That is purely an assumption that Pope Pius IX proclaimed in 1854, proving that the Pope makes mistakes like the rest of us human beings. NOTICE that he did not back it up with a single scripture. They still teach the SAME Jesus Christ, and the Same Holy Trinity as we do. So they have some errors in their doctrine; we have noticed that you do too. Ask yourself, WHY you want to hate Catholic Christians SO MUCH? Could it be that you find it easier to HATE, than the LOVE? I guarantee, that is not the only error you have fallen for. I tell you what, when we all get to heaven, you all come out back the Throne of Grace where my shack on the Crystal River will be, and we will all have a good laugh about everything we had wrong. Bring a fishing pole, those Crystal River trout, are bound to be the best fishing ever. :)

Probably Catch and Release Only. BUT hey no smell of fish guts on your hands that way. LOL
 
Its interesting that VCO hates it when we True Christians try to bring the Truth to the Catholics. In fact VCO claims by bring the Truth to the World is hatred!

They may still teach the same Jesus and the same Holy Spirit. But they do not teach the Truths from God. Its not about Jesus and the Holy Spirit, its all about teaching lies from the Catholic Church AS truths from God. Its all about the Catholics being deceived by the Catholic Church to believe there is nothing wrong with Praying to a statue or picture of Mary or Praying the Rosary to Mary.

Its all about the Catholics losing their rewards in Heaven!

I do not hate the Catholics, do i DO HATE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!!!!

In my opinion it is very evil!

I feel very sorry and sad for the Catholics because I want them to share with me that which I shall receive in Heaven.

In the first three Chapters of Revelation, JESUS CHRIST, recognizes SEVEN TYPES OF CHURCHES, five of which HE has "somewhat against". ONLY the Persecuted Church in Smyrna, and the Philadelphia Church, known for love for others and faithfulness, did HE not have any words of Condemnation for. THE POINT IS, Jesus Christ STILL recognized all Seven Types as being part of the ASSEMBLY HE IS BUILDING. Even the LUKEWARM Laodicean Church of today's easy believism "just accept Jesus as Savior" TV evangelism, will get a few genuinely saved. I guarantee you that the Catholic Church certainly is one of the SEVEN TYPES of Churches.

WHO ARE WE TO RECOGNIZE LESS?


So TELL ME how are you not like this man:

Luke 18:11-14 (HCSB)
[SUP]11 [/SUP] The Pharisee took his stand and was praying like this: ‘God, I thank You that I’m not like other people—greedy, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
[SUP]12 [/SUP] I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of everything I get.’
[SUP]13 [/SUP] “But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even raise his eyes to heaven but kept striking his chest and saying, ‘God, turn Your wrath from me—a sinner!’
[SUP]14 [/SUP] I tell you, this one went down to his house justified rather than the other; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

The Catholic Church is one of them!

Revelation 2:18-26 (NKJV)
[SUP]18 [/SUP] "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, 'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:
[SUP]19 [/SUP] I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.
[SUP]20 [/SUP] Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
[SUP]21 [/SUP] And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.
[SUP]22 [/SUP] Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.
[SUP]23 [/SUP] I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
[SUP]24 [/SUP] Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.
[SUP]25 [/SUP] But hold fast what you have till I come.
[SUP]26 [/SUP] And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations
 
I just received a greater definition of what it is that we protestants protest. It is not just Rome but it is all things Babylon. Babylon being the representation of one world government and one world religion that is of Satan.

I find that I like this definition and stand among their number.

Actually there will be a one Government rule of the World in the future! It was planned by God to have a one Government rule!

Revelation 20:1-6
[SUP]1 [/SUP] Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[SUP]2 [/SUP] He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
[SUP]3 [/SUP] and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.
[SUP]4 [/SUP] And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
[SUP]5 [/SUP] But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
[SUP]6 [/SUP] Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

EXACTLY, even the THYATIRA type of CHURCH is getting a few people SAVED and HE DOES NOT ORDER THEM TO FLEE THAT CHURCH, BUT RATHER TO HOLD FAST. WHY? Because their being there is being used to save a few more. Like I said, I know some on fire for the LORD, born again Catholics, and two of them are Priests.

But the false prophet who calls herself a prophetess sounds more like Joyce Meyer to me.
 
How can that be possible when the Catholics believe its by their "Works" that they receive Faith????
 
notuptome That is an interesting definition. Who in the world did you 'receive' it from? Just one small observation
I would like to mention. We dont have a one world government or a one world religion. As a Protestant I dont protest about Rome. I believe God is in control of things and must have a good reason for the catholic Church to be around whether we protest or not.
 
Mikehenderson. I am not a Catholic and I dont agree with some of their teachings. But I do wish that people on the site would get some idea of what they are objecting to. Your comment about Mary is ill informed try reading a book about Roman Catholiscism.

It was part of the Sunday school lesson taught to the adult class. I bring it up because Protestantism is more than opposition to the RCC. The RCC is certainly set on becoming the one world church. The RCC certainly is working with all of the worlds governments knowing that to have one world government there must be one world religion to unite all the peoples.

God has given to Satan power over the earth. Satan is the prince and power of the air. Eph 2:2. There is a spirit that worketh in the children of disobedience which we see in our governments.

God is glorified in all things. Evil people glorify God when they are condemned. Righteous people when they receive salvation.

Why would anyone want to read a book about Roman Catholicism when we have the Scriptures from God???????????????

Mary is Worshiped by the Catholics.

The Catholic Church teaches Divine Worship is for God only and regular Worship is for Mary and the Saints. This is how the Catholics get around Idolatry!

They are Worshiping Mary as a God, but its not a Divine God they are Worshiping! See how the Catholics sneak around God to justify their Worship of Mary!

I'm a Catholic and I have no idea what it is that you are ranting about. I don't worship Mary, I worship God.

In RCC lingo its sacraments. Sacraments to receive grace. Grace which God gives by faith through the hearing of His word. There is no grace through sacraments biblically speaking.
