"Why don’t you take your anti catholic nasty comments somewhere else..they would be MOST welcome on DU!

go practice your “christianity” your own way, leave others alone..unless you consider your criticisms your form of evangelization."

The great majority of threads around here are begun by folks who wrongly claim Rome's superiority. The threads extol the virtues of a "pope", the number of "Tiber-swimmings", or some kooky sighting of Mary on a pancake. But, irrespective of what it believes about itself, the Roman Catholic Church does not teach biblical Christianity. It teaches a tradition-controlled "religion" akin to modern Judaism 2.0.

Whenever there are "priests" involved (sacerdotalism), papalism (chief priest), sacraments (sacrificing), indulgences, purgatory, genuflecting, absolution, etc. there is a return to law and religion. The RCC in many ways mimics the misunderstanding that the Jews held of the Mosaic Law in the first century AD and thus copies it with ceremony, ritual, tradition (Mishna & Midrashim). This overlay has led it away from the truths Paul explains in the very Book the RCC claims to have delivered to the world. Yet, another error it has made.

Those FReepers who understand the message of the Scriptures, do not wish to be "nasty". At least none that I am aware of. We wish to set the record straight pointing out the error of the Roman doctrines and attempting to offer the alternative of Jesus Christ, alone. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and that not of yourselves...

Now, several RCs do get nasty. Perhaps they are threatened. I don't know. But, we will continue to present the truth with the hope that if God has elected them and permits them to see the truth, they will escape the clutches of Rome and find freedom in Christ. But, that is His work not ours.

Nevertheless, just as Paul continued to present the Gospel in the face of the Judaizers, we will continue to present the Gospel in the face of the RCC.
