As per the other thread last night, I’m throwing down the gauntlet.

The Challenge:

Give me ONE example of something the Catholic church teaches, that is AGAINST Scripture. Read that again. Carefully. A SINGLE teaching, by the Catholic Church, that is AGAINST, or in other words, ANTI - Biblical.

I believe there is none. That is partly why I believe that the Catholic Church is the one true apostolic church, founded on Christ, and protected for all times against being overwhealmed by Hell.

However, I am not yet confirmed or baptised.

If you really believe my soul is in danger, then show me just ONE area of teaching by the Catholic Church that flies in the face of Scripture, and I will immediately quit RCIA. I will pm someone here we can trust, Fathers number, so he can confirm I have quit RCIA.

I have a very open mind, and question everything. Even though I believe, I have not stopped questioning and dont believe I ever will as it’s not my nature. So show me.

Now, discussion.

The rules are, we are polite and charitable at all times. At NO point will name calling or insults be tolerated in this thread. Vearing too far off topic will be redirected back to the issue at hand. You’ll get a warning for being rude, beligerant, uncharitable, dishonest, insulting, persisting with a derailing issue, etc. 3 warnings and you disqualify yourself from taking part any further in this thread. The same rules apply to me. Humor is encouraged, but not sarcism.

Over to you guys …
 
I have not found one that is against the bible. I do not insist that all things be explicit in the bible though. There would have to be something very clear and in context for me to believe that something is to be avoided, or not done.
 
My problem with Catholic teaching is that, while it might not be against Scripture, some is not well supported by Scripture. To someone who accepts Tradition as a valid basis for doctrine that doesn’t present a problem.

While it might not be a big deal, I do think that the whole concept of canonizing Saints is wrong. The Church essentially judges that those canonized are in Heaven. They may or may not be right. However Paul does warn us not to judge anyone before the time as we don’t know hidden things of a person’s heart. A person can lead an exemplary life and still be rotten inside.
Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy. But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord. **Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God. **
(1 Corinthians 4:1-5 NASB)

You may want to start my ironing. I have to get a few shirts and a uniform done tonight.

Thanks Ag_not!
