You have no idea what you're talking about. Your boy martin luther took many books out of the bible when he split off. Pretty sure THATS against the rules. By all means, go worship your "infallable" Pope, bow to him and kiss his hand, and worship Mary to absolve yourself of sin...and sprinkle some "holy water" around. Decorate your garish churches with gold and precious stones, molest your children and then cover it up. Look into the Catholic Church, the most evil people in the world were officials in the Catholic Church. There's so much wrong with Catholic church, I'd have to type for hours. The Pope wouldn't even denounce the Nazi's, and in fact helped the worst of the Nazi henchmen to safety in South America. |

It was created in order to control the people in the world by fear. Rulers created religion as a way to control people, so they could gain power over the masses. The premise behind religion is that if you commit sin, you will go to hell. Thus, rulers put it in peoples' heads that unless they live by a certain set of rules, 'they are going to hell'. The truth is, hell doesn't exist. Like religion, hell is a made-up construct designed to scare people into following a set of rules, in order to keep societies under control. Religion is also for people who can't think for themselves and for people who have no individuality; instead they simply join a religion and allow that religion to control their thinking. The only people who benefit from religion are the religious leaders. How many gullible people have paid money to the church, for example, thus making the 'saviours' who run it richer. I do believe in God, I believe in a Higher Power. But God and religion are two entirely separate things. God is the Universal Force that we all sense is there, but we cannot explain....but religion is simply a man-made construct that isn't real. God/the Higher Power doesn't get involved in the moral side of life at all. There is no such thing as 'sin', there is no such thing as 'hell', etc. We were given reasoning and a mind of our own, so we can think for ourselves and not blindly follow a set of rules that were designed by a religion. The way forward is not religion. The way forward is to become a FREE-THINKING, FREE-WILLED individual and to think for yourself and live life on your own terms. To pursue your own happiness and personal goals and to feel happy and fulfilled by doing this. Not blindly following a made up religion and advocating your thinking to that religion. As long as you don't hurt anyone else and you don't do anything illegal within the society you live in, you can do whatever you want. You're not 'going to hell' or any of that nonsense. Religion is the cause of most wars and conflicts in the world. Without religion, we'd all get along better. So guys, it's time to rid yourself of religion and become a free-thinking human being instead. |

Think about it...what other Christian church on earth has existed and survived for over 2000 years? The Catholic Church. Which church was alive and well before the bible was even out together? Yep, the Catholic Church. For over 300 years after Christ died there was no bible. It was the Church and her traditions which are still in place today. ITS EPIC!!! We have the whole pie. Other christian denominations have pieces of the pie. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2911653 The catholic church has changed the bible which is strictly against the rules, according to the bible itself. It also condoned hitler's actions and molests children and participates in idol worship. No church that breaks so many of it's own rules can be the true church. Did Jesus go to church? Your answer lies there, follow his path, not the path of those that get rich off his teachings. ^^^^^^^^^^ THIS |

Spitting Into The Wind User ID: 24257207 United States 10/08/2012 09:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you have a mother? Do you love your mother? Because our Lord Jesus Christ has a mother too, and he loves her dearly. In fact, he made her queen of heaven, and queen of the angels. She is greatly honored and adored. The rosary is for our mother in heaven, to intercede for us before the throne of God. To be our advocate. She is the mother of God. If for one second you don't think our lord will listen to his mother, you are greatly mistaken. And by the way protestants....WE DONT WORSHIP HER. The mother of us all is the WILL OF GOD; by His will we are birthed, including Jesus Himself through the Holy Spirit. Last Edited by Spitting Into The Wind on 10/08/2012 09:30 PM |

I have started the inquiry phase of the RCIA. Quoting: oLOVEz 24508868 I have been attending an Assembly of God, yet have had an awakening and need to know where the truth is... Assemblies of God is pretty recent Protestant sect, a lot fallen away Catholics who never knew their faith join. Very anti-Catholic. The true faith is Roman Catholicism. Jesus told Peter, Satan will not destroy My Church (Matt 16:18). The fullness of Grace and Truth is found in the faith. Protestants have a teeny, tiny bit of the truth and reject 98% of the faith to make up their take the easy way heresies. The Remnant is Roman Catholic. |

The WORD (Rhema) of God is the bread of SPIRITUAL life everlasting, as Jesus fully explained to His disciples. When We read the Bible, pray, seek His will, and do His will according to the Holy Spirit's direction, we are feeding the inner man, our spiritual man. IT IS NOT PHYSICAL! John 4:34 Jesus said unto them, "My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." John 6:63 The Spirit is The Life Giver; the body does not benefit anything. The words that I speak with you are spirit and life. |

Check it out from yourself. Do you think your institution would tell you the truth about that? Jesus was the cornerstone; Peter was the first stone placed by the ROCK by the Holy Spirit. I proofed it with SCRIPTURE, not conjecture. Why not ask the Lord Himself what is true? Believers should be able to heard directly from Him if they SEEK HIM constantly. If you choose to stay blind, why do you argue so much? He called me to be a bit of Light in the darkness of deception. But you are not under any covenant other than the corruption the people after the first apostles died MADE UP! You know nothing of the new covenant because you still do rituals and traditions of men, which Jesus hated. |
