Remember; it wasn’t Protestants that made a lot of this stuff up!
Which Protestants are you speaking about? There are THOUSANDS of denominations.
People OFTEN question and jeer at
--what they don't understand,
--what frightens them,
--what is new and different
--what they've been told to like, love, hate, ridicule, etc.
Were you taught to ridicule Catholics? I doubt it.
I didn't even ridicule all those VERY strange Hindu gods when we visited India. Amazing place. It made me appreciate my own faith so much more.
Why ridicule others' faith and faith practices?
Isn't it God's place to be Judge?
If the Romanists didn't have all of these myths and legends, they would have to rely on Scripture for guidance and revelation! But, it seems it is easier for them to follow after some visions, myths, and fables. rather than the Spirit! But, thank God for His Holy Spirit.
John 14: 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever- 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you. 1
