ArchivedWhy pray to Mary?Aieno Wrote: Protestantism is the work of Satan it has broken the Church, it has divided Christianity, it has caused thousands upon thousands of denominations. Thats the work of Satan! Catholicism is based on God's word and apostolic tradition. There are several thousand different Protestant churches in existence all over the world that claim to be Christian. They all claim to be the church that Jesus built, or at least a part of it. Many praise this division. But the Bible says that division is wrong. Lets take a look and see what the Bible says Aieno, not tradition. 1. The Bible says the Church is not a denomination. Many believe that there is nothing wrong with denominationalism. They think that there are many parts of the one "mystical church" But there is no support from the word of God for this "mystical church." The Bible clearly states that there is only ONE CHURCH. Jesus promised to build only One Church, Matthew 16:16-18. The Bible condemns the very principle that denominationalism is built upon-division. John 17:20,21-"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That there all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." 2. 1 Corinthians 1:10- "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment." 3. Ephesians 4:3-"Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." 4. I Peter 3:8-"Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another; love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous." 5. Matthew 15:13-"But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." Since the Bible only recognizes one church , and since Catholicism was before Protestantism you belong to a denomination. And I belong to that one Church spoken of in the Scriptures. Aieno wrote: Sometimes I think you dont even read my posts dear brother Aieno. In one of your previous posts you said the same thing, and I answered you. I will repeat myself. ‘Christian’ was not originally a self-designation of the followers of Jesus, it is not surprising that it is rarely found in the New Testament." Hastings Dictionary of the Bible further states that Roman authorities gave the Messiah’s followers the name ‘Christians’ but the word itself to the pagans is associated with heinous crimes and vices. In this section "4. The Meaning of the Name.- The Roman authorities, who first designated the disciples of Jesus as Christians, attempted thereby to characterize them as a political group or party, held together by their loyalty to the party head, Christos. Aieno Christians didnt call themselves Christians, they were named Christians by Pagan Roman authorities. Do your reserach. Aieno Wrote:
These are your opinions, not facts. Aieno Wrote: The Gospel of Christ is central to the Catholic Church. We dont honor Christ? Dont we call Jesus Christ our saviour? our Lord? the Messiah? The alpha and Omega? etc... Indeed we do, and we honor Christ by honoring his mother Mary, unlike our separated Protestant brothers. Peace |
