Roman church errors and inventions

What is your view on syncretism ?

Mine would be:
"It has a wing, but not a prayer."

I would say it is a lot like eating Japanese/Chinese food without chopsticks.

Ok, so where shall we start this. Someone want to pick something out and we go from there? Here's a list to consider:

Mother and child worship
Mary worship
Saints, saints' days & praying to saints
Obelisks, temples & towers
The cross
'Holy' relics
Religious frauds such as indulgences
Peter as the first pope
Pagan origins of the Papal office
Infallibility of popes
Celibacy of the priesthood
Mass & practices therein
Religous festivals, such as fish on Good Friday
Christmas.

Now while not all of these are exclusive to the catholic system, most are. So who wants to pick one?

I could do without the "mary" veneration myself as I don't want to stoop down to the level the Muslim do...

Synopsis
Why do Muslims revere the Virgin Mary? This book throws light on the reasons for the importance of Mary as a spiritual figure in Islam. It provides the background for an understanding of her symbolic importance to Muslim men and women, both as an individual and together with her son Jesus. It poses such questions as: Is Mary to be regarded not only as the highest woman in all creation, but is she also to be counted among the prophets who received revelation?

Hmmm well i STILL think that some of the principles and concepts That God put on the jews still apply to us

As for Zoroastrianism its a cultural thing , perhaps even a form of syncretism... Jews have angels Zorastrians have Angels , Zorastrians always portray thier angels particularly thier God with Wings ... Jews didnt start Portraying Angels with wings until after the captivity...

Some principles (10 Commandments), but not all (613 Laws).

What is your view on syncretism ?

Ecumenism. However, can be mistakenly used and applied in many cases.

I think each and every one of these could be a tread within itself.

However, with the relics, remember in the OT when a dead man was thrown into the tomb of, I believe, Elijah and the man was resurrected.
Thus, relics are biblical.

 

[mont974x4]

relics are idols due to how they are used.

 

[mont974x4]

chopsticks again? Best start whitling yourself a set.

Myself, I'd go heathen and use a fork instead of starving. LOL

relics are not worshipped

 

[holdon]

relics are not worshipped

So, they are worthless.

Yeah, I remember when we were younger, our parents would put out one bowl of cereal and have each one of us 4 kids use a fork so we could pass the bowl of milk around.

 

[Montalban]

So, they are worthless.

Do you worship the Bible?

No? It's worthless, then!

 

[jckstraw72]

ummm no. lots of things are useful but not worshipped .... such as the Bible for one ...

Wow, I go through over a gallon of milk a day.
Wonder how that would go over at my house.

(I already add a bit of water sometimes when they're not looking lol)

 

[mont974x4]

We go through 3-4 gallons a week. I keep threatening to buy a cow.

So much said in such few words.

Matthew 24:3 He is yet sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples toward-came to Him according to own, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what the Sign of the Thy ParousiaV <3952>, and of the together-finish/sun-teleiaV <4930> of the Age?'

1 Thessalonians 3:13 Into the stand-fast of ye, the hearts/kardiaV blameless in together-holiness before the God and Father of us in the Parousia <3952> of the Lord of us, Jesus Christ, with all of the holy-ones of Him.

You should, then your kids would not be getting all the estrogen and other hormones that come in processed milk.

I highly recommend doing a study on the effects that estrogen in milk, corn products, soybean products and other processed foods has been having on kids in America the past 25 years.

Have you noticed the large number of girls who enter puberty much earlier than in the past?

Have you notices the growing number of effiminate looking boys?

Do the study, there are lots of studies now that are making the connection.

I kicked a cow once. The Doctor said I was 'lactose intolerant'
