All Roman Catholics are taught that Jesus Christ alone is the Way, the Truth and the Light.

Please stop lying about the faith of others. Doing so while claimng to be a Christian is a very sad commentary on us all.

"And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it came about, that if a serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived" (Numbers Ch 21 v. 9).

AC, looking is not the same as worshiping. Anyways, the fiery serpents were getting the better of those forever grumbling guys in the wilderness


Catholics don't worship statues or saints. Get your facts straight before you commit the sin of calumny.

You see guys, my heart is for the Roman Catholics who WANT TO KNOW GOD but are deceived. I got lucky and got out. I became born again and then God Himself laid it on my heart (very clearly, it was supernatural) to leave the Catholic church and make a commitment to another church.

You can know Him by giving your life to Him and asking him to forgive your sins. He wants to be with you.

Good morning, Russs!

Don't be so hard. The poster does not understand Roman Catholic's relationship with God. Many of us are born again in our faith in God and Christ everyday. We just don't call it that.

Good morning kat. Today is the first day of February on the New Jerusalem calendar.

AC, sure you did the switchover to Protestantism, i take it. By doing so, you're comment is vague as it can get. That's what Protestants are good at, tho. Moreover in dealing with the Creator of the Universe, luck has absolutely nothing to do with it.

No, Catholics should never let these liars get away with slandering and lying about our beliefs. I am sick and tired of it happening daily on this forum.

No Christian goes around lying in the manner of those that I have seen who post here.

They need to be called on it each and every time they lie in this manner. At any given time there are threads actively bashing Catholics with nothing but lies as their foundation.

They are a souce of pure evil, those who do this. I believe the Scriptures state that Satan is their father, too.

You don't see Catholics telling others what they believe in this way. They need to really STFU with their lying lies told by the liars that they are for they are just plain WRONG to do this.

It's no misunderstanding but a deliberate smear attack and yes, I know Jesus said we would be persecuted but it should never come from those who profess to be Christain. It makes a total mockery of the entire faith.

If you were a catholic in the last 40 years, the chances of you getting authentic catholic teaching are pretty dang slim. Freemasons and modernists have infiltrated and decimated the church.

Thank God for Archbishop LeFebvre and others who remained in the truth.

No, you obviously don't have a clue what you are talking about. Because something is expressed in a different way doesn't give it a different meaning.

And isn't it cute how almost ALL the Catholic bashers claim to have previously been Catholic but are totally lacking in even the most basic knowledge of the Catechism? How many times have you read it, for example? I'd guess never or you would know better than to make such ridiculous statements.

So again I ask, what should faithful Roman Catholics do about this?

Religious people, LMFAO

You were given a brain to use, use it and you will see ALL religions are nothing but dead end traps.

Go with the New Jerusalem.


Sun Feb 12/1

There are many forces of evil in the world and it would seem some have been attracted here. They can not stand when the truth is spoken, nor when the Lord is glorified. Eternal damnation is their fate and they wish to take as many souls with as they can.

Re-read this thread and observe hoe the tone of the disbeliever has changed. It has gone from simple disagreement to mockery. Truly the sign of Satan.

GET THEE HENCE DEMON!
THERE IS NO PLACE FOR YOU AND YOUR MINIONS HERE.
IT IS THE POWER OF CHRIST WHO COMPELS YOU TO DEPART!

Back to the questions at hand


Question for the catholics in here. Do you still kneel infront of the statues that I've seen in most churches?

Do you understand the 10 commandments? If so here is commandment number 2.

You shall not make for yourself any 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 nor 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 fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.


"Catholics worship statues!"
People still make this ridiculous claim. Because Catholics have statues in their churches, goes the accusation, they are violating God’s commandment: "You shall not make for yourself a graven 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" (Ex. 20:4–5); "Alas, this people have sinned a great sin; they have made for themselves gods of gold" (Ex. 32:31).

Truthfully, it is right to warn people against the sin of idolatry when they are committing it. But calling Catholics idolaters because they have images of Christ and the saints is based on misunderstanding or ignorance of what the Bible says about the purpose and uses (both good and bad) of statues.

Anti-Catholic writer Loraine Boettner, in his book Roman Catholicism, makes the blanket statement, "God has forbidden the use of images in worship" (281). Yet if people were to "search the scriptures" (cf. John 5:39), they would find the opposite is true. God forbade the worship of statues, but he did not forbid the religious use of statues. Instead, he actually commanded their use in religious contexts!


What if...God Said To Make Them?


People who oppose religious statuary forget about the many passages where the Lord commands the making of statues. For example: "And you shall make two cherubim of gold [i.e., two gold statues of angels]; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be" (Ex. 25:18–20).

David gave Solomon the plan "for the altar of incense made of refined gold, and its weight; also his plan for the golden chariot of the cherubim that spread their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the Lord. All this he made clear by the writing of the hand of the Lord concerning it all, all the work to be done according to the plan" (1 Chr. 28:18–19). David’s plan for the temple, which the biblical author tells us was "by the writing of the hand of the Lord concerning it all," included statues of angels.

Similarly Ezekiel 41:17–18 describes graven (carved) images in the idealized temple he was shown in a vision, for he writes, "On the walls round about in the inner room and [on] the nave were carved likenesses of cherubim."

Another charge sometimes made by Protestants is that the Catholic Church "hides" the second commandment. This is because in Catholic catechisms, the first commandment is often listed as "You shall have no other gods before me" (Ex. 20:3), and the second is listed as "You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain." (Ex. 20:7). From this, it is argued that Catholics have deleted the prohibition of idolatry to justify their use of religious statues. But this is false. Catholics simply group the commandments differently from most Protestants.

In Exodus 20:2–17, which gives the Ten Commandments, there are actually fourteen imperative statements. To arrive at Ten Commandments, some statements have to be grouped together, and there is more than one way of doing this. Since, in the ancient world, polytheism and idolatry were always united—idolatry being the outward expression of polytheism—the historic Jewish numbering of the Ten Commandments has always grouped together the imperatives "You shall have no other gods before me" (Ex. 20:3) and "You shall not make for yourself a graven image" (Ex. 20:4). The historic Catholic numbering follows the Jewish numbering on this point, as does the historic Lutheran numbering. Martin Luther recognized that the imperatives against polytheism and idolatry are two parts of a single command.

Jews and Christians abbreviate the commandments so that they can be remembered using a summary, ten-point formula. For example, Jews, Catholics, and Protestants typically summarize the Sabbath commandment as, "Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy," though the commandment’s actual text takes four verses (Ex. 20:8–11).

When the prohibition of polytheism/idolatry is summarized, Jews, Catholics, and Lutherans abbreviate it as "You shall have no other gods before me." This is no attempt to "hide" the idolatry prohibition (Jews and Lutherans don’t even use statues of saints and angels). It is to make learning the Ten Commandments easier.

The Catholic Church is not dogmatic about how the Ten Commandments are to be numbered, however. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says, "The division and numbering of the Commandments have varied in the course of history. The present catechism follows the division of the Commandments established by Augustine, which has become traditional in the Catholic Church. It is also that of the Lutheran confession. The Greek Fathers worked out a slightly different division, which is found in the Orthodox Churches and Reformed communities"

Born and raised as a Catholic for 21 years. Went to a parochial elementary school (St. Christopher's) and was taught by nuns. I 'religiously' went to mass. My grandmother, who raised me, almost became a nun. We were never introduced to salvation in this way.

I don't think you know what you are talking about.

You confuse mockery with facts my friend. I grew up in the catholic religion. After my first confession I was told by the priest to do so many hail marys and our fathers in front of a statue. This statue I was told by my catechism teacher was the virgin mary herself. Maybe the church I attended was the only one that does this. Mary will not save us. You confuse me with protestant. I got out of that as well. It's simply a spinoff of the idolatrous and pagan catholic religion. When I say pagan I'm asking what does easter mean?

In regards to the things in the temple. These were commanded by God.

The statues and idols in the catholic church are commanded by man and not God.

May you see the light some day my friend.

Jesus is the only way.

The pope will lead you to damnation. We know this simply by examining their deeds and actions. Examples would be hiding facts about child molestation in the church.
