IS THE BIBLE A CATHOLIC BOOK?

By David J. Riggs

Catholics tell us that the Bible is a Catholic book. If the Bible is a Catholic book,

1. Why does it condemn clerical dress? (Matt. 23:5-6).

2. Why does it teach against the adoration of Mary? (Luke 11:27-28).

3. Why does it show that all Christians are priests? (1 Pet. 2:5,9).

4. Why does it condemn the observance of special days? (Gal. 4:9-11).

5. Why does it teach that all Christians are saints? (1 Cor. 1:2).

6. Why does it condemn the making and adoration of images? (Ex. 20:4-5).

7. Why does it teach that baptism is immersion instead of pouring? (Col. 2:12).

8. Why does it forbid us to address religious leaders as "father"? (Matt. 23:9).

9. Why does it teach that Christ is the only foundation and not the apostle Peter? (1 Cor. 3:11).

10. Why does it addresses only God Himself as the "Holy Father." (John 17:11).

11. Why does it teach that there is one mediator instead of many? (1 Tim. 2:5).

12. Why is it completely silent about infant baptism, instrumental music in worship, indulgences, purgatory, confession to priests, the rosary, the mass, and many other things in the Catholic Church?
