Alaikoam Salam Andalus

Your right if he exists that is what he needs Education, Counseling and Consultation.

LOL I enjoyed your response!

At least some one understands what I am trying to get acrossed in my threads.

I guess we just have to disagree as to how the Holy Mother and the Saints, etc., looked, but I do know they are historically accurate. 

Patty well ok.......

But we just have to agree to disagree...

Brother BMZSP looming forward to your next response.

If Satan really dosnt exist then why do people worship him? ever heard of Church of satan?

People use Satan all the time as their excuse for acting badlly when in truth it is their lack of good communication skills, anger management skills, parenting skills, relationship skills and their lack of understanding how to cope with stress and frustrations that is the real problem.




Then maybe people also use God as an excuse for everything that good happnes to them, maybe in reality its all your hardwork and intelliegence?

If you deny Satan then you deny God.

There is not a magical being tempting anyone it is our own imaginations and ignorance of how to deal with life and the world.




Isnt God very much like a magical being? isnt what you cant understand through science is known as magic?

Quote

Sure we can act like the mythical creature but there is not a being creating the crisis in the world it is ourselves.



Ofcourse we are creating crisis. I think of person as an arsonist, he has the gasoline ( potential). Satan is like a Flame (wrong path). If you combine both then you burn something down. In an arsonist's case its usually the property. In Satans case he uses you, he makes you follow the wrong path, so you can do the work for him. in the end you end up burning in hell.

Patty you allocation of Biblical verses to justify "making statues" is an incorrect justification. There are many devoted Catholics (like yourself) who say that religious icons in the churches you see are not worship but are venerated as intercessors on the behalf of mankind. Although that is ideally great the images in these churches are not only historically inaccurate in the sense of how they looked, but also to venerate others such as saints or even Mary the supposed Mother of God on the behalf of yourself not only goes against the Jewish Law (which Christianity orginates from) but also the universal Law which exist in the Old Testament or the Torah.

Noting the verses about the Ark of the Covenant is hardly a justification for the veneration of Saints, and religious icons.

From the old testament of the Bible of the Christians: Exodus 20 verse one:

I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any other gods before me:

Isn't that one of the Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses?

I was raised Catholic, and left because the faith disobeys this law, period. My mother was a coptic christian from what used to be Constantinople, now known as Instanbul. She later in life reverted to Islam after my father died and was happier than I have ever seen her. She even went on the hajj before she died at the age of 72. My Uncle escorted  her to Mekkah.

To me, this scripture states that you cannot pray to any other god or ask any other person or being to intercede for you. After I obtained my degree in education with the major of history, I know the truth of how the bible was made, how Jesus (pbuh)was voted to be "divine".

If a person knows the truth and continues to say, "no, that is not it," and continues to follow his old traditions: Will God hold them accountable for being stubborn and disobedient? Who knows? We have the free agency  and will to follow Him on the true path or not. I suggest you read the Bible and stop following the doctrine of man if  you stay on the path, is your faith that of habit or faith?

Peace be unto you.

Dear Maryah,

I will just state this briefly, that I DO most certainly read and study the Bible.  I believe the Bible exactly, and Catholics certainly believe the 10 Commandments.  We also believe that Jesus gave Peter the keys "to the Kingdom" .... as stated in the Bible, and told him that "what ever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven"...this is from the Bible, is it not?  We know that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to the apostles/and to the pope to guide Him in his many decisions regarding ministering to the people who are the Church. 

Maryah, we have NO OTHER GODS BEFORE GOD.  We honor our saints and the adore the Holy Mother as the Mother of Jesus, but we do not place ANYONE above God and we most certainly DO NOT PRAY TO ANY OTHER GOD. There is only ONE God, and every Catholic knows that.   And for those from other religions who believe otherwise, they are sadly mistaken.  We ask the saints to pray or intercede for us, and that is also biblical.  If that were wrong, why would we ask other humans to "pray for my mother, etc." here on earth?

As for Aquinian, he/she is NOT a Catholic in good standing, and does not believe as Catholics believe.....which is fine.  Everyone is certainly free to believe whatever you decide in your heart is true.  But I cannot stand to see someone who portrays themselves as Catholic to teach the exact opposite of my faith.  Aquinian failed to answer my questions in regards to him being a member of one of the new heretical/dissident organizations which are outside the Church.  It appears he is a member of one of these organizations.  (It would be the same if someone came to this site and said they believe in the religion of Islam, and then went on to say many things which YOU, as a good muslim, know to be false.)

Anyway, I'll let this thread go back to its original subject.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

God's Peace.

Patty

I don't know what the future holds....but I know who holds the future.

Jesus was not voted to be divine.  If you are speaking of the Council of Nicea, this Council had nothing to do voting Jesus to be divine.  That was established hundreds of years before 325AD in the first century.  The Council was called because Arius said that Jesus was created, but nevertheless, he was still divine.  The opposite side said that he wasn't created.  The Council was called to decide HOW he was divine, not WHETHER he was divine.

I pray to one God and one God only, creator of heaven and earth.

Traditional Christians do not believe in 3 Gods, there is only ONE GOD.  So to them they are following this commandment.  That much I remember from my 25 years as a mainstream Christian.

Only the heterodoxical Christians separate the Trinity into three different beings and even then, God is supreme and anything else is subordinate.

Does this sound like any graven images you know?
