Catholics Are Not Christians!! Get It Clear!!!!!!! Reasons Inside. by Esdb3: 10:00pm On Apr 14, 2015 |
This may come as a surprise to some people. But yes Catholics are not christians. Some people especially muslims use the works of the catholic crusaders to represent violent terrors by 'christians'. Sorry you are wrong, catholics are just catholics. The fact that they broke the number 2 commandment is enough reason. The command states that "thou shall not bow down to any graven image representing anything in heaven or on earth. They bow down to statues. Another reason is they don't obey the most important commandment that states "thou shalt have no other God before me". They worship mary or they pray to her rather. These are reasons enough, to disprove their credibility as 'christians'. So please the POPE is not well for me, the christian leader. And the crooked islamists should stop terming their actions as on behalf of christians. And also their doctrine of 'father' not marrying is baseless arguably. Now seun why can muslims quote christians without taking oaths but christians can't?? It is not good o. Islam oppresses us in the real world and here again?!!! On a site created by a christian??!! Hmmmm. This world is not our home. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Most of the fundamental ideologies behind Catholicism go against basic Christian doctrine. That's why the reformation by Martin Luther began in the about 15th century which eventually gave birth to the Protestant church which I was born into. Catholicism persecuted the body of Christ in its early days leading to a period called the dark ages about 500ad during which time, somewhere in arabia, islam sprung up. They withheld Bibles from the general populace and tortured believers as well. It has undergone some reformation as in the charismatic movement lately but can do more! I've always said it that Mary didn't do anything special to be chosen by God to birth Jesus but was rather "highly favoured of God" as recorded in the Scriptures. She obeyed the law but I'm certain many other girls her age did too! 1 Like |

catholics are not Christians, they are catholics. They do not represent Christ or uphold the teachings of the scriptures they claim to have preserved. It is heresy for the catholic cult to call itself the first church. And to say it has sole authority to what Christians should know ( which is the truth) is mind boggling and outrightly arrogant. What blasphemy! The catholic cult is a big joke. I was a catholic. And i thank God for that. 3 Likes |

Rich4god: There is no truth in the catholic institution. The lie that it is the first church is what they use to keep their members bound in delusion. Wake up, Jesus said he is the way, the truth and the life, no one can go to the Father but by him John 14: 6 The scriptures says expressly that there is no name giving under heaven by which men can be saved except the name of Jesus. Acts 4:12 You don't need the priest or clergy man to interpret that for you. It is as clear as night and day. Only Jesus can save. Look to Him alone and be saved. |

sunnydayasaba: Are you not aware that the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding to truth... James 3:17. What you are calling for is false peace guised as tolerance and the scriptures calls your kind ministers of satan for even the devil transforms himself into an angel of light to deceive the flock. If you think the catholic institution has been misrepresented, go ahead and say it and support your claim with the undiluted word of God. Thank you. |

Rich4god: eh i didnt answer you? sorry er pele. Can you ask it again? Ok, one of the teachings of the catholic institution is that there is no salvation outside it. True or false? It says Mary is a co saviour.True or false? Pls read the bible verses i cited again and tell, if they are talking of a saviour or THE saviour. |

An2elect2: First question is false.... The way you interpreted it is not what the church meant. http://www.catholic.com/magazine/articles/what-no-salvation-outside-the-church-means Second question is false.... The church only point out the role of Mary in Christ's mission on earth and never said she is a co saviour. http://bustedhalo.com/questionbox/do-catholics-believe-that-mary-is-the-co-savior-of-the-world |

An2elect2: I want you to tell me which is the first church.... What happened to the church during the medieval ages.... Where is the church now...? Also, why is it that churches founded by the apostles outside the holy land are in communion with catholic even though they differ in some way...eg is the church of Ethiopia....

Esdb3:So the Catholic soldiers who died at Lepanto, at Malta, at Vienna, at Constantinople, at Antioch, at Jerusalem etc trying to save Christianity from jihad are not Christians and you are? SMH. Do you think if Europe had fallen to Islam in the Middle Ages there would have been any Protestant to protest any Catholic Church?

kay1one2:Which Christians were persecuted "during the dark ages around 500 AD?" Can you name them for us please? Also which Bibles were withheld from the laity around 500 AD? I didn't know they had printing presses back then! I am sure you dont know that it took St Jerome, for example, 18 years to translate the Bible from Greek to Latin. Because everything was done by hand by Catholic monks who spend their entire lifetimes writing Bibles. But some Protestants see no need to be grateful to these Catholics. Now listen to what Martin Luther whom you idolise says about Mary: No woman is like you. You are more than Eve or Sarah, blessed above all nobility, wisdom, and sanctity. (Sermon, Feast of the Visitation, 1537) More: [She is the] highest woman and the noblest gem in Christianity after Christ . . . She is nobility, wisdom, and holiness personified. We can never honor her enough. Still honor and praise must be given to her in such a way as to injure neither Christ nor the Scriptures. (Sermon, Christmas, 1531) More: The Virgin Mary remains in the middle between Christ and humankind. For in the very moment he was conceived and lived, he was full of grace. All other human beings are without grace, both in the first and second conception. But the Virgin Mary, though without grace in the first conception, was full of grace in the second … whereas other human beings are conceived in sin, in soul as well as in body, and Christ was conceived without sin in soul as well as in body, the Virgin Mary was conceived in body without grace but in soul full of grace. (H. George Anderson, 238.) I could paste many more such Luther quotes. 1 Like |

Papist: You do know why the reformation began right?! The inquisition which I'm sure you've heard about was carried out by the Catholic church to rid spain of jews and "witches". The roman Catholic church withheld Bibles prior to the reformation, that's why Matin Luther had to translate the Bible from latin to german during his lifetime to make it more available to the populace. Please lets not even go to the wealth gap between the popes of those days like George and the people and their purported links to even the mafioso. |

Esdb3: Apparently u have several issues with ur post.. U don't have ur "facts" right. 1. seun is not a Christian 2. The Islamic section is necessary to avoid fatwas and death threats 3. Catholics don't worship Mary 4. The crusades was neccesary..if u have studied it you will know that Muslims were murdering whole Christian communities in their jihadist quest to dominate the world, Spain, Byzantine, turkey, etc all fell to blood thrist Muslims, Spain was liberated thanks to the crusades and Spaniards went on later to discover America. 5. The "no marriage" practise is in the bible, its a sacrifice that u make if u are ready to make it.. Jesus, Paul and several disciplines died without marrying. Paul even said in one of his letter that u can go unmmarried to serve God if u can cope but if u can't then marry as soon as u can But u are right about something, any Catholic or protestant christian who bows to status, or persons or fears his preists or pastors more than God is not worthy to be called a christian. 4 Likes 1 Share |

kay1one2:So you can't name any of those born again Christians who were persecuted by the Catholic Church in the dark ages? And for your information the English Protestants murdered way more Catholics than the whole Spanish inquisition. Also the first German bible was not translated by Luther. All he did in his translation was add the word *faith only* to Romans. So your whole argument is a fail. |

kay1one2: Kay and papist u guys need to chill.. Tho dialogue is necessary but ur tones are very confrontational. Protestants and Catholics are doing great works today. In the past there has been "naughty" deeds by both parties, the Catholics have a long complex history, some which is not nice eg, a hand full of evil popes, wars, inquisitions but Christianity owes a lot to the Good Catholics who have done a lot of Good through the ages. Let's not forget visionary men like Martin Luther who fought hard to translate the bible, hence bringing the word of God closer to the people despite resistance from the then pope, let's not forget William tindale who was murdered for his effort to translate the bible. Today, universally, Catholics have consistently and firmly stood against homosexuality, abortion and capital punishment in line with the Bible. While several fractions of protestants/pentecostals have buckled to pressure and accepted them. Catholics have consistently emphasised salvation while several protestants teach almost entirely on prosperity, miracle healing etc Venerating saints to the point of having status of them is wrong but Catholics do it. Humans are consistently imperfect and hence we shall always fall short but pointing fingers and disparaging other effort making Christians is wrong be it catholic or protestant. |

kay1one2: lolz... Its funny how you guys accuse the catholics yet neglecting your own loopholes... Talking about the wealth of the pope... You guys have forgotten that the pope is a title giving to a man in that office... Hence is has no claim to the wealth of the papal office. Even if that office is the richest on earth, it belongs to an institution and not to the one man called " pope"..... Can same be said of all these pastors flying around in private jets. |

Rich4god: The wealth gap between the popes and the populace was so bad it inflamed the embers of the reformation! So bad! The church needed a reformation and it got it mainly because most of the policies of the catholic church then were not founded on the Bible. E.g saying the communion was the exact body and blood of Jesus and purgatory and that people could pay fees to have the priest or pope cleanse them from their sins! |

kay1one2:Hmmm On the contrary, saying the communion is the actual body of Christ is biblical except you are ready to show me where the bible said it's a mere symbol. The Church preaches purgatory which I also believe in from the Bible Maybe you should study more about that fee collection ish, was it a church teaching or dogma or was it a form of corruption by some priests. |

If the verse "by their works ye shall know them" is anything to go by, Catholics are the ONLY good Christians. (Well JW are nice too). They build free or cheap schools, hospitals, orphanages. And their priests; among whom I have had a few friends; eschew avarice, wealth and greed, and tend to concentrate on the poor masses, rather than ingratiate themselves with rich church members. They also undergo rigorous decade long training in theology, languages and philosophy among other classic arts and sciences, before qualifying to minister, unlike the self-acclaimed former armed robbers; as the new generation pastors like to claim; who undergo a week of mushroom training at some backyard 'bible school'; and are then let loose like ravening wolves upon a gullible flock. I am a neutral, but going by works and character, the Catholics have my thumbs up by a loooong mile. Of course, as a Muslim, I believe all are wrong, theology wise. 7 Likes 2 Shares |
