Abraham believed God-Abraham believed God in righteousness-the written Word of God was laid upon the heart of Abraham, because Abraham believed God-Abraham received the promise, because Abraham believed the invisible God, The book was written in the heart of Abraham. And Abraham knew God.
Moses also believed God-Moses was given the 10 commandment's because of the hardening of the people's hearts.
Babacele:
what book did Abraham,the father of faith read, before he received the promise of God? Absolutely none. Has that God changed? not at all.
Did Moses read any scriptures before God chose him too?

Babacele:
it was Deuteronomy 7:1-2 and other verses where Humans murdered in the name of God.



-
Deuteronomy, chapter 7
1: "When the LORD your God
brings you into the land which
you are entering to take
possession of it, and clears away
many nations before you, the
Hittites, the Gir'gashites, the
Amorites, the Canaanites, the
Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the
Jeb'usites, seven nations greater
and mightier than yourselves,
2: and when the LORD your God
gives them over to you, and you
defeat them; then you must utterly
destroy them; you shall make no
covenant with them, and show no
mercy to them.
u baba don't believe the Bible,
but u quote from it,

and u falsely accused:

Babacele:
what a fanatical contraction!

The Catholic priest of today were the Pharisees back then-both claiming they were ordain by God.
You are mistaken there are no errors found in the Word of God-God doesn't make mistakes, if the Catholic Church didn't change the scriptures twisting the Words around, in the first place-there wouldn't be any mistakes found.
Thank God He had Men and Women-who were willing to risk there life's for God's sake.
Men of God-stood fern, risking their own lives, hiding away from the Catholic Church, men of God had rewritten the scriptures, the true meanings of the Hebrew and the Greek languages, so we the people in every nation, will know all truth, God Himself exist.
Babacele:
The Catholic doctrine of Trinity is the foundation of Christianity: you tamper with that, you destroy Christianity.


Don't be fanatical. In the Bible, God spoke and men spoke. In men's claims were errors ,biases and misrepresentations especially in the Old testament hence the need for the word of God to come in flesh in Jesus. God does not contradict Himself but men do or else how do you explain " an eye for an eye" and Christ doctrine of " turning the other cheek", and many Phariseessical practices claiming God ordained them?

That reminds me of this:



It seems rc's cannot stop lying and false accusing, taking after their god:

Joh_8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
now all you need to do is show clearly that i ask lying have.

I repeat tyndale was killed in anglican england under the reign of king henry founder of anglicanism.

Feel free to prove me wrong.

Re: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab:
It really doesn't matter which country Tyndale was murdered-he was murdered by the Roman Catholic Church.
Tyndale was a great man" the Roman Catholic Church in England had forbidden the bible to be translated into the common tongue, the Church was adamant about this and did everything in its power to enforce this rule.

There is no question about it, but that the reason was simply that the bible in the hands of the common people will reveal how totally corrupt the Roman Church had become.
The Church did not want the people to know this, one cleric with whom Tyndale spoke about translating the scriptures raged;" The Roman Catholic Church said: We are better to be without God's law, then the Pope's.
Tyndale saw the absolute for reform in England, but he saw to that no reform could possibly came about without the bible being the standard of truth and life.
And undoubtedly persuaded by Luther's doctrine of the priesthood of all believers, he understood that the bible had to be in the hands of every believer in a language which they understood.
{Uben" Tyndale had done this for you too, he died so you to can have your dusty old bible sitting around home}
All of this is obvious, What is so totally amazing is that Tyndale's convictions were so strong that he determined to devote his life to accomplish that goal, and he determined to devote his life to that goal in spite of the fact that it would mean exile, poverty, suffering,
and finely a Martyr's death, it was clear for Tyndale from the outset that he would eventually be killed for what he determined to do; he went ahead with the work anyway.

{We can see God the Father in Heaven was looking after Tyndale-the bible was rewritten into all languages before he died-but we need to ask' who was looking after the Roman Catholic's at that time?}
Ubenedictus:
now all you need to do is show clearly that i ask lying have.

Re: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab:
Well us, non Catholic's going to our Room and praying to the Father in Heaven-is what the invisible God tells us to do.{Matthew 6:6}
He didn't mentioned anything about praying to the invisible Mary-nor praying through the rosaries-nor bowing down to status. {Deuteronomy 4:15-17, 1 Corinthians 10}
Nor had He told us, to worship the Pope, and call him father. {Matthew 23:9}
There is only one Heavenly Father-and there's no other God, besides Him. {Isaiah 45:5}
{Mark 7:6-9} He answered and said unto them, well did Isaiah prophesy of you Hypocrites, as it is written.
'This people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me, and in vain they worship Me, teachings as doctrines the commandments of men.
For laying aside the commandments of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washers of pitches and cups, and many other such things you do.
He said: to them' All to well, you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition..
Does this really sound like Jesus was Catholic? I don't think so, Catholic's are the modern day Pharisees's-that follow after their own tradition.
The Pope re-percents Jesus Christ himself, and therefore the Catholic's believed the Pope is the loving father, believing Christ is already here, so praying to Mary and the saints will bring them closer to their heavenly realm.
italo:
You don't want to know why non-Catholics kneel and bow to their beds? Is bowing to a bed not idolatry?

Are you sure the Bible condemns repetitive prayers of Catholics?

Rev 4:8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:

“‘Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord God Almighty,’

who was, and is, and is to come.”

These heavenly beings are obviously very Catholic then. They keep repeating the same prayer forever and ever.

Jesus is also Catholic. He prayed the the cup should pass over him using the same thing THREE times.

The Bible condemns all of us, right?

Jesus said; My sheep follow Me" My sheep know My voice-the blind can only walk-until they fall of the edge.
The blind don't see-what the blind don't know, confused, and tormented-guessing through life, not knowing a simple direction, these Catholic's can't seem to get it right-which of us is returning their silly questions.

I believe we should be asking questions such as these.
"Was Jesus baptised in the Catholic Church?
One should ask was Mary baptised in the Catholic Church-how about Peter-were they Baptised as a child in the Catholic Church, If not? Then why does the Catholic Church do, what they didn't do?

rcc say that Mary sits "on the right hand of the majesty on high"
that is no where said in the Holy Scriptures,
however the Bible shows that Jesus Christ sits "on the right hand of God"

Mat_22:44  The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

Mar_16:19  So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

Col_3:1  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Heb_1:3  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Heb_8:1  Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

Heb_10:12  But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Heb_12:2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

1Pe_3:22  Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Summary of Roman Catholic Teachings about Mary


Mary holds a very high position in the Roman Catholic Church, so much so that she is like a goddess. Even though Roman Catholics will not agree with the statement of goddess-like abilities, the fact remains that Mary is highly exalted.

According to Roman Catholicism, Mary is "the all-holy ever-virgin Mother of God" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, hereafter referred to as "CCC" 721), the "Queen over all things" (CCC 966), our "Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix" (CCC 969), who is "full of grace" (CCC 722), the "Mother of God and our mother" (CCC 2677), the "new Eve" (CCC 726), and the "seat of wisdom" (CCC 721). She had no original sin (CCC 508), and never committed sin (CCC 493). She is second only to her Son" (Vatican II, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, par. 66) and sits "on the right hand of the majesty on high" (Pope Pius X, Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum, 14). In fact, "no man goeth to Christ but by His Mother" (Pope Leo 13th, Octobri Mense). It was Mary who "crushed the poisonous head of the most cruel serpent and brought salvation to the world" (Pope Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus). It is she who "delivers our souls from death" (CCC 966), and "continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation" (CCC 969). "Mary, by her spiritual entering into the sacrifice of her divine son for men, made atonement for the sins of man," (Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma4, Ott, page 213). Therefore, we can "entrust all our cares and petitions to her" (CCC 2677), "give ourselves over to her now" (CCC 2677), "pray to her" (CCC 2679), and have devotion to her (CCC 971). She was "taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven" (CCC 974). When speaking of the Church, "we can find no better way to conclude than by looking to Mary," (CCC 972). In her, the church is holy (CCC 867). "Mary is the Church's model of faith and charity" (CCC 967). Finally, in paradise the church gathers "around Jesus and Mary" (CCC 1053).
The Bible says,

"Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to exceed what is written, in order that no one of you might become arrogant in behalf of one against the other." (1 Cor. 4:6).

Has the Roman Catholic Church exceeded the scope of scripture with its teaching about Mary? Absolutely, yes!

and how is mary ever a virgin when she had children after Jesus?

Mat 13:55  Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas

Rom 3:9  What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

Gal 3:22  But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

No-one is telling you anything-you have heard the truth about Christ, it's up to you now, it is your choice-keep on praying to Mary as you wish?
And I will keep on praying to Donald Duck and Micky Mouse-praying to Mary, Donald and Micky, will not make a difference, our lives will always, stay the same.

I am sorry not to accept you idea. I will still continuing praying to Jesus but I will stil continue to ask a Mary to pray for me.

This is a change-"A" Catholic finely admits the Mama is involved.
I say a bit of honestly doesn't go a stray, but I am expecting the bad news, when it comes-you may chance your mind-and deny the facts, your Mama, was involved..

Interesting? Did your Mama tell you this rubbish-Please explain, in scripture, where, Mary sits on the right hand of her son?
Now this NONSPIRITUAL rubbish is a "WOW WOW?
blackbriar:
Quoting Pope Pius IX in Ineffabilis Deus, Pius X reiterated that, "Jesus "sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high" (Hebrews i. b.). Mary sitteth at the right hand of her Son - a refuge so secure and a help so trusty against all dangers that we have nothing to fear or to despair of under her guidance, her patronage, her protection. (Pius IX. in Bull Ineffabilis).

Where did u get yours?
I quoted where I got it from, but apparently most rc's like to lie or don't read what is posted

According to Roman Catholicism: "Mary sits on the right hand of the majesty on high" (Pope Pius X, Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum, 14).
show me from the Bible where Mary sitteth at the right hand of her Son" on the Fathers throne

Heb_1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Are you kidding-"WOW" how Dumb, are you confused, about the scriptures-are you really expecting people to listen to this rubbish-everyone in their right mind would search the scriptures, then listen to this garbage-Mary was born into sin-she is a sinner-we all are.
You are mistaken {1 Peter 2:22} Jesus was found, with no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth.
blackbriar:
SIN is divided into two Original sin(sin of adam that condems all men born of a woman as sinners) and actual sin.
HAIL MARY FULL OF GRACE(THE GRACE FORM ORIGINAL SIN)......if mary had original sin that makes JESUS a sinner.

well u did get the encyclical from the right source as it was edited to show mary sits at the right hand of God. a simple google or visit to the vatican website shows the write phrase.
