3 sets of 10 commandments?

I have to have a talk with my Sunday school teacher from childhood.

I probably would have been kicked out of class for questioning their teaching methods.
We were told to call the priests F*ather ........
A big no no, according to the Bible.

I was raised Catholic but saw too many practices that didn’t correlate with scripture so, I consider myself Christian now.

Catholics are Christians

That should state "Catholics CONSIDER THEMSELVES to be Christians". While Catholics have been deceived by their church's hierarchy, today they have no excuse to see the difference between Bible Christianity and Catholic Christianity.

Getting back to the title of this thread, there is only one set of Ten Commandments.

BTW Chesterton was a staunch Catholic and believed that Catholicism was true. But he did not really tell us why he believed this from Scripture.

What does the title have to do with the post?

There seem to be a lot of practices in Catholic and other churches which seem on the face of it to contradict the scriptures, although sometimes they're possible to put into context .

the Catholic Church that preserved Christianity in the early days and spread it through the world so that you've even heard of it.

Well I expect it was because Our Lord told one of his disciples to go and start it. Perhaps he noticed that it was the Catholic Church that preserved Christianity in the early days and spread it through the world so that you've even heard of it.
It's a very complicated thing you know.
I've said here before that any church is run in the physical world by men , and so we expect them to be vulnerable to sin and error. There are plenty of examples of this in Protestant churches too you know.

Catholics have a conscience just like other Christians , and each must choose where their priorities are in weighing up dogma and scripture. I don't think all Protestants accept gay marriage or abortion just because some Protestant leaders say so do they ?

I think G.K Chesterton regarded it as the enduring rock of Christianity which has been strong enough to withstand the onslaughts of history which would have destroyed those scriptures if they could.

You might compare that with the USA which, whilst imperfect, and whilst it has had to adopt harsh measures to do so, has nonetheless preserved democracy, liberty and the freedom of religion through terrible times and against wicked foes.

Hello there.

Obviously there is no Scriptural case to be made for the catholic church but the thing is, thats not really a problem to catholicism because they regard tradition as on par with scripture.

I got no problem with tradition if they dont conflict with the Bible. Thats where me and catholics go separate ways. I see a lot of the tradition they have as unbiblical (no problem there) and ANTI-biblical (big problem)

Things like confirmation saints, praying to saints, mary, bowing to statues of Mary while praying to her (specifically forbidden in the 10commandments), Papa (pope) that dresses like mama, works salvation, indulgences, mass in a language nobody understands, resacrificing of Jesus every sunday and ON AND ON it goes! The errors just dont end! Thats why its not a matter of "well no protestant church is perfect either" TRUE that, but ATLEAST you can count the errors on ONE HAND in many cases!

With the current ecumenical pope its getting WORSE and he is chilling with teh idolater hindus holding their god-statue shaking their hands and smiling like the devil he is! I know catholics who cant wait for a new pope, this one SUCKS! He isnt even catholic in doctrine, complete loser! I feel like Christianity is crumbling on ALL FRONTS, perhaps its the last days apostasy Paul prophecied, or maybe we will reel it back in soon!

Im not sure what enduring rock of Christianity he was describing, because when it comes to all forms of evil in history you BEST BELIEVE the catholic church was involved. Nothing new under the sun the scandals seem to be coming out of the catholic church over and over again. Instead of the exception, looks like its the rule for the priests to be full on hom*os, one of them recently spent CHURCH MONEY people had given and used it to buy "services" from other men. AND THIS GUY IS A "PRIEST". Stop going to that hellhole idolatreous church. You got more moral people hanging around at the BALLGAME!

You say that catholics protected Christianity in the early stages of the church, HEAR ME OUT: The "catholics" of that time WOULD NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE the abomination that is roman catholicism TODAY. They didnt pray to Mary back then! They didnt bow to statues back then! They didnt have golden buildings and billiosn of dollars back then! It only started transforming into the ROMAN catholic church in the 300s when CHRISTIANITY became a STATE RELIGION.

Wel now that i've kicked that rock, if anyone wants to have an actual discussion about the catholic church and their doctrines IM DOWN FOR IT; but first rules of engagement are: NO CREEDS, NO CREEDS, NO CREEDS can be used in the debate/discussion. I dont care about creeds. Lets focus on what the Apostles taught in the Bible!

Some of those things I'd agree with. Some seem a bit ill informed and even hostile to be honest.
It's better to discuss these things rationally and learn together through dialogue than choose sides and fight. Do you think that's the Christian message ?
There's some contoversy in the Catholic Church , you know , about what's been called "Marydolatory", and in any case praying to a Saint isn't the same as worshipping them or holding them as a "god".
I think there is scriptural reference to Saints isn't there ? Catholics might ask you why it's not allowed to ask these Saints to intercede with God, although I've always found it a tricky question myself actually.

Similarly, I find the current Pope somewhat perplexing, but there are possible explanations for that.
This stuff about " a priest did so and so" is rather silly because priests are capable of sin and wrongdoing just like various ministers and pastors from other churches. You seem to have cottoned on to the current political methodology of trying to dig dirt on an individual in order to discredit the policies of the party they represent , which is false logic .

Anyway, as I said before , a lot of Christians are Catholics. I'm sure they make mistakes and don't understand everything, but I doubt that anyone else does either. Study and prayer are probably a better way to understand than making such dogmatic statements.

Well I expect it was because Our Lord told one of his disciples to go and start it. Perhaps he noticed that it was the Catholic Church that preserved Christianity in the early days and spread it through the world so that you've even heard of it.
