Now I was raised Catholic so now I am an ex- Catholic. I still can not understand why Catholic believers think they must get babies baptism, first communion, confirmation get all these religious sacraments in order to make it to heaven when never read the Bible. ? Must Catholic do not even have a close relationship with God ๐ when they made all these covenets. Why?
I want to know where Catholics get that baptizing babies is in the Bible. The Bible is also clear that baptizing was done via immersion not sprinkling!

They get that from the lies order of the Vatican. In fact Jesus got baptized as an adult. Catholic doctrine is not biblical. I am glad I left at 18 when I no longer live under my parents roof.

I'm on the same page with you the whole Catholic doctrine does not add up the Bible scriptures. I also believe Mary did committed sin just like any normal human being. What's it's really interesting and it cought e attention Catholic people claim they do not Idolized Mary statue but from what my eyes has witnessed I've seen catholics idolizing Mary they make statue of Mary make altars all this images of Mary put up flowers it all goes against Bible scriptures.

Anonymous(18-24)1 yThey never said that if we all do this we will go to heaven, it's to bring us a little closer to righteous God. Jesus was also baptized, baptism is washing away all our sins and entering the Christian community, then communion is confirming what we did at baptism, that is to say avoiding satan and everything that he does, or everything that can be done to become more closer to satan,
After the communion, you are considered admitted to the adult table, or you can consider yourself as someone who share meals with Jesus Christ. all these rites are to integrate you fully and similarly into Christianity, but that does not mean that all the baptized will go to paradise or that all those who are not baptized will not go to paradise, it is up to you. You choose your pathw either you go to heaven or not025 Reply- 1 y
Correction here Jesus got baptized as an adult not as an infant so that whole baptism for infants it's not biblical! A human must know right from wrong in order to get baptized and infant is not aware of what right or wrong. So no it's not ok to baptized and infant.
Opinion Owner1 yBut that doesn't change the fact that getting baptized will send you to heaven, adult or infant, it's the same, and as I said it makes you closer to God and wash away your sin, if the parents feels like they want their child's sin being washed away, it's okay, it's not as if the child got abused, and whatever right or wrong, did it hurt anyone? Did they become too pure for the world if they got baptized earlier? I don't understand why you make a big deal about when who got baptized.
Opinion Owner1 yIt's true that Catholic ideology might be not making sense but remember, Christian doesn't mean Catholic, it's literally believing Jesus Christ is your Savior and not only Catholic does sacrements. They never said "once you do all of that, you get in heaven" you should read the bible instead of blaming it on Catholic, I'm not Catholic but instead of arguing what's true or false, read the bible and you'd know how to go to heaven, what's right and what's wrong, easy.

Because the child has no idea as an infant you don't have the knowledge to know if you want to be a Catholic or not ! In some way it is abuse the infant can not decide for him or herself if she wants to be a Catholic or not. When your in highschool and you want to make that decision it's on you not your parents. But here the parents are making a choice without the child's consent. And that whole praying to Mary thing does not make since. Only His perform miracles not your status. I broke all Catholic statues when I left Catholicism.
Opinion Owner1 yDid the infant asked to be born too, as you're already here, did the parents ask their child for consent before being born?
Did the parents have to ask their child what do they want as a name?
Did the parents have to ask for a permission before putting their kids to school?
The infant had no idea what is it being born, they had no idea what it is going to school.
You talk as if your parents wanted to hurt you or abuse you in purpose, they believed that is the best for you, and you are making it a big deal, baptized or not, your life is still the same, baptized or not, you're still reckless...
And tell me what abuse mean for you?
Opinion Owner1 yAnd again Christianity is not just Catholic, it's in the bible, you shouldn't idolize anyone, if you want something from God, you ask God directly, no need to talk to a status Mary, if you don't want to pray to Mary, don't. You said being forced? I mean, when did you start to know what to do or not to do, when did you start to understand what you like and what you don't like. If you don't want to pray Mary then just don't. No one would tie you to her status just for you to pray to her.

That's different it is illegal for a parent to take away. It's against the law. Ok you are not
Making any scenes here. Accept on the whole Christianity is not Catholic you are correct and a about that. Anything else you said I disagree. I don't care if you get upset or disagree with me the fact her is Catholic doctrine is not biblical. If Catholic buildings would get all shutdown we would have more civilized humans. All Catholic people are drug and drunk addicts problematic humans and that is a fact. - 1 y

FACE IT NOT EVERY HUMAN ON THIS PLANET HAS TO BE CATHOLIC. PERIOD IM S NE KAREN!
Opinion Owner1 yYou are just putting everything around Mary status, and I said it's against the bible and that Catholic ideology doesn't make sense or to make it short not Christian, but I also mentioned other sacraments as baptist and communion and confirmation isn't only a Catholic things, it's a Christian things, isn't that you're Main question?
"I still can not understand why Catholic believers think they must get babies baptism, first communion, confirmation get all these religious sacraments in order to make it to heaven when never read the Bible. ?" And I told you all of these things brings you closer to God, maybe they don't read the bible but at least they got closer even a little bit. Illegal or not, YOUR PARENTS NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU OR ABUSE YOU, if they really wanted to abuse you, I doubt you could make it til today. They did what they thought were right when they baptized you. And honestly which law says a child can't get baptized without it's consent. And you can break every Mary statue in the world if you want to- 1 y
My parents are Catholic fanatics not that this any of your concerns. The outcome come of sending me to a stupid Catholic Boarding school outside of the U. S. The consequences they're facing now I cut them off ! Yes they did I don't care if you think that they didn't mean to. I didn't ask to be baptized oh well good thing I left when I was in my late teens. I am doing well thanks to my nanny who actually raised me all credit goes to her. My church leaders advice me I cut them off. None of their doctrine is biblical. I don't understand why why you keep defending Catholics.

A Catholic woman was in a bikini cutting off her yard now that is only to be worn around your husband in the bedroom not for the world to see
. I don't understand why how Catholic woman go to the pool wearing bikinis. When family members visit me and want to stay at my house and and not pay for a hotel I make contract for them to sing if they want to stay at my house there is no rosary prayer no statue praying for absolutely no statue praying a family member bring a statue inside my house dam well I will break it I don't care how much it cost they can not attend mass absolutely not. If they want you practice their Catholic doctrine they must get out of my house and pay for a hotel. I don't care who you are. - 1 y
Oh no your just another Catholic fanatic.
Opinion Owner1 ywhich law said it's illegal?
And babies got baptized because tomorrow is not promised,
The apostle Peter told the people, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your CHILDREN" (Acts 2:38-39).
What if you die at 5 and didn't repent for your sin because you are not old enough to choose to be purified or not
Opinion Owner1 yI'm not Catholic and I'm not a fan. Christianity is not being a fan of who or who, it's about believing in Jesus Christ and do our best to be close to Him and accept Him, help the others, even still to young to understand everything to be close to Him

JESUS GOT BAPTIZED AS AN ADULT! So why are these innocent infants who have no say about this whole baptism. I disagree ! I can careless what you think. Ok you say your not a Catholic but yet your diffending the whole Catholic system.
Opinion Owner1 yIt's not a whole Catholic system, it's a system for most of the Christianity!
Opinion Owner1 yAnd you gotta ask that to the bible, that is what's written, it's REPENTING!

1 yIt's part of Catholic faith. Catholics believe that the love and gifts of God are given through seven sacraments, which are:
Baptism.
Eucharist.
Confirmation.
Reconciliation.
Anointing of the sick.
Marriage.
Holy orders.
Most catholics can only receive 6 of the 7 sacraments unless you are widowed and decide to become a priest or nun.
