God's mercy will NOT wink at sin gentlemen, nor will He let sin go unpunished. Read your Old Testament scriptures again, starting with Exodus 34:7, "who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished".
Those who belong to Christ live a life of daily repentance, battling against sin, not making excuses for it.Look closely at Romans 6:1-2,'What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?'
Do not abuse God's saving grace, and take it in vain, using grace and mercy as a license to sin.
'What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.' Romans 6:15

Your goal is to push some type of ecumenical religion, where all embrace one another, regardless of the false teachings that lie within? Now I see why you were so adamant about pulling verses out of context from the O.T. to try and make some look bad. Nobody's perfect right? We all sin, so how dare any point out theological or doctrinal differences?

I will address, this one time, your pointing to 1 Kings 3:3, "high places were altars erected on natural or artificial eminences, probably from the idea that men were brought nearer to the Deity. They had been used by the patriarchs, and had become so universal among the heathen that they were almost identified with idolatry. They were prohibited in the law (Lev_17:3, Lev_17:4; Deu_12:13, Deu_12:14; Jer_7:31; Eze_6:3, Eze_6:4; Hos_10:8). But, so long as the tabernacle was migratory and the means for the national worship were merely provisional, the worship on those high places was tolerated. Hence, as accounting for their continuance, it is expressly stated (1Ki_3:2) that God had not yet chosen a permanent and exclusive place for his worship." Jamieson, Fausset and Brown
Now, let's get back on topic.

Let's stick to the topic at hand shall we? Let's not use poor hermeneutics and stray from what is being discussed here.

Those who are truly regenerated by God will expose false teachings, those who aren't will defend and accuse. If you are not a Roman Catholic, what is your interest in all of this?

you say 'There are Protestants who are "professors" only as well. Take the American church blinders off.' So, are you agreeing that false converts exist in your religion as well? I am not here to take the 'protestant vs. catholic' side. This isn't about what denomination one adheres to, this is about proclaiming the truth of God's word to those who defend a dead religion. Let's not go down rabbit trails, attempting to quote the Old Testament out of context to try and prove some point. Verbal professions of faith do not mean one is a true born again believer; nor does following the teachings of church tradition grant one entrance into God's kingdom.

Can you defend your dead religion's ignoring of the word of God by calling your 'god' holy father? Christ commands us from His word, NOT to call anyone on earth our father, meaning in the sense of exalting a man as any spiritual head over us. From Matthew 23:9, 'And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.' How do you defend your dead religion ignoring this command from God?

Give God glory...we must use the sword of the Spirit as our weapon against Satan and His followers. I pray we all continue to stick to God's word in giving our defense, and that we pray for those whom we engage. Our battle is NOT against flesh and blood, it is much more powerful than that; which is why we must use the most powerful form of 'defense' we have...the infallible, holy, inerrant word of the Living God.
