AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 15:6 he is not to honor his father or his mother [by helping them with their need].' So by this you have invalidated the word of God [depriving it of force and authority and making it of no effect] for the sake of your tradition [handed down by the elders]. |
Subject: Is Catholic considered false religion? |
Bible Note: You ask a question in your comment, One reason Catholics call Mary holy is because she is called "full of grace" or "highly favored one" in Luke 1:28" and blessed among women in Luke 1:42, 48. Generally Catholics call her the Blessed Mother. Since that is scriptural. We wonder why some other christinas do not do the same. I think the answer to you question, We wonder why some other Christians do not do the same; is evident because of the response that Jesus made in an other portion of Luke when someone in the crowed made an attempt to exalt the mother of Christ. Luke 11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. This was directed to Jesus himself and for the crowed to hear. His response to her, and the exaltation of his mother, was instantly nipped short in the bud, at that particular time, only to have it loom up to the forefront in years to come. Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. The words, Yea rather, are in fact given to discount what the woman had said and place more importance on those that hear the word of God and keep it. The next obvious question would be who are they who hear the Word of God, and keep it? It is apparent that any who would continue the action suggested by the woman aren’t hearing the Word of God and keeping it, because of their actions; they are listening more to what the woman had to say or they wouldn’t be discounting what the Lord’s emphasized! Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; Why not bow down to them? For I the Lord thy God am a jealous God! I don't know about you but I don’t want to do something that is wrong or even smacks of wrong, that would upset someone that is jealous, much less God Himself; that’s like walking on thin ice! This is the way I see it from my point of view, CDBJ |
