi you're so right! The catholics laid the foundation of christian faith and doctrine.

Like the holy trinity?A lot of non-catholic christians do not mind accepting that part of the doctrine,even if it does not arise from the biblical teachings.
What about going to worship on sundays?Was that part of the biblical teaching?The easter holidays that you guys still adhere to today?Christmas day?

Christian faith and doctrine preceded Catholicism, not the other way round.
Jingoism does not settle a point. wink

The Ethiopian Church? The Egyptian Coptic church? The Armenian church?

Lol, you assume that every Christian denomination today is a clone of Catholicism - why then are they averse to Catholicism in the first place? I think you assume things far too much, jagunlabi. But that's alright - it's your call. wink

didn't the catholic church try to eliminate any and every competition? Their dogma just had a wider appeal and well they had some bad ass knights.

If not for the Romans(Catholics) you wouldn't have know the present version of Christianity that you know today, Christianity exploded ONLY after it became the main religion of the roman empire. Without the Catholics there wouldn't have been any bible. There was no bible until over 300 years after the supposed death of Jesus when the catholic bishops voted and decided to choose what was the word of god and what was not the word of god from the so many writings that were available to be included in the canon. Infact the catholic bishops gave the names or tittle to the gospels and epistles. The gospels were written without tittles and who ever wrote the gospel didn't say who he was. The catholic bishops decided to name them as gospel according to John, Matthew etc. The bible itself as a book is a catholic invention.

@ Poster just obey God's laws and commandments as best as you can and stop blabbing before you tongue takes you to hell. It is quite obvious you are jobless undecided

Or better still go to the wilderness and fast at least you'll be useful to the world in that way.

The roman,armenian ,ethiopian and coptic churches pretty much have identical doctrines and rituals. It's quite far from the route taken by pentecostals today.

The bible as we know today it today was put together through the votes of the catholic bishops about 300 years after the death of Jesus. The bible as we know it was put together by the catholic bishops and without them and what they did we would have no bible, They also choose the names to give to the gospels(apostolic traditions). Go study a little history.

If anyone is still looking for the evidence of what the Vatican has produced you need not to look any further than to the posts of pagans, agnostics, atheists and their sympathisers on this thread who have fallen prey to the indoctrination and propaganda of the Vatican. Read Romans 1:18-32 for the consequences of your decisions.
