It's my understanding that any religion that teaches anything that is against the Scriptures is a false religion, i.e. anti-Christian! This article is not for the purpose of judging anyone in particular but only for revealing error (sin), via the Word of God!



Overview of the Seven Sacraments

Sacrament Description


Baptism Cleanses a person from original sin and welcomes them into the Church.
Only confession of sins to God cleanses one from sin, and "all unrighteousness" (1Jn 1:9).

Confirmation Strengthens the baptized person in their faith, typically performed by a bishop.
Baptism does not affect any type of power, it only reveals obedience of Christ's command to “baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Mat 28:19. It gives encouragement, but no attributed power.

Eucharist Also known as Holy Communion (or Transubstantiation), it is the central rite of Catholic worship, involving the body and blood of Christ.
This is one of the most anti-Christian doctrines, in that it assumes, during the Mass, that the Lord Jesus literally enters the implement of the Body (for re-sacrificing), and the Blood literally becomes the implement of His Blood.

Penance (Reconciliation) Allows individuals to confess sins and receive forgiveness, restoring their relationship with God.
Only if we confess our sins to God can there be forgiveness (1Jn 1:9).

Anointing of the Sick Offers comfort and healing to those who are seriously ill or near death.
Only if requests are made to God can He possibly heal.

Holy Orders The sacrament through which men are ordained as deacons, priests, or bishops for service in the Church. If anyone believes any of the before mentioned Catholic teachings, they are without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and do not possess any godliness.

Matrimony The covenant between a man and a woman, establishing a lifelong partnership in love and faith.
God does not grant authority to anyone to marry people who are unsaved and absent of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

–Wikipedia



This final doctrine isn’t a sacrament, but is significant enough to mention. If you look in a dictionary for the term, Immaculate Conception, it will define it as "a doctrine of the Catholic Church, that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin." It is stated in Scripture that, “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Ro 3:23).

So, your point of "Hidden Doctrine" is that some doctrines commonly taught actually include something that is not biblical?

If so--yes, that is very true!

It is great that it doesn't go against scripture.

Hi, yes, and there is much false teaching within the Catholic Church; and I would think many members are not aware of the errant teachings.

False being something you disagree with. It must be nice to go around knowing everything which is and isn't true.

Wrong.
False is something that does not line up with scripture.

People take a personal interpretation of scripture and declare that true and call those with whom they disagree false. That interpretation is the result of their own bias from experience and the make your doctrine salad bar of theology from various others who have done the same.

Don't you have anything better to do Netchaplain than to create hatred between Christian brothers?
WHY do you do this?
Why does any Christian do this?

Every single "error" you posted above is not an error.
There is biblical support for each and every sacrament.

Let's go through them:

the green will be mine.....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sacrament Description from your OP


Baptism Cleanses a person from original sin and welcomes them into the Church.
Only confession of sins to God cleanses one from sin, and "all unrighteousness" (1Jn 1:9).

WHAT THE BIBLE STATES:

1 Peter 3:21
21 Corresponding to that,
baptism now saves you-not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience -through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Acts 2:38
38And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins,

Mark 16:16
16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,

Baptism washes away ALL our sins.
JESUS commanded that we be taught the new religion and that we be baptized.

It is YOU that is going against scripture.


---------------------------------------------------------

Confirmation Strengthens the baptized person in their faith, typically performed by a bishop.
Baptism does not affect any type of power, it only reveals obedience of Christ's command to “baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Mat 28:19. It gives encouragement, but no attributed power.


WHAT THE BIBLE STATES

You missed quite a few verses Netchaplain:

Romans 6:3-4
3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?

4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.

Acts 2:38
...be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.


Galatians 3:27
27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

John 3:5
5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless * one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot * enter into the kingdom of God.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eucharist Also known as Holy Communion (or Transubstantiation), it is the central rite of Catholic worship, involving the body and blood of Christ.
This is one of the most anti-Christian doctrines, in that it assumes, during the Mass, that the Lord Jesus literally enters the implement of the Body (for re-sacrificing), and the Blood literally becomes the implement of His Blood.


THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE STATES

John 6:52-55
52 Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?"
53 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless * you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.
54 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
55 "For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink
.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Penance (Reconciliation) Allows individuals to confess sins and receive forgiveness, restoring their relationship with God.
Only if we confess our sins to God can there be forgiveness (1Jn 1:9).


THIS IS WHAT JESUS STATED:

John 20:21-23

21 So Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 "
If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained
."

and I suppose you don't know the history of confession.
So much information is lacking and yet you would post this thread.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Anointing of the Sick Offers comfort and healing to those who are seriously ill or near death.
Only if requests are made to God can He possibly heal.

WHAT THE BIBLE STATES:

James 5:14
14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holy Orders The sacrament through which men are ordained as deacons, priests, or bishops for service in the Church. If anyone believes any of the before mentioned Catholic teachings, they are without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and do not possess any godliness.

Instead YOU,,,who does not accept ALL of the New Testament,,,
and who seeks to divide Christianity.....
YOU possess godliness I suppose.

Matrimony The covenant between a man and a woman, establishing a lifelong partnership in love and faith.
God does not grant authority to anyone to marry people who are unsaved and absent of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

–Wikipedia

Wow. I'm not even commenting on the Matrimony.
This is not even believed by Protestants.





This final doctrine isn’t a sacrament, but is significant enough to mention. If you look in a dictionary for the term, Immaculate Conception, it will define it as "a doctrine of the Catholic Church, that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin." It is stated in Scripture that, “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Ro 3:23).

I suppose it would make more sense for God to place HIS SON,,,,
GOD
in the body of a sinful woman.

Aha, a doubter.
I am not a doubter. To believe that you have all the answers and have it all 100% correct with no bias is absolutely arrogant.

If I were to post a series of theological issues, you could single out a correct interpretation? Do you really think that?

Any involvement with the Holy Spirit.?

Yes, I would speculate if you believe your views and interpretations of scripture are 100% correct... you might be tuned into someone else.

I do like what you are saying here... it's like "It takes two." Very true, and yes that is a huge problem...very much on topic.

However, whatever side one takes--or worse if takes no side and denies all--it is important that we all leave room in our position taking for God to continue to do what He always does, as He does not change. Which is to say, God is still speaking in His way--which biblically is: directly, softly or in power, and through people of His choosing. In other words, in whatever we may believe or even think we know, we need to leave room to be corrected. Correction is biblical. And God is still working and does not change.
