"Christian" Org's vs. GLO's

[MTSUGURL]

If you don't mean to offend - don't. I am assuming that you are an intelligent person that can word your thoughts in such a way that they don't offend. This is a thread about relations between GLOs and Christian orgs. It is not a place for any denomination or religion to be attacked.

The issue people have with Roman Catholicism is that it isn't Biblical. I don't mean to offend Catholics because most are only doing what they've been taught. And many Catholics are taught not to read the Bible for themselves.

That's the danger of religions-they are man-made junk. The Book of Revelation has letters to the seven churches, one of them the church of Rome (Catholicism). It talks of the offense God has with all the religious figureheads who lead people astray. It's not just Catholicism either. All churches fall short of what the Bible says, because human reasoning and ego get in the way. Catholicism is one of the more obvious targets because they are the biggest organization and their anti-Bible doctrine is so blatant. I could give you a laundry list of Catholic doctrine that is unbiblical ie (Matt 23:9 -Call no man Father (in context to religious figures) but God) If you want to learn the inside scoop on Catholicism and it's history, go to www.chick.com and get a the Alberto Series. An autiobiographical account of a former Jesuit priest , Alberto Riviera ,who exposes all corruption and un-Biblical doctrine in Catholocism.

Christ never said, make religions after me--He said, to follow his commandments, obey the Word of God and be disciples--i.e. examples of the Word.

Many of us Christians don't even know our own history. Here's a link as an example of the pagan origins of Easter. The information in this tract is supported by numerous historical documents including Josephus, the first century historian.

I'm not justifying the tactics and approach the Christians on campus may have taken, just giving some background why they believe Catholicism isn't Christian.

Oh, and don't believe that heretics aren't still being punished. Officials of the Roman Catholic Church are still actively punishing those opposed to their doctrine.It's going on in South American countries as we speak.
