Iscool, amoreperfectunion and I have offered Biblical support for our positions

You're joking, right? What "biblical support" other than your assertions that anything to do with the Catholic tradition is "of the devil"?

Your basic assumption, that Roman Catholicism is theologically evil, is fundamentally false.

The question you need to be willing to face is, are you ready to accept others who confess Jesus as Lord as your brothers and sisters in the Faith? Of course, I am not speaking of rank heretics who categorically deny the great Creeds of the Faith. These include Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, and all those who would deny, e.g., the Nicene Creed. To confess Jesus as "Lord" means that we accept Him as God incarnate, whose death on the cross and resurrection is the basis of our Faith. Praise God! Can you accept those who confess Jesus as Lord, even though they may not express their theology in exactly the same terms as you do?

I will ask again.

As a "life long Protestant" who stands with the Roman Catholics....

do you submit to the authority of the Roman Catholic Pope?

Do you have idols of Mary in your house or church and kneel before these?

Do you say the Rosary?

Do you believe the appearances of the apparitions to be Mary?

Do you agree with Roman Catholicism's dogmas on Mary?

Do you accept the Apocrypha as inspired Scripture?

Do you believe in Purgatory as do Roman Catholics?

Do you pray for the dead as do Roman Catholics?

Do you believe in transubstantiation?

The question you need to be willing to face is, are you ready to accept others who confess Jesus as Lord as your brothers and sisters in the Faith? Of course, I am not speaking of rank heretics who categorically deny the great Creeds of the Faith.

Ah...now you've made a distinction.

That's what we've done with Roman Catholicism.

Roman Catholic beliefs have been compared to Scripture and are found wanting.

btw...still waiting on the titles of the books you claim to have written.

No...

Jas_2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

I accept one as a Christian who confesses Jesus is his/her Lord...

I do not however accept a false religion that teaches that one must eat a wafer to gain salvation...

I see your QUOTES; but the word DEVIL was first used in this thread by YOU; in this reply!
