So you are guilty of the same thing that you accuse Catholics of.
How does that work in your head?
I have no interest in refraining from my dishonesty and stupidity.

There is no specific verse that says exactly that. But if you actually understand the Bible, and read the whole thing, you understand you're not supposed to do that.
But please list every single verse that says we are to communicate with those who have died and now are in heaven

List every passage that says dead people can't hear our prayers. Ready? Go.
Still waiting. Don't even think you can wiggle out of this.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says that God will drive out those who call up the dead. Leviticus 19:31 says that meeting with a medium or spiritist defiles the one who came, and Leviticus 20:27 says the punishment for being a medium or spiritist was death.
So basically communicating with the dead is a no no.
And besides that, people in heaven are not concerned with things of the earth. They are busy worshiping Jesus.
Now can you show me any verse that says that we are to pray to those that are in heaven?

Stop answering a question that nobody has asked.

Do you want me to list every single Bible verse that says that God is omniscient and omnipresent? I can do that.
However, Catholics will have a real hard time finding any biblical verse that says that people in heaven are either.

Or do you have a bible passage for this that has met with your Pastors approval?
Yes or no.

I did answer his question. We as human beings have limitations. Only God is omniscient and omnipresent.

Yet you are stumped. You can't answer his question.

There is nothing to be stumped about. There is no biblical passage that says we are omniscient and omnipresent in heaven.

You know this how? Or do you have a bible passage for this that has met with your Pastors approval?
You seem to have stumped him with that one.

This is analogous to saying that humans will never discover atomic principles, because they are neither omniscient or omnipresent.
The Lord hides his gifts in plain sight

I do know their limitations because only God is omniscient and omnipresent. Even the angels are not that.

Well let's get it straight first. Are they dead or not?
Even glorified in heaven, they are still finite beings with limitations.
You know this how? Or do you have a bible passage for this that has met with your Pastors approval?
How could they possibly hear the prayers of millions of people?
The Lord says there are angels among us (it's mentioned in the bible). Do you know their limitations?
The Lord hides his gifts in plain sight

The Bible nowhere mentions anyone asking for someone in heaven to pray for him. The Bible nowhere describes anyone in heaven praying for anyone on earth. The Bible gives absolutely no indication that Mary or the saints can hear our prayers. Mary and the saints are not omniscient. Even glorified in heaven, they are still finite beings with limitations. How could they possibly hear the prayers of millions of people?

Apparently you didn't read what I wrote up above about the New York catechism and how it explains the role of the Pope on Earth.
The Pope is the vicar
of
Christ.
Yes, we do pray for one another. But we don't pray to those who are already dead.
Matthew 22:32
I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."
Except for the unbiblical stuff that the Catholic church already teaches
According to you.

100% wrong. But I'm sure your programming will not allow you to change this false teaching.

Demonstrates being taught what to think. Not how to think. We have a hierarchy to prevent a rogue pastor from teaching unbiblical teachings.

What should I be ashamed of? The fact that the Catholic church incorporated many Pagan rituals?
Like I said, you are taught what to think.
The fact that the Catholic Church considers the pope to be Jesus Christ on Earth?
100% wrong. But I'm sure your programming will not allow you to change this false teaching.
The fact that you pray to Mary which isn't at all talked about in the Bible?
We are taught to pray for one another. This you should already know.
And just by using those people that picket funerals as an example of protestantism shows you really have absolutely no argument.

Fortunately I do that everyday, however with a complete version of the bible. Thus a more knowledgeable viewpoint.
Fact is you only get your knowledge from the church. You're not allowed to think for yourself if you're a Catholic. You have to have the Bishops or the priests tell you what the Bible says.
Gosh, I can't remember the last time I spoke, heard anything from the Bishop. Excellent fella btw. And if that were the case, I wouldn't have so many disagreements with our current pastor.
What you describe is modern day Protestantism. Just look at those that picket funerals or the lock in step folks a Tempe faithful word Baptist, to see what blind worship yields.
My beef with you is the casual disregard of the one you claim we worship. The offhandedness of your remarks regarding the one that bore the light of the world is nothing short of disgraceful and you should be ashamed.
The Lord hides his gifts in plain sight

That is the perfect example of what I am talking about. The church doesn't make me a better Christian. Going to the Catholic Church doesn't make me more knowledgeable. Reading the Bible and praying to God make me a knowledgable Christian.

A word of advice.
If you want to become a more devout, knowledgeable Christian, become Catholic.
The Lord hides his gifts in plain sight

That's a bunch of BS. It's never been clarified. It's been defended by Catholics because that's the only thing that they've ever been taught and they will defend the church over anything else. The only thing that's been clarified is that Catholics are pretty much brainwashed into believing whatever the church tells them
http://www.ilsoftballreport.com/Gallery 11/DS11145.jpg

That being said, there are many things that the Catholic Church teaches that are just downright blasphemous.
Yes, regardless of the number of times they have been clarified for you. Sadly this is the result of one being taught what to think, rather than how to think.
