What Are The Doctrines In The Bible?

Are you aware of the Immaculate Conception.
NOT of the Lord Jesus but of Mary. This belief states that Mary, Jesus’ mother, was born without original sin. It became official Catholic doctrine in 1854.
Of course, there is not one singel word or suggestion of this in the Bible.

They also claim she remained a VIRGIN for her entire married life.

They pray the rosary ( which are beads ) and pray to her directly to INTERCEDE.

They elevate the position of certain pre-deceased Catholics to the SUPERIOR level of "sainthood"... and encourage praying to the plethora of
Saints according to what they have been assigned CEO of. HA

They teach that if you die in a state of mortal sin.... you are bound to hell. Confession to a priest is not a suggestion it is a MANDATE of the church.

They teach that a priest has supernatural powers invested by GOD to FORGIVE ALL SINS.

They believe in baby baptisms as a right of passage to salvation.

There is so much more that they falsely claim.

I SPEAK as a former Catholic who had a very DEVOUT CATHOLIC mother. I would be REMISS if I remained SILENT on the absolute HERESY that this organization spews and entraps their members with.

This is a GENERAL statement and aimed at NO one in particular... but it is my opinion none the less.
 
With the above said... IF I have broken any rules... PLEASE simply remove my entire post.
This thread is NOT about Catholicism.... and so I do not desire to derail the invaluable information that is being shared here.

Now, with all due respect to you, are you aware of some of the Non-Biblical traditions that are taught in the Catholic church?

Are you aware of the Tradition of Purgatory which is taught by the RCC?
Purgatory is a place or state where souls undergo purification before entering heaven. Catholics believe it’s a chance to cleanse venial sins.
Of course there is NO such place or state mentioned in the Bible.

Are you aware of the Immaculate Conception.
NOT of the Lord Jesus but of Mary. This belief states that Mary, Jesus’ mother, was born without original sin. It became official Catholic doctrine in 1854.
Of course, there is not one singel word or suggestion of this in the Bible.

Are you aware of the Papel Infallibility?
This tradition says that the Pope, as an Apostle and Vicar of Christ can and has changed and added to the morals and faith of all members. Of course this is condemned in Deut. 4:1-2 and the Revelation 22. God said nothing is to be added or taken away from the Word of God.

Are you aware of Priestly Celibacy?
It is the practice of the Priests in the RCC to not be married. It is absolutly the opposite of what the Bible tells us.

Now.....I am not saying these things to start a n argument or a confrontation. IT is not what I do. What I do is Teach the Word of God.

So then, having said that, if an organization does these non-Biblical things, do you think that we as Christians should turn our heads and ignore them and allow those people to be taught false non-Biblical traditions over and above the Word of God to their damnation?

With all due respect the bible was written by the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, real Christians are the 1st century Gnostics whose practice was declared heresy by said Roman Bishops. I don't view the RCC in a favorable way, but I won't judge them either. People have a right to walk their own path.

That is just not correct CapeCodder. The Council of Nicaea did not write the Bible.

The Bible was penned by 40 men over 1500 years. Every word they penned down was inspired by the Lord Jesus Christ so that every word in the Bible is God breathed.

The idea that the Bible was "written by the Counci; of Nicaea in 325" is actually a falsehood that has been used to cast suspicion on the origins of the canon, which undermines the Bible’s authority.

I encourage everyone to investigate Dan Brown’s 2003 bestseller, The Da Vinci Code, planted this idea in our culture, and many now think Constantine or Nicaea established the Bible. But Brown didn’t invent this story. He only perpetuated it through his fiction.

The facts are that There is no historical basis for the idea that Nicaea established the canon and created the Bible.
The term “canon” is used to describe the books that are divinely inspired and therefore belong in the Bible. The difficulty in determining the biblical canon is that the Bible does not give us a list of the books that belong in the Bible. Determining the canon was a process conducted first by Jewish rabbis and scholars and later by early Christians. Ultimately, it was God who decided what books belonged in the biblical canon. A book of Scripture belonged in the canon from the moment God inspired its writing. It was simply a matter of God’s convincing His human followers which books should be included in the Bible.

If we can point to a date for the final canon, as we know it today, we can say between 200-250 AD, far before Rome started to see the benefit of Christianity. On the contrary, around 250 AD Rome still persecuted the church.

In AD 397, the Council of Carthage confirmed what the church already established more than a century before.

Yes, that is the Catholic tradition of Perpetual Virginity.

IN other words she was a virgin before and after the Birth of Jesus . We all know that is not true because the Bible tells us that Jesus had 1/2 brothers and sisters and if you point that out to any Catholic they will insist that those "brothers & Sister" are the cousins of Jesus.

That again is incorrect. The Greek words for cousin is a totally different word and the authors who said brothers and sisters used the Greek word for those names.

Everything you posted is correct and it can not be debated as it is a matter of fact. See post #46!

Dear CC.....I was reflecting upon your post and I saw something I did not see originally.

You said......
"real Christians are the 1st century Gnostics whose practice was declared heresy by said Roman Bishops. "

Please do not think that I am looking for a fault, my goal and calling in my last days is simply to teach the Word of God and having said that, I did not want you to be in a position og not knowing.

If you are saying that a lot of Christians came "Out" of the Gnostic belief and were Christian then you are correct.

If you are saying that the 1st Century church of people were correct in their teachings and belief in Gnosticism, then that would not be correct.

Among some of their basic doctrines, they were found to believe that the world was created by another god other than the Father of Christ. This inferior god was known as the Demiurge, also called by some as the God of Justice, as opposed to the Christ’s Father, the good God. As a result they held a doctrine that stated we are inherently depraved by nature and incapable of salvation.

The Gnostics taught that the good God, having compassion on the human race, sent his Son to show them the way to salvation. However since the physical nature of man is inherently corrupt, they taught that the Son never really became man or God in the flesh.

One of its condemning features in Gnosticism is that it combined certain elements of Christianity with the "mystery religions" extant at the time. These "mysteries" involved secret societies, rituals, levels of understanding, and strange practices like "a gripping religious ecstasy" and being "possessed by the god", whatever that is.

"Gnosis" that is, knowledge in the spiritual mystically acquired - not from God, but "mystically acquired". Gnosis was the single path to the highest holiness and the highest practice. This knowledge, is not a rational implement of empirical science or from study in the Bible, rather, it is a means of mystical and magical domination of the self and the world. It is attained by an intensive training of the body and spirit, either through asceticism, (strict self denial) or as a rule, through strict methodological meditation.

Now, if anyone is familiar with the elements of New Age Religion, all of what I just posted should sound very familiar.
