Proof that Catholics go against the word of God?

Question

This information is not of my own but from a man who was once a die hard priest and converted to Christianity because he read the bible on his own.
His name was Anthony Pezzotta look him up on Google.

First the ten commandments of the Catholics are different than that of the bible

Catholics: 1) You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve

2) You shall not take the name of your Lord in vain

3) Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy

4) Honor you mother and father

5) Thou shall not kill

6) You shall not commit adultery

7) You shall not steal

8) You shall not bear false witness

9) You shall not covet you neighbor’s wife

10) You shall not covet you neighbor’s goods

The Bible: exodus 20 verse 3-17

1) You shall have no gods except me

2) YOU SHALL NOT MAKE YOURSELF AN IDOL (GRAVEN STONE IMAGE) IN THE FORM OF ANYTHING IN HEAVEN ABOVE.

3) You shall not utter the name of Yahweh your God to misuse it
4) Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy
5) Honor you father and mother
6) You shall not kill
7) You shall not commit adultery
8) YOU SHALL NOT STEAL
9) You shall not bear false witness
10) YOU SHALL NOT COVET

The Catholic Church changed the commandments in order to suite their traditions and teachings. They make idols of Jesus and scripture specifically says not to.

Catholics say that Mary is the mother of God. However, in scripture never once did they refer to her as mother of God but mother of Jesus. (Matthew 1:18; 2:11, chapter 13-14-20-21; Chaperter12: 46-47; Mark 3: 31-32, Luke 2: 34; 8:19-20; John ch.2:1; Chapter 3, 12, 6:42; 19:26.)

The phrase mother of God states that Mary is the mother of Jesus-as-God both evangelics and official doctrine of the Catholic Church teach that this is not true.

Is it right to pray to Mary?

Mary is a human being and a believer, like all departed believers her spirit is with the Lord, Mary is not a goddess and there is nothing justifying praying to her, in the scripture there is absolutely no example of anyone praying to a dead saint. There’s a good reason for this; the human being who dies and goes to be with the Lord is still human. Mary is not omniscient omnipresent nor omnipotent. She cannot hear or answer a prayer; there are about 900 million people in the world who believe according to their churches teaching that Mary is the mother of God and that therefore they can pray to her. Prayer is one of the deepest forms of worship because prayer acknowledges the full power to whom the person we pray.

Consider one of the most popular Roman Catholic prayers in honor of Mary "Hail Holy Queen"

However the Bible says " God alone is Holy, Jesus alone reigns" Revelation 15:4; 17:14; 19:18

NO where in scripture is Mary called holy. And no where is she called queen. Roman Catholics refer to Mary as "Queen of Heaven” the only one called by that name in the bible is ashtoreth the wife of the Babylonian idol god Baal. Jeremiah 44: 17-19

Some say Mary is a mediator between us and God, however there is only one mediator between sinners and God and that is Jesus, 1Timothy 2:5, there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man is Christ Jesus (NIV)

This is only a portion of what Catholics teach and believe as you can see it goes against God's word. They change things in the bible and the bible speaks of this.

Revelations 22:18-19

I warn everyone who hears the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described

prophecy God will take away from him of that in the Holy City, which is described in this book.

I will post more bulletins relaying the catholic religion if you can prove me wrong THROUGH scripture, then please do so. No words are valid unless spoken by God.

Think about this. Catholics treat God more as a burden than as a wonderful counselor.

Answer 1

Too long. Yawn...

Answer 2

the first protestant was a catholic,this first protestant deleted several books from a canon decided and agreed on for 1500 years by the first christians. this first protester edited several books,shortening books and adding the word "alone" in his german translation of the bible even though he knew the origional text did not have the word alone in it. this man wanted to extract the books hebrews and even revelations and another(i forget the last one...) from the bible ontop of the several he had already deleted. there are 3 forms of the 10 commandments catholic,protestant and jewish all are worded differently but amount to the same teaching-thus this does not disprove the catholic list of commandments. all of the other things have basis in scripture i will offer some sites you may find interesting as it would take a long time to prove the ex priest wrong,it can be done using scripture but you have alot of details to contend with. just because the man was an ex priest does not mean catholicism is wrong, does every protestant minister turned catholic mean protestantism is wrong? i doubt you would accept that so don't even try use that as proof.

read the bible in context. the bible was protected and safeguarded by the roman catholic church, you would not even have a bible today without the catholic church. read the early church fathers read even secular history you will see that the church gave us the bible,all first christians were catholic meaning universal- as god wants us all to be one, protestants have divided the body of christ atleast 28000 times. again consider this......

protestants didn't come around until 1500 years after the catholic church, that would mean that jesus left the world a church lead by satan for 1500years, this church of satan would compile the bible-the inspired word of god so future generations could hear the word of god. jesus left the world without christianity for 1500 years. this church of satan still remains after 2000 years and has more followers over a billion,it is larger than any christian church. the bible tells us about evil and to be wary of satan right? so why would the church of satan give us the bible that would destroy it? please rethink what you are doing the roman catholic church is the church that jesus himself established and promised his church that it would be lead by the holy spirit and protected for all eternity "not even the gates of hell will prevail upon it".

"No words are valid unless spoken by God" true but the bible you read was edited by a german man,you are accepting his word above the church god gave us and whom gave us a bible. tell me where in the bible that it says all we need is the bible alone? or even faith alone? it isn't so lets not just rely on the bible then because "No words are valid unless spoken by God"

Answer 3

There are actually three versions of the Ten Commandments, Jewish, Catholic (and Lutheran), and Protestant taken from Exodus Chapter 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy Chapter 5:6-21.

With the new revelations of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in the early Catholic Church, a slightly different emphasis was placed on different commandments.

Then 1500 years later, the Protestant in objecting to certain Catholic practices, once again changed the emphasis of the Ten Commandments.

+ Jewish Ten Commandments (before 1000 BC)

1. I am the Lord your G-d who has taken you out of the land of Egypt.
2. You shall have no other gods but me.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your G-d in vain.
4. You shall remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy.
5. Honor you mother and father.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness.
10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

1. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me.

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

I am not Catholic, but may I suggest you read the whole Bible currently. (Even a Protestant one). While I do not agree with ALL Catholic doctrine, it is closer to the scriptural truth than many Protestant denominations would suspect presently here in the USA. Praying to Mary (to Mary who goes to her son King Jesus more precisely) being one of many.

Answer 5

The Bible is horribly faulty. look into that some extra. previous the Bible there is not any checklist for Jesus even modern. As for God? you are able to no longer prepare non-existence. you may even in spite of the shown fact that prepare a damaging. it extremely is in basic terms a undemanding delusion. case in point, one million isn't equivalent to 2. the load of evidence in basic terms skill that the guy making a declare for some thing to exist may be the single to offer evidence for it and not any opposite direction around.

Answer 6

what do u have with Catholics its all the same god doesn't exist so who cares they changed commands which are basically the same thing only in different order if u reed them correctly that's what they suggest and do u have any evidence that the Catholics have it right order
in any case religion was always shaped to the necessity of society and religion shaped the common man to its own needs

Answer 7

You *are* aware that we Catholics are your brothers and sisters in Christ, yes? And since you're fond of quoting the Bible, what exactly do you make of this Scripture:

1 John 3:14-15 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Your hatred of your Catholic brothers and sisters makes you no better than a murderer. I suggest you repent and ask God for forgiveness before you stand before Him on Judgment Day and hear Him tell you, "Depart, you worker of inquity, I never knew you."

Answer 8

Catholics were the first Christians so that must mean if anyone is closet to being right about god then it must be them.

Answer 9

proof that protestants are ignorant that catholics made christianity. if catholicism is bad then so is the rest of christianity, period, end of story. there is no use discussing it further.

Oh and, catholics made the bible. have fun reading it ya hypocrite.

Answer 10

Answer 11
