Sounds problematic.

It is best to follow sound biblical doctrine and practices than to just simply accept the doctrine and practices of the various denominations without question. This is why I decided to not attend Catholic mass anymore or accept any of their teachings which obviously are contrary to scripture.

This is not to say though that those that identify as being Catholic are not Christians, have not received salvation, and are eventually, upon death, going to hell. I don't believe this as all and neither does scripture support this.

Then why is it written,, the "many" I know NOT?
Why is it the FEW, the little flock that are His Sheep?
Why are the "many" deceived
many are called and few chosen

there appears to be fewer followers then some believe

name one thing that Christ taught, they haven't changed
I am not talking about obvious things like "made heaven and earth",
doctrines like
hell
purgatory
going to heaven
trinity
sunday
easter
xmas
priest can't marry
confess to priests
no sex with protection
Mary queen of heaven

Rome is Satan's city
You don't believe in the Trinity? That's more troublesome than anything Rome teaches.

I agree with what you wrote here except a few things like Sunday worship-the day Christ rose (not pagan, early Christians did come together on Sunday)
Easter-resurrection day(not pagan to celebrate it)
Christmas-celebrating the birth or our Lord and Savior(don’t know the date but it’s not pagan or some thing like that)
Trinity-the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit(It’s biblical and found in scripture)
My question is what do you mean about “going to heaven”?

Geographically, the earth is the domain of Satan, and not just one city.

Welcome, XavierD284929! Catholics can be saved. I was raised a Catholic and I found Christ, though no thanks to the Catholic upbringing. By my way of thinking, The Catholic church is a cult so I can't imagine why a born again Christian would be desirous of becoming a Catholic. Many Catholics know a lot about Christ but they don't know or have a personal relationship with Christ. They're practicing religion v.s. walking with Jesus.
 
I've been really interested in being a Catholic lately i Dont know if its a bad thing but my grandma said as long they believe that Jesus is the son of god than That's not bad
Here's one major point to go with my first post.


What you mentioned that your Grandma believes is true concerning our faith in Jesus, however that is contrary to the official dogmas of the Catholic Church concerning salvation.
What do you want to believe?

The catholic changed the Sabbath to sunday
they changed Passover to easter
there is no instructions to celebrate Christ birth day
The trinity is not proven
nor is there an scripture stating any one will go to the 3rd heaven ever

2And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is:

it used to be in Pergamos now it is in Rome,

Good question, but first did you listen to the short videos? They might answer in detail.
Membership in a particular church does not add to salvation. Churches do not save, but Jesus does.
Most churches however have added a list of false works to faith in Christ. What we must do to be saved is to quit trusting in churches or anything/anyone besides Jesus Christ.

Q; Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
A: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved.
Acts 16:30

Uh you think Catholicism is worst than Islam?

That is all false. The early Christian’s came together on Sunday. That is the day Jesus was risen was on Sunday. I celebrate resurrection day on Easter Sunday. I celebrate Jesus’s birth in Christmas. I haven’t found any verses telling me I can’t. Most of these myths of these holidays being rooted in paganism has been debunked and I don’t understand how anyone can read the entire Bible and not see the Truine Godhead beginning in Genesis on to Revelation? The trinity is an essential part of the foundation of our Christian faith. Sound doctrine!
