Your comment: “I pray constantly that the scales of the Roman Catholic cult (biggest scam in history!) will be removed and God will arise and the enemy be vanquished!”
Yes the Catholic Church is a cult (not the way you mean), but Webster’s Dictionary defines cult as: “1. formal religious veneration: worship. 2. a system of religious beliefs and ritual” that was established by Jesus Christ and He directed His 11 disciples “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
I hope you see hatred as part of the devil and not the way Jesus taught us.
Yep, Catholics do venerate:worship their saints and Mary don't they.
venerate - from veneratus - adore, revere, do homage to, honor, venerate beg, pray, entreat worship
Exclusivity from/Denunciation of Other Groups: Each cult group, regardless of what other doctrines are taught, will all have this one common idea -- "The Only True Church Syndrome." The members of each specific organization have been taught that their church, organization, or community, is the only true group and that all other groups are false.
Exclusivistic: only the group has "the truth," . . . (www.doubters.net/cult.htm) Morehead writes in the context of cults like Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science and others. The "group" is a theological group not specific in locale. Thus, Morehead's "characteristic" blasphemes the way of truth (2 Peter 2:2), because this is the way of truth. Those who follow Christ are the only group that has the truth, because they follow the Truth (John 14:6). All who follow Christ, no matter where they are located, speak thus:
The group will place a tremendous emphasis on "doing good works". Members of the group may appear obsessed with doing whatever the group tells them to do, for instance always being at meetings.

Ypu were saying??
Then you might as well accuse Jesus of hate when He took on the religious leaders of His day.
He called them vipers, whitewashed tombs, and sons of their father the devil.
I’ll bet they’d have called Jesus full of hate for the times he cleansed the Temple, driving people out with a whip.
So when God says He hates stuff, then is He also doing the work of the devil?
