Answers:
Keep Tradition: 2 Thess. 2:15, 2 Tim. 2:2, 1 Cor. 11:2
Let me be clear, the "Traditions of Men" are wrong
Mark 16:17: My friend you are mistaken, countless priests cast out demons as exorcists to this day. In fact, protestant ministers will tell you that if someone is possesed, they are sent to a Catholic Priest.
Tongues: They now spoke with the power to forgive sins.
Church: Not merely the House of God, in this sense the world is a Church. No, the Church is "the pillar of Truth" and it is One (Rom. 12:5, 1 Cor. 10:17, 12:13) A church is a building, the Church of the Bible is the word
ecclesia or congregation. The Church Jesus spoke of was a group of people inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Comment on "Catholic Bible"- The New American Standard Edition is accepted by many protestant denominations.

Let me talk about Catholic tradition...
Catholics worship Mary. The Bible says to worship God and God alone. Catholics believe in pergatory. The concept of pergatory isn't found in the Bible. Catholics believe in Co-redemptrix. Jesus was the only Savior, this is what the Bible tells us.
Matthew 15:3-7
"3 Jesus replied, "And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' [a] and 'Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.' [b] 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is 'devoted to God,' 6 they are not to 'honor their father or mother' with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:"
Here Jesus says breaking God's laws for tradition is WRONG. Mark 7:5-9, 13 also talks about this. But wait, if Catholics are so into tradition, why did they at one time BURN and OUTLAW the Bible???
How about the Catholic "Sin of Presumption"??
1John 5:13
"13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."
Wait, the Bible says that you may KNOW that you have eternal life? This is another Catholic tradition that has overridden God's Word.
The Catholic Bible is FALSE. I do not know of one instance where a protestant denomination uses it. The Holy Bible is COMPLETE. It says so. It did not need to be added to or taken away (Revelation 22:18-19).
I can go on, if you would like. The ultimate question I would have for you is: Are you being called to God, or the Catholic Church?

Why would any Catholic, who is a member of the one, true church which Jesus personally founded, who experiences Jesus Christ in the flesh, on a daily basis, who is heir to all God's blessings, and who enjoys the fullness of God's grace and truth in all things, worry about what others, who have been confused and deceived by false teachers, and who make things up according to their own flawed interpretation of scripture, think?

The Catholic church is a non-Christian cult that distorts the Word of God.
The Catholic church says Mary was sinless, but God's Word says all have sinned, including Mary. That shows the Catholic church is calling God a liar.
