Bible studies #35: Doctrine of Purgatory is non-Biblical spiritual slavery

The Vatican teach that Catholics can not be sure of salvation in this life. They have to await purification for their sins till after they have departed, in a place not mentioned in the Bible.

The Catholic lives in darkness, because their priest do not tell them where they are going when they depart.

The Doctrine of Purgatory is nullifying the purification for sins done by Jesus on the cross at Calvary Hill. The Bible says that the blood of Jesus has redeemed us from the stains and guilt of sins. People who believe in the cleansing blood of the Messiah are saved. Today.

Romans 5:9
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!

Ephesians 1:7
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.

Hebrews 9:12
He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.

The Roman Catholic Church do not agree. The Papal priests tells the faithful they can not be sure of such purification in this life. The final purification will take place after the soul has departed into a place called Purgatory. This word is not mentioned in the Bible, nor is any doctrine of an after-life purification from sins Biblical.

But the Papal doctrine of Purgatory is a money making machine for the Vatican. Because by giving offerings to the Church, so-called indulgences, the family of the departed soul can gain some speed in the soul cleansing process in Purgatory.

From the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church:

1498 Through indulgences the faithful can obtain the remission of temporal punishment resulting from sin for themselves and also for the souls in Purgatory.

Faithful Catholics are told by their priests to keep on praying for the cleansing of the departed soul, and to give Church donations in form of remembering masses. The priest can neither give any assurances of when the departed soul will leave, not have left Purgatory for Heaven. This has led many Catholics to hold such masses for 20 to 30 years.

Not easy to say who is the worst sinner.

The doctrine of Purgatory, and the doctrine of confession to a Catholic priest, leads the Roman Catholics into spiritual slavery. Because the Papal promoted logic is that a man that has committed «many» sins, needs extra time for cleansing in Purgatory. So a priest that have kept a long «confession list» from a departed soul, can raise a lot of funds from the the mans family.

The Church of Rome de facto feed it self on sins.

The more sins the Catholics commits and confesses, the more funds the Church can raise, simply by explaining that plenty of indulgences are needed for the purification in Purgatory.

The Vatican is no longer «able» to start to teach the Gospel correctly. Because if enough Catholics are saved, and automatically turns away from sins, this worldly man made religious system would go bankrupt.

This is the truth about the tragic affairs of the false Church of Rome.

Bible studies: The last false Messiah will befriend Israel and the Jewish people

World leaders calls them selves «friend of Israel». The last anti-Christ will be branded as the greatest of them all.

UN, EU, US and Italy. All send their leaders to Israel and shake hands with the Israeli government. Hundreds of thousands of Roman Catholics are pilgrims in Jerusalem every year.

But do they all have Israels best interests in mind?

What is it about this small Jewish state, that draws so much attention?

The Bible explains that the city of Jerusalem will host the battle between the last anti-Messiah and the returning true Messiah. The fake will have to come before the real. Do not end up worshiping the first to arrive. He will enter the city of David, place Him self on the throne, inside God`s temple.

Daniel 11:36-38

The King Who Exalts Himself

The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his fathers he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts.

Many people wounder who this man will be.

Why will he be welcomed into Jerusalem?

Who He is, can best be explained with what He will do. He will come as the ultimate «friend of Israel». He will bring «peace» to the Middle East.

The «sign and wonder movement» within «Christianity» will fall flat for the last powerful anti-Messiah. Many Churches are now welcoming any kind of deceptive spirits that manifest it self in their congregation. They even announce «Miracle festivals». Who wants to listen to Biblical end time warnings of false miracle workers?

Also many Jews will be fooled by this last deceiver. The Jewish people have always done all they can to get peace. When war is looming, and the destruction of Israel seems to be unavoidable, the Jewish people will listen to the man of lawlessness.

When global leaders claim «World peace» is at stake, the Jewish people will be forced to overlook that the false Messiah will present a god, unknown to their forefathers. The politically correct melody in Jerusalem will be «Look at the miracles. Lets get peace, peace now at any cost».

The last false anti-Messiah will be worshiped as god by hundreds of millions of people all over the globe. In hundreds of thousands they will come to Israel, to the city of Jerusalem to worship him.

Few people will listen to the warnings from true Messianic believers. Who has patience, to wait for the Messiah to return in the clouds of Heaven? Critical voices will be branded as the enemies of god, a stumbling block to be removed, a threat to peace and prosperity.

2 Thessalonians 2:3
Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for (that day will not come) until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

What kind of rebellion is this?

There have never been a One World religion since the time of the Tower of Babel. There have never been a religion that seek unity between all religions, a «God» that accepts all kind of idols and religious stuff.

Should not the true Messiah be a man of «peace», who perform mighty sign and wonders?

Absolutely. But learn from the episodes around Pharaoh, when He faced Moses. If the Hebrews had opted for peace, they would never have followed God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob out of Egypt. In pure rebellion and disbelief in the Sinai desert, many of them wanted to return to «peace» and slavery in Egypt.

Do never forget that both God´s power and the occult forces of darkness took place right in front of the ancient Egyptian leader.

Jesus warns us that Satan, through the last Jesus-copies, will get power to perform miracles, sign and wonders.

Matthew 24:24
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible.

Get ready for a tough ride before the rapture. But in Jesus, we will get our victory in the end.

Matthew 24:22

If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

Daniel 12

The End Times

At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.

Bible lesson # 5: Word of Faith: We can reign as kings in this life: The Bible: Satan is the king of the present World

To reign as kings means prosperity. To live for Jesus means the rather opposite. To give up all fleshy desires, and follow the King of Kings.

 

If you are a disciple of the teaching of Hagin, you need deliverance.
If you are a disciple of the teaching of Hagin, you need deliverance.

The Word of Faith teachers Kenneth Hagin is one of the main polluter of the so called Charismatic Pentecostal church today. One of his teaching CD´s has this tittle: «Reigning In Life As A King».

The explanation to this CD tells the story:

«Man was created to reign as a king in this life. God never intended that man be a slave to sin, bad habits, sickness, or anything that binds».

The Bible tells the exact opposite of what Kenneth Hagin does:

Jesus told us about His Kingdom, that is not of this World.

John 18:36
Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place.”

The King who rule on Earth before the King of Kings returns is Satan. The Bible explains that all the Earthly Kingdoms dwell in the Evil One.

1 John 5:19 (New King James Version)

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

He suffered, and you will be persecuted by following Him
He suffered, and you will be persecuted by following Him

Jesus also explained that those who wants to be his followers has to give up all kinds of Earthly fleshy desires, and follow Him.

Luke 14:33
In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.

You cant do that if you are a disciple of a prosperity teachers in one of the Charismatic Churches. Find your self a Bible teachers who will tell you the truth.

The false teachers of the prosperity gospel often use this verse as their best defense of their doctrines.

1 Corinthians 4:8
Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! You have become kings—and that without us! How I wish that you really had become kings so that we might be kings with you!

Taken out of context, this verse can take you for a ride. If you do not read verse 9.

1 Corinthians 4:9

For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like men condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men.

Paul did surely not want to leave his post as an Apostle, to join the apostate Church in Corinth and live like «a king». Paul was using irony in verse 8. The truth is that Paul him self was beheaded. And not only him. The other apostles, less John, was also killed in the spiritual battlefield.

The message of prosperity and fleshy success in what we do for Jesus on Earth is a dangerous deception, and must be rejected in all churches.

Hagin and Rome both worship a present copy-cat King, that is not Jesus of the Bible. Here Infant Jesus is ruling in Mangalore, India.

When you preach prosperity in the name of «Jesus», the World will love you. All of flesh wants to prosper. From the US to the land of India. There are many who wants you to follow such a «copy-cat Jesus». But at the end of the road, the true Messiah might have to tell you that He never knew you.

Matthew 7:22-24 (New International Version)

Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Only when the Messiah comes back, He will reign as the King of Kings on Earth. Behold: The Lion of Judah is coming soon to judge the World.
