Bla bla bla, I could send you a billion pages of writing telling you why the RCC is totally and utterly HEATHEN and PAGAN. But would you believe it id I showed you? Tell you what, why don’t you do some research on your own to see why Catholicism is Pagan? Type in Google: Catholic Pagan and see what you get.

The Catholic Church is the Church Christ founded. You live outside of it, and outside of the Sacraments, at your peril. You know nearly nothing of what most of you speak and it is time to humble yourselves and read the Church Fathers. I have noticed most Protestants lose their false pride when they convert. Please come to Mass and honor Christ the way he left himself with us. God bless.

>> I like to practice meditation and christian meditation at the same time by sitting (lotus position), controlling my breathing, closing my eyes, folding my hands, and by concidering the lords word. The experience is euphoric and it builds your relationship with god. theres nothing “SATANIC” about that.

You got to be kidding.

Meditation is a way of stress relief and helps relaxation. I like to practice meditation and christian meditation at the same time by sitting (lotus position), controlling my breathing, closing my eyes, folding my hands, and by concidering the lords word. The experience is euphoric and it builds your relationship with god. theres nothing “SATANIC” about that.

However, the Catholic view of her is completely different and unbiblical. Roman Catholics view Mary as perfect as Jesus was and on an equal basis as Him – co-redemptix. They pray to her like a god! You must be in a contemplative fog if you can’t see this!! Like Deborah says – do your homework Rachael! This is not petty!! This is about blaspheming the name of Jesus Christ!

1) The way a born again Christian HEARS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO ALREADY ABIDES IS US IS VERY DIFFERENT to contemplative spirituality. Anyone who has to set aside distractions to focus on in order to know and hear God has a problem and doing OCCULT practices. The Holy Spirit does not work this way. Yes He is still small voice and a gentle whisper BUT NOT what you are describing.
2) Catholics are not Christian. Mary of the Bible is NOT the Mary of the Roman Catholic faith – please do your research on this issue.

Elijah heard God as a small still voice. Contemplation is setting aside distractions to focus on and desire to know and hear God: ‘in the stillness you shall know me.’ Also, Catholics are Christian. I don’t know why Protestants have such an issue about the honouring of Jesus’ mum. You respect the mothers of other people you care about surely? Jesus asked his beloved disciple John to look after his mother, so I can’t see how He would raise objections about His followers respecting His mother. Instead of bickering and squabbling we as Christians should aim to overcome petty divisions within the body and instead focus on keeping Jesus’ commandments, which is to love one another as He loved us. There’s not going to be denominations in heaven so best we get used to getting along with each other before we get there. Peace.
