Catholics, Protestants, and Immaculate Mary

She leads people to Jesus.

She did a REAL poor job of 'leading' me!

Will you honor Jesus' mother once the Trumpet alarm goes off and she "wakes up"?

Not like you Catholics do.

John 19:19-22

19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth, the king of the jews. 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”

22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

satan, I command you, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to leave my presence with all your demons

Did it work?

Maybe you need to publish a novena that's never been known to fail...

You don't even bother to name him or state what qualifies him as a "leading" apologist.

So; proper 'credentials' would make the message more valid?

...as our task is, Christ said: "teaching [..] to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:20).

A noble task indeed.

Too bad that so many OTHERS things have been added by RCC that Jesus NEVER commanded.

Lucy; you got lotsa 'splainin' to do!

False premise. St. Joseph was Jesus adoptive father.

It was caught in his trap.

Or just stick to your pitchers...

Anticipating the question, yes, I know that some also leave; may God have mercy on them.

That belief “on Lord Jesus Christ” must be a complete, well-formed belief resulting in good works (cf Matthew 25:31-46)

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

1 John 3:21-24

Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

Scripture tells us hundreds of times that happiness is a consequence of following the Lord.

It DOES???

HMMmm...

Hebrews 11:37

They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated--

Those high above SLC get just as upset when their 'church' gets exposed.

"Any Latter-day Saint who denounces or opposes, whether actively or otherwise, any plan or doctrine advocated by the 'prophets, seers, and revelators' of the Church is cultivating the spirit of apostacy..."

(Improvement Era, June 1945, p. 354)

MP3 File

This is the audio clip of Dallin H. Oaks, current Mormon Apostle leader, from the PBS documentary, "The Mormons", declaring unequivocally:

"IT'S WRONG TO CRITICIZE LEADERS OF THE (MORMON) CHURCH, EVEN IF THE CRITICISM IS TRUE."

Don't criticize?

15 Do you consider yourself worthy to enter the Lord's house and participate in temple ordinances?

Oh, they can say that their leaders were NOT speaking for GOD when they said WHATEVER but that's NOT the same as criticizing!

( Remember fellow Christians: the Mormon's criticize US because they've been taught that they CAN'T criticize ANY of their leaders; so they HAVE to vent somehow! )

Where are the MORMONs in this thread?

Usually they’ll show up and highfive the CAtholics over a really good putdown of us EVANGELICALS.
