Hello sister, the Roman Catholic don't teach the Bible but the Catechism of Rome They can't teach you how to pray because the Bible was not given to them. Christ never taught us to follow any religion but to be obedient to the heavenly father. Faith without work is death, says the Bible. Your faith must be in doing the works first, and then your prayers.
Darlin', I grew up Catholic and we most CERTAINLY were taught the Old and New Testament...and they were part of every Sunday's worship service.
I don't know where you got your information from.
Well dear lady. Imagine you go to a bookstore and sees a book with the title
"Holy Bible on the cover of the book". You take the book from the shelf, turn the pages rapidly reading short sections at random. Your goal is to find out what the theme of the book is.
Maybe you didn't go to the bookstore but your parents were Catholic, like my parents were, and they educated you in Christianity, or you were sent to a Catholic school to learn about God, Christ and the beautiful half naked angels, and even the Apostles and how Judas betrayed Christ, and the Crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Beautiful stories mixing good and bad in one pottage, under one umbrella, for your learning and praying.
In this 2nd case you didn't turn the pages of the Holy Book to discover it's theme or what it is about, because the contents were brought to you by Holy men and Women much greater than you, whom you looked up to.
Having learned that much as a young girl, and becoming an adult and even a mother.
Would you today be brave enough to question what you have learned as a teenager?
Most certainly NOT and why should you!
There is only ONE prayer in the Holy Bible from Christ himself, given to him by the Father, as is always the case. [Matthew 6:9] This ONE prayer was meant to make sure, that the purpose of God (not praying in general) would be established FOREVER meaning until Christ returns; namely the Authority of the Heavenly Father and their purpose on the earth and what to look for.
Now, if your soul really, really needs a challenge, then ask yourself this question: Was I taught the true Gospel? Then if you dare, research what the bible is about, it's theme, and compare it with the Gospel.
That's really heavy, because your world (belief system) could crumble and be turned upside down. Sometimes we must play save and stick to what we know. It's for you to decide, what the truth can do for you.
[Hebrews 4:12] For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Simply put ..the Holy Book can and will cut the unprepared into pieces, and leave their souls and thoughts, wounded FOREVER.
