KnightoftheRosary Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Please I don't mean for this to sound rude and I am pulling things off the top of my head as I say them, but tell me how can things be so hard to beleive. Now I would like to ask questions to! 1. The saints are people have recorded for centuries and seen the amazing acts and MIRACLES performed in their life time. Do Protestants have any documented accounts of such things? 2. Mary, how hard can it be to ask for help to the mother of God. I mean it sais in the 4th commandment to honor thy father and mother and let me see.. the Holy Spirit would be the father and Mary would be the mother. Now Christ being the son of God who is the alpha and the omega, extreme worship is totally aimed at him. But in the 4th commanment it sais to honor thy father and mother right, so since mary is not God no worship is dedicated to her, but certanly shouldn't we honor who she is. The mother of Christ!!! She magnifies her son through her like a huge magnifying glass, Her soul proclaims the greatness of the lord! 3. The numerouse recorded miracles all around the world at Grottos, shrines, churches, the blind see, the lame walk, cruches and wheelcharis are left behind to show the miracle that has been done. 4. What makes it so hard to beleive what the Catholic Church sais and why do alot of Protestants not all of them, but a large portion so Anti-Catholic. It's like we're a disease. As far as I can tell We love love God as much as you and it shows. But alot of Protestants like to pick fights because of our beliefs. I am just curiouse as to why? I as a Catholic was taught to love my neighbor, no matter what faith they are. I hope this was helpful and was not at all to be mean or rude. I just wish people wouldn't get so judgemental when someone sais their CAtholic. But my brain is tired and I must get some sleep so God Bless everyone Blessings -Knight- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Babies are born loving everyone. Hatred is something that must be taught. Some people have been taught that Catholics are going to hell or not chistian from the time they were little. That can only be overcome with the Holy Spirit and much Love.

ICTHUS Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 (edited) [quote name='Theoketos' date='Aug 22 2004, 01:14 PM'] Satan can produce and twist miracles to lead people away... [/quote] Precisely - this, I think, is where we must be critical of Romes miracles. Since Rome teaches a system of salvation by works which is contrary to the teaching of the Scriptures, Satan must attract people to her by veiling her false doctrines in a pretty exterior - miracles are part of that deceptively beautiful facade.

ICTHUS Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 [quote name='phatcatholic' date='Aug 22 2004, 01:47 PM'] you know better icthus..... [/quote] Well, that's what the popular belief is, anyway. At any rate, Rome makes us depend on Christ's work [i]in us[/i] (infused justification), rather than Christ's Work on the Cross, independent of our own merit, for our salvation. In a sense, she wants Christ to help us get to Heaven on our own strength, rather than to depend solely on Him, despair over our own strength and willpower, and be justified solely by faith in His Divine Mediatorship before the Father.
