Bible Question:
First let me say I am not attempting to defend the Catholic Church in any fashion, shape or form. My question. Since the Catholic Church grew out of the first century church and later was felt to be in need of reformation, what and when do you feel was the first error that entered the church? Was that error ever dealt with at a later time and what was the result? Second question Without going through all of Luther's points what was the biggest problem and when did it manifest itself within the church? |
Bible Answer: I don't really think the Catholic church has gone WRONG.........there is just so much they do that I don't think has scriptural basis - their worshipping of Mary, infant baptism (which I believe started when children had a high mortality rate and they were afraid they wouldn't go to heaven) and confession....how could a priest take on that much responsibility??? just a comment...that Basilica in Montreal was amazing - I wish I could remember the dollar figure............and it has made me wonder about some of these things. I'm not sure when this all started........but my feeling is that discontent started....and SOMEONE started actually READING the bible. |
