Smokey, my Friend,
You tell me, "You claim to be following Christ and his teachings in the bible, do you think Christ would talk to people the way you do? Do you think Christ approves of you attacking churches that Christians attend?"
First, I do not consider myself a "Bible teacher." Instead I share the Word of God, discuss the Word of God, and point out what I believe the Bible is teaching us on issues of Christian doctrine and theology.
You ask, "do you think Christ would talk to people the way you do?"
You tell me. To the scribes and Pharisees, i.e., the "Vatican type leaders" of that day -- this is what He said:
Matthew 12:34, “You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart."
Matthew 23:33, “You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell?"
Matthew 23:27, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness."
Matthew 7:15, “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."
Matthew 24:11, “Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many."
Matthew 24:24, “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect."
So, would Jesus Christ call out the false teachers, those who would lead folks into "religion" instead of into a Christian relationship with Him? YOU BETCHA!
Then, you ask "Do you think Christ approves of you attacking churches that Christians attend?"
Christian churches? NO. -- False religion based churches? YOU BETCHA! He did, so why would He not want us to do the same? After all, we are called Christ Followers.
Finally, you ask, "Please tell me where in the bible Christ teaches bigotry? Chapter and verse please!"
Bigotry definition: "intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself."
Now, where have we seen this in Scripture? How about: Matthew 12:34 -- Matthew 23:33 -- Matthew 23:27 -- Matthew 7:15 -- Matthew 24:11 -- Matthew 24:24?
Smokey, my Friend, now you show me chapter and verse (from the Bible, not the Apocrypha) where we can find that Mary is Queen of Heaven, Mother of God, that she did not die but was raptured into heaven, that Mary was sinless, that Mary had no other children, etc.
Then show us where you find the Eucharist in the Bible. Forget John 6 for that happened many months BEFORE the Lord's Supper was instituted -- and in a totally different city.
Show in the Bible where the Roman Catholic church can declare a person to be a Saint -- especially where it tells them to do "group sainthood" declarations, as in Popes.
Matter of fact, show us ANY of the Roman Catholic church doctrines and teachings IN THE BIBLE.
Jesus tells us, “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect" (Matthew 24:24).
Wonder if He could have been thinking of the Vatican and the Popes?
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
