Then read and understand the teachings of the Catholic Church that are from God.

Even the Bible (NT) was written by Catholics based on the Words and teachings of Jesus. Jesus directed His followers go out Baptize and Spread the Good News to the World.

The Catholic Church has followed the instructions of Jesus for 2000 years with some ups and downs. And many heretics and self=professed followers.

And Jesus told us that He will always be with us and He gave us His Body and Blood.

If it is not the Truth, then it should be easy to prove the Catholic Church teachings from God as false, and you can’t. Just have your personal opinion and anti-Catholic feelings.

Mary was not free from sin as believed by catholics in the immaculate conception.

Why?

She offered a sin offering after Christ was born per Luke 2:21-24. This would be in accordance with Lev 12:8.

But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’” (Lev 12:8 NASB)

If Mary was free from sin, why would she need the sin offering?

Is anxiety a sin? Many consider be anxious a sin. We see Mary admitting she was anxious over Jesus in Luke 2:48. Again, if she is sinless she cannot be anxious.

So here are two proofs from the Word you asked for on this topic.

Mary was not sinless, was not born sinless, she was a sinner just as you and I.

I hope you didn't learn this type of logic from the nuns!

The Book says...

 
 
 
 Mtthew 13:24-30

24 Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds in his field.
25 But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way.
26 And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle.
27 And the servants of the goodman of the house coming said to him: Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle?
28 And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?
29 And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.
30 Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.

With the exception of Luke, Scripture was written by the Jews.

The Catholic church is not responsible for giving us the Bible.

The Holy Spirit is responsible for giving us Scripture.

The Catholic Church has followed the instructions of Jesus for 2000 years with some ups and downs. And many heretics and self=professed followers.

Like this one?????

Matthew 23: 8-10 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ.

If it is not the Truth, then it should be easy to prove the Catholic Church teachings from God as false, and you can’t. Just have your personal opinion and anti-Catholic feelings.

Sure we can. We compare it to Scripture.
