Saint Stephen, pray for us
Annie, do you ever read your Bible, or do you wish to just continue to spout verbiage from the Roman Catholic cult? It really seems the latter, as you are consistent to misrepresent what Scripture says, and try to frame it to meet your cults goal of confusion and separation from God. In no way does the RC religion show the way to Christ, but instead requires a circuitous route through Mary or some supposed saints to an end goal of works based faith. There is no reason for me to post the Scriptures again and again, because you are consistent in denying what they mean.
Guess what? They are all dead,Mary, and all the dead your cult wishes to elevate to some super status before God. I am a saint according to St Paul's doctrinal statements. I have seen where you quote and misquote his words, always trying to lead others astray into the cult of Roman Catholicism.
Blindly accepting things without proper guidance from the Holy Spirit makes it easier to get to the point where you will deny what is clearly taught and presented to you. It is called "hardening of your heart".
Your cults definition of Peter is off from the start(we've all presented the evidence to support that extra-Biblical claim), and there is absolutely nothing in Scripture to support praying to Mary or anybody other than the Father. Nobody! None! Nada!
I know you will come back with another false statement, but I also know in Whom I believe, and am persuaded that He will keep me... not anybody but Jesus Christ,our Goel (kinsman redeemer!)... and we will continue to refute the false gospel presented incessantly by the Roman Catholic cabal on FreeRepublic, soundly, with Scripture, as lead by the Holy Spirit.
isn't it absolutely amazing that the Holy Spirit influenced and guided the Catholic church for one thousand six hundred years before even the first protestant was born....suddenly, you, a person of perhaps 50-60 years of age, decides that you can better interpret what Christ meant when He established His church, than could the original Apostles......Good luck with that theory.

WV, I didn’t even know this thread was going until annalex pinged me with some picture of someone. I see the battle continues, and as you know, I am a reformed catholic. Traffic today, the day after Christmas was pretty bad on MacArthur Blvd. The NCCC grocery store was pretty crowded too. By all means, continue.
