Stop thrashing!
We have the Word of God, and it condemns your every practice!
Calling men Father
Repetitive prayers
Using prayer beads
Praying to the dead
Praying to anyone other than the Father
Bowing at idols
Making idols
Following the traditions of men
Wearing long gowns
You illustrate that few oppose what the Church teaches, only what they think the Church teaches. But correcting your thoughts is useless now: it would require some honesty on your part first.
Until then, without basic knowledge, your criticism is quite meaningless, without importance or significance, except as it pleases you.
I’m still wondering though who taught you. Where did you learn your doctrines and beliefs?
Following the traditions of men
>>The last time I checked Evangelicals created their own traditions of men like altar calls, once saved always saved, Jesus dolls, Jesus theme parks, private interpretation of scripture, the rapture, etc.
Evangelicalism = Gnosticism
We have the Word of God, and it condemns your every practice!
Like the following:
Eating pork
Wearing clothing made of mixed fibers
Eating shrimp
Mixing meat and dairy
“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
Matthew 7:23
A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid:
Titus 3:10
My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.
Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.
Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.
Amen.
She became the Mother of God, in which work so many and such great good things are bestowed on her as pass man’s understanding. For on this there follows all honor, all blessedness, and her unique place in the whole of mankind, among which she has no equal, namely, that she had a child by the Father in heaven, and such a Child . . . Hence men have crowded all her glory into a single word, calling her the Mother of God . . . None can say of her nor announce to her greater things, even though he had as many tongues as the earth possesses flowers and blades of grass: the sky, stars; and the sea, grains of sand. It needs to be pondered in the heart what it means to be the Mother of God.
