Isn't it interesting how the response illustrated my point?

"Rome fails in comparison..."

"Roman Catholic apologists exhibit such ignorance..."

"Evangelizing" from the negative is the modus operandi of the FReformed. It's not what the Reformed can offer, but only what the Reformed despises, which offers subjective bias; not objective truth.

I am disregarding the cut and paste at the end of the post. I consider it an transparently insincere and inadequate attempt to refute my observation..

Perhaps you're unfamiliar with Christ's instruction that we are to know truth from lies by comparing what is spoken to the written word of God. Good trees produce good fruit. Corrupt trees produce corrupt fruit.

Kneeling to Mary and praying to Mary and conferring onto Mary the names and offices and responsibilities that belong to Christ alone -- all are corrupt fruit and thus evidence of a corrupt tree.

"Flee from idolatry."

What is truth?

John 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone,but for them also which shall believe on me through thy word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
