The Pope visited St. Rose. The skull and bones are dressed up like a Catholic nun.
This is the skull of St. Rose, adored and venerated by the Roman Catholic Church.
I have seen a lot of bones and skulls adored and venerated by the Roman Catholic Church. But I never thought I would see these skeletons dressed up like Catholic Nuns. Like St. Rose.
Even an iron ring has been put around her head, to symbolize her lost glory.
The Pope is in need of deliverance. What is the Pontiff doing in front of this skull and mummified body in Viterbo in central Italy?
Pope Benedict XVI next to Viterbo bishop Mons. Lorenzo Chiarinelli looks at the mummified body of St. Rose inside the St. Rose’s shrine during his visit at Viterbo, central Italy, Sunday, Sept. 6, 2009.
What is the Pope doing here?
What kind of spirits does the Pope submit to, when he pray in front of a skeleton of a lady that has been “preserved”, and dressed up like a nun?
The most bizarre pictures you might ever see are those of St. Cathrine. She is dressed up like a nun, completely, even with the black head cover.
St. Catherine or whoever this skeleton might be was never laid to rest, but put for public display by the Vatican.
Lets take a closed look at this Italian lady Catherine, whose skull and bones have been made “holy”.
A closer look at Catherine, exposes that she is holding a crucifix.We must pray that the skulls of these Polish nuns visiting the Vatican will not be dressed like the one of St. Catherine,The head of Catherine is sometimes moved, and kept separately for display. The priests have also changed her dress.The undressed skull of Catherine here to be adored with a crown of flowers.
It might be difficult to believe that this is the truth. Please visit this Catholic web-site a look around for your self.
The so-called incorruptible hand of St. Catherine
Not all the Roman Catholic ladies have been as “lucky” as St. Catherine or St. Rose, their skeletons dressed up to be adored. The tragic end of St. Agnes might be a warning to us all. Her skull was separated from her bones, and put for display for adoration of veneration inside a golden box.
The skull of Saint Agnes of Rome, Saint Agnes in Agony Church, Piazza Navona, Rome, Italy; swiped with permission from the flickr account of Brother Lawrence Lew, OP
The Basilica of St. Agnes in Rome:
From outside you will not get the real story. Inside you will find the adorable skull of St. Agnes of Rome.
The skull can be adored and venerated, from outside this glass protected site.
Rome has its own way of making people holy after they should have departed.
You do not have to be a Roman Catholic priest, to be puzzled by the very idea of this skull being of a female. And you might also struggle to see anything holy about this gruesome sight inside a claimed to be a “Church”.
Shalom, and thanks for blessing me with your comment.
As I have told, the Popes holds a sticky wicket. They are called “the Holy Father” . The Pope must change that. But made infallible by the Roman Catholic Church, He is trapped in the loop. Its like the chicken and the egg. Who came first?
Personally speaking I really don’t see Rome or the Popes ever being willing to change what ‘they’ feel is not wrong. Can someone please explain to me how you can read the Bible, what the Lord said we’re NOT to do with or to statues, etc. but feel that it’s alright to go against Jesus and do it anyway???
This is beyond sick and twisted, yet those in this warped system don’t seem to think there’s anything wrong here, but as the saying goes, “what would Jesus do”?
Y’all, look, I’m a Catholic, but I’m not going to get into how wrong most of this information is right now. But the Catholic church has multiple saint Catherines. There’s Catherine Laboure, Catherine of Siena, Catherine of Bologna, Catherine of Alexandria, and many more. That’s not one body that they’re taking apart and putting on display in different places; they’re multiple different skeletons. The Saint Catherine sitting up is Saint Catherine of Bologna, the head of Saint Catherine on display is Saint Catherine of Siena. Please check your sources, because they’re wrong. God bless you all, have a nice day!
The Roman Catholic Church is a global cult, and their priests are a priesthood of Baal worshipers.
There is a good example in the second book of Kings, about what needs to be done with bone worshipers.
2 Kings 23:13-16
The king also desecrated the high places that were east of Jerusalem on the south of the Hill of Corruption—the ones Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the vile god of Moab, and for Molech the detestable god of the people of Ammon. Josiah smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles and covered the sites with human bones.
Even the altar at Bethel, the high place made by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin—even that altar and high place he demolished. He burned the high place and ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole also. Then Josiah looked around, and when he saw the tombs that were there on the hillside, he had the bones removed from them and burned on the altar to defile it, in accordance with the word of the LORD proclaimed by the man of God who foretold these things.
(end of scriptures)
“Sacred poles of wood, stones and bones”. The Catholic priests pray and give offerings to Molech.
you’re all psychos and crazy people anyway. doesn’t matter if you play dressup with bones or not. If you believe in a magical sky daddy then you’re a freakin’ fruitcake.
This is disrespectful to the dead, first of all. Digging up bodies is ungodly. Dressing up skeletons to be adored is idolatry. This is a good exposition. Thank you Ivar. This kind of thing needs to be seen. It looks like a Halloween horror movie, and it is what the RCC calls “holy”.
I am sure 8 out of 10 Catholics will agree with you. The problem is that the large majority do not know what the Pope and his cardinals are doing behind closed doors. Today, with electronic camera’s everywhere, photo’s taken by Catholic priests and leaders will end up on facebook’s. Because such publishers are the 2 out of 10 Catholics who feel this is “holy”.
I have shown pictures like these to quite a few Roman Catholics. After they have seen evidence of such gruesome activities done by the claimed to be “Holy Father”, they have had sleepless nights. But: Better a nightmare a day, than to have to spend eternity in the flames of Hell. That will be the “fruits” of supporting such a corrupt and wicked religious movement.
Please keep on showing family and friends the truth about the Vatican. It is a matter of life or death.
what are they doing behind closed doors? please inform me because this is my religion and i have a right to know. i would be most appreciative if you would give me the information you have been given. i will only testify if i have all of my information positively proven.
I think this is neat. Being able to actually see and study people of that time you can tell how the skeleton had evolved even from a couple decades ago. It’s small but still interesting. A long time ago, the dead were celebrated (by everyone not just Catholics) by having their body paraded around town and the town held a collective mounting period where people could view them. (Thank goodness for being able to preserve body’s amirite?!) it’s still common to this day, even as more and more people turn to cremation. Interesting right?
Please don’t turn your American cultural prejudices into a universal maxim of decency. There is nothing ungodly or disrespectful about digging up bodies. This is a traditional Mediterranean custom, and was practiced by Jesus’ own people: when space is limited, bodies are traditionally uncovered after a number or years, the bones are collected, washed, and placed in an ossuary, so that the limited grave sites can be reused.
Can’t speak to the Roman Catholics, but the true Orthodox understanding about relics is part and parcel of belief in the Incarnation of God, and in salvation by faith and grace, in Jesus Christ.
James, “This is a traditional Mediterranean custom, and was practiced by Jesus’ own people”?? Can you provide ‘Biblical proof’ of this please (chapter and verse if necessary)?
I ask because the “majority” of this crap and nonsense is “man-made” traditional mess done to put a different face on death, mainly to ‘take away from what Christ did by His resurrection’.
Amazing how mankind puts a spin on what God/Jesus call unholy, in order to make it right in ‘their’ own eyes. This reeks of satan and man just follows as if it’s alright, rather than questioning what God/Jesus have to say about it “first”. Very sad and horrific folks.
The seven headed hydra of Rome IS the catholic church. Idol worship is strictly forbidden by God. The Vatican is a center of incredible evil.
Praying to the dead and maintaining corpses for idol worship is just insane. The atheists must love this stuff! I can hear them, “Look at these crazy people! Not only do the believe they didn’t crawl out of the sea to become a grand evolutionary development but they pray to dead bodies. They’re probably zombie lovers, as well.”
“They’re probably zombie lovers, as well.”
Yep! I agree, DeanH – good point.
and who knows how many “Real Zombies” they have in the vatican through contact with intelligent beings from out space otherwise what is their interest in the UFO’s. Now we know how spooky it is in their closet.
If you guys think this is a joke then why is the vatican trying to make contact with these ‘aliens or UFO’s? Perhaps they have already been in contact since the building of the “Tower of Babel”
Take a look at at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2JF4w_QjZ4 – also see the other related videos.
The devil is calling on the demons? O, sure they’ll come even without an invitation. Read the book of Revelation whole of Chapter 9: praticularly 9:11 (weird number) however, 9:11 is Abbadan, or Apollyn, the ‘pit of hell’ that will be opened by God to let loose the ‘fallen angels’, these same ones were bound in chains in the deep underground of the earth at the time of the flood. The UFO’s or aliens are the offsprings (Rephaim) of the ‘fallen angels'(Nephillim) whose spirits went up into the universe and occupied the planets, and galaxies. This is a very true and important subject and no one seems to preach or teach on this. It’s high time someone started educating the world on this issue. Because if people do not walk in the footsteps of Yeshua(Jesus) then these demons are going to make hell out of their lives. I’m not saying this of my own understanding – God is saying so, in HIS WORD. We have to remember that ‘what happened in the beginning the same will happen in the end’. The vatican is the seed of satan (serpent seedline) therefore, God is calling out to His people, “Come out of her my people” The mother of all harlots…. http://www.comeoutofhermypeople.com/
Have any of you noticed at all how the skull of St Agnes of Rome actually looks compared to the other skulls? If you look closely her eyes look odd – I mean the eye sockets one of them has a weird “dip” in it and the nose well check that out as well!The nose area of the skull – well compare that to the other nose areas of the other skulls above and you will see a vast difference.
I believe this St Agnes person’s skull is not human!
In regards to St. Agnes, and the skull that is presented as ‘holy” in a Church in Rome:
You have done a very interesting observation. Since I am not a bone and skull specialist, I am not able to verify.
But with so many mad and demonized Roman Catholic priests around, it is not unlikely that they have collected some of their multiple skulls from the Zoo.
I have just come across your website by accident. I was intrigued by your title of a skeleton dressed up as a nun. I presume the lady was a nun so fail to understand your surprise. I have visited the church in which St Jean Vianney is displayed and he is dressed as a Priest – because he was a Priest. And in Westminster Cathedral lies the body of St John Southworth also dressed as a Priest – because he was an ordained Priest.
I can’t quite understand why politics seem to enter your blog which seems to be full of errors regarding the Holy Catholic Church. If people wish to know the truth then they would be ill advised to read your posts. Sorry but I won’t be visiting again.
Good question, what does holy mean? For instance; It says remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. But what does it mean to keep something holy?
The worshiping decayed dead bodies is disgusting btw and not biblical at all. Definitely something from horror movies or out of Ancient Egypt. But no surprise scripturally since the bible describes the Christian section of Jerusalem , where christ died, to be in the end times as Sodom and Egypt.
Your Comment: I have visited the church in which St Jean Vianney is displayed and he is dressed as a Priest – because he was a Priest.
My Comment:You claim that Ivar’s blog is full of errors when it comes to the catholic church, and in the same breath have visted these sites which cleary worship bones and such in their pagan practices.
Do you not know that it is Christ who created all things, and the worldly images you serve are nothing? It is Christ who shed his blood for us, and deserves all of the Glory.
The bible is clear on these horrific types and any other types of vainful worship.
Roman 1:22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator–who is forever praised. Amen.
Jeremiah 1:16 says: And I will declare my judgments against them, for all their evil in forsaking me. They have made offerings to other gods and worshiped the works of their own hands.
Verily, verily, I say to you: Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man you shall not have life within you. For His flesh is real food and His blood is real drink.
You people are incredibly uninformed. You don’t even get the name of the church right. St. Agnes “Agoniste” has nothing to do with “agony.” It is called that because the Piazza Navona was an area where athletes used to compete – agonistes – and the church means “St. Agnes, by where the Athletes used to compete.” As to the rest, it’s clearly a waste of time to explain to you the processes of canonization, or the use of relics, but Catholics don’t “pray to” them. They venerate them and remember, but only as a focus to prayer to Christ. You should all grow up, or at least try to become informed.
The name of the Church, is the quote from the site where this picture of the skull can be found. It is only given as a reference, and your comment is besides the point.
Focus on the horrible skull, set up in this claimed to be a Church.
In regards to Catholic veneration of skull and bones, I suggest you rather go out and admire a nice sunset on the beach.
Piazza Navonna’s original name was Circus Agonalis. It was descriptive of the horrific events that happened there- “athletes” competing until death. Why else change the name if they were not afraid it was giving away the truth? We are told that agones means games. But we know that agonal/agony is the struggle that precedes death.
Dolly, the alarm is sounding for you and other catholics, it’s time to wake up and see the truth. Who are you worshiping, the angels, saints, the so called our lady (Mary) instead of Our King Yeshua(Jesus)?
Not much time is left to decide on eternity, make up your mind today who you shall serve; the God of Israel or the dumb gods of catholicism. The King of Heaven and Earth is already on His way, when He touches down on earth, He is not gonna rapture you to heaven but rather throw you and the catholic church into the lake of fire of no return. Do your study and may you find the truth.
Shalom, and thanks for helping people on this site. And in specially Dolly, loved by Jesus our Master.
Roman Catholics can not the see the truth, if they are not delivered from demonic oppression. Our job is to tell them the truth. After 1.500 year of systematic false teachings, the Vatican is doomed for death and destruction. Hundreds of Millions of Roman Catholics will follow their Pope and priests, into the eternal fire.
But not you, Dolly. Please repent, and get rid of this demonic yoke your parents have placed up on you from your childhood.
I would be very joyful to see many Catholics leave the evil religion and return to the true God(YHVH) therefore, I am more straight forward with my comments hoping that Catholics will do their homework but not defend or debate. May the light of Jesus shine on them I pray.
In your last sentence you wrote: [Please repent, and get rid of this demonic yoke your parents have placed up on you from your childhood]
Well, I think that parents should not be blamed for being in this religion because they themselves are ignorant about it as it has been passed down through the ancestors who were forced into it. I won’t repeat the history but you know what Rome did to all nations, no one was spared though Jews and Christians suffered the most. It is sad because most Catholics do not know their true roots because these roots were uprooted with such horror that is unimaginable. I want the Lord Jesus to come back soon for I am truly sick of this sin-sick world.
Chanukah Blessings to you and all who visit this blog.
i love Jesus with all of my heart. in fact, i worship him! i worship Jesus Christ, i adore Mary (my mother), and i honor the saints. i explain better in examples:
A young girl loses her grandmother who was very close to her. years later< she finds herself in a part of life where one needs loving advice. having lost her grandmother, the only person she would ever feel comfortable talking with about this situation, she prays to her grandmother. praying is just a way of talking to those who are not tangibly with us. yes, we pray to Jesus and mary and the saints all the same, but we only worship Jesus. some people would say," but the saints are not your relatives. how can you know that they did the amazing things you have eard of if you weren't there to see it."
my answer is this:
don't we all feel proud when we learn a distant relative did something great. we may not have proof that we are actually related to that person, and we may have been born many hundreds of years too late to wittness that amazing thing, but we trust that our sources tell the truth. we trust and feel proud even though no wittnesses are still alive to corect us on details.
besides these things, aren't we all related to eachother in the end? shouldn't we pray to our brothers and sisters to tell them thanks for creating these lively holy stories which we will pass down in legend throughout our generations?
many people who see these miracles (not only catholics) kneel and pray infont of these holy men and women. if someone would have told these saints what would happen to their bodies after death, they most likely would have responded,"God's will be done". to them, whatever happens to their body after death won't matter when their soul is in heaven.
what is happening is the exact opposite of grave robbery. their remains are not revealed with horrible intentions< but instead the best kind of intentions. the pope and priests that do this venerating buisness do it to show the people of the world what Christ can do and how committing one's self wholly to the services of God can effect your whole being; body and soul. instead of being robbed of all of the precious valuables that were buried with these people, christians adorn the bodies with jewels and flowers of every type and color. this is not even close to what people would give to Jesus, so don't go and get any ideas about us treating the saints as if they were our savior. we love our Lord more than all the saints combined. people like to omagine what catholics pray about, but the truth is you can't judge people on what they pray about.no one can simply walk into a church and hear the thoughts of everyone praying and hear what they are praying for/about. therefor don't make guesses and estimates. the only thing you can be sure of is that we pray about people who need it; we pray for the saints to recommend our prayers and needs to God; and we pray TO Jesus the everlasting Lord and Savior. We say we pray to the saints sometimes, but who doesn't slip up on words occasionally? the saints are our brothers and sisters ready to hear our prayers and give us advice through their Lord's administration and law.
i love you all, my brothers and sisters in Christ!
we admire the saints,
we honor mary,
we worship Jesus.
this is all you have to remember about catholics. it should also be the only thing you have to say about us, but i will let God hande that lesson.
Dear Dashti.
Shalom.

You worship the saints
You have falsified the truth about Mary
You promote a false Jesus.

How do you know Mary hears you or saints? These are attributes belonging to God.
Dashti.
How do you know Mary hears you or saints? These are attributes belonging to God alone. Where in scripture did the apostles pray to dead people?
In Him.
Sue
i want to be understanding and still be able to voice my oppinion without being rude or insulting. i really do want to understand everyone’s point of veiw, so i guess i’ll ask questions.
1)what is your personal definition of worship, explain it in your own words.
2)what do you call the people that have made it to heaven.
3)what is your oppinion on mary, the mother of God. what do YOU call her?
4)do you celebrate lent?
these are a few simple questions that come straight from my curiosity. i would be most thankful if you would answer them for me, because i would like to bring both sides of the faith together in an understanding of one another. please feel absolutely free to ask any questions that are bugging you about the catholic religion. i will try to answer them to the best of my abilities.
to ivar:
im sorry to be so blunt, but i dont know what kind of catholics you have been talking to. i personally (personally as in i only know positively what i think and have no clue about other people) dont really worship anyone but Jesus. i love the saints as my brothers and sisters, as i love you, i love mary as my mother and friend, and i love Jesus as my savior. i love him as someone who has died for me (how ironic) or as…. well, there is really no way to describe love for Jesus. im sure you feel this way about Christ, too.
to sue:
really, to be truthful, i dont have any proof (and a dream i once had including God. ask me if you want to hear the story). then again, there is the realization that the only proof i personally have of my faith is a book that could have been written by anyone. does that mean im going to completely dismiss the thought of there really being a loving God out there that wants me to believe in him and embrace his generocity, no way. i live off of faith and grace (plus a little food and water now and then)(that food and water thing was a joke by the way). most people do. there is some magnificent proof out there, but i know not enough about it to share. your second post mentioning the apostles intrigued me. surely you must know that no one could enter to heaven before Jesus died. after Jesus did die, the apostles still didnt have any saints to pray to. the apostles died before anyone else had the time to committ their lives to Christ, and die. by the way, almost all the apostles are saints, too. just though you might find that interesting.
i love you all!!!!
~dashti~
‘surely you must know that no one could enter to heaven before Jesus died. after Jesus did die” – What about Moses, Elijah and Enoch?.
Start up the Jackhammers and start destroying the walk of fame in hollywood, Ca…why? There are prints of feet and hands of mostly dead people. If someone famous dies, we should hide their pictures as well…because they are dead! OMG Dude, these people that are now part of the buildings are former church goers of that church that requested to become one body with the church of christ here on earth while their soul is with him in heaven. It a reminder that we are but a blooming flower. Have you never dried a flower from prom and kept it? Same applies here, a special person, holy person is remembered and celebrated for hearing the word of God and keeping it. Thanks for the beautiful pictures…as a catholic it was very helpful and inspiring. I am proud to belong to the only true church founded by Peter the apostles and still heaed by his office today by Pope Benedict 16th. We love our Pope!
these people that are now part of the buildings are former church goers of that church that requested to become one body with the church of christ here on earth while their soul is with him in heaven.
My reply:
That is an amazing observation.
So all the Catholics who are not a part of the decoration inside their Church, is not a part of the body of Christ on Earth?
Whatever skull who has not been placed inside the wall of this claimed to be “Holy Church”, failed to be redeemed by the papists?
There was someone who wrote in this blog, that many of these skulls are not from humans, but collected from among dead animals. I guess, like dead dogs. I would not at all be surprised what these perverted Catholic priests can do.
My best take of you message, is that the Catholic Church really is the very House of Demons, explained to us in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 18:2
With a mighty voice he shouted: “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.
***OMG Dude, these people that are now part of the buildings are former church goers of that church that requested to become one body with the church of christ here on earth while their soul is with him in heaven***
Hi Bill,
Are you phychic, a prophet or what to know that the above mentioned people are in heaven? And … just why are they in heaven, because they were good actors and actresses? Lol!!
And … will you go to heaven for following the pope or will you go to heaven for following the Jewish MESSIAH YESHUA(Jesus Christ)?
Thanks for ministering to Bill, who need to reflect on the article, and his own comment. We who believe in Jesus the Messiah needs to take the Jewish Apostle Paul seriously.
Ephesians 5:11
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
Thanks for your comment and the scripture quote you’re right and… Yes, most take Paul writings very seriously, no objection to that, but I go straight to the teachings of Yeshua Messiah for He is the WORD Himself.
First of all, I appreciate this debate because you write with a spirit of kindness and love which is of the utmost importance.
You said:
surely you must know that no one could enter to heaven before Jesus died. after Jesus did die, the apostles still didnt have any saints to pray to.
My comment:
Steven was the first to die. The apostles could have prayed to him being that all of them were alive except Steven.
The truth is “praying to saints” did not exist. In Judaism is would be pure idolatry. The apostles were Jewish and we should follow their example, not the tradition of men.
dear sue,
i thank you very much for saying that. i feel as if the only way to intervene in this unnecessary dispute between religions is with utmost kindness.
as for what has been said, i think i have a working hypothosis. there are many different religions that spread across the world, right? everyone is trying to convert each other and not many people are getting converted. i think if we ask more questions and give more kinly said explainations we can all come to a mild agreement. the Lord said he would come back. he did not say what he would look like or what he would be wearing. really, we dont know if he’ll be a male or female. all we really know is that he will come the same way he left. we should treat everyone in the kindest manner possible and not be so quick to accuse because there is a piece of the Lord in us all. of course we were made in the likeness of the Lord himself, but that in no way means that wew are prone to making mistakes. i think we all know that first-hand. that doesnt mean that we cant try to be as Christ-like as we possibly can. the saints are in my religion as a role model for all those who have trouble understanding to be
Christ-like. the saints are people who we can read about and relate to certain parts of hardship in their lives. i would also like to point out that most of the saints are martyrs. they gave up their lives for God and are remembered specially because of that. i found this website that might be interesting to you, but i didnt have time to read all of it : http://www.scripturemenu.com/BibleVerseList.html?topicid=47
i am very graetfull for all of the people that will sit down and spare the time to read all of this. i know at first glance it seems dreadfully long, but i struggle to find the right ways to say things and still keep it short. again, i thank you!!!
your sister through God,
~dashti~
i believe Jesus will probably reveal all the answers to our questions when he returns, so why fight about it now? he wants us to act like family and we (at least some of us) fight like cats and dogs. peace would be so peaceful to have right now…..lol.
love you, ~dashti~
yes, i know. but You are holy, i am holy, ivar is holy. Jesus is divinely holy, the saints were exceptionally holy. can you see where i’m coming from in this?
The only one who can be called Holy is Our Savior Jesus Christ. I am a sinner, Ivar is a sinner, Sue is a sinner, all saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, but we are not holy, nor were these so called “saints” holy.
We are holy, we who are saved by the blood of Jesus.
We have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
We are made perfect through Jesus.
Jesus makes us holy through his own blood.
Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.
Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.
We are to purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
In view of God’s mercy, we are to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is our spiritual act of worship.
Do you see all those decayed bodies of the Catholic Saints? Notice that they are decayed. Catholics claim that their Saint’s bodies don’t decay, they believe that because they have not understood the scriptures.
Jesus is the One whose body did not see decay.
Acts 13:35 So it is stated elsewhere: “‘You will not let your Holy One see decay.’
Psalm 16:10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
Acts 2:27 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
Catholics don’t claim that the bodies of Saints don’t decay; however, the bodies of some declared saints remain uncorrupt. I have a hard time believing that any of these pictures are authentic because I saw the uncorrupt head of Saint Catherine of Sienna in 2009 and her skin looked as if she had only passed away a few days earlier (note: she died in the thirteenth century).
I don’t understand how your quoted Scripture verses are relevant to your point. Catholics don’t quote these to somehow justify a Scriptural basis for this natural phenomenon. They just don’t.
If there was only one skull and one corpse inside one Roman Catholic Church, it would be wrong to claim that the RCC is the very skull and bones society. But when skulls, bones and corpses are exposed and venerated in their thousands, we do not need to question if a photo or two are authentic.
Please take a look at the skull and bone files on this blog.
In regards to scriptures, Jesus spoke about people who are full of dead man bones. I feel this verse is relevant for “Churches” who are filled up with this kind of dead stuff.
Dear Proud to be Catholic,
I can verify that the above images of St. Catherine of Bologna are true as I pilgrimaged to her twice and saw her body dressed like this and sitting upright with my own eyes. What many fail to realize is that the clothing of these dead bones have to be laundered and the dead person does not do laundry. So these nuns who care for these dead bones havecalot of work to do to take down the skeleton with it’s black-decayed skin, take off the clothes, wash & press them, then redress the bones and finally reposition the body to an upright position!
Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:60 NIV).

Well I think the church is the only good thing that exisit on earth the logic of good is the illogic of evil sometimes we should ask ourselves which is better making good or bad? and who is our ennemy ? Is it another man who was born the way ? No guess it is something else … Something evil that want us to be bad but for what ? To stay away from good ? So to choose the evil way that will take us to the abyss . But good will lead us to good some call it heaven but I call it jesus . everyone who is with Jesus is in the good way and who is not with Jesus is in the bad way which will lead to the loss of god in the end and in both ways it is a personal choice which we make by free will . So decide as we will live only for some 100 years what we will choose ? Help others or destroy them ??? Thanks for ur time …
Do some research, genius. The one in a Franciscan habit seated in the chair is St. Catherine of Bologna. The disembodied head in the glass case, wearing a Dominican veil, is St. Catherine of Siena. Neither relic has been moved for centuries. The skill on the table is neither. I have no idea who it is. Maybe a saint… but it looks more like a Vodoun altar to me.
Ok, first: eewwwwww. Second: “Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth.” Disgusting.
Nothing like venerating ROTTED BODIES. The RCC is a wacked out, insane cult with an equally insane leader (pope). But folks, if you think this is bizarre, google The Cadaver Synod.
What a horrible institution trying to claim it’s a “religion”. Sickening! Adoration of body parts, rotted faces…cavemen were smarter than the catholics of today!
This is so sad, sickening and worrisome.
If this is true, then we the members of this faith are lost really. It’s no wonder in Hebrews we are told “…people are perishing because of lack of knowledge.”
I’m just as speechless!!!
Don’t fret about relics Mburu: the veneration of relics is a true, ancient, Christian, Biblical practice. The power of relics is even recorded in the Old Testament:
2 Kings 13:21 (KJV)
And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men ; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
The veneration of relics is part of truly believing in the Incarnation of God.
As far as Roman Catholicism goes, they have indeed distorted the Gospel by embracing false doctrines about God (the Filioque), His Mother (the Immaculate Conception), the Church (Papal Infallibility), the Sacraments (unleavened bread), man (inherited juridical guilt), salvation (Purgatory, Indulgences), etc. But on the topic of relics they have preserved the true original teaching.
Don’t listen to these Protestants’ ravings. They are blind guides of the blind.
Check out Orthodoxy if you want the true light of Christ!
I find it quiet strange to put relics as part of the worship in the churches. I think, this is generally a pagan form of worship, where a great person’s skeletons would be kept as a memory of the great work done.
I’m planning a trip to Europe this spring. I also plan to visit the mummified remains of this dead broad, break the glass, reach in, grab her wishbone, and make a wish right there on the spot by doing the turkey bone routine.
Look out Powerball, here I come!!
Hey, may not help but couldn’t hurt
Praise Father Yahweh for establishing His House in these Last Days
For those out there that do not know of this wondeful news please come by our web site and see for yourself what great things Father Yahweh and His beloved Son Yahshua Messiah are doing in your life time.
God worship in any form is a sin according to the Hebrew prophets.
The TRUE HEBREW MESSIAH said we were fools if we do not believe all that the prophets have spoken. Luke 24:25
Sure hope there are no fools reading this.
Agree 101% – ‘god’ or ‘gawd’ worship is Baal worship or satan worship for he goes about with many names causing confusing in the minds of people.
We must worship only YAHWEH… Blessed be His Holy Name!!
Jes
Praise Father Yahweh for your understanding.
May I ask you a question?
Since worship means service do you serve Father Yahweh by keeping His Laws?
If so I’m sure you know the little rejected Law found in Deut. 12:5.
Should you like more information on where we are in Father Yahweh’s PLAN for mankind may I invite you by our web site?
The good news is that none of this argument really matters. There is no god and churches are all lies. Worry about living your life the best you can and being the best person you can, rather than fretting over how someone else is living their life. Isn’t that much easier?
yes this is like a horror movie.. yes first off its disrispectufull to dig up these bodies and put on display.. hmmm.. glad I’m non religious and religion is going down the toilet….LOL see for what is is people!!… so absolutely disillusional and nuts….
I find it ridiculous and pathetic when people shed a light on the horrors of one religion…they also want to spread there OWN in the making…lol cant anyone see there ALL full of crap possibly?.. or atleast when something happens like this .. thre are all sorts of religious people who comment and they think this is the perfect opportunity to spread their bullcrap…
I do extensive research on the Torah in the the Hebraic perspective and one day I was blessed to find your website – you bet, I loved it!! .. I am already a subscriber but with my proper name. I might write to you sometime if I have a question or two. . Hey! I’m a soldier4Yeshua and I am all geared to fight to raise His Holy Name every time someone tries to put Him down.. In other words I choose to remain HOT for Him and Him alone rather than be vomited out … Revelation 3.16. “…because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.”
O, No, I couldn’t even fathom this.
Tonight is the night I can push all my work aside and breathe a sigh of relief to finally bury myself in the study of Torah for the next whole week … O, YHWH is sooooo good … I bless Him with my heart and soul.
Be Blessed Brother, Shabbat Shalom and Chag Samayeach!!
Great to hear you are seeking truth.
I love what Yahshua said in Luke 24:25.
The Torah is what the world needs and this evil beastly religious system hates.
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who is seeking Father Yahweh.
We will have our seder tonight would be great if you were here.
May Yahweh bless your understanding.
Leading the pack is Buffalo Bill “Yisrael” Hawkins from his compound in Abilene, Texas. He has written his own bible (The book of Yahweh), teaches that he is one of the two witnesses, and adheres to the sacred name philosophy. Rick Ross is an authority on this group and has been watching them for years. His site features shocking scoop on this group and its leader. Sadly, his membership is reported to be in the tens of thousands.
———- http://www.watchman.org/profile/yahpro.htm
Doctrine
Yisrayl Hawkins, the founder of the House of Yahweh Abilene, Texas, has built his movement on doctrinal themes which are not new to American religion. His theology is an eclectic blend of Sabbatarian, Sacred Name and Anglo-Israel teachings. His internal control over group members is classic authoritarian technique.
Critical thinking or dissent is discouraged and controlled by queating rebellion against Hawkins as being rebellion against Yahweh. He represents himself as an end-time prophet who is spoken of in the Bible. He claims his work is the only true work on earth; that all other churches are part of Satan’s last days’ deception, and those seeking God or Yahweh and salvation can only find that salvation through The House of Yahweh. If a member leaves the group, they are leaving Yahweh and his salvation.
THE TWO WITNESSES Yisrayl Hawkins boldly claims that he and his late brother are prophesied in the Bible to be the two Witnesses whose ministry is set forth in Revelation Chapter 11:
“Yahweh Himself has given this inspired Testimony to Isayah 44:5, showing exactly ‘HOW’ His Prophesied TWO WITNESSES would obtain NAMES which were not given to them at birth!…The prophecy has come to pass! One of Yahweh’s Two Witnesses ‘LEGALLY GAVE HIMSELF’ the name of ‘Yisrayl’…this Prophesied ‘WAY’ in which Yahweh’s Two Witnesses would attain their Prophesied Name, is the most outstanding ‘SIGN’ Yahweh gives that these TWO MEN are HIS TWO WITNESSES!” (The Prophetic Word, 7 June 1991, p. 6).
AUTHORITY OF CHRIST Hawkins boasts that his organization was ordained of God. He claims that his credentials and authority are equal with those of Christ:
“Yahshua Messiah KNEW that He was sent, because He FULFILLED all the Scriptures concerning Himself. And The True Work of Yahweh: Established House of Yahweh – The Place of Yahweh has chosen to Establish His Name in These Last Days – has this SAME AUTHORITY, with the SAME CREDENTIAL.”
“Yes The House of Yahweh, Established in Abilene, Texas, is SPOKEN OF and WRITTEN ABOUT by the Prophets of Old! This Established House of Yahweh in These Last Days is doing the work that Yahshua Messiah and His Disciples – who were ‘SENT’ – did; the very same work! It is a Scriptural fact that unless Yahweh gives AUTHORITY to someone, by having SPOKEN ABOUT THEM THROUGH HIS HOLY SCRIPTURES, then that person is NOT SENT!” (What Yahweh’s Feasts Mean to You, pp.82-83).
“Yes, Yahweh now has ONLY ONE WORK under His ONE REMAINING WITNESS Yisrayl – His Prophesied Spokesman who will continue to perform all The Will of Yahweh…Just as Yahshua Messiah came as a ‘covenant to the people’ in These Last Days (Isayah 49:8)” (The Prophetic Word, 7 June 1991, p. 36).
THE ONLY MESSAGE OF SALVATION Hawkins joins other self-proclaimed Apostles and Prophets -i.e., Herbert Armstrong, Jim Jones and David Koresh – who were the sole proprietors of God’s only true salvation. Hawkins initiation ritual which bestows both salvation and admittance into the group, is water baptism. He teaches:
“BAPTISM – The third step one must then take is to be Baptized by the CHOSEN MINISTERS of YAHWEH, so you may receive The Holy Spirit:…Please notice that you can NOT obtain The Holy Spirit of YAHWEH from the preachers of this world!” (Why Aren’t Your Prayers Answered Today?, p. 20).
“The One Body of Messiah IS The House of Yahweh!…The Holy Scriptires say this…We are partakers with Yahshua – IF we are part of the Body of Messiah of the House of Yahweh. In Genesis 28:11-17, the Patriarch Yaaqob saw a vision of The House of Yahweh as the way to Yahweh’s Kingdom. The House of Yahweh IS THE GAT OF HEAVEN!”
“…IF we ‘separate’ form the One Body of Messiah: The House of Yahweh, then we succumb to Satan, then at that very moment we become worshipers of Satan…of if one LEAVES The Body – The only Prophesied, Established Work that Yahweh Himself has chosen, then that one does NOT partake, or is NO LONGER a partaker, with the rest of The body of Messiah – The House of Yahweh” (What Yahweh’s Feasts Mean to You, pp. 78, 87).
EARLY PROPHECY Hawkins has claimed that his authority and credentials are founded on his fulfillment of Bible prophecy: “Yahweh then says, Through Prophecy – ‘Let these TWO WITNESSES FORETELL the things that are coming, and let them PROCLAIM that I am ONE!” (The Prophetic Word, 7 June 1991, p. 4).
“The RAIN WILL SOON BE CUT OFF AGAIN, as it was in the days of Yliyah. This time, it will not rainfor one thousand two hundred sixty days – but this soon-coming Time Period will BEGIN the LAST Seven Years of Satan’s rule upon the earth. This Seven Year Period is known as The Great Tribulation – and for the FIRST 1260 Days of this Period, there will be NO RAIN” (Ibid., p. 15).
“In the middle of this Seven Years – in the Midst of This Week, or 3 1/2 Years after this week begins, Satan Is Cast TO THE EARTH, The Last Witness is KILLED by Satan, The seed of The Two Witnesses – The Sealed remnant are delivered to Mount Zion in Yerusalem. When Satan is Cast Out of heaven, his first act is to PERSECUTE The Woman which Brings Forth The Man! Through this PERSECUTION – Satan stops the Prophesying of THE ONE WITNESS who is still alive at this time – BY KILLING HIM! It will be at this time that ‘his testimony’ will be perfectly accomplished (Revelation 11:7). However, in spite of this same persecution, ‘THIS WOMAN’ is taken to The Place of Safety!” (Ibid., p. 48).
LATER PROPHECY By late 1994 Hawkins had altered his theology and was teaching that The House of Yahweh was already in “the midst” of Tribulation: He explained: “In order to understand what time period Yahweh is referring to when He says, ‘the midst,’ we will refer to Yahshua’s Message of the End Time – the Time Period known as: The Seven Years of Tribulation…Yahshua Messiah spoke of the FIRST PART of the Seven Year Period…(Matthew 24:7). Since the time of my brother Yaaqob’s death, March 22, 1991, wars have been raging not only in Israyl, but throughout the eastern world.”…”These things: WARS, FAMINES, PESTILENCES, and EARTHQUAKES are Prophesied to take place through the FIRST HALF of the Great Tribulation. But, the end is not yet! When the first three and one half years are complete, the LAST HALF of the Great Tribulation begins. Since the Feast of Tabernacles, September 22, 1994, my brother Yaaqob, the first witness to be killed by the Beastly System, will have been dead THREE AND ONE HALF YEARS” (The Prophetic Word, November 1994, pp. 14, 16).
“The hatred taking place at this time, just as we are APPROACHING THE MIDDLE of the Seven Year Time Period known as The Great Tribulation, is strong and is being openly displayed to the point that I am being betrayed to Unrighteous Lawyers and Judges…Those who rise up against me…have turned to judges of the Gods in order to try to destroy Yahweh’s work, just as they did to Yahshua”(Ibid., p. 18).
Hawkins now claims the world is in the middle of the Great Tribulation. He has not caused the rain to stop, neither has he been slain by a beast power, nor have his followers been taken to Israel. By his own criteria he is a false prophet.
Other Doctrines
Nature of God. Hawkins denies the Triune nature of the Godhead and the pre-existence of Christ: “Those who are False Prophets and Lying teachers ‘teach’ the false doctrine tha there is a ‘trinity’ or a ‘duality’ in the (and I quote) ‘GODHEAD’. Therefore, it is also The Truth of Yahweh that Yahshua Messiah did not ‘pre-exist’!” (The Prophetic Word, 7 June 1991, p. 7).
Yahweh and Jesus. He teaches that Yahweh and Yahshua are two different “beings.” “Some of those trying to support the deception of a ‘pre-existent savior, aruge that Yahshua and Yahweh are THE ‘SAME’ BEING…The Holy Scriptures plainly show that Yahshua and Yahweh are TWO DIFFERENT BEINGS!” (Did Yahshua Messiah Pre-exist?, p. 40).
Biblical Response
Yahshua is Yahweh. In Zechariah 12:10 the Hebrew text is explicit in showing that the one speaking is Yahweh, “they shall look upon me,” and that the one speaking is the one who is the object of the action; “whom they have pierced” (See also John 19:37 and Revelation 1:7).
Compare the attributes of Yahweh with the same attributes ascribed to Yahshua in these verses: Acts 4:12; Isaiah 43:11; Hebrews 1:8; Isaiah 43:10; Revelation 1:17; 22:13; Isaiah 44:6; John 8:58; Exodus 3:14; John 1:3; Isaiah 40:28; John 1:9 and 8:12; Psalms 27:1; Joel 3:12. Yahshua is Yahweh.
The Church is Christ’s Body. The Church is a spiritual body, not a man-made organization (1 Peter 2:5). No city or organization is the mandated place of worship (John 4:20-24).
The Gospel. The gospel is not a “warning message” (Acts 2:22-24, 32-38; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 2:1-2).
Only One Mediator. Functionally, Hawkins makes himself a mediator between his followers and God (1 Timothy 2:5).

Dear okieshowedem (or Billy)
Shalom.
I have decided to spam you. Take your deceptions with you somewhere else.
May Jesus have mercy on your soul, and my soul too. Amen.
I wouldn’t read your newsletter even if it was the last manuscript on earth that survived a nuclear war. I would gladly choose beheading then to read your cult organizations trash that is on par with something Charles Manson would write under the influence of LSD.

“The controversial leader of a Texas religious group, called a “sex cult” by some former members, was arrested for a second time today on bigamy charges.
“Yisrayl Bill Hawkins, the 73-year-old founder and pastor of the House of Yahweh, was charged by the Callahan County district attorney with having multiple wives, according to a complaint filed in court.
“Texas officials said he was arrested away from his compound outside Abilene, Texas to avoid any potential violence from his followers.
According to the complaint filed against Hawkins, he has multiple wives and is listed as the father of children born to two different young women last year.
In an interview for “20/20,” Hawkins’ former wife Kay says he began to preach polygamy after he was caught having an affair with a church secretary. “He began to rewrite the Scriptures,” she said. “Any Scripture that did not go along with more than one wife was rewritten to imply that it was all right to have more than one wife.”
According to the arrest complaint, Hawkins teaches his followers to lie to law enforcement officials about the multiple marriages.
Jes,
Please read these posted links. You can also Google this organization to find endless write-ups, YouTube videos, etc.
I haven’t had time to look more into billy’s website except about two articles that seemed OK but I must admit the mural of the “white buffalo” did take me a bit aback though I didn’t have time to look into that article. However, I will now, that you have so kindly provided the links.
Thanks again brother, Shabbat Shalom & Chag Samayeach!!
Unfortunately, I got sucked into listening to the guy (he was preaching some nonsense about the Two Witnesses–quite incoherent) for a bit. I skipped ahead to the part where he started talking about himself being the fulfillment of Scripture! The dirty old lecher. I’m sorry that I spent any time on it at all. 😦
I made the mistake of clicking on this page while I was eating my lunch. Yuck! I know that the RCC bends Scripture to whatever they want it to mean but one wonders if they haven’t ever read Philippians 4:8? “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” (from the NLT)
Amazing, one cult calling another cult a cult. Come on guys, there are no such things as gods or devils, And the sooner you realise this, the sooner you can start to be part of humanity. Currently you are adding nothing to the future of humankind by your continued belief in the supernatural.
Unless of course, you can actually present testable evidence for your claims about gods and such stuff. Contact any scientist and offer him your evidence for testing, he will be willing to check it out.
But a question, would you buy a house from me on faith alone? Why not? And yet you are willing to believe in gods only on faith? Something does not add up in this.
“The message of the Cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.” (1 Cor. 1:18)
….First of all if you are a true follower of YHWH, why were you on the internet at a time when you should have been getting prepared for the Yom HaBikkurim (Wave Sheaf Offering) service?
…. Secondly, I was not the one to have asked you if your Ministry was a cult but you voluntarily answered saying:
((To answer your question YES I am a member of The House Of Yahweh CULT!))
…. and then you write all that CRAP to me when you yourself is in the wrong?
… billy, okie, okieshowedem, why so many different usernames?? What the heck is going on?? It’s clear that you are an internet stalker and the best place to trap your victims is on Christian & Messianic websites. Seriously, billy, Buffalo, Israyl (Hawkins) or whatever your name is, I have read enough to know who you really are. An ex-policeman fired for drinking while on duty?? And at 73 years of age having many wives … and having fathered two babies thru two young women aged 19 & 20?? And what about the 11 year old girl you used a vaginal speculum to test if she had cervical cancer before you had sex with her. You are a SICKO! You are old enough to be their grandfather or great-grand-father – but it’s the lust of the devil that is driving you into it. And you call yourself a ‘true jew’ and preach about Yahweh at the same time indulging in this filth?? Like the Pharisees you are filled with CHAMETZ (leaven) of WICKEDNESS, filled with LAWLESSNESS – OMG! You are a slithering serpent just like the one in the ‘Garden of Eden’ that BEGUILED Eve – You are the Beelzabub, the “lord of demon flies, a liar and one of the demon princes of hell” ….. what a Scumbag!!
…. Yeshua’s words are so alive today for He did say :
– See to it that no one misleads you….. (Mark 13:5-6)
– Matthew 24-10 many will abandon the faith and betray the brethren…
– 11 many false teachers and prophets will appear and deceive many….
– 12 Because of LAWLESSNESS the love of many will grow cold…
Think carefully, all those scriptures relate to you & there are many many more.
…. Like JM said, I would also rather have my neck cut off for Yeshua than succumb to your blasphemous way of life and be thrown like the chaff of the darnel in the lake of fire with you.
…. My heart is for Yeshua and Him alone and he does give me “discernment” or at other times sends me help and protection thru other brothers & sisters who follow Him in righteousness and truth, and this time it was JM to my rescue. Not that I would have fallen for your ‘CRAP’ but it might have taken me longer before I scanned thru your website and know how deceptive you are.
With all the publicity about you being in jail etc.. all over the internet and perhaps in the American media, and I believe this is going on since 1991, you should have been ashamed of yourself and kept a low profile, maybe even cover your face due to the shame while moving in public places, instead you have the audacity to prowl around websites in order to snatch your prey.
….The rabbi of our congregation preached yesterday about the temptation of Yeshua on the mountain. He said the devil knows the scriptures so well that he twists them like a rope to deceive people – This teaching in the sermon couldn’t have come from him at a better time than this – for YOU, Hawkins, are doing exactly what HaSatan your father is doing.
Yeshua said to HaSatan, “Again it is written: ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.'” Matthew 4:7
Then Yeshua said to him, “Get behind me, Hasatan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.'” Matthew 4:10
…. Lastly, just as Yeshua had sternly replied to Hasatan, I say to you that I am a staunch follower of Yeshua and therefore, I command you Bill Buffalo Hawkins, to get away from me for good and from those you are seeking on this site. May YHWH deal with you according to your EVIL works.
Please do not get triggered by false teachers. It is our duty to try to win them over from darkness, and into the light.
I have not been very active with the spam button lately. But I will spam outright Blasphemy against the truth. The House Of Yahweh is a cult, among many. Their members will not be permitted to defame true followers of the Messiah on this site.
I like to worship my Father in Heaven. He is God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. I do not know who this “YaHuWaH” is. I can not read Hebrew, and not utter this kind of linguistic complex words. Please let me worship my Father God in Heaven in peace form this kind of fruitless non sense.
I do know the Messiah, the price of peace. But I do not know “Yahusha”. Please let me call on Him in Norwegian. I know that the Messiah understand Norwegian too. Please do not reduce God, and try to put in inside a bottle. Do not let the Messianic faith become a world championship in correct prononciation of Hebrew words, spoken by 0,2 per cent of the Worlds population.
Shalom Ivar,
(((You say: Please do not get triggered by false teachers. It is our duty to try to win them over from darkness, and into the light…)))
…. Ivar, are you kidding me? If you are trying to win this cultist (Hawkins) to the Light, who has been in this wickedness since the 1950’s, – then would you try to win the pope and his associates to the Light?? – Ha!! What a joke! Why do you write about Catholicism then, you should be at the Vatican to evangelize to the hope and all his subjects. It’s amazing how you support the wicked sometimes.
…. Anyways, Re. the name of the Almighty – I wish to use the sacred name YAHWEH and other times the abbreviation of YHWH because the scriptures clearly say that the Creator does not want to be called ‘god’ ‘lord’ and other pagan names, for these are the names of Baal even if they are written in capitals it does not pay homage to the Holy One. Some Jews say YaHuWaH (showing the importance of the Hebrew letters YHWH). You would have to do a separate Hebraic study on that to know the exact meaning of it. Then the Son’s name is pronounced Yeshua, which is more appropriate than saying ‘Jesus’ for it is a Hebrew name – Yeshua means Salvation or one who Saves – Some write/say Yahshua or Yahoshua, it’s still better than saying ‘Jesus’ – Think about it Ivar, if I called you ‘Shakespeare’ or ‘Robin Hood’ would you like it? – anyways, for more info read here: http://jesusisajew.org/YESHUA.php – Check some of the scriptures below for your info on what YHWH wants from us re. His name.
Ex 23:13- Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard from your mouth.
Josh 23:7-Don’t get mixed up with the nations left in your territory. Don’t ever mention the names of their gods or swear an oath to them. Don’t ever serve their gods or bow down to them.
Deut .12:3-Tear down their altars, crush their sacred stones, burn their poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah, cut down their idols, and wipe out the names of their gods from those places.
Deut.18:20; But any prophet who dares to say something in my name that I didn’t command him to say or who speaks in the name of other gods MUST DIE.” ((Whoa!! this is harsh.))
Hos 2:16-17)-And it shall be at that day saith Yahweh that thou shalt call me Ishi(Husband) and shalt call me no more Ba’li. 17-For I will take away the names of Ba’alim out of her mouth and they shall no more be remembered by their name (YHWH says to stop calling Him Ba’al. Stop calling Him Lord! It is evident that He desires a personal relationship with us–one where we are free to call Him by His Name or the possessive title, Husband–rather than a business relationship, where we must call Him Sir or Lord.)
Paul says there are gods many and lords many (I Corinthians 8:5). ((I bet even Paul called the Creator YAHWEH))
While in exile in Babylon, gradually, Israel forgot the Creator’s name and started calling Him lord, god, and other pagan names – Jeremiah 23:26-27. Ba’al means Lord in Hebrew.
However, the EliYahu (Elijah) message is again sounding. “How long halt ye between two opinions? If YHWH be Supreme, follow Him: but if Ba’al, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Read the rest here: http://wwfar.com/mp3s/CrossTheBorder/name/the-name.pdf
…. Lastly, – you say: ((Please let me worship my Father God in Heaven in peace form this kind of fruitless non sense.))
…. Ivar, the name of the Almighty YAHWEH is fruitless nonsense to you? Why just because of how Hawkins has twisted everything? That man is going to hell – Ivar, be careful of what you are saying for the name YAHWEH is very, very Holy not to be messed around with. If you want to pray to the Almighty in Norwegian you are free to do so but when you know the truth you have to follow the truth – no excuse!!
By the way I am not Christian neither am I Messianic I have experienced both the latter being more dangerous than the former. I just follow TORAH!! NO badges, no boards on me!!
Dear Jes.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
I am sad to see, that in your mind 0,002 per cent of the People on Earth will be saved. That makes Jesus the Messiah the biggest failure in the history of man. An impotent, not readable nor understandable “god”, who died for the sins of mankind in vain.
What non sense, and what a shame.
I am sick and tired of all this Hebrew sectarian no sense.
Jesus the Messiah is the savior of the World. He is King Messiah for all Norwegians who can not read a single word of Hebrew, and absolutely not want to compete in this non sense competition of yours, trying to pronounce Hebrew words correctly. What a shame, what an spiritual insanity.
You mock people of all nations, who have found the Messiah. Who love Him, and worship Him in spirit and in truth. You mock all who pray to Him in Norwegian, Spanish, and all languages on Earth. Your “god” in like a gene in a bottle. He never escaped from behind the Temple Curtain, and never entered the heart of any other human being, than the 0,0002 per cent of the people who believe in some kind of sectarian cult Hebrew root “god”.
You are still under the law, but a cult law. Your “god” can only accept the rituals you have made in your law. The other cult fellows are not included in your plan of salvation, you simply ex-communicate. You ex-communicate each other, using different prononciation of Hebrew words.
I do not want to have anything to do with this.
Man is saved by faith, alone.
In Jesus, alone.
Saved by His blood, alone.
Man is saved by grace, alone.
My Father God in Heaven is God of Abraham, Isaak and Jacob.
Amen.
Dear all readers.
Shalom, and love in Jesus the Messiah.
Lately, a lot of deception has been presented as truth in the comment field. I will request you to use better discernment in regards to what kind of spiritual truth Jesus the Messiah represent.
WATCH OUT, so no one deceives you.
It is my responsibility, that people will not be misguided on this site. Therefor I will not permit pure blasphemy against the blood of the Lamb. Jesus the Messiah died for the sins of all mankind. People who try to publish Papal booklets on this site will quickly be spammed. In the same manner those who present links to the Hebrew Root movement, will have to find them selves other websites.
I will not permit readers to publish links to sites of cults and sectarian movements, that leads people to the fire of Hell. Links shall honor the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth.
Dear all readers.
Shalom.
I will go through the comment fields, and remove deception in the form of links towards anti-Christian websites.
Please forgive me, If I remove some links that should not have been removed.
There will be a new set of rules on News That Matters:
1. Jew-hate will not be permitted. Neither filthy language.
2. Booklet’s, or long comments will be spammed. Please write short messages, and let them be related to the concerned topic in the published article.
3. Please do not publish links to other websites. All comments with links will be kept in the spam filter, to some of us in the News that Matters team have looked at the link, rejected them or accepted them. There will therefor be a delay before such links are published.
4. Let the debate be around the Word of God. Use scriptures to convince non Believers, or use examples from your own life.
5. On this website the Messiah Jesus of Nazareth shall be honored. Those who mock Him, will see that their comments will be deleted.
Dear Jes,
I agree with Ivar. By your posts, I’m not sure where you are coming from and what you believe. You claim to be a follower of Yeshua, but is He just Savior or is He Savior and Lord? Are you part of a Hebrew Roots movement that has denied all the teachings of the Apostle Paul?
You seem to constantly put yourself back under the Old Testament law and this puts you in grave danger. There is nothing you can do as far as performing rituals and keeping laws to earn or keep your salvation. Further, there is no correct “name” for God that will earn you a higher status if you use it.
Our relationship with Yeshua is personal and intimate. John 10:3 says, “the sheep hear His voice, and He calls His own sheep by name.”
Jesus has revealed Himself by many names in His Word. Those who love Him and know Him as Savior and Lord can call upon him intimately using many names: God, Heavenly Father, Jesus, Papa, Wonderful, Counselor, Shepherd, Everlasting God, Jehovah, Yahweh, Jehovah Shalom, etc.
To say that He can only be called upon by one Hebrew name is pure legalism and marginalizes Christ. You will not be saved under this “gospel” Jes. This is a very serious offense and one that must be rectified. Galatians 2:21 says, “I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”
No one is saying that the laws and rituals you follow are not Biblically true. The point is, they are not binding anymore. If they are still required, then Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection were not sufficient.
“How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?” (Heb. 10:29).
Paul said in Galatians 5:1-6, stand in the liberty by which Christ has made us FREE, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
“Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
“Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
“You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
“For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.
“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”
The Apostle Peter had a great summary (in 2 Peter 2) of the kind of “leadership” such cult leaders provide:
“But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves. Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered. In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed.
For God did not spare even the angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, in gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment.
And God did not spare the ancient world—except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood. Later, God condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and turned them into heaps of ashes. He made them an example of what will happen to ungodly people. But God also rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a righteous man who was sick of the shameful immorality of the wicked people around him. Yes, Lot was a righteous man who was tormented in his soul by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day. So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment. He is especially hard on those who follow their own twisted sexual desire, and who despise authority…”
And it goes on in a similar vein.
p.s. I was also quite put off by the white bull mural, Jes. I guess he uses that as a symbol for himself. Considering his sexual proclivities, a billy goat might have been a more apt choice.
Ellen, you are absolutely right on all you’ve mentioned and I also agree that a (billy) goat might have been a more apt choice but the he chose the ‘buffalo’ (or bull) – a god of gold that was made for worship by those wicked Israelites and gentiles for their own pleasures. Here’s some excerpts from an article on the ‘golden calf’
::: (( It will be argued that Israel’s worship of the Golden Calf reflects a telescoping, fusion, and re-interpretation or transformation of various concepts and motifs regarding bull calves found in the religious beliefs of Egypt, Canaan, and Mesopotamia. The myths of each region are investigated in order to identify the “historical kernels,” attested by archaeology, which came to be transformed into the Bible’s “Golden Calf incident at Mount Sinai” as well as accounting for why the Israelite king, Jeroboam, set up of Golden Calves for his people to worship at Dan and Bethel. ….
::: I have established that the ONLY god specifically called a “GOLDEN CALF” by the ancient Egyptians in their writings is Pharaoh in the Old Kingdom Pyramid Texts (these texts exist into later New Kingdom times in reworked formats). In these texts Pharaoh calls himself a “Golden Calf,” born of heaven, who wishes to be allowed to board the sacred solar bark or boat which carries the Sun god each day across the heavens.
:::: Pharaoh was called “Son of the Sun” and in New Kingdom times “the Sun,” in letters from Canaanite princes addressed to Pharaoh Akhenaten (reigned ca. 1350-1334 BCE). … http://www.bibleorigins.net/EgyptianOriginsGoldenCalf.html http://www.prophecyinthenews.com/the-mystery-of-the-golden-calf/ ))
Bottom line I think the Buffalo mural is a sexual perversion combined with the cult.
I read a bit on the two linked pages that you cited. The only problem I had with the first one is that it is from a website called, “Why the Bible Can’t Be the Word of God”. You might want to be careful of websites that have “scholars” insisting one thing or another based on modern “scholarship”. There has been a lot of this type of “scholarship” in the past 200 years and it amounts to a concerted attack against the traditional orthodox beliefs of the faith. Their assertions often prove to be false after further work (archeological and textual) determines that yes, indeed the traditional orthodox belief is correct. Satan has ALWAYS attacked the word of God. He insinuates much with his, “Did Yahweh really say?” He can lead humans into unbelief if he can get them to doubt the word. It was that way in the Garden and it will always be that way until Messiah Yeshua comes to rule and reign.

Re. Response to Ivar above –
SHOULD READ:: you should be at the Vatican to evangelize to the POPE and all his subjects. (Not ‘hope’)
Jesus and Yeshua is one and the same. For all who honor God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This is a central doctrine on News That Matters. Jesus only, or Yeshua only are sects and cults. I praise my Father in Heaven who listen to prayers in all languages.
Yes, I know that Ivar. I use the names interchangeably. When I am witnessing to Jewish people (or those who are into the Jewish roots of our faith) I use the term Messiah Yeshua so as not to upset Jewish sensibilities. Just as I likely would not make much reference to the Cross as that was the symbol under which so many Jews were persecuted. When I am witnessing to conventional Gentile believers, I would typically use Jesus and/or Christ. I think Jesus would have us have that kind of flexibility, don’t you?
Dear JM,
If I am following the Old Covenant(OT) it is not by doing rituals of lambs, goats, bulls or chickens that I am following – they are the 7 feasts commanded by the Almighty that HE NEVER made obsolete but the Christians have made them obsolete for their satisfaction saying “the OT is for the Jews only”. The seven feasts are extremely important for they are the shadows of what is to come (I’m sure you know that). There were 613 commandments based on the 10 commandments, the 10 commandments are very important to us though the 613 were divided accordingly among the people, though a few still apply for our own good – I won’t go into details here to cause further hatred in Ivar. Please do your own research.
Re. Hebrew I never knew a word of it but I made an effort to learn since the past 17 years in order to get an in depth understanding of the WORD and I’m so glad I did because I see it as the most beautiful and intriguing language I have ever known and which has given me immense insight to YHWH’s Word.
Lastly, if you agree with Ivar that’s fine with me you are free to do what you wish, but he is the one who has caused all this confusion by his lack of understanding of English and by using others comments too, to bash me. That is viciousness coming from a so-called “Christian Preacher” what a farce!! However, I’m glad you wrote because I want to thank you for your good advice and to say a final GOODBYE for I will never be on this blog anymore after this comment, so please do not respond. Ivar is a Lutheran, this blog is a CULT. LUTHERANISM is a CULT. Read my response to him, I don’t want to repeat those things here. Any religion started by man is a cult. TORAH is the WORD of the ALMIGHTY and a sign on those who follow it. Yeshua said follow me!! I don’t know if you are a Jew – if you are not not check out the meaning of TORAH for yourself. IT IS NOT LEGALISM !!
Shalom and Blessings in Yeshua
Ivar,
….. You have freaked out on me just for writing some Hebrew words that you don’t understand and which were meant for Hawkins because he understands it. Your comments are absolutely muddled, you don’t even know how to respond. Even something that I wrote as an expression, you took it literally and made a mountain out of a molehill of it. If you were a true follower of Yeshua, you would not have poured out your anger and venom on me. No one can ever tell you that you are wrong “because Ivar is always right”! What a HYPOCRITE, you are like the Pharisees of evil leaven!! Exactly what CULTIST do.
….. I understand your lack of fluency in written English but your understanding of the English language is totally absurd because you read one thing and understand something else – practically everything I write, and what I write is always Scripture based … but instead of verifying what is written you always bring the hammer down on me. I have noticed you have done this a lot of times even in the past when I have not even written anything wrong. However, you did not have the guts to confront Hawkins a pedophile, & a cultist and on top of that you greet him like a long-lost-friend by saying “Shalom”. It is so ironic that you are using the HEBREW word “SHALOM” without even knowing its true meaning and detesting the Hebrew language and the Hebrew Names of the Almighty & His Son by saying they are “FRUITLESS NONSENSE”. Do I have to tell you that calling the names of the Creator FRUITLESS NONSENSE is blasphemy?
THE LUTHERANISM IS A CULT:
…. Just as Martin Luther hated the Jews – You hate the Jews, the Hebrew language and the Sacred names of the Almighty and his sacred TORAH. That’s because you want to promote your false religion. What are you trying to achieve by this? To meet your leader in hell? – This kind of work is an assignment from the devil himself.
…. The Savior Yeshua(Jesus) said; “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me”. (John 10:27)– but you choose to follow the wolf. You think you and your CULT religion is the perfect one? Until now, I had not realized that (LUTHERANISM) is a CULT just like Seventh Day Adventist, Jehovah’s Witness, Mormonism & more all these cults were started either by a man or woman. So why are you criticizing other religions like Catholicism, Hinduism, Judaism etc.? First take the log out of your eye and then the splinters of the others eyes …does this sound familiar to you?? Luke 6: 41-42
You are so much like your VILE, hate filled religious leader “Martin Luther”. Have you forgotten the highly offensive language that he used against the Jews in one of his books.
:::: ((In 1543 Luther published On the Jews and Their Lies in which he says that the Jews are a “base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth.”[13] They are full of the “devil’s feces … which they wallow in like swine.”[14] The synagogue was a “defiled bride, yes, an incorrigible whore and an evil slut …”[15] He argues that their synagogues and schools be set on fire, their prayer books destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, homes razed, and property and money confiscated. They should be shown no mercy or kindness,[16] afforded no legal protection,[17] and these “poisonous envenomed worms” should be drafted into forced labor or expelled for all time.[18] He also seems to advocate their murder, writing “[w]e are at fault in not slaying them”.[19] ….. wikipedia)) …. This and tons of other very nasty things… check it out for yourselves.
I want nothing to do with you or your website anymore hence I’m cutting off from your site for good. Don’t even bother responding to my comment for I won’t be reading it. I’m cleaning out every newsletter I have ever received from you. Don’t even bother to email me, I will spam it … I DON’T TRUST YOU ANYMORE. May Yeshua Messiah, the Great King and Judge deal with you accordingly.
I do not know if you will read this, but I am thankful for all the blessings I have received from you for the articles published on this blog. I am sad that you have changed your mind.
I hope and pray, that you will be willing to come to the cross at Calvary, and lay down your life for King Jesus the Messiah. I have been blessed to know Him as Yeshua your Messiah.
I pray that you will embrace the New Covenant, and be saved. Saved by the blood of the Lamb of God.
There are many hundred million Christians in the World, who love the Jewish Messiah and who love the Jewish people. We will forever stand with Israel in her time of trouble.
May Jesus bless you, and keep you safe from all kinds of deceptions. Amen.
Jesus summed up this lot perfectly ‘ WHITEWASHED SEPULCHURES FULL OF DEAD MENS BONES’ This is the RC church and many will no doubt defend this practice. I once read that every single RC church building is required to have a relic in the foundations, not sure if that bit is actually true but all this bone and corpse stuff is naughty.
I was born in Italy a catholic all the way, finished all the sacrament, required to pre marriage, then I began reading the bible, and many teaching of the vatican were not matching with scriptures.
when I asked the priestly authority they gave men reasoning and not biblical, that I should accept because their wisdom was higher than mine. I refused to accept illogical reasons and began my quest for truth.
I have not stopped since that first experience 27 years ago, to dig and find who is really the vatican. I have come to this realization in which 95% of the simple catholics are not remotely aware .
the vatican is a Lucifer worshipper and hides it true truth from its members, similar with the case Jon Jones which hid the true content in the grape juice, and caused a mass killing of his followers.
the same is about to repeat and you and I can not do nothing to stop it. the only salvation is to accept the true King of King Yehoshua ( Jesus), and refuse the Vatican and their pagan gods, and celebrations.
Even if we die, they kill only the body, our soul will be justified and will endure in eternity with our Creator.
The instrument of death today are way more powerful and billions will die. world war three is at the door and the vatican is leading this in secret as has done before.
The harlot drunk with the blood of the saints is not stopping. history is about to repeat itself, people have forgotten the vatican killing from Caesar, crusades, inquisition, civil wars, ottoman wars, 1, 2 word war.
There has not been any war where the vatican has not conceived to cause death and destruction and change the game to reach the goal of a New world Order.
If you would like to document on these claim read the story of Alberto Rivera ex Jesuit priest. he also gives many others references to look if it is not clear to you.
May the Holly Spirit of YHVH guide you in all the truth.
I love my fellow catholics brothers and sisters included, I oppose the Evil and Deception of their leaders.
My husband is Italian-American and he was raised in the RCC. He became a Christian from hearing the Gospel readings on Sunday morning and reading it for himself later on, during his elementary school years. When he was a young man, he decided that he must leave the RCC as there was much teaching there that was at variance to the Bible. He has never regretted that decision and continues to pray for his Catholic relatives. The superstition early conditioning among many Catholics is difficult to overcome. I have RCC cousins whom I dearly love but they are unlikely to ever leave. I do know that they seem to be “born again” and I hope that they are saved. I know that my husband was saved while he was still in the RCC. I hope that is the case for many. What I have heard from many former Catholics is that once a Catholic becomes saved, it becomes more and more difficult to stay in the RCC—especially if one knows anything at all about what goes on in the Vatican and Roman Curia.
I hardly know where to start in response to this ignorant, anti-Catholic rant. There is so much distortion and disregard for history and truth here that It would take a very long article to shoot down all the lies contained in it. I will pray that the Holy Spirit will enlighten Ivar.
Leviticus 21:10 ~ “The high priest…must not enter a place where there is a dead body. He must not make himself unclean, even for his father or mother,”
Numbers 19:11-13 ~ “Whoever touches the dead body of anyone will be unclean for seven days. He must purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third and seventh days, he will not be clean. Whoever touches the dead body of anyone and fails to purify himself defiles the LORD’s tabernacle. That person must be cut off from Israel. Because the water of cleansing has not been sprinkled on him, he is unclean; his uncleanness remains on him. This is the law that applies when a person dies in a tent: Anyone who enters the tent and anyone who is in it will be unclean for seven days”
Haggai 2:13 ~ “Then Haggai said, “If a person defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, does it become defiled?” “Yes,” the priests replied, “it becomes defiled.””
Leviticus 21:1-4 ~ “The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: ‘A priest must not make himself ceremonially unclean for any of his people who die, except for a close relative, such as his mother or father, his son or daughter, his brother, or an unmarried sister who is dependent on him since she has no husband–for her he may make himself unclean. He must not make himself unclean for people related to him by marriage, and so defile himself.”
Numbers 6:11 ~ “The priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for him because he sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. That same day he is to consecrate his head.”
The saddest thing is that ALL of Christianity came from and out of the Catholic religion. They all have the same God and the same Jesus whom they call the Christ.
According to the Hebrew prophets the Christ of the Christian religion is the AntiMessiah that all the prophets and apostles of the real Hebrew Messiah warned us was coming.
The apostles said that the spirit of this AntiMessiah was at work in their day.
You can read this in 1 Yahchan 4:And 2532 every 3956 spirit 4151 that 3739 confesseth 3670 not 3361 that Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 is come 2064 in 1722 the flesh 4561 is 2076 not 3756 of 1537 God 2316: and 2532 this 5124 is 2076 that [spirit] of antichrist 500, whereof 3739 ye have heard 191 that 3754 it should come 2064; and even 2532 now 3568 already 2235 is it 2076 in 1722 the world 2889.
Now here is the truth from a very close translation of what the Hebrew really says
This great apostles Name was YAHCHANAN which means Yahweh’s Is Merciful in the Hebrew Language…see why the changed his Name?
1 Yahchanan ( John ) 4:1-Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, to see whether they are of Yahweh; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you will know the Spirit of Yahweh: Every spirit that confesses that Yahshua Messiah started in the flesh is of Yahweh, 3 And every spirit that does not confess that Yahshua Messiah started in the flesh is not of Yahweh. So this is the spirit of the Anti-Messiah which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 4 You are of Yahweh, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is He Who is in you, than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world; therefore, they speak of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of Yahweh. He who knows Yahweh, hears us; he who is not of Yahweh, does not hear us. By these we can know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
From The Book of Yahweh,
May the same Spirit that inspired the prophets and apostle to write to us and warn us of these days you and I are living in bless your understanding.
The veneration (not worship) of relics, be they bits of bone or entire bodies – goes back to the early church, and it’s Scriptural. In 2 Kings 13:21, we read that a body, being buried by Israelites, was thrown into a cave where it touched the BONES of St. Elisha, and that the dead man was restored to life. The bones had no power of their own, but God worked a miracle THROUGH them. Who then are you to mock this, and ridicule the ancient custom of honoring the relics of saints? Who are you to deny God the ability to work miracles in any way He chooses? When Christians venerate relics, they are in fact acknowledging the saving power of Christ and God, and the possibility of miracles, which God can work through ANY aspect of HIS CREATION that HE chooses.
The bones of a Jew named Elisha was not cut into pieces, and sold by the priests. Neither did they take his skull with them, and displayed the skull in their Synagogues.
The Roman Catholic Church is the skull and bone socielty, the modern temple of Dagon. Your priests are the wicked worshipers of skulls, corpses and bones.

OMG!! This is so sickening. Looking at these pictures is like taking a trip to hell. It’s getting more and more gross each time.
As for the Pontiff needing deliverance is like asking the devil to repent and return to God!! No, no, no, this is never ever gonna happen for both.
Dear Jes.
Shalom, and thanks for blessing me with your comment.
As I have told, the Popes holds a sticky wicket. They are called “the Holy Father” . The Pope must change that. But made infallible by the Roman Catholic Church, He is trapped in the loop. Its like the chicken and the egg. Who came first?
Personally speaking I really don’t see Rome or the Popes ever being willing to change what ‘they’ feel is not wrong. Can someone please explain to me how you can read the Bible, what the Lord said we’re NOT to do with or to statues, etc. but feel that it’s alright to go against Jesus and do it anyway???
This is beyond sick and twisted, yet those in this warped system don’t seem to think there’s anything wrong here, but as the saying goes, “what would Jesus do”?
Y’all, look, I’m a Catholic, but I’m not going to get into how wrong most of this information is right now. But the Catholic church has multiple saint Catherines. There’s Catherine Laboure, Catherine of Siena, Catherine of Bologna, Catherine of Alexandria, and many more. That’s not one body that they’re taking apart and putting on display in different places; they’re multiple different skeletons. The Saint Catherine sitting up is Saint Catherine of Bologna, the head of Saint Catherine on display is Saint Catherine of Siena. Please check your sources, because they’re wrong. God bless you all, have a nice day!
Such horrible pictures to look at.
It is horrible that people pray to these bones, that when buried return to dirt.
Jesus Christ is the only one who resurrected, and is Holy. I hope many people see that before it’s too late.
Dear Gloria.
Shalom.
The Roman Catholic Church is a global cult, and their priests are a priesthood of Baal worshipers.
There is a good example in the second book of Kings, about what needs to be done with bone worshipers.
2 Kings 23:13-16
The king also desecrated the high places that were east of Jerusalem on the south of the Hill of Corruption—the ones Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the vile god of Moab, and for Molech the detestable god of the people of Ammon. Josiah smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles and covered the sites with human bones.
Even the altar at Bethel, the high place made by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin—even that altar and high place he demolished. He burned the high place and ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole also. Then Josiah looked around, and when he saw the tombs that were there on the hillside, he had the bones removed from them and burned on the altar to defile it, in accordance with the word of the LORD proclaimed by the man of God who foretold these things.
(end of scriptures)
“Sacred poles of wood, stones and bones”. The Catholic priests pray and give offerings to Molech.
you’re all psychos and crazy people anyway. doesn’t matter if you play dressup with bones or not. If you believe in a magical sky daddy then you’re a freakin’ fruitcake.
This is disrespectful to the dead, first of all. Digging up bodies is ungodly. Dressing up skeletons to be adored is idolatry. This is a good exposition. Thank you Ivar. This kind of thing needs to be seen. It looks like a Halloween horror movie, and it is what the RCC calls “holy”.
Dear Sue.
Shalom, and thanks for this comment.
I am sure 8 out of 10 Catholics will agree with you. The problem is that the large majority do not know what the Pope and his cardinals are doing behind closed doors. Today, with electronic camera’s everywhere, photo’s taken by Catholic priests and leaders will end up on facebook’s. Because such publishers are the 2 out of 10 Catholics who feel this is “holy”.
I have shown pictures like these to quite a few Roman Catholics. After they have seen evidence of such gruesome activities done by the claimed to be “Holy Father”, they have had sleepless nights. But: Better a nightmare a day, than to have to spend eternity in the flames of Hell. That will be the “fruits” of supporting such a corrupt and wicked religious movement.
Please keep on showing family and friends the truth about the Vatican. It is a matter of life or death.
what are they doing behind closed doors? please inform me because this is my religion and i have a right to know. i would be most appreciative if you would give me the information you have been given. i will only testify if i have all of my information positively proven.
I think this is neat. Being able to actually see and study people of that time you can tell how the skeleton had evolved even from a couple decades ago. It’s small but still interesting. A long time ago, the dead were celebrated (by everyone not just Catholics) by having their body paraded around town and the town held a collective mounting period where people could view them. (Thank goodness for being able to preserve body’s amirite?!) it’s still common to this day, even as more and more people turn to cremation. Interesting right?
Please don’t turn your American cultural prejudices into a universal maxim of decency. There is nothing ungodly or disrespectful about digging up bodies. This is a traditional Mediterranean custom, and was practiced by Jesus’ own people: when space is limited, bodies are traditionally uncovered after a number or years, the bones are collected, washed, and placed in an ossuary, so that the limited grave sites can be reused.
Can’t speak to the Roman Catholics, but the true Orthodox understanding about relics is part and parcel of belief in the Incarnation of God, and in salvation by faith and grace, in Jesus Christ.
http://orthodoxinfo.com/general/relics_place.aspx
James, “This is a traditional Mediterranean custom, and was practiced by Jesus’ own people”?? Can you provide ‘Biblical proof’ of this please (chapter and verse if necessary)?
I ask because the “majority” of this crap and nonsense is “man-made” traditional mess done to put a different face on death, mainly to ‘take away from what Christ did by His resurrection’.
Amazing how mankind puts a spin on what God/Jesus call unholy, in order to make it right in ‘their’ own eyes. This reeks of satan and man just follows as if it’s alright, rather than questioning what God/Jesus have to say about it “first”. Very sad and horrific folks.
The seven headed hydra of Rome IS the catholic church. Idol worship is strictly forbidden by God. The Vatican is a center of incredible evil.
Praying to the dead and maintaining corpses for idol worship is just insane. The atheists must love this stuff! I can hear them, “Look at these crazy people! Not only do the believe they didn’t crawl out of the sea to become a grand evolutionary development but they pray to dead bodies. They’re probably zombie lovers, as well.”
“They’re probably zombie lovers, as well.”
Yep! I agree, DeanH – good point.
and who knows how many “Real Zombies” they have in the vatican through contact with intelligent beings from out space otherwise what is their interest in the UFO’s. Now we know how spooky it is in their closet.
If you guys think this is a joke then why is the vatican trying to make contact with these ‘aliens or UFO’s? Perhaps they have already been in contact since the building of the “Tower of Babel”
Take a look at at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2JF4w_QjZ4 – also see the other related videos.
The devil is calling on the demons? O, sure they’ll come even without an invitation. Read the book of Revelation whole of Chapter 9: praticularly 9:11 (weird number) however, 9:11 is Abbadan, or Apollyn, the ‘pit of hell’ that will be opened by God to let loose the ‘fallen angels’, these same ones were bound in chains in the deep underground of the earth at the time of the flood. The UFO’s or aliens are the offsprings (Rephaim) of the ‘fallen angels'(Nephillim) whose spirits went up into the universe and occupied the planets, and galaxies. This is a very true and important subject and no one seems to preach or teach on this. It’s high time someone started educating the world on this issue. Because if people do not walk in the footsteps of Yeshua(Jesus) then these demons are going to make hell out of their lives. I’m not saying this of my own understanding – God is saying so, in HIS WORD. We have to remember that ‘what happened in the beginning the same will happen in the end’. The vatican is the seed of satan (serpent seedline) therefore, God is calling out to His people, “Come out of her my people” The mother of all harlots…. http://www.comeoutofhermypeople.com/
Have any of you noticed at all how the skull of St Agnes of Rome actually looks compared to the other skulls? If you look closely her eyes look odd – I mean the eye sockets one of them has a weird “dip” in it and the nose well check that out as well!The nose area of the skull – well compare that to the other nose areas of the other skulls above and you will see a vast difference.
I believe this St Agnes person’s skull is not human!
Dear Melanie.
Shalom, welcome to this site.
In regards to St. Agnes, and the skull that is presented as ‘holy” in a Church in Rome:
You have done a very interesting observation. Since I am not a bone and skull specialist, I am not able to verify.
But with so many mad and demonized Roman Catholic priests around, it is not unlikely that they have collected some of their multiple skulls from the Zoo.
Let us venerate the bones….lol
I have just come across your website by accident. I was intrigued by your title of a skeleton dressed up as a nun. I presume the lady was a nun so fail to understand your surprise. I have visited the church in which St Jean Vianney is displayed and he is dressed as a Priest – because he was a Priest. And in Westminster Cathedral lies the body of St John Southworth also dressed as a Priest – because he was an ordained Priest.
I can’t quite understand why politics seem to enter your blog which seems to be full of errors regarding the Holy Catholic Church. If people wish to know the truth then they would be ill advised to read your posts. Sorry but I won’t be visiting again.
Dear Pelerin.
Shalom, and welcome to this site.
Is it correct to take dead bodies out from the grave?
Should not buried people stay buried?
Can a skull become holy?
Good question, what does holy mean? For instance; It says remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. But what does it mean to keep something holy?
The worshiping decayed dead bodies is disgusting btw and not biblical at all. Definitely something from horror movies or out of Ancient Egypt. But no surprise scripturally since the bible describes the Christian section of Jerusalem , where christ died, to be in the end times as Sodom and Egypt.
Your Comment: I have visited the church in which St Jean Vianney is displayed and he is dressed as a Priest – because he was a Priest.
My Comment:You claim that Ivar’s blog is full of errors when it comes to the catholic church, and in the same breath have visted these sites which cleary worship bones and such in their pagan practices.
Do you not know that it is Christ who created all things, and the worldly images you serve are nothing? It is Christ who shed his blood for us, and deserves all of the Glory.
The bible is clear on these horrific types and any other types of vainful worship.
Roman 1:22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator–who is forever praised. Amen.
Jeremiah 1:16 says: And I will declare my judgments against them, for all their evil in forsaking me. They have made offerings to other gods and worshiped the works of their own hands.
Verily, verily, I say to you: Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man you shall not have life within you. For His flesh is real food and His blood is real drink.
You people are incredibly uninformed. You don’t even get the name of the church right. St. Agnes “Agoniste” has nothing to do with “agony.” It is called that because the Piazza Navona was an area where athletes used to compete – agonistes – and the church means “St. Agnes, by where the Athletes used to compete.” As to the rest, it’s clearly a waste of time to explain to you the processes of canonization, or the use of relics, but Catholics don’t “pray to” them. They venerate them and remember, but only as a focus to prayer to Christ. You should all grow up, or at least try to become informed.
Dear Dolly.
Shalom, and welcome to this site.
The name of the Church, is the quote from the site where this picture of the skull can be found. It is only given as a reference, and your comment is besides the point.
Focus on the horrible skull, set up in this claimed to be a Church.
In regards to Catholic veneration of skull and bones, I suggest you rather go out and admire a nice sunset on the beach.
Piazza Navonna’s original name was Circus Agonalis. It was descriptive of the horrific events that happened there- “athletes” competing until death. Why else change the name if they were not afraid it was giving away the truth? We are told that agones means games. But we know that agonal/agony is the struggle that precedes death.
Dolly, the alarm is sounding for you and other catholics, it’s time to wake up and see the truth. Who are you worshiping, the angels, saints, the so called our lady (Mary) instead of Our King Yeshua(Jesus)?
Not much time is left to decide on eternity, make up your mind today who you shall serve; the God of Israel or the dumb gods of catholicism. The King of Heaven and Earth is already on His way, when He touches down on earth, He is not gonna rapture you to heaven but rather throw you and the catholic church into the lake of fire of no return. Do your study and may you find the truth.
Dear Jes.
Shalom, and thanks for helping people on this site. And in specially Dolly, loved by Jesus our Master.
Roman Catholics can not the see the truth, if they are not delivered from demonic oppression. Our job is to tell them the truth. After 1.500 year of systematic false teachings, the Vatican is doomed for death and destruction. Hundreds of Millions of Roman Catholics will follow their Pope and priests, into the eternal fire.
But not you, Dolly. Please repent, and get rid of this demonic yoke your parents have placed up on you from your childhood.
Dear Ivar,
I would be very joyful to see many Catholics leave the evil religion and return to the true God(YHVH) therefore, I am more straight forward with my comments hoping that Catholics will do their homework but not defend or debate. May the light of Jesus shine on them I pray.
In your last sentence you wrote: [Please repent, and get rid of this demonic yoke your parents have placed up on you from your childhood]
Well, I think that parents should not be blamed for being in this religion because they themselves are ignorant about it as it has been passed down through the ancestors who were forced into it. I won’t repeat the history but you know what Rome did to all nations, no one was spared though Jews and Christians suffered the most. It is sad because most Catholics do not know their true roots because these roots were uprooted with such horror that is unimaginable. I want the Lord Jesus to come back soon for I am truly sick of this sin-sick world.
Chanukah Blessings to you and all who visit this blog.
i love Jesus with all of my heart. in fact, i worship him! i worship Jesus Christ, i adore Mary (my mother), and i honor the saints. i explain better in examples:
A young girl loses her grandmother who was very close to her. years later< she finds herself in a part of life where one needs loving advice. having lost her grandmother, the only person she would ever feel comfortable talking with about this situation, she prays to her grandmother. praying is just a way of talking to those who are not tangibly with us. yes, we pray to Jesus and mary and the saints all the same, but we only worship Jesus. some people would say," but the saints are not your relatives. how can you know that they did the amazing things you have eard of if you weren't there to see it."
my answer is this:
don't we all feel proud when we learn a distant relative did something great. we may not have proof that we are actually related to that person, and we may have been born many hundreds of years too late to wittness that amazing thing, but we trust that our sources tell the truth. we trust and feel proud even though no wittnesses are still alive to corect us on details.
besides these things, aren't we all related to eachother in the end? shouldn't we pray to our brothers and sisters to tell them thanks for creating these lively holy stories which we will pass down in legend throughout our generations?
many people who see these miracles (not only catholics) kneel and pray infont of these holy men and women. if someone would have told these saints what would happen to their bodies after death, they most likely would have responded,"God's will be done". to them, whatever happens to their body after death won't matter when their soul is in heaven.
what is happening is the exact opposite of grave robbery. their remains are not revealed with horrible intentions< but instead the best kind of intentions. the pope and priests that do this venerating buisness do it to show the people of the world what Christ can do and how committing one's self wholly to the services of God can effect your whole being; body and soul. instead of being robbed of all of the precious valuables that were buried with these people, christians adorn the bodies with jewels and flowers of every type and color. this is not even close to what people would give to Jesus, so don't go and get any ideas about us treating the saints as if they were our savior. we love our Lord more than all the saints combined. people like to omagine what catholics pray about, but the truth is you can't judge people on what they pray about.no one can simply walk into a church and hear the thoughts of everyone praying and hear what they are praying for/about. therefor don't make guesses and estimates. the only thing you can be sure of is that we pray about people who need it; we pray for the saints to recommend our prayers and needs to God; and we pray TO Jesus the everlasting Lord and Savior. We say we pray to the saints sometimes, but who doesn't slip up on words occasionally? the saints are our brothers and sisters ready to hear our prayers and give us advice through their Lord's administration and law.
i love you all, my brothers and sisters in Christ!
we admire the saints,
we honor mary,
we worship Jesus.
this is all you have to remember about catholics. it should also be the only thing you have to say about us, but i will let God hande that lesson.
Dear Dashti.
Shalom.

You worship the saints
You have falsified the truth about Mary
You promote a false Jesus.
Dashti.
How do you know Mary hears you or saints? These are attributes belonging to God.
Dashti.
How do you know Mary hears you or saints? These are attributes belonging to God alone. Where in scripture did the apostles pray to dead people?
In Him.
Sue
i want to be understanding and still be able to voice my oppinion without being rude or insulting. i really do want to understand everyone’s point of veiw, so i guess i’ll ask questions.
1)what is your personal definition of worship, explain it in your own words.
2)what do you call the people that have made it to heaven.
3)what is your oppinion on mary, the mother of God. what do YOU call her?
4)do you celebrate lent?
these are a few simple questions that come straight from my curiosity. i would be most thankful if you would answer them for me, because i would like to bring both sides of the faith together in an understanding of one another. please feel absolutely free to ask any questions that are bugging you about the catholic religion. i will try to answer them to the best of my abilities.
to ivar:
im sorry to be so blunt, but i dont know what kind of catholics you have been talking to. i personally (personally as in i only know positively what i think and have no clue about other people) dont really worship anyone but Jesus. i love the saints as my brothers and sisters, as i love you, i love mary as my mother and friend, and i love Jesus as my savior. i love him as someone who has died for me (how ironic) or as…. well, there is really no way to describe love for Jesus. im sure you feel this way about Christ, too.
to sue:
really, to be truthful, i dont have any proof (and a dream i once had including God. ask me if you want to hear the story). then again, there is the realization that the only proof i personally have of my faith is a book that could have been written by anyone. does that mean im going to completely dismiss the thought of there really being a loving God out there that wants me to believe in him and embrace his generocity, no way. i live off of faith and grace (plus a little food and water now and then)(that food and water thing was a joke by the way). most people do. there is some magnificent proof out there, but i know not enough about it to share. your second post mentioning the apostles intrigued me. surely you must know that no one could enter to heaven before Jesus died. after Jesus did die, the apostles still didnt have any saints to pray to. the apostles died before anyone else had the time to committ their lives to Christ, and die. by the way, almost all the apostles are saints, too. just though you might find that interesting.
i love you all!!!!
~dashti~
‘surely you must know that no one could enter to heaven before Jesus died. after Jesus did die” – What about Moses, Elijah and Enoch?.
Start up the Jackhammers and start destroying the walk of fame in hollywood, Ca…why? There are prints of feet and hands of mostly dead people. If someone famous dies, we should hide their pictures as well…because they are dead! OMG Dude, these people that are now part of the buildings are former church goers of that church that requested to become one body with the church of christ here on earth while their soul is with him in heaven. It a reminder that we are but a blooming flower. Have you never dried a flower from prom and kept it? Same applies here, a special person, holy person is remembered and celebrated for hearing the word of God and keeping it. Thanks for the beautiful pictures…as a catholic it was very helpful and inspiring. I am proud to belong to the only true church founded by Peter the apostles and still heaed by his office today by Pope Benedict 16th. We love our Pope!
Dear Bill The Great
Shalom, and welcome to this site.

My reply:
That is an amazing observation.
So all the Catholics who are not a part of the decoration inside their Church, is not a part of the body of Christ on Earth?
Whatever skull who has not been placed inside the wall of this claimed to be “Holy Church”, failed to be redeemed by the papists?
There was someone who wrote in this blog, that many of these skulls are not from humans, but collected from among dead animals. I guess, like dead dogs. I would not at all be surprised what these perverted Catholic priests can do.
My best take of you message, is that the Catholic Church really is the very House of Demons, explained to us in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 18:2
With a mighty voice he shouted: “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.
In response to what Bill The Great says here:
***OMG Dude, these people that are now part of the buildings are former church goers of that church that requested to become one body with the church of christ here on earth while their soul is with him in heaven***
Hi Bill,
Are you phychic, a prophet or what to know that the above mentioned people are in heaven? And … just why are they in heaven, because they were good actors and actresses? Lol!!
And … will you go to heaven for following the pope or will you go to heaven for following the Jewish MESSIAH YESHUA(Jesus Christ)?
Something for you to ponder on very seriously.
Dear Jes.
Shalom.
Thanks for ministering to Bill, who need to reflect on the article, and his own comment. We who believe in Jesus the Messiah needs to take the Jewish Apostle Paul seriously.
Ephesians 5:11
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
Shalom Ivar,
Thanks for your comment and the scripture quote you’re right and… Yes, most take Paul writings very seriously, no objection to that, but I go straight to the teachings of Yeshua Messiah for He is the WORD Himself.
Dear Dashi,
First of all, I appreciate this debate because you write with a spirit of kindness and love which is of the utmost importance.
You said:
surely you must know that no one could enter to heaven before Jesus died. after Jesus did die, the apostles still didnt have any saints to pray to.
My comment:
Steven was the first to die. The apostles could have prayed to him being that all of them were alive except Steven.
The truth is “praying to saints” did not exist. In Judaism is would be pure idolatry. The apostles were Jewish and we should follow their example, not the tradition of men.
dear sue,
i thank you very much for saying that. i feel as if the only way to intervene in this unnecessary dispute between religions is with utmost kindness.
as for what has been said, i think i have a working hypothosis. there are many different religions that spread across the world, right? everyone is trying to convert each other and not many people are getting converted. i think if we ask more questions and give more kinly said explainations we can all come to a mild agreement. the Lord said he would come back. he did not say what he would look like or what he would be wearing. really, we dont know if he’ll be a male or female. all we really know is that he will come the same way he left. we should treat everyone in the kindest manner possible and not be so quick to accuse because there is a piece of the Lord in us all. of course we were made in the likeness of the Lord himself, but that in no way means that wew are prone to making mistakes. i think we all know that first-hand. that doesnt mean that we cant try to be as Christ-like as we possibly can. the saints are in my religion as a role model for all those who have trouble understanding to be
Christ-like. the saints are people who we can read about and relate to certain parts of hardship in their lives. i would also like to point out that most of the saints are martyrs. they gave up their lives for God and are remembered specially because of that. i found this website that might be interesting to you, but i didnt have time to read all of it : http://www.scripturemenu.com/BibleVerseList.html?topicid=47
i am very graetfull for all of the people that will sit down and spare the time to read all of this. i know at first glance it seems dreadfully long, but i struggle to find the right ways to say things and still keep it short. again, i thank you!!!
your sister through God,
~dashti~
i believe Jesus will probably reveal all the answers to our questions when he returns, so why fight about it now? he wants us to act like family and we (at least some of us) fight like cats and dogs. peace would be so peaceful to have right now…..lol.
love you, ~dashti~
“You will not allow your holy one to see corruption.” – Ps 15.
would anyone like to argue with the word of the Bible? i love you guys, but sometimes someone just has to be wrong.
That verse refers to Jesus, Dashti. He rose from the dead and did not rot in the grave.
yes, i know. but You are holy, i am holy, ivar is holy. Jesus is divinely holy, the saints were exceptionally holy. can you see where i’m coming from in this?
Dashti,
The only one who can be called Holy is Our Savior Jesus Christ. I am a sinner, Ivar is a sinner, Sue is a sinner, all saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, but we are not holy, nor were these so called “saints” holy.
It is only Jesus Christ Our King who is.
We are holy, we who are saved by the blood of Jesus.
We have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
We are made perfect through Jesus.
Jesus makes us holy through his own blood.
Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.
Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.
We are to purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
In view of God’s mercy, we are to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is our spiritual act of worship.
Do you see all those decayed bodies of the Catholic Saints? Notice that they are decayed. Catholics claim that their Saint’s bodies don’t decay, they believe that because they have not understood the scriptures.
Jesus is the One whose body did not see decay.
Acts 13:35 So it is stated elsewhere: “‘You will not let your Holy One see decay.’
Psalm 16:10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
Acts 2:27 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
Catholics don’t claim that the bodies of Saints don’t decay; however, the bodies of some declared saints remain uncorrupt. I have a hard time believing that any of these pictures are authentic because I saw the uncorrupt head of Saint Catherine of Sienna in 2009 and her skin looked as if she had only passed away a few days earlier (note: she died in the thirteenth century).
I don’t understand how your quoted Scripture verses are relevant to your point. Catholics don’t quote these to somehow justify a Scriptural basis for this natural phenomenon. They just don’t.
Dear Proud to be Catholic
Shalom, and thanks for this comment.
If there was only one skull and one corpse inside one Roman Catholic Church, it would be wrong to claim that the RCC is the very skull and bones society. But when skulls, bones and corpses are exposed and venerated in their thousands, we do not need to question if a photo or two are authentic.
Please take a look at the skull and bone files on this blog.
https://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/category/vatican-skulls-and-bones/
In regards to scriptures, Jesus spoke about people who are full of dead man bones. I feel this verse is relevant for “Churches” who are filled up with this kind of dead stuff.
Dear Proud to be Catholic,
I can verify that the above images of St. Catherine of Bologna are true as I pilgrimaged to her twice and saw her body dressed like this and sitting upright with my own eyes. What many fail to realize is that the clothing of these dead bones have to be laundered and the dead person does not do laundry. So these nuns who care for these dead bones havecalot of work to do to take down the skeleton with it’s black-decayed skin, take off the clothes, wash & press them, then redress the bones and finally reposition the body to an upright position!
Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:60 NIV).

Well I think the church is the only good thing that exisit on earth the logic of good is the illogic of evil sometimes we should ask ourselves which is better making good or bad? and who is our ennemy ? Is it another man who was born the way ? No guess it is something else … Something evil that want us to be bad but for what ? To stay away from good ? So to choose the evil way that will take us to the abyss . But good will lead us to good some call it heaven but I call it jesus . everyone who is with Jesus is in the good way and who is not with Jesus is in the bad way which will lead to the loss of god in the end and in both ways it is a personal choice which we make by free will . So decide as we will live only for some 100 years what we will choose ? Help others or destroy them ??? Thanks for ur time …
Do some research, genius. The one in a Franciscan habit seated in the chair is St. Catherine of Bologna. The disembodied head in the glass case, wearing a Dominican veil, is St. Catherine of Siena. Neither relic has been moved for centuries. The skill on the table is neither. I have no idea who it is. Maybe a saint… but it looks more like a Vodoun altar to me.
Ok, first: eewwwwww. Second: “Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth.” Disgusting.
Nothing like venerating ROTTED BODIES. The RCC is a wacked out, insane cult with an equally insane leader (pope). But folks, if you think this is bizarre, google The Cadaver Synod.
What a horrible institution trying to claim it’s a “religion”. Sickening! Adoration of body parts, rotted faces…cavemen were smarter than the catholics of today!
This is so sad, sickening and worrisome.
If this is true, then we the members of this faith are lost really. It’s no wonder in Hebrews we are told “…people are perishing because of lack of knowledge.”
I’m just as speechless!!!
Don’t fret about relics Mburu: the veneration of relics is a true, ancient, Christian, Biblical practice. The power of relics is even recorded in the Old Testament:
2 Kings 13:21 (KJV)
And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men ; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
The veneration of relics is part of truly believing in the Incarnation of God.
http://orthodoxinfo.com/general/relics_place.aspx
As far as Roman Catholicism goes, they have indeed distorted the Gospel by embracing false doctrines about God (the Filioque), His Mother (the Immaculate Conception), the Church (Papal Infallibility), the Sacraments (unleavened bread), man (inherited juridical guilt), salvation (Purgatory, Indulgences), etc. But on the topic of relics they have preserved the true original teaching.
Don’t listen to these Protestants’ ravings. They are blind guides of the blind.
Check out Orthodoxy if you want the true light of Christ!
James,
I find it quiet strange to put relics as part of the worship in the churches. I think, this is generally a pagan form of worship, where a great person’s skeletons would be kept as a memory of the great work done.
I’m planning a trip to Europe this spring. I also plan to visit the mummified remains of this dead broad, break the glass, reach in, grab her wishbone, and make a wish right there on the spot by doing the turkey bone routine.
Look out Powerball, here I come!!
Hey, may not help but couldn’t hurt
Praise Father Yahweh for establishing His House in these Last Days
For those out there that do not know of this wondeful news please come by our web site and see for yourself what great things Father Yahweh and His beloved Son Yahshua Messiah are doing in your life time.

May Spirit Holy that inspired the prophets and apostles of Yahshua Messiah to write to us bless your understaning.
Okie
Your opinions are very well noted I’m sure! but remember that God teaches to love and not to judge. To tolerate and to be humble !
Criticizing things you don’t understand is just your opinion which can most definitely be wrong or correct.
and it is a sin to criticize and to judge so just bless those who you dont understand or like and change yourself !
God worship in any form is a sin according to the Hebrew prophets.
The TRUE HEBREW MESSIAH said we were fools if we do not believe all that the prophets have spoken. Luke 24:25
Sure hope there are no fools reading this.

Agree 101% – ‘god’ or ‘gawd’ worship is Baal worship or satan worship for he goes about with many names causing confusing in the minds of people.
We must worship only YAHWEH… Blessed be His Holy Name!!
Jes
Praise Father Yahweh for your understanding.
May I ask you a question?
Since worship means service do you serve Father Yahweh by keeping His Laws?
If so I’m sure you know the little rejected Law found in Deut. 12:5.
Should you like more information on where we are in Father Yahweh’s PLAN for mankind may I invite you by our web site?
http://www.yahweh.com
May the Spirit that inspired the Hebrew prophets and the apostles of Yahshua Messiah to write to us bless your understanding even more.
Billy
The good news is that none of this argument really matters. There is no god and churches are all lies. Worry about living your life the best you can and being the best person you can, rather than fretting over how someone else is living their life. Isn’t that much easier?
yes this is like a horror movie.. yes first off its disrispectufull to dig up these bodies and put on display.. hmmm.. glad I’m non religious and religion is going down the toilet….LOL see for what is is people!!… so absolutely disillusional and nuts….
I find it ridiculous and pathetic when people shed a light on the horrors of one religion…they also want to spread there OWN in the making…lol cant anyone see there ALL full of crap possibly?.. or atleast when something happens like this .. thre are all sorts of religious people who comment and they think this is the perfect opportunity to spread their bullcrap…
Shalom billy,
I do extensive research on the Torah in the the Hebraic perspective and one day I was blessed to find your website – you bet, I loved it!! .. I am already a subscriber but with my proper name. I might write to you sometime if I have a question or two. . Hey! I’m a soldier4Yeshua and I am all geared to fight to raise His Holy Name every time someone tries to put Him down.. In other words I choose to remain HOT for Him and Him alone rather than be vomited out … Revelation 3.16. “…because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.”
O, No, I couldn’t even fathom this.
Tonight is the night I can push all my work aside and breathe a sigh of relief to finally bury myself in the study of Torah for the next whole week … O, YHWH is sooooo good … I bless Him with my heart and soul.
Be Blessed Brother, Shabbat Shalom and Chag Samayeach!!
Shalom Jes
Great to hear you are seeking truth.
I love what Yahshua said in Luke 24:25.
The Torah is what the world needs and this evil beastly religious system hates.
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who is seeking Father Yahweh.
We will have our seder tonight would be great if you were here.
May Yahweh bless your understanding.
Billy
Billy,
Is this your organization?
http://www.raptureready.com/rap40f.html
Hebrew Roots Cults
Leading the pack is Buffalo Bill “Yisrael” Hawkins from his compound in Abilene, Texas. He has written his own bible (The book of Yahweh), teaches that he is one of the two witnesses, and adheres to the sacred name philosophy. Rick Ross is an authority on this group and has been watching them for years. His site features shocking scoop on this group and its leader. Sadly, his membership is reported to be in the tens of thousands.
———-
http://www.watchman.org/profile/yahpro.htm
Doctrine
Yisrayl Hawkins, the founder of the House of Yahweh Abilene, Texas, has built his movement on doctrinal themes which are not new to American religion. His theology is an eclectic blend of Sabbatarian, Sacred Name and Anglo-Israel teachings. His internal control over group members is classic authoritarian technique.
Critical thinking or dissent is discouraged and controlled by queating rebellion against Hawkins as being rebellion against Yahweh. He represents himself as an end-time prophet who is spoken of in the Bible. He claims his work is the only true work on earth; that all other churches are part of Satan’s last days’ deception, and those seeking God or Yahweh and salvation can only find that salvation through The House of Yahweh. If a member leaves the group, they are leaving Yahweh and his salvation.
THE TWO WITNESSES Yisrayl Hawkins boldly claims that he and his late brother are prophesied in the Bible to be the two Witnesses whose ministry is set forth in Revelation Chapter 11:
“Yahweh Himself has given this inspired Testimony to Isayah 44:5, showing exactly ‘HOW’ His Prophesied TWO WITNESSES would obtain NAMES which were not given to them at birth!…The prophecy has come to pass! One of Yahweh’s Two Witnesses ‘LEGALLY GAVE HIMSELF’ the name of ‘Yisrayl’…this Prophesied ‘WAY’ in which Yahweh’s Two Witnesses would attain their Prophesied Name, is the most outstanding ‘SIGN’ Yahweh gives that these TWO MEN are HIS TWO WITNESSES!” (The Prophetic Word, 7 June 1991, p. 6).
AUTHORITY OF CHRIST Hawkins boasts that his organization was ordained of God. He claims that his credentials and authority are equal with those of Christ:
“Yahshua Messiah KNEW that He was sent, because He FULFILLED all the Scriptures concerning Himself. And The True Work of Yahweh: Established House of Yahweh – The Place of Yahweh has chosen to Establish His Name in These Last Days – has this SAME AUTHORITY, with the SAME CREDENTIAL.”
“Yes The House of Yahweh, Established in Abilene, Texas, is SPOKEN OF and WRITTEN ABOUT by the Prophets of Old! This Established House of Yahweh in These Last Days is doing the work that Yahshua Messiah and His Disciples – who were ‘SENT’ – did; the very same work! It is a Scriptural fact that unless Yahweh gives AUTHORITY to someone, by having SPOKEN ABOUT THEM THROUGH HIS HOLY SCRIPTURES, then that person is NOT SENT!” (What Yahweh’s Feasts Mean to You, pp.82-83).
“Yes, Yahweh now has ONLY ONE WORK under His ONE REMAINING WITNESS Yisrayl – His Prophesied Spokesman who will continue to perform all The Will of Yahweh…Just as Yahshua Messiah came as a ‘covenant to the people’ in These Last Days (Isayah 49:8)” (The Prophetic Word, 7 June 1991, p. 36).
THE ONLY MESSAGE OF SALVATION Hawkins joins other self-proclaimed Apostles and Prophets -i.e., Herbert Armstrong, Jim Jones and David Koresh – who were the sole proprietors of God’s only true salvation. Hawkins initiation ritual which bestows both salvation and admittance into the group, is water baptism. He teaches:
“BAPTISM – The third step one must then take is to be Baptized by the CHOSEN MINISTERS of YAHWEH, so you may receive The Holy Spirit:…Please notice that you can NOT obtain The Holy Spirit of YAHWEH from the preachers of this world!” (Why Aren’t Your Prayers Answered Today?, p. 20).
“The One Body of Messiah IS The House of Yahweh!…The Holy Scriptires say this…We are partakers with Yahshua – IF we are part of the Body of Messiah of the House of Yahweh. In Genesis 28:11-17, the Patriarch Yaaqob saw a vision of The House of Yahweh as the way to Yahweh’s Kingdom. The House of Yahweh IS THE GAT OF HEAVEN!”
“…IF we ‘separate’ form the One Body of Messiah: The House of Yahweh, then we succumb to Satan, then at that very moment we become worshipers of Satan…of if one LEAVES The Body – The only Prophesied, Established Work that Yahweh Himself has chosen, then that one does NOT partake, or is NO LONGER a partaker, with the rest of The body of Messiah – The House of Yahweh” (What Yahweh’s Feasts Mean to You, pp. 78, 87).
EARLY PROPHECY Hawkins has claimed that his authority and credentials are founded on his fulfillment of Bible prophecy: “Yahweh then says, Through Prophecy – ‘Let these TWO WITNESSES FORETELL the things that are coming, and let them PROCLAIM that I am ONE!” (The Prophetic Word, 7 June 1991, p. 4).
“The RAIN WILL SOON BE CUT OFF AGAIN, as it was in the days of Yliyah. This time, it will not rainfor one thousand two hundred sixty days – but this soon-coming Time Period will BEGIN the LAST Seven Years of Satan’s rule upon the earth. This Seven Year Period is known as The Great Tribulation – and for the FIRST 1260 Days of this Period, there will be NO RAIN” (Ibid., p. 15).
“In the middle of this Seven Years – in the Midst of This Week, or 3 1/2 Years after this week begins, Satan Is Cast TO THE EARTH, The Last Witness is KILLED by Satan, The seed of The Two Witnesses – The Sealed remnant are delivered to Mount Zion in Yerusalem. When Satan is Cast Out of heaven, his first act is to PERSECUTE The Woman which Brings Forth The Man! Through this PERSECUTION – Satan stops the Prophesying of THE ONE WITNESS who is still alive at this time – BY KILLING HIM! It will be at this time that ‘his testimony’ will be perfectly accomplished (Revelation 11:7). However, in spite of this same persecution, ‘THIS WOMAN’ is taken to The Place of Safety!” (Ibid., p. 48).
LATER PROPHECY By late 1994 Hawkins had altered his theology and was teaching that The House of Yahweh was already in “the midst” of Tribulation: He explained: “In order to understand what time period Yahweh is referring to when He says, ‘the midst,’ we will refer to Yahshua’s Message of the End Time – the Time Period known as: The Seven Years of Tribulation…Yahshua Messiah spoke of the FIRST PART of the Seven Year Period…(Matthew 24:7). Since the time of my brother Yaaqob’s death, March 22, 1991, wars have been raging not only in Israyl, but throughout the eastern world.”…”These things: WARS, FAMINES, PESTILENCES, and EARTHQUAKES are Prophesied to take place through the FIRST HALF of the Great Tribulation. But, the end is not yet! When the first three and one half years are complete, the LAST HALF of the Great Tribulation begins. Since the Feast of Tabernacles, September 22, 1994, my brother Yaaqob, the first witness to be killed by the Beastly System, will have been dead THREE AND ONE HALF YEARS” (The Prophetic Word, November 1994, pp. 14, 16).
“The hatred taking place at this time, just as we are APPROACHING THE MIDDLE of the Seven Year Time Period known as The Great Tribulation, is strong and is being openly displayed to the point that I am being betrayed to Unrighteous Lawyers and Judges…Those who rise up against me…have turned to judges of the Gods in order to try to destroy Yahweh’s work, just as they did to Yahshua”(Ibid., p. 18).
Hawkins now claims the world is in the middle of the Great Tribulation. He has not caused the rain to stop, neither has he been slain by a beast power, nor have his followers been taken to Israel. By his own criteria he is a false prophet.
Other Doctrines
Nature of God. Hawkins denies the Triune nature of the Godhead and the pre-existence of Christ: “Those who are False Prophets and Lying teachers ‘teach’ the false doctrine tha there is a ‘trinity’ or a ‘duality’ in the (and I quote) ‘GODHEAD’. Therefore, it is also The Truth of Yahweh that Yahshua Messiah did not ‘pre-exist’!” (The Prophetic Word, 7 June 1991, p. 7).
Yahweh and Jesus. He teaches that Yahweh and Yahshua are two different “beings.” “Some of those trying to support the deception of a ‘pre-existent savior, aruge that Yahshua and Yahweh are THE ‘SAME’ BEING…The Holy Scriptures plainly show that Yahshua and Yahweh are TWO DIFFERENT BEINGS!” (Did Yahshua Messiah Pre-exist?, p. 40).
Biblical Response
Yahshua is Yahweh. In Zechariah 12:10 the Hebrew text is explicit in showing that the one speaking is Yahweh, “they shall look upon me,” and that the one speaking is the one who is the object of the action; “whom they have pierced” (See also John 19:37 and Revelation 1:7).
Compare the attributes of Yahweh with the same attributes ascribed to Yahshua in these verses: Acts 4:12; Isaiah 43:11; Hebrews 1:8; Isaiah 43:10; Revelation 1:17; 22:13; Isaiah 44:6; John 8:58; Exodus 3:14; John 1:3; Isaiah 40:28; John 1:9 and 8:12; Psalms 27:1; Joel 3:12. Yahshua is Yahweh.
The Church is Christ’s Body. The Church is a spiritual body, not a man-made organization (1 Peter 2:5). No city or organization is the mandated place of worship (John 4:20-24).
The Gospel. The gospel is not a “warning message” (Acts 2:22-24, 32-38; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 2:1-2).
Only One Mediator. Functionally, Hawkins makes himself a mediator between his followers and God (1 Timothy 2:5).

Dear okieshowedem (or Billy)
Shalom.
I have decided to spam you. Take your deceptions with you somewhere else.
May Jesus have mercy on your soul, and my soul too. Amen.
I wouldn’t read your newsletter even if it was the last manuscript on earth that survived a nuclear war. I would gladly choose beheading then to read your cult organizations trash that is on par with something Charles Manson would write under the influence of LSD.

“The controversial leader of a Texas religious group, called a “sex cult” by some former members, was arrested for a second time today on bigamy charges.
“Yisrayl Bill Hawkins, the 73-year-old founder and pastor of the House of Yahweh, was charged by the Callahan County district attorney with having multiple wives, according to a complaint filed in court.
“Texas officials said he was arrested away from his compound outside Abilene, Texas to avoid any potential violence from his followers.
According to the complaint filed against Hawkins, he has multiple wives and is listed as the father of children born to two different young women last year.
In an interview for “20/20,” Hawkins’ former wife Kay says he began to preach polygamy after he was caught having an affair with a church secretary. “He began to rewrite the Scriptures,” she said. “Any Scripture that did not go along with more than one wife was rewritten to imply that it was all right to have more than one wife.”
According to the arrest complaint, Hawkins teaches his followers to lie to law enforcement officials about the multiple marriages.

Thanks JM,
I haven’t had time to look more into billy’s website except about two articles that seemed OK but I must admit the mural of the “white buffalo” did take me a bit aback though I didn’t have time to look into that article. However, I will now, that you have so kindly provided the links.
Thanks again brother, Shabbat Shalom & Chag Samayeach!!
Unfortunately, I got sucked into listening to the guy (he was preaching some nonsense about the Two Witnesses–quite incoherent) for a bit. I skipped ahead to the part where he started talking about himself being the fulfillment of Scripture! The dirty old lecher. I’m sorry that I spent any time on it at all. 😦
I made the mistake of clicking on this page while I was eating my lunch. Yuck! I know that the RCC bends Scripture to whatever they want it to mean but one wonders if they haven’t ever read Philippians 4:8? “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” (from the NLT)
Amazing, one cult calling another cult a cult. Come on guys, there are no such things as gods or devils, And the sooner you realise this, the sooner you can start to be part of humanity. Currently you are adding nothing to the future of humankind by your continued belief in the supernatural.
Unless of course, you can actually present testable evidence for your claims about gods and such stuff. Contact any scientist and offer him your evidence for testing, he will be willing to check it out.
But a question, would you buy a house from me on faith alone? Why not? And yet you are willing to believe in gods only on faith? Something does not add up in this.
Mike,
“The message of the Cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.” (1 Cor. 1:18)
The House of Yahweh is an obvious cult and your “prophet” Yisrayl Bill Hawkins is a deceiver.
It breaks my heart.
To okieshowedem @ April 7, 2012 at 7:15 pm
….First of all if you are a true follower of YHWH, why were you on the internet at a time when you should have been getting prepared for the Yom HaBikkurim (Wave Sheaf Offering) service?
…. Secondly, I was not the one to have asked you if your Ministry was a cult but you voluntarily answered saying:
((To answer your question YES I am a member of The House Of Yahweh CULT!))
…. and then you write all that CRAP to me when you yourself is in the wrong?
… billy, okie, okieshowedem, why so many different usernames?? What the heck is going on?? It’s clear that you are an internet stalker and the best place to trap your victims is on Christian & Messianic websites. Seriously, billy, Buffalo, Israyl (Hawkins) or whatever your name is, I have read enough to know who you really are. An ex-policeman fired for drinking while on duty?? And at 73 years of age having many wives … and having fathered two babies thru two young women aged 19 & 20?? And what about the 11 year old girl you used a vaginal speculum to test if she had cervical cancer before you had sex with her. You are a SICKO! You are old enough to be their grandfather or great-grand-father – but it’s the lust of the devil that is driving you into it. And you call yourself a ‘true jew’ and preach about Yahweh at the same time indulging in this filth?? Like the Pharisees you are filled with CHAMETZ (leaven) of WICKEDNESS, filled with LAWLESSNESS – OMG! You are a slithering serpent just like the one in the ‘Garden of Eden’ that BEGUILED Eve – You are the Beelzabub, the “lord of demon flies, a liar and one of the demon princes of hell” ….. what a Scumbag!!
…. Yeshua’s words are so alive today for He did say :
– See to it that no one misleads you….. (Mark 13:5-6)
– Matthew 24-10 many will abandon the faith and betray the brethren…
– 11 many false teachers and prophets will appear and deceive many….
– 12 Because of LAWLESSNESS the love of many will grow cold…
Think carefully, all those scriptures relate to you & there are many many more.
…. Like JM said, I would also rather have my neck cut off for Yeshua than succumb to your blasphemous way of life and be thrown like the chaff of the darnel in the lake of fire with you.
…. My heart is for Yeshua and Him alone and he does give me “discernment” or at other times sends me help and protection thru other brothers & sisters who follow Him in righteousness and truth, and this time it was JM to my rescue. Not that I would have fallen for your ‘CRAP’ but it might have taken me longer before I scanned thru your website and know how deceptive you are.
With all the publicity about you being in jail etc.. all over the internet and perhaps in the American media, and I believe this is going on since 1991, you should have been ashamed of yourself and kept a low profile, maybe even cover your face due to the shame while moving in public places, instead you have the audacity to prowl around websites in order to snatch your prey.
….The rabbi of our congregation preached yesterday about the temptation of Yeshua on the mountain. He said the devil knows the scriptures so well that he twists them like a rope to deceive people – This teaching in the sermon couldn’t have come from him at a better time than this – for YOU, Hawkins, are doing exactly what HaSatan your father is doing.
Yeshua said to HaSatan, “Again it is written: ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.'” Matthew 4:7
Then Yeshua said to him, “Get behind me, Hasatan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.'” Matthew 4:10
…. Lastly, just as Yeshua had sternly replied to Hasatan, I say to you that I am a staunch follower of Yeshua and therefore, I command you Bill Buffalo Hawkins, to get away from me for good and from those you are seeking on this site. May YHWH deal with you according to your EVIL works.
Dear Jes.
Shalom, and still happy feast.
Please do not get triggered by false teachers. It is our duty to try to win them over from darkness, and into the light.
I have not been very active with the spam button lately. But I will spam outright Blasphemy against the truth. The House Of Yahweh is a cult, among many. Their members will not be permitted to defame true followers of the Messiah on this site.
I like to worship my Father in Heaven. He is God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. I do not know who this “YaHuWaH” is. I can not read Hebrew, and not utter this kind of linguistic complex words. Please let me worship my Father God in Heaven in peace form this kind of fruitless non sense.
I do know the Messiah, the price of peace. But I do not know “Yahusha”. Please let me call on Him in Norwegian. I know that the Messiah understand Norwegian too. Please do not reduce God, and try to put in inside a bottle. Do not let the Messianic faith become a world championship in correct prononciation of Hebrew words, spoken by 0,2 per cent of the Worlds population.
Shalom Ivar,
(((You say: Please do not get triggered by false teachers. It is our duty to try to win them over from darkness, and into the light…)))
…. Ivar, are you kidding me? If you are trying to win this cultist (Hawkins) to the Light, who has been in this wickedness since the 1950’s, – then would you try to win the pope and his associates to the Light?? – Ha!! What a joke! Why do you write about Catholicism then, you should be at the Vatican to evangelize to the hope and all his subjects. It’s amazing how you support the wicked sometimes.
…. Anyways, Re. the name of the Almighty – I wish to use the sacred name YAHWEH and other times the abbreviation of YHWH because the scriptures clearly say that the Creator does not want to be called ‘god’ ‘lord’ and other pagan names, for these are the names of Baal even if they are written in capitals it does not pay homage to the Holy One. Some Jews say YaHuWaH (showing the importance of the Hebrew letters YHWH). You would have to do a separate Hebraic study on that to know the exact meaning of it. Then the Son’s name is pronounced Yeshua, which is more appropriate than saying ‘Jesus’ for it is a Hebrew name – Yeshua means Salvation or one who Saves – Some write/say Yahshua or Yahoshua, it’s still better than saying ‘Jesus’ – Think about it Ivar, if I called you ‘Shakespeare’ or ‘Robin Hood’ would you like it? – anyways, for more info read here: http://jesusisajew.org/YESHUA.php – Check some of the scriptures below for your info on what YHWH wants from us re. His name.
Ex 23:13- Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard from your mouth.
Josh 23:7-Don’t get mixed up with the nations left in your territory. Don’t ever mention the names of their gods or swear an oath to them. Don’t ever serve their gods or bow down to them.
Deut .12:3-Tear down their altars, crush their sacred stones, burn their poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah, cut down their idols, and wipe out the names of their gods from those places.
Deut.18:20; But any prophet who dares to say something in my name that I didn’t command him to say or who speaks in the name of other gods MUST DIE.” ((Whoa!! this is harsh.))
Hos 2:16-17)-And it shall be at that day saith Yahweh that thou shalt call me Ishi(Husband) and shalt call me no more Ba’li. 17-For I will take away the names of Ba’alim out of her mouth and they shall no more be remembered by their name (YHWH says to stop calling Him Ba’al. Stop calling Him Lord! It is evident that He desires a personal relationship with us–one where we are free to call Him by His Name or the possessive title, Husband–rather than a business relationship, where we must call Him Sir or Lord.)
Paul says there are gods many and lords many (I Corinthians 8:5). ((I bet even Paul called the Creator YAHWEH))
While in exile in Babylon, gradually, Israel forgot the Creator’s name and started calling Him lord, god, and other pagan names – Jeremiah 23:26-27. Ba’al means Lord in Hebrew.
However, the EliYahu (Elijah) message is again sounding. “How long halt ye between two opinions? If YHWH be Supreme, follow Him: but if Ba’al, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Read the rest here: http://wwfar.com/mp3s/CrossTheBorder/name/the-name.pdf
…. Lastly, – you say: ((Please let me worship my Father God in Heaven in peace form this kind of fruitless non sense.))
…. Ivar, the name of the Almighty YAHWEH is fruitless nonsense to you? Why just because of how Hawkins has twisted everything? That man is going to hell – Ivar, be careful of what you are saying for the name YAHWEH is very, very Holy not to be messed around with. If you want to pray to the Almighty in Norwegian you are free to do so but when you know the truth you have to follow the truth – no excuse!!
By the way I am not Christian neither am I Messianic I have experienced both the latter being more dangerous than the former. I just follow TORAH!! NO badges, no boards on me!!
Dear Jes.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
I am sad to see, that in your mind 0,002 per cent of the People on Earth will be saved. That makes Jesus the Messiah the biggest failure in the history of man. An impotent, not readable nor understandable “god”, who died for the sins of mankind in vain.
What non sense, and what a shame.
I am sick and tired of all this Hebrew sectarian no sense.
Jesus the Messiah is the savior of the World. He is King Messiah for all Norwegians who can not read a single word of Hebrew, and absolutely not want to compete in this non sense competition of yours, trying to pronounce Hebrew words correctly. What a shame, what an spiritual insanity.
You mock people of all nations, who have found the Messiah. Who love Him, and worship Him in spirit and in truth. You mock all who pray to Him in Norwegian, Spanish, and all languages on Earth. Your “god” in like a gene in a bottle. He never escaped from behind the Temple Curtain, and never entered the heart of any other human being, than the 0,0002 per cent of the people who believe in some kind of sectarian cult Hebrew root “god”.
You are still under the law, but a cult law. Your “god” can only accept the rituals you have made in your law. The other cult fellows are not included in your plan of salvation, you simply ex-communicate. You ex-communicate each other, using different prononciation of Hebrew words.
I do not want to have anything to do with this.
Man is saved by faith, alone.
In Jesus, alone.
Saved by His blood, alone.
Man is saved by grace, alone.
My Father God in Heaven is God of Abraham, Isaak and Jacob.
Amen.
Dear all readers.
Shalom, and love in Jesus the Messiah.
Lately, a lot of deception has been presented as truth in the comment field. I will request you to use better discernment in regards to what kind of spiritual truth Jesus the Messiah represent.
WATCH OUT, so no one deceives you.
It is my responsibility, that people will not be misguided on this site. Therefor I will not permit pure blasphemy against the blood of the Lamb. Jesus the Messiah died for the sins of all mankind. People who try to publish Papal booklets on this site will quickly be spammed. In the same manner those who present links to the Hebrew Root movement, will have to find them selves other websites.
I will not permit readers to publish links to sites of cults and sectarian movements, that leads people to the fire of Hell. Links shall honor the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth.
Dear all readers.
Shalom.
I will go through the comment fields, and remove deception in the form of links towards anti-Christian websites.
Please forgive me, If I remove some links that should not have been removed.
There will be a new set of rules on News That Matters:
1. Jew-hate will not be permitted. Neither filthy language.
2. Booklet’s, or long comments will be spammed. Please write short messages, and let them be related to the concerned topic in the published article.
3. Please do not publish links to other websites. All comments with links will be kept in the spam filter, to some of us in the News that Matters team have looked at the link, rejected them or accepted them. There will therefor be a delay before such links are published.
4. Let the debate be around the Word of God. Use scriptures to convince non Believers, or use examples from your own life.
5. On this website the Messiah Jesus of Nazareth shall be honored. Those who mock Him, will see that their comments will be deleted.
Dear Jes,
I agree with Ivar. By your posts, I’m not sure where you are coming from and what you believe. You claim to be a follower of Yeshua, but is He just Savior or is He Savior and Lord? Are you part of a Hebrew Roots movement that has denied all the teachings of the Apostle Paul?
You seem to constantly put yourself back under the Old Testament law and this puts you in grave danger. There is nothing you can do as far as performing rituals and keeping laws to earn or keep your salvation. Further, there is no correct “name” for God that will earn you a higher status if you use it.
Our relationship with Yeshua is personal and intimate. John 10:3 says, “the sheep hear His voice, and He calls His own sheep by name.”
Jesus has revealed Himself by many names in His Word. Those who love Him and know Him as Savior and Lord can call upon him intimately using many names: God, Heavenly Father, Jesus, Papa, Wonderful, Counselor, Shepherd, Everlasting God, Jehovah, Yahweh, Jehovah Shalom, etc.
To say that He can only be called upon by one Hebrew name is pure legalism and marginalizes Christ. You will not be saved under this “gospel” Jes. This is a very serious offense and one that must be rectified. Galatians 2:21 says, “I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”
No one is saying that the laws and rituals you follow are not Biblically true. The point is, they are not binding anymore. If they are still required, then Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection were not sufficient.
“How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?” (Heb. 10:29).
Paul said in Galatians 5:1-6, stand in the liberty by which Christ has made us FREE, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
“Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
“Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
“You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
“For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.
“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”
The Apostle Peter had a great summary (in 2 Peter 2) of the kind of “leadership” such cult leaders provide:
“But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves. Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered. In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed.
For God did not spare even the angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, in gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment.
And God did not spare the ancient world—except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood. Later, God condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and turned them into heaps of ashes. He made them an example of what will happen to ungodly people. But God also rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a righteous man who was sick of the shameful immorality of the wicked people around him. Yes, Lot was a righteous man who was tormented in his soul by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day. So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment. He is especially hard on those who follow their own twisted sexual desire, and who despise authority…”
And it goes on in a similar vein.
p.s. I was also quite put off by the white bull mural, Jes. I guess he uses that as a symbol for himself. Considering his sexual proclivities, a billy goat might have been a more apt choice.
Ellen, you are absolutely right on all you’ve mentioned and I also agree that a (billy) goat might have been a more apt choice but the he chose the ‘buffalo’ (or bull) – a god of gold that was made for worship by those wicked Israelites and gentiles for their own pleasures. Here’s some excerpts from an article on the ‘golden calf’
::: (( It will be argued that Israel’s worship of the Golden Calf reflects a telescoping, fusion, and re-interpretation or transformation of various concepts and motifs regarding bull calves found in the religious beliefs of Egypt, Canaan, and Mesopotamia. The myths of each region are investigated in order to identify the “historical kernels,” attested by archaeology, which came to be transformed into the Bible’s “Golden Calf incident at Mount Sinai” as well as accounting for why the Israelite king, Jeroboam, set up of Golden Calves for his people to worship at Dan and Bethel. ….
::: I have established that the ONLY god specifically called a “GOLDEN CALF” by the ancient Egyptians in their writings is Pharaoh in the Old Kingdom Pyramid Texts (these texts exist into later New Kingdom times in reworked formats). In these texts Pharaoh calls himself a “Golden Calf,” born of heaven, who wishes to be allowed to board the sacred solar bark or boat which carries the Sun god each day across the heavens.
:::: Pharaoh was called “Son of the Sun” and in New Kingdom times “the Sun,” in letters from Canaanite princes addressed to Pharaoh Akhenaten (reigned ca. 1350-1334 BCE). … http://www.bibleorigins.net/EgyptianOriginsGoldenCalf.html
http://www.prophecyinthenews.com/the-mystery-of-the-golden-calf/ ))
Bottom line I think the Buffalo mural is a sexual perversion combined with the cult.
Hi Jes,
I read a bit on the two linked pages that you cited. The only problem I had with the first one is that it is from a website called, “Why the Bible Can’t Be the Word of God”. You might want to be careful of websites that have “scholars” insisting one thing or another based on modern “scholarship”. There has been a lot of this type of “scholarship” in the past 200 years and it amounts to a concerted attack against the traditional orthodox beliefs of the faith. Their assertions often prove to be false after further work (archeological and textual) determines that yes, indeed the traditional orthodox belief is correct. Satan has ALWAYS attacked the word of God. He insinuates much with his, “Did Yahweh really say?” He can lead humans into unbelief if he can get them to doubt the word. It was that way in the Garden and it will always be that way until Messiah Yeshua comes to rule and reign.
Ellen
Re. Response to Ivar above –
SHOULD READ:: you should be at the Vatican to evangelize to the POPE and all his subjects. (Not ‘hope’)
Thanks Ivar,
That should help clear up much of the confusion.
In Messiah Yeshua,
Ellen
Dear Ellen.
Shalom.
Jesus and Yeshua is one and the same. For all who honor God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This is a central doctrine on News That Matters. Jesus only, or Yeshua only are sects and cults. I praise my Father in Heaven who listen to prayers in all languages.
Yes, I know that Ivar. I use the names interchangeably. When I am witnessing to Jewish people (or those who are into the Jewish roots of our faith) I use the term Messiah Yeshua so as not to upset Jewish sensibilities. Just as I likely would not make much reference to the Cross as that was the symbol under which so many Jews were persecuted. When I am witnessing to conventional Gentile believers, I would typically use Jesus and/or Christ. I think Jesus would have us have that kind of flexibility, don’t you?
Good post, JM.
Dear JM,
If I am following the Old Covenant(OT) it is not by doing rituals of lambs, goats, bulls or chickens that I am following – they are the 7 feasts commanded by the Almighty that HE NEVER made obsolete but the Christians have made them obsolete for their satisfaction saying “the OT is for the Jews only”. The seven feasts are extremely important for they are the shadows of what is to come (I’m sure you know that). There were 613 commandments based on the 10 commandments, the 10 commandments are very important to us though the 613 were divided accordingly among the people, though a few still apply for our own good – I won’t go into details here to cause further hatred in Ivar. Please do your own research.
Re. Hebrew I never knew a word of it but I made an effort to learn since the past 17 years in order to get an in depth understanding of the WORD and I’m so glad I did because I see it as the most beautiful and intriguing language I have ever known and which has given me immense insight to YHWH’s Word.
Lastly, if you agree with Ivar that’s fine with me you are free to do what you wish, but he is the one who has caused all this confusion by his lack of understanding of English and by using others comments too, to bash me. That is viciousness coming from a so-called “Christian Preacher” what a farce!! However, I’m glad you wrote because I want to thank you for your good advice and to say a final GOODBYE for I will never be on this blog anymore after this comment, so please do not respond. Ivar is a Lutheran, this blog is a CULT. LUTHERANISM is a CULT. Read my response to him, I don’t want to repeat those things here. Any religion started by man is a cult. TORAH is the WORD of the ALMIGHTY and a sign on those who follow it. Yeshua said follow me!! I don’t know if you are a Jew – if you are not not check out the meaning of TORAH for yourself. IT IS NOT LEGALISM !!
Shalom and Blessings in Yeshua
Ivar,
….. You have freaked out on me just for writing some Hebrew words that you don’t understand and which were meant for Hawkins because he understands it. Your comments are absolutely muddled, you don’t even know how to respond. Even something that I wrote as an expression, you took it literally and made a mountain out of a molehill of it. If you were a true follower of Yeshua, you would not have poured out your anger and venom on me. No one can ever tell you that you are wrong “because Ivar is always right”! What a HYPOCRITE, you are like the Pharisees of evil leaven!! Exactly what CULTIST do.
….. I understand your lack of fluency in written English but your understanding of the English language is totally absurd because you read one thing and understand something else – practically everything I write, and what I write is always Scripture based … but instead of verifying what is written you always bring the hammer down on me. I have noticed you have done this a lot of times even in the past when I have not even written anything wrong. However, you did not have the guts to confront Hawkins a pedophile, & a cultist and on top of that you greet him like a long-lost-friend by saying “Shalom”. It is so ironic that you are using the HEBREW word “SHALOM” without even knowing its true meaning and detesting the Hebrew language and the Hebrew Names of the Almighty & His Son by saying they are “FRUITLESS NONSENSE”. Do I have to tell you that calling the names of the Creator FRUITLESS NONSENSE is blasphemy?
THE LUTHERANISM IS A CULT:
…. Just as Martin Luther hated the Jews – You hate the Jews, the Hebrew language and the Sacred names of the Almighty and his sacred TORAH. That’s because you want to promote your false religion. What are you trying to achieve by this? To meet your leader in hell? – This kind of work is an assignment from the devil himself.
…. The Savior Yeshua(Jesus) said; “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me”. (John 10:27)– but you choose to follow the wolf. You think you and your CULT religion is the perfect one? Until now, I had not realized that (LUTHERANISM) is a CULT just like Seventh Day Adventist, Jehovah’s Witness, Mormonism & more all these cults were started either by a man or woman. So why are you criticizing other religions like Catholicism, Hinduism, Judaism etc.? First take the log out of your eye and then the splinters of the others eyes …does this sound familiar to you?? Luke 6: 41-42
You are so much like your VILE, hate filled religious leader “Martin Luther”. Have you forgotten the highly offensive language that he used against the Jews in one of his books.
:::: ((In 1543 Luther published On the Jews and Their Lies in which he says that the Jews are a “base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth.”[13] They are full of the “devil’s feces … which they wallow in like swine.”[14] The synagogue was a “defiled bride, yes, an incorrigible whore and an evil slut …”[15] He argues that their synagogues and schools be set on fire, their prayer books destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, homes razed, and property and money confiscated. They should be shown no mercy or kindness,[16] afforded no legal protection,[17] and these “poisonous envenomed worms” should be drafted into forced labor or expelled for all time.[18] He also seems to advocate their murder, writing “[w]e are at fault in not slaying them”.[19] ….. wikipedia)) …. This and tons of other very nasty things… check it out for yourselves.
I want nothing to do with you or your website anymore hence I’m cutting off from your site for good. Don’t even bother responding to my comment for I won’t be reading it. I’m cleaning out every newsletter I have ever received from you. Don’t even bother to email me, I will spam it … I DON’T TRUST YOU ANYMORE. May Yeshua Messiah, the Great King and Judge deal with you accordingly.
Dear Jes.
Shalom, and love in Jesus the Messiah.
I do not know if you will read this, but I am thankful for all the blessings I have received from you for the articles published on this blog. I am sad that you have changed your mind.
I hope and pray, that you will be willing to come to the cross at Calvary, and lay down your life for King Jesus the Messiah. I have been blessed to know Him as Yeshua your Messiah.
I pray that you will embrace the New Covenant, and be saved. Saved by the blood of the Lamb of God.
There are many hundred million Christians in the World, who love the Jewish Messiah and who love the Jewish people. We will forever stand with Israel in her time of trouble.
May Jesus bless you, and keep you safe from all kinds of deceptions. Amen.
Jesus summed up this lot perfectly ‘ WHITEWASHED SEPULCHURES FULL OF DEAD MENS BONES’ This is the RC church and many will no doubt defend this practice. I once read that every single RC church building is required to have a relic in the foundations, not sure if that bit is actually true but all this bone and corpse stuff is naughty.
I was born in Italy a catholic all the way, finished all the sacrament, required to pre marriage, then I began reading the bible, and many teaching of the vatican were not matching with scriptures.
when I asked the priestly authority they gave men reasoning and not biblical, that I should accept because their wisdom was higher than mine. I refused to accept illogical reasons and began my quest for truth.
I have not stopped since that first experience 27 years ago, to dig and find who is really the vatican. I have come to this realization in which 95% of the simple catholics are not remotely aware .
the vatican is a Lucifer worshipper and hides it true truth from its members, similar with the case Jon Jones which hid the true content in the grape juice, and caused a mass killing of his followers.
the same is about to repeat and you and I can not do nothing to stop it. the only salvation is to accept the true King of King Yehoshua ( Jesus), and refuse the Vatican and their pagan gods, and celebrations.
Even if we die, they kill only the body, our soul will be justified and will endure in eternity with our Creator.
The instrument of death today are way more powerful and billions will die. world war three is at the door and the vatican is leading this in secret as has done before.
The harlot drunk with the blood of the saints is not stopping. history is about to repeat itself, people have forgotten the vatican killing from Caesar, crusades, inquisition, civil wars, ottoman wars, 1, 2 word war.
There has not been any war where the vatican has not conceived to cause death and destruction and change the game to reach the goal of a New world Order.
If you would like to document on these claim read the story of Alberto Rivera ex Jesuit priest. he also gives many others references to look if it is not clear to you.
May the Holly Spirit of YHVH guide you in all the truth.
I love my fellow catholics brothers and sisters included, I oppose the Evil and Deception of their leaders.
Hi Nino,
My husband is Italian-American and he was raised in the RCC. He became a Christian from hearing the Gospel readings on Sunday morning and reading it for himself later on, during his elementary school years. When he was a young man, he decided that he must leave the RCC as there was much teaching there that was at variance to the Bible. He has never regretted that decision and continues to pray for his Catholic relatives. The superstition early conditioning among many Catholics is difficult to overcome. I have RCC cousins whom I dearly love but they are unlikely to ever leave. I do know that they seem to be “born again” and I hope that they are saved. I know that my husband was saved while he was still in the RCC. I hope that is the case for many. What I have heard from many former Catholics is that once a Catholic becomes saved, it becomes more and more difficult to stay in the RCC—especially if one knows anything at all about what goes on in the Vatican and Roman Curia.
I always enjoy being edified by your work Ivar. The pictures in this article make the 1960 horror movie Psycho look normal….
Jesus Christ, the One who died on the cross for our sins is our one and only Mediator to His Father in Heaven!!!!
I hardly know where to start in response to this ignorant, anti-Catholic rant. There is so much distortion and disregard for history and truth here that It would take a very long article to shoot down all the lies contained in it. I will pray that the Holy Spirit will enlighten Ivar.
What the Bible says about dead bodies:
Leviticus 21:10 ~ “The high priest…must not enter a place where there is a dead body. He must not make himself unclean, even for his father or mother,”
Numbers 19:11-13 ~ “Whoever touches the dead body of anyone will be unclean for seven days. He must purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third and seventh days, he will not be clean. Whoever touches the dead body of anyone and fails to purify himself defiles the LORD’s tabernacle. That person must be cut off from Israel. Because the water of cleansing has not been sprinkled on him, he is unclean; his uncleanness remains on him. This is the law that applies when a person dies in a tent: Anyone who enters the tent and anyone who is in it will be unclean for seven days”
Haggai 2:13 ~ “Then Haggai said, “If a person defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, does it become defiled?” “Yes,” the priests replied, “it becomes defiled.””
Leviticus 21:1-4 ~ “The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: ‘A priest must not make himself ceremonially unclean for any of his people who die, except for a close relative, such as his mother or father, his son or daughter, his brother, or an unmarried sister who is dependent on him since she has no husband–for her he may make himself unclean. He must not make himself unclean for people related to him by marriage, and so defile himself.”
Numbers 6:11 ~ “The priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for him because he sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. That same day he is to consecrate his head.”
Clearly, they are not to be adored.

The saddest thing is that ALL of Christianity came from and out of the Catholic religion. They all have the same God and the same Jesus whom they call the Christ.
According to the Hebrew prophets the Christ of the Christian religion is the AntiMessiah that all the prophets and apostles of the real Hebrew Messiah warned us was coming.
The apostles said that the spirit of this AntiMessiah was at work in their day.
You can read this in 1 Yahchan 4:And 2532 every 3956 spirit 4151 that 3739 confesseth 3670 not 3361 that Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 is come 2064 in 1722 the flesh 4561 is 2076 not 3756 of 1537 God 2316: and 2532 this 5124 is 2076 that [spirit] of antichrist 500, whereof 3739 ye have heard 191 that 3754 it should come 2064; and even 2532 now 3568 already 2235 is it 2076 in 1722 the world 2889.
Now here is the truth from a very close translation of what the Hebrew really says
This great apostles Name was YAHCHANAN which means Yahweh’s Is Merciful in the Hebrew Language…see why the changed his Name?
1 Yahchanan ( John ) 4:1-Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, to see whether they are of Yahweh; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you will know the Spirit of Yahweh: Every spirit that confesses that Yahshua Messiah started in the flesh is of Yahweh, 3 And every spirit that does not confess that Yahshua Messiah started in the flesh is not of Yahweh. So this is the spirit of the Anti-Messiah which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 4 You are of Yahweh, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is He Who is in you, than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world; therefore, they speak of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of Yahweh. He who knows Yahweh, hears us; he who is not of Yahweh, does not hear us. By these we can know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
From The Book of Yahweh,
May the same Spirit that inspired the prophets and apostle to write to us and warn us of these days you and I are living in bless your understanding.

The veneration (not worship) of relics, be they bits of bone or entire bodies – goes back to the early church, and it’s Scriptural. In 2 Kings 13:21, we read that a body, being buried by Israelites, was thrown into a cave where it touched the BONES of St. Elisha, and that the dead man was restored to life. The bones had no power of their own, but God worked a miracle THROUGH them. Who then are you to mock this, and ridicule the ancient custom of honoring the relics of saints? Who are you to deny God the ability to work miracles in any way He chooses? When Christians venerate relics, they are in fact acknowledging the saving power of Christ and God, and the possibility of miracles, which God can work through ANY aspect of HIS CREATION that HE chooses.
Dear Nick.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
The bones of a Jew named Elisha was not cut into pieces, and sold by the priests. Neither did they take his skull with them, and displayed the skull in their Synagogues.
The Roman Catholic Church is the skull and bone socielty, the modern temple of Dagon. Your priests are the wicked worshipers of skulls, corpses and bones.
