Wow...you are so ignorant? Catholics hardly read the bible so they barely know what Christianity is all about.

The word bishop means overseer and it is not a Catholic thing. It is biblical. Unfortunately, Catholics decided to make bishops outside biblical criteria.

1 Timothy 3
King James Version
3 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

I'm a Catholic but once in a while I get to attend pentecostal churches when invited by colleagues though. So I went to this very well known pentecostal church. I found out the following:

(1) They've now modelled their church into several services just as it is done in the Catholic Church unlike before when they go to church by 7am and return by 2pm

(2) They have the pictures of their daddy GO inside the church just like the Catholics use those of Jesus

(3)They also had ornaments like holy oil just like in the Catholic church

(4) They have communion service just like in the Catholic church. I took their wine and communion though grin grin

It seems to me like the essence of the pentecostalism is now been defeated because the pentecostal churches we knew when growing up never had these aspects that resembled the Catholic Church practices. To add to it some pentecostal churches now ordain bishops too which were never existent to them them except to the orthodox churches.

Just see penticostal churches like crypto which is not regulated. Anything goes

You have not said anything but the usual copy and paste answer. Quote a verse where Jesus told you to pray to Mary as an intercessor.


] revelation 8: 3 and 4 and another Angel came and stood on the altar with a golden censer and he was giving much incene to mingle with all the prayers of the saints upon the golden altar before the throne and the smoke of the insane rose together from the hands of the angel with the prayers of the saints to God, who are the saints praying for? they are saved already we believe in this part of the scriptures that God hears the prayer of a saint

Your 1st statement is just so off the mark,you do realise that the majority of folks could not even read for the 1st 1000 years of Christianity so your statement holds no water. In fact, the catholic church lives the scriptures, you should attend a catholic mass if you haven't to see the scriptures lived out in practice. Nonetheless catholics read scriptures with church guidance.

With regard to the bishops, exactly how has the catholic church ordained bishops outside biblical criteria?

I guess you only believe dead people are saints?

Stop quoting the Bible out of context.

Living Christians are saints.


Romans 1:7 "to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."


Romans 8:27 "and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."



I am a saint and God answers my prayer. Stop praying to dead people.

Idolater baal worshipper disguised as a christian.

The symbolism of the Denial of Christ by Peter comes to mind.

Peter being ordained by Christ Himself was warned by Christ that the devil will use him against the brethren.

The symbolism of the denial is testimony of the 3 false churches that will arise before Christ returns.

The cockcrow is symbolic as in the spiritual realm , the chicken is sacrificed before the devil is summoned. This is because the chicken announces the arrival and departure of Satan.

You would be familiar with the now common joke of why the chicken crossed the road to which the answer is : to get to the other side.

That other side is the spiritual realm and that now familiar joke was once a codex used by occult initiates to identify themselves in public and a pass code when entering their lodges.


So when Peter denied Christ , the rooster crowed announcing the presence of the devil.

At the last and final third denial, Peter and Christ eyes locked.


This is symbolic that there will be three false churches and when the final arises , Christ shall return.

The Catholic idolatry religion masquerading as the Church of Christ is the first false church Christ warned Peter and Christians about. The Catholic church was universal.

The second is the national orthodox churches like the Anglican, Presbyterian church, Lutheran, Methodist and the Afro Spiritual churches.

The last and final false church is the Judeo-Masonic American Evangelical false church to which majority of all modern Protestant churches have become corrupted by.

Your catholic church is like the original sinner in the bible. It corrupted the gospel and made man and idolatry worship a focus of the christian faith. The man worship being the satanic papal creed falsely claiming to be descended from Apostle Peter. The pagan worship in the form of the ancient and wide spread fertility goddess as represented by the Madonna is a central theme in your pagan religion.

Can you explain why you bow and pray before an image of the Madonna , worship at the feet of the Pope and ignore Christ totally only to celebrate His death?

The catholic church is pagan and also a death cult that mocks the murder of Christ since the crucifix hangs in your pagan shrine as a mockery to a risen and resurrected Christ.


Heathen Pagan idol worshipper claiming Christian.

The Catholic church is one of the richest institutions in the world .

They didn't become so rich from heavenly manner falling from the sky but from centuries of exerting a Church tax on the peasantry.

The Roman Catholic church also acquired immense riches from pillaging expeditions such as that of Spanish and Portogese explorers of the new world.

The catholic church is equally as corrupt as modern day pentecostal false church.
