Glorify, Exalt, Honor, Worship. What tradition best elevates Jesus ---Roman Catholicism or Gods Word?

RC church - Salvation only available through the Roman Catholic church The Bible - Salvation only available through trusting in Jesus Christ alone RC church - Indulgences pay for sins The Bible - The Blood of Jesus alone atones for sins RC church - Gods church built on the apostle Peter The Bible - Gods church built on the Rock and sure foundation which is Jesus RC church - Prayers offered to Mary The Bible - Prayers offered only to Jesus RC church - the virgin Mary a co-mediatrix and co-redeemer The Bible - Jesus alone is the Mediator, and there is no other redeemer RC church - The pope receives revelation of the truth from God The Bible - Anyone who is filled with the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ can receive Gods truth RC church - Confession to an RC priest for forgiveness of sins The Bible - Confession to Jesus Christ, the High Priest, for forgiveness of sins RC church - bowing to images and statues The Bible - bowing to Jesus alone & worshiping Him in Spirit & Truth RC church - baptized into the Roman Catholic church is necessary to be part of the One True church The Bible - baptism in the Living Water, who is Jesus Christ, is necessary to be part of the One True church RC church -venerating saints The Bible - glorifying and exalting Jesus alone RC church - pope may lord himself over the flock The Bible - pastors may not lord themselves over the flock, but must be humble servants like their master Jesus RC church - perpetuation of the mass & sacraments are necessary for salvation The Bible - Jesus died once on the cross, and this one-time act was sufficient to purchase mans salvation RC church - pope may place his throne between the cherubim The Bible - Jesus was between the cherubim when He rose from the grave; the fulfillment of the symbol of the Ark of the Covenant RC church - Roman Catholic holy water The Bible - Jesus Christ, the Living Water

RC church - the acceptable sacrifice being the fruit of mans labor (way of Cain) The Bible - the acceptable sacrifice being the sinless spotless Lamb of God, Jesus Christ (way of Abel) RC church - the churchs traditions may nullify the Word of God The Bible - Gods words in the Bible may never be nullified, and are the Highest and Final authority over our lives RC church - the pope is the head authority over Gods church The Bible - Jesus is the Head of the body, which is the Head of the church Satan seeks to take the glory of God away from Jesus and redirect mans worship from Jesus towards counterfeits. If God is our God, then we must place Him and His words above all. To be a true disciple, one must follow his masters teachings. A wicked disciple will negotiate with falsehood, like Judas Iscariot. Although Judas Iscariot appears that he is for Jesus, he ends up selling out Jesus. Judas Iscariot didnt rightly recognize the true value of his Master, and sold the priceless King, for a slaves price. The faithful follower is loyal to Christ without compromise and will rightly recognize the supreme authority of Jesus Christ. It is not enough to simply believe that Jesus is God, even the demons know that. What they will not do is exalt Him and recognize His unique position. Many cultic groups claim that they follow Jesus, but will exalt their teachings above His. God says if we love Him, we will keep His commandments. His sheep will hear His voice, and they will not go wandering off after another. For the True Christian - never compromise! Stick to Gods Word and reject all of satans counterfeits
