A website made by yes, Satanists no lessOriginally posted by Eliyahu:
Riverm,let me hear your excuse about the cruelty shown in this site:

You may be saying Pope John Paul II made a big mistake because he said that he regret about the past history of Crusade and Inquisiton.
This is why I don't trust the repentance of RC
And riverm replied..."1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
The Catholics do deny those words. They believe their priest is also a mediator between them and God, as well as the supposed "Queen of the Universe" Mary, and also other saints who have passed on. Also trinkets, prayer beads, medals, little statues, etc etc etc."No Christian group, including Catholics and Orthodox, deny the truth of those words."
And that is one of the 2 most crippling errors of Catholicism. The Catholic Church clearly proclaims justification by faith plus works.The real issue is: how is that salvation through Christ Jesus appropriated to the individual?
To which Matt responded:Bottom line:
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
They affirm these truths in one breath then deny it in a different breath and by the practices taught to the laity.No Christian group, including Catholics and Orthodox, deny the truth of those words. The real issue is: how is that salvation through Christ Jesus appropriated to the individual?
The Fifth Marian Dogma is already a matter of practice.Four Marian Dogmas have already been proclaimed. They are
Mary is the Mother of God (QeotokoV, Theotokos), proclaimed at the Council of Ephesus in 431.
Mary was Ever Virgin, before, during and after the birth of Jesus, proclaimed in 649.
Mary was immaculately conceived, proclaimed by Pope Pius IX on 8th December 1854.
Mary was assumed into heaven body and soul, proclaimed by Pope Pius XII on 1st November 1950.
There is growing support within the Catholic Church now for a fifth and final marian dogma to be proclaimed, that Mary is Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix of All Graces and Advocate. The movement Vox Populi Mariae Mediatrici is at the forefront of the growing enthusiam for this fifth dogma. Since 1993 this movement has collected more than five million signatures in 157 countries in support of the proclamation of this dogma.

Through the dispensing of the Seven Sacraments via the sacerdotal priesthood and especially the "sacrifice of the Mass".how is that salvation through Christ Jesus appropriated to the individual?
Can you not understand that the cardinal mentioned such statements and thereafter he became the president of the Council?Originally posted by Matt Black:
Could you please explain how it is that this quote is said to come from the Council of Trent in 1524 when that Council did not convene until 1545? [/QB]
That's your personal preference, and I have no problem with that. But it's not a scriptural mandate, and you're critiquing the RCC on a matter that is a scriptural nonissue. For the purpose of this thread, I don't think this is an accurate or just critique.Originally posted by Bible-boy:
I disagree with you. A funeral is the perfect time to give hope to the grieving lost people in attendance by proclaiming the gospel.

It is a Scriptural non-issue to critique a pastor/church for not taking every opportunity that they are given to proclaim the gospel (particularly to hurting people)?Originally posted by Johnv:

Scripture doesn't say "take every opportunity to proclaim the Gospel". It says "proclaim the Gospel". To critique a denomination because the Gospel message wasn't preached at a funeral according to you is an unwarranted critique.Originally posted by Bible-boy:
