.....”Laws for thee but not for me? Another example of hypocrisy”.....

It can be no other way for catholicism..... for ‘their’ re-constructed laws stand on their traditions...if they truly abided by the law their traditions would not stand at all. So they loose either way.

God gave us the law is to drive us to Christ.....we know we don’t measure up nor can we... for God also said that if you break any one of the least of his commands you are guilty of them all....so there’s nothing left for any to stand on...ALL become guilty before God.....

But catholics swing around that....by their very ‘traditional’ teachings that you have to jump through their hoops, intertwined and re-constructed with just enough Christian verbage to make it “sound” Christian enough to bait and switch those who are lost or unfamiliar with what God has to say about ‘His way’ of salvation ...and that is, with certainty, through His Son Jesus alone...there is no “other..nor add-on’s”.....which all false religions and cults promote BTW.

Have you ever noticed that with too many add-on’s on your computer eventually it will slow it down....or you get tangled up with what exactly which add-on does what you need? ......It’s the same with catholicism........layers and layers of add-ons.

Thus they nullify the word of God unto Salvation, (make non effective ...(mark 7:13), by their traditions that they have handed down....And so they ‘cancel’ the word of God in order to hand down their traditions.

Jesus declared to men of such......”Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,).... hypocrites! ....for you shut up the kingdom of Heaven against men!!!!.... for you neither go in yourselves,.... nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.”....Matt 23:13

Not "add-ons," but paths to Christ. Have you ever read about the lives of the canonized saints? There are over 10,000 of them. If so, do you find them confusing? Some speak more simply than others. No one in Catholicism is trying to confuse you. Depth is not confusion.

Have you noticed that those refusing to renounce their faith in Syria and Iraq are Catholic and Orthodox believers in Jesus Christ? Have you noticed that they are faithful unto death and that you are outraged because of Christians being killed in the middle east.

These faithful Christians you are outraged for are part of this 'conspiracy of ishtar' according to bashers on this thread. They're dying for Christ, but their hearts really belong to Ishtar, I guess. /sarc

Rev 6 9When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters were killed just as they had been.
