Chiwahli, I am afraid you do not understand the English word "Pray" You have equated "prayer" with "worship" Because many Protestants only address God in prayer, they often equate "prayer" with "worship" & use this error to misjudge Catholic practice. (1)This is bad English. What does the word...

"If you die tonight?"........and if you are with God, & closer to God?.......will you suddenly stop praying for those whom you pray for today! To Cartholic & Orthodox that would seem very odd. When you are with God in heaven you would be perfected in love & can now offer "the prayers of a just...

Some Unbiblical PRACTICES. (1)Sunday School (2)Altar Calls (3)Accepting divisions & rebellions & Church "democracy" (4)"Bible" studies. (5)Accepting Jesus as your personal saviour All good things in themselves (apart from 3.) but all unbiblical. They all spring from a "Tradition" that is in...

(1)I am still waiting for you to show me;... Where "in-the-Bible" is says that "everything-that-is-true-is-in-The-Bible"? Or I have to "show you from The Bible"? Sola Scriptura is "man-made-baseless-assertion" It is clearly denied many times wthin the scripture it pretends to honour. But its...

(1)I am still waiting for you to show me;...Where "in-the-Bible" is says that "everything-that-is-true-is-in-The-Bible". Or I have to "show you from The Bible". Sola Scriptura is "man-made-slogan" It is clearly denied in the scripture it pretends to honour. (2) That said, The creation & use of...

But every "interpretation-of-scripture" is a "human opinion". It can be very frustating discusing with Protestants who constantly move the goalposts on literal exegesis.....to fit their Tradition! The most insistently literal passage in the New Testament is "The Bread of Life Discourse" ( John...

(1)By what authority do you say Joel Osteen's interpretation-of-scripture is false; and your interpretation-of-scrpture is true? Are not all Protestants created equal? Are they not all equally entitled to claim Holy-Spirit-guidance in equal priesthood of all believers? (2)Who "represents the...

Quite right you just don't know what you're talking about. You are looking (& interpreting) with you prejudice-goggles on. You are playing to a prejudiced gallery inviting agreement. But you did not look carefully enough. In almost all of those images you notice Mary is Praying (hands joined or...

But how do you know which writings are scripture? Nowhere in The Bible does this selected Library of Books (we call The Bible) tell us what books it should contain! So you say you only "accept inspired scripture" but nowhere inside "inspired scripture" does it tell you which books are...

Are you saying The Holy Spirit would have "overshadowed Mary," conceiving a child with her, the very Son-of-God .....without her consent....or against her consent. Have you any idea what heinous crime you are accusing God of???

Yes I am about to wade through thousands of documents to prove every single one doesn't say anywhere therein what you vaguely insinuate without any precision. I would need about 52 volumes to prove what isn't there! Moreover your previous "interpretations" of Catholic works are biased; reading...

The moment you posit a Church of the good/saved ....it is invisible....for they are known only to God. (Protestant theories about Church) The moment you have a visible, concrete, identifiable, organism/institution you will find it comprises wheat & tares; good & bad fish. (Catholic Church) The...

The Catholic Church does not claim any " possession and power over who does and does not go to Heaven" at all! They will not even say Hitler, Stalin or The Bad Thief is in Hell. Peter's instructions were true but not meant to be exhaustive there... In 3 Gospels a rich man asks Jesus.... "What...

Could you show me the verse then that justified the demand

I was talking about truth, not sin. I did not say errors such as "Health-&-Wealth" etc made Protestants not Christians. Where did you read that? That would be against Catholic teaching. They are still Christians if validly baptised. I was talking solely about Jesus own Church "The pillar &...

You say "The Holy Universal Church of Christ is the collective body of all who believe and follow HIS ways." Jesus body (His Church) is like His body (From Mary) INCARNATE. Both Invisible AND visible. You describe the insvisible Church (of the "saved") But that is NOT the Church of The Gospels...

Excuse me Please, before you insist on this demand, you must first show me in scripture where it says "everything that is true is in scripture". or "everything is in The Bible" In fact scripture contradicts your Sola Scriptura assumptions in many many places. (1)"Sola Scriptura" (Bible-alone)...

(1)You couldn't resist the false "association", with the OT mention of a "Queen of Heaven" Goddess. That was Hislop's style....false-associations. There are OT mentions of Gods, Prophets, & Kings that are "unfavourable" so that proves Jesus is what? (2) Jesus promised to "Lead His Church into...

I live in England. Our national anthem includes the words (relating to the Queen) "long to reign over us" That does not prove we worship the Queen. We know the difference. You do not seem to appreciate these distinctions & categories. And there is a long tradition in Eastern & Western...

"Hail Mary full of grace.".....is scripture There is often confusion caused by the different understandings of what "To Pray" means. "To pray" originally meant "ask earnestly, beg, entreat," (See https://www.etymonline.com/word/Pray) Because Protestants *only* "ask God",.... the word "pray" has...
