“Try the Episcopalians. Theyve spun out of control these past few years, sadly so.”
In my post to which you have responded, note the artful use of the term “personally.”

Because He said to do it in remembrance of Him and that’s just what we do.

We don’t diss Mary, as you say. We just don’t put her on a huge pedestal and expect her to talk Jesus into answering our prayers. HE is the only intercessor and as God, he doesn’t need Mary to point anything out to him. She’s dead.

We pray to God through His Son, Jesus. We don’t pray to the Holy Spirit or Mary, or Saints or any of that stuff.

Absolutely NOT. The Holy Spirit doesn’t answer prayers. He guides and directs but He is not our intercessor.

I know it to be true by conviction of the Holy Spirit which is the only sure guide and the one Christ himself promised to those who believed in him. He said it would guide us into all truth, and I believe him.
The early Church was under the guidance of the Holy Spirit when it led them to produce what became the canon of Scripture. This does not apply to every other thing the Church has ever done or ever taught, especially when what the Church teaches goes against the clear direction and sayings of Scripture.
It's pretty simple, actually, and Protestants have known it for a long time, but occasionally we need to remind our Catholic brethren that Sola Scriptura doesn't mean "the Bible alone" it simply means that all that is necessary for faith and salvation, Christian doctrine, can be found in the Word of God that is written in Holy Scripture. This doesn't mean we have to toss out everything else, or even tradition but simply that tradition can only be validated in light of Scripture.
Like I said, pretty easy, but of course, leave it to the Catholic Church to try and distort or complicate the issue.

Actually, they are. The people you named represent a FRACTION of Christians in America. The 15th century Catholic Church was corrupt from the top down, and did not spread its corruption on one or two cable channels - it did it throughout the entire world.Have you ever considered that you are simply repeating someone's talking points? The comment above sounds similar in tone to an Mahmoud Ahmadinejad description of America the great Satan or perhaps a Pravda article. You might want to check your facts using both reformed and traditional (i.e. non-protestant) sources, rather than merely repeating someone's propaganda.

He said it would guide us into all truth, and I believe him.And if two people make this claim about their diametrically-opposed beliefs, one of them is wrong.

I ask for the favor of God on my life. Saints are DEAD. Why should we ask dead people to pray for us?
