You make assertions without proving that they are true.

Why don’t you start and prove that protestant beliefs are based on God’s Truth? Such as sola scriptura, sola fides, once saved, always saved, The Eucharist is not literal, Purgatory does not exist, don’t need 7 Sacraments established by Christ, the Mass was not established by Jesus and not sanctified by the Holy spirit.

If protestant beliefs are God’s Truth, why are there so many different denominations? They all can’t be true?

Your comment is not true: “None of the preceding is found in the Bible.” You have been feed many anti-Catholic false beliefs that are not correct. They have been repeated and have been proven false. Yet protestants continue to repeat them without fully understanding and not seeking to find out the Truth. Even when presented with the Truth, some ignore it or profess that it isn’t true; others have found them true and converted to the Catholic faith.

For example: Prayer to Mary and the saints.

Our Blessed Mother is without sin and first disciple of Jesus and followed God’s will throughout her life. She is very special to Catholics as our Spiritual Mother that we try to emulate and is the closest person to her son.

Praying for each other is simply part of what Christians do. As we saw, in 1 Timothy 2:1–4, Paul strongly encouraged Christians to intercede for many different things, and that passage is by no means unique in his writings. Elsewhere Paul directly asks others to pray for him (Rom. 15:30–32, Eph. 6:18–20, Col. 4:3, 1 Thess. 5:25, 2 Thess. 3:1), and he assured them that he was praying for them as well (2 Thess. 1:11).

Most fundamentally, Jesus himself required us to pray for others, and not only for those who asked us to do so (Matt. 5:44).

Not only do those in heaven pray with us, they also pray for us. In the book of Revelation, we read: “[An] angel came and stood at the altar [in heaven] with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God” (Rev. 8:3-4).

And those in heaven who offer to God our prayers aren’t just angels, but humans as well. John sees that “the twenty-four elders [the leaders of the people of God in heaven] fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints” (Rev. 5:8). The simple fact is, as this passage shows: The saints in heaven offer to God the prayers of the saints on earth.

Why don’t you start and prove that protestant beliefs are based on God’s Truth?

Like Rome 'proved' that the 95 items nailed to the church door were false?

HMMMmmm... the way that Rome finally admitted its error and created the COUNTER Reformation??

Our Blessed Mother is without sin ...

Maybe yours is, but Christ's mother admitted to sin; or else was a hypocrite for doing so!

Luke 2:22-24

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

The LAW!

Leviticus 12:7-8

Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'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.'"

Sinless Mary??

Not according to Rome's Book; 1 John 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

That's the way it is WRITTEN.

THIS is the way it is TAUGHT: 1 John 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us; the only exception being Mary, Mother of GOD, of course.

Rome has published facts, in it's book, that have turned IT's 'Mary' into a HYPOCRITE, by painting her as SINLESS, yet writing of her going into the temple to make a SIN offering.

If you insist your points are true tell me:

1. Where is Purgatory in the Bible?
2. Where does The Lord state we need to pray to Mary in the Bible?
3. Mass? Really? A ceremony is needed to please God?
4. Dead “saints” can hear our prayers?
5. The theology for a “pope”? And don’t try to use Matthew 16:18 for your justification for it. Jesus was declaring War on Satan with that verse stated on Mt. Hermon and less than a week later He was crucified for it.

Scripture and Verses for all points or it’s FALSE...

All have sinned and fallen short. Even Mary. Another if the heresies and made up myths your sect teaches. Another catholic lie if you will since you love to call protestants liars.
