Question

God struck down aaron`s son the wicked priest and if ya`ll think he ain seein the catholic church`es wicked ness yuh lie.

Answer 1

I like your boldness. Not enough true believers have the boldness to speak out against false teachers and false preachers. Christians have been weakened and kept dumb by false doctrines. And at the same time corrupt people have become extremely bold in voicing their wicked beliefs and want rights to do wicked things, (abortions, gay marriage, prayer taken out of school, etc...) all the while snufffing out christians rights to openly be christian. Matthew 7: 21- 23 says that many will come in Jesus name saying that they cast out devils, prophesied in His name, doing great things in His name, and even after all of that Jesus will say to them, "Go away evil or wicked doers, I NEVER knew you." These "christian" people actually perform miracles, perform exorcisms, speak great things, doing the church thing but never really know the Messiah. They fell for the false gospel since it resembles the gospel of Christ to those who are uneducated or still blind by sin. But for those who know the Son of God, they can see that it is an imitation, and a really bad one too. The whore of Babylon's true colors can be easily seen by a true believer.

Answer 2

What do you mean by "supersticious", because I don't see how that ties in with your argument. Look it up on dictionary.com. Anyways, yeah there's corruption in catholicism, but that does'nt mean all catholics are bad. Anywhere you look there is going to be corruption (for example, the government), not just the catholic church. Catholics are also not the only ones that have priests (all different branches of christianity do). And your comment- "who do u think you all are" is just ridiculous. You're off on a tirade and you're blaming every catholic for a problem that's seen everywhere. YOU are the liar since God never left me. Since when are you the messenger of God? I'm sure you're no holy saint.

Answer 3

Since I believe that there are many interpretations to the bible, and that the bible may have been mistranslated, I think it is wrong to say what God supports, or wants. We are all entitled to our own interpretations and opinions, but it should not be about bashing each others' beliefs. We should all get along, support each other and practice tolerance of other religions and beliefs. Every religion has its corrupt or odd practices, or the extremists who make the religion look bad. I'm sure someone who doesn't believe in a higher being at all would call any religion superstitious, so you can't just classify catholics as superstitious. Why do you focus on catholics. Why not lutherans? They came from the catholic faith. What about Jews, or Budhists, or the Islamic faith? Please stop calling people liers, and just accept that their beleif is different than yours, and you shouldn't care unless they are trying to FORCE you to believe it. You can simply tell them you choose not to discuss it, and that you have your own beliefs.

Answer 4

consistently a good question to maintain alive, & to mirror what is going on in our motives. (coronary heart) the subject in this actual question is the Pharisee judgementalism in the church, or the condemning judgemental barbs from different denominational faiths in addition to, "Who" is to set the normally occurring for "works" in determining whether our faith and Salvation is real ? I actual have yet to work out this area of the equation asked . isn't the expression of the end results of the Spirit in how we cope with others an outward instruct of our faith? isn't the Widow giving her final 2cents (the mite) her works proving her faith? Or the Samaritan (a guy or woman of mixed breed or nationality) combating to help a wounded fellow? isn't a living faith such that others ask of you approximately your peace evidence of your living faith? What approximately your prayers for those in % ? isn't each and every of the above the 'fruit of Salvation' ? Why then ought to a pair connect works as whether it rather is a component of Salvation ? we are able to do certainly not something to benefit our righteous status till now God different than we have confidence into the Blood of Jesus Christ who's our righteousness, now and continuously. enjoyed Alabasters submit ...... /dm/

Answer 5

If you are just going to spew hatred, and attempt to create an opinionated paragraph, you should at least have the decency to learn how to use spell checker.. It's there for a reason, USE IT!

Stop with the stupidity already, learn to live with each other, and shut up! I'm tired of all this fighting just because you don't like someone else's beliefs. I've got some harsh facts for you, The world does NOT revolve around you... So grow up, find some maturity, accept people for who they are, and shut your mouths. I find children more mature and wise than those who spout hatred in the name of their God. I'm sure God really wants you to send hate out rather than love, since, it was only the Bible that stated "love thy neighbor" or "love the sinner, not the sin" and "judge not lest be judged"... I suggest you practice everything your holy book teaches rather than just picking and choosing.

Answer 6

Mary isn't dead.

Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection neither do they marry, nor are they given in marriage, but they are like angels of God in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."

Answer 7

There's more than praying to Mary wrong with them if you look at the catechisms and view of the Pope as Jesus Christ's replacement on earth. Add to that a priest (man) forgiving sins, which is impossible. The Holy Spirit was left for us as a comfortor and to pray directly to god the Father and Jesus....NOT to pray or beckon to dead people.

Answer 8

You're a sad, little man. This Catholic will pray for you and your cold, judgmental heart.

Answer 9

Zach,
As anti Roman Catholic as I am, I cannot agree with you. Jesus said what it took to be saved:

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
( John 3 )

Jesus said that if you believe in Him you have eternal life. So it depends upon the Catholic, as it depends on the Protestant: Does that particular person trust God? If not, then it is as you say. If so, then there is nothing you can do to separate them from the love of God we have through Christ Jesus.

As for Gays, the same is true. You have those who don't trust God, and you have those who do. For those who do, you can do nothing to separate them from the love in God they have through Christ Jesus.

So it would seem that you were trying!

Answer 10

Orthodox Catholics simply do not worship Mary as God -- and it gets a little tiring being accused of worshipping Mary as God when you don't.
It amounts to being called a liar and is quite rude.
We Catholics would be the ones to know Whom we consider God and whom we don't.
I love my biological Mother, too, but don't mistake her for the Lord!
I honor her, keep in touch with her, look after her, celebrate her special days, would get mad if someone were to insult her -- and I do the same for Jesus's Mother.
My love for my Mother doesn't mean I don't love my Father, too.

It just strikes me as evil, this not uncommon attempt to diminish Mary's status and the unceasing accusations against Catholics of trying to raise her status to that of God's. There's something very sinister and ugly in it, and I find it offensive.
We Catholics take great care in pointing out that "worship" in the sense of latria is GOD'S alone -- even to the point of having separate terms for the honor and adoration due to God as opposed to the honor and veneration of the Saints -- including His greatest Saint, Mary.
They are:


latria: the honor due to God alone
dulia: the honor due to human creatures worthy of respect
hyperdulia: the honor due to Mary as God's greatest creation and our Queen Mother



When we love Christ, does that prevent us from loving each other? No! Love is infinite because God, Who is Love, is infinite! We can love and adore Jesus, love and venerate Mary, love the other Saints, and love each other without depriving anyone (or Anyone) of anything.
How many children can you have without running out of love? How many friends?
What we "spend" in love is replaced many times over; love for Christ can only bring the fruits of more love to give.

To love Mary takes nothing at all from Christ, but honors our Blessed Lord by Whose grace she is who she is: His greatest creation, the greatest of Saints, the Queen of Heaven, the Immaculate Conception, the spotless Virgin, the Ark of the Covenant, the New Eve, the mother of God, and the mother of Israel -- our mother who wants nothing more for us than to pray for us and show us her Son.


...And ask yourself why the heck we'd lie about not worshipping Mary as some sort of divine being if we actually did. Do you think we are ashamed? Afraid of what you might think? Do you think that we actually do worship Mary but don't tell converts until some secret ceremony held after they've been in the Church a few years and can be trusted?
I mean, really! Satanists have no qualms telling people they worship Satan, pagans have no problem informing the world that they worship the earth, Hindus are not uneager to reveal that they chant to Krishna -- but Catholics are "afraid" to "admit" whom they consider God?
Please! We are not afraid to tell you we believe in Purgatory, indulgences, the Communion of Saints, the efficacy of piously using sacramentals, the true grace of the Sacraments, the infallibility of the Pope when he uses his Extraordinary or Universal Magisterium, etc.
Trust me; if we thought Mary is a godess, we'd let you know.

As the obedient, infinitely holy Son of God, the Lord Jesus was a very firm believer in the commandment to honor one's father and mother. Now, what most people don't know about that commandment is that in Hebrew it literally reads, "Glorify your father and mother."We are to bring glory to our parents, and that includes not only our earthly, physical mother but our heavenly, spiritual mother as well. We are to imitate Christ, and just as he brought glory to his mother, we are to bring glory to her as well.

St. Luke's gospel (1:48) - "Behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed."


Her soul magnifies the Lord (Luke 1:46-55)!
