A million lies on this earth and yet one truth! A million beliefs and yet one way to God! John 14:6

In the Bible, God gave these commandments to Moses: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3 - Notice the small "g"
Also: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." Exodus 20:7

WHY? BECAUSE HIS NAME IS ABOVE EVERY NAME!!! See Philippians 2:9

Yet God puts something above his name…. Hmmm… What could this be???

“FOR THOU HAST MAGNIFIED THY WORD ABOVE ALL THY NAME.”
(Psalm 138:2)

THE BIBLE IS HIS HOLY WORDS!!!
“…God is not a man, that he should lie;…” Numbers 23:19

GOD, In his words says:”…let God be true but every man a liar…” Romans 3:4

If anyone disagrees with God’s words – even an angel* >>> he is a liar!!!
*Galatians 1:6-12

GOD’S WORD IS FINAL!!!
Oh oh right away some faiths out there was just exposed as a lie… (ISLAM, MORMONS) why? These faiths claim an angel delivered a different message than the glorious gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ that’s why!!! However, this is another topic this information is about the Roman Catholic church!

Jesus said: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”*
When we stand before God, we will be judged by his word.**
BE SURE WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS GOD”S WORD AND IS IN GOD”S WORD!!! *Matthew 24:35 **John 12:48


Jesus said, “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME.” John 14:6
The Bible says that Jesus Christ is THE WORD of God.*
But did you know that Jesus warns us about another Christ? A very dangerous type of Christ at that…**
*John 1:1-2 **2 Cor. 11:3-4

Jesus said: …Take heed no that no man deceive you.” Matthew 24:4

Satan has twisted God’s words since the very first lie. Genesis 3:1-5
Satan sends false teachers among the people to twist the truth of God’s words into a lie.
Romans 1:25 & 2 Peter 3:16

In describing Satan, Jesus said, “He is a liar and the father of it.” John 8:44

Today Religious phonies claim to come in the name of Christ. Some even claim to be CHRIST!

Jesus said in Matthews 24:5 >>> “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”

They appear godly, and even come in His name. How many will they deceive? A billion people?

There have always been religious sharpies, wolves in sheep’s clothing,* who make merchandise** of the Lord’s work. They come so slick, so polished, that people never questioned them.
*Acts 20:28-30 **2 Peter 2:3

Jesus warned again: “… if any man shall say unto you, lo, here is Christ, or there;
BELIEVE IT NOT. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; Insomuch that if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:23-24

When we meet people deceived by these religious con men, WE MUST LOVE THEM ENOUGH TO TELL THEM THE TRUTH. James 5:19-20, Jude 3

After Jesus was taken back up into heaven, who did He send to take His place?
Jesus promised to send God, the Holy Ghost, to convict the world of sin.
John 16:7-8
What does the Holy Ghost do to Christian believers? The Bible says “…he will guide you into all truth…” John 16:13

NOW ARE YOU READY FOR THE BOMB THAT’S GONNA EXPLODE…

When Jesus prayed at the brook Cedron… He called to God, His Father in heaven, by a name so sacred that “it appears ONLY ONCE in the Scriptures. The term is “HOLY FATHER.” John 17:11

Now remember… The Bible says, “There is none righteous, no not one…”
Romans 3:10, 23

SOOOOOOO… now here comes the lie or shall I say lies!!!

The Roman Catholic pope:
-Calls himself “HOLY FATHER”* But this title belongs only to God, the Father in heaven.
-He sits as CHRIST** in the Vatican.
-And when he speaks ex cathedra, he speaks for God, in place of THE HOLY SPIRIT.***
This man is given, in essence, all the titles of the Triune Godhead combined.

*Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Harden, S.J., (1980), p. 253
**Ibid, p. 561
***Dogmatic Canons and Decrees (1912), p. 256.
See also John 14:26 and 16:13

NOW, ISN’T THAT JUST A LITTLE PRESUMPTUOUS?

Does he actually think he’s God? Remember… the popes are supposed to be infallible.*
Look at what they’ve said:
-Pope Innocent III: “He (the pope) judges all and is judged by no one.”**
-Pope Boniface VIII: “We declare, assert, define and pronounce: To be subject to the Roman pontiff is to every human creature altogether necessary for salvation.”***
-Pope Leo XIII: “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.”****



*When speaking on matters regarding faith or morals.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT A MAN WHO CALLS HIMSELF GOD?
See 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

Jesus says “many” will come in His name, pretending to be Christ. Matthew 24:5
And this is what the popes have done for centuries.!!!!!!

George W. Bush was asked when he looked into Benedict XVI’s eyes, what he saw and he replied, “God.”
EWTN News, April 11, 2008

Let me share something with you. In Roman Catholic theology a priest is “ALTER CHRISTUS,”* “ANOTHER CHRIST.”**
*Out of the Labyrinth by L.H. Lehman (1982), Pg. 7
**2 Cor. 11:2-4

All through history, hundreds of thousands of “Christs” have performed great signs and wonders worldwide. What are these great signs and wonders?

Roman Catholic doctrine* claims the priest is so powerful that he can, at his command, call Jesus Christ out of heaven.**
They believe Christ must leave the glories of heaven. They say that the Creator of all things (John 1:3, Ephesians 3:9) must obey the wishes of the priest… to humble Himself, to become a piece of bread, to be handled by this all powerful man-god the holy priest of Rome.
* Dogmatic Canons and Decrees, p. 81, “On the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist,” Canon I.
**The Dignity and Duties of the Priest by Liguori, Ch. 1, Part III.

Jesus Christ, King of kings, who will judge every lost soul at the Great White Throne judgement… is supposed to let himself be eaten by anyone the priest gives Him to. According to their theology the Roman Catholic priest is more than a god… “He is the creator of his Creator.” This is Roman Catholic doctrine. To deny it, is to be accused and damned as a heretic.
The Dignity and Duties of the Priest Ch. 1, Part IV



The Eucharist is the piece of bread that has been “changed” into Jesus Christ. The wafer is placed in the “tabernacle” on the Roman Catholic altar and worshipped as God.
Modern Catholic Dictionary, by John A. Hardon. S.J., pg. 530

According to Roman Catholic doctrine, Jesus Christ can be physically found in every Roman Catholic “Church,” world-wide.
THIS CONTRADICTS JESUS’ WORDS!
See Matthew 24:26

When the priest places the Eucharist (the wafer they claim is Jesus) in the monstrance…
Faithful Roman Catholics kneel before their Jesus to adore Him or kiss Him.
Dogmatic Canons and Decrees, p. 83, “On the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist,” Canon VI.

When Jesus was on the earth He gave this warning: “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not!” Matthew 24:23

Who are Roman Catholics to believe?
Their priests?... or Christ?

Why must the sacrifice of the mass go on and on? SURELY, Jesus wasn’t lying when He said: “… IT IS FINISHED…” John 19:30 & Matthew 27:50
God’s Word says: “For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands… but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:” Hebrews 9:24
“Nor yet that he should be offer himself often…”* ”…So Christ was ONCE offered to bear the sins of many…”** “But this man, after he had offered ONE sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God”***
*Hebrews 9:25-26
**Hebrews 9:28
***Hebrews 10:11-12

GET THE POINT?

Jesus’ sacrifice for sin, almost 2,000 years ago at Calvary, was perfect. There is nothing you or any church can do to improve on it! In fact, the Bible, God’s Word, says that we are not to crucify the Son of God afresh and put Him to an open shame. Hebrews 6:4-6

BUT… through the mass, Satan thought up a way to show Jesus as a continually dying Saviour, or a “DEAD CHRIST.”

Jesus said, His sacrifice was finished and God’s Word says it is never to be repeated. By participating in mass, you are calling God a liar!

GOD HATES THE ROMAN CATHOLIC MASS!!!
You face a very important decision. Your eternal destiny depends on it. God’s HOLY WORD will judge you when you stand before the Lord Jesus Christ.

WILL YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE GOD… or men?

If Roman Catholic teaching disagrees with God’s Holy words, it is wrong in God’s eyes!
Jesus said: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15
God’s word says: “To obey is better than sacrifice” 1 Samuel 15:22

These false Christs had to come to fulfill prophecy. ANTICHRIST, means “one who takes the place of Christ,” a very, religious person who deceives billions into losing their souls!!! Many Roman Catholics are sincerely trying to please God. But if you are not serving God according to His Word you will be sincerely lost. That is why this false religious system is so evil!

Jesus is “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

Jesus hates this false religious system. It has blasphemed His Holy Name, His Holy Word, and has deceived billions of people.
Jesus calls her THE MOTHER OF ABONIMATIONS and has promised to utterly destroy her, and all those with her. (See Rev. 17.)
But He loves you enough to warn you, and calls you to Himself.”
Jesus says: “Come out of her, my people, `that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Revelations 18:4

I am not a Catholic, and I agree to everything he said. The infomation he presented can be had simply through Google. Ask the "Vicar of Christ" who he thinks he is and he will tell you, "In place of Christ". That is the Latin for, "anti Christ", the language the Catholic church speaks. I can go on, but this is his tread.

The only thing novel about tearing down the great Harlet who sold her birthrights for substance, is that not enough of people help God's own to come out of her.

A million lies on this earth and yet one truth! A million beliefs and yet one way to God! John 14:6

In the Bible, God gave these commandments to Moses: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3 - Notice the small "g"
Also: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." Exodus 20:7
You failed to mention the rosary and its blasphemies: (When it refers to "me", it isn't
speaking about Christ Jesus but Mary)

The 15 Promises

(Given to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan by the Blessed Virgin)
  1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive powerful graces.
  2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.
  3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
  4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
  5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
  6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
  7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.
  8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise.
  9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
  10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
  11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
  12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
  13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.
  14. All who recite the Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ.
  15. Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
Benefits of the Rosary

  1. It gradually gives us a perfect knowledge of Jesus Christ.
  2. It purifies our souls, washing away sin.
  3. It gives us victory over all our enemies.
  4. It makes it easy for us to practice virtue.
  5. It sets us on fire with love of Our Lord.
  6. It enriches us with graces and merits.
  7. It supplies us with what is needed to pay all our debts to God and to our fellow men; and finally, it obtains all kinds of graces for us from Almighty God.
Blessings of the Rosary

  1. Sinners are forgiven.
  2. Souls that thirst are refreshed.
  3. Those who are fettered have their bonds broken.
  4. Those who weep find happiness.
  5. Those who are tempted find peace.
  6. The poor find help.
  7. Religious are reformed.
  8. Those who are ignorant are instructed.
  9. The living learn to overcome pride.
  10. The dead (the Holy Souls) have their pains eased by suffrages.
I made bold, the references where Mary supposedly calls Jesus "her Son", NOT LORD,
but Son. In this relationship, their version of Mary has authority over Jesus.
But real Christians know that Mary is not saying any of this and would have no part in this.

Ask the "Vicar of Christ" who he thinks he is and he will tell you, "In place of Christ". That is the Latin for, "anti Christ", the language the Catholic church speaks. I can go on, but this is his tread.
Greek in fact, of which the Romans are not traditionally fond. The Latin ante means something different.

Lol I think somebody needs to look up what a straw-man is. Sounds to me like pretty accurate info backed up by blatant evidence.

Every other Christian: why do you pray to saints?

Catholic: Cause the Bible doesn't say not to....

Every other Christian: Doesn't the Bible preach against spiritism and say that the only way to reach God is through His Son???

Catholic:.....................

Every other Christian: Why do your leaders have secret archives that they wont even let their own church members read?

Vicar of Christ is Latin. Vicar means substitute, in place of. The Greek word "anti" (G473) has the same meaning as "Vicar" in Latin. The Greek word G500 "antichristos", would be said in Latin as "vicaor of Christ".
I did mean "ante" by no means, but "vicar".

i left catholicism and i can agree with hermanodaniel; i still attend a roman catholic school which now kinda feels bad because when we had mass it felt really fake and not very good, and all these 'rites' and such to get your sins cleansed and that a priest interposes for God or Jesus are absurd!

It's from a Chick tract if you look at the bottom of his post, and Chick is known for not fact checking at best and blatant lies at worst. Just reading the thing I spotted multiple errors in what Chick said the Church taught and then he proceeded to tear down something we don't teach, hence straw-man.

Discussed ad nauseam on a number of threads.

Catholic:.............
You mean these "secret archives"? Sito ufficiale dell'Archivio Segreto Vaticano – Citt del Vaticano | Archivio Segreto Vaticano

In the sense "secret" is used here it means private. Any scholar can access the archives, all they need to do is file a request.

Vicar of Christ is Latin. Vicar means substitute, in place of. The Greek word "anti" (G473) has the same meaning as "Vicar" in Latin. The Greek word G500 "antichristos", would be said in Latin as "vicaor of Christ".
I did mean "ante" by no means, but "vicar".
Vicarius can mean substitute but it also means proxy or deputy and in this particular usage it's taken to mean proxy. Also Latin adopted the prefix "anti" from Greek and antichrist in Latin would simply be antichristus or translated literally into Latin without a Greek loanword "contra Christus"

I went to a Catholic church full of idolatry and a priest who knew tradition but knew not the Lord and the Holy Spirit was grieved, I was shocked! figured I could worship anywhere where Christ is Lord. When the priest kissed and bowed down to the statue I was offended to a level kind of shocked me. Then 2 years later I went to another Catholic church in a small reservation, The Holy Spirit was happy there. I don't know what was different about that little church or its priest but I felt at peace in worship there. I do agree with all that you've posted. We should all study Gods word and ensure our Church is actually based in Gods word and not mans tradition. I don't think its a deal breaker though, every man fails, only God is unfailing and they do state Jesus Christ is LORD! praise you Lord! :) I thank God for my husband who grew up in the Catholic Church but later spent time studying his bible and walked away peacefully and onto his own personal relationship with our precious Lord. Without mediation.

In my opinion, there is no perfect church or denomination. I am reminded of this:

[1] "Judge not, that you be not judged.
[2] For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get.
[3] Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
[4] Or how can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye?
[5] You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. Matt 7:1-7 RSV

Why must the sacrifice of the mass go on and on? SURELY, Jesus wasn’t lying when He said: “… IT IS FINISHED…” John 19:30 & Matthew 27:50
God’s Word says: “For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands… but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:” Hebrews 9:24
“Nor yet that he should be offer himself often…”* ”…So Christ was ONCE offered to bear the sins of many…”** “But this man, after he had offered ONE sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God”***
*Hebrews 9:25-26
**Hebrews 9:28
***Hebrews 10:11-12

GET THE POINT?

Jesus’ sacrifice for sin, almost 2,000 years ago at Calvary, was perfect. There is nothing you or any church can do to improve on it! In fact, the Bible, God’s Word, says that we are not to crucify the Son of God afresh and put Him to an open shame. Hebrews 6:4-6

BUT… through the mass, Satan thought up a way to show Jesus as a continually dying Saviour, or a “DEAD CHRIST.”

Jesus said, His sacrifice was finished and God’s Word says it is never to be repeated. By participating in mass, you are calling God a liar!

GOD HATES THE ROMAN CATHOLIC MASS!!!
You face a very important decision. Your eternal destiny depends on it. God’s HOLY WORD will judge you when you stand before the Lord Jesus Christ.

WILL YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE GOD… or men?

If Roman Catholic teaching disagrees with God’s Holy words, it is wrong in God’s eyes!
Jesus said: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15
God’s word says: “To obey is better than sacrifice” 1 Samuel 15:22

These false Christs had to come to fulfill prophecy. ANTICHRIST, means “one who takes the place of Christ,” a very, religious person who deceives billions into losing their souls!!! Many Roman Catholics are sincerely trying to please God. But if you are not serving God according to His Word you will be sincerely lost. That is why this false religious system is so evil!

Jesus is “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

Jesus hates this false religious system. It has blasphemed His Holy Name, His Holy Word, and has deceived billions of people.
Jesus calls her THE MOTHER OF ABONIMATIONS and has promised to utterly destroy her, and all those with her. (See Rev. 17.)
But He loves you enough to warn you, and calls you to Himself.”
Jesus says: “Come out of her, my people, `that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Revelations 18:4

Wow......

So we are to turn a blind eye to false doctrine as long as someone acknowledges Jesus in some
form or fashion? Paul never did that.
Mat 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Fruit of the spirit?
Mat 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Those people were not even saved, but they cast out devils. From a human point of view,
those people would have appeared to be very Holy and right with God, since they could
cast out devils. But they were not saved.

The Papacy are the one who changed the sabbath from the 7th day to the first.
[FONT=&quot]
"Question: How prove you that the Church hath power to command feasts and holy days?[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]"Answer: By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of; and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same Church" ("An Abridgement of Christian Doctrine", p 58, by Henry Tuberville. New York, Kenedy, 1833 approbation).[/FONT]



[FONT=&quot]"Question: Which is the Sabbath day? "Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath. "Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 336) transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday" ("The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine", p 50, by Peter Geiermann, London, 1934. Sanctioned by the Vatican, Jan. 25, 1910).[/FONT]
this isn't actually true...it is just that the roman catholic church likes to take credit for it sometimes...

That actually is true
i have shown before how worship on sunday was established long before that council...as early as the first century...

adventists claim that the council didn't have the authority to change the day...roman catholics claim that the council did have the authority to change the day...

but the truth is that the council -didn't- change the day anyway...the change had already been made

It was changed by the pagan emperior Constantine who became the first pope in honor of his sun god
