Why do Catholics expect bible believing christians not to judge their religion?

... when they have judged people who had the bible in their own language and tortured them, raped their wives and daughters in front of them, had their infants cut in pieces, and burned them at the stake? (Read Fox's book of Martyrs)

is it any wonder why there was such a fervor to come to the new world to escape the catholic clutches of europe? Why cant they understand that we dont judge them individually, just the institution that enslaves their minds?
 
because "Christians" are not supposed to judge the bible says so. if you are judging others you are not a christian you are a hypocrite, which sounds to be about right in your case
 
Catholics ARE Bible believing Christians, and why wouldn't they be when the Bible was compiled by their own Church, from its own writings, for its own use! The real mystery is how there can be hundreds of "Bible believing" Protestant churches whose beliefs contradict one another on virtually every point. Apparently "Bible believing" just means you read the Bible and believe "something", without concern about whether it is the truth. Truth can't contradict truth. Conflicting beliefs necessarily mean FALSE beliefs. Which means Protestantism is filled with false beliefs.
 
The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much! :D

Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe in Jesus! It is impossible to lose or "leave" salvation unless you sin. Hebrews 6:4-6 - (After the "enlightened" [baptized] fall away, they cannot be enlightened again.)
Acts 22:16 - "have yourself baptized and your sins washed away .Acts 16:30, 33 - "what must I do to be saved? ... he and all his family were baptized

The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell, is by believing, 1 Cor 13 We are saved By Grace Alone thru faith, hope, and charity , but the greatest of these is charity (Love).

Mark 16:16 - "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved"
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish
John 6:54, "Whoever eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day.
John 6:55 - to clarify further, Jesus says "For My Flesh is food indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed.

That Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead .Colossians 2:12 - "burned with him in baptism .. raised with him [in] Faith . Believe this and you will be in heaven, no matter what! Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 4:5 - One Lord One Faith One Baptism…
Catholicism leads to eternal happiness in heaven, since Catholicism teaches a gospel
Of Life everlasting with Christ. Ephesians 4:5 - One Lord One Faith One Baptism

I'm a saved believer in Jesus
 
Some points to consider:

1. Foxe's Acts and Monuments (it's proper title) is considered by most modern historians to be primarily a work of fiction, an Anti-Catholic propaganda piece to solidfy support for the new Protestant English monarchy.

2. For a true account of Reformation-era religious persecutions, read about the Catholic Martyrs of England.

3. Nearly all Protestant immigrants to America were not coming to escape The Catholic Church, they were coming to escape the moribund state- run Protestant Churches, such as the Church of England. They wished to practice their own version of Protestansim which was persecuted by the official state version of Protestanism. In other words, Protestants left Europe to escape religious persecution by other Protestants, not persecution by Cathoilcs.
