		<description>Protestants believe that the ultimate authority in religious practice is the Bible.   Roman Catholics believe that the ultimate authority in religious practice is the Pope.   It is difficult for the Protestant Bible-obsessed American to understand, but the pope is allowed to add to, interpret, or even the Bible.   This difference of opinion, of course, caused hundreds of years of war and millions of deaths in Europe. And in the end, nothing was resolved.</description>

		<description>Because the Bible does not command us to do any of those things.   The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits that the early Christians prayed to God, not saints when he says: &#34;In general, the N [ew] T [establishment], prayer to everyone, both private and public liturgical prayer, is addressed to God the Father through Christ. &#34;It also states:&#34; The sentence should be an expression of friendship with God. &#34;Volume XI, pp. 670, 673.   Have &#34;friendship with God&#34; eliminates the need to have someone speak for you, even if that were possible. Christians do not have to go through &#34;holy&#34; because they are afraid to deal directly with God. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, revealed that no such need intercessors with God, because we &#34;freeness of speech&#34; to deal with him through Jesus. Paul advised: &#34;Therefore, focusing freeness of speech to the throne of goodness prejudices, to obtain mercy and kindness to help find bias at the right time.&#34; (Hebrews 4:14-16)   To address the rosary:   See you in the Holy Scriptures and is no reference to those who need a rosary or similar means of counting prayers memorized. In fact, the Bible does not suggest that prayer is the same to be repeated again and again.   It is true that the Scriptures call Christians to &#34;persevere in prayer.&#34; (Rom. 12:12) But this does not mean repeating the same thing over and over again. Jesus said: &#34;When praying, do not say the same things over and over again, like the people of the nations do, because guess who has a hearing on use of many words. So, you do not like them. &#34;(Matthew 6:7, 8) If the store does not say the prayer over and over again, obviously it would be necessary to account how many times they say.</description>

Christians do not have to go through &quot;holy&quot; because they are afraid to deal directly with God. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, revealed that no such need intercessors with God, because we &quot;freeness of speech&quot; to deal with him through Jesus. Paul advised: &quot;Therefore, focusing freeness of speech to the throne of goodness prejudices, to obtain mercy and kindness to help find bias at the right time.&quot; (Hebrews 4:14-16)<br />
  To address the rosary:<br />
  See you in the Holy Scriptures and is no reference to those who need a rosary or similar means of counting prayers memorized. In fact, the Bible does not suggest that prayer is the same to be repeated again and again.<br />
  It is true that the Scriptures call Christians to &quot;persevere in prayer.&quot; (Rom. 12:12) But this does not mean repeating the same thing over and over again. Jesus said: &quot;When praying, do not say the same things over and over again, like the people of the nations do, because guess who has a hearing on use of many words. So, you do not like them. &quot;(Matthew 6:7, <img src='http://www.romancatholicresources.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> If the store does not say the prayer over and over again, obviously it would be necessary to account how many times they say.</p>

		<description>These go against the Bible - Exodus 20:4-5.   Some other things that are not in the Bible are: the purgatory, limbo, original sin, and the descent of Jesus to death in an inferno doctrines.   all spread between the 3-4 century - long after the apostles died.   can demonstrate that the thumbs down are in the Bible?</description>
