Don’tcha love am anti-catholic who has all the facts and all the answers!
Well Bub, you asked for it.
I have a very hard time relating to certain religious groups.
No! Really!? I’d’ve never guessed… It does help a great deal to know what you’re talking about. Unless of course that is asking too much of you and you cannot read and understand actual Catholic teaching without your pastor looking over your shoulder to insure that you don’t see something that conflicts with what you’ve been taught.
It is not my business how one defines and practices ones faith…rock on. I just don’t understand how a Catholic, American or not is able to maintain their REALITY while worshiping Satan.
Yeah right…Lemme see here. Why do I not worship Satan again. Oh yeah! It’s because I confess Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior and was (Oh no!
) taught to do that by my Catholic faith.
James 4:7 Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you.
If the Bible is the book Christianity is based on, then Catholics are definately NOT Christians, yet they believe that they are???
And you allege this with certainty based on what? Your personal and infallible interpretation of the Word of God? I can’t tell…
How can you be so historically ignorant of Christianity and still call yourself a believer? You have a Bible because my forefathers in the Catholic faith gave their lives to preserve and protect it and to copy it by hand so that it was available. You know what books are inspired canon of the Word of God from the Catholic councils of Carthage and Hippo in the 4th century that finally settled the issue of what is inspired scripture. The Council of Trent defended that when it was attacked by the “reformers”.
If people do not understand the message of Christ, that is ok, it can be complex to those who have never read the Bible. If you are a Catholic, and do not read your Bible, then you are not a Christian.
And this new gospel that is different from that of the New Testament is based upon just exactly what passage of scripture again? What’s that? I can hear you! Surely you have a definitive passage of scripture that clearly tells us all that unless a person reads the Bible they cannot be saved?
But Let’s go deeper into reality.
We might…if you had brought any with you…
If you DO read your bible, then you absolutely Cannot be a true Catholic. Why? Because the Catholic Religion performs many Rituals that are stated in the Bible by name as Sin, one specifically as an abomination; they are as follows:
Stop it! C’mon…I can’t type when I’m laughing this hard! That ain’t fair!
- Prayer to Mary, the Pope, Saints and anyone NOT named Jesus Christ
The Communion of Saints is right there in the Word of God.
- The Beloved crusifix (abomination)
Portrayed Christ as crucified before their eyes.
- Bingo (sorry, it’s funny, but a sin in the lord’s house)
I have yet to see a Catholic Church that held Bingo IN the church. But that won’t fit your propaganda will it? Hate it for you.
More importantly please show me a passage of scripture anywhere that condemns Bingo…or even gambling in general. You can’t because it’s simply not there…
Oh gee, I guess the plain sense of the New Testament doesn’t count then huh? Lessee? John 20:21-23, 1st John 1:9, and James 5:14-16 where it clearly says that confession of sins is supposed to be to elders (presbyters/priests. The evolution of the words) of the church and they have the authority and power to hear and either forgive or retain those sins. That’s what the Word of God says.
Call No Man Father
And you know what, obviously not all priests are gay, but before you allow a Catholic give ANY justification for a Gay Priest, remember the Bible calls Homosexuality a Sin (Actually, it is an abomination for man to lie with man. Not Mine, the Lords, do not judge me)
Just as sinful as heterosexuality…when abused. Do you sleep with any woman out of marriage? Do you lust? Just as bad as any Gay person. BTW… I don’t know one single gay priest. Not one.
So before we make our children sin any more by repeating the Chant known as the “Hail MARY” 20 times for her sins, maybe we as adults can try to explain to them that The only thing WE know for sure, is that people good or bad, fat or skinner, stupid or smart NEED “Something to hold on to”. Whether it’s feeling superficial about getting a tan, or being the Best “deacon” in a church you do not even understand, it really is simply a psychological FIX for most.
Nice rant…irrational…but rant nonetheless.
God love you!
