This question is for Christians, please. Catholics Welcomed.
Catholics sincerely ask, why the cult of Mary, saints, relics, icons, pray in vain repetition in the Rosary Jesus told us that he does not believe in purgatory and that nullifies the cross of Christ? And if not why are you in a religion that does? I too was born a Catholic, but once I started reading the Bible, I could see the bad in religion and had to leave. Most Catholics seem to choose which parts of Catholism who want to keep and what parts they want to throw out and I think it is good to stay there. God called Israel to tolerate a harlot pagan practices like these. He said that the great whore in Rev. "Come out of her my people." Most churches do not condemn non-Christians to Christ, that only corrupt his teachings. And what about how he tortured and killed Christians in the midevil times. Are you aware that the priests used to be able to marry the church but do not want to leave their homes to their children and not the church.

Whatever your problem, is no small thing.
Did you know that the word stick means a person living in the country? you're using it incorrectly. and continued his Bible so well then why judge others? judgeing for their sins he has committed one of his own … Quick now repent
It hurts my heart that others have left much to mislead you regarding the Catholic Church. I ask God to forgive those who have deceived you.
I answer with all honesty that Catholics and sincerety NOT worship Mary, saints, relics, and icon. These are holy people and things we have in great honor, but only worship God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The rosary is not a vain repetition of prayers. Yes, it is a repetition of prayers. There are many psalms of the Bible that are also repetitive. A person who is a reflection of the mysteries of the rosary - the events in the life of Jesus and Mary, while the sentence. This prayer is not vain.
Purgatory does not invalidate the cross of Christ. Purgatory is the purification of the soul after death. Purgatory is the result of the death of Christ on the cross. It is the death of Christ on the cross that makes the forgiveness of sins in Purgatory possible.
I read the Bible daily and there is no conflict between his beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church. Have misinterpreted the Bible or let others show a misunderstanding of the Bible.
A clear example is the misinterpretation of the Catholic Churvch as the whore of Babylon. The whore of Babylon was the pagan Roman Empire that persecuted Christians.
They have been deceived into thinking that priests are not allowed to marry their homes and personal possession will go to church and not their children. Think about it. The priests have no brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews to leave their home and belongings to?
Do you see how he has been deceived?
its best to ask only one or two questions at once.
Then come back later to ask the rest in order to receive the best, well-organized responses.
Catholics do not worship Mary or other saints or statues of God, which is limited to showing respect. You may have possibly chosen by the cult of Mary as a Catholic, but 99% of all other non-Catholic Christians!
Catholics simply showing respect for Mary and the saints. Please do not believe everything you hear, see or read, unless it comes from the Catholic Bible.
Catholics Worship only true God - Father, Jesus (The Word of God in heaven before He became flesh), and The Holy Spirit! That's it.
It'sa good idea to ask questions and make statements on yahoo answers in a very discreet way, without judging.
In his Bible, as well as mine, would you not say,
Jesus speaking, "Judge not …." Matthew 7
Read more about this prodestant amplified in the Bible and read Matthew 6:12 ( "part of the prayer that Jesus gave to mankind") Please read vv 14 and 15! Thank you. This will help in its relations with the Catholic Christians.
I will be patient with you, because God has not finished with you. You also be patient with me. Thx
P.S. = Instead of criticizing what you think is wrong with other faiths / religion, why not spend much of their time "to pray for them" as Jesus really taught.
Even said: "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you!"
How many Prodestant Catholic Christians or Christians really seriously the words of Jesus when he said to love (1 Cor. 13:4-7, 11 Y
Matthew 7:1) and pray for their enemies (even endlessly) that persecute you? Not many! This is so sad.
What is happening instead? Both religions often have the attitude, "I'M RIGHT AND WRONG."
For thought!
I will pray for you and your faith and how Jesus taught to do, pray for me and my faith. Well.
God loves you and always remember God is not Respector people according to the book of Romans.
Every day at Mass the Gospel is read, usually along with other readings from the Bible 2. I agree that not everything in Catholicism is as it should be. As I see little justification for why aren `t allowed priests to marry if they wish. It is true that before the Counter some things were very bad. However, I find it difficult to understand why some Christians regard their Catholic brethren as heretics. No church is perfect because people aren `t perfect.
This question seems a Chick pamphlet - the one that is increasingly born into a Catholic high gate of Hell.
Not the cult of Mary and the saints. They are venerated. - Big difference.
No mention of a Catholic saint or Mary, and ends with "Amen." They say that "we are asking Mary and all the angels and saints to intercede with God on our behalf." Like. I am a relatively recent Catholic convert, and find this whole process and the tradition a bit dubious and poorly thought out. It appears nowhere in the Bible, like almost everything that Catholics do every Sunday. Religion is a very rich man. But I never pray to Mary, nor have I seen this happen.
In fact, he is saying what he thinks is the truth, but it is false. Everything that is written is false.
I will give you two important ideas of Protestants who became Catholic.
The first is that of John Henry Newman a profoundly important Protestant leader of the 19th century. He vehemently hated Catholicism, but when I actually researched the practices of the Catholic religion at first hand, she realized that nothing I thought about the Catholic Church was true. Moreover, as a scripture scholar, he realized the Catholic Church is closer to the truth than the Protestants. Leave a famous quote. Of the 1000 people who hate the Catholic Church for what it is, 1,000,000 hatred so I think it is but it is not.
I will give you another idea of Scott Hahn. A 20th century which became a Catholic theologian writing. Accidentally took a book of writing and reading. He did not realize it was written by a Catholic. It was the best he had read and to write all the modern Protestant scholarship is to find out about the early church. Then they realized this was just one of thousands of works that Catholics have always known what researchers are discovering modern Protestants. Then they went to other Protestant theologians who converted to Catholicism before he was reading everything that has ignored simply because he was Catholic. Most Protestants do not realize the Reformation was a civil war, when theology and become a banner of war then all you get is bad theology and hatred and falsehood. Anything that is repeated falsehoods first told in the 16th century and still occurs today as if they are true.
You may have grown up Catholic, but I suggest you actually go in the right quality and read history and theology. You will find everything that was wrong about Catholics by Protestants in the medieval period.
Each name contains and choose what you like about the Bible. That is exactly why there are so many denominations. If you think yours does not, you're fooling yourself. Doing a little more homework, and open your mind.
I agree you should not worship idols saints …. exists in the Bible and each of them has to have spiritual significance in which we pray to them …. Mary was the mother of Jesus … we look at it so that
Argue that some points here.
But like everything else, religion, or
you never believe in the people, is a
matter. Everyone has to decide
themselves. If you have found the
pass - good for you.
