” We just do not worship her like Catholics do.”
That statement is bearing false witness as it is stated clearly, by authoritative Catholic sources that Catholics do not worship Mary.
The question that remains, is, “does your religion have a line of succession from Christ to the Apostles, to their Successors, that is unbroken? This is the only church that can claim to be the original church initiated by Jesus Christ.
Bank robbers do not confess to robbing banks, and liars will most often swear up and down (even on a stack of bibles) that they are not telling untruths, either.
That is something of an artificial construct, which also by default assumes that even the MOST GODLESS of popes (and there have been more than a few of those) are somehow part of this alleged succession, those God-LESS, even personally reprobate personages still by some 'magic' (that does not extend past Rome, hence a double standard of sorts) could ever have rightfully enough been capital "S" Successors to any of the truly righteous...
There is more yet also, in that the bishopric of Rome was not seen among the early Church as the center of all authority. Those type of considerations were chiefly an invention of 'Rome' Alone, while also something of a corruption of ecclesiastical order of the earliest centuries, wider, thus truly universal Church.
For those of Rome to pretend that their own chr4uch (and their own pope) is the topmost over all others, is contrary to scripture in more ways than one (would you like to see it?) and history (I could show you some of that!) BOTH!
Would such a contrary contraption such as that, be truly invention of the Most High God...?
Or is it something else, yet again?
God can raise up children of Abraham from the very stones, as it is written (oh ye of little faith -- how long must we suffer thee?)
and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
Signed, Jesus
That water you keep using to wash the hog is getting a bit feted. Are you still believing that nonsense that there is a proven ubroken succession from Peter (in Rome no less)? Do you even know when the first Pope was established?
Nope. The question is what you do about Jesus.
religion has no part in a relationship with God through Christ.
No one church organization is the true body of Christ, which is an organism, not an organization.
