I believe you mean, "...show too much."
Well, I certainly hope that someone sees it, dear lady. I would be thrilled to know many understood I am calling Rome a cult.
You, however, have picked up the mantra of Rome (so many sects, etc.). Rome fails to notice there are so many sects of Rome (Jesuits, Franciscans, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Georgetown Univ.,etc.). Perhaps more variations exist on your errant theme than on the theme of the side which rejects Rome. So, physician heal thyself. The question is, what does the Bible teach?
Martin Luther was fooled by the Catholic Church for a number of years, then God helped him escape many of their tragic errors. Then he began to tell the story of Grace. But, not everything Luther wrote, however, is correct. And no one I know thinks Jesus created Lutheranity. Or Calvinanity.
But, Jesus Christ certainly created the Gospel of Grace, through faith, and none of that from ourselves...it is the gift of God, not by works, lest any man turn out to be like Rome. And, He did not say to venerate, adore, speak to His mother when she died and went to heaven. That belongs to Him, alone.
I believe you mean, “...show too much.”
See correction I made almost immediately in number 118. You obviously missed it.
“Jesuits, Franciscans, Immaculate Heart of Mary”
None of these are outside of the Catholic Church and are active parts of it. Nice try, but no soap.
You just make things up based on your own sola scriptura interpretation of the Bible and then claim that as truth. The guy next to you in your Church pew could have a totally different interpretation of the Bible based on his sola scriptura opinion. In fact, your entire congregation at your Church could each have a different sola scriptura interpretation of Bible passages than yours. It’s endless, as endless in the myriad possible interpretations of the Bible as there are Protestants who read it and quote from it as they each wish it to mean. By the way, it was Catholics that put pen to paper, chose and created the chapters and books of the Holy Bible, not Protestants. Sorry, you had no hand in it. Catholics did. Protestants just popped up around the 1500’s and claimed it as your own. Laughable. You need to post a footnote on any of your religious comments giving credit to the Catholics for having created the Bible in the first place. Otherwise you are plagarizing.
Amen! Furthermore they call her the Queen of Heaven. I think they should do a study on who the Queen of Heaven actually was.
