WHY???



As we all know or should know, Catholics pray to the Saints and the Virgin Mary.

But shouldn't that be counted as a sin??

Have they even read the Bible?

1 Timothy 2:5 clearly states that “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”.

here are some examples from the Ten commandments:

1
You shall have no other gods before me.
2
You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

The Lord stated these things as clear as daylight and yet these very people disobey these commands and claim that they have done nothing wrong.

Heres more...

How can they pray to wooden statues for protection when they can ask God himself?

How can they say that they pray wholeheartedly when they pray with words that have already been laid out for them to say?

How can they pray with their whole hearts while reciting something from a piece of paper?

How can they sit there and believe that just by telling the priest their sins that those sins would be forgiven?

And I'm not saying that praying to Mary is wrong but, she's Jesus' mother and i respect that but why would you pray to her when you can just pray to God?

HOW COULD THEY??...

ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE SINNERS AND NO ONE IS CONSIDERED HOLY BUT GOD.

and yet they consider their priests holy men that can forgive your sins in God's place.

My father and grandmother are Catholics. Me, my two brothers and mother are protestants;
