      Stev-nm9qy----I also grew up catholic and at times some well meaning Christian would ask me if I was a Christian. I would think to myself, what a stupid question, of course I'm a Christian, I am catholic. Only when I got into the Word did I realize I was as lost as lost could be. Praise God, I have since prayed to receive Christ as my Lord and Savior

    It’s sad, I was a catholic all my life but as soon as I actually started reading the gospel of Christ that I had my eyes opened. I thank God for showing me the true way to salvation, thru his son Jesus Christ, that’s all you need.

      I am with you brother! It's sad to find out late in life about the true words of God! Just like you, when I started to read the Bible I was intrigued .... here are some of my favorite passage which opened my eyes and trust will open your eyes to!
      3. Who knew about the Virgin Birth? Only Matthew and Luke seem to know anything about a virgin birth. If something as miraculous as a virgin birth had occurred, it seems odd that Mark and John did not mention it in their effort to convince their readers that Jesus was who they claimed him to be. In contradiction, Paul never mentions a virgin birth (insisting he was born of a woman) even though it would have strengthened his claim if he had. See Romans 1:3 and Galatians 4:4.
      4. When was Jesus born? Matthew 2:1 says Jesus was born during the time of Herod. Luke 2:2 says that he was born was born during the first census in Israel, while Quirinus was governor of Syria. This is not possible because Herod died in about 4 B.C., and the census took place in 6 and 7 A.D., about 10 years after Herod’s death.
      5. Why can’t the gospel writers agree on the order in which the disciples were selected? In Matthew 4:18-22 and Mark 1:16-20, Peter and Andrew are casting nets into the sea. Jesus calls out to them and they leave their nets and follow him. Jesus then goes on a little further and sees James and John mending their nets with their father. He calls to them and they leave their father and follow him.
      In Luke 5:1-11, Jesus asks Peter to take him out in Peter’s boat so Jesus can preach to the multitude. James and John are in another boat. When Jesus finishes preaching, he tells Peter how to catch a great quantity of fish (John 21:3-6 incorporates this story in a post- resurrection appearance). After Peter catches the fish, he and James and John are so impressed that after they bring their boats to shore they leave everything and follow Jesus.
      In John 1:35-42, Andrew hears John the Baptist call Jesus the Lamb of Yah. Andrew then stays with Jesus for the remainder of the day and then goes to get his brother Peter and brings him to meet Jesus.
      6. The Great Catch - Luke and John disagree when the great catch took place (see above).
      7. When did John the Baptist first meet Jesus and when did he first know who Jesus was? John the Baptist’s first encounter with Jesus was while both of them were still in their mothers’ wombs, at which time John, apparently recognizing his “Saviour,” leaped for joy (Luke 1:44). Much later, while John is baptizing (John 1:29, 36) he refers to Jesus as “the Lamb of Yah who takes away the sins of the world”, and “the Son of Yah”. John’s recognition of Jesus as the son of Yah and Saviour of the world is explicitly contradicted by Luke 7:18-23 in which the imprisoned John sends two of his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you the one who is coming, or do we look for someone else?”
      8. When was Jesus baptized? Luke, who claims to be chronological (Luke 1:3), gives the impression that John did not baptize Jesus. Luke’s account of Jesus’ baptism occurs after the account of John’s imprisonment (Luke 3:20-21). John 1:25-34 indicates that John baptized Jesus before Jesus’ ministry began.
      9. How many men from out of the tombs met Jesus on the shore? Matthew 8:28 says there were two men. In contrast, Mark 5:2 and Luke 8:27 record there only being one possessed man on the Gadarean shore.
      10. The Pharisees come to Jesus and ask him for a sign - In Mark 8:12 Jesus says that “no sign shall be given to this generation.” In contradiction to Mark, in Matthew 12:39 Jesus says that only one sign would be given - the sign of Jonah. In contradiction to both Mark and Matthew, the gospel of John speaks of many signs that Jesus did: a. The miracle of turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana is called the beginning (or first) of the signs that Jesus did (John 2:11). b. The healing at Capernaum is the “second sign” (John 4:54). c. Many people were following Jesus “because they were seeing the signs He was performing” (John 6:2). Miracles (G4592) is also translated as signs.
      11. The Fig Tree - After Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem a sees a fig tree and wants some figs from it. He finds none on it so he curses the tree and it withers and dies (Matthew 21:18-20, Mark 11:12-14, 20-21). Matthew and Mark cannot agree on when the tree withered. In Matthew, the tree withers at once and the disciples comment on this fact (Matthew 21:19-20). In Mark, the tree is not found to be withered until at least the next day (Mark 11:20-21). Since this occurred in the early spring before Passover, it is ridiculous for Jesus (especially if he is a co-Creator) to expect figs to be on the tree as they are a summer fruit! Nature cannot be punished for obedience.
      12. Should the 12 disciples take staffs? When Jesus summons the twelve disciples to send them out to proclaim the kingdom of YHWH, he lists the things the disciples should not take with them. In Matthew 10:9-10 and Luke 9:3-5, a staff is included on the list of things not to take. In contradiction to Matthew and Luke, Mark 6:8 makes a specific exception - the disciples may take a staff.
      13. How many beasts of burden did Jesus ride on during his triumphal entry? Matthew 21:1-7 says that Jesus rode in on two donkeys. Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:29-44 and John 12:14-15 all agree that he rode on only one animal.
      14. Who was Jesus? Over 80 times in the gospels, Jesus is referred to as (or he calls himself) the “son of man.” In contradiction, five times in the book of John, Jesus is referred to as (or he calls himself) the Son of Yah. You can be the son of man OR a son of Yah, it is an either/or situation. Lucifer and Adam are son’s of Yah. See Genesis 6, Job 1:5-6, Job 2:1, Job 38:4-7, for examples of other men called son’s of Yah. If you have a belly button, you are a son of man. Hosea 1:10 tells of a time when one day we (the saved of Israel) will all be called the sons of Yah.
      Praise be to JeZEUS who is the LORD of the Rings of Saturn aka Satan!

      My neighbors mom was the same way. Raised her daughter in the Catholic church, school. Daughter (my neighbor) knows very little about the Bible in general. Then a couple yrs ago my wife mentioned that the mother said she converted to Christianity and a few weeks later I asked her why she converted from Catholicism to Christianity. Her answered mimicked yours. She opened her eyes and read the Bible. She things weren't matching up with what she was taught to what's in the Bible.

      @@RoseSharon7777 Here is some more inspiration in support of JeZEUS who is the LORD of the Rings of Saturn! Hail Zeus! When did the priests and scribes gather together to question Jesus? Matthew 26:57 says that on the night Jesus was arrested the priests and scribes were gathered together prior to Jesus being brought to the high priest. Mark 14:53 says the priests and scribes gathered together on the night of Jesus’ arrest after Jesus was brought to the high priest. Luke 22:66 says the priests and scribes assembled the day after Jesus was arrested. John mentions only the high priest - no other priests or scribes play a role in questioning Jesus. Four gospels, four different answers. This is not good.
      24. What had Barabbas done? Mark 15:7 and Luke 23:19 say that Barabbas was guilty of insurrection and murder. John 18:40 says that Barabbas was a robber.
      25. Who put the robe on Jesus? Matthew 27:28, Mark 15:17 and John 19:2 say that after Pilate had Jesus scourged and turned over to his soldiers to be crucified, the soldiers placed a scarlet or purple robe on Jesus as well as a crown of thorns. Luke 23:11, in contradiction to Matthew, Mark and John, says that the robe was placed on Jesus much earlier by Herod and his soldiers. Luke mentions no crown of thorns.
      26. Who carried “the cross”? some say Jesus IS the Father, yet in a dozen places either Jesus or the recorded NT events deny this.
      27. At what time was Jesus crucified? Mark 15:25 says it was the third hour (9:00 A.M.), John 19-14-15 says he was crucified at the sixth hour (noon).
      28. Crucified between two ____? Matthew 27:38 and Mark 15:27 say that Jesus was crucified between two thieves (Luke 23:32 just calls them criminals; John 19:18 simply calls them men). It is a historical fact that the Romans did not crucify robbers; crucifixion was exclusively reserved by law for insurrectionists and rebellious slaves.
      29. Did Jesus drink, if so, what did he drink? Matthew 27:34 says he drank wine mixed with gall. Mark 15:23 insists that Jesus was offered wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not drink. Luke does not say whether he drank or not, only that he was offered vinegar (or sour wine, see Luke 23:36). John 19:29-30 agrees that it was indeed vinegar, but attests that Jesus accepted the drink.
      30. John and the mother of Jesus near the cross - When Matthew 27:39-49 and John 19:25-27 mention Jesus talking to his mother and John, and others speaking with Jesus or deriding him while on the cross, they run afoul of another historical fact. Roman soldiers closely guarded the places of execution, and nobody was allowed near (least of all friends and family who might attempt to help the condemned). In agreement with the historical record, but in contradiction to Matthew and John’s record, Mark 15:40-41 and Luke 27:49 place these people afar off.
      31. What were Jesus’ last words before he died? Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 agree that he said, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani (My Elohim, my Elohim, why hast thou forsaken me?). Luke (who admittedly was not at the scene) records, “Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit” as Jesus’ final utterance, see Luke 23:46. John 19:30, offering a final look into this matter counters that Jesus’ last words were, “It is finished.”
      32. Had the sun risen before the women arrived at the tomb? Toward dawn (Matthew 28:1) and Luke’s version, At early dawn (Luke 24:1) are very similar. From here the wheels fall off. Mark 16:2 says they arrived, When the sun had risen. In disagreement, John 20:1 says it was still dark.
      33. Who found the empty tomb? According to Matthew 28:1, only “Mary Magdalene and the other Mary found the empty tomb.” According to Mark 16:1, it was three women: “Mary Magdalene, Mary (the mother of James) and Salome.” According to Luke 23:55, 24:1 and 24:10, it was “the women who had come with him out of Galilee.” Among these women were “Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James.” Luke indicates in verse 24:10 that there were at least two others. According to John 20:1-4, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb alone, saw the stone removed, ran to find Peter then and returned to the tomb with Peter and another disciple. Four gospels, four different answers. This is not good.

      If you were Catholic, you should have known that the Eucharist wasn't the education of Christ, but the celebration and memorial of his sacrifice on the cross. Many of the words used in Liturgy come from scripture and Latin is used because it was the language used for many years by Christians in Rome. The Saints are in communion and alive with God and pray for us, and if you truly believe in the life-saving power of Jesus you would know that they aren't dead. Why wouldn't you do good work? Don't you know that God will judge your works or that faith without works is dead?

      If violence down by Catholics undercuts the catholic faith, then it does the same to Protestants. Protestants also persecuted and put Catholics to death. They seized Catholics assets and made them second class citizens. They also did so to other Protestants.
      This is also an argument used by atheists to undercut Christianity and Judaism as a whole. They claim that the Bible is so full of religious violence that there is no way it can be truly religious.

      Ibenzik
      Petros, which is clearly the masculine version of petra, is what Simon’s name was changed to. Jesus wouldn’t have called him Petra, because Simon was a man.
      God changed only three peoples names in all of scripture:
      “No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.”
      ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭17‬:‭5‬ ‭RSV-C‬‬
      “And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” So his name was called Israel. And God said to him, “I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall spring from you.”
      ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭35‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭RSV-C‬‬
      “And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.””
      ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭RSV-C‬‬
      All of the changes are blessings and have additional corresponding blessings. And Jesus just so happened to change his name to something that meant rock? But it isn’t the rock of the next words out of His mouth?
      See also “He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, “So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).”
      ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭42‬ ‭RSV-C‬‬
      Jesus spoke the local language, Aramaic or Hebrew. Cephas is the english version of the aramaic word for rock. Cephas is not a gendered word. So when Jesus changed Simon’s name, He probably spoke Aramaic. So He said you are Cephas and on this cephas I will build my church.
      Your twisting of scripture to your theology contradicts the clear meaning of the scripture.

    The Bible is book - ended between the destruction of two worlds from Genesis to Revelation, and thanks to John MacArthur and many like him for providing insight into the scriptures on how we as Christians can survive this world ruled over by Satan and how to be Gods loyal subjects.
    There are very difficult days ahead were are faith will be tested to the full, not by God, but by the Anti-Christ. The story of Job and many other similar biblical accounts has prepared us for that.

      No, it's through faith and acts in the sense of charity. The grace is only the gift of God for the acknowledgement that Jesus Christ died for our sins and is the only saviour for us and that we have to accept his sacrifice and accept him as our saviour and that we can have the salvation only through him. Human only has to accept this gift and not reject it.

      Correct. James does not cover the topic of how a person is initially saved, but deals with how to walk in the faith. Catholics don't seem to understand that about James. James also has no mention of repentance or baptism.

      Protestants don't seem to understand that only a living faith gives you the salvation in combination with the faith in Jesus Christ. That is what the letter of James speaks about. Like in many other bible passages mentioned deeds of charity are recompensed by God. The conclusion of the letter of James is then human being isn't saved through faith alone. I don't know what is unclear here.

      @@dismas6992 No, Catholics still don't quite get it. Good works are the fulfilling of a person calling in Christ. Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." It's when you reject this calling is when your faith counts for nothing. James says the exact same thing as Jesus said in the parable of the talents. If you waste your salvation you are a "worthless servant". The worthless servant was fully saved by faith at the start, he just neglected his duty and was not justified in Jesus eyes for having done that.

      You don't get it. But at least you don't deny the free will of human being like some protestants do it.
      If the doctrine "faith alone" is true the letter of James wouldn't make any sense. Even Luther knew it. For this reason he described the letter of James as a straw epistle and would have liked to delete it from the canon of the bible, but then he just didn't dare.
      I really don't know how you connect the parabel of the master and useless servant in Matth. 25: 14 - 30 with the letter of James. This parabel is embedded in the end time sermons of Jesus Christ where he spoke about his returning with power and glory to held the final judgement about human being and the world. There is absolutely no connection to the letter of James. In this parabel the topic isn't whether good deeds of charity are necessary for the salvation or not. There is no single act of charity mentioned in this parabel so it doesn't say at all the same like the letter of James. The topic in this parabel is to be ready for the come back of Jesus Christ at any time as we don't know the time and hour of his returning. Furthermore it's not true that the useless servant is fully saved in contrary the master punished him for his wickness and lazyness and he lost the salvation because he wasn't faithful in small matters. Read the verses 12 and 13:
      "12 For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
      13 And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."
      This doesn't sound like saved at all but the opposite. You just proved with this parabel how wrong the doctrine "faith alone" is.
      If you look for bible passages which are related to the letter of James you just have to read the verses just after the parabel, the verses 31 - 46 of the same chapter.
      Here is written exactly the same like in the letter of James. Jesus helds in these bible passages the final judgement about the humans. The only criteria whether somebody goes to heaven or hell are the acts of charity NOT THE FAITH. Those who showed acts of charity in the earthly life are going to heaven those who didn't show acts of charity are going to hell. It is exactly what is written in the letter of James. So the bible clearly says we ARE NOT SAVED BY FAITH ALONE.

      As the falsities and depravities of the world escalate, so too will the faith of those who lead My Army.
      The churches will be persecuted. Namely, the Catholic Church and the House of Israel.
      Many will be pleased. These two religions will be tormented and every effort, both externally and within, will be made to eradicate any trace of either.
      There will be great rejoicing around the world when they have fallen.
      Many will consider them to be destroyed. People will then ignore their corpses.
      But this would be foolish. For they will rise again to form the New Heaven and the New Earth as the Gates of My Paradise are opened. No one can nor will destroy My chosen people on Earth.
      They may inflict pain, torture, death, and demolish the very buildings and temples set up by them to honour My Father.
      But, then they will rise and reclaim their rightful thrones, when they will reign with Me in Paradise.

Difficult to argue with as it is like dealing with people who have a terrible fear of daylight and can't see anything good about it. Sad.

      Protestants Do NOT Believe in Bible Alone (Sola Scriptura). If this is true, then Protestants should believe everything that is in the Bible, but do they? Indeed, they do not. will prove this with the Bible. (In the Bible No1. Christ says this is My Body This is My Blood. John 6:54-57: Protestants say NO! It is not His Body or Blood.) No2. (John 20:21-23: confess to one another, Protestants say NO! Do not confess your sins to another human.) No3. (In the Bible, it teaches that Christ founded a Catholic Church Matthew 16:18-19: So Protestants say NO! That Church is not the True Church; it is not Christian and it is the whore of Babylon.) No4. The Bible says you are NOT saved by faith alone. Let's read James 2:24: “See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.” Protestants say NO! You are justified by Faith Alone.) It is very obvious that Protestants interpret the scripture to meet their man made theology, they do not set their theology to believe the Bible.

    When going out to share the gospel I encounter quit a few Catholics. I ask them if they are going to heaven, and they usually reply "I hope so." I respond "you can be guaranteed salvation through Jesus Christ." There is no "purgatory" in the Bible. I lead by Jude 24 and the fear of hell. This is very convicting and opens the path to salvation. Some, when I mention that they no longer need to go to confessional, reject salvation. As a Christian, it is obvious that Catholics are confessing their sin to a priest who also sins! Go directly to the Lord to confess, repent and be forgiven. Some do not understand and end the conversation. Catholics do not have assurance of heaven, and this can result in salvation. Great vid.

      Purgatory is a term for a place of waiting before you get to heaven cos you were not quite holy Enough It is in Maccabees -- one of the 7 books excluded from the Bible less than 500 years ago by Protestants As for confession Jesus said "For those whos sins you forgive they are forgiven for those whose sins you retain they are retained" ...... God uses the ordained priest to communicate his decision to guide HIS people ... I feel so sorry for you. You listen to these anti Catholic hate preachers and do not understand the Catholic Faith - which started at Pentecost ... we do not Worship Mary ... nothing in Catholicism is contrary to the Bible .... Protestant King Henry VIII was responsible for Tyndales death ..... What was sad was that you did not read the bible whilst understanding Catholicism If you went to Catholic Mass you would hear the bible being read and explained ... 3 Church of England Bishops have become Catholic to get closer to Christ cos of the bible in just the last 3 years !!

      *R Catholicism has nothing to do with God and His Words. R Catholic Church contradicts Scriptures in every possible ways!*
      1. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But BIBLE says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner. Bible says Mary needed a Saviour. Lk 2:23-24, Lev 12:6-8, Rom 3:10.
      2. Catholics say clergies must be celibate. Yet BIBLE says Peter (supposed R Church first leader) had mother in law. Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39.
      3. Catholics say Mary was forever virgin. Yet BIBLE says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47.
      4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to GOD only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10.
      5. Catholics say drink of the physical blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26.
      6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet BIBLE says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19.
      7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. BIBLE says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5.
      8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians.
      9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet BIBLE says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18.
      10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”.
      11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10.
      12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10.
      13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6.
      14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it.

    What a wonderful, Loving, compassionate , POWERFUL God, Pastor John MacArthur serves, that brings all these millions of Catholics into this world, so He can place them into Hell, where John MacArthur "fears to go!" To bad, that he does read Romans 9: 15-16, “For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16) “It is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that show Mercy.” (Romans 9: 15-16). So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has then mercy. The point! We can not choose what resurrection we will be in! Neither can I, or John MacArthur, or all those Catholic, it is a matter of God's complete salvation and Mercy for everyone, but each in their own time!!!!!

    The Catholic Church tried to protect their unbiblical dogmas, and got away with it for a long time, by keeping the Bible inaccessible to common people. They kept it in a language the people couldn’t read and told the people that it was too complicated for them to understand. They taught the people that they needed the church to tell them what the scripture said. Never forget the great Christian Martyr William Tyndale and the sacrifice of everything, including his life, to bring God’s word to the common man. He said he would enable the plow boy to understand the scriptures better than the Pope. He was a truly selfless servant of God and every English speaking Christian owes him a great debt. At the very least he deserves for you to learn his story and to share it with your Christian Brothers and Sisters.

      Catholic Church and House of Israel will be persecuted
      Sunday, March 4th, 2012 @ 15:30
      My dearly beloved daughter, the time for the opening of the Seals, which will result in you opening the Seventh Seal, is almost upon you.
      Because of your prayers, much upheaval is being averted.
      You, My followers, are accepting My Cross and you will unite with the Immaculate Heart of My Mother, as you march towards My Glorious Kingdom.
      As the falsities and depravities of the world escalate, so too will the faith of those who lead My Army.
      The churches will be persecuted. Namely, the Catholic Church and the House of Israel.
      Many will be pleased. These two religions will be tormented and every effort, both externally and within, will be made to eradicate any trace of either.
      There will be great rejoicing around the world when they have fallen.
      Many will consider them to be destroyed. People will then ignore their corpses.
      But this would be foolish. For they will rise again to form the New Heaven and the New Earth as the Gates of My Paradise are opened. No one can nor will destroy My chosen people on Earth.
      They may inflict pain, torture, death, and demolish the very buildings and temples set up by them to honour My Father.
      But, then they will rise and reclaim their rightful thrones, when they will reign with Me in Paradise.
      Never reject God.
      Never reject His churches, for if you do you will be following the path of deceit to eternal damnation.
      Your Saviour,
      Jesus Christ

      @@XSD.1. *Roman Catholics are the most intellectually dishonest bunch of people.*
      ⭐Was Bible a Roman Catholic Book? ⭐
      The answer is No.
      Scriptures was written by Jewish Prophets and Jewish Christian APostles. Not Roman Catholics. By ad100s, all Scriptures of modern day Bibles were already in all churches. Jesus and APostles already called Scriptures "Scriptures" in their days. Believers did not have to wait 300 years for Scriptures to be "made inspired" or "called Scriptures" by Roman ct.
      ⭐Did Roman Church come up with a Universal Canon?⭐
      The answer is No.
      Roman ct merely compiled what was already there. Council of Rome (a local council) merely compiled it's own local canon. Roman ct's NT canon was merely one of many local canons in those days. Roman ct did not fix any Universal Canon. That requires Ecumenical Council with bishops of all churches. Nothing of such happened.
      ⭐Does Christian Bible come from Roman Catholic Bible?⭐
      The answer is No.
      Roman ct Bibles came from a Greek translation called LXX. Christian Bibles came from Hebrew OT. So why would Christian Bible be from Roman Catholics?
      ⭐Did Christians remove 7 books or did Roman Catholics added 7 books? ⭐
      Bible says Scriptures is of Jewish Origins. Romans 3:1-2. Not Roman Catholic origins. Jews till this day holds OT 39 books. Not Roman ct’s OT 46 books. Scriptures is always correct. So clearly pointing to Roman ct adding 7 books.

      Many Popes have been prisoners in the Holy See, surrounded by Masonic groups
      Monday, May 7th, 2012 @ 18:19
      My dearly beloved daughter, to My churches through the world I say this:
      Know that I will always be with you at your side, as long as you proclaim My Most Holy Word.
      To My Catholic Church, even though you caused torment as a result of evil sin, know that I will never forsake you, although you have sinned. But know this.
      Your faith in Me, is not as strong as it should be. You do not love Me, as you once did.
      All the wealth you accumulated, put a distance between Me, your Christ and Saviour and God’s ordinary children.
      You scaled such lofty heights, that I could not reach up to you and offer you My Hand to salvage you from the rot within your core.
      You were taught the Truth by My Peter, upon whose Rock you were built. And what did you do?
      You built thick stone walls around you.
      This caused a lack of communication with those whom you needed to feed with My Body and Blood, so that their souls could be nourished.
      The respect required of you in administering My Most Holy Eucharist, was lost, when you demeaned My Presence.
      When Vatican II declared new rules, they were introduced, by those evil Masonic forces, from within your corridors.
      They cunningly presented new ways to administer My Holy Eucharist, which are insulting to Me.
      Your so-called tolerant teachings proclaimed a series of lies, including the refusal to acknowledge the power of Saint Michael the Archangel.
      He is the protector of the Church against Satan. Those forces among you knew this. This is why you stopped all prayers, requesting his help, before Me at Mass.
      Then you perpetrated the biggest untruth, that Hell was not to be feared. That it was just a metaphor. For this lie, accepted as the Truth by many of God’s children, has meant the loss of billions of souls.
      How you offend Me. For those humble and sacred servants among you, I ask that you go back to My Teachings.
      Never allow riches to accumulate amongst you and think that they are acceptable in My Eyes.
      Riches, gold and power accumulated in My Name, will be your downfall. You cannot profit from My Holy Word.
      You have suffered because of the way you have offended Me.
      Never think that I Am blaming the many holy popes who have sat in the Seat of Peter. Their Mission has always been protected.
      Many popes have been prisoners in the Holy See, surrounded by Masonic groups, who do not represent God.
      They hate God and have spent fifty years spreading untruths, about the Mercy of God.
      Their works have led to the collapse of the Catholic Church.
      This was not an accident. It was deliberately and cunningly plotted in order to destroy the faith of the Church, to destroy the homage of ordinary Catholics, to the One True God.
      For this, you will now be cast aside into the wilderness. After Pope Benedict, you will be led by Me, from the Heavens.
      Oh how you have made Me weep.
      I call on all of My sacred servants, who know the Truth, to stand up and follow Me, your Jesus, to spread the Truth of My Teachings in humble servitude. You must find the courage and the strength to rise from the ashes.
      Above all, reject the lies, which will shortly be presented to you by the false prophet.
      He will merge the Catholic Church with other churches, including pagan churches, to become one abomination, a one world church without a soul.
      Your Jesus

So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian doctrine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did?

      He prepares false prophets to deceive God’s children so that they will accept the antichrist as their Jesus.
      This wickedness is difficult for you to comprehend but with the Gift I have given you to read souls you will know instantly who these false prophets are.
      They will always target you My daughter in the most devious ways for you will be their number one adversary. Yet, their lies, couched in what will seem to be like the Holy Words of God, hide the biggest lie of all.
      They will declare that the false prophet will be the true Pope.
      They will declare, subtly at first, that the antichrist will be Christ the King.
      When they seduce poor souls that their messages come from God, such souls will be none the wiser.
      I must warn all of God’s children. I will never come in the flesh the second time.
      I will not appear in the world as a leader. Nor will I, this time, perform miracles to prove to you who I am other than the miracle of The Warning and the miracle in the sky, which will be seen some time after The Warning takes place.
      The antichrist will claim he is Me. Jesus Christ. This abomination has been foretold.
      Who to believe children is no easy task for many will come in My Name. But know this.
      The evil one, through his false prophets, will never tell you to pray to the Holy Spirit or receive the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
      He will never admit that I, Jesus, the Son of Man came as the Messiah in the flesh to redeem man from sin.
      He will never ask or encourage you to say the Holy Rosary or show allegiance to My beloved Mother.
      Be on your guard. Stay awake and only follow My instructions.
      The evil one is trying to form an army amongst my followers. Although his other army is well established on earth he now targets those who believe in Me, your Jesus, because he wants to hide his evil deeds behind holy people.
      He will use their love for Me as a shield to hide the lies he intends to inflict upon the world.

    Why did God command the Jews to put statues and engravings on the ark of the covenant and Solomon’s temple? Seems God doesn’t have an issue with religious images, only worshipping them.

    I too was raised a Catholic, until…I actually seriously started to read the Bible. We can read in Scriptures that Lord Jesus commanded the Apostles to first preach the Gospel to the Jews, and after also to the Heathen or Gentiles (but never vise versa!). I found out in Scriptures who of the Apostles for the first time went to Rome .. and it wasn't Peter. In the Book of Acts it says in Chapter 28 the following: 16 "And when we came to Rome, the Centurion delivered the Prisoners to the Captain of the Guard: but Paul was allowed to live in a house, by himself, with a Roman Soldier that kept him. 17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the Chief of the there living Jews together: and when they came together, Paul said to them: "Men and Brethren, though I have committed nothing against our people, our customs, or against our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans 18 who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of guild in me. 19 But when the Jews spoke against that verdict, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had made any accusations against my Nation. 20 For this Hope (the Gospel of Jesus Christ) therefore I have called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because for the Hope of Israel I am bound with these chains. 21 The Chief of the Jews said to Paul: "We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the Brethren that came from there shewed or spoke any harm of you. 22 But we desire to hear of you what you think: for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere". The Roman Catholic Church claims that it was Peter who went to Rome first to preach the Gospel there first and that it was Peter who founded the Church there. Question: who lies? God,... or the Roman Catholic Church ? And what about the Letter in the Bible from Paul to the Congregation of Galatians where it says this in Chapter 2? From verse 7 we read the following: 7 "But on the contrary, when they saw that the Gospel of the Uncircumcision (Gentiles) was committed unto me, as the Gospel of the Circumcision (Jews) was unto Peter; 8 for He that gave Peter power effectively to the Apostleship of the circumcision (again: the Jews), the Same was Mighty in me toward the Gentiles. 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the Grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we (that are Paul and Barnabas) should go unto the Heathen, and they unto the Circumcision. Again dear Catholics: who lies? Gods Word, or the Roman Catholic Church? Bible, the book of Acts, Chapter 5, verse 29 : Then Peter and the other Apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey GOD - rather than man” !
    Since the Catholic 'church' claims to be well-read on scriptures, then please point me in the direction of where in the Bible it says to pray to a woman, or to a rosary. Please show me where it says to call a mortal sinful man (the Pope) your father. Please show me where the Bible says anything about purgatory, or paying indulgences (buying yourself into heaven?). Please show me where Mary was sinless or immaculately conceived. Please show me where it says to confess your sins to a man or that he may forgive them. Show me where it says the Pope is the “vicar of Christ” on earth. Show me where it says that a preacher must be unmarried. It was the ROMAN Emperor Constantinople who was in fact the first “Pope” and he didn't allow for the common people to have Bible Scriptures !

    ​ @bridgefin "Against Heresies" attributed to Irenaeus is a most blatant false attribution. In addition, "Against Heresies" destroys the chronology of the Pauline Epistles. Irenaeus was a supposed Presbyter and Bishop of the Church of Lyons. In the Church of Lyons, it was taught that Jesus was CRUCIFIED when an OLD man in the reign of Claudius or about 20 years AFTER the 15th year of Tiberius c 49 CE. The Pauline Corpus was UNKNOWN to the Church of Lyons since a Pauline writer claimed or implied he PREACHED Christ Crucified since the time of King Aretas c 37-41 CE. It is virtually impossible to TEACH in the CHURCH of Lyons that Jesus was crucified in the time of Claudius if they had knowledge and the HISTORY of Jesus and Paul.
    "Against Heresies" must be the work of MULTIPLE authors.
    The Canonised Gospels and Pauline Corpus are all LATE writings fabricated AFTER "Against Heresies" 2.22 or AFTER at least c 175-180 CE.
    "Against Heresies" 2.22 is a two-thousand word argument to attempt to show Jesus Christ was about 50 years old when he was crucified.
    "Against Heresies" 2.22 does NOT appear to be the product of "scribal error" since the author claimed John the disciple did TEACH that Jesus was about fifty years old.
    And NOT only that, the Gospel and ALL those conversant with John did claim that Jesus was about 50 years old when he suffered.
    Let me recap the claims of "Against Heresies" 2.22. at the crucifixion of Jesus
    1. John the disciple PREACHED Jesus was about 50 YEARS OLD.
    2. The Gospel stated Jesus was about 50 years old.
    3. All those who were conversant with John did admit they were told Jesus was about 50 years old.
    There is one thing that NOW must be established.

So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian doctrine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?

      The answer is No.
      Scriptures was written by Jewish Prophets and Jewish Christian APostles. Not Roman Catholics. By ad100s, all Scriptures of modern day Bibles were already in all churches. Jesus and APostles already called Scriptures "Scriptures" in their days. Believers did not have to wait 300 years for Scriptures to be "made inspired" or "called Scriptures" by Roman ct.
      ⭐Did Roman Church come up with a Universal Canon?⭐
      The answer is No.
      Roman ct merely compiled what was already there. Council of Rome (a local council) merely compiled it's own local canon. Roman ct's NT canon was merely one of many local canons in those days. Roman ct did not fix any Universal Canon. That requires Ecumenical Council with bishops of all churches. Nothing of such happened.
      ⭐Does Christian Bible come from Roman Catholic Bible?⭐
      The answer is No.
      Roman ct Bibles came from a Greek translation called LXX. Christian Bibles came from Hebrew OT. So why would Christian Bible be from Roman Catholics?

    *The generic words for worship in Hebrew and Greek both have the meaning of "prostrating".*
    Hebrew word for worship:
    shâchâh
    shaw-khaw'
    A primitive root; to depress, that is, prostrate (especially reflexively in homage to royalty or God): - bow (self) down, crouch, fall down (flat), humbly beseech, do (make) obeisance, do reverence, make to stoop, worship.
    Greek word for worship:
    προσκυνέω
    proskuneō
    pros-koo-neh'-o
    From G4314 and probably a derivative of G2965 (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): - worship.

Those who don't wish to do this should keep focus on being loving, moral people. Catholics are not your enemy and there are many evils to resist.
