I will never understand why Catholics try to teach/mingle with/correct/try to convince/justify/attempt to protect/ their beliefs.
The Catholic doctrine is set apart from everything else. I have come to believe that the Catholic church even falls into the definition of
a cult... therefore... there is no reasoning... and no purpose for TRYING to defend something amongst those who are not PART of it.
It's like trying to fix a broken car battery with a watch battery... useless and waste of time.
I have noticed over the years in my visits to different sites with forums... that it seems to be a THING where Catholics argue their doctrines with NON CATHOLICS... Nothing ever gets resolved... nothing ever gets accomplished... It is like the SONG that never ends... it goes on and on and then... LOL
Yes. It was corruption and more than corruption. It was a PERVERSION of the Gospel, which would damn millions of souls to Hell.
@theefaith You obviously did not read the part of my post where I have stated I will NOT discuss Catholicism.
I therefore have not and will not read what you have written... but I am addressing you out of respect.
How I perceive the Catholic church is my own private matter and I have absolutely NO DESIRE to discuss it with those who defend Catholicism.
This is so simple. He did not send anyone to do what He alone did on the altar in heaven that anyone can access for themselves through their faith.explain scripture
Mt 16:18 Mt 28:19 Acts 1:17 acts 8:31 & 35 Lk 10:16 Jn 8:32 Jn 13:20 Jn 15:5 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-22 eph 2:20
especially Jn 20:21 as my father sent me so I send you
He didn't go there to minister what Christ himself, alone, ministers to anyone who has faith in what He did for them on the altar in heaven.oh my how the scripture contradicts you!
Rom 15:25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints

You seem to have a problem differentiating between earth bound organizations called 'churches' and the real church which is composed of every person who believes in Christ's work on the altar in heaven.No authority to start new churches Matt 16:18 only Christ has this authority
I'm very outraged that the Catholics usurped Christ's authority and tell people they can only get to Jesus and the Father through them.He is the only mediator!
Where is your outrage on this gross attempt to usurp His authority, the authority of him being the only mediator?????????
You're not listening. He's not a mediator of that which Christ alone is the mediator. Christ mediates man's justification before God ALONE. There is no mortal priesthood in the process anymore. That's the very system of weakness and corruption that Christ himself laid aside when he performed his Priestly work of redemption on the altar in heaven. Now all men go to God through Jesus, not a man made priesthood. That's what the New Covenant is all about. Your corrupt church usurped authority by inserting their earthly system of priests in between man and Jesus to do what Jesus already does by himself between himself and man through their faith.he is ministering so he is a mediator
now what!
You're not following along very well. The argument is that Jesus alone mediates what it is, particularly, that the High Priest mediates. There are other priestly duties involving the maintenance and care of the temple that us believers are called and gifted to do. But the duty of the High Priest belongs to Christ alone and everyone who has faith in Him accesses His work directly without the necessity of going through an earthly, mortal priest as the Catholics contend.he is ministering so he is a mediator
now what!
No, it just includes more people than the Catholic church says it includes.Jn 20 is a lie?
The great Protestant double standard!
no outrage at these usurpers against the one and only mediator Jesus Christ!
The 'Christ' your church claims to worship looks like a wafer. Really.
The 'Christ' your church claims to worship looks like a wafer. Really.
So, your church 'walks by sight, not by faith'. It's that simple.
OH my goodness... You made me spit my coffee..... HA HA HA....
