I think both are mislead I think the best thing to ever ask for is strength to get through hard times, but you cannot just rely on God to do it for you, though he can, it isn't what we are here for. We are blessed in our hardships.

You're money should be a sacrafice to tyhe church, not a demand for salvation, and though as humans we like to know it's goignt o be used correctly- it's not our sin if it isn't, we gave something up as a sacrafice, but this is not the only way to sacrafice as some churches try to make people believe. If money isn't a luxury item for you but a lifeline to feed your children, than a different sacrafice is just as great.

JClord, you seem much mor interested in judgement and being correct than God, shame on you, do not critizise what you do not know. Jesus condems those who claim that they see as you claim to be sure and all other to be wrong, because you are an instandt hypocryt. Calling yourself of a certain religion does not save you, believing that God chose you does not save you "God could take any one of these STONES and turn IT into a stone of abraham." Your name will not save you, your actions will.
And in case your ignorance outwayed your faith- your religion is a stem of Catholisim bud.
You are not above anyone, nor is your religion, your ideas are bias and harsh. The bible does not tell us what religion to have, stop judging espercially over petty stupid things, it's hard to believe you love Jesus more than your own opinions and judgements listening to the way you speak.

This was made a long time ago but I'm going to adress the issue that Catholics worship Marry.
Those who say such things obviously know nothing of catholisism and shouldn't speak as if they do. The only reason anyone claims that a Catholic worships Mary is because they are told by a person who also knows nothing of catholisim but claims to. It is a lie that Catholics worship Mary- ask any Catholic and they will assure you they don't. So why would we worship a person who we refuse to say we do? That's not true worship is it?
I'll give you an easier way to understand what the Mary thing is.
(I did not come up with this by the way, a few women that used to be protestant were explaining what they learned. They told how they were told since they were children that Catholics worshipped Mary and saints and were never told what the real meaning was)
So we're going to look at God as our king right now, we are the people of his land and we look to his knights for protection just as he does. When a king sends out a knight to serve for him and the knight goes out to do as he is told and succeeds, the king honors him. The rest of us in turn are expected to honor him or else we are being disrespectful to not only the knight but the king. There is no fault in honoring those who lived their lives as best they could under the word of God, they are to be looked up to and immitated. Mary is very similar to this, we must honor her above all other people, she is our ultimate mother and Jesus expects us to treat her with respect and honor just as he did. She is not worshiped in prayer, we send our prayers to her so that she may pray for us because she is completely pure and her prayers are pure. We oiften ask people we know to pray for a loved one who is suffering or things of that nature, and so if you claim that asking Jesus' own mother to do this for us is worship, all of your religions are guilty of worshiping people other than Christ.

And please understand that judging anyone, including those of another religion is a sin it is a pity that the branches of christianity today cannot lay off each other and look at their similarities instead of fighting over differences. We do not know everything, if we were meant to know it all Jesus would have told us, we must be confident that he will forgive any misunderstandings that any of us have because none of us are totally right. You must also be willing to admit that you are not supirior to another just because you think your religion is right and theirs is wrong, because you have no reason to believe so other than bias critisism.
