You seem to expect Mary to be included in everything. Since when are YOU a critic of the Bible, what should be and what shouldn't be included?
Who made YOU Mary's critic? I thought that these were the WORDS OF GOD given to mortal men to write down for the world to know of God, His only Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit?
Do you really think that YOU deserve to criticize the Bible, who's in it, when s/he should or should not be in it?
That seems to be a whole lot of arrogance, PRIDE, the first and the worst of the seven deadly sins...if you even know what they are. And, guess what? They were enumerated by POPE GREGORY I, yet another Pope. Oh dear.
Protestants sure didn't do it. They didn't even EXIST until ONE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED AND FORTY YEARS after Jesus rose from the dead.
AND Protestantism began with an excommunicated Roman Catholic priest. So YOUR faith was founded by a Catholic outcast. Father Luther spent almost his entire life as a devoted servant of the Catholic Church. He was a BRILLIANT man but suffered from pride. He had many chances to recant but his stubborn pride showed that he listened to Satan.
SATAN would be the only being who would want to destroy Jesus' Church.
But, as usual, Satan failed. God KNEW that Lucifer would betray Him. God allowed Satan his free will. Satan chose Hell.
Excommunicated Father Martin Luther listened to Satan and tried to destroy Jesus' Church. He failed.
There are 1.3 BILLION Catholics in the world, as of 2013.
PAX TIBI!
Perhaps because Roman Catholic writers have advanced this narrative.
Seven deadly sins?? LOL...all sin is deadly.
Lol! That’s rich..coming from a religious system whose very religion comes entirely from traditions and doctrines of men. The Bible is added to or taken from in order to justify every one of your beliefs. Do not lecture me about the Bible, sir. You aren’t familiar enough with it, it seems
You’re bragging about the size of your church? Paul said “we dare not make of ourselves a number”. Do you think numbers mean correctness? How do you square with muslims?
