Some people claim to be born-again Christians, but they still faithfully attend the Catholic Church. Why? They are eating at the Devil's table. 2nd Corinthians 6:16, And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? I say this caringly.
The Catholic religion is demonic! One of the great sins of Christians today is that they are so silent concerning the monstrosity of Catholicism. In 2002, 24% of all Americans professed to be Catholic.1
Catholics commit the horrible sin of IDOLATRY when they bow before a statue of Mary. Exodus 20:4-5a commands, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them... Catholics commit the sin of idolatry every time they bow and pray to Mary. Why would a Christian want to continue in such wickedness?
Although many Catholics attempt to deny that they worship Mary, the Vatican's teaching concerning Our Lady of Fatima is irrefutable PROOF that Catholics DO in fact worship Mary, even teaching that eternal life is possible by coming to Mary by way of praying the Rosary. The 5th of the 15 promises made by Our Lady of Fatima concerning the Rosary is so blasphemous that it is unmistakable, clear, proof that Catholics do indeed worship Mary (which is sinful idolatry). Here's the 5th promise...
The soul which recommends itself to Me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.2

Blasphemy!!! You cannot show me even one Scripture from the Word of God where we are told to trust in Mary, by reciting the Rosary to be saved. In fact, the word Rosary is NOT a Bible term. The Rosary is straight out of the pits of Hell. Jesus condemned vain repetition in Matthew 6:7. According to Our Lady of Fatima (whose teachings are officially sanctioned by the Vatican), a person can obtain eternal life through Mary by reciting the Rosary. In sharp contrast, Jesus Christ proclaimed in John 14:6... I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
How could Catholics be so arrogant, so blind, and so apostate as to believe that salvation is found in Mary? Jesus tells us the answer in Mark 7:9, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. People remain in the Catholic religion because THEY CHOOSE TO, period, even in full knowledge that they are going against the Word of God. God will judge them! Just as the Pharisees of Jesus' time CHOSE to follow the hellish religion of Judaism instead of Biblical Christianity, so do Catholics CHOOSE to follow the Satanic Catholic faith instead of the Bible. I tell you, Catholicism is of the Devil.
If you're worshipping within the Catholic faith, then you might as well be over in India worshipping a potato!
Catholic priests are infamous for discouraging people from reading the Word of God. They don't want anyone thinking for themselves. But Jesus commanded us in John 5:39, SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. What precious Scriptures! Jesus told the crowd to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES, and in so doing they would learn how to have eternal life; but by rejecting the Scriptures, they had refused God's plan of salvation. Is this not exactly what Catholics are guilty of? Yes, that is exactly so! Catholics adhere to a FALSE gospel of self-righteousness and sacramental rituals.
The Catholic Church has been elevating their own fabricated traditions for centuries as being equally inspired with the Bible. Catholics can't make up their minds; they keep changing their beliefs. It wasn't until 1950 that Pope Pius XII declared the unbiblical doctrine of THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY as official Catholic dogma. Since Catholics teach the lie that Mary was born without a sin-nature (what they call, the Immaculate Conception), and that Mary never committed a sin, there was a problem because the Bible teaches that sin brings death (Romans 6:23). To solve the contradiction, the Vatican simply decided to add to their doctrines that Mary was bodily taken into Heaven and never saw death. There's nothing in the Word of God to support ANY of those hellish doctrines of devils taught by the Catholic religion.
You may not heed my words of wisdom, but consider yourself warned. The Bible is God's Word; not what some religion says. Catholics actually believe that when the Pope speaks, he speaks Ex Cathedra (i.e., in the place of God). Blasphemy! You will one day stand before God and give account for why you remained in the Catholic Church, when you were repeatedly warned that is was evil and contrary to the Scriptures. It is our responsibility as individuals to seek out the truth, and respond accordingly. BILLIONS of lost sinners are being led into hellfire by the Catholic religion. Oh, the loss of humanity! I plead with you to come out, come out away from the Devil's table, and obey Jesus Christ!
If you know that the Catholic religion is teaching lies, and they certainly do, then you shouldn't be supporting their church (which is no real Church at all). James 4:17, Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. It all boils down to whether you are going to please God or continue in the unbiblical traditions of men . . .
Joshua 24:15, And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
