There are faithful, Sola Scriptura churches where none of that happens.
You seem to have trouble making the distinction between churches that cling to Scripture and those that have fallen away.
Look up fallacies and see which one you are guilty off.
The Catholic Church has not abandoned scripture for the sake of political-correctness in a sinful world. Sadly, way too many protestant churches have sold out to the forces of darkness.
The Roman Catholic church has usurped the authority of Scripture with it’s precious tradition.
“The Catholic Church has not abandoned scripture for the sake of political-correctness in a sinful world. Sadly, way too many protestant churches have sold out to the forces of darkness”
Try replying to this FACT.
OK.
Scripture teaches that there are those who will fall away from what Scripture has taught.
Check FR Keyword YBPDLN for some examples.
Some protestants have sold their soul for a dollar. You proved my point. Thanks.
No. Scripture told us this would happen.
Look inside your own faith group. There are some saved, many who are not.
Contrary to the Papist position people are saved by God, not their denominational affiliation.
The Catholic Church is the granddaddy of all Christian faiths. It alone holds the fullness of the Christian faith.
It holds nothing.
It has been so distorted that the “church fathers” wouldn”t recognize it.
NKP_Vet, what you are describing are the Nola Scriptura churches, not Sola. It is what happens when traditions of man outweigh the testimony of God.
Quote-The Catholic Church is the granddaddy of all Christian faiths. It alone holds the fullness of the Christian faith.
And maybe it is all counterfeit...birthed from the false teachings and practices and tradition that trump scripture. A cheap copy that sounds like the Messiah of Israel but, when the rubber meets the road, it is more worship of Tammuz than Torah. More sun worship than True worship of the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and His only begotten Son.
A mighty great deception by the father of all lies, and master counterfeiter.
Just the greco roman latin mother church and her daughter offspring worshiping the greco roman latin counterfeit savior, taught to them by the mother.
a savior born on december 25 and raised on easter sunday-
Scripture says ‘instead ofs’ and ‘in place of’ messiahs would come. And the first reformers stated boldly they believe the papacy as representing pseudo-messiah..
A counterfeit savior, born on a substitute day, killed on a substitute day, raised on a substitute day...given a substitute name..
All substitutes to what is actually in scripture.
(Kind of why passover and ‘easter’ have no linkage-cant mess with that ancient sun worship!)
Mother and daughter never look in the mirror.. they spend too much time with it pointed the other way...
Maybe satan really deceives the whole world, like Scripture says..
with his very own counterfeit savior-and his very own counterfeit churches spreading his messages and worship practices, all the while appearing as genuine, claiming they are the True church..
That would be quite ironic but so eternally tragic.
Come out of her, my people....
What if all we ever learned were just counterfeits to the genuine? And we have just inherited lies?
Jeremiah 16:19
Oh Yah,my strength, and my fortress, and my
my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit
Ask, seek and knock... prove ALL things..
Are you a Catholic or have you ever been a Catholic?
Why do you ask?
Because you seem to think you know a hell of a lot about the Cathecism of the Catholic Church. If you were never Catholic, why on would care and why on earth would it bother you.
You seem quite interested in what I think and why.
“Although tradition does not rule our interpretation, it does guide it. If upon reading a particular passage you have come up with an interpretation that has escaped the notice of every other Christian for two-thousand years, or has been championed by universally recognized heretics, chances are pretty good that you had better abandon your interpretation.” – R. C. Sproul
Excellent quote from Sproul.
Simply put, they don’t.
Or rather they do not in the way that later Catholics did. Mary has always held a special place, as the most blessed woman (she was the mom to Jesus). But the later traditions developed over time.
For instance, the Orthodox had a Tomb of St Mary. They believed she died, while many Catholic believed she did not.
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8-9
