BTW, your post is quite rude and very false in my opinion.

I don't need to go to a Catholic mass, nor listen to someone, or read a pamphlet to know that the lies come from Rome. The Roman Catholic organization does not speak for God no matter how much you want it to seem that way. I know that we always hear about how important it is to follow your masters and the Roman conclave, but if we have the Holy Spirit operational in our life, ceremonies in elegant surroundings mean nothing. Absolutely nothing!

The presumption of the Roman Catholics on these threads is anathema to a proper understanding of the Scriptures. The complaints we commonly hear about “sola Scripture” are irrelevant to those of us who have been filled with the Spirit and are following after God. We don't need some fancifully dressed men telling us that we must belong to the organization in order to be saved. It is ridiculous to think that so many people can be fooled, but every time I see posts like yours, I think of PT Barnum.

My post with that graphic were directed concerning a statement by another Christian. His statement was his opinion concerning your group. I am in full agreement, and posted that pic because I know that truth hurts. The truth is that God is in heaven, and heaven isn't centered in Rome. The truth is that your man made religion is only that, a religion. It depends on your remaining true to the organization. If you are not willing to defend on them and listen to them, they will threaten you with damnation. God sent Jesus Christ so that we may live through faith in him. Not from some men in some building on Earth.

So, go ahead and play with your rosaries, and your repetitious prayers. But know that God has already spoken. He declares that what you do and that your organization does in their worship of idols and dead saints, the prayers to the dead, and all of the ceremony is worthless. There is only one way to heaven. God is a Spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Sorry, you are not a winner this time. But, thanks for playing anyway.

John 8:31-32 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Galatians 5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
