Nine reasons for why no true follower of Jesus can accept the head of the Vatican.

To find out who is a Christian, you need to follow the instruction of Jesus the Messiah. He warned us that it is not enough to listen to what people say about Him. But examine if they do what He has told them to do. Not setting His commands a side for human made philosophy and doctrines. But rather being willing to obey His commands.
By their fruits, we can recognize who is a follower of Jesus the Messiah.
Matthew: 7:15-16.
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them.
We have to be able to use sound judgment to identify a false teacher. To discern a copy from the real. If we do not, we will be led astray into deception.
When we have identified a false teacher, we have to issue a stern warning against him.
It is not enough to claim you are doing the works of Jesus, and to frequently talk about him. You also have to be able to explain who He is, and His gift of salvation. What we say and what we do have to be Biblical.
The Roman Catholic Church is not a Biblical Church. Neither what the priesthood of Rome say, nor what they do is scriptural. The Vatican present to us a copy of the Messiah, a false Christ. And the fruits of such religiosity will surely be bad. Very bad.
A bad tree can simply not bear good fruits. A bad tree will bear bad fruits, and be cut off and thrown in the fire.
Matthew 7:18
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
Let me give you seven examples of the bad fruits of Rome, so that you are able to reject the religion the Pope has invented.
1.The worldly king:

The Pope acts like a wordily king. He is the head of a state, and he claim he is infallible. With his diplomatic immunity, no national domestic court can put him for trial. Neither can anyone inside the Vatican state challenge the Pope. He is the highest judge. Despite this totalitarian set up in Rome, more than 160 nations hail the Papacy. They have established embassies at the court of the “Holy see”, and wine and dine with the Bishop of Rome.
Read more about the ambassadors hailing the Pope in the Vatican.
John 18:36
Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world.
The Pope live in the radical opposite way of how the Messiah has called us to live. Jesus did not seek acknowledgment from the leaders of the World, since they are subjects of the prince of this World.
Matthew 11:8
If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces.
The Messiah never lived in palaces. He said “my kingdom is not of this world“. The Popes kingdom is nothing but a kingdom of the world.
2.Worship of skulls and corpses:

Most of he leaders of the World are Order Brothers of freemasonry, and are serving Satan. They are honoring death. No doubt that this kind of worship has its epic center in Rome.
Matthew 23:27
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.
The trans-national Roman Catholic worship of skulls, corpses and bones are exposed in more than 50 reports on this blogg.
3. Kissing and worshipping idols:

The Pope is a worshipper of idols. He bow before stone and wood, and call all his subjects to do the same.
In this pucture, the Pope bow before and kiss an idol of the claimed patroness of BBrazil, “Our Lady of Aparecida”. A clear cut violation of the first and second commandment.
Exodus 20:5
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.
4. Sex abuse of children and youth:
Another bad fruit, is the massive sex abuse of children done by Roman Catholic priests and bishops.
After these crimes of pedophilia has been committed, the clergy plan and excecute massive cover ups to save their fellow priests.
Many children are denied justice, because the papacy has hidden their abusers in the Vatican, the head quarter of the untouchable priesthood. The Pope operate a mafia style syndicate, that gets its perfect protection through appearing like a religious community. Read the files of the sex crimes
5. Kissing the Koran:

The Pope follow a “Christ” who permits him to kiss the Koran. A book that claims that Jesus the Messiah is not God, but only a prophet. A book that claims that the Jewish people has no rights to Zion, but rather the followers of Muhammad.
The Ten Commandments
And God spoke all these words:
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
“You shall have no other gods before me.
No Muslims were taken out of Egypt.
6. Prayer towards Mecca:

When the Pope accepts the Muslims as a part of God’s plan for salvation, he will obviously have no problem to indulge with Muslims. And together with Imama’s, he will bow and pray towards Mecca.
A Christian will never do such a wicked thing, but rather preach the gospel to the Muslims, and call them to repentance from their sins and idolatry.
Matthew 23:33
“You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?
How is it posisble, that the Pope who claim to know “Christ”, accepts Islam?
You might be surprised that it is a part of the official Church doctrine to accept the Muslims as children of God:
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC 841]
“The Church’s relationship with the Muslims. The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day.”

7. Supporting Fascism:
One of the really bad fruits of Catholicism, is their Pope and cardinals support for Fascism.
This display the Pope’s totalitarian attitude towards both faith and politics.
To be able to become the religious head of the World, the claimed “Holy Father” and “Vicar of Christ”, the Pope need to enter into alliances with the political totalitarian forces. His best bid prior to World War II was to enter into alliances with both Mussolini and Hitler. This kind of bad company led the world into one of its worst disasters. 60 million people perish because of the work of the Fascist-Vatican nexus.
Read about how the Vatican statehood in 1929 was gifted the Pope by Benito Mussolini.
8. The use of witchcraft.

The last Pope kissed the container of blood taped by the late Pope John Paul II. To tap blood of a mortal human being and use it for religious purposes, is nothing but witchcraft.
This kind of blaphemy against the blood of Jesus the Messiah must never be accpeted as anything but satanism. Those who claim they are Satanists use the blood of chickens, an other mortal being of God’s creation. To use the name of “Christ” to perform witchcraft is the ultimate deception that is thrown upon a man.
9. Support for the Hamas and Jihadism:

The Pope has accepted the rule of the Hamas in Gaza, by his recognition of the state of Palestine.
In 1964, the Pope entered “proper Israel” through the fields of Armageddon, as a sign that the Zionist state has to go.
The Pope and the Hamas share the same anti-Zionist ideology.
2 Peter 2:1
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
Do not participate in the evils of the Pope. Even if he appears in white robes, and give sweet flatters to world leaders. Do not believe he is a man of God, even when he quote from the Bible.
Even Satan quoted from the Bible, in the bid to decieve Jesus the Messiah.
Renounce the wickedness of Catholicism, and repent. Ask Jesus the Messiah for forgiveness. Do never again accept the claimed authority of the Pope. But surrender to the authority of the Messiah.
Be wise. Today is the day to be saved.

Obama will not finish his second term! Banned independent documentary reveals the truth. This will scare millions! Current Events Linked to Ancient Biblical Prophecy!
I started viewing the video and had to Stop it, because Babylon is Mystery Babylon, Spiritual Babylon.
She is the Harlot(Unfaithful) of Abominations of the Earth- Revelation 17!
She is located in Rome, the City On Seven Hills, and She is a Church(Woman)….who would that be? Rising from the Roman Empire? ( See Daniel 7 ) Little Horn 7:8
Answer: Peter’s code name for Rome = Babylon
“Roman Catholic Church” = 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Sitting at the Throne of God pretending to be God!
The Believer Is The TEMPLE OF GOD! When Christ was CRUSIFIED, the Veil of the Temple was torn. We can now access God through His Son(Christ)! No need for a Priest, we NOW have a HIGHPRIEST( Christ Jesus )! Our Sin was Paid by His Precious Blood on the Cross, at Calvary! Amen
When Christ returns, Babylon will Fall:
So Come Out Her and Be not Partakers in her Sins and Not Recieve her Plagues!
One other thought you might like to add Ivar in regard to the Quran is the wicked denial of Jesus death. It wasn’t someone else who died in Jesus place. To believe what the Quran says is to call Moses and all the prophets liars, and also to call Jesus a liar, because he told his disciples HE was going to die and rise again. This is the most wicked deception of all in the Quran. The Bible and the Quran can’t both be true. I choose to believe the true and most merciful and compassionate God of the Bible! I also set myself in opposition to Anti-Messiah of Rome, I agree no true believer can do otherwise.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC 841]
“The Church’s relationship with the Muslims. The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day.”
Subtly edging Jesus out of the way with the God is One conundrum. One God, One creator also known as the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But the truth is that Jesus is the only Mercy God has offered us, that all who believe in him shall be saved. To worship the Father and not the Son brings the judgement they seek, as we are all sinners judgement can only bring condemnation.
This line clearly shows me God the Father and Jesus the Son are not One in the literal sense.
1 Cor 15:27 For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.
You know ISLAM substitutes Ischmeil for Isaac ! The Creator is not the same g o d as Allah! Allah is a pre-Islamic g o d of Bale! Abrahams covenant with God continued with Isaac, Jacob(Israrl)!
Excellent job, Ivar. I hope and pray that Roman Catholics will absorb these truths and leave that “church” before it is too late.
What are your thoughts, on RCC being “Mystery Babylon”?
So sad, seeing my family involved, with such a “SYSTEM!”
Reblogged this on Spiritual Abuse Sanctuary.
the jesus of islam says they he has no son. but my bible says in JOHN< the father and I are one… one time I asked a person like a mormon. what do you think of when the bible says HE IS COMING?? and I asked will it be the Father or the Son..do you think about which one will come sic…. Yeshua is G-d came in the flesh..LIKE G-d says….I Am G-d and you Lord
Amen!!! I agree 100%
The Lord has called me to expose the Papacy as well on You Tube, Facebook, etc… Continue the good work of the Lord and allow the Spirit to teach you and reveal what you need to know to be a “watchman on the wall” in this time!
And remember, the changing of ‘times and laws’ as warned against in Daniel 7:25 is referring to the Sabbath Commandment, the 4th. His seal is His Holy Day, this is how we know Him (Ex 31). It, like all the Commandments, last forever (Ps 119)!
Keep the Day of the Lord Holy, keep the 7th Day!
Sunday is pope day: catholic encyclopedia, vol 4, page 153.
God said to keep Sabbath Holy, pope says ‘no, honor the day of the sun (not Son)’.
Maranatha!
All I can say is Baal Hadad!
Too bad, the typical RC has Not a clue!
PROPHET JESUS
PROPHET JESUS OF GALILEE & THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM
Undergirding the theory that it was the cheating money-changers whom Jesus targeted as the culprits in the system of animal sacrifice, is the claim that the whole process had become “too commercial.”
This is akin to claiming that the institution of slavery had to be dismantled because it had become too commercial. Although both Temple sacrifices and human slavery had a firm economic foundation, it was the inherent immorality of those systems that brought together the historical forces which finally led to their collapse.
Several hundred years after prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, and Hosea had denounced the sacrificial slaughter of animals, Jesus carried out what is euphemistically called the Cleansing of the Temple. It was just before Passover and he disrupted the buying and selling of animals that were being purchased for slaughter. And because Christian scholars and religious leaders continue to ignore biblical denunciations of that bloody worship, they also try to obscure the reason for Jesus’ assault on the system.
They have done this by focusing on the money-changers, although they were only minor players in the drama that took place. It was the cult of sacrifice that Jesus tried to dismantle, not the system of monetary exchange. In all three gospel accounts of the event, those who provided the animals for sacrifice are mentioned first: they were the primary focus of Jesus’ outrage.
The Gospel of John gives the most detailed account of the event.
“When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
In the Temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords and drove all from the Temple, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said: ‘Get out of here.’ (John 2:13-16)
Matthew’s gospel does not detail the kind of animals that were being sold for slaughter, but it gives the same order of events.
“Jesus entered the Temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.
‘It is written,’ he said to them, ‘My House will be called a House of Prayer but you are making it a Den of Robbers.’” (Matthew 21:12-13)
The same account is given in the gospel of Mark who, like Matthew, also reports that Jesus accused those at the Temple of making God’s house into a “den of robbers.” And there is universal acknowledgement that in both gospels, when Jesus said this, he was quoting from the prophet Jeremiah (7:11). That prophet had hurled the same accusation at the people of his own time, almost six hundred years earlier. He said it while standing at the Temple entrance, after he had already warned the people “do not shed innocent blood in this place.” And when Jeremiah said God’s House had been turned into a Den of Robbers it could not have had anything to do with money-changers–they did not exist in his time.
In the time of Jeremiah, as in the time of Jesus, there was a great distinction made between “robbers” and “thieves.” In contemporary times that distinction can best be understood by comparing the crime of petty theft with crimes of armed robbery by those who violently attack/kill their victims. But in ancient Israel there was an even greater distinction. A thief could be anyone who succumbed to a momentary impulse to steal something, but a robber was someone for whom violent crime and killing was a lifestyle.
Both Jesus and Jeremiah were indignant about the violence of sacrificial worship, not the possibility of petty theft by money-changers. When they said God’s House had become a den of “robbers” the Hebrew word that was used (here, transliterated) was “per-eets’” defined as “violent, i.e., a tyrant–destroyer, ravenous, robber.” It was the violence of the system, the killing of innocent victims in the name of God, that they were condemning. The money changers operating in the time of Jesus were driven out of the Temple because they were taking part in the process of sacrificial religion, NOT because they may have been cheating the pilgrims.
The gospel of Mark correlates Jesus’ attempt to dismantle the sacrificial system with the plot to kill him. Like Matthew’s gospel, Mark’s account of the Temple Cleansing starts by saying that Jesus “began driving out those who were buying and selling there.” It goes on to relate how he explained to the people why he was doing this, by quoting Jeremiah’s opposition to animal sacrifice:
“My House will be called a House of Prayer for ALL Nations. But you have made it a ‘Den of Robbers.’”
And in the verse of scripture immediately following that statement, Mark reports that “The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard about this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him because the whole crowd was amazed at his teachings.”(Mark 11:18)
It is ridiculous to claim that the religious leaders of Jesus’ time would have plotted his death because he undermined the function of the money-changers. Nor would the crowd have been “amazed at his teachings” if Jesus was simply telling them to make sure they were not short-changed when they purchased Temple coins. What the people were amazed at was his condemnation of animal sacrifice; it had been hundreds of years since that kind of condemnation had been heard in Jerusalem. And it would not be allowed. A few days after he tried to overthrow the Cult of Animal Sacrifice, Jesus was crucified. The religious leaders of his time were determined to preserve the belief that it had been ordained by God, who demanded its continuance.
That determination is echoed in the teachings of contemporary Christian leaders. In spite of Jesus, and in spite of the many biblical denunciations of animal sacrifice (*see endnote) they continue to maintain the ancient fiction that it was God who demanded His creatures be killed and butchered as an act of worship.
It is understandable that in the time of Jesus the religious leaders were committed to upholding the system of Temple sacrifice at all costs: it was the center around which their lives revolved and their livelihood depended. And in biblical times, most people were illiterate and dependent on what their religious leaders taught them concerning the scriptures. But it is not easy to understand why contemporary Christians uphold the validity of the cult of animal sacrifice. In an age of widespread literacy, there is a choice to be made. The bible clearly presents an ongoing conflict between those forces that demanded sacrificial victims in the name of God, and those forces that opposed it as a man-made perversion.
And because there is a choice to be made, it is deeply disturbing to see Christian leaders joining hands across the centuries with their ancient counterparts, in order to validate a system of worship in which the house of God became a giant slaughterhouse, awash in the blood of its victims.

*facepalms* You fools and all your self full-filling procphecies also, how come your all so racist and islamophobes
Wonderful research (Y), i would love to share it , thanks n regards
stop talking abut the pope, he is the vicar of Christ! The Modanna is not an idol, she is the mother of Jesus. God chosed her!! why not respect her! through her we see God’s motherly love. Do you love your mother??! Do you save your mothers pictures and adore those pictures??!
would you get rid of those pictures for ever, would you be upset? would spit on those pictures? would you burn the picture of your mother? its just paper! yes its paper but there’s a picture of a mother that you love or once loved why destroy it? If your mom is dead< would you talk to that picture saying I love you and kissing it??! That peace of paper is not your mother or God, its just paper. For the statue of the Madonna or any catholic relic, its just a picture not God. Therefore we do not pray to pictures, nor paper, nor stones nor wood paper. we pray to the presence of God around us and to help us we have pictures or statues to helps us talk to him. What's your Faith? We believe in one God and the Holy Trinity, so what's the point. The Pope is a man that is our spiritual leader. He is not GOD so stop judging. He prays for us. its not like he's straying us away from GOD. Stop being ignorant and politically incorrect.
Co Redemptress—NO
The Catholic Mary plays NO PART in our Salvation!
She was a wonderful woman, that was chosen by God with HIS Amazing Grace!
Always to be remembered and not worshipped/venerated
I was a practicing catholic. When my husband and I were married in the Catholic Church, we did bow to a Mary statue. We laid a rise at her feet as we all sung Ava Maria …that was just one of the any times we worshipped to her and through her…what about the rosary. We tried to worship and say prayers through beds through Mary about Jesus!
I did the same, Marion worship! Born a Cradle Catholic, and married a devote Catholic, and raised our children Catholic. So what do you think, I received, as a gift from my Motherinlaw? A Rosary
I remember complaining, about Holy Family Statutes being taken down, at our RCC.! I even went to a Marion Shrine!
Never felt comfortable saying the Rosary, but my Grandmother did it, all the time. Later when I read the NT, we are told not to pray repetitious prayer, like the heathens! Did you know Islam utilizes Prayer Beads?
At my fathers funeral, we all said the Rosary, over and over and I had my Rosary, placed in his hands.
Let’s not go into Mary’s Queenship and Ascension! The Papacy decreed her Sinless…wow, that’s Bold Power they claim! ( I guess you can, when your a Successor of the Apostles????😳)
The Catholic Mary is a different Mary, than the Jewish Mary, of the Bible!
It starts in Genesis 3:15, where she is substituted,for Christ (Jesuit Bible )! She crushes the Sepent (Satan)/ conquering Death, Hell, and the Grave!
I pray others, will see the Truth, in their Lifetime 💒
Rise=rose
Bed=beads
Sorry about typos
Please read the commands of Christ. Read the gospels and on the Lord’s words alone you will find that the “vicar” anti christ isn’t sitting in Peter’s seat (as if Peter left a “seat” to sit in). To any man who lives in opulence and covers for abusers of themselves and children and dares to be called “holy” father I would say anathema! The whole so completely misses the point of what and who the church is that it is beyond absurd in the light of Spirit of God and the scriptures. God has no mother! And we have no pictures of our Lord’s mother. Would I accept a picture of someone else as my mother’s picture? There is no queen of heaven…read the scriptures about the “queen of heaven”. I can’t speak to the whole website but I know that the faith once delivered to the saints is not found in Rome but in the bible. If you trust in Christ for salvation the only call you have before you is to “Come out from her my people!”
Mary was Jesus’ mother. Wouldn’t it creep you out if someone was keeping pictures of your mother? God is the Holy Father, you don’t see motherly love through God. You might see love of mother through Jesus, but ultimately Jesus did the will of God the Father. Mary was human and Jesus’ purpose was of God.
Matt 12:47 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Dear Edward.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
You wrote:
Matt 12:47 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
My reply:
You can read this message, as if Jesus claimed to have many mothers. But it was rather a stern rebuke, of those who elevated his sinful mother among the belivers. She needed to be saved by Him as all other created and falen human beings.
Reading this verse in their religious shrines, Roman Catholics still do not understand. This is not a matter of logic, but of their spiritual deceptions. They have been deceived by their own priesthood.
Yes that seems to be the sentiment. In context Jesus’ mother and brothers were standing outside waiting for him, and Jesus rebuked someone for suggesting they took precedent over what he was doing, which was the will of the Father, and they were elevating human matters over matters of God. Which seems to be commonplace in the Roman Catholic church, they even call a human the “holy father”.
Dear Edward.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
The Pope has replaced God in Catholic doctrines, or at best equalized the Pontiff with God.
1. The Pope is the “Holy Father”. Jesus adressed His Father in Heaven as ‘Holy Father”.
2. The Pope is the replacement of the Messiah, the “Vicar of Christ” on the face on the Earth.
3. The Pope is infallible, in all matters of truth. That is the function of the Holy Spirit.
The Catholic doctrines of the Papacy is nothing but blapshemy. The Pope elevate him self above God, because he sets the Word of God aside for his dogmas, traditions and doctrines. The Pope is truely unique.
Here’s one that is HUGE:
Call no man yor Father Matthew 24:9
Jesus referred to the Father in Heaven, not an Earthly Spiritual Father! The RC Priest uses the title Father!
First of all, in the Bible, Christ is our High Priest, and the Old Testament Priesthood ( Levitacal) is over, We have a Priethood through Christ, which is PERFECT and remits our sins permanently, through His Precious Blood!
The Unbloody Representation of the Cross, does Not Forgive…No Priest is Needed ( they don’t have the POWER to bring God down on there Altar!) At the Cross, the Veil of the Levitical Prieshood is GONE!!!
Vicarius Fidei…..Not going there
Alta Christos- Another Christ
Hey, these Priests and Popes think they are Another God! Unfortunately, the Faithful Exoterics do too! ( at least they believe in their POWER/Priestcraft )
I don’t use this word often but, Amen.
2 Corinthians 11:14
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Many have been fooled…
The RCC uses the Garb of Holiness to Decieve their Faithful, and has lured Protestants into her (Mother Church)! Sad to say, an “Angel Of Light” = SATAN!
In Rome, one of their cathedrals has a statue of the Angel of Light…..What does that tell you?
We need to pray for the Catholics, to Come Out of Her! They will never be convinced, by heir own volition , but by the power of Christ Himself!
AMEN, Cathy! The Lord through His Holy Spirit brought me out! ALL GLORY AND HONOR TOO GOD THROUGH JESUS THE CHRIST!
Elizabeth.
I too, was convicted by the Holy Spirit, who delivered me out of Her! All I can do is Praise HIS Mercy! I was never a devote Catholic, which am now thankful….but now, I have been chosen, to follow the Lord!
I have decided to leave, Mystery Babylon, and make Christ, the Head of my Walk With God!
It has been a challenge with my Jesuit educated family, but Iam certain that’s my cross! I have the Saviour Lord Christ to help me, and He is Lord!
AMEN!! Freedom Sweet Freedom! Have you ever gone back for family funerals?
Elizabeth
I have not been back to the RCC for 8 years. Excatholics In Christ, gave me some advice and an expriest, but I feel it will be my decision! I am terrified to enter the church. I know it will be a Funeral or Marriage! I have 2 girls, they know my feelings. It is very hard at Christmas or Easter, not being with my family, at mass! My husband has accepted it,,,the schism is immense! How about yourself?
I went back once and could not wait to get out of there! What I once thought was so beautiful became twisted and ugly!! The Lord gives us new spiritual eyes and ears when we are born again… I want to obey God and struggle with if He wants us to even go back in as ex-Catholics…. We come from a LARGE FAMILY of practicing Catholics and I am about to go up against this battle of going in for a funeral or not….
Elizabeth
I feel your pain!
I do NOT believe God would want us to return!…God does not want to be Mocked! No one can demand His presence and contain Him, thru the mass, as an Unbloody sacrafice via wine & Eucharist wafer. There is No remission of sin without the shedding of blood!
I heard you can leave church, during ceremonialliturgy and stay fFor the Readings…but awkward !
Funerals are bad, because of the Communion of the Saints (Necromancy) !
Baptisms are accepting an Infant is Reborn…..you know a little baby cannot be Born Again!
So, it looks like we will indeed “Carry Our Cross!”
Amen! Have you noticed the Francis popping up ALOT in the news lately? Wolf in sheep’s clothing trying to gather the lost sheep… So sad! Prayers more come to the only saving grace! So blessed to know WHO THE TRUE SHEPHERD IS!
John 14:6 showed me HIS TRUTH!!!
Elizabeth,
Look on the Internet, for the recent Pope, who had his portrait labeled: The Truth, The Way, and The Life!
Yes, Pope F is on the News, trying to promote Iran, to the World! The Papacy wants to be the Top Player, in Diplomacy. They have been, I Bef, with Tyrants. Of the World 4/ever!……The Movie that is being honored at th Academy Awards, “Spotlight” is about the Bostin Globes uncovering of the Sex Abuse, in the RCC. When interviewing ppl, why they were not happy with the movie, they said, “it was about God!” How very sad, it’s not about God…equating Papal Power, is quite the opposite!
These ppl don’t know better. That’s the way, they were indoctrinated, either in RC Schools or CCD classes and simply from their Parents!
In Matthew 24, Jesus warned us: Do Not Be Deceived! Many will come in his name….Alter Christos (other Christs!) He who the Son sets free, is free indeed! Amen
Cathy, I looked it up! WOW! JUST WOW!! AND him with his ‘jesus” half naked next to him….
Sad very, very, very (and so many more very’s!) sad!
Ephesians 6:12-13
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Elizabeth,
You selected the BEST verse, for what we have to Battle in Ephesians 6!
I also pray, to Rebuke Satan, from access to my family, that are not Born Again…you should do the same!
Many Blessings
Please feel free, to ask me anything…I want to help! This is Faith that works! ❤ and God is. ❤
Thank you, Cathy!!! I am thankful our Lord would have our paths to cross! We, being blessed by God, as Born Again Believers need to be there for each other!
Proverbs 27:17
17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Elizabeth,
We as Followers of Christ, need to edify each other! I am not a believer, in the Purpose Driven life, which is too Humanstic driven, in nature. , I do believe that those are Believers in Christ Alone, have been given a Purpose according to HIS Plan! It is strictly the Fruit of Holy Spirit, in us, as God has sent!
Nothing we do, but what Christ has done, in us!
Hallelujah
AMEN!!!!!!
So what your saying is, it’s better to go with the understanding God gives you than to be brainwashed by a book?
Edward
Are you talking about the Holy Sacred Scripture Book? The one that Christ said, It Is Written? Hey, Thy Word Is Truth and Faith comes by Hearing and Hearing The Word of God! ??????I wouldn’t call use of the Bible(Inspired Word Of God) Brainwashing!
No, I was talking about the book, Purpose Driven Life. The bible is different, it doesn’t try to teach you how to think, it gives you food for thought.
Dear Edward
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
You are on thin ice in regard to the Bible.
The Bible is not “a book”, that gives us “something to think about”. The Bible is the infallible Word of God. The Word is eternally kept safe in Heaven, and can not be changed by men. The Word is the absolute, hightest and final authority in all matters of the Christian faith.
Edward, the Purpose Driven Life is Humanistic…..Mans interpretation, of how to have Purpose Driven Life!
The Holy Bible is inspired by God, by the Prophets and Apostles….Chosen by God!
It is a Holy Book, showing Man, HIS Plan for SALVATION!
The Bible WARNS Man NOT to Add or Change Anything or you will be an ANATHEMA (Cursed!) The Holy Bible IS The Authority of God! So, any Translator, must heed the Curse…the Wrath of GOD!!!
You have a different meaning of humanistic than I do. The bible is meant to be understood by people, I have no problem with that becausethere must be a correct interpretation. To me humanism means erasing everything supernatural in the bible,..
Edward,
Humanistic is putting Man over God….rather Secular!
Basically, viewing Man as g o d!
If you put man over the almighty powerful God creater of all things, that view means man having greater powers than God. Nobody would believe that. Humanism attempts to lower God to the level of man, more in line with the scientific community. One step away from Atheism.
Two sides of the same coin I guess.
Edward,
In some cases Humanism is Atheism! Man becomes the g o d of his Universe! A good way to think of it: You can do NOTHING without GOD! He is Sovereign, the Supreme of ALL Creation!
I mean humanism is things like saying Jesus didn’t actually walk on water, it was just a story. Or Jesus did walk on water but with the help of jetpack made from used delorean parts. Things like that.
Edward,
There is no comparison of God and Man! We are all slaves to sin and we need Christ for Life, both Spiritual and Eternal! No Man will ever fill the attributes of God…Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient! It is insane to believe a Pope is God under a veil of human flesh! This is Humanism, like the Little Horn (Daniel 7:8!)
You might want to look up the definition of humanism.
What is Your Definition, Edward?
It might be interesting!
Websters definition. Take out everything that hasn’t been proved by science, or can’t be explained with human knowledge Like on the history channel they try to say the parting of the red sea was a drought, then the egyptians came after and it started to rain. No divine help at all.
Humanism. 4 Philosophy. a variety of ethical theory and practice that emphasizes reason, scientific inquiry, and human fulfillment in the natural world and often rejects the importance of belief in God.
Edward, the second definition, the weight is on Human knowledge , Not the Power of God!
God is Our Source, the Alpha & Omega, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! Humans are HIS Creation and we were NOT created by Darwins Theory of Evolution!
Human Science and Philosophy is Nothing, in Gods Realm!
Dear Cathy
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Thanks for ministering to Edward, who do not attend and contribute to a fellowship, who needs to surrender to the Lord, and become a part of the body of the Messiah.
Humanism removes God from the center of the creation, and put mankind in the center. People who believe in humanism have a man centered understading of existence. Humanism mixed into Christianity, become a political ideology. When claimed to be Christians feels their mision is to save the planet, remove poverty and work for peace between men. The Pope is the head of this movement.
Not all human knowledge is bad, just the lies. God gives humans human knowledge. Humanism is just some BS word godless people came up with to slander those who believe in God. As if we can’t have both, We can have both human knowledge and knowledge of God. And yes, Darwins theory of evolution is a lie, we can throw that away. What good does it do anyone.
“When claimed to be Christians feels their mision is to save the planet, remove poverty and work for peace between men. The Pope is the head of this movement. ”
Well it seems like a trap, because anyone who denounces that missions appears to be saying they are against saving the planet, removing poverty or working toward peace.
Christians are supposed to be kind to the planet, help the poor and be peacemakers. The lie is when they take it to the extreme of being our job to end poverty, end war and save the planet. often followed by a donation bucket.
Dear Edward.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
You need to fill your life with the word of God. The Bible says, that there will always be poor people among us. A poor man is not righteous by his powerty, and entiteled to divine help. Very often it is sin followerd by a refusal to repent, that is the cause of “powerty”.
This fact do not release us who have in plenty to help those who are in need.
But any bid to abolish powerty will be as succesful as man’s bid to reach the edge of the Universe.
This is the Importance of being Born Again: You feel compelled to do go things, because of your Faith. The Pope has the agenda of Good Works, that he claims, comes from your Conscience. How could it? In Jeremiah, we are told: A mans Heart Is Deceitful…depends on the “Old Man”(ADAMIC Sin Nature)!
The truly BORN AGAIN individual does Good Works because of his FAITH, and the Old Person Dying with Christ!
So helping the poor, stewarding the planet, becomes natural, not your an Work triggered by your Conscience in order to Gain Something! It is true, Jesus said, there will Always Be The Poor This will never end. Humanism won’t Solve It!
AMEN, CATHY! ALL GLORY AND HONOR TO THE NE TRUE GOD! NOT humans!!! God says after awhile He will turn them over to their reprobate minds!
WE ARE HERE.
>> Romans 1:27-32<<
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
*ONE not NE!!!
We know that “The Bible says, that there will always be poor people among us.”, because we read the bible and believe it. But to most people who don’t read the bible it must look pretty bad to be calling the pope evil for trying to end poverty, save the planet and bring world peace. Even Ms. Universe wants to do those things.
Isaiah 5:20-21
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Elizabeth,
We are now living Romans 1
How could Paul know, what would happen?
Answer: GOD
Even in the OT Isaiah- Good is Evil , Evil is Good!
Just amazing, How could he know that?
Answer: GOD
AMEN! SO AMAZING! WE CAN NOT TRULY COMPREHEND THIS IN OUR FINITE MINDS!!!
Edward, anyone that is against God is evil..so what may LOOK good, kind, sweet and cuddly but doesn’t obey God is evil. Plain and simple. Nothing to argue ❤ One can try to justify things in their own mind their own way all they would like but it does NOT change God and what He has already said and put into motion.
Calling world peace, end of poverty, and saving the planet good is calling good good. But just happens to not be in the plan. Trying for those things isn’t necessarily evil. Maybe they are doubting Thomas’s who don’t believe without proof, and how would we know without trying. No harm in trying, Jesus didn’t call Thomas a betrayer.
Have you ever studied who the Man Of Sin is?
Clue:
Revelation 17
2Thessalonians 2: 1-10 (3-4)
Daniel 7 (7:8)
The Reformers knew the truth, but now the Protestants are Embarking Back To Rome!
I don’t like to be so blunt! Please check into the Deceit. Since Vatican II attitudes have changed, with the Seperated Brethren!
This a bunch of bull crap….the devil is really busy with all of your brain if u believe these false accusations here … People dont be deceived. The devil wants you to believe these lies so he can take a better grip of you..dont fall for these slanders….the Bible speaks of slanderers…read about it in the Bible.
I was once a Roman Catholic. Don’t you be deceived by Mother Church! She is NOT the Church of God, even though her outward appearance, lends credence to her Holiness! The Pope just proclaimed we can believe in all g o d s! What…. if you do not believe in Christ, as God, you are NOT Saved!
Dear Cathy
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
The RCC keep on repeating the claim that they are the “Mother church”. That they are the original Church, founded on the teaching and authority of the apostles. This is a lie. The RCC was formed in Rome, after the claimed conversion of Emperor Constantine. This conversion took place around 320 A.D, and is the base of the bishop of Rome and replacement theology.
The Pope has replaced the truth with his false theology and dogmas. The errors of the papacy are so severe, that we are presented with a false Christ, a copycat Messiah.
The true Church of the apostles stood in Jerusalem. The first mission field of the Apostles was the Mountains of Zion, the districtes of Judea and Samaria. The first pagans who came to faith and formed a Church, were Turks in Antioch. Than followed, among others, the Copts in Egypt and the Thomas Christians on the West Coast of India.
All of this took place, when Rome was full of idols, and its soldiers massacred belivers in the Messiah.
The Vatican has taught her followers, that she is The One True Church, that Christ founded! They believe it, and will fight to the end, with their “Boastful Pride Of Life!” Hopefully, they will be convicted, by th Holy Spirit, with the TRUTH! Basically they are the Synagogue of Satan! No, better description is “Mystery Babylon-Harlot of Abominations,of the Earth!”
They believe her Papacy is Apostolic Succession…..What, even a fool would know, that’s crazy!
Deceit!
What do you think about the Roman Church meeting with the Russian Orthdox Church in Cuba? The Schism that rocked the Church, East vs West, around 1200 AD, is now embracing! Could this be the formation, of a One World Church?
Dear Cathy
Shalom, and love in Jesus.

My reply:
The merger of all religious movements are on. The question is: Who will be the head? The Pope of Rome is the most popular candidate, since he accpet them all.
Be sure to see:
2John 2:22 Who is a LIAR……
And people are being beguiled…
Elizabeth,
We have been ALL fooled, even the countless Clergy! You wonder WHY a Priest leaves the Church….he finally, discovered the TRUTH! They never tell their parishioners , except for a few!
For GOD is not a man or any other creature that He should lie…..for whatever He say in the Holy Scripture shall surely come to pass (until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota or dot will in his Holy Book .i.e BIBLE pass away). I sometimes wonder y some churches and other christians especially the RC’s follow lawless men (the pope) and persuade them to worship idols and statues set before them in their various denominations when the “HOLY BIBLE” clearly says -ye shall not bow down or worship any other god before the Creator. I pray to The Almighty God that people in this anti-christos will come out of the devils hand through your great work the Lord has given yu …!!!!
Amen to you!
The Roman Church does NOT follow Scripture! It is Man substituting as GOD…Violating HIS Law and Ordinances!
I GOT OUT OF HER…Hallelujah
He Opened Up my eyes, in time!!!!!
She is indeed, the BEAST of Revelation!
John,
Amen to that!
The Roman Church wants to Usurp the Laws and Ordinances Of GOD!
Today, they are worshipping Mary and Praying to her! This is breaking the Law of God!
All my Catholic friends feel this is a Holy accomplishment….the Boastful Pride of Life!
AMEN, KWAMIFIO JOHN T!
I think a lot of them feel “stuck”. It is what they know. I have had this experience with my in laws. After my husband and I “came out of her” we were looked at as though we were cultish-ironic huh! Since being out my mom in law has asked questions and when the answers (even though they are Biblical) point away from Catholicism she shuts me down and changes the subject. She has told me that she can’t “change” that it is all she knows! And now with so many “false protestants” not protesting against the catholic church they make it much more difficult to tell the truth because of their acceptance now! VERY SAD!
The Lord has given me ample time to learn to love them but not the religion, therefore they can say nothing against me BECAUSE of The Lord.
Today my nephew whom I care about deeply is marrying in a catholic church named “Maternity BVM”? What does BVM stand for? Well of course: BLESSED VIRGIN MARY . I just can’t go in that building. We will attend the dinner and leave before it gets to drunked up. But it is nice to know that the love on my heart for their lost selves comes from above. It would be VERY difficult to handle this on “my” own! The most trying time will be when a close family member passes and I do not go to their “mass” (that word itself became VERY creepy when I first left the church-guided by the holy spirit!). By not going allows me to witness to the TRUTH of THE TRUE GOSPEL. NOT “my” GOSPEL! GOD’S GOSPEL!!
PRAISES TO OUR GREAT AND MIGHTY GOD THAT CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS! HEAL THE SICK! GIVE SIGHT TO THE BLIND! MAKE THE DEAF TO HEAR AND SO, SO, SO MUCH MORE!!!
My favorite question is found in Galatians 4:16
” Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”
Elizabeth ,
Catholicism preaches their OWN Gospel and Brainwashes their Flock!
Ppl who do not know better follow! Another area, of concern is Bible Translations and the source, of those Translations. Satan has worked very hard, to Decieve!😨
Dear ivarfjeld and Cathy
Amen and amen.
I was talking to my nephew and his wife yesterday that have never practiced Catholicism. Though they are completely against Catholicism they are okay with going to weddings and funeral masses in the building. I told them it bothers my conscience to bad to sit their and watch them at a wedding ceremony to place roses at the feet of a stone statue and sing songs to it. I just can’t watch them eat a manmade wafer and drink man made wine thinking it mysteriously turns into the blood and flesh of a “Jesus”.I am still trying to figure out why some are bothered more than others about this. Maybe it is because I actually practiced it and was amongst the lies that it just seems wrong to go any where near it!
Sincerely and Love in Jesus the Christ,
Elizabeth
Dear Elizabeth
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
I fully understand you. I do not attend Roman Catholic religious functions. I hate their idolatry to the core of my soul. So do God of the Bible.
It really is a stomach turner when we come to the knowledge of just how JEALOUS our God is! HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO BE!
The ULTIMATE Decision, I will ever make is….Returning to the RCC, when my daughters Marry! I asked them to elope, so I will NEVER have to make the DECISION!!!
Dear Cathy,
That will be our test…GOD or “man”… We will be persecuted and rejected because of what Jesus did for us and what He has also has done for them. They are rejecting Jesus not “us”.
Romans 5:8
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Matthew 10:33
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:11
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
What a blessing that at one time I never would have wanted any part of. I do not seek out being persecuted. But, I am very aware that it can and will happen. GLORY TO YOU, LORD GOD THAT HAS BROUGHT US OUT OF OUR OWN PERSONAL “EGYPT”!
Testing!
The False Gospel of the RCC will continue to the End of The Age!
Exactly what you said, Cathy! I find it very difficult to pray with them at meals and such. I am not sure we are praying to the same God. Know what I mean?
Elizabeth,
It is Very Simple….just believe in Christ the LORD!
Think of ONLY JESUS! He is our only Redeemer!
Get Rid of the Veneration of Saints And Mary! Christ is the One, we need to Worship! No fancy definition of Veneration is applicable! 1John 2:22
Dear Cathy
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
1.John 2:22.
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist – denying the Father and the Son.
This is aplicable to all who reject that the Messiah is God. Equally God as the Father. The Son and the Father are both, eternal God. Always in agreement.
The Catholic mother of “Christ”, is neither the Father nor the Son. She is a created being, and should NOT be venerated, adored or worshiped. The RCC has defamed the legacy of this Jewish virgin, and falsefied her human and sinful nature, made her a divine being. She is the reigning pagan goddess of Rome, the “mother of God” and the “Queen of Heaven”. That amounts to satanic non sense, from the pits of Hell. And must be rejected by all true Christians.
Dear ivar-
KEEP ON KEEPING ON!
I also believe that by not participating with them or ever going back into that building speaks LOUDLY. It is a silent witnessing “tool” that the Lord can use!
ALL GLORY TO THE LORD!
When they finally ask me why I don’t go I can tell them it is not about them and then let the holy spirit (my comforter that our Lord sent us when he ascended into heaven and know sits at the right hand of God) guide me with patience and the right words that need to be spoken to plant seeds and make veils drop from blinded eyes!
