but when your roman church makes up traditions that enslaves her members that is evil.

But any other denominations' traditions (including sola scriptura which is doctrinally a Johnny-come-lately, and is not found in scripture, no matter how often you misquote 1 Timothy 3)...we'll, they're ok, because they're 'our' traditions.

But there are a couple of other issues which are even more important.

First, not everything taught by Rome is necessarily a "made-up" tradition: some were revealed (e.g. Jesus to Aquinas "Thou hast written well of the sacrament of my death"), some were hammered out over time as a result of the progressive revelation of the Holy Spirit to the church (e.g. rejection of the Arian heresy and others). Note that I am careful to include as examples, for this purpose, only things which Catholics and dratted Protties have in common.

The other issue, is just because the Holy Spirit has moved on from a particular practice (or, possibly, our apostate age has fallen away from it), that doesn't mean that continuing in the practice must necessarily be *sinful*. By analogy, think of one of those Hawaiian lava flows -- you've got a thin crust on top, but the lava below is red hot and keeps moving and flowing. When the lava flow has gone by, the rock solidifies; but it's still genuinely result of the lava and not a fraud or fake.

“e.g. Jesus to Aquinas “Thou hast written well of the sacrament of my death”

So you say, but since it disagrees with the Holy Word of God therefore it wasn’t Jesus it was a demon, Gal 1:8

A very good example of that is the “maryoligy” dogma it’s clearly from the pits of hell as it is completely against the entire Word of God. I suggest you read about the church of Thyatira that way you can clearly see the fate of your cult.

“Aquinas”
If you rc’s would read and study the Holy Word of God instead of all the other writers/commentators you would see your errors.

First thing a rc does is quote a writer/commentator instead of the Word of God. I have noticed that the only way a rc can prop up the horrible dogma of the roman church is by anyone else besides the writers of the Bible.

“Johnny-come-lately, and is not found in scripture”
By the way sola Scripture isn’t a new doctrine Jesus used nothing but the Holy Word of God to defeat the Devil in the wilderness, so if the Word of God was good enough for my Savior then it’s good enough for me!

MISQUOTE??

Really; for someone who just blatently ignores the clear words of Jesus: Call no man father; you have one large set of gonads!
