Catholics worship idols and pray to dead people. Many of their priests are also open homosexuals. The Papacy also claims that their priests can forgive sins or not, and God must obey their decision.
“Catholics worship idols and pray to dead people.”
I guess they don’t know that necromancy is strictly forbidden in the Bible (Deuteronomy). It’s clear that anyone who consults with the dead is detestable to God. Saul’s death was punishment for having a medium try to contact Samuel. (Of course, since it’s in the Bible they ignore it. They elevate the teachings of pedophiles and charlatans over the Bible.)
And they have so many idols! I had to play organ for a funeral in a Catholic Church once. Super creepy.
Phil, Prince of Dim Light, your Adventist rant is pretty easy to prove wrong, like your and Mayflowermadam belief that Jesus is the angel Michael.
Your accusations stem from Seventh-day Adventism’s demonic core, built on White’s lies:
| Error | Details | Refutation |
|---|---|---|
| False Prophecies | White’s 1856, 1844, 1845 failures. | Deuteronomy 18:22 |
| Investigative Judgment | Denies Christ’s atonement (*The Great Controversy*, p. 421-422). | Hebrews 9:12 |
| Sabbath Idolatry | Salvific Sabbath lacks support (*The Great Controversy*, p. 605-612). | Colossians 2:16-17 |
Your Adventist claim hinges on a narrow interpretation that Sunday worship equals the “Mark of the Beast” and aligns with the papacy, while only the seventh-day Sabbath is biblical. That’s a bold leap, but it doesn’t hold up. Colossians 2:16-17 clearly states that Sabbaths are shadows fulfilled in Christ, our true rest. Romans 14:5-6 allows believers freedom in choosing worship days—no mandate for Saturday only. The “Mark of the Beast” in Revelation 13 is about loyalty to anti-God systems, not a specific day.
Your Daniel 6:5 reference? It’s about Daniel’s faithfulness, not a prophecy of Sunday laws. Forcing a Saturday-or-papacy binary ignores Scripture’s broader context and Christ’s unifying work.
If you’re set on this, let’s dig into the texts—where’s your evidence tying Sunday directly to the Beast?
Your claim that “no law = no sin” oversimplifies and distorts biblical truth. Yes, 1 John 3:4 says sin is lawlessness, and Romans 7:7 shows the law reveals sin. But your fixation on the Law—presumably the Ten Commandments, with the Sabbath as the centerpiece—misses the bigger picture. The Law condemns, as you admit, but it’s not the eternal yardstick you make it out to be. Galatians 3:19-25 says the Law was temporary, a guardian until Christ, who fulfills it (Matthew 5:17). Sin isn’t defined solely by the Mosaic code; it’s rebellion against God’s will, exposed by the Spirit and Scripture (John 16:8-9, Romans 2:14-15).
Your claim that Seventh-day Adventists alone worship on God’s designated day—because it’s the Sabbath Jesus kept and supposedly the eternal heavenly standard—doesn’t hold water from a Catholic perspective. Let’s set the record straight.
Yes, Genesis 2:2-3 shows God rested on the seventh day, and Jesus, as a Jew under the Mosaic Law, observed the Sabbath (Luke 4:16)
. But you’re ignoring the bigger picture. The Sabbath was part of the Old Covenant, fulfilled by Christ (Matthew 5:17).
The New Testament never commands Christians to keep the seventh-day Sabbath.
Instead, Colossians 2:16-17 calls Sabbaths shadows pointing to Christ, our true rest (Hebrews 4:9-11). Romans 14:5-6 grants freedom in choosing worship days.
Where’s your clear apostolic mandate for Saturday worship?
.
Catholics worship on Sunday, the Lord’s Day, to honor Christ’s resurrection, the cornerstone of our faith (Mark 16:9, Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2).
This isn’t paganism or a papal conspiracy—it’s rooted in the early Church’s practice, guided by the apostles and their successors. The Catholic Church, established by Christ (Matthew 16:18), has the authority to regulate liturgical practices (Matthew 18:18).
Sunday worship reflects the new creation in Christ, not a rejection of God’s will.
Your idea that the seventh-day Sabbath will be observed in heaven for eternity is pure speculation.
Isaiah 66:23, often cited by Adventists, speaks of new moons and Sabbaths in a prophetic context, not a literal eternal Saturday service. Revelation describes ceaseless worship of God (Revelation 7:15), not a weekly calendar.
Why assume heaven’s worship is bound to one Old Covenant day?
You ask if I’d want to “miss out” on your version of worship. I’m not missing anything—Catholics worship God daily, especially in the Eucharist, the source and summit of our faith (John 6:53-56, 1 Corinthians 11:23-25).
If you think Saturday worship is the ticket to eternity, show me where the New Testament demands it for Christians.
Until then, your argument’s just Adventist dogma, not divine decree
