Why do their panties get in a wad when we actually DO what was done back in the early days?
Indeed we would!
You are losing your touch!
Isn't it 30,000?
Or 50,000
or 80,000 like you USED to post?
That John wrote about in the last book of the BIBLE!
7 CATHOLIC 'churches' teaching all manner of; shall we say; CRAP!
Ya THINK??
Let's try some easy math:
There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;
If merely 1% of them 'ask' Mary for help just once each day;
that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.
Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)
...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!
Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!
There are a lot of things I cannot understand about them.
It’s OK. Am comfortable with where I am. Not the least interested in arguing with them about anything.
I have friends in their camp, we get along fine.
Many of those who can, leave the Middle East. One from near Cairo explained to me that even in Egypt, the radicals are still there waiting for their opportunity again. He told me that the only path out was to leave. Have not heard from him for a while. He was young enough when I first talked with him that he still had military service ahead of him. Last talked with him about a year ago. He had finished his military stint, don’t think he actually served on front where the terrorists were.
This is why Christians know Roman Catholics worship Mary.
I can't speak for other Catholics, but when I was a Catholic, I know I worshipped Mary.
There is no doubt that she was blessed among women, but after giving birth to Jesus, she and Joseph had sex, like other married couples, and had other children, one of whom (James) became the leader of the Jerusalem church, not Peter. 😀
Exodus 20:4-6 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
God doesn't actually say *Don't worship them* and I'd guess that it's because of those very same semantic gymnastics, but what He does here is address the outward actions, which are objective and can be objectively seen.,P> Catholics have made graven images and they bow down before them.
That is objectively seen disobedience to God's clear command.
Even the 30k figure has been demonstrated to be wrong as they’ve been told on numerous occasions.
Unless, of course, a Protestant denomination has been corrupted by leftist infiltration.
Then all Protestants are the same.
At least once, I’ve been quoted that 30000 or a similar argument, only to have the heresy of the ELCA thrown at me a second later, as if we were the same.
Torpedo Trent and fire your current Pope and maybe we will talk.
If you want to see the Council of Trent torpedoed, I have no idea why you would want this current pope fired. He’s on your side.
