With all due respect, you need your head examined.

You're right. It's healthy and uplifting for us to see the good and not wallow in the bad.

Indeed.

One either believes the Bible, which is the word of God, or one believes the Catechism, which is the word of man. The doctrines of Catholicism are so deep into contradictions of the scriptures that I believe it can be argued that it is NOT a Christian denomination. Of course, the reader can form...

If you're ordering me to no longer discuss Catholic doctrines I will happily oblige you and take such discussions elsewhere. Although I must ask which other doctrines you not want discussed here so that I don't again offend you.

Brother, why do you believe that Jesus and the apostles FAILED?

The topic is the Catholic Church. Are we required to refute every other denomination in order to question the veracity of its doctrines?

Which is something that we cannot do for ourselves.

None of those remotely compares to claiming that certain works must be done for salvation as Jesus's sacrifice on the cross is insufficient.

Maybe. If so they're unbiblical too.

I asked Grok what the Catechism teaches regarding salvation. Here is its response. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) provides a comprehensive teaching on salvation, rooted in Catholic theology. Below is a concise summary of its key points:1. Definition and Purpose of SalvationSalvation...

The Catholic Church teaches a works-based salvation that is obviously different from what the Bible teaches. Hence, my questioning as to whether or not Catholicism is Christian or something else.

And let's remember that, when Jesus was tempted by Satan, Jesus responded "It is WRITTEN..." every time to Satan. I believe what Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. I will stick with the original Bible as compiled by the early church, before they went off the rails.

Brother, Paul told us that the scriptures are sufficient for us to be COMPLETE. The Catholic Church rejects this and says that what Jesus and the Apostles taught is INCOMPLETE because the CC has added a plethora of doctrines. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 English Standard Version 16 All Scripture is...

Apostolic succession is another false gospel. The original apostles were given the keys to bind, not an endless list of supposed successors. Again, you're following a false gospel about which Paul warned.

The Catholic Church removes God from our lives. Don't pray to our Heavenly Father, pray to Mary or a saint. Don't confess your sins in prayer to God. Instead, confess to our priest.

This is a false gospel.

I'm saying that I REJECT the Catholic belief that Mary calls on people to "serve her".
