What shallow is - is taking it personally. Unless you devised the Vatican/RCC man made teachings.

Teachings that opposes God's Word and taught as God's Truth will and should be attacked! We are to hate evil. And not to see/know/acknowledge how their teachings on Mary alone is in opposition to His Word on SO MANY levels is truly spiritual blindness. The RCC is an organization built on WORLDLY principles. There is no room for the Spirit in that - so spiritual blindness is a given. And the HOLY SPIRIT is needed to understand HIS WORD.

"The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.'

And that's why God's Word is not the final authority in the Catholicism world. Vatican/RCC say it needs to be taught it. And do so with man made teachings according to it's worldly principles. The two don't mix! And just one example is - what the world considers a mother. Jesus makes it very clear in His kingdom who/what a mother is - using his own mother as an example.

So that 'hating catholics' fails flat and more so for those who have catholics that make up the greater part of their family. My grammar school friend, a former catholic, did not hate me because she told me the Truth as God used her to open my eyes through His Holy Spirit inspired Word. But neither did I have my defenses up trying to defend 'man-made' to God inspired - so, unknowingly, at the time I allowed the Holy Spirit to enter.

Well, how's this, then? So far, I have not met, online, any protestant preaching TRUTH at me or any other Catholic who has evidenced God's Love. You would think, wouldn't you, that if you actually have the way, the truth and the life of Christ, it would show somewhere? It is my personal experience of Christ and His Salvation that genuine peace, kindness, forbearance, understanding, humility, and simple courtesy would just FLOW out of our Protestant brothers and sisters who are simply steeped in Holy Scripture like so many tea bags (NOT meant in the rude way, but like the Lipton beverage). With all that "rightly dividing, teaching of God's will and heart, understanding from the Holy Spirit, ALL that good stuff, I just don't get it.

I'm open to it. It was reading the Bible that taught me to love Christ. Everyone here dogpiled me when I gave my honest opinion of Paul's epistles. NOT ONE OF YOU, [yeah, I know, poor widdle me] reminded me of any of the truth and beauty in Paul's labors, and even I can find plenty, hardly looking.

Some of you have carefully insulted me, tnen had the gall to tell me to turn the other cheek.

You are all failures. I see none of you practising what you so loudly preach. When faced with someone who is angry, you attack. Without exception. Is that Christlike? A martian would have to wonder what you were reading, because by your behavior, it wasn't the Holy Bible.

I never pretended, nor do I now, to be anything except a sinner in need of Christ's Mercy. Yet you have all gone out of your way to have plenty of fun at my expense. Did any of you reach out, try to evangelize? I think that's just one more reason why I hate protestants and will never be one. Ever. Because the truth is not in you. At all. Pride is, you bet. What will that get you?
