The Pope believe the second coming of Jesus is His presence in the Eucharist.
This is part of the address of the Pope Sunday 17th November before and after praying the midday Angelus in St. Peter’s Square.
This is how the Pope explains two central Bible verses of the second coming of Jesus:
“Then the Son of Man will come upon the clouds in the sky with great power and glory” (13:26). The “Son of Man” is Jesus himself, who links the present with the future; the ancient words of the prophets have finally found a center in the person of the Messiah of Nazareth: he is the central event that, in the midst of the troubles of the world, remains the firm and stable point.
For this reason Jesus does not describe the end of the world and when he uses apocalyptic images he does not conduct himself like a “visionary.” On the contrary, he wants to take away the curiosity of his disciples in every age about dates and predictions and wishes instead to give them a key to a deep, essential reading, and above all to indicate the right path to take, today and tomorrow, to enter into eternal life. Everything passes – the Lord tells us – but God’s Word does not change, and before this Word each of us is responsible for his conduct. It is on this basis that we will be judged.

My comment:
The second coming Roman Catholic style. Jesus appearing in the Eucharist. Unfortunately, many evangelical Protestants are being persuaded.
2 Peter 2:1
[ False Teachers and Their Destruction ] But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.2 Thessalonians 2:3
Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
You must renounce the evil of the Papacy. The Roman Catholic “Christ” is a copycat.
The Roman Catholic Church teach that “Jesus” has already returned in the Eucharist. The Kingdom of God is found inside the Church, and the millennium is the present reign of the “Vicar of Christ”, the Pope. In the Eucharist, the Catholics are told that the perfect presences of the Messiah has been fulfilled.

That’s is pure and simple blasphemy
Amen tiva82; not an uncommon act from someone who claims to be equal with God.
The pope does not claim to be God
Dear Charles

My reply:
O, yes. He do. He claims to be unfallible in matters of interpretation of scriptures, and the final authority in all matters of moral. And the Pope takes the title “Holy Father”. He is also the claimed “Vicar of Christ”, the very replacement of the Messiah on the Earth.
Jesus called His Father God for “Holy father”, and told us to not call any religious man for “father”.
John 17:11
Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.
Jesus specifically told his disciples that some of them would not see death before his return. There are things which are clouding your minds. If Jesus and the father are one, and we who do as Christ commands are his brethren, do we not share in the oneness of God the Father? I would remind you that blasphemy of the holy spirit (the unforgivable sin) also includes speaking evil of the church. Where ever two or more are gathered in my name there am I, says the lord. Speaking evil/blasphemy of the church/the holy spirit is damnable/unpardonable.
It is not blasphemy.
This is Church teaching:
Ephesians 3:10
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Is God’s Wisdom infallible? yes.
Is there really any need to say more? I don’t think so. But there is more.
Scripture says that the Church is the pillar and ground of the truth:
1 Timothy 3:15
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
God is here saying that the Church always upholds the truth. I believe God. Therefore, the Church is infallible in its moral and faith teachings.
Pope Benedict dismisses doomsday theory that world will end on December 21st
Pope Benedict XVI used his weekly address from the window of his Vatican apartments to call on Christians not to heed doomsday warnings.
Ivar, you took some parts of the message and combine with other to make your GOAL success.! The source you mentioned Zenit.org published the message partly; you took again some part from it.
Clever ministry (to whom?).
Every pope is a satanist. Only satanists would replace Jesus and the Bible with their own fake “jesus” and reject the clear statements of Scripture.
When I consider that the Vatican Jesus is NOT the original Jesus of Nazareth, then such a statement made by this spokesperson for the Vatican, would only mean to me that the returning of (their) Jesus, and the only son of (their) God, may not happen. …. And in this manner giving light to that great deception that had deceived the whole world.
And more-so his statement would only signify that the alliance of the true Kind and Loving Nazarene Christ, lead by the Original Good and Righteous Ancient God Head, both of which are represented by the returning of that true Positive Light Eminence of a Royal and Supreme Celestial Being, has finally reached a none stoppable turning point.
Look into preterism. There is much truth there.
Dear Servant
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
A quick one from Wikipedia:
“Preterism holds that Ancient Israel finds its continuation or fulfillment in the Christian church at the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70”.
This is the belief system of Replacement theology, the ideology of Rome.
The Pope basically believe that Jesus is only comming back, as perfected in the “Holy Eucharist”. There is no second comming to Jerusalem. The Roman Catholic Church represent the millenium kingdom of Earth, and the Catholic mass is the de-facto worship of the “lord”, physically present in the round wafer.
I don,t think there satanic but they do have problems with the devil working in the church but who ain,t we are all equals yeah x
Oh ye of little faith… I was raised and baptized Protestant. I know what my “Christening” in the Protestant church was; very equivalent to the “baptism”, my children received later when we began to practice our Christian faith in the Catholic Church. Although I was “baptized” as a baby in the Lutheran Church which the Catholic Church recognizes as an equivalent holy sacrament, my baptism, full immersion and decision to give my life to Jesus and follow Him, forever as my Lord and Savior with all my sins washed away, was equally celebrated in First Communion with a deeper understanding of the Rememberance as practiced in the Catholic Church– very beautiful. Regarding all the comments about Catholics not believing or the Pope not believing in Jesus second coming, I am led to share Today’s timely reading found at http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/082715.cfm says at the end:
“Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant,
whom the master has put in charge of his household
to distribute to them their food at the proper time?
Blessed is that servant whom his master on his arrival finds doing so.
Amen, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property.
But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is long delayed,’
and begins to beat his fellow servants,
and eat and drink with drunkards,
the servant’s master will come on an unexpected day
and at an unknown hour and will punish him severely
and assign him a place with the hypocrites,
where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.”
1) Tell me again that we don’t believe Jesus is coming back? Read the WHOLE article on whatever they misquoted the Pope on. Go to http://www.vatican.va/ to see exactly and completely what he REALLY says. We say the prayer in every mass, “Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again.” Tell me again that we don’t believe Jesus is coming back? There has NEVER been anyone in my Catholic experience tell me that Christ will come back. There may be interpretation differences with Protestants, I don’t know, but nothing that could call “all Poples Satanists”.
2) It takes a lot of reading to become informed. Catholic scholarly readings are pretty thorough looking at all sides of an issue when upholding the truths of the bible and why we believe what we believe in God’s word.
3) Learn your history: Until the 1500’s, ALL scripture that you have today had been carefully recorded, preserved and maintained, like the Hebrew Sopher’s did with the Torrah. So accurate was the bible, preserved for the first 1500 years by the Catholic church, that when they found the Dead Sea Scrolls in the 1900’s, they were like 95% accurate to the original; more accurate than most other historical documents today.
4) God preserved His church with Martgin Luther. Corruption in the Papacy was trickling down into the church, so God split it. It has been fairly reunited now with Catholics and Protestants who have quit fearing each other and started talking it out and truly trying to understand where the differences are and the similarities. We are on Christian Church of Christ, the Catholics, the Protestant, AND the LDS, the central church who also live by the word of God not in contradiction to their prophet Joseph Smith.
5) If you don’t want to be that servant at the end of todays reading, pray the prayer I prayed, to be that faithful servant, not the one who beats down his fellow servants with a special place for hypocrites where Jesus will send them on the last day of judgement. Pray for truth; test it against His word, not the hearsay or men.
Peace be with you brother, whether you believe it or not.
Andy, you are an idiot. THE Catholic Church arranged the Canon of the Bible look up St. Jerome and stop being a moron. The Holy Roman Catholic Church is the first and only legitimate Church established by Jesus Himself made up of flawed sinful people yet the Mystical Body of Christ on earth. You have the internet, look up history not sectarian websites. Smarten up.
The Lord Says If that day is not short even the elect shall Be deceive, so believe me the Time is about to click every true born again christians should get ready
I know you left this message some three years ago one Josephine. I think that you refer to Mathew 24:23-24! For Faulse prophets will appear and perform great signs & miracles to deceive even the elect.
How do you become born again?
James, I am not Josephine but I wanted to respond to your question no less…:]
The term “Christian” means to be Christ like in one’s character. Defined as = [used adjectivally] to describe anything associated with Christianity, or in a proverbial sense “all that is noble, and good, and Christ-like.”It is also used as a label to identify people who associate with the cultural aspects of Christianity, irrespective of personal religious beliefs or practices. True Christianity is not a religion (church/ritual) it only means you “believe” Jesus was the Son of God in Heaven, our Savior and you have accepted his gift of sacrifice in his death = believers of the promise. In order to be Christ like you have to have put on His name. Biblical breaking “bread” Is symbolic of us feeding on Gods WORD. That is Communion and Fellowship. In Spirit and in Truth. Not a ritual, it’s the way of LIFE. The one’s walking in the Spirit know this, the one’s walking in the flesh are doing idol rituals. Our God speaks both through WORD and works. If we are under Jesus’ lordship, we can discern which actions are from the Lord.
“Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of your son, my Lord and Savior Jesus, Christ.
I ask you to place me under Jesus’ Lordship, stir the gifts in me
and increase the anointing on me in the name of Jesus.
Holy Spirit, please work your miracle in me, to make me a listener to
Jesus voice only. Prepare us for the arrival of great and glorious change.
Jesus, I hear your knock. Yes, yes come in!
I’ve opened the Father’s WORD to hear and live by every word coming from your mouth Lord Jesus CHRIST.
Speak to me, yours is the voice I want to hear ONLY
The blood of Jesus surrounds and protects me
Amen”
The servants are to continue Christ’s work on earth in preaching the gospel and declaring God’s will to men.
God bless you and keep you close, Victoria

Why so much hatred toward the Pope and little talk about Islam? Islam is burning the world not Rome.
Dear Eb
Shalom, and love in Jesus
You wrote:

My reply:
When you write such a comment, you have not based in on a study of the records of this blog. But rather on a presumption that the Pope is not an anticrhrist. On this blog Muhammad is belled as a false prophet. The carthoons that portray the funder of Islam as a terrorist had been published every year since 2008, the year I started News That Matter.
If the Pope is an antichrist or a false prophet, could hardly matters. Satan is his father anyhow. Like Satan is the father of Muhammad.
The problem by shifting the role of these two men, is a possible theological short circut. The Pope has never claimed to be a prophet, and can therefore not be a false version, of what he has never claimed to be. The Pope do claim to be “Holy Father”, “god in the flesh. And “Vicar of Christ”, the highest representative of the Messiah on Earth, his very replacement.
I simply fail to understand why Christians do not understand such a basic lesson. I do understand that the Jesuits are working hard to blur the mind of the believers, to lead astray to accept the Papacy. Many people have betrayed the gospel, and sided with the enemy.
I think there is a lot of misconception on the practice of catholic church.i wonder how many of you have been raised in that faith have listened to the mass being said and have taken the wording in its basic meaning

My reply:
I know you are a newcommer on this site, and are not willing or able to debate on scriptures. You are also to young on this site, to be aware that there are dozens of commenters on News That Matters who have been deeply devoted religious Roman Catholics. Today obey the Word of God, and challenge all Roman Catholics to leave their cult behind.
The Catholic practise, the mass, is nothing but a sequence of blasphemies. But if you do not have the Word of God as the highest athority in your life, It will be pointless for me to explain this to you. You need to study the Bible, and be able to defend your faith based on scriptures.
Please listen to what I am telling you.
Not just the pope,the hatred flows out to many,it fits in with the theory of there end time,man will destroy man it will be by our hand in the name of GOD
The vatican /jsuits created islam. They are very snakey
Thats because the VATICAN wrote the QURAN and created Islam! Fact. A Catholic Bishop of Mecca declared (false) Muhammed a prophet. Research it folks. This is why the Quran’s words are in Syriac/Ethiopic/Latin based morphologies. Jesus spoke and wrote in “Basque” (isolate) where he was born and raised in Basque (what is now Iberia) before the Roman Republic invaded and took over. The church is Idol/Hinuism worship. The Roman Catholic church is the Mother Harlot and her “daughters” Islamism, Judaism, ZIONISM etc., Jesus is the only Vicar… the bridge between God and His people then, now and always. By design, the Jezabel/Harlot church never encouraged her followers to read the Bible for a reason.The NT is the only real thing in this world. God made sure. I am a former devout Catholic. May the truth set you free from bondage. God bless
The scripture is saying, How many believe the report of God concerning JESUS CHRIST and his finished work on the cross. Is our faith based on what God has said…on what the world says?
You must renounce the evil of the Papacy. The Roman Catholic “Christ” is a copycat.

What Blasphemy.Their popes think they are Christ in the flesh.oh but then wait a minute,they put Christ in a wafer..They eat Him.Now,in the last days the sign before the coming of our Lord is DECEPTION.This is Deception and blasphemy.Jesus’ Body was our Once and for all sacrifice 1Cor.5:7 God was in that Body 2Cor.5:19.Actually ,the popes are anti christ,as they put a wafer as Christ..they are the spirit of antichrist…Know God,know His Word..Do not be deceived…now can you picture a wafer coming to earth for us?NO,Noway Jose’lol…I mean popes even think they make saints lol.We who abide in Christ 1John3:6-10,are sealed by His Spirit Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
We ,the saints of God are cleansed in the soul cleansing Blood of Christ from all unrighteousness 1John1:9,10,have repented away from sins to God Luke13:3,have confessed our sins to God in Godly sorrow 1John1:9,10 and are forgiven,we now walk in obedience to Father God by His Spirit…The Sainys of God.Now I strongly urge you to study Matt.23 ,you will see the phariseic Catholic religion clearly.
the lord is returning..the Bible tell us the signs and to know when hes even at the door…the pope a fool he wants people to look to him as God..
Joan rogers, im not defending the Catholic Church, But Catholics would laugh at you statement that popes think they are Christ in the flesh!! also you must look at it from a catholic point of view, nothing is impossible to God and Catholics are thought that on Holy Thursday night , Jesus instituted the Eucharist and with God everything is possible even turning a piece of bread and some wine into his body and Blood. true Catholic believers have real faith in God and are very devout . allot of us so called Christians could learn from them by their faith and works, that’s the error unfortuanitly as we know that works do not get us to heaven, so instead of bashing Catholics and arguing with them with What you think Catholics are about, half truths remember its the hierarchy and not the people. show them by your love of Christ and witness to them the good news of the gospel. ,WHEN I WAS A CATHOLIC I NEVER HEARD OF THE EUCHARIST BEING THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST SO I DON’T KNOW WHERE THIS POPE HAS COME FROM.
Lily,
You said: true Catholic believers have real faith in God and are very devout
My Comment:
James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that–and shudder.
Catholic people can stand there and believe in God. But the road they travel is still the wide gate, because of the continued idol worship, kissing dead bones, the pope prancing around as if he were holy, the list continues, all of this leads many to the wide gates of hell.
I am a former devout Catholic. Now a Christian.
1. Are you aware that Jesus Christ was NOT of Jewish faith nor any religion for that matter?!
2. Did you know ‘religion’ was JESUS greatest obsticle while on earth and during His minististry?
3. Have you researched Catholics were not taught to read the NT bible but to allow priest, pope, bishops etc., to tell us thier interpretation of it.
4. Did you know Jesus was NOT middle eastern?!
You should know Jesus, CHRIST, the only begotten son of God our Heavenly Father, spoke and wrote in the Basque language (now known as the region of Iberia) and Basque (the worlds only true Isolate) language in what the orginal gospels/NT were written in. Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic are each hybrid/generic newer construct languages created by the Roman Republic/Vatican to fool the masses and create all these ‘ism’ false religions. They also created the false state of Israel in 48′ via thier cover ploy United Nations. Be aware that the Roman(Jezabel) church, the VATICAN nor any of the popes have ever divulged this TRUTH to the world? It’s by design I CAN assure you. They are the evil
son(s) of perdition our Savior warned us of. They work through the spirit of Satan. Willful ignorance is a choice. Truth is felt and lies are sensed. God bless. -Victoria
Cardinal Cajetan told Martin Luther that the pope was above Scripture. Nobody is saying that the popes ever thought they were Christ on earth, but that they acted like it, in the delusion that they were Christ’s infallible representative on earth.
Pope John Paul II on opening a ‘holy door’ in Rome quoted an early pope who was responsible for the murder of many innocent people, a pope who brought his two mistresses into the Vatican with him, a woman and her daughter. (He was having sexual relations with them both.) How did John Paul have the gall to quote his evil predecessor, Lily? Because he believed in the blasphemous and non-Biblical teaching that popes are infallible.
Listen to the late Dave Hunt on YouTube debating with a Catholic theologian as to whether the Catholic Church is truly Christian. Listen to John MacArthur on the same subject. Read a new book, Sola Scriptura the Protestant Position on the Bible (Reformation Trust) with essays by leading Reformed theologians. I am an ex Roman Catholic.
Rome wears a thousand different faces for the world as Martyn Lloyd Jones said.
LOL, once again a bunch of born again Christians spewing their vomitus blasphemy, you guys just keep reading things the way that the suit you and keep judging everyone else’s faith the way you always do… Although I should have been forewarned entering Zionist territory…
I sometimes wish I could take this crap seriously… but please, saying Catholics have the fake Jesus?! someone obviously forgot all about the Mormons…
Peace be with you.
Don’t be a flagrant idiot please. The injection of personal opinion vs historically factual proof is to the point here that it is nauseating. It’s only a matter of connecting the dots… Spiritual freedom is good to the humble people who wil cherish and conserve it. Not to the proud. When you are under the Lordship of Jesus, you break free from the Devils bondage and deceptions. You simply must make the choice. As either you are for Satan thus against God (wittingly or unwittingly- via ignorance, apathy or denial), or you are for God and against Satan. The line must be drawn. All thoughts and beliefs belong to one of two realms- the realm of truth (God’s) or the realm of falsehood (Satan’s). Even the thoughts that apparently originate in a man’s mind come from one of these two sources, for the mind itself is either darkened by Satan and therefore fertile soil for his teachings, or renewed by God.”
Barbarian Romans are from the ‘Latium’ (Latin: Lătĭŭm [ˈlatjʊ̃]) is the region of central western Italy in which the city of Rome was founded and grew to be the capital city of the Roman Empire. Catholicism, ZIONISM, Judiasim and Islamism are all Hindu based theosophies. Papism is Paganism,” whose self-appointed god dwells in the Vatican. Functioning as a dictatorship ruling the world, by falsely using the name of Christ.
Example:
Arabic “Ameen” is a Latin based word.
-ine
1.a suffix of adjectives of Latin origin, meaning “of or pertaining to,” “of the nature of,“made of,” “like”:
2. a suffix of feminine nouns ; Meena 1 Based on Hindi, Sanskrit languages “Fish” = Fish god
The Holy Spirit teaches that the most powerful Satan-possessed human conquerors of all time, the final “Antichrist” system are here today during this tribulation generation. The Pope uses the title Vicarius Christi, meaning the vicar of Christ. The papacy first used this title in the 8th century; “VICAR OF CHRIST” defined as substitute of Christ or instead of Christ. Removing Christ DIVINITY. This directly opposes God’s will. The harlot churches were not following as Christ taught but as sinners wanting personal gain of Christ.
Biblical “ANTI-CHRIST/ANTICHRIST“ ― Any and ALL forces which go agains the redemptive and forgiving power of Christ as an ambassador OF PEACE AND GOD’S PEACE. Rulers such as this, lead God’s people astray and tend to brutally torture and murder God’s children/Christians. The influence of religion as a whole, creates a core paralyses in the spiritual social development progression of all those who follow it. You can see the truth in spite of the deceptive “stories” or folklores written. You can’t always fight all the stoires but you can choose the way you live. -Victoria
Judge not.
the pic tells the story. It a Sun he is holding in his hand. papacy church was birthed out of church/state pagan religion. Nothing birthed out of that is of God
How much is your faith rest upon the foundation the Catholic Church’s teachings?
Bet it is more than your willing to admit or even know.
Malachi 4:2
2 “But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall.
1 John 2:1
2 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous
Proverbs 4:18
18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.
Malachi 4:2 is a direct Biblical connection between the sun and the Son, for it is the Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity who is the righteous one.
Psalm 19:4-5
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
Here the sun is as a bridegroom, again prefiguring Jesus Christ.
Dear armorrcc
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Good to have you with us.
You wrote:
Here the sun is as a bridegroom, again prefiguring Jesus Christ.
My reply:
You better quote the full Psalm, and not take two verses out of context.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
(end of Psalm, 19: 1-6.)
“They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them”.
How can this pslam, be used to “prefigure Jesus the Messiah”?
In regards to the “Christ” of Rome, anything is possible. The Vatican do worship the pagan sun “god”.
I agree that the Catholic church is the great Whore of Babylon, but the irony is that so many “Evangelicals” are using the new Vatican Versions with their artificial “interconfessional” New Testament texts. Any modern version based on the UBS/Nestle-Aland critical Greek text is in fact a Vatican Version. Sounds outrageous? Here is the Proof – Undeniable Proof in their own words.
Just Google – “real Catholic bibles Another King James Bible believer” and see for yourself.
“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Luke 8:8

Satanic worshipers prefer this cookie to hold black masses (inversion or parody of the Catholic Mass that was indulged in ostensibly for the purpose of mocking God and worshipping the devil) .
WHY? Satan is more intelligent than you and he knows better than you.
Anyway just to inform you all – Jesus said to Maria Divine Mercy – “Two comets will collide, My cross will appear in a red sky”
Oldman,
You said: Satan is more intelligent than you and he knows better than you.
My comment: You give the devil too much credit. A believer of Christ can rebuke the devil, and he will flee: in the name of Our King Jesus.
Your comment: Anyway just to inform you all – Jesus said to Maria Divine Mercy – “Two comets will collide, My cross will appear in a red sky”
My comment: So your not catholic, yet you make catholic remakrs by saying “Maria Devine Mercy?”
I’m sitting here shaking my head. As you must know (and I’m assuming you speak of Mary the mother of Jesus), she was a sinner like us all.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Gloria,
You may misunderstood my comments above. Read it again.
I assume you are aware of ‘Black Masses’ . It is an inversion or parody of the Catholic Mass.
I wrote: Satanic worshipers do the opposite of ‘catholic mass’. WHY?
Maria Devine Mercy is not mother Mary. She is believed to get end-time messages form Jesus. And these messages are published on **removal by editor** site. It seems true.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, – TRUE. But, by the Grace of God, anyone can shine like sun. Isn’t it?
Oldman,
That is the reason why I wrote “assume”. Meaning i can be corrected.
Second there is no “devine” anyone. Only Jesus Christ can be described as devine, not a sinner.
Third, do not post links on this site.
Divine Mercy is God’s Mercy.
Likewise I can say Gloria only to God.
Oldman,
Your exact words were, “Anyway just to inform you all – Jesus said to Maria Divine Mercy – “Two comets will collide, My cross will appear in a red sky”
You said “Maria Devine Mercy”, and you stated it as a person that Jesus spoke to.
Gloria,
The Irish woman wishes to be known by the name Maria Divine Mercy. (Maria with Divine Mercy)
Google it, you will find the exact detail with “Maria Divine Mercy”
Oldman,
I won’t google any claims by a woman who wishes to be known as devine anything. As I stated before, there is no sinner who should ever be called as such.
Let’s give it a rest.
Gloria,
It is your wish.
she is not divine. she have God’s Divine Mercy!
Mary was special, even the Bible says that she was. I can also names two people who never saw death and went to be with God in their human bodies,. Now if no stain or wrinkle can get in what does that say about these two men?

at all; for we have
already charged that
both Jews and Greeks
are all under sin;
10as it is written,
“There is none
righteous, not even
one.”
. ( Romans 3:23 ) – “for
all have sinned and
fall short of the glory
of God.”
C. ( Psalm 14:3 ) – “They
have all turned aside;
together they have
become corrupt;
there is no one who
does good, not even
one.”
The Bible clearly teaches that all
people have sinned — except Jesus
(1 Peter 2:22 ). Romans 3:23 clearly
condemns all under sin. But when
it mentions people like Job, Noah,
Zacharias, and Elizabeth as people
who were “blameless” and
“righteous” it is not saying that
they are not sinners. It is saying
that they were godly people, who
kept the commandments of God
and in that sense, they were
righteous. But of course, we realize
that no one can keep the
commandments of God perfectly
which is why all people are
deserving of damnation (Eph. 2:3 )
and why we need a savior. If
righteousness can come through
the Law, then Christ died
needlessly ( Gal. 2:21 ).
Hi saints. Sorry. I didn’t know you could post links here.
I agree that the Catholic church is the great Whore of Babylon, but the irony is that so many “Evangelicals” are using the new Vatican
Versions with their artificial “interconfessional” New Testament texts. Any modern version based on the UBS/Nestle-Aland critical Greek text is in fact a Vatican Version. Sounds outrageous? Here is the Proof – Undeniable Proof in their own words.
Undeniable Proof the ESV, NIV, NASB, Holman Standard, NET etc. are the new “Catholic” bibles
“Mystery, Babylon the Great, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth..is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit…and the inhabitants of the earth have
been made drunk with the wine of her fornication…Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins” Revelation 17:2-5; 18:2-4

“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Luke 8:8
What if the Catholic church is NOT the great Whore of Babylon but is Islam?
Here is Part Two where you can see the actual textual omissions found in ALL the new Vatican Versions like the ESV, NIV, NASB and the modern Catholic versions

Um. Where does it say he thinks it’s in the Eucharist?
Peace and love to all. I am a Catholic and am shaking my head as to where does it say that the final second coming of Jesus is in the Eucharist. We do receive Jesus in the Eucharist though.
About the second coming of Jesus, just last Sunday we read about it in scripture.
I wish you would care to know the truth about what we are doing in the Catholic church. Be careful that you are not joining satan in condemning the brethren day and night (Rev. 12:10).
You can copy and quote any verse in the Bible to prophecy and condemn us Catholics. If you are wrong, you would have to be answerable to Jesus when you meet Him face to face. I do find it ironic that a non-Catholic dare to pass judgement and think that they know the truth about our faith.
Let the love and the compassion of Jesus be in your heart and pray for us IF YOU THINK we are wrong.
God bless all of us and may you and all of us be led to the way, the truth and the life.
See you in heaven. Amen.
The Catholic church is not the same church in every country. It adapts to the “environment”. Here in Norway it is very close to Lutherans. In Lithuania it is something completely different. And in Spain even worse. Just check out how many titles and names the Eternal Virgin, Queen of Heaven, have only in Spain.
Vicarius Filii Dei revealed:
God bless you in search for the plain truth.
Greetings from Norway.
To shek1na:
There is an old saying among we Protestants.
The Catholic Church is like a lamb in a country where it is being persecuted.
The Catholic Church is like a tiger in a country where it enjoys total dominance.
The Catholic Church is like a fox when it is in a country where there is religious freedom.
Nobody denies that Catholic lives are not holy. There are saintly Catholics such as Jeanne Jugan and Mother Teresa, and many like them.
There are Catholic intellectuals such as Hilaire Belloc who said, ‘The faith is Europe, Europe is the faith.’
The problem lies with the hierarchy, the Curia and the Vatican. They rule over millions of Catholics without any wish to involve them in the life of the church. The cardinals and bishops are like the Pharisees whom Jesus condemned for their spiritual pride.
A professional Catholic man of my acquaintance, a man aged 80 plus, started a blog called Feed My Sheep/
He told me his local bishop hasn’t even bothered to respond.
Dear Bro Ivar,
Since the moderator of this site didn’t allow my url (Catholic Daily Reading) to be published here re the Word of God, read and reflected by ALL Catholic churches/catholics worldwidde last Sunday Nov 25th, let me produce it below:-
The Solemnity of Christ the King
Lectionary: 161
Reading 1 Dn 7:13-14
As the visions during the night continued, I saw
one like a Son of man coming,
on the clouds of heaven;
when he reached the Ancient One
and was presented before him,
the one like a Son of man received dominion, glory, and kingship;
all peoples, nations, and languages serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that shall not be taken away,
his kingship shall not be destroyed.
Responsorial Psalm Ps 93:1, 1-2, 5
R. (1a) The LORD is king; he is robed in majesty.
The LORD is king, in splendor robed;
robed is the LORD and girt about with strength.
R. The LORD is king; he is robed in majesty.
And he has made the world firm,
not to be moved.
Your throne stands firm from of old;
from everlasting you are, O LORD.
R. The LORD is king; he is robed in majesty.
Your decrees are worthy of trust indeed;
holiness befits your house,
O LORD, for length of days.
R. The LORD is king; he is robed in majesty.
Reading 2 Rv 1:5-8
Jesus Christ is the faithful witness,
the firstborn of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth.
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
who has made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father,
to him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen.
Behold, he is coming amid the clouds,
and every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him.
All the peoples of the earth will lament him.
Yes. Amen.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, ” says the Lord God,
“the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty.”
Gospel Jn 18:33b-37
Pilate said to Jesus,
“Are you the King of the Jews?”
Jesus answered, “Do you say this on your own
or have others told you about me?”
Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I?
Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me.
What have you done?”
Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this world.
If my kingdom did belong to this world,
my attendants would be fighting
to keep me from being handed over to the Jews.
But as it is, my kingdom is not here.”
So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?”
Jesus answered, “You say I am a king.
For this I was born and for this I came into the world,
to testify to the truth.
Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
*******
The above is read and reflected by all the Catholic churches throughout the world.
We Catholics do not deny the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The name of Jesus Christ be praised and glorified!
Dear Jane Sal
Shalom.
It is true that it is written about the second coming of Jesus, also in Roman Catholic versions of the Bible. The problem is that the Pope says that we can not take what is literally written, and apply it to the present World.
The message needs to be put into the right “context”, and the Papacy claims to be infallible in matters of really understanding what God is trying to tell us.
The Bible clearly say that Jesus the Messiah had siblings, and that His mother was a Jewess who offered a sin offering in the Temple. This kind of scripture-message is rejected by the Pope. He goes on explaining to us, that “Jesus” was a lone child, that his mother never had sex with her husband, because she was like the pagan queens of the Babylonians: Ever virgin.
The Bible also says that you have to obey the Word of God. Even Satan knows what is written, but he has tried to twist the message from the day he appeared in the garden of Eden.
If you believe in the return of Jesus, physically, and first to appear in the clouds of Heaven, you are right. Please also obey the other messages, and reject the falsehood of the Papacy.
You are a real Catholic Christian, Jane Sal. I am reminded of Lisa Mladinich who has her own Catholic blog on the Patheos website as well as a blog on a Catholic website. Lisa is author of a new book ‘True Radiance’, which is offering a Christian counter-cultural alternative to the degrading images that our decadent society imposes on women through sexual permissiveness, movies, TV and advertising. You can see Lisa being interviewed on YouTube. One thing is clear to me. I can take part in prayer meetings with Roman Catholics in a way that just isn’t possible with Jehovah Witnesses, who deny the full deity of Jesus Christ, or with Mormons, who deny the very principle of Sola Scriptura.
Yes, Jesus Christ will return to judge the living and the dead. As Blaise Pascal said – when the author of the play appears on the stage, then the play is truly over. When Jesus appears, our present world in all its sinfulness, suffering, injustice and inequality will be over. And so to all opportunities for repentance. That last day will be a wonderful day and a terrible day, depending on where each one of us stands in relation to Jesus Christ. We just have to get right with him and no one else. John Wesley used to remind the rich people in his own time that they would have to give an account of their life before the judgment seat of Jesus. Today in Britain few people read John Wesley’s journals or get a chance to hear the great hymns written by his brother, Charles Wesley. In my own country of Scotland street preachers are being arrested by the police who are following the new tyranny of political correctness.
We are lucky to be alive in a time when the Gospel of Jesus Christ can be made known to men, women and children as never before in all human history. We are seeing the first sign of cracks appearing in the atheistic mindset. A leading philosopher who spent his life attacking Christianity has said publicly that he got it wrong. Read ‘There is a God – How the world’s most notorious atheist changed his mind’ by Antony Flew, published in paperback by Harper One.
It is crazy to me that Catholics supposidly know the Bible and yet participate in the pagan practices and idolitary that the Catholic Church promotes!!! The Whore of Babylon is well described in the Bible and the Vatican/Catholicism is as it describes so there is no question of what they are!! They use the symbols of Ancient Egypt in their ‘Ceremonies’ – just open a book on Ancient Egyptian symbols and you will see them there which begs the question why!? and who is it they are really worshipping!!!
Hi saints. How is it that so many born again, blood bought Christians can be aware of the false doctrines being taught by the Whore of Babylon, and yet use and promote the new Vatican bible versions? What irony! Does this sound ridiculous? Well, here is the proof in their own words, right out of the Nestle-Aland critical Greek text
http://brandplucked.webs.com/realcatholicbibles.htm

“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Luke 8:8
Dose it not read that God is not the author of confusion. I’m confused as I read the text above. Born and raised catholic. An alter boy for many years, clear vision was not ever an option. Catholics are mistaken twice when they put Jesus in a wafer and the Holy Spirit in their church. On the other hand I’m not siding with the harlots either. Just because you throw stones at your mother dose not make you not her children. No matter the side, that’s not the race. The race to us is the eternal relationship, to be taught by the gift of his presence. How dose either faction get us closer to that.
The mother and her harlots do serve one purpose (and that was just rethought to me by my child as he picked up his children.) Why should not the seeds of his spirit be sown in the dirt of mere consiciousness. Come out of her my people

BLASPHEMY.
Dear Ivar
You said: The Vatican do worship the pagan sun “god”.
As a ex Catholic you should know better than that. Catholics do not worship the pagan sun god.
The prophets of the Old Testament bring prophetic voice by using the sun, to the coming Birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Here is another one – from the New Testament this time:
Matthew 17:2
“And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light.”
Jesus Christ our Saviour is the true Life and Light.
Here is another one from the Old Testament I just found:
Isaiah 60:19-20
“The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you by night; but the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun shall no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself; for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended.”
The light of the sun prefigures the Light of the Son.
You really misunderstand the Catholic view regarding the sun (giving life and light) and the Son who is True Live and Light.
If you will allow I can email you with much more including how the direction of east plays a role in the Old and New Testament.
God Bless

My reply:
The pagan sun “god” do manifest it self in Roman Catholic symbols and rituals. Please read the link:
Ok, I went through the link and do not agree with your writings. It is not true and that is not what Catholism is about.
Isaiah 19:18-20
“In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt which speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts. One of these will be called the City of the sun. In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border. It will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; when they cry to the Lord because of oppressors he will send them a saviour, and will defend and deliver them.”
So lets try to explain:
The City of the Sun in Egypt was Heliopolis. Helios is the Greek word for sun.
Heliopolis was the center of worship for the Egyptian sun god Ra, until about 2100 B.C.
If you look at the map you will find Alexandria is located about 150 kilometers from Heliopolis.
From Bible study you will know that in Alexandria, Christianity rose to great heights by Saint Mark spreading the Gospel.
The Church in Alexandria had several Catholic Bishops, such as Athanasius and Cyril, both of whom are Doctors of the Church.
It is CLEAR the Son, Jesus Christ of Christianity had displaced the pagan sun god, Ra.
Catholic do not believe what you claim to be truth.
Here is a example:
If you are wearing a wedding band just know that it had pagan origins.
If your wife walked into Church with flowers, it had pagan origins.
Those pagan symbols does not have the same meaning today for Christians world wide.
God Bless

I understand that you do not want to debate on any topic, just distribute Papal deception and lies. Whatever error that is exposed on News That Matters, the spirit within you can not accept it. No repentance. You and tens of millions of Roman Catholcis are in need of deliverence.
I can not longer accept this. Please leave this site. May Jesus the Messiah one day force you to renounce the wickedness and evils of the Roman Catholic religion.
Do not get sruck with this copy-cat religion, where people are lead astray, and perish in the name of the Roman Catholic verison of “Christ”. Amen.

The New Covenant (in blood of Yeshua)
Jer 31
31 “Look, the days are coming” — this is the LORD’s declaration — “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 32 This one will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt — a covenant they broke even though I had married them” — the LORD’s declaration. 33 “Instead, this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days” — the LORD’s declaration. “I will put My teaching within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people. 34 No longer will one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they will all know Me, from the least to the greatest of them” — this is the LORD’s declaration. “For I will forgive their wrongdoing and never again remember their sin.”
Eze 11
19 And I will give them one heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone from their bodies and give them a heart of flesh, 20 so they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God. 21 But as for those whose hearts pursue their desire for detestable things and practices, I will bring their actions down on their own heads.” This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.
(HCSB)
please……notice….NEW HEART, NEW SPIRIT (John 3:3-10, 1:12, Tit 3:3-7)……FOLLOW MY STATUTES, KEEP AND PRACTISE THEM — whan you got it? maybe you are righteuss
Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.” (JOH 18:37b)
As an ex-catholic I have family that still are. We have spoke the truth to them that the God of the bible is the only true God. No one can see the truth unless the Holy Spirit reveals it through the word. The Lord’s word is infallible. As He, Jesus spoke to a Pharisee priest, Nicodemus. He told him the truth and his heart was supernaturally transformed. “Verily, verily, I say to you unless one is BORN AGAIN he cannot see the kingdom of heaven.” John 3:3 All of the Gospel of John is about the priests and their man-made rituals. Also in the other Gospels, everywhere. The Lord called them blind guides many times.
I went through all the catechism up to 8th grade. Now the priest’s tell us that the bible is true from chapter 3 on starting with Abraham. The rest is all a story tale, we are just not sure and then there might be some evolution in there. Ask your priest yourself. Then you need to forget everything you were taught, creation, in the beginning, Adam and Eve because we are not sure what their names are, Noah, the Ark, and the Flood. My mom asked her priest and he confirmed this. My brother was taught it by his priest. Still they follow blindly. I wonder what they will do when all religions are in the same church worshiping who they believe to be same God. Buddha, Islam, etc. It is already accepted by the pope. We are not your enemies. We love you that’s why we want you to truly see. By the Lord’s will only will we see the truth or not. He loves us and does not want any to perish. God Bless you! Let’s not argue please this is what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me and you do have your spirit revealing what you believe.
Ivar, if this is too long you can take it off your site. God Bless you in your sharing of all the truth from the One and Only True God. I would have put this on armorrcc’s site but I could not find it..

My reply:
You are a blesisng on this site. No issues. We need to dicern people. Many Roman Catholcis will never repent. Because the Holy Spirit seems not willing at all, to lead them into repentance. Others are willing to repent, when they are conctronted by truth.
Every Roman Catholic who are not willing to see the writings on the wall, is lost for eternity. No matter who many altarboys who are raped by their priests and bishops. No matter how many times the Pope kiss the Koran, or blesses atheists. No matter how many skeletons that falls out of the cup boards, they will never admit that their religion is a hoax and a path towards the gates of Hell.
Do not entertain such people. Do not let them distribute their lies on Evangelical sites. But keep on rebuking them, and keep on praying for them. The days of miracles are not yet over.
Actually, that story is not true. It’s from a satirical Irish website called Waterford Whispers (similar to The Onion), and several prophecy teachers had egg on their face when the took it as a legitimate news story.
This is to lily u can deny all u want that popes doesn’t think their God the father or “Jesus Christ in the flesh” but THEY themselves disagree with u. “The pope and God are the same, so he has all power in heaven and earth” pope pius V, quoted in Barclay, chapter XXVll p.218,” Cities petrus Bertanous” and how about “The pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth…by divine right the pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals, over each and every pastor and his flock.he is the true vicar the head of the entire church,the father and teacher of all christians,he is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas,the author of and the judge of councils; the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world,the supreme judge of heaven and earth,the judge of all,being judged by no one, God himself on earth” Quoted in the new york catechism.still not convinced? ” the pope is not only the represenative of Jesus Christ, he is Jesus Christ himself, hidden under the veil of flesh” catholic national, july 1985) I’ve always said that catholicism is satan’s GREATEST inventions! These wicked popes claims to be the Most High but have not healed no one, have not raised the dead etc etc they have NO authority over evil spirits because satan cannot cast out himself.come out of this demonic religion
Lily I see right through YOU, you are NO christian, but a catholic.we christians cannot learn ANYTHING from catholics but how to practice idolatry and witchcraft.how to pray to dead people and think we can command God’s angels in heaven who was created for HIS purpose and pleasure to do this and that! No, there’s NOTHING that a born again christian can learn from you.this is why I have come out of the wicked church system because protestant churches and their pastors are returning to the whore of babylon and abominations of the earth the pagan roman catholic church.
What a lot of hate issuing out of the mouths of so called Christians!
Catholics that believe that there are millions of Jesus living in wafers around the world are deceived. There is only one Christ and He sits on the right hand of the Father.
Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Mar 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Jesus is sitting next to the Father making intercession for us. He doesn’t come down here to live in a piece of wheat. There are only two advents of Christ. Catholics are deceived like Mormons and Muslims.
Jesus is coming soon. The truth will not perish. Bible is the truth. Jesus says, And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
(Luke 16:17)
Dear Ivar,,,It breaks my heart that Catholic , Mormons and muslims others take our words of love as hate. we are ambassadors for christ and the bible says MY WORD IS TRUTH.but the pope thinks he can change and twist G-ds word tho G-d says they are accursed if they do. just saying they think the pope is the vicar of christ as G-d and has the authority of scripture etc , is such blasphemy it is frightening, puting just enough to sway people to false lies. If we don’t tell them , their blood will be on our hands. we are to be humble and tell them..and if they don’t listen after telling them three times. the bible says from such turn away. I was reading Rev 17 and 18..it clearing says the whole of mystery babylon is ROME..the seven hills that was, then was not and now is…Rome that in G-ds day on earth was called snakes and snipers and white washed tombs. and then their is mecca the throne of Satan and the black stone with which shows the womens private parts etc. John the Rev concludes what all the bible says and makes it clear. so none of us will have an excuse.. John caught up into heaven said, I saw the ONE sitting on the Throne and of the Word of G-d and of the lamb who was the only one to open the scrolls..John 8:24 says, if you do not believe that Yeshua Jesus is G-d you will die in your sins..that preachers will get double punishment. The first part of Revelation of the seven churches. ONLY ONE is going to heaven..and as far as the churches of today that line up with catholic have doomed themseves as G-d warned of apostasy …The holy spirit leads into al ttuth, so none of us will have an excuse..G-d set up His Church in Acts two four. and said HIS SABBATH would NEVER change, no shadow of turning but the Catholic changed the Hollowed Sabbath to the Sunday sun god , to acturally change G-d’s ten commands and their idol worship another. . it is true that many churches have entered into apostasy and it is breaking my heart..That to turn away from truth and then falling into the ditch on the other side and becoming twice the sons of hell. and many do not even find the narrow road the only way to heaven and our precious L-rd G-d.. WE know HE is coming very soon. all prophecy is in our face. HE said, when Israel becomes a nation, that we are the generation standing that will see HIM..and the Good Samaritan on the rugged road..the priest came along and crossed the road and left the dying man there. then the tax collecter too did the same. and then Yeshua on the donkey, picked the man up and took him to the Inn. and paid the Inn Keeper for two days.. and said, I will Come back in two days to pay you whatever I owe you..a day is like a thousand years to G-d. time is up, time to find the truth..no one will see it reading all these other churches bibles. period as we are not to change one word, dot or title ,,if we do we are cursed. WE see Matthew 24 and Luke 21 come into play in weather and disease etc. and G-d said it would happen more often and stay in the word so we don’t become confused. even malacay the pope said, the last pope would be antichrist.. and that they are all headed to rome to be destroyed. pray without ceasing and stay in the word and suport the Jews and Israel , gen 12:1 and Romans nine, ten and eleven who gave us the prophets and Salvation came thru the Jews..when born again, we are grafted into Israel, not the church. so how does it get preached the lie of replaceing Israel. G-d bless everyone who reads the word themselves. G-d said: It is better to believe G-d than man..don’t listen to those who make the WORD of none effect Shalom
Dear mama bear
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Thanks for blessing me. The Church has not replaced Israel. The true Church has enlarged Israel. We are the new Israel of God, all who believe in Yeshua. New, grafted and standing together with the natrual branches. The apostle Paul explains in Romans 10 and 11 that those natural branched who have been cut of, can be impoded again. It will happen during the second coming of the Messiah.
Wao? U hv open ma eyes now, i can see.
The pope seems to do everything wrong. Even the bread is wrong. Unleavened bread was the old covenant, 0 tolerance of sin. New covenant symbolism was loaves of bread.
l think the pope is a Holy spiritual guaided man. What he says about denying the second coming of Jesus on earth is right. (1). Lets not forget that there is different between humans and God, jesus was a human being who was incarneted by the Spirit of God to do his work on earth. And he saved his Master well up to the day his human life perished in the hands of evil doers. After three days he rose again in a form of a Holy Ghost and discended to Heaven forever. Humans die but God did not die because he is a Spirit. Remember the time of Moses, what did he encounter oneday when he was shepard of the sheeps. He saw a fire burning the tree but the leaves of the tree was still green. And the voice of God spoke through that fire ana told him to remove his sandals because the ground he is standing on is holy. It was before Jesus was born so that give me guts to say there is deferent between God and Jesus. And for sure God can still showup on earth as he promised through Jesus who was his mouth. But the time of Jesus on earth is over he is now enjoying his destiny with God and his Angels in Heaven . l think God is going to come on earth in another form or in defferent identity. In revelation there is a part whicg says l see God himself making his home on earth with his humans, he is going to be their God and they are going to be his childrens. That possible means we must expect him to come one day. To buld his Home with his humans so that he is going to be their God and we are going to be his Children. And we must expect him in a human form like what he did in Jesus’s time so that we will understand his. And follow his ways not human ways.

My reply:
We can all “think” and have our opinion. But what do the Word of God say abot the second comming of Jesus?
Hebrews 9:28
so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
(end of scripture).
Christians shall await the physical return of the Messiah. I believe so, because the Bible says so. All propehecies will be fulfilled. Amen.
Well said, Ivar. Since a majority of the prophecies of the Old Testament have been fulfilled (and quite literally at that) we can rest on the Bible’s prophecies of the physical return of our Redeemer to rule and reign over the earth. Benedict committed horrible blasphemy.
I was confused by the picture–I didn’t realize that it was the current pope who said that Jesus returns in the Eucharist (which is pure and utter idolatry). In any case, all popes commit blasphemy all the time–this is nothing new–just more outrageous than usual.
Dear job3627
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Yes, we live in extraordinary times. Presently we see three Popes. Including the Black Pope, the Jesuit General. Two Jesuits as infallible god’s, ruling in the Vatican. And a German Pope, who was forced to step a side, but was permitted to continue to use his title as Pope.
If the Catholic Church returned to teaching the original teachings of our beloved Nazarene Essene Rabbi and Lord Yeshua, they would not be able to make such ludicrously wild statements such as Pope Benedict here being His representative on Earth! By his own statement, Pope Benedict has proved to the world how FAR REMOVED he is from the TRUE TEACHINGS on the subject of Yeshua/Jesus’s DIVINE WORD on the subject. The sooner they stop manipulating the TRUE TEACHINGS of Yeshua to empty peoples pockets into their collection plate the better. They are creating huge karma for themselves by teaching lies and misguiding the masses of people that ignorantly placed their trust in them over the past 1690 years and they can’t hide their crimes against humanity from GOD. HE sees ALL!
The total ignorance of scripture and hatred and vehemence is evident on this website. Too bad you have to hate others to feel secure your selves. What part of “This is My Body, this is MY Blood” do you not understand? “What part of “Do this in remembrance of Me” is foreign to you? Your criticism of Catholicism shows complete ignorance of scripture and the Catholic Faith. The Pope as the successor to St. Peter represents Christ on earth, not is Christ. He does not claim perfection, none of them do. They are generally very humble and prayerful men who pray for you rather than spew hatred. If you talk about false prophets, it is you who do not know scripture and spew lies about Catholicism. Think about your own words. You condemn yourselves! I will pray for you, that your eyes are opened and your hatred melts away. Remember, you will be judged the way you judge others.

My reply:
You might live in ignorance of the meaning “The vicar of Christ”. It is the replacement of ‘Christ” on Earth. The Pope is an upsurper of Biblical athority. His claim is false. Because the Holy Spirit is the only “Vicar of Christ” on the face of the Earth.
The Pope has set aside Biblical authority. By his claim the Pope elevates him self above the Holy Spirit. In this way, the Pope blaspheme against the Holy Spirit. That is a mortal sin that will never be forgiven.
The Pope also equalize him self with God. Jesus the Messiah only called His Father God in Heaven for “Holy Father”. The Pope demands to be adressed in the same way. This amounts to wickedness, blasphemy and lawlessness, that leads to judgment and eternal condemnation.
Anyone who submit to the authority of the Pope, will share in his condemnation. The Bible explains that their souls will burn in the everlasting fire of Hell.
Please repent. I loveed you enough to tell you the truth, and warn you.
Matt 6:5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
The Bible: So Misunderstood It’s a Sin! 😦

Hi! CrissCross have YOU read it??? THE LAST THREE POINTS in the article are good. The bible IS HOWEVER NONCONTRADICTORY: trust the Holy Spirit–JESUS SAYS the Holy Spirit will guide into all truth AND BRING TO MIND HIS WORDS and is how to read the scriptures WRITTEN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT through his prophets throughout centuries SO DO NOT RELY ON HEARSAY: READ IT ALL. Do not get excited by a little bit–without having the whole picture: IT IS THE LENGTH OF A NOVEL.<+3
I perused the article you linked, CrissCross. It is cleverly constructed but it contains many falsehoods. One of Satan’s favorite devices is to weave truth and lies together so as to more easily dupe humankind. If you like, I will point out some of the most glaring errors.
In any case, how could we expect an obvious unbeliever to understand the Bible better than Spirit-guided Christians? Are you a Bible-believing Christian, CrissCross?
Wrong photo . . . Not all pastors of catholic believers in Rome are the same . . . right??? The current pastor denies personal relation with Jesus required and calls it dangerous . . . which disagrees with the Bible–and all pastors elected to a church are not necessarily the greatest but do not change the believers in the flock–who really are believers. REMINDER.<+3–consider the following info at mdmlastprophet com 😀
To submit to a pastor is not leaving the Leading of the Holy Spirit — when done properly. God is the final authority. One is not to submit to an authority IN OPPOSITION to the Holy Spirit but IN AGREEMENT with the Holy Spirit — and in fact when one’s leader whether in family A LA SAPPHIRA AND ANANIAS or in ekklesia-gathering-church even in the official gathering of the father as in Jerusalem when temple and faith were led by a false high priest WHO STILL WAS PROPHESYING BY VIRTUE OF HIS CHAIR that “one man die for the people” despite his being false BECAUSE OF THE AUTHORITY GIVEN TO HIM IN HIS SEAT then one “must obey GOD rather than man”; correct; this does not discount that the high priest was assigned; what happened was that PEOPLE WERE TO FOLLOW THE TRUTH WHICH CAME IN JESUS CHRIST; THE TEMPLE ITSELF were excluded THOUGH THE BUILDING REMAINED; THE WORLD WAS INSIDE; THE BELIEVERS WERE “OUTSIDE”; such is the situation of the Roman Catholic church when believers STILL ATTENDING THE TEMPLE find themselves BEREFT OF A TEMPLE–at that time that it is completely worldly AND LOSES ALL TRUTH; much you say denies the truth that is there; when finally THE GOSPEL is no longer preached AND THE INSIDE IS IDENTICAL WITH THE WORLD then the true believers will find themselves outside OR ELSE!! TO STAY BEHIND would be to by lack of decision DEFAULT to wrong… The true believers in the church have prophesied; they declare that Rome will be the seat of the final prophet-false and finally “fall”; the “religion” will be changed; the one-world religion will be promulgated and the true believers ostracized and worse: at this point the structure only will remain bereft of all truth and be a part of Babylon from which believers are to “come out”; but back to Holy Spirit Leading–one supports one’s pastor EXCEPT as ONE IS LED OPPOSITELY BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN CONCERT WITH THE SCRIPTURES and thereby IS the church REGARDLESS OF THE WOLVES; UNTIL THE SPIRIT LEADS ONE OUT…NO GOING AGAINST THAT, EH??? THANKS!!
The Bible also says that satan cannot expell himself and yet a lot of Priests are exorcist it also says that the antichrist is anyone who denies Jesus and Catholics would never deny Jesus our whole Mass is dedicated to Jesus we love and apriciate our fellow Christians who have fought and died in the name of Christ so we honor them and we ask the Saints to pray for us to God because we believe they are in Heaven with God we also believe that the Virgin Mary is in Heaven with Jesus because she was his mother and still is God is not a user he did not just use Mary as a vessile in witch to come into this world and then just say see ya later he loves his Mother God says honor your Mother and Father and Jesus always did we ask Mary to speak to her son on our behalf because we know we need all the help that we can get we are sinners!!! We all are we need to be careful what we say about Jesus’s Mother because if someone spoke badly about your mom you would get mad and some Christian offend Jesus’s Mother when they are trying to debate with the Catholic Church if you have a question about the Catholic faith ask!!!don’t JUDGE!!!! no one is in any position to judge anyone we all know what the Bible says about judging others people are confused and they don’t understand the Catholic faith but that doesn’t mean you should say mean and dishonest and hateful things about Catholics your not going to get us to change our Religion and what exactly are you trying to accomplish here anyway by saying these things and who are you fighting with? We are Christians too that’s silly Christians against Christians?
Dear katie.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.

My reply:
The Bible warns us about false Christ’s.
How will we be able to discern between the true and the false, without judging between the real Christ and a copycat?
And when we know the truth, are we not called to tell others?
What you say, it to hell with the Bible, and the warnings of Jesus the Messiah. You do not want to listen to Him, neitehr do you want to obey Him. You want to obey the Pope, and defend all his false doctrines and dogmas.
Have you ever been to a Catholic Mass?do you really know who we are or are you only going by what you have heard i found Christ through the Catholic Faith and I have experienced the Holy Spirit my heart tells me that I am right were I’m supposed to be please don’t fight against your brother Christians we all should be united in Christ what did Jesus say to Paul when he found him crucifying Christian that is exactly what you are doing to us Catholics we are Christians and if you think you are doing it to save Christians your not your just confusing them and telling them things that are not true and that’s not what being a Christian is about Christ is love in the end we will all be judged according so think about how you are leading his sheep because God says that the leaders will have it even tougher than the rest of us and by creating this blog in a since you have made yourself a leader so if I were you i would be very carfull about what I say
Pretty sure Paul was actually crucifying Christians, literally. As a Christian Paul never held back the truth…
We Protestants believe in the real presence of Christ in the breaking of the bread, but not in the doctrine of the Transubstantiation.
I have attended Mass many times, Katie. Indeed I was an altar boy before the Second Vatican Council, so I remember the Latin Tridentine Mass. It was very beautiful, I will give you that.
I am currently reading a biography of the late Archbishop Martin Lefebvre. And I have read Catholic theologians such as Yves Congar and Karl Rahner.
But Rome was not just denounced by the likes of John Calvin. (Read Calvin’s wonderful New Testament Commentaries – particularly his commentary on the Gospel of John, published by Eerdmans.)
Rome was denounced by all the Puritans such as John Flavel, John Owen, Richard Sibbes, Richard Baxter. Read them, they are all published by the Banner of Truth.
Rome was denounced by John Wesley one of the greatest street preachers of the 18th Century. Rome was denounced by Charles Spurgeon the 19th Century London preacher. And by Bishop J.C. Ryle of the Church of England.
American Presbyterians visited Rome a few years ago and were received by Benedict. (Watch it on YouTube.) They all bowed to Benedict but Benedict bowed to nobody. If you are friends with Rome you have to be friends on Rome’s terms. You have to pay tribute to the Pope as though he were Caesar.
The Popes for centuries were murderous thugs. Read your own Catholic history.
Christ built his church on Peter’s confession of faith, but Christ could not possibly have set in motion the evil gang of antichrists who sat in the throne in the Vatican.
Your church grieved the Holy Spirit for centuries and He departed from it.
St Peter’s Basilica in Rome was built on the sale of plenary indulgences – people who thought they could buy a place in heaven, instead of being washed clean of their sins in Christ’s precious blood.
The Catholic theologian Hans Kung wrote a book called ‘Is It Too Late To Save The Catholic Church?’
He looks into why Rome hid the true extent of the sexual abuse of children by priests.
Kung also asked what Jesus would think if he stood in St Peter’s Square when the Pope and his bishops in their splendid robes were saying Mass.
What would Jesus think, Katie?
The Catholic Church of my youth talked a lot about Jesus. But it wanted to control him.
Listen to Arthur Pink’s The Nature of Apostasy on YouTube to hear the real Gospel, Katie.
Read Iain H Murray’s biography of Pink published by the Banner of Truth and Iain’s wonderful little book Evangelical Holiness.
Listen to the online preaching of Martyn Lloyd-Jones.
.
Jack,
You have knowledge but no understanding. You believe in the bread, but not transubstantiation?
Bread is just bread without the miracle? No use in responding to anything else when you lack the very basic and fundamental understanding of christ teachings.
Your thinking is twisted and lacks coherence, usually this is a sign of demonic infection from living with a God that is irrational and un-knowable. I could help you, but i think you rather live with your spiritual pride which is the most difficult state to overcome along the spiritual path.
Kevin
Reblogged this on pastorhutto.
To Kevin my brother in the Lord:
I welcome any help, spiritual or theological, from any Christian.
When I attend Mass as I occasionally do with a Catholic friend, I am moved by the sense of reverence the faithful have towards the Eucharist. My friend regards the Eucharist as the centre of her worship, though her husband belongs to the Church of Scotland.
As a former Roman Catholic and an admirer in my day of John Henry Newman, I can well understand how Catholics in their last hours receive the Host along with Last Rites. It means everything to you.
But I have over the course of years become persuaded by the theology of the Reformation.
Transubstantiation was condemned in the strongest terms by John Calvin and John Knox. Their line of thought is Scriptural and lucid. They called the Mass blasphemous. Calvin in his writings also destroyed the legitimacy of the Papacy although the Vatican hasn’t yet woken up to the fact.
The Puritans such as John Owen, John Flavel and Richard Sibbes also condemned the Mass as blasphemy against Jesus Christ and therefore wholly unscriptural.
Jesus cannot be literally present in the Eucharist because his glorified body is in heaven.
Go online and read the blogs of the Protestant Truth Society.
Read a wonderfully balanced booklet called Why Protestant Truth Still Matters by Garry Williams, a young Puritan scholar who is currently director of the John Owen Centre in London. It is published by the Protestant Truth Society.
Mr Williams quotes the Italian theologian De Chirico whose roots are very Reformed.
De Chirico says the Catholic Church today is ‘programmatically searching outside its circle for whatever can enrich and expand it’.
I give you one example.
Both Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II received the neo-Hindu antichrist Sri Chinmoy Ghose.
Paul VI said to Ghose ‘We will meet in heaven’ and John Paul said to Ghose ‘I bless your divine work.’
Chinmoy in his evil cult exalted himself as a son of God and denied the exclusive divinity of Jesus.
But your church today whores after any figure who can ‘enrich it’ as De Chirico says.
The Roman Church looks set to preside over a one world religion with Pope Frankie as the media’s favourite ‘spiritual leader’.
We Protestants proclaim that the Reformation is not over until Rome repents of her apostasy and preaches the Gospel of grace.
Listen to John MacArthur on YouTube on Rome’s many errors.
Sola Scriptura. Sola fide. Sola gratia. Solus Christus. Soli Deo Gloria.
Those are the five great Solas of the glorious Reformation.
Demonic? It is the Bible. The faith of the early church.
No wonder MARTIN LUTHER said that ‘THE POPE IS THE ANTICHRIST AND THE CHIEF APOSTLE OF SATAN’
All so called Christianity existing in world today is of the devil (which means deceiver who is the so called white man who is Esau(red neck race) as mention in the bible.
You all claim to be “born-again”. Yes, I believe that! Born-again to hate for that is what comes through when I read your blog. You are a disgrace to what Christ stands for and should all hang your head in shame. You have no right to call yourselves Christian. I hope and pray that all those who are searching for truth do not accidentally tap on your site. May Our Dear Saviour hear my prayer.
It is a sad day when the apostasy church think they replaced Israel and the Jews . that lie has been around for years. going to church all my life, I never once heard anyone say go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature to the JEW first, so then came replacement teaching. as for me, reading HIS WORD which is the only TRUTH, I was grafted into Israel, and am partakers of my G-d and HIS CHURCH. many are realizing the false teaching to day. Ivar has it right, and his teaching is true love, not hate, remember Yeshua said we would be hated as HE WAS. Hate for Israel did not start with Hitler, it started inGenesis when satan did not want Yeshua to be born. Israel is still here and will alway be here and of HIS KINGDOM there will be NO END…Blasphemy is an unforgiveabale sin..run from it, the pope is of his father the devil..we are to pray to NO but G-d thru Yeshua..period..the only ONE who can forgive
Dear mama bear
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
If God has replaced the Jews with someone else, why did He regather the Jewish people back home to Zion? Replacement theology simply goes against common sense. You do not even have to be born again to understand this.
You can argu that few people in Israel are saved, so why did God grant them a ticket back home?
If your answer is “pure grace based on an eternal ancient promise to their forefathers”, you have got it!…
As someone who grew up as a Catholic, I can verify that the Catholic Church has always taught that Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead.
The Holy Father is right.
Yes, people should stop “waiting” on a future return of Christ. His presence arrived almost two thousand years ago when he came in judgment upon the city of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. These were the days of vengeance upon Jerusalem for persecuting and murdering the Son of God, the apostles and saints. Matt. 23:34-37; Luke 21:20-22, 32.
So funny to read all the comments from the brainwashed people in here…
all of you defending your own mental program that they infused to you.
Read Richard Bennett’s book ‘Catholicism – East of Eden’ published by the Banner of Truth. A former Catholic priest of many years and now an evangelical Christian, he describes the modernist teaching within Catholic seminaries. Catholic priests don’t know what they believe regarding the Second Coming of Christ. Nor does Benedict. Seminarians are given a diet of Rudolf Butmann and other modernist anti-Christian writings. They ought to be reading John Murray’s great work, ‘Redemption Achieved and Applied’. Years ago a liberal leaning Jesuit priest, given to quoting the dire ideas of Carl Jung, told me Karl Barth leaned too heavily on Scripture. I gave this priest a book by Francis Schaeffer and all he said was that ‘these people have a frightening view of the fate of no Christians’. Martin Lloyd-Jones in his book ‘God the Father, God the Son’ reminds us that the Second Coming will be a real and physical coming and not merely spiritual. It will be a coming down of heaven to earth, indeed the whole universe will be altered. The Book of Revelation tells us that there will be men and women who will beg to be covered by the hills and mountains, rather than face the judgment of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (J HAGGERTY)
Erratum. I should have written Rudolf Bultmann. He gave an interview to a New Yorker writer and said he could not conceive or imagine the possibility of the Lord’s return at the end of history. He added that most of his postgraduate students in theology felt the same way. On this basis he dismissed the return of Christ as belonging to another age, another thought-world, pure mythology. John Dominic Crossan, another sceptical New Testament opinion-former, said the miracle of our Lord’s appearance on the road to Emmaus never happened ‘and yet it happens all the time’. I have heard this kind of whimsical nonsense preached in more than one liberal Protestant church. Oh for the preaching of Arthur W Pink who ploughed a lonely furrow in his lifetime as did Alan Stibbs and Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones. These men preached good solid reformed theology in a sea of liberalism. One of the great things they did was to revive interest in the Puritans, men like John Owen, Richard Baxter, Richard Sibbes, John Flavel etc. Thank God that reformed theology is now on the ascendancy again in the United States and even here in the United Kingdom. Your preachers such as John MacArthur and John Piper are being read by young evangelicals. You can hear Pink’s sermons on YouTube – The Nature of Apostasy is well worth hearing. Read the biography of AW Pink by Iain H Murray. The collected essays of Alan Stibbs is also essential reading. Thanks.
Dear Jack Haggerty.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
The Roman Catholic Church will claim that they do not reject the second comming of Jesus. The RCC do teach that Jesus has returned, and is perfected in the Eucharist. The problem with such a docrinal view on the second comming of Jesus, is that the wafer used in the mass, did not return and land on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.
Zechariah 14:4
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.
When a Catholic eat the Eucharist, he is supposed to have accepted Jesus. And become like a god, walking in the likeness of the Messiah. All who can see, will discover that nothing has happened to the person who eat the wafer. He will walk out of the religious shrine, as unsaved an worldly as ever before. Next sunday, he will return and “eat Jesus” all over again.
Thank you for your helpful words. As a child and adult I faithfully attended Mass. This was at the very heart of Catholic worship. We were told (indeed indoctrinated) that the early church believed in the ‘real presence’ of Christ in the eucharist, and that all the pre-Reformation saints such as Thomas Aquinus and Bernard of Clairvaux believed in it too. The doctrine of transubstantiation was only formulated after the Council of Trent, we were taught, in response to the ‘errors’ of Calvin and Zwingli. (Alas, at this stage in my life I never read Calvin’s Institutes or his great Commentaries on the Old and New Testament, which I now read daily, nor did I know about the many truthful things he had to say about the monstrous claims of the Papacy.) When I asked priests about the Second Coming I received only vague answers; this must have been on my mind as a child because we were always hearing about the very real possibility of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. The scales fell slowly from my eyes years later, after I discovered the books of Francis Schaeffer. Karl Barth was an important discovery for me, though I now reject his neo-orthodoxy. A book by Os Guinness. ‘The Dust of Death’, also made a huge impression on me, and I have a copy still from 1973. It began to dawn on me that the reformers did not think of themselves as innovators; they were trying to save the church from its many sins. Luther’s image of the church in Babylonian captivity impressed me deeply. Reading the histories of the Popes made me see that these proud and sinful men were exalting themselves over Christ; they could not possibly be following in the footsteps of Saint Peter; indeed the first bishops of Rome had no supremacy over the other bishops of the early church. Now I come to a tragic fact. I only heard truly Biblical preaching when I attended worship at the Free Church of Scotland, the Free Presbyterian Church and various evangelical churches. To readers of this blog I can recommend a book by Robert M Zins, ‘On the Edge of Apostasy – the Evangelical Romance with Rome’ as well as a brilliant booklet, ‘Why Protestant Truth Still Matters’ by Gary Williams, a Puritan scholar, published by the Protestant Truth Society, http://www.protestanttruth.com. The sermon on the Second Coming of Christ by Doctor Martyn Lloyd Jones can be found in ‘The Church and the Last Things’. Alan Stibbs is the author of very reformed essays titled ‘Such a Great Salvation’. Iain H Murray is the author of ‘Evangelical Holiness’ which I can warmly recommend and biographies of Arthur Pink, Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley and Lloyd-Jones. Mr Murray writes for the Banner of Truth monthly magazine, which is also available online. Readers will also enjoy ‘A Faith To Live By’ from the pen of Donald MacLeod, a systematic theologian of high repute. My little country of Scotland produced a galaxy of reformed preachers and theologians, men like Robert Murray McCheyne, but today Scotland has fallen into s state of apostasy and sinfulness. New Age, spiritualism, channelling and the occult are spreading like cancer. We need another Reformation.
Dear JACK HAGGERTY
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
I am honored that I could be of some help.
I have been to Scotland twice. Once, I drove with a friend to the island of Iona. There I discovered that the legacy of Columkille had been falsified by the Roman Catholic Church.
This Irish apostle (521-597 A.D) had been turned into “Saint Columba”. Columnkille was not Roman Catholic. He celebrathed the Sabbath, followed the Jewish callender, and observed the original timing of Passover/Easter. The Irishman also baptised adults who had come to faith. He was a true follower of the Messiah.
You know more about Columkille and the Celtic church than I do, Ivarfjeld. Would you believe that I have never been to Iona? Or Jerusalem? I am aware every day of the guidance of the Holy Spirit in my life. I hear him speaking through street preachers, humble Christians, ministers, books by reformed theologians and such a witness as yours. Three years ago I spoke to a young woman who had been on drugs and had a history of suicide attempts. After her conversion she told me she gave her television set away. This surprised all her friends because she had been addicted to TV soaps before being born again in Jesus Christ. Like the Apostle Paul she counted all the things of her old life as so much rubbish. For me the great truth of the Reformation, the doctrine of Justification, can be seen in a statue of the reformer William Farel. See it on the internet. It stands outside the church of Neuchatel in France. Farel stands with the Holy Bible raised above his head – the pages are turned towards the people. Only the reformed Biblical faith, sola Scriptura, can bring Europe out of paganism. Robert M Zims says that erosion of sound doctrine comes quickly, almost suddenly. ‘This is perhaps due to the reality of opposing forces that wage war in the trenches of theology and power,’ he writes. Liberalism, humanism, anti-supernaturalism, Gnosticism, Roman sacramentalism, easy believism, Pelagianism, the new atheism, are all attacking the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are engaged in the fight of faith as Lloyd-Jones used to say. At a conference in Melbourne on world religions, just before 2000, evangelical Christians were strongly rebuked as ‘fundamentalists’ while Madame Blavatsky, the pioneer of occult theosophy, was applauded as the mother of ecumenicism. Religious pluralism is in. The ‘true truth’ of Francis Schaeffer and Farel is out. The Bible is no longer welcome in the public forum. A new book I can recommend is ‘Christ Among Other Gods – A Defence of Christ in an Age of Tolerance’ (Moody Publishers) by Erwin W Lutzer,a senior pastor in Chicago for over 30 years.
May I just add that Rudolf Bultmann was interviewed by New Yorker writer Ved Mehta. The interview appeared in Mr Mehta’s 1968 book, The New Theologians published by Penguin. Donald Macleod deals with Bultmann’s heresy in his concise work, The Trinity published by Christian Focus. John Murray’s classic book Redemption Accomplished and Applied has been republished by Eerdmans with a new introduction by Carl Trueman. Professor Murray stressed the biblical view that Christ’s physical return, contrary to Pope Benedict’s remarks, will mean a new heaven and earth. The Life of John Murray by Iain H Murray (no relation) was republished by the Banner of Truth in 2007. John Murray lost the sight of his right eye on the Western Front during the Great War of 1914-18. It did not prevent him from excelling as a theologian and teacher. His friend and colleague at Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia, Gresham Machen, sent John a telegram as he was dying. Gresham’s telegram said… I AM SO THANKFUL FOR ACTIVE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST. NO HOPE WITHOUT IT. Gresham Machen’s book The Virgin Birth of Christ is well worth reading.
Oh Boy, What is the Eucharist? It is a witness to Christ? Correct? How was it originally created? Christ laid hands on the bread and the wine? Right? What did he leave? A magnetic imprint of his DNA? Right? The pope is using a gnostic term, the cat is both alive and dead. What is the Pope actually saying that you are missing, because
you are blind as a bat and don’t have the mind of Christ. The inner senses, of sight, hearing and smell. He is saying that he noticed that the Eucharist is much more powerful. He is saying that he is back in the Eucharist. How did that happen? Do you think he is saying that he is already back? In he were to announce to you would be screaming at him looking for the proof? Why did he go to the UN in his own name? Perhaps because the big guy is back? Did you ever consider that? Did you ever consider the reason that Benedict resigned was for the same reason? Is pope Francis living in the Vatican? No? Do you think that Pope Francis is Rein-forcing the belief that Christ has returned for those that can see? Have you even bothered to look up and see that the Sun is now white, not yellow? Do you know anything about color theory? Do you miss the blood moon that arrived like a thief in the night in NYC,on August 24th, 2016, over where the World trade center which is owned by who? And the Federal Reserve that is the what? The Money changers temple?
I have just read your blog, Kevin. I pray you will find a Bible believing church where you can pray in the Holy Spirit and hear the Word of God.
There was an American preacher called Francis Schaeffer. He was no admirer of the Roman Catholic Church, but he always welcomed Catholics in his Christian community of L’Abri in France.
Schaeffer said there were four great questions for the Christian. 1) Why is there sin? 2) Why is there death? 3) Who is Jesus Christ? 4) Why did Jesus Christ come into the world?
Schaeffer saw that only the true Biblical faith can answer those questions. The Reformers were not innovators; they had no intention of starting a new church; they wanted to save Rome from its apostasy and its sins.
Go into Google and type in PHOTOGRAPH OF WILLIAM FAREL, NEUCHATEL.
You will see a statue of the French reformer and he is holding the holy Bible above his head with the pages facing the people to whom he is preaching.
For me that statue sums up the Reformation. Farel was calling the people back to Christ and away from the antichrist in Rome.
Rome today appears to have changed. After the Second Vatican Council Rome changed its tune and started to refer to we Protestants as ‘separated brethren’. But Rome still maintains that one has to be in communion with the See of Rome (i.e. the Pope and his bishops) in order to be saved. Rome says that if a Protestant or a Hindu is saved then it is because of the existence of the Church of Rome.
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones said that Rome wears a thousand different faces for the world. Listen to Lloyd-Jones preaching online; he was instrumental in the recovery of Christian doctrine in the 20th Century along with the likes of Arthur W Pink. You can listen to Pink preach on YouTube – listen to the Way of Salvation and the Nature of Apostasy.
At my Catholic school I was taught that there were wicked Popes but that in spite of everything the RC Church still taught the truth.
Yet the Pius V who was the Pope of the Catholic Counter Reformation regularly visited the torture chamber in Rome where Bible believing Christians were put to death.
William Tyndale who translated the Bible into English was burned alive.
A Catholic bishop who read Tyndale’s New Testament said, ‘Either this is not the New Testament or we are teaching something very different.’
He was right. Rome teaches a different gospel/
Don’t blame the Pope talking nonsense like this, we must blame ourselves using the internet, social media. What a nice and comfort media for Satan to used it freely, even misusing the Pope and Roman Catholic leaders. How many people are using these media’s and how many are true believers ! Satan is smiling al the way, but hate me now for telling you this.Amen
Good Morning Mario,
You say: Don’t blame the Pope talking nonsense like this, we must blame ourselves using the internet, social media.
The Bible says: Just as you and I will be judged, so will the pope.
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
The pope is false in his teaching, and in taking the Word of God to twist it into what he wants it to be. This is why prayer to JESUS CHRIST ONLY, Our King who returns, need to be done very frequently as well as reading his Word, so we know who walks in Jesus, and we know who doesn’t.
The is the false prophet and have cheated many souls.
Jesus said he wont know .when the second coming .on earth .only his father knows …but till then we should lived with peace and follow what Jesus taught us…don”t blame the pope he was just following what Jesus said
Dear Eric
Shalom, and love in Jesus.

My comment:
The Pope claim that the second comming of Jesus, is his physical presence in the Eucharist. There will be no other return of the Lord. These kind of doctrines, contradict the Bible. The Pope is a liar and a deciever of the flock.
Well after 2000 years its obvious that the second coming either is not going to happen or already did happen, and since some passages in the gospels clearly say “there are some standing here who will not see death until they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds” that would mean looking for it as yet future is absurd since Jesus promised it would happen in the lifetime of some who were standing there; but its obviously not the Catholic eucharist; rather it is the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD which Josephus describes as having been attended by a visible sign of armies of angels running along the clouds; and this corresponds to the “end of the world” of that time, i.e. the end of the Jewish world; and it fits with Matt 24’s dilemma “how much of this is about the destruction of Jerusalem, and how much is about the end of the world?”; the answer is both events are the same thing, i.e. the destruction of Jerusalem is the end of THEIR world. It already happened; instead of looking for Jesus to return and some stupid rapture or a millennial reign and other such nonsense like prophecies about Israel that were already fulfilled by the return from the Babylonian captivity to happen AGAIN in modern times, accept that all biblical prophecy has already taken place; Jesus saves souls forever more, with the world ending in the literal physical sense, because Ecclesiastes 1:4 says “Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.” The earth remains forever, and there is never a physical reign of Christ on it; never a Jew World Order; Zechariah 14’s false prophecy never happens.
good day
