I've met some Jehovahs Witnesses like that. The basis of their entire faith seems to be based on battling Catholicism. It's sad.
They could be spending all that time doing something good instead.
You know what is really interesting Landon....every Catholic I have ever known, places the Church and Tradition OVER and above the Word of God.
Why is that you think?
Example:
You believe that Mary was of an IMMACLATE CONCEPTION = born with no sin and then assummed to heaven.
However, and pay attention now....there is not one single Scripture that even suggests such a thing. That idea is purely a concept of MAN.
It came from.......Pope Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus, December 1854 =
" “The blessed Virgin Mary to have been, from the first instant of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, in view of the merits of Christ Jesus the Savior of Mankind, preserved free from all stain of original sin”.
This opinion from a MAN allowed her to be the “second Eve” to give birth to the “second Adam”.
The problem with the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is that it is not taught in the Bible. Even Catholics admit that Scripture does not directly teach the Immaculate Conception. The Bible nowhere describes Mary as anything but an ordinary human female whom God chose to be the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ.
