finally got some time to spare to post some difference
between Catholic Jesus and Biblical Jesus:
1. Catholic Jesus has been widely potrayed as one with his heart
exposed. What normally known as Sacred Heart of Jesus. No where in
the Bible did Jesus told ppl to honour his heart. The 12 promises
of honoring the heart is not biblical..it keeps on emphasizing
exposing the image of the heart to obtain grace and blessings when
one honours the picture.
2. Catholic Jesus appear in several occassions revealing images of
himself for ppl to venerate. The Divine Mercy image is one of the
occassions in which 'Jesus' told ppl to make a painting of him and
honour it to obtain grace and mercy. Biblical Jesus before His
ascension pray for His followers and gave the command about
preaching the good news and wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit,
the Helper. He didnt give instructions to make paintings and hang
and honour them.
3. Catholic Jesus is believed to reside in the tabernacle. That is
why catholics when entering a catholic church will genuflect to
show respect to the presence. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is
when catholics believed that the consecrated host become real flesh
and blood, soul and divinity of Christ. When placed in a receptacle
known as monstrance, catholics are to kneel before that bread and
worship it as if Christ is really there. Biblical Jesus celebrate
the Last supper and insititute it as a remembrance for all of us.
He never ask ppl to place that bread in a photo frame and worship
it. Worship God in spirit and in truth.
Conclusion: Catholic Jesus reveal many things in which is contrary
to the teachings of the Bible and in no way is the same Jesus as we
read about in the Bible. According to readings, worship of organs
such as Heart is a babylonian cult practise.
[b]For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the
Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the
one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted,
you put up with it easily enough. But I do not think I am
in the least inferior to those "super-apostles." I may not be a
trained speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this
perfectly clear to you in every way.
Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by
preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge? I robbed other
churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you. And
when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to
anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I
needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way,
and will continue to do so. As surely as the truth of Christ is in
me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of
mine. Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do! And I will
keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under
those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the
things they boast about. For such men are false apostles, deceitful
workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for
Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not
surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of
righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
-2 Corinthians 11:4-15

You see the way you argue is always from the Bible. It is as if
modern lawyers quote the law. Since you are so fundamentalist, why
don't you read the Bible carefully . Did Jesus ask you to read the
'Bible' or follow his teachigs or his apostles. Is the word bible
in the word ?
Jesus asked us to follow his teachings passed down from the
apostles and the Holy Spirit is always revealing Himself in
history. What you mentioned Sacred heart etc are devotions revealed
by Christ himself. It is not compulsory for Catholics to
follow.
Isn't it interesting that when protestants mentioned about so and
so pastors receive some revelations from God, nobody say anything
and just believe. But Catholics mentioned something like on a world
wide scale, they started to bad mouth.
Remember my brother, Satan always go for division and not
harmony.
Somebody said that RC bible is different from King James bible.
Sorry which one came first. Where did the King James bible comes
from ? It is definitely not from original book ( there was none ) .
It is all from the Catholic Bible.
Unlike Islam, Christianity is not a religion of a book but spirit.
Christ, in order to pass down his teaching has formed a Church -
The RC Church.
Can anyone of your man build church claim to trace back to the
apostles or may be Rome ( St Peter and Paul died there ) ?
Look at all your contradiction in all your spilted protestant
churches. Are you sure you are same in teaching ? why so many sects
?
Let me tell you why. Because each pastor seek to have his own power
base and spilt from the mainstream. Each pastor thinks he know the
bible best. Cannot agree , spilt from them. this is what happen
between RC and others.
Not humble enough to submit to authority.
Why they always based only on bible and anything not in it, condemn
?Because when you form a group, you need a constitution. You need a
base. They have no base, no Vatican, No Pope, so follow the lawyer
style, cling to a book and interpret the way they want.
