From APO-10, NR6-01, & REV-35 - Why I am Not A Roman Catholic - Is Romanism Biblical? (930307PM )

[divineknowledge]

I was raised in the Roman Catholic faith. When did I leave and why? Both questions have one reason, I learned to read!

[robertmaletta]

1 CORINTHIANS 10:16
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?

[diggingpearls]

Also, Peter wouldn't let anyone bow down to him! Acrs10:25 "And as Peter was coming Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man."
Yet the blasphemous Catholic Popes love to be bowed down to and kissed, SICKENING! Why wouldn't true Christian's be upset by this blasphemous church.

If someone comes preaching another gospel, another Jesus or of someone says come look here or look over there is the Christ do not believe them

[antony]

"Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins " Rev 18

I was a romanist but praise God, His Holy Spirit brought me into the light!!! I haven’t looked back and never will go back to the Roman pagan institution.

I do believe that many romanists do not leave because they are afraid. They never actually had to worship God without the roman institution. They are COMFORTABLE. And for me it was scary and very uncomfortable to follow God’s calling

[thechristian]

You can go to Jesus directly, there is only one mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ, Jesus is the truth way, God is a jealous God so 100% praise should be to Him, not images of Mary and a rosary prayer taking hours, you go to church and you find Mary everywhere, not even Jesus, look at the main catholic church is that even Jesus, images were done away with Christ so do not take us back to the old testament,

[luisrios]

"As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life, and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the twelve, " Do you also want to leave?"" John 6:66
What will YOU answer the lord, will you too leave him or will you trust in him? He is asking you this question right now. It's up to you to decide.

[johne.]

“Unless you eat my body and drink my blood you have no life in you” Jesus (in the Bible)…… the Bible brought to you by the Catholic Church.

[robertmaletta]

1JOHN 6:54-57

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.

May God have mercy on these poor souls who are lost and deceived.

[yeboyjayyjv]

My country is mainly Catholic, but I'm evangelist. I'm in a Catholic school. I being hate at for not supporting LGBTQ, abortion, or BLM. They didn't like me because I believe in the Bible. Which didn5 make sense to me since they were Catholics.

[christopherruest]

So at the last supper when Jesus took the bread and said "this is my body", you just gonna ignore that?

[JamesWFisher]

No human but you is incharge of your salvation do your own due diligence. You won't achieve salvation through a priest or pastor. It is up to you and your decision to accept the gift of christ for your salvation

[bluegrassproject]

"Blessed are those who don't see and yet believe."

We don't see Jesus in the eucharist and yet we believe. God created heaven and earth and you'll tell us that God cannot do such a thing?!

[catholicintoeternity]

Non Catholics praise the New Testament which the early Church compiled.
They readily accept the Dogma of the Holy Trinity, Jesus being the Son of God, Mary being the Mother of God, and many truths the Church declared to be true.
We are thankful to God for the Holy Spirit who guides the One True Church.

[inhocsignovinces]

“I will go peaceably and firmly to the Catholic Church: for if Faith is so important to our salvation, I will seek it where true Faith first began, seek it among those who received it from God Himself.” (St Elizabeth Anne Seton)

[thmountainvet]

Great conversation. I wish it was happening more.

[SCRaetz]

"Who is my mother?"
"Who are my brothers?"
-Jesus

"Blessed are the breasts at which you nursed!” [Jesus] rebuffed her, saying, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"

If Jesus shut it down and you STILL don't listen, you are willingly lost and not even to be pitied.

*TOP REASONS WHY CATHOLICISM IS TRUE*:

1) it sounds very bizzare that for more than 1500 years that everyone was living in darkness and such a long wait for a man named Martin Luther to come along and bring the Truth out.

2) The Catholic church can trace its origins more than 2000 years in an unbroken line all the way to Peter and hence ultimately to Jesus himself. On the contrary, Protestantism at its best can trace back only 500 years back to Martin Luther in an unbroken line. After that there is a long jump needed from Martin Luther to Jesus.

3) There can only be One Truth & not 30, 000 different versions of the Truth. The failure of Protestantism is in the fact that there are soo many denominations with self contradicting beliefs and each one proclaiming to hold the Truth.

4) Looking at even some of the major Protestant groups (Lutherans, Anglicans, Southern-Baptist, Evangelicals) - all of them disagree with each other even on basic beliefs such as Baptism and Salvation.

5) It is true that the Early Church Fathers weren't unanimous regarding everything. HOWEVER, all Early Church Father unanimous agreed on many common doctrines- Infant Baptism, Eucharist, Authority of Bishop of Rome, Mariology etc. There are original writings of more than 90+ Early Church Fathers available that prove this.

6) Either Martin Luther was right OR else he was wrong- it sounds bizzare that he was only partly right & that other reformers had to come along to correct his mistakes.

7) It is impossible for "the Church" to be an invisible Church consisting of believers, because in Matthew 18:16-17 "The Church" is defined as being a physical body on earth which has the Authority to settle disputes. An invisible Church can't settle any such disputes.

8) The Catholic church exists since more than 2000 years despite going through a lot of turmoil, corruption and dark times. There has been people within & outside of the church who has tried to destroy it. But yet the Church is very mich alive today. It is hard to believe this is even possible if it was not God's church.

9) Jesus promised that the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against his Church- it is logical to belive that it is the Catholic church which has prevailed against all evil for more than 2000 years.
10) Encyclopedia Brittanica (most reliable book)- states that Catholicism was founded by Jesus in 33AD and that Peter died in Rome where St.Peters Basillica stands today.

11) The founders of all Protestant churches can be named by anyone as they are mete men. On the contrary, though Protests say Catholicism is man-made, they struggle to name the man who founded it.

12) It requires 8 years study in a Catholic Seminary to be a Catholic Priest. On the contrary, one can be a Protestant Pastor with only 2 years study in a Bible college.

13) Catholic Priests are in general a lot more educated than Protestant Pastors in terms of educational qualifications.

14) There are way too many Ex-Protestant Pastors who have become Catholics as opposed to ex-Catholic Priests who became Protestants (examples include Scott Hahn, Steve Ray, Tim Staples, Keith Nester, Jimmy Akin, Marcus Gordi, Ken Hensley etc.)

15) There are way too many books written by Ex-Pastors who turned Catholic which are Best-Sellers on Amazon and having ratings over 4.8 out of 5 (example include: Rome Sweet Home, Crossing the Tiber, The Fathers Know Best, Evangelical is Not Enough, Born Fundamentalist Born-Again Catholic, The Protestant Dilemma, The Case for Catholicism etc.)

15) Catholicism is the largest Christian denomination. Approximately 65% of Christians in the world are Catholic. And Catholics were the First Christians.

16) Thomas the Apostle travelled to India wihtout even a single New Testament book (the books of the New Testament were written during 52-100AD) and founded the first Church in India in my hometown in 52AD in Palayoor, Kerala (South India). This is a Catholic Church.

17) Before his death in 72AD, Thomas the Apostle founded six churches in India- all are Catholic churches.

18) I come from Kerala, a state in India with 100% literacy. Majority of Kerala Christians are Catholics. Only 6.4% of Kerala Christians are Evangelical Protestants.

19) In my family there have been 4 Catholic priests (3 still alive) whom I know personally well who have studies Theology for more than 8 years to be a Priest.

20) Catholicism requires deep study of History& Theology, most Protestant Pastors take between 4-5 years to study Catholicisim.

21) Only 3 Disciples of Jesus (Matthew, Peter & John) wrote any Scripture at all. And that too they didn't write as if they were summarising each & everything concerning Christian faith. Hence it is obvious that "Bible-Alone" (Sola Scriptura) is wrong!

22) in the first 400 years there was No Bible at all. The Bible as we know today came into being only in 382AD, hence it is IMPOSSIBLE that the Early Christians in the first was living by Bible-Alone. So Sola-Scriptura was IMPOSSIBLE in the first 400 years.

God bless!
