You can ignore it all you want - you kneel before idols. Have a good day lol

But you'd have to an idiot to believe that the religion doesn't get interpreted

The existence of the Nicene Creed is proof of interpretation

The argument of divinity or non-divinity, the argument of saint, of whether angels can be asked for intercession, etc., etc.

Matthew 15:9
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Catholicism is a perversion, not an "interpretation." The Bible isn't some mysterious book, it's clear and to the point. Tell me WHAT exactly is the point of "intercession?" Why is it necessary, why do catholics use it? Because as far as I can tell there is NOTHING absolutely NOTHING that mentions things like this.

Show me where in the Bible it says that you should ask angels or saints to pray on your behalf

Oh wait, it's something Catholics merely added unnecessarily

Y’all turn Saints and Mary into minor gods and goddesses but 🧐

A perversion? Are we going full Luther now?

CCC par. 2675, "Beginning with Mary's unique cooperation with the working of the Holy Spirit, the Churches developed their prayer to the holy Mother of God, centering it on the person of Christ manifested in his mysteries"

"Mother of God"

how does that not sicken you?

I would never call her the Mother of God. Mother of Jesus/Christ, yes

Or am I supposed to explain away every decision made by somebody else?

Ok maybe you wouldn't, but that hasn't stopped the religion itself from doing so

Well the opinions of laymen didn't affect the Church much either, Al

Literalists or non

So you're just going to pretend like the Catechisms don't exist?

Did I ever say they didn't exist?

No, I did not

Now stop putting words in my fucking mouth

But it is a clear fact that my opinion isn't going to shift the ideas of Cardinals and Popes

or a normal priest for that matter

Ok that doesn't change the fact that what they do is wrong...

“Let’s just allow the religion to be defiled and corrupted bc I’m too small to do anything”

Al, you must have a problem reading

Because you keep ascribing stuff to me that I haven't said yet

How so lol

"Ok that doesn't change the fact that what they do is wrong..."
^I didnt ascribe you to anything, bud

Yeah, okay, sure

I stated that before, but water under the bridge

How do you justify kneeling before idols

I'm not exactly sure what point you're trying to make here

also, that

Hosea 13:2, "And now they sin more and more, And make for themselves molten images, Idols skillfully made from their silver, All of them the work of craftsmen. They say of them, “Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!"

<:thinksup:435332697586532357>

Literally speaking, that image isn't made from silver

Sounds like you're interpreting, Al

How do you justify kneeling before idols

Stop avoiding the question

I already explained the answer to that question
