        They believe the catholic church is the prostitute of Babylon and wants to start the new world order. The more hardline churches would probably accuse churches like of being corrupted by the jesuits
        Check out chic tracts they are wild stuff. I'm not if I believe the catholic church is the NWO but they definitely do some shady shit.

        My dude, that was a painting at a Washington 'catholic' University. Everyone knows American Catholicism is overseen by woke jesuits who hate their congregations. Just like every other American institution.

        I'll take having to put up with the old ladies who knitt me socks and jumpers every year complain about how the yanks are losing their way every Sunday, if it means I don't have to bow to a troony flag and listen to a 'pastor' tell me how much jesus wants me to give my kids hormone blockers.

    If you believe in good works being required for salvation you’re worshipping idols and not Christ. If you pray to dead people you’re worshipping idols not Christ. If you directly contradict the Bible when it comes to your religious ceremonies you worship idols not Christ. If you have idols all over your churches you worship idols not Christ.

            Seems like we believe the same things.

            Salvation is of faith, true. But since faith without works is dead, you could also that that faith is of works. Not that we can ever be perfect, and as such our works will never be enough, but that we try seems to be a required part to me.

            I'm not on either side in terms of caths vs prots, but it is very annoying to have prots say works is not a part of it, some even going so far as to say that doing works is equal to damnation. Especially when most prots are doing works, they just deny it. Possibly a semantics problem, but still, they should recognize that works are not evil, and also that they do them.

            Telling people that they have to do nothing but believe seems like it may lead to being told, "I never knew thee."

            The point is even in the bible the word 'worship' doesn't always mean worship in the sense of worshipping God. The same is with Mary and the saints and angels.

            I can't argue with that. That's the problem, there is no way I will convince you or you will convince me. But I have seen fake Catholics trying to demoralize. For instance I've heard someone claiming to be Catholic say that God isn't infallible, that can't be Catholic, right?

            >fake Catholics
            Yeah watch out for them.
            >You will know them by their works
            A lot of modern Catholics do not want to accept a few things. I'll explain.

            Yoga is a religion. Practicing yoga will lead you to hell. The church has taught for centuries, at least 900'years now. That heresy, apostasy and schism seperate one from the body of Christ. And someone who is not in the body cannot be pope.

            So if a "pope' falls into heresy he is no longer pope. This is how i know Pope Pius 12th was the last pope. Though i still attend latin mass with valid priests (traditional ordained) because sacraments are important.

            Yes, but even on a minor level it's worship. And yet, if you stop worrying about money and simply trust that somehow it will work out, "miraculously" it tends to work out. The Lord asks for a heart free of worry, doubt, guilt, shame, anger, etc. The secret places of the heart are what concerns Him most. And He comes like a lamb. If you are stressed can you convince a flighty animal that it is safe for it to come to you? No, you'd probably need a lasso. But, if you are entirely peaceful, you can call it and eventually it will come over to see what you are doing.

            This is among the things that the churches leave out of their sermons.

            Exactly, I've been in the congregation with ultra-vain protestant pastors, working as hard as they can to be received as cool to their congregations. But what can you do. What about the administration of the Sacraments, it's God's word and the faith of the adherent for you as well, or does the Priest have to be holy?

            “Under the Pope, people were very fervent in building churches . . . Now that the true religion is taught, and that the people are properly instructed concerning good works, everybody is cold, so much so that we cannot help being surprised at it.”

            But he did still call it 'true religion'. But, I get it. Protestantism isn't without its' faults. How could it be when man is born to sin.

            That's another thing that is left so woefully unexplained by the churches it's not even funny. It's not that playing with yourself is a sin. It's the thought behind it. There is not a secret held in the mind nor the heart that the Lord can't see. If you are beating your meat with the thought that you do so in secret it is denying the Lord, which moves you away from Him.

            You're literally going off something formed by hundreds of thousands of people over 2 millennia. Even the disciples vigorously debated and prayed over the correct direction to take. God has given few people true insight. That is why there have been so many schisms. Even amongst your own congregations.
            Believing that you alone can decide what should be taught is pride. A sin. Vanity.

            He probably means there are several references in the bible where Jesus is portrayed as the rock or the "chief cornerstone". During Dan's interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream, Jesus was literally the rock that destroyed the statue of the major civilizations of the world.
            So it's obvious that Jesus is referring to himself as the rock when he was talking to Peter.

            The problem is counting your prayers.....actually it is, vain repetition.
            The problem is wearing the thing advertising you do vain repetition as part of your worship of the God who said not to do the vain repetitions.

            Yes. But my point is if you are carrying a Bible openly then you are signaling "hey I might be praying even now!". Ultimately my point, though, is Ecclesiastes. All is vanity including arguing whether or not something is vanity. I have my gripes with the catholic church, but I have just as many concerns about the practices I've seen in protestant churches. And those problems overlap, to be honest. What I've seen is churches that only teach the letter of the law. Or mention the spirit but never really explain it. Or explain it but not teach people how to reach for it. The crux of the matter being that each individual church uses the prospect of being labeled a heretic as a means to prevent people from actually trying to grow towards God in a fruitful way. When was the last time you saw a church able to call the Holy Spirit into the room without a 6 man band or a choir?

            >each individual church uses the prospect of being labeled a heretic as a means to prevent people from actually trying to grow towards God in a fruitful way.

            All religions aside from Christianity come from Babylon. In fact, Catholics still use the statue of Mary holding Jesus which came from Samuramis holding Tamuz (the reincarnation of Nimrod). It was an incestuous relationship and a middle finger to God to mock the father, son, and holy ghost. You all have the nerve to call Mary the queen of heaven just like they did. Then you claim you're Christian. You're lost.

            False. Virtue signalling is telling people you pray and intentionally praying in places where others can see you.

            It was Mary herself who told us to pray the rosary.

            accurate.

            Oral tradition, of course, I mean Luther was a monk, and Catholics had a monopoly on the faith for centuries. Our God is truth, so we can't just throw out what's true over resentment.

            And now that I'm reading about it there is some extra biblical documentation. That and Jesus kind of told him he would be crucified in John 21.

            Not really it's historically one of the larger centers of maritime trade alongside Nagasaki, and deliberate efforts were made to avoid leveling Kyoto and Tokyo as to preserve Japan's cultural heritage. Its proximity to the southern tip of Japan made it the logical point to set up operations from the Philippines and Indonesia, plus we were largely confined to that region as a policy until the English conspired with the shogun to expel us after the end of the Sengoku Jidai. It's also the reason why Kyushu was a hotbed of rebellion in the subsequent years, notably the Catholic peasant uprising in the 1600s, which later became the catalyst for the Meiji revolution.

            Literally talmudic treachery levels of mental gymnastics.

            Same could be said of wearing a cross necklace or allowing someone to see you holding a Bible. Adhering to the letter of the law and ignoring the spirit thereof is eating of the leaven of the pharisee.

            A rosery only exists to pray with or as an accessory. The fact that they are seen outside of closets and such is your proof it's for vanity.
            As for cross necklaces, I agree. Carrying a Bible to read is fine but it's just a book, it's the ideas in the book that matter.

            Yes. But my point is if you are carrying a Bible openly then you are signaling "hey I might be praying even now!". Ultimately my point, though, is Ecclesiastes. All is vanity including arguing whether or not something is vanity. I have my gripes with the catholic church, but I have just as many concerns about the practices I've seen in protestant churches. And those problems overlap, to be honest. What I've seen is churches that only teach the letter of the law. Or mention the spirit but never really explain it. Or explain it but not teach people how to reach for it. The crux of the matter being that each individual church uses the prospect of being labeled a heretic as a means to prevent people from actually trying to grow towards God in a fruitful way. When was the last time you saw a church able to call the Holy Spirit into the room without a 6 man band or a choir?

      If you believe Jesus said "EVERLASTING LIFE" than you must know those who have gone before us are still alive. If you believe Jesus said "... shall never taste death" than you must know Mary, Peter, James, John, Irenaeus, Aphrahat, and your great great grandma are still alive. And when Jesus said "you MUST eat my flesh and drink my blood" you might want to consider attending a church which can provide that for you. And Jesus did mention "those who hear the word of God and DO IT" so you do realize "do it" implies action = work.

      Protestants are the original Satanists. Protestantism teaches that the church is a business model and that god loves you exactly as much as the property you own is worth. Protestants literally worship Mammon. Protestantism teaches that the poor are poor for being rotten sinners and the rich are rich as a reward for their moral superiority from god himself. Protestants know nothing about Christian history or Christian law. All they know it money.

            Well, since you're already Catholic most of my work is done. But the main redpill is that Judaism was created in toto during the struggle over who would control Alexander's empire after he died. Nobody had his natural leadership, so to justify their rule they looked to religion. They took Canaanite myths (basically local religion) and gave them structure based on Greek philosophy. In this new religion, society is run by priests "chosen by God" (for legitimacy) while awaiting the 'coming Messiah' (Philosopher-King from Plato).

      1. "Pray" literally means "ask". It does not mean worship. Centuries ago someone at a dinner table might say "pass the potatoes, I pray thee". Praying to saints does not equal worship. If you ask someone to pray for you, that's not worship. That's asking a friend to pray for you.
      2. "Contradict the Bible". Sola scriptura isn't even the Bible. A book which you don't understand by the way. Which group do you think is better equipped to interpret the Bible anyway? The Catholic Church, founded by Jesus with Peter as first pope, and which compiled the Bible in the first place? Or one of the thousands of Protestant schisms, some founded as late as the 20th century by proven false prophets, such as the SDAs or the so called JWs (both of whom think Jesus is just an archangel because they use an incomplete Bible, take poetic language literally, apparently can't read the whole Bible, and stupidly think there is only one archangel? The JWs even explicitly say they believe that Jesus isn't God.)
      Protestants just don't make sense. Some have their hearts in the right place. But many just seem to believe in talking smack on the Mother of God, talking smack on the real church, and many Protestants don't even believe in the Divinity of Christ. Go to any Catholic Mass and you will plainly see and hear the worship of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

          I literally pointed out at least one Protestant denomination that not only denies the Divinity of Christ, and two that claim that He and Michael are the same guy (despite scripture telling us that God never said to an angel "today I have begotten thee".) And many Protestants denigrate Mary and call the Hail Mary prayer blasphemy, despite it being mostly derived from the greeting which the archangel Gabriel gave to her when he made the Annunciation. This was after he had just recently struck the holy man Zechariah dumb for asking him a question. But to Mary he said: "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you." And proceeds to tell her that she has found favor with God and will be the mother of Jesus. I've never understood Protestants getting all crazy over Catholics loving Mary. We don't worship her, but we do love and respect her. And if a holy archangel showed her love and respect, maybe doofuses who think the church was "ackshually" delayed from being formed until the time of an insane heretic traitor from German decided to set up a heretical cult in the 1500s should stop kvetching that people like to have statues of her. These same Protestants likely have photos of beloved family members or even sports figures, but if they see a Catholic or Orthodox representation of the holy mother, they start screeching about "idolatry".

          no, because Catholics didn't exist until the 4th century.
          People don't understand, to the Romans, that Christian was as much an expletive as Black person is now.
          So Christians existed following the apostles and their selection through to Constantine. He started the catholic church.

          The First Council of Nicaea (/naJˈsiːə/; Ancient Greek: Νίκαια [ˈnikεa]) was a council of Christian bishops convened in the Bithynian city of Nicaea (now İznik, Turkey) by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in AD 325.

    The catholic/orthodox/many protestant churches teach works based salvation (a false gospel) and lead churchgoers into hellfire. The 11 minute video linked below in the post is the gospel that can save you from hell and get you into heaven if you believe it. You can't work your way to heaven by repenting of your sins, by giving your life to christ, by getting water baptized, or by doing the sacraments. Salvation is by believing the gospel, it has nothing to do with human works.

    The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ:

    Once Saved Always Saved - a MUST WATCH sermon for people doubting their salvation

      In Protestantism we call this 'Spiritual Counseling' also there are altar calls, the band is playing so no one else can hear you. Unless you want to do a circle group, it's also pretty healing.

      It's pharisee tier letter of the law pilpul. It provides a way to "let your secrets out" while keeping them secret. Meanwhile the secret places of the heart and mind are open books to the Lord so any thought concerning secrecy is sinful. To a degree at least. The real thing is that it makes the group the proxy. Group prayer is not a bad thing, neither is confessing in a group prayer, but one does not need a group to go to the Lord and ask forgiveness and counsel for how to avoid sinning like that again or to be helped to grow toward God. Anyone could do it, but as things stand most simply won't do it, so the church being the proxy is a sort of way to twist their arm to let others walk them through it. Not entirely a terrible thing but it is sad that the truth winds up being a complete mystery to these sorts because they are just unwilling to put in any effort towards growth.

      I've been exploring how to reach these types of people with pretty interesting success. A little bit of intercession goes a long way.

        You're only accountable to God, there's no point in confessing your sins to other people, confessing to God and then repenting to God is what you should be concerned with. Also God demands forgiveness from everyone, it seems like you want people to be resentful of the sinner as a punishment.

            In a word St. John’s Gospel and his first epistle, St. Paul’s epistles, especially Romans, Galatians, and Ephesians, and St. Peter’s first epistle are the books that show you Christ and teach you all that is necessary and salvatory for you to know, even if you were never to see or hear any other book or doctrine. Therefore St. James’ epistle is really an epistle of straw, compared to these others, for it has nothing of the nature of the gospel about it.4
            Though this epistle of St. James was rejected by the ancients, I praise it and consider it a good book, because it sets up no doctrines of men but vigorously promulgates the law of God.5

          Yes but in who's name should you be praying? What is the authority given?

          >>but one does not need a group to go to the Lord and ask forgiveness and counsel for how to avoid sinning like that again or to be helped to grow toward God.
          Yes, but again, how do you keep those things consistent? There are constant arguments about even translating to different current languages. Let alone getting context from something over a millennia ago.
          Believing that God has given you true insight while ignoring your own peers ignores the history and virtues of community. We each only have the capability to truly understand bits and pieces.
          Otherwise, all of the people who have the Holy Spirit in them (and there are many) would come to the same relative conclusion. That is not the case.

          From what I've seen people with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit tend to agree based on their level of growth and disagreements seem to only come from lower/higher levels of understanding having difficulty communicating across that gap. As for translations, one with the Spirit who also walks with God and has not just become lukewarm with the Spirit is not going to be hindered by any translation. The problem is that a backslider can turn around and pretend to still have the indwelling of the Spirit and the common folk don't have the discernment to notice the deceit.

            >>one with the Spirit who also walks with God and has not just become lukewarm with the Spirit is not going to be hindered by any translation.
            Sure, they won't be hindered. But how do you prevent the people that are given the flawed translation from being hindered? As you admitted, there are levels of understanding, and only God could overcome a flawed teaching once its out in the wild. A priesthood is a correcting force.
            >>The problem is that a backslider can turn around and pretend to still have the indwelling of the Spirit and the common folk don't have the discernment to notice the deceit.
            So it seems like random missionaries without any sort of accreditation or association isn't the answer. Fishermen take apprenticeships. They learn from others.
            The Holy Spirit gives you understanding through experiences in your life. We are not blessed enough to see the whole thing. Only inclinations something might be wrong or right.

            >im just going to continue being and adversary

            Instead of championing this structural priesthood that you are so happy to fellate why not start teaching the common moron that this level of understanding is within their grasp? And thus no priesthood needed because the High Priest is risen? Your doctrine is lousy with vile spirits.

        >>but one does not need a group to go to the Lord and ask forgiveness and counsel for how to avoid sinning like that again or to be helped to grow toward God.
        Yes, but again, how do you keep those things consistent? There are constant arguments about even translating to different current languages. Let alone getting context from something over a millennia ago.
        Believing that God has given you true insight while ignoring your own peers ignores the history and virtues of community. We each only have the capability to truly understand bits and pieces.
        Otherwise, all of the people who have the Holy Spirit in them (and there are many) would come to the same relative conclusion. That is not the case.

    Christianity is seeing an overwhelming resurgence thanks to deplorable footment, such Soros, Fink and (Insert israeli criminal here). They're doing incredible things for the wellbeing of the world. Obviously, not in their masters' favor. Organize locally, buy locally and get polically active. They only have this power because of Boomers not caring about anything other than what's on TV next week.

    People are moronic and egotistical at the same time. Every faction has people with this problem, they care more about their identity than what's important, following Christ.

    >Tell "once saved always saved" people that going to concert is IDOLATRY
    >They all start to demon screech "reee works salvationists, how dare you, you think you are sinlessly perfect?! heretic!!"

    Damn bro, just letting you know being a marvel fan and attending concerts to see your favorite music artist is idolatry. For real, this once saved always saved thing has to be false, those people behave like they are demon possessed sometimes
