And where in scripture does it tell you to do that?

More eisegesis by the look of things. No where does it say that you had to go into a confessional box and confess them to a priest. In fact it says we are to confess our sins one to another (James), not to a priest.Once again it is an imposition of the rc church to control people.

Since when did God make the pope the leader of the church. The scripture makes it quite clear that Jesus is the head of the church and it is his church, not ours. The pope is nothing more that the top dog of the rc church and speaks for no one outside of it. In Ephesians 4:11 Jesus gave...

Now I understand why the rc church has no problem with priests molesting boys.

No he didn't. There are two greek words for 'do this'. One means "keep on doing this" and one means "do this once". The greek word here means "do this once".Apart from the fact that he didn't say it had to be done by a priest dressed up in woman's clothes and that there was something magical...

I don't live under the old covenant and doesn't the ten commandments say thou shalt not make a graven image??????And doesn't the New Covenant say that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit1Co 3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1Co 6:19...

The word in this passage is 'eunuchs' which in the greek means a castrated man. Do I take it that all priests are castrated? Apart from the fact that this passage is to do with marriage and divorce. Jesus said ALL men cannot receive what he was teaching. There is no mention at all about priests...

Don't make me laugh. You are very good at avoiding the truth as these verses show.Act 4:12 And there is salvation in no other One; for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (No mention of earing it)Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ...

And the pope of the day wanted to raise money to build St Peter Basilica so he told his priests to go out and sell indulgences and give the impression that it would help them gain their salvation.

Non its not. It is as old as the hills. Having worked in the Catholic system, I have had plenty of opportunity to observe what goes on. As in the pricipal of one school I taught in was a priest. When they had communion, he put on a white dress.When the pope visited Australia for world youth day...

"And don't call ANYONE on earth 'Father,' for you have only one Father, the one in heaven." Please note ANYONE, not just scribes and pharisees. Sound like you are good at eisegesis. The word teacher is not in this passage. Teacher in greek is "didaskalos". The greek words use 'master' and...

No it doesn't. It says that the Holy Spirit would guide us INTO all truth. John 16:13 Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own accord, but will speak whatever he hears and will declare to you the things that are to come.From your...

You mean the one that keeps changing as in priests were allowed to marry then they are not; as in indulgences can buy you salvation now you don't need them; as in John Wycliffe who was martyred because he printed the bible and gave it the common man and Vatican 2 encouraged the common man to...

I know, but the originator of it was the Holy Spirit. Without that, it is just a book of words. "Nonetheless, full dogmatic articulations of the canon were not made until the Council of Trent of 1546 for Roman Catholicism,[28] the Thirty-Nine Articles of 1563 for the Church of England, the...

As I said, I read every word of your post. Your church teaches humility do they. And what's humble about catholics having to kneel before the pope and cardinals and kiss their hand or feet?Jesus said if you want to be great you have to be a servant. A servant doesn't have his hand or feet...

If the RC church is guided by the Holy Spirit, why has it ignored so much of scripture and invented so many things contrary to scripture?And of course we won't talk about all the splinters in the RC church.

Adstar, I don't want to steal your thunder as you are doing a very good job, but I have to say in response to this statement and you might add further to it, who assembled the bible is totally irrelevant. Who wrote it is what makes the bible what it is. The bible is its own best commentary and...

Or is it a case of you don't want to know the truth? FYI I read every word in your post. What can you see? Now I am going to ask you did you read my post. Paul said he was the least of the saints. Precisely, that is what the scriptures say, so when were they cannonised, who by and what miracles...

Yes if you want me to but I would rather let the scriptures speak for themselves.A few verses about saints. Note that there were thousands of them in the NT church; there is no mention of any of them being canonised; no mention of any of them doing two miracles; no mention of them being put on...

I know that the RC church has been telling us for years that they are the one true church, but that idea is not supported by scripture as the RC is never mentioned in the scriptures. in fact Paul made it quite clear he did not approve of denominations (factions in the Corinthian church) neither...
