Since the catholics desire to give people the credit for God's work, then why not erect statues of Mary's mother because without her, Mary could never have given birth to Christ and we couldn't be saved. So Mary's mother was at least as important as Mary in Christ's deeds. And how about Mary's grandmother? How was she any less important to our salvation? So why don't we rect statues of all the people from Adam and Eve because of the part they played.?

Or should we do as Jesus tells us and give God and God alone the credit for his creation which includes people. He said; "No one is good but God alone." I repeat, "No one is good but God alone." So why does the RCC contradict him again? Don't they care what he said? He also said; "I can do nothing without my Father." I repeat, "I can do nothing without my Father." Jesus gave complete and total credit for everything he did to his Father. Yet mere humans dare to suggest he was wrong and they know better? How is this worshipping Christ?

Which is easier; To say; "We worship Christ" or; to simply obey him? Words are meaningless without actions.

I agree that the Catholic church has shortcomings in their adherance to scripture(speck). But I fail to realize how many "Christians" can be so critical while our own shortcomings(planks) are unattended. :whistling:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The problem with the catholics is that they do not admit their sins. They are proud of their false teachings and continue to pass them along. Paul was very critical of false teachers and so should we be. I do not say that I don't sin nor do I continue to justify it like the catholics still do. But I will expose Satan's lies as he did. Even Jesus tells us that if a brother sins against us, go and tell him of his sin. You should know better than to endorse false teachings and not expose them. :huh:

Hi Carico,

At the risk of repeating myself....

I worship God alone.

In the RCC, to worship Mary would be heresy.

I have statues, not idols. (do you have pictures of loved ones?)

All saints and angels give glory to God---they do not take it away.

Jesus is my Lord, my God, my Saviour, my King and my friend.

Satan is a pig.

I reject him and all his filthy lies.

I worship God alone.

Peace,

Fiosh

portestents do the same with todays preachers

Look at the way people treat them

we are no better

And I hate to bust some ballons but guess what

Paul and Jan Crouch are no better then me

Oral Roberts is no better

etc

but don't tell that to all those who put these people on pedistals and worship them

yes that is what they do they may say they don't but they do they hang on every word believe everything they say (regardless of what the bible says) they give them their last dime and follow them around like love sick puppies so that is worship....

I love the vocie of John Starnes but is he better then me nope He can sing better that is for sure but in the eyes of God we are equal

so it is not just some chruches that do the false worship and giving credit where it is not due

slightly off the topic I am sure but you get the point

In Christ

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
