I am not a Bible scholar, but the Church guides its followers on what is sinful and what is not. I’m not sure mortal and venial sin is referred to anywhere in the Bible, but as Catholics, we are supposed to obey the rules of the Church, and according to the rules, missing Mass is a mortal sin. Just as the case of not eating meat on Fridays a few decades ago was a mortal sin. There are other rules of the Church that are not mentioned in the Bible.

Here's a good lesson for you...

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Doesn't it seem odd to you that the scriptures that your religion claims to have authored comes right out and condemns the practices of your religion???

The solution is to get into the scriptures and see what God says for Himself...

I see that you are a Catholic basher. I know many Evangelicals who are quick to denounce my Church and get downright insulting about it. I love my Church and if you don’t, then you obviously don’t know enough, if anything, about it. You worship your way, and I’ll worship mine. God Bless you.
