A word about the church of Catholics

a reply to: visitedbythem

You're saying that the Bible is lying?
I'll start at the easy part.
You said, "Virgin worship..... That goes back to paganism. Mary, mother of god? Seriously? God doesn't have a mother.

What are your thoughts on John 2:1-12, "On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples."

Acts of the Apostles 1:14," They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

John 2:5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

John 19:25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

Luke 2:51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.

You also state, "Remember what Jesus said? " Who is my mother, who are my brothers? Those who do my will and obey me," as being evidence of not having a mother. Yet no where in that text or quote, does he deny that Mary is not His Mother.

Ok, I gave my profile a new look.

Hate is the force of evil often taught by the communities or not adressed and cared for. Children wonder what is going on growing up and set foot on the wrong track. The light is so bright, you know. We need to repent for all the seeds of hate planted in us. We need to hate evil in the sense of a conviction, hating it in the sense of not wanting to become it ourselves, but when you start hating when hated, you become like the enemy. Evil has murdered millions before, and that's not because it loves people.

Sorry, Double post.

I am so sorry... I didn't mean to imply there was anything wrong with the avatar you chose. It is not my place to to tell you not to present whatever you would like in your online persona (of course the T&C covers that, e.g. no profanity, obscenity... etc.)

I feel bad now... please forgive me if it sounded like some kind of criticism... I was just curious as to the choice.

I hear you. There is something pernicious and insidious about the way people cluster for hatred's sake. It seems like the media actually triggers and feeds on it. (And in a sense, they do.)

Be well, and if you are so inclined, go ahead an change that avatar back to whatever makes you comfortable.

I understand what you are saying.

Mary queen of Heaven goes back to long before Christ. I think that began after Nimrod died. That mother and child worship started with Tamuz if I remember correctly.

Did Jesus come out of Mary's virgin womb? Of course. God is and always was, long before Jesus created Mary. She didnt create him.

From descriptions of Heaven, the disciples are honored: King James Bible
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. I believe Paul took Judas Iscariot's place. Her name is not listed, and she is not the queen of heaven. He loves us all the same.

He is the one that asked," who is my mother". And I believe he said it for a reason. He knew what would happen after he left.

King David knew things about Christ and was amazed. The creator told him.

You know who else knew and described Jesus and the wounds he received before and during the crucifixion? Isaiah did. Isaiah described what he saw in Isaiah 53: New King James Version
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. that was in 150 to 100 BCE.

Of later years here in Michigan, Ive become acquainted with many "lay" preachers who never studied, just ordained by a buddy "preacher"...and then go forth and "minister". I dont support them, dont often see them, but their ideas are whacked.

Wife fell into it with them and some "basement" ministries...but eventually, I got her out. I went to Catholic school...uniforms n all. Military line up nonsense. All look alike...so I left Catholicism at 18.

Footnote: By our house we have a Freewill Baptist, Southern Baptist, Gilead Baptist, Mt.Hope Baptist, Mt. Zion Baptist....and, and.....see?

Ive never...ever...agreed with any organized "religion".

Thank you n God Bless!

Hi MM,

I happened on this video yesterday, talks a lot about the catholic church, Jesuits and secret societies.




The gent presenting the video also speaks to how all the other churches are infiltrated by Freemasons who corrupt them from the inside.


I think you might find it interesting.
