@hingehead,
That was DIRECTED at YOU AND CEILI.
CEILI is the ONE BEING JUDGMENTAL AND CONDESCENDING here. CALLING ME A POOR EXCUSE FOR A CHRISTIAN OR WHATEVER CRAP SHE POSTED.
I'm NOT AN IDIOT because I DON'T CARE WHAT SOME NON-CHRISTIAN HISTORIANS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT CATHOLICISM.
MY FAMILY AND I ARE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS AND WE HAVE BEEN SAVED FOR YEARS. I KNOW THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD.
CATHOLICS ARE A CULT_ THEY DO NOT LSITEN TO GOD'S TAECHINGS. The Bible DOES NOT say anything about praying to Mary.
Jesus is Our Intercessor.
John 14:6 - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
CATHOLICS try to alter the Bible-
Deut. 4:2- Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.
NOWHERE in the Bible does it say to confess your sins to a priest and ask the priest to pardon them-you are supposed to CONFESS THEM TO GOD AND LET GOD DO THAT.
CATHOLICISM IS A CULT.
