Catholicism Verses The Bible
"Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." -Jesus, Mark 7:9
One of the great wonders of the world to me is how anyone could claim to be a Catholic and still believe the Bible is God's Word. Even the Catholic Douay version of the Bible condemns the Catholic faith repeatedly. The honest truth is that Catholics have been brainwashed to accept the traditional teachings of the Vatican as superior to whatever the Word of God actually says. Jesus plainly condemned placing the traditions of religion over the Word of God (Mark 7:6-13). Psalm 118:8 admonishes, "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." I'll give you several examples of how the Catholic religion contradicts the Bible, placing man's tradition over God's Word.
Bowing to Mary is Idolatry!
There is absolutely NOTHING in the Bible leading Christians to recognize Mary, adore Mary, or talk to Mary. Although most Catholics deny worshipping Mary, a picture is worth 1,000 words. The picture of Pope John Paul II adoring Our Lady of Fatima to the right, and the photo of Catholics bowing to Mary at the left, are clear irrefutable evidences of idolatry. Look up the word "worship" in any dictionary and you'll find that Catholics do indeed WORSHIP Mary and other hordes of dead saints. Those who want to fellowship with the Roman Catholic Church and accept it as a true "church" are ignoring its blasphemous teachings concerning Mary. The Catholic religion is straight out of the pits of Hell!
"Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols" -Psalm 97:7
The Vatican II Council and the New Catholic Catechism reaffirmed that Mary is the sinless Mother of God, that she ascended bodily to Glory (i.e., the Assumption of Mary) and was crowned as the Queen of Heaven, that she can hear and answer prayer. Of course, no such teachings are found ANYWHERE in the Bible. Mary is NOT the queen of heaven, she did NOT ascend bodily, and Mary certainly is NOT sinless! The mother of Jesus was a sinner! Where in the world did anyone ever get the twisted idea that Mary was sinless? No such teaching is taught in the Word of God. The Bible is clear in Romans 3:23 ... "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." That includes Mary! The ONLY sinless being who ever walked this earth was the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (2nd Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15).
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God..." -Exodus 20:4,5

who cares what the bible says?? its hopelessly out-dated and in dire need of revision...i know trying to convince you that biblical fundelmentalism simply doesnt work but youre too brainwashed to be reached..and mary WAS in fact sinless...as always you never know what youre talking about...you really are a piss-poor ambassador for the christian cause..all you ever do on this site is piss off everyone by spewing hatred...i cant recall even ONE post where anyone agrees with you on anything

He lost me at "Disciple of Christ", however impressed some others like Bart Simpson to some avail for some reason.
Copy and pasting is a work of art but this takes the cake.

In his case his copy & paste demonstrated a knowledge of the subject that impressed me. Naturally, the original authors impress me a tad more.

nobody ever said he did things out of faith, merely that he was Christian. Most Christians don't want to associate with people or things that have anything to do with violence yet most of Christian history is rife with violence. It's tough I know but true. Faith is rife with hippocricy.
Then you haven't read what Derby has posted. His supposistion is that Hitler's evil acts were inspired by Christianity, or more correctly, what he interpreted Christianity as being and representing.
I wasn't aware I had to read what DerbyX posted in order to make my own supposition. That is DerbyX's interpretation and I respect that, doesn't mean it is essentially the "correct" interpretation.
Of course, WWII wasn't even a religious war to begin with. Hitler may have been Christian but does that mean every single one of his personal beliefs were enacted upon Christianity?
