johnw74:continue Catholics worship Mary. They worship images and statues, which is idolatry. CCC 721 – “Mary, the all-holy ever-virgin Mother of God, is the masterwork of the mission of the Son and the Spirit in the fullness of time.” Pope Pius IX in 1854 “Let all the children of the Catholic Church … Proceed to worship, invoke, and pray to the most blessed Virgin Mary, mother of God. ” The Salve Regina – “Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life our sweetness and our hope……Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us.“ Look at these words “Mary, the all-holy ever-virgin Mother of God. Hail Holy Queen!” The Catholic Church worships Mary more than Jesus. Mary was a sinner just like it says in Ecclesiastes 7:20 and Romans 3:23. She needed a Savior. Go to Google. Look up Mary Worship. You are going to see people bowing down and kissing statues and paintings of Mary. You cannot convince me in any way that those images are not worship. Blasphemy! Bowing down is a form of worship. Praying to someone is a form of worship. It doesn’t matter how you try to justify it this is clear idolatry. Pope Pius IX in 1854 said, “proceed to worship Mary.” How can you deny that? The Roman Catholic Church is telling you to do everything the Bible tells you not to do. If you’re facing the position of an object and you are bowing down to it, kissing it, praying to it, blessing it, that is idolatry! It doesn’t matter if it is a Bible that is idolatry plain and simple. Mary is not to be worshiped. A woman said to “Jesus blessed is the womb that bore you.” Jesus could have said anything to honor Mary when she said those things, but what did He say? In Luke 11:28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” No disciple worshiped Mary. No one! This is one of many false Catholic doctrines. Also, Mary didn’t die a virgin as seen in Matthew 13:55-56. 6. Exodus 20:3-5 You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me. 7 . Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols. |

The fallacy is your silly argument that says "since the CC has abusers that means it comes from satan....

johnw74:Numbers 21. 7-9 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the LORD and against you. Pray that the LORD will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. 8 The LORD said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived. "All generations shall call me blessed" |

Babacele:all u idol lovers can do is post the same thing over and over again i'm still waiting for you to show how those verses are about mary, oh duh one ![]() and if God said to do that then do it and if God said not to make images of people etc then do it u God hating rc's apart from hating Him, of course don't believe His word but u will use His words however, where it suits u oh hypocrites Mat_23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Mat_23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. |

johnw74:I have seen you playing dumb before, I know it very well now. Atleast i know you are dumb on purpose. You said : with the rcc being rife with priests comitting sexual assault on children it's clear that their god-their originator of church doctrine which goes against God's word, is satan. I maintain that the argument you made above is fallacious. |

johnw74:Praying to the saints Pope John Paul II clearly prays to Mary. “Together we lift our confident and sorrowful petition to you.” “Hear the cry of the pain of victims of war and so many forms of violence that bloody the Earth.” “Clear away the darkness of sorrow and worry, of hate and vengeance.” “Open up our minds and hearts to faith and forgiveness!” CCC 2679 – “Mary is the perfect Orans (pray-er), a figure of the Church. When we pray to her, we are adhering with her to the plan of the Father, who sends his Son to save all men. Like the beloved disciple we welcome Jesus’ mother into our homes, for she has become the mother of all the living. We can pray with and to her. The prayer of the Church is sustained by the prayer of Mary and united with it in hope.” “Aschandius, my father, dearly beloved of my heart, with my sweet mother and my brethren, remember your Pectorius in the peace of the Fish [Christ]” (Epitaph of Pectorius [A.D. 375]). Many Catholics say, “we don’t pray to Mary and other dead saints we ask them to pray for us,” but I talked to Catholics who said they pray to Mary. The original stance of the Catholic church was to pray to Mary. Pope John Paul II is clearly praying to Mary. How can you read what he said above and say otherwise? This is blasphemy. It is idolatry to pray to dead saints or to ask them to pray for you. It is unbiblical and it is sinful. We are to only pray to God. Nowhere does it say to pray to dead people. In fact, talking to dead people is always associated with witchcraft in Scripture. 5. Revelation 22:8-9 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” |

how can rc's believe God's word when they hate God of course they cannot, and don't: (Exo 20:4) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: (Exo 20:5) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; but like the false jehovahs witnesses and other sects, they pick and choose Bible scriptures to use anyway, although they don't believe God's word u r very hypocritical: Mar_7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Mat_24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. |

johnw74:Catholicism teaches salvation by faith and works. Canon 9 – “If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; let him be damned.” CCC 846 – “Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation.“ CCC 2068 – “The Council of Trent teaches that the Ten Commandments are obligatory for Christians and that the justified man is still bound to keep them. All men may attain salvation through faith, Baptism and the observance of the Commandments.“ CCC 2010 – “Moved by the Holy Spirit and by charity, we can then merit for ourselves and for others the graces needed for our sanctification, for the increase of grace and charity, and for the attainment of eternal life.” Canon 9 says if you believe in salvation by faith alone, then you are damned. Blasphemy! The core of Christianity is salvation by faith in Christ alone. When it stops being faith in Christ alone it is no longer Christianity. It is a false religion. The Catholic Church teaches that you have to hold on to the Ten Commandments. Are you obeying everything perfectly? If you are trying to maintain your relationship with God by faith and works Galatians 3:10 says you will be cursed. The reason is that you are not obeying everything. Faith is a gift of God. It is all by His grace. God desires perfection and that is why we must trust in the perfect merit of Jesus Christ. CCC 2010 says that “we can merit for ourselves and for others the graces needed for our salvation.” This is a direct contradiction to the Bible. This is not something we can overlook. Open your eyes! Romans 11:6 says, “it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.” When you try to maintain your relationship with God by works you are not trusting in Jesus Christ alone. Romans 3:28 teaches us salvation is by faith apart from works. This is a complete contradiction to the Catechism. With a plethora of faith alone verses that contradict the catechism most Catholics are going to go to one verse James 2:17, “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” They say, “you see we need faith and works.” No! We have to read it in context to find out what is James 2 talking about. It is talking about a false faith before man. It is examining a false faith vs a genuine faith. It is not saying we need faith and works for salvation. James 2:14 says, “What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works?” (Can that faith save him?) What faith is it talking about? A false faith! Genuine faith results in works. Salvation is a supernatural work of God where God changes a man and God works in the man to produce fruit. 2 Corinthians 5:17 teaches us that faith in Christ alone results in being a new creation. You don’t need to maintain and work for your salvation. You were bought with the blood of Christ. Colossians 2:14 says, “he canceled our debt.” We have no more debt to pay. It’s cancelled! It’s all of grace. We don’t obey because it saves us and it keeps us in a right standing with God. We obey because we are saved by Christ alone. We were made new by the power of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is continually working in us to conform us into the image of Christ. A changed life is evidence of faith in Christ alone. If you seek salvation by faith and obeying the commandments you are cursed like Galatians 3 says. Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” Notice that in Matthew 7:22 Many said Lord look at all the good things I did, but the Lord said, “depart from me I never knew you.” Not once did they say Jesus Christ alone is my only claim to Heaven. My works are filthy rags. God desires perfection. Jesus Christ is our perfection. Do you agree with CCC 2068 that salvation is by faith, baptism, and works? Is salvation by faith in Christ alone apart from works? Yes or no? If you say no, then you are in danger of Hell. 2. Ephesians 2:7-10 to demonstrate in the coming ages the surpassing wealth of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so that no one can boast. For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them. 3. Acts 16:30-31 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 4. Romans 4:4-5 Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation. But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness. |
