Bible Problem

That's where he got it from, Catholic teachings. They, like Mormons, will simply deny what they actually believe and teach.

It doesn't take long to look at some posts here from Catholics and see their posts are Mary worship.
You guys sure like to speak for other people

I was brought up RC, and have been around them most of my life. They do worship Mary, and pray to the saints, ect... I have witnessed it,

But consider Luther. Ever read what he said and taught about the RCC?
 
They even wear patron saint necklaces.

I believe this is one of the marks of the beast.

Thank you. That is more credible to hear from someone with personal knowledge. What should we think of posts like this?

Well Catholics are at least right about some things. They are correct to point out that the Bible does not expressly teach Sola Scriptura

The RCC has been lying to people for centuries. Why would you believe this? Why would anyone after witnessing just the opposite?

They also worship the bread, God.

I don't believe it. I don't not. I don't make snap judgments about what I lack sufficient knowledge on, that's all. I wouldn't want people to do that about me. I try to treat people the same way, especially on topics I'm not as knowledgeable on.

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Tim 3.


Yes, why would I think for a minute that I would be completely equipped with God's word when I have priests that worship the bread god?

You can believe whatever you like. If you really would like evidence, hang out with some, and go to their church for a while.

At best this verse tells us the Old Testament is sufficient

You seem like a trustworthy guy. I'll take your word for it carbon

Do they worship Mary as God?

The Bible (which predates Catholicism) teaches that that's what Catholics (who didn't exist at the time the NT was written) are doing?

Yes, because prayer is worship.
 
Except that, once again, the NASB is not following the large majority of Greek manuscripts, in 1 Pet. 3:15. It's following a minority reading that is, almost certainly, incorrect.

Here are a few translations based on the Majority Text (and some based on the very similar TR), which is the text-type used by the believing churches, down through the ages.

1 Pet. 3:15 (WPNT) Rather, sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready with an answer for everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with meekness13 and respect;

1 Pet. 3:15 (WEB) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear:

1 Pet. 3:15 (EMTV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be prepared with a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

1 Pet. 3:15 (Geneva) But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekenesse and reuerence,

1 Pet. 3:15 (KJV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

1 Pet. 3:15 (YLT) and the Lord God sanctify in your hearts. And [be] ready always for defence to every one who is asking of you an account concerning the hope that [is] in you, with meekness and fear;

1 Pet. 3:15 (NKJV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

1 Pet. 3:15 (MEV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to every man who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you, with gentleness and fear.

Manuscripts have to be weighed and not merely counted.

No need for you to quote the versions that read like the KJV does. I can pick out from the list that read much the same as the NASB so your point is moot.


In fact this confirms my point. That is, 1 Peter 3:15 as read in many of the modern versions (such as the NASB) demonstrates that Jesus is God. The KJV here doesn't.
 
It's too late for most to catch on to the seriousness of this problem; and the information of Textual Criticism, which contains a grave error will not interest most! Thanks for the reply, and God bless! Fortunately this issue does not effect our salvation, only our growth in Christ's image.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.[Acts 5:30 KJV]

The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.[ESV]

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross.[NASBU]

The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross.[NIV]

The KJV absolutely dropped the ball here. They say Jesus was murdered and then hanged Him on a tree. He was murdered while on it, not before it. The KJV translators blew it here. Own it.
