The ones where the Lord saying contacting the dead is a sin!  Those ones!

I believe Saul contacted the dead for advice.

Didn't work out too well for him as I understand it.

Some things I've been hearing the Pope profess makes me wonder about that.

Yep, the catholics "pope" mascot dude guy thinks mary is co-redemer and is on the same level as Jesus Christ.

None of this is in scripture of course but that doesn't stop the catholics from espousing this false doctrine.

If you believe they are not saved, then why wouldn't you want to?

Unless I misunderstand the subject here, this is about, effectively, joining ourselves to them not salvation of the unsaved.

Maybe I've misunderstood the subject and what it suggests be done.

Maybe they were referring to being aligned with them politically?

Same purpose as you. 


 

No I don't think so. They do not believe Necromancy is what they are doing. What makes it necromancy to you?

[Big Boy Stan Murf]

God says in His Word that what they are doing is in fact necromancy and they are practicing of idolatry.  Doesn't matter what they "think" is is... God says it's an abomination until Him.

You are obviously beholden to catholic teachings and believe them instead of God's Word.

Please provide scripture passages where God's Word says mary is equal with Jesus (co-redeemer) and is sinless and should be worshiped.  They "venerate" mary when praying the rosary which means to worship mary.

Please provide scripture passages where God's Word says we are supposed to try and contact those that have died physically and have passed from this life and ask them to interceded for us.

The Bible teaches Jesus Christ is making intercession for us!  The catholics do not serve Jesus Christ because if they did HIS intercession is more than sufficient!

These are all occult activity and are NOT biblical at all.

catholics follow teachings that are extra biblical and do NOT come from the Lord!

This is a contradiction. The Bible is from the Lord so not sure what you're getting at here. 

 

Do you even understand the context of all those verses you quoted?

Extra biblical means they follow teachings that are not in God's Word.  Teachings that do not come from God.

There are only 2 sources of information... what God says, and then the devil who always opposes what God says.

My wife (Protestant) was hired as an administrator for the local Catholic school. There is more in common that not, especially in educational philosophy. She might be the first non-Catholic in such a role in our province.

Their view was that they would rather have a committed Christian, regardless of affiliation, in the role rather than a nominal Catholic.
