Catholics ARE Christians. Protestants erroneously conflate Catholicism with something evil strictly because the Vatican is surrounded by seven hills as in Revelation. REALLY? That is the truth. Those same nuts believe in The Rapture which was an invention by an Irish priest in 1830 after a 15-year old Irish girl related her dream to him. To this day many Christians still believe in that foolishness. btw, 2000 years ago the faction that became the Catholic also believed that Mary was the twin soul of the Master as she was also born of a virgin - Ann - as virgin births are a universal law as Mary was also immaculately conceived. But the Christian faction that later became the Protestant - to this day - vehemently disagreed with the Catholic faction believing that there can only be one virgin birth while the Catholics believed that if you can have one why not two but even that got changed about 600 years later to be born without original sin because two virgin births were difficult to swallow.
"The Saviour of the world will be born the same way I was born [of a virgin]"--Zoroaster - 500 years before the Master walked the earth.
Grungebyte, you said "The Rapture which was an invention by an Irish priest in 1830 after a 15-year old Irish girl related her dream to him. To this day many Christians still believe in that foolishness." I believe in the Rapture as prophesied in the KJV Bible: My Pastor says when things are repeated 3 or more times, they're important. There are other scriptures foretelling the Rapture so it must be important.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 - Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 - For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Corinthians 15:52 - In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Matthew 24:31 - And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Luke 12:40 - Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 - For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
Matthew 24:42 - Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Mark 13:32-33 - But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Matthew 24:27 - For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
>>Jesus said in John 14:6 "...no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." but Catholics instead elect a Pope to do exactly the opposite- to come in between you and Jesus.
OOPS! Now it seems that you have misinterpreted the meaning of that verse. I am positive that it has nothing to do with coming between anyone. It has to do with Salvation according to mainstream Christianity. No one comes to the Father - is saved - except by the blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Forgive me please if we are talking at cross purposes but I believe that I am right about this.
The thing about the Pope is that he is supposed to be the Vicar of Christ - essentially Jesus's representative. According to the New Testament Christians are "of a royal priesthood" and of course do not need an earthly priest to intercede as you've pointed out. There is only one Melchizedek priest - Jesus Christ Himself - whom we pray to intercede for us during prayer.
I agree with you Adam that Catholicism - in all probability - isn't the correct religion. That is probably true. However Catholics themselves are indeed true Christians. Why? Because they believe that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Saviour. And that - according to the Bible - is all it takes.
Adam, sadly you are doing the one thing that epitomizes one of the failings of Christianity. There are pros and cons to all of the 11 living religions. I don't mean the beads and the snakes but the living religions. One of the cons or failings of Christianity is that Christians often pay more attention to dogma or to which Christian sect is more correct than to the lofty ideals of Jesus Himself.
"Believe on me."--Jesus Christ.
Btw, you yourself don't pay a lot of attention to the Bible either. Trust me. I'll wager that you think that Revelation is all about the future and you are also waiting for the silly Rapture. Right? The first eleven chapters of Revelation are in the PRESENT tense not future tense and the Rapture isn't Biblical. So my strong advice is to revisit your Bible.
I'm Christian. I worship Jesus Christ. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Not Mary or anyone else. Where in the Bible does it say to worship Mary, or anyone else? I know where it says to not worship idols.
In Christian church the Bible is freely used, open and taught. Is this so in Catholicism? No.
Great news and we find that its by *GODS* grace that saved us, and hungering and hopefully baptized we are filled with the holy *GHOST* Acts 2:38 or a type Acts 19, and Jude 20,*WHO* indeed brings forth fruit as we yield to *HIS* behests, and *HE* communicates to us from the THRONE, not speaking of *HIMSELF* but presents the perfect picture of humility in glorifying *JESUS* the *WORD* *WHO* in turn has asked us to ask our *FATHER* *WHO* is not far from anyone of us. *HIS* Eye is in every place beholding the evil and the good. Innumerable holy Angels, 2 to 1 of the fallen ones, who are used and revel in mischief to Psalm 119:67 :-) Fresh manna daily as we read Earths greatest Treasure, THE WORD OF *GOD* which shall be quickened to the true seeker for sure. *G* B U EVER, so rejoice in thanks and praise. X Ed.
I've written on this before. It's in the 1-100 history pages somewhere. I only know what the Lord spoke to me. I don't know much about how Catholics worship. The issue came about because of public hatred towards Catholics. Jesus sent this through the Holy Spirit to teach us.
When Archangel Gabriel told Mary what was going to happen. Luke 1:48 is a PROPHESY that has been continually performed throughout generations of Catholics mostly.
Why is this done? Mary is Jesus's mother!
Jesus wants his mother's name to be blessed.
Can any of us remember in a Baptist, Charismatic, Assembly of God, Pentecostal, Methodist, Presbyterian, & 10,000 others EVER say what's written in Luke 1:42 ???!!
No One Does! Every year we give Mary a place in our Christmas manger scenes in the front of our homes because the public tells the Churches that manger scenes at the Churches are illegal now.
Look at the Christmas programs: people spending big loot to out decorate their neighbors!! Does anyone else hate this?
This is Jesus's Mom! All cowards should be ashamed: my opinion. My opinion and $1.50 will get me a ride downtown on a bus.
"All generations shall call me Blessed." Who in the Church world has fulfilled that prophesy? Just this approaching holiday season, may we truly celebrate Jesus and the whole family of God around the globe.
Eat green popcorn balls and tell our testimonies of when we became Christians.
Let the kids hear the story of Jesus's birth.
If we do this I pray that God will turn back the virus, to whom released it on the world.
I'm really praying that all of us will remember those who are grieving with loss.
Help us to turn towards God again with our whole heart, kneel and ask for favor against this virus. The Body of Christ can do that.
Last year I sat down for many days and read all the way from Joshua to Chronicles to find out a mystery. God showed me, that EVERY time the nations repented and turned back to God, he helped them.
