Yes....Roman Catholics need to reject the false teachings of their denomination and turn to Christianity.
Will you publicly affirm that belief in Christ, and only Christ, is what saves you?
Will you publicly denounce the use of idols and praying to the image those idols represent and relying upon things like a scapular, medal, etc to save you from the hell-fire?
Yep. But what does Rome teach? Turn to “Mary”.
I quoted Roman Catholic sources and compared them to the Scriptures and found Rome’s sources and beliefs lacking.
Rome has never been my home. Why would I join a sect full of heresy bordering on rank apostasy? Rome has tortured the Christian religion to the point is barely recognizable. Return to Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
That isn’t credible.
No true Catholic source would claim that Mary is ‘divine’ in nature.
We are all to heed the words of Our Lord when He tells us that on that day of judgment, we shall be required to give an accounting for every idle word. Your comment indicates you are not familiar with early Church history. It is very interesting.
Your comments indicate you are not very familiar with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is very interesting.
The prayer said she was. See, this is the problem with Rome. Words have to be redefined from their meaning to accommodate Rome’s errors.
Are you joking?
Which prayer?
Far from it. Anyone who can defend the Roman doctrines of salvation by works, with no assurance of salvation, extra biblical and heretical teachings about Mary, and many others does not understand the simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. Telling me I don’t understand church history when you know nothing about me is a joke. But I can judge your understanding of the Gospel by the doctrines your denomination professes and which you defend.

part of speech: adjective
Do Roman Catholics not understand grammar?
Uhhh.....the one at the end of the article perhaps.....
“August Queen of Heaven, sovereign queen of Angels, you who at the beginning received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan, we beseech you humbly, send your holy legions so that, on your orders and by your power, they will track down demons, fight them everywhere, curb their audacity and plunge them into the abyss. Who can be compared to God? Oh good and tender Mother, you will always be our love and our hope. Oh divine Mother, send the Holy Angels and Archangels to defend me and to keep the cruel enemy far from me. Holy Angels and Archangels defend us, protect us. Amen.”
I listed 46 alternate meanings of the adjective divine, gave 3 examples of common use which are not limited to your one definition, and that's the best you've got?
Who is resorting to personal attacks now?
Love,
O2
You listed synonyms. The part of speech used in the quote is an adjective. You’re attempting to change the part of speech as the adjective confirms what Christians say about Rome with regards to Mary. She’s been elevated to a goddess like status.
synonym
[sin-uh-nim]
noun
a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another in the language, as happy, joyful, elated. A dictionary of synonyms and antonyms (or opposites), such as Thesaurus.com, is called a thesaurus.
For the grammatically challenged, this means that the word ‘divine’ can be used to convey any of those 46 meanings. There is not only one strict meaning. The meaning in this context is much more likely to be ‘holy’, since all Catholics know that Mary is not God, just that she is in heaven with God.

But this is so typical of Rome to have to play with the natural meaning of words and actions to justify their false teachings.
