Are Catholics Stupid? by Benblaq(m): 1:50pm On Jan 03, 2017
My dear brothers and sisters. Members of d original church founded by Jesus on the apostles.
I greet u, i see u, i touch u wit my hrt. Why do i ask "are catholics stupid?" because so many of u cnt defend ur faith. simple difficulties like "is d pope in d bible?..why do u mke sign of d cross?"
Often u cnnot ansa. Yet St. Peter told u, 'always v ur ansas ready 4 dose wu ask u 4 d hpe dat u av."
Like me, u admire the members of oda churches 4 dia gudnes nd dia zeal to spread their doctrines. You owe it to dm to hlp dm by givn dm clear ansas to dia diffibulties.

FOR THREE REASONS WE MAKE D SIGN OF D CROSS
(1)in memory of Jesus' death on d cross
(2)to honour d three divine persons in one God
(3) as a shield to protect us frm evil
always make it slowly and reverently, a big sign, for it is a prayer..
MARY
Your frnd says "it is wrng to pray to Mary"forgetin dat st. paul tells us.THere is only one Mediator between God and man.(1Tim 2:5)vry true. And it is ryt to ask mary to pray to Jesus 4 us(jn2vs1-12)

Mary is dead and in her grave. She is not in Heaven. Stop praying to a demon you don't know, in the name of Mary.

Meanwhile, the RCC is not the church which Christ left on earth. The disciples kept the true Sabbath of GOD. Roman Catholics today disregard GOD's commandments, contrary to Eccl. 12:13.

Jesus asked us to remember his sacrificial work for us through the holy communion. "Do this in remembrance of me." Not carry cross in remembrance of me. And no, not the evil ritual RCC call holy communion today, where they blaspheme GOD.

Jesus admonished us to pray to GOD the Father in His Name. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Jesus never acknowledged Mary as His mother. Mary was only an instrument through which His humanity was introduced.

The phrase "Mother of GOD" is contradictory. GOD is essentially eternal/without beginning. You now see why Mary is not the mother of GOD. GOD has no mother.

Martin Luther, while he was stl a catholic priest loved Mary and askd her to pray for him..He wrote these lovely words in his commentary on the magnificat which is MARY's song of joy in Lk. 1:46-55. He begins:
"Mary the tender mother of God herself get me the spirit of wisdom, so i cn clearly explain this song of hers. May Christ grant me dis, through the intercession of his dear mother Mary

That was while he was under the darkness of catholicism. As the Scriptures opened his eyes, he rejected papal lies and disagreed with the roman church as much as he had light from the Bible.

Mary is not praying for anybody. Mary is in the grave. Read your Bible.

Martin Luther didn't even go anywhere with his reform. Much truth was later to be discovered by holy men studying the Bible. But he reformed to the best of his knowledge.

The pope has no authority. He is a mere mortal. The authority of Christianity is in the Bible, not man-made creed. Read 2 Tim. 3:16; Matt. 15:9

Jesus chose twelve apostles and appointd peter as head. do you remember the first day Jesus met peter, in john1:42?He gave him a new name. "you are simon, son of john. you are to be calld peter", which means ROCK.
Now open matthew 16:13-19. Jesus asks the apostles, "who do you say i am and peter answered "you are the Christ, the son of d living GOD"
Then Jesus said "you are peter, and upon this ROCK i will build my church. and d gates of hell wil neva overpower it. and to u i wil gve the keys of d kingdom of heaven..."
thus Jesus made peter the chief shepherd of hs church.

Jesus did not make Peter the head of the church. The head of the church is Christ(Col. 1:18)

Peter was never in a position of arbitrary leadership over the church. The Rock Christ was talking about is found in 1 Cor. 10:4. The Rock is not Peter.

This is a lie because 2000 years ago, all the apostles kept the Sabbath of GOD. Therefore this roman church can't lay claim to apostolic succession.

This is a lie! GOD owns His Word! Not man. The roman church simply locked the Bible in chains during the dark ages.

It was a pope also who sent Mohammed to wipe out the true Christians in Africa and Arabia who still kept the Sabbath of GOD. Why is the catholic church preaching human fables in place of GOD's WORD?

in d church, as in our hearts, there is always a battle between good and evil. Abov 1,500yrz afta Christ, many members went bad. There were bad priests, bad bishops, even a bad pope. It was greed 4 money nd power dat made dem bad.

No! As early as the 2nd century A.D., some had already brought in damnable heresies like trinity and disregard for GOD's Sabbath, things which the Bible do not teach.

The apostles did not teach disregard for GOD's Sabbath, neither did they teach trinity, nor did they teach the veneration of Mary, nor did they teach bowing down to graven images. We have to stop committing sin, as 1 Jn. 3:4 defined sin. I can hardly spot anything that the roman church teaches today which agrees with the Bible.

IN THE NAME OF GOD .
Chapter 36 ( ya- seen)

{37. Another sign for them is the night: We strip the day out of itโ€”and they are in darkness.
38. And the sun runs towards its destination. Such is the design of the Almighty, the All-Knowing.
39. And the moon: We have disposed it in phases, until it returns like the old twig.
40. The sun is not to overtake the moon, nor is the night to outpace the day. Each floats in an orbit.
41. Another sign for them is that We carried their offspring in the laden Ark.
42. And We created for them the like of it, in which they ride.
43. If We will, We can drown themโ€”with no screaming to be heard from them, nor will they be saved.
44. Except by a mercy from Us, and enjoyment for a while.
45. Yet when it is said to them, โ€œBeware of what lies before you, and what lies behind you, that you may receive mercy.โ€
46. Yet never came to them a sign of their Lordโ€™s signs, but they turned away from it.
47. And when it is said to them, โ€œSpend of what God has provided for you,โ€ those who disbelieve say to those who believe, โ€œShall we feed someone whom God could feed, if He so willed? You must be deeply misguided.โ€
48. And they say, โ€œWhen will this promise be, if you are truthful?โ€
49. All they can expect is a single blast, which will seize them while they feud.
50. They will not be able to make a will, nor will they return to their families.}

No, you keep graven images in your churches and houses, contrary to GOD's commandment in Exod. 20. The fact that a graven image has to be in front of you before you concentrate during worship speaks volumes about who you really worship. All the holy men of GOD in the Bible needed not look at a graven image to worship. Jesus did not look at any graven image, neither did Peter.
