I'm not getting into a debate.
I'm not debating. To me there is nothing to debate.Still can't bring yourself to speak the truth.
Like when you said

Why anyone who knows Bible truth and Gospel truth would voluntary go into Catholic bondage is something that would border on the bizarre. But then again there is no accounting for such things today.A better thread is , HOW do we get adults out of that church
Anytime non-Catholics expose the false teachings of the RCC their observations are labeled as "lies" or "caricatures". Well that simply does not hold water. But that is how Catholic apologists deal with this issue. Call the messenger a "liar" so no one will discern the truth.Many evangelicals feed off hateful false caricatures of Catholic spirituality to justify their hatred masked as "speaking the truth in love."
But you provided no evidence for your claim
We’re not allowed to pray for each other?I wont argue with that . Just let go of prayers to the saints . Just be freed to pray to GOD alone by JESUS CHRIST .
But yeah , i wont argue with what you just said .
We’re not allowed to pray for each other?
I still pray to you, ask you to pray for me, or how would you know to pray for me, all to the glory of Christ, for all graces come from His merits by denying the saints you are denying ChristNot for but to. I pray TO God FOR other people. I don’t pray TO other human beings. See the difference?

It does indeed hold water if the anti-Catholic evangelical vitriol pontificates from ignorance of precisely how informed Catholics might defend their distinctives on biblical grounds.
I challenge you to identify biblical prooftexts Catholics might cite for Catholic distinctives like these 7:
(1) their doctrine of Purgatory
(2) their doctrine of Communion of Saints
(3) their respect for holy relics (including the bones of deceased saints)
(4) their use of Holy Water
(5) their doctrine of the Eucharist
(6) their doctrine of the redemptive relationship between faith and works
(7) their doctrine of divinely inspired church tradition
Are you willing to get into the Word or are you and your ilk just going to continue spouting your groundless vitriol?
Spoken like a true RCC soldier . I never said we cant pray FOR ONE ANOTHERWe’re not allowed to pray for each other?
What good is the communion of saints if we can’t pray and intercede for one an other
They got you heavily brainwashed . I know your doctrine and its false .I still pray to you, ask you to pray for me, or how would you know to pray for me, all to the glory of Christ, for all graces come from His merits by denying the saints you are denying Christ
Jn 1:16
2 thes 1:10
Rev 5:8
As she said, she knows some catholics personally. So do I. They are Mary-centered (a false unbiblical Mary) from everything I've seen in my in-laws and online, or on television (catholic religious programs).So you have no doctrines? Where did you get the idea that Catholic doctrines are not Christ centered? From anti-Catholics or angry ex-Catholics? A doctrine is a teaching based on revealed truths from Jesus and the Apostles, they are not opinions. So lets define "doctrine" correctly.
People aren't magically transformed into good Christians just by walking into a Catholic church (even if they do it every week). Repentance and conversion of heart are the keys to the Christian life. Without them, everything else is sterile and false, whether one calls oneself "Catholic" or not.How Can Catholicism Be True When Catholics Are So Dead? (catholiceducation.org)
by denying the saints you are denying Christ
This is correct. Here is the doctrine of Mary as presented in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. And none of it is based on actual biblical passages. Simply a reinterpretation of what is in the Bible. There is not a single verse in Scripture which tells Christians to practice devotion to Mary.They are Mary-centered (a false unbiblical Mary) from everything I've seen in my in-laws and online, or on television (catholic religious programs).
