RE: [TruthTalk] All believers are ONE IN CHRIST

I forgot to mention, Debbie, that just because your experience of the rcc has been completely different doesn’t change the fact that it’s man made  “Traditions” alway overrule scripture every time there is a conflict between the two.  This is a fact.  How does anyone live with that?     BTW, I have had a completely different experience of the Catholic church, its tradition and liturgy.      Debbie      ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily Therefore, when scripture says we are to have no idols before God, that is overruled by the Tradition which says to bow to statutes and pray to Mary and the “Saints”, using “holy” water, beads, relics, etc.  Or when scripture says that the overseer of a church is to be the husband of one wife, RCC Tradition says it is much better that he be celibate.  Or when scripture says we are all saints and priests, the RCC Tradition says we need “Priests” to intercede for us, and only the “Church Catholic” decides who is “canonized”.  I could go on and on, but you get the drift.  That is why the RCC is absolute anathema to me as a Bible Believer.  I realize that you can’t have both.  I pity those who have been indoctrinated by it without ever getting a glimpse of the real thing.  Iz
