The RCC lies to its members by telling them the Bible is too difficult to be read on their own and so they need a bunch of old men in dresses to interpret all the big words for them.

How Satanic. The Bible can be understood by children, as Scripture tells us.

"But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." -- 2 Timothy 3:14-15

Eternal salvation is simple and requires none of the extraneous five "sacraments" of the RCC, nor confessions to "alter Christus," nor all the good works in the world. None of that will get you to heaven, Narses.

Only one thing will get you to heaven. And the RCC actively works against dispensing this precious understanding of God's merciful, free grace...

"Believe in Jesus Christ as Lord, God and Savior and be saved."

So profoundly simple. And Rome still gets it so wrong.

If you don't understand this, maybe you should spend more time reading the Bible instead of cereal boxes.

Again what is your obsession with robes as a sign of their professional station?

Clergy wear robes, not just Catholic priests.
Judges wear robes.
Professors wear robes during certain ceremonies where they display their office.
Graduating students wear robes.
A robe is not a dress.

Oh and please point out any Catholic doctrine that says we are not allowed to read the Bible on our own.

“The RCC lies to its members by telling them the Bible is too difficult to be read on their own and so they need a bunch of old men in dresses to interpret all the big words for them.”

Again I am not permitted to write this is your opinion. I will immediately tear up my Bible to reflect my acceptance that whatever you write must be correct.

"Believe in Jesus Christ as Lord, God and Savior and be saved."

NOT be born lucky and be saved.

So simple and yet the lawyer Calvin got it wrong.

Why do you use RCC? Is it because it is a Protestant thing to do? There are over 20 rites in the Catholic Church. The Latin Rite is only one of them.

Are you saying that Catholics are Satanic because they might not read the Bible as often as you do? I think this is a strange use of words. I would never venture to call any group other than the occult “Satanic.”

When you say that Rome gets it wrong, what exactly is wrong with the Bible? With Catholics? Can you be more specific?

I am a woman. You, I believe, are a woman. Are you saying that the Catholic Church is composed of only “old men?” LOL!

You should hear our youth choir!

The chausible, alb, and other vestments, BTW, are not dresses. Sorry you believe that they are.

When posters post outright lies, such as:

What is the appropriate route? Call them a liar? Point out that their heretical sect is satanic? Laugh at them?
