nonsense...for the first 1,600 years of Christianity, ALL Christians were Catholic...there were no other "denominations". When the so called reformation took place, people who were drawn away from the church and formed their own so called "denominations" Your knowledge is not as sure as you think. That's just plain inaccurate and incomplete history. But then, I'm not a lifelong member of the RCC and have no vested interest in this tale.

I stand corrected....I should have said that al TRUE Christians were Catholic....there were a few groups declaredto be teaching falsehoods who called themselves followers....they were in error.

>>The Catholic church is the actual presence of Christ, In fact He is physically within every Catholic church on Earth.<<

That is just another lie from the Catholic Church that too many have fallen for. True believers know the truth.

1 Corinthians 3:16 have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?

Romans 8:9 And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ -- this one is not His;

It's a sad thing to be held under the deception of the Catholic cult.

Catholics have been Incorrectly shown often enough that presbyeroi is not priest.

Fixed it for you.

You are wrong

TrueCatholic believers know the truth. Fixed it for you

I can’t believe you just posted that. Without sin yet erred? Had bad thoughts but yet sinless? Say what???

Well, I suppose that about covers it. Thanks for the responses.

>>without the Catholic church, you would never have read that quote nor would anyone else have.<<

Catholics sure do like to take credit away from God don't they.

>The Bible clearly teaches Mary was a sinner contrary to catholic doctrine.<

where???? besides, the Catholic church teaches that she was concieved without sin, not that she never erred throughout her life. She may have had some pretty bad thoughts toward those who were beating and crucifying her Son.

Actually the catholic doctrine teaches she was "free" from both. There is another error in this teaching below....Mary did not offer Jesus as a sacrifice. Christ offered Himself as the sacrifice. So there are two errors in this teaching of the catholic church.

It was she, the second Eve, who, free from all sin, original or personal, and always more intimately united with her Son, offered Him on Golgotha to the Eternal Father for all the children of Adam, sin-stained by his unhappy fall, and her mother's rights and her mother's love were included in the holocaust. source: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/pius_xii/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-xii_enc_29061943_mystici-corporis-christi_en.html

In Luke 1 Mary admits she is a sinner in need of a Savior.

The account in Luke 2 shows she was a sinner when she and Joseph offered the sin offering in accordance with Leviticus 12. That Mary and Joseph did this totally contradicts this false teaching by the catholic cult.

Romans 3:23 notes ALL have sinned negating the idea of the immaculate conception. No exceptions carved out.

God does not contradict Himself.

...The Catholic church is the actual presence of Christ, In fact He is physically within every Catholic church on Earth...just look for the little red light which indicates the presence of the Eucharist, ..."

Too much rhetoric.

In this last, it has turned the Church into something of a (little) red light district, wherein Christ, being His own mother also ("Mary" is the church too, right?) will show up to marry the Bride of Christ (the Church is the Bride, is it not?) with the whole affair (no pun intended) becoming reminiscent of Rodman dolling himself all up in order to marry ---- himself.

some people have self-identity "issues"

[Resettozero]

I had successfully avoided ever seeing that picture. And then, you...you...you...

ARRGGH!

[CynicalBear]

No you didn't fix it. The Geek word for priest is hiereus (ἱερεύς) and is never used for leadership in the ekklesia. It is used for all true believers.

Catholics sure do like to take credit away from God don't they.

You are wrong, again, and still.

on your great roios box it says Rome’s own interpretation of scripture....that Interpretation has lasted for 2,014 years...it was somewhere in the 1600’s that certain people (not mentioning any groups) began to interpret things to meet their own needs. Now there are such diverse groups all of whom think that their particular interpretation is correct.Only 1 can be correct and I’ll choose the 2,014 year old one.....seeing that they wrote it.

Did Jesus drink His own blood and eat His own flesh?
