K, lemme post this and then I'm gonna go clean and will be back to post the information on tongues.
1.
In the Bible, the CHURCH is Christ's body; to a
Catholic, the church is the Roman Catholic Church system.
2.
In the Bible, you enter the church by a new birth which the Holy Spirit imparts when you believe on Jesus Christ; in the
Catholic Church, you enter it when a priest sprinkles or pours water on you.
3.
In the Bible, you come to God directly through His Son Jesus Christ, whom you contact DIRECTLY; the
Catholics get to Christ through Mary, the sacraments and dead saints.
4.
In the Bible, you commemorate Christ's death with a supper to show His Second Coming; the
Catholics re-enact Christ's death with an unbloody 'sacrifice' for the souls in 'purgatory.'
5.
In the Bible, the Scriptures are self interpreting and
contradict every Roman Catholic doctrine; to a
Catholic, the Bible is a mysterious enigma that only the Catholic authorities can interpret, and you must accept their interpretation every place where
they contradict Scripture.
6.
In the Bible, Christ's one final and perfect completed atonement completely saves and justifies and predestines the believer to wind up just like Jesus Christ; for a
Catholic, no one has his destination fixed, and Christ's sacrifice must be repeated and repeated and repeated, because it does not save anyone 'for sure".
7.
The Bible contains sixty-six books; a
Catholic Bible contains seventy-three.
8.
In the Bible, Mary is a sinner who gets saved by believing on a Saviour and she is never called "mother" one time by Jesus Christ; the
Catholic Mary is not only a sinlessly conceived mother of Christ, they call her the sinless Mother of God.
9.
In the Bible, the church is built on Jesus Christ, the Rock; to a
Catholic, the church is built on Peter.
10.
In the Bible, all sin and all sins are PURGED by Christ's BLOOD; In
Catholic land, they are purged by FIRE!
I found this on a website and agree with them all. I just copied and pasted these 10 points. I would paste the rest, but it's kind of deflamatory towards Catholicism, and I don't want to insinuate that I think it's ok to flame or belittle anyone's beliefs. I just wanted to point out the differences between the two.
Ok, now off to clean my house up real quick. Will be back.
