Archbishop Fulton Sheen once wrote: “There are not over a hundred people in the United State who hate the Roman Catholic Church; there are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church.”
I was one of those who hated because of what I wrongly believed about the Catholic Church. The reason I had these beliefs was due to being told what to believe about the Catholic Church from those who were told what to believe about the Catholic Church. No one was willing to find out what the bottom line was concerning the Catholic Church. Everything said about the Church was taken as truth while it seemed no one was delving into what the truth really was.
What about these Catholics? They worshipped Mary. They had a religion but not a relationship with Jesus Christ. They said they believed in God but really their belief couldn’t be the same, could it? The Bible says in James 2:19 KJV “Thou believest that there is one God; Thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble”.
So do Catholics have a belief such as the devils? When most Catholics are asked if they have been “born again” or “have accepted Christ as their Savior”, their main response is “I believe in God” or “I am a good person”, or “I’m Catholic”. Also, they have all these rituals, Saints, Statues and what about the Pope is he really standing in for God? Another big item, are they cannibals when they eat the bread and drink the wine during communion? Why do they leave Jesus on the cross, don’t they realize Jesus has risen from the dead?

You mean like this universal statement.
I hope the irony is not lost on the prots.
Bennett is a joke.
I watched the one with the former Catholic/ former knight of Columbus. As a 4th Degree Knight I can tell you he didn’t know anything about the degrees or ceremonies surrounding them. Why should i take his word for anything? Should I believe the failings of a man based on the testimony of his ex-wife?
I can assure you that a statement purporting to speak for all those on FR is ALWAYS wrong.
You mean like the prots that Ordain women, support abortion and gay Marriage.
“The word is found in scripture 34 times. Now you want to twist what was said?”
No, I’m not twisting anything. You are. The word “Bible” - which is a proper noun - appears NO WHERE IN SCRIPTURE. It never has. It never will. Even the examples you posted clearly are not “Bible”. What part of that do you not understand? If Bible was in the Bible you would be able to show me a passage that actually says Bible. You can’t show a single one. Not one.
What is that supposed to mean?
They just follow Catholics like Pelosi, Biden, Kennedy, Kerry, et el.
I guess that when Jesus said "it is written....", that doesn't mean anything to you??
So now my faith is demoted to bystander status?
And you dont think you are a bit full of yourself?
Isnt pride still a sin?
Leviticus?
““If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.”
so when do we get started?
Ignorance of the origin of the word bible is rather juvenile.
Richard warns Catholics because he has a great love for them and he knows they have been duped. That’s no joke! Ignore him at your own peril. He has helped many people see and understand the dangers of Rome, but more importantly, the truth of the gospel and the way of salvation.
Here’s a link to John MacArthur’s eight part series “The Heresy of Catholicism.”

I appreciate Catholic FReepers for continually providing opportunities to counter the Roman system.
When you get into the New Testament and the New Covenant we can talk.
BTW The language you used in that post is not allowed in the religion forum and reflects rather poorly on those who use it.
“Ignorance of the origin of the word bible is rather juvenile.”
I know about the origin of the word. I also know that it is a proper noun. If someone pretends that a proper noun isn’t a proper noun, that’s worse than juvenile. It’s deceitful.
Irony again, This is MY body.
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book (βιβλία - biblia - NOUN) was opened, which is the book (βιβλία - biblia - NOUN) of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books (βιβλία - biblia - NOUN), according to their works.
Once baptised a Catholic always a Catholic right?
