Faith in paganism

Roman Catholic faith teaches on "holy" rosary prayer. It is being promoted to be prayed by Catholic families in their home and in some cases also recited inside the Roman catholic building, alleged as "church". But what is being said in the scripture used by the Roman Catholic Alleged Church:

7 “When you pray, do not use a lot of meaningless words, as the pagans do, who think that their gods will hear them because their prayers are long. 8 Do not be like them. Your Father already knows what you need before you ask him. 9 This, then, is how you should pray:

‘Our Father in heaven:May your holy name be honored; 10 may your Kingdom come;may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven;11 Give us today the food we need.12 Forgive us the wrongs we have done, as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us. 13 Do not bring us to hard testing, but keep us safe from the Evil One.

14 “If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done. (Matthew 6: 7-14, GNT).

Is praying too long and repetitious prayer a form of paganism?

Faith in money

Pope Francis does not like "money" to be idolized. On deeper analysis however , it turns out that he was referring to "greed" in money being constitutive of idolatry. But. is the use of word "idolatry" appropriate for "greed'? Before we discuss this questionable use of word "greed" in "idolatry", let us first quote the report in www.rawstory.com. "Speaking at daily Mass on Monday, Pope Francis condemned the worship of money." "Though money itself was not inherently evil, Francis said the attachment to money lead to destruction of families, friends, and the self". “It leads you to idolatry, it destroys your relationship with others,” he said, according to Radio Vatican. “It’s not money, but the attitude, what we call greed. Then too this greed makes you sick, because it makes you think of everything in terms of money. It destroys you, it makes you sick.”

Faith in constellation southern cross

"Cross is the smallest of the 88 modern constellations ,but is one of the most distinctive types, being dominated by a cross-shaped asterism that is commonly known as the Southern Cross". ( Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) The image of the cross is the most important part of Roman Catholicism. In fact, you could see nuns, priests, bishops, archbishops, and Popes wearing crucifix. Also, by comparison, Christ called the Father in heaven as "Father" but Roman Catholicism is calling the Father in Vatican City as "Holy Father". The body of Christ is not being called holy in contrast to the cross, which is being called "holy". When Christ died, he was resurrected to life by the Father in heaven. But when the cross lost its force against early Christians, who were never afraid to die on the cross, it was resurrected to life by the Holy Father in Vatican City through the Roman Empire. Aside from calling it holy, Roman Catholicis...

Faith in mysterious deception

Only truth will set you free when faced with religious deception, which is usually carried through faith in mystery. Thus, a search for it is being required to address the issue, which is inversely related to individual's rights of freedom of choice. In turn, this freedom requires "truth" as a necessity. The less effective the exercise of freedom, e.g due to ignorance, religious arrogance, "untruthful" information, disinterest, tradition, etc., the more the enslavement by religious deception. Its detection will not only need looking at the "truth" but would need individual's personal commitment to study and correct one's belief system, without which, the "truth", despite of its abundance, would be futile and worthless. Even in calamities , religious deception is present. A religious sector may act as a representative of God by substantially promoting "God is Love" but at the same time continues t...

Faith in false name, false image and false practices

(Source of photo: Yaohú Servo Yaohushua’s facebook page). Are you faithful believers of false name, false image and false religious doctrines and practices? Also, is there trinity of lies and deceptions in Jesu s Christ, which makes the name merely a product of man's imagination and foolishness? Specifically, is Jesus Christ a real person in terms of authenticity of the name , authenticity of the image and validity of doctrines and practices being attached to him by false Christians? Or was his name merely invented by the bible , his image merely created by Leonardo Da Vinci and the doctrines and practices being attached to him merely created by false Christians by deceptively stealing the Words of God and mis-using the story of the real messiah? Related to the above issue is Habakkuk 2:12-14 , which is a prophecy for Vatican City , being the headquarter of the Roman Catholicism. As a background, Habakkuk 2 prophecy refers to the judgm...

Faith in hypocrisy

Roman Catholic faith promotes praying in public, especially, inside the Roman catholic building. Also, it promotes the alleged "holy" rosary prayer to be recited in public and in the alleged "church". You could hear these prayers in the malls and hear and see the three o'clock prayers in television. You can usually see publications showing the Pope kneeling and praying. But what is being said in the scripture used by the Roman Catholic Alleged Church : 5 “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites ! They love to stand up and pray in the houses of worship and on the street corners, so that everyone will see them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. 6 But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you. Is praying in public a form of hypocrisy?
