Nor did i .The Scriptures do not say that, upon conversion, you become incapable of ever sinning again.

Bkah blah..but u dont gather in his name.you gather in romes.Who do you learn from? I suspect you live in a place that is dangerous for Christians, which is why you say you do not gather unto "men"... This leads me to believe that you are a self-taught Christian, belonging to no congregation at all. Perhaps you live in Turkey or maybe Indonesia?
....I'm not criticizing this by the way, but I will warn you, that if you do use the internet alongside your scripture then you might reconsider some of your internet sources. That's all. There is a lot of anti-Catholic sentiment on the internet that you should be skeptical of. And do not use the Islamic mindset of faith-bashing found on that side of the world either -both you should be cautious of.
Jesus is known to not criticize any of those who have gathered in his name.
Yes an image is an image..You are obviously not a Westerner, and I'm sure English is not your first language. You seem to have an Islamic influence to you -as if you live in a place where many Muslims live.
...do you view the Cross as a graven image, or idolatry? Or what about images of Jesus like the following ones. Just wondering.

You will say it is not so ..
then i will ask you to renounce rome ,mary and pope.and you wont do it.and thus prove you dont gather in the name of Jesus alone.
...here is what the holy bible states...That is the most Islamic thing I've ever heard any Christian say... You're mixing up the koran and the bible.
(BTW, does that avatar of yours represent the Holy Spirit?)
.
Exactly. You wont renounce mary infavor of jesus alone..
You divide your worship.
You are of that very contradiction the thread is about.
And te contradiction is the topic.
Lets get back to it.
You cannot say ..you dont saypeople can keep sinning when the very organisation your a part of continues in the practice of idolizing bothcreated beings and images and the denies doing so.when globally every one can see them doing it.
But i guess your in america?
You dont know what rcc folks do in other countries perhaps ..and rome pope) NEVER denouces it ,never corrects it.he encourages it byhis pointed silence.
Go research it for yourself .instead of hanging arounf here throwing insults about and calling me muslim lol.
You do know that the veneration of Mary is not a requirement to be Catholic, right? There is no canon law that states you must venerate Mary in order to be Catholic. I do not pray to Mary, I do not say Hail Mary or ask Mary for help.
I go to Jesus and Jesus only. Yet, I am still Catholic.
...here is what the holy bible states...
4"You shall not make for yourself an idol,or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earthbeneath or in the water underthe earth. 5
Making an "image " of jesus is making an image of something in heaven.
A direct violation of the word of God.
Implying the word ofgod is koran abd making silly accusations at me.will not change how wrong your actions are.
those who love the lord Gd with all their hearts do not do unrighteous acts in opposition to him .. that IS the law of love .Then if that's the case, do you eat Kosher food? Do you detest images of fish..? You might as well call yourself a Messianic Jew then if you're going by both covenants in their entirety. Now that would something.
AND YET .. you , knowing it is wrong to do .. do not denounce it nor instruct them from doing what you know is sinful..
see the contradiction . though it is not the specific contradiction of the thread ..it is but another one of many .
those who love the lord Gd with all their hearts do not do unrighteous acts in opposition to him .. that IS the law of love .
not saying you love him with one hand and robbing with the other .
a person cannot say they love god and then do actions which are opposed to the very essence of his word and desire /
to do so would be to teach and live a contradiction .. which your doing
lol, nope . i am agreeing with the word of god .Dont play your games with me. What you're saying is that I do not love God in the first place -which is why, in your opinion, I "sin" against him. You have no right to judge my level of love for God. Only a fool would do such a thing.
EDIT> You do realize that you are condemning an entire Church of 2 billion as well as every Christian who does speak out against them as well..! That is the most radical form of idiocracy I have ever witnessed in my entire life.
back to the topic .
there are those that use the term .."i'm just a sinner saved " to excuse and appease their conscience for the sin they continue to return to and do .
it is a self deception to do so and it is a self deception that is encouraged by "Some " man made organisations who both agree with that stance and promote it .
but it is not mans doctrines by which we are judged but Gods standards.
sin is never excusable , never acceptable and never to be tolerated in a holy Spirit filed life .
and by the scripture has NO PLACE us .
he has done all that is required to set us free ..and empower us in the new state of being he brings us into ,that we no longer are prisoners to sin and as we are no longer prisoners .. are free to choose .
people need to stop trying to blame some one else for the sinful action they themselves chose to DO .
if you refuse to stop doing it ... you remake it your master and you will perish in it . they are "works of iniquity "and if you keep doing them Jesus will say to you .. "depart from me you worker of iniquity i Do not know you "
do not be deceived.
lol, nope . i am agreeing with the word of god .
we are not judged on the opinions of 2 billion people ..just the word of God .
truth is not based upon how many people "say it is truth ..it is based on the fact GOD said it . and he is not going to change it to match mans opinions .
i believe what the word of God states ,, plainly and unambiguously .All you do is condemn others while picking and choosing doctrine yourself. You then hide behind the shadows without stating what YOU believe. That is not Christ-like. It's shameful.
i believe what the word of God sates ,, plainly and unambiguously .
I am a deciple of the lord Jesus .born again by the Spirit of God ,made a new creation in Christ Jesus,learning to go and do what he does and to become like my master , who is the messiah , JESUS . the LORD . made a co-heir with Christ and becoming a partaker of the divine nature having His spirit in me ,the same Spirit that rose Christ from the dead -as is written .Then you are an Orthodox Jew and an Orthodox Christian?
