[FONT="]Yes the old tried refrain of "I'm not Protestant" yet you and all others protest.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I speak against all false doctrines.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Here are some things...
Jesus says call no man 'father', and that they are 'brothers' in Christ.
The Catholics call their brothers in Christ 'father'.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Then you sin if you call your Dad Father at anytime since he is just your brother.[/FONT]
[FONT="]According to your defense, you are a sinner.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Jesus was speaking of Spiritual things. Jesus was not speaking of not calling our earthly fathers ‘father’.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I do not call my brothers in Christ ‘father’. [/FONT]That is how I obey Jesus. How do you obey Jesus by not calling your brother 'father'?
[FONT="]Proof of this wild idea is needed[/FONT].
[FONT="]Are you saying you do not know that the Catholics popes take the seat of most importance. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The Catholics pope always takes the seat of most importance. He even has his feet kissed, and the scriptures speak against the men of God having their feet kissed, or just being bowed to, even for reverence.[/FONT]
[FONT="]See Acts 10:26 [/FONT]But Peter made him get up. "Stand up," he said, "I am only a man myself."
[FONT="]The Catholics say their popes are in the line of Peter, yet they do not do as Peter does.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The Catholic pope even has a special chair for himself.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Do a research on the Chair of “St. Peter”.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The Scriptures also declare whole households were baptized so Scripture must contradict itself. Of course the right explination is that Scripture does not say the only way to be baptized is to believe here you protestant add to Scripture[/FONT]
[FONT="]Not every household has infants. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Catholics do no such thing. Do you adore pictures of your children or loved ones? Better stop because your sinning. [/FONT]
[FONT="]You do not know what your own religion teaches. [/FONT]
[FONT="]I hope that you are truly appalled and will stop doing things that God says not to do.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Read this carefully…[/FONT]
[FONT="]The following paragraph is part of an article that explains further the acts Catholics perform.[/FONT]
[FONT="]In both East and West the reverence we pay to images has crystallized into formal ritual. In the Latin Rite the priest is commanded to bow to the cross in the sacristy before he leaves it to say Mass (“Ritus servandus” in the Missal, II, 1); he bows again profoundly “to the altar or the image of the crucifix placed upon it” when he begins Mass (ibid., II, 2); he begins incensing the altar by incensing the crucifix on it (IV, 4), and bows to it every time he passes it (ibid.); he also incenses any relics or images of saints that may be on the altar (ibid.). In the same way many such commands throughout our rubrics show that always a reverence is to be paid to the cross or images of saints whenever we approach them.
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Veneration of Images[/FONT]
[FONT="]Every time a Catholic walks in a church for Mass, they bow to the altar with the statues and images placed there. This is against God.[/FONT]
[FONT="]You see Catholics do not pray to statues the idea is silly, instead they pray to the saint or Christ who the statue represents. The statue is no more than a mere 3d picture[/FONT]
[FONT="]That is exactly what pagans says about their statues.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]No other such falsehoods as you been taught[/FONT]
[FONT="]You are afraid, and that is why you hide behind the teachings of the Catholic Church. If you want to know God’s Truth, then obey God’s Truth.[/FONT]
