pagan rituals, idol worship

We don't have them.

Priesthood which Christ ended

He ended one, started another.

If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? (Hebrews 7:11)

This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me. (Luke 22:19)

Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood. (1 Tim. 4:14))

traditions taught by men

hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle. (2 Thessalonians 2:14)

praying to the departed

With them and for them.

They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted: [38] Of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, in mountains, and in dens, and in caves of the earth. [39] And all these being approved by the testimony of faith, received not the promise; [40] God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us. [1] And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us: [2] Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 11-12)

he should offer of the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar, which is before the throne of God. (Rev. 8:3)

Mary worship

Mary is not God so we don't worship her. We ask for her prayers.

Thank you very much for trying. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

You can be assured Annalex if I had questions about the catholic faith I would not seek your resources for clarification, or for that matter opinion of...For Pulling scripture out of context to support ones beliefs, and these dictated by leaders of a church organization is common to many who have strayed from the centrality of Christ Jesus.

The scriptures you have presented here have many times been explained for the truth they represent and the correct context in which they are intended...for you...but to no avail as you appear unable to be receptive to the truth unless it is sanctioned by your church first and foremost....as in the past.

Some people look for a church...others for the Christ and find the fellowship of believers with Christ as the head of that body....... Some cannot believe the truth apart from their church....others know the truth and their church reflects that truth.

What is truth? Christ and the centrality of all there is about Him.

I can see no relationship in your claim to the Priesthood begun by Jesus in your first two references (Hebrews 7:11 and Luke 22:19) and only a tortured redefinition of the Greek in the Latin Vulgate and Douay Rheims (1 Timothy 4:14).

For many other translations look here:

1 TIMOTHY 4:14
