May God help you through the messes in your life until you return to the truth.
I beg you to listen to the sermons I linked. Listen to just one of them even. Are you sure you have heard and understood the real gospel? What if you think you have but you are wrong? Are you trusting a system, a tradition, your own understanding? Or are you trusting Christ? Are you trusting Him as revealed in His word or as represented by Rome?
No thank you. My priest is an excellent homilist.
If you follow a blind guide you’ll both end up in the ditch. That said, any man who has Christ has no need for a priest. HE is the great high priest.
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.”
—Hebrews 4:14
I’ll keep praying for you.
My priest is not blind.
He is a follower of Jesus Christ to the enth degree.
Could you point me to where in Scripture "Pope" Peter establishes, and the dates of, the four Roman Catholic dogmas of Mary?
Check the Council of Jerusalem for the exercise of the authority of St. Peter.
For the dogmas/doctrines about Mary, please check the Vatican website.
Please don’t ask me to do your homework.
Well if you don’t know, just say so.
What if you are dead wrong? What would it hurt to listen to the sermons I linked? What if I’m right and you miss a chance to hear and understand the truth?
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
—Matthew 7:14
Colossians 2
16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.
17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
18 Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,
19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.
20 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations-
21 “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch”
22 (referring to things that all perish as they are used)-according to human precepts and teachings?
23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.

I do know — but do your own homework.
Somewhat of a non-sequiter, except, of course, not. LOL
He gave out free rosaries to everyone there.Best medicine he said.I told him to say that:)
Why are you being so evasive over a simple question?
I've done my homework and the Maryidolatry continues in the New Evangelization.
Was Mary crucified for you?
Don't be sweet, just preach The Gospel and let the Power of the Holy Spirit build up His Church of Living Stones, and not some man made hierarchy of Nimrod.
First, show me in Scripture where it says that every iota of Christian truth is written in Scripture.
There is no such thing as idolatry of Mary. Where do you get this unfortunate information? Maybe a pamphlet? Maybe a preacher who hates Catholics?
We ask Mary to pray for us.
Have you ever asked anyone to pray for you?
Do you remember Mary’s last words in the Bible at the Wedding of Cana? “Do whatever he tells you.” She always defers and gives credit to her Son, Jesus.
How many times must we tell you that we do not worship Mary?
We ask her to pray for us. Period!!
Where are you getting this false information?
First, show me in Scripture where it says that every iota of Christian truth is written in Scripture.
The complete question of mine to Salvation which you truncated is:
"Could you point me to where in Scripture "Pope" Peter establishes, and the dates of, the four Roman Catholic dogmas of Mary?"

Nice try.
Since Salvation is so evasive and won't answer, maybe you want to give it a stab?
Sorry for the delayed response, I've been kinda busy.
