-THE CHURCH OF ROME
Greetings in these last hours of Earth's History. I would like to offer in this dissertation as a short list of facts that may help some Roman Catholic better their faith and bring them into a closer walk with Christ.
Most Catholics I run across are unaware of these church documents, articles, excerpts, doctrines and facts do exist and do illustrate the need for reform in the hearts of the Catholic people. I would first like to point out one simple and easy to remember fact that all of us can use in evangelizing people that claim Christ Lord the world over. For some strange reason many are taught to proclaim that Peter was the first Pope. However, most are totally unaware of one simple historic fact that blows this theory so far out of the water it actually amazes me how devoted Catholics miss this. The title "Pontifex Maximus" or "Pontiff" is not unique to the Pope's of the Roman catholic church at all. In fact, historic record declare that these titles were first used by the Caeser's of the Pagan Empire of Rome and not the Roman Catholic Popes or eve Peter the Apostle himself.
| The Oxford English Dictionary provides the following as the definition of the term, Pontifex Maximus: Pontifex 1. Roman Antiquity. A member of the principal college of
priests in ancient Rome (Pre-Christian paganism Ed.), the head of which
was the Pontifex Maximus or chief pagan priest." The Columbia Encyclopedia - Fifth Edition defines Pontifex Maximus as:
"The highest priest of Roman religion and official head of the college
of pontifices. As the chief administrator of religious affairs he
regulated the conduct of religious ceremonies, consecrated temples and
other holy places, and controlled the calendar. During the time of the
empire, and until Christianity became firmly established, the emperor
was designated pontifex maximus. After the SUPREMACY of Christianity, the popes assumed the title." The Catholic Encyclopedia: |
The Popes and prelates of Rome call Peter the first Pope. Yet we see that the Caeser's were actually called "Pontifex Maximus" or "Pontiff" as well. That means since Rome was still in power at the time of Jesus, as well as when our Lord made the following statement to Peter, how is it possible for Peter to be holding the title Pontifex Maximus, or Pontiff, while Caesar still lived? Jesus said in Matthew 16:18, "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
Did Jesus and Peter kill Caeser, overthrow Rome, and place Peter on a throne? No, of course not. Still, to this day many Catholics are unaware of just how easy it is to illustrate that someomne in the Vatican itself is not being very truthful with their people. So, with that in mind I would like to get back to the real reason I mentioned this fact. It has to do with the verse I just shared that many Catholic are taught to use to solidify their "reasoning" as to why they think Peter was the first Pope.
The Catholic church always quotes this verse to claim Peter as Pope. Regardless of the facts laid out in easy to research historic records. Regardless of the fact that it is also recorded that the Church of Rome did not officially start until "Vigilius...ascended the papal chair (538 A.D.) under the military protection of Belisarius." -History of the Christian Church, Vol. 3, p. 327
This also proves Peter could not have been the first Pope simply because he would have to be well over 500 years of age in order to sit as Pope when the Church began "officially" in 538AD. So, with this verse in mind, specifically the latter part that has Jesus speaking of "His" church in such a way that declares it as one that "the gates of hell shall not prevail against." Let me remind everyone of a particular admission of guilt that was brought forth on March 12, 2000 by Pope John Paull II himself. Out of his own mouth he declares his church cannot possibly be the church that Scripture states was started by Jesus Christ. Note the following...

POPE TO ASK FORGIVENESS FOR PAST FAULTS OF CHURCH'S CHILDREN
VATICAN CITY, MAR 7 (ZENIT.org).- On March 12, the first Sunday of Lent, John Paul II will publicly ask the Lord's forgiveness for past and present faults of the children of the Church. ...This morning, Bishop Piero Marini, Pontifical Master of Ceremonies, explained the meaning of this Day of Forgiveness in the Vatican Press Office. He explained that "in all generations the holiness of the Church has shined forth, witnessed by an incalculable number of her children; nonetheless, the Church suffers from the contradiction of the presence of sin, which has continued to weigh down in the road of the people of God. ...For the first time in history, John Paul II will confess the sins committed by Christians through the centuries." ...Specifically, he will admit the sins committed in the service of truth: intolerance and violence against dissidents; religious wars; violence and abuses of the Crusades; and violent methods of the Inquisition. ...The Holy Father will also express the repentance of Christians for the sins committed in relation to the people of Israel: contempt, acts of hostility, and silences.-ZE00030709 |
There is one more point I want to make clear that I feel many have overlooked. It is actually yet another admission by the Pope to the fact that the Roman Catholic church is indeed the very entity that Jesus prophesied would come against the Children of God. Not only is the Pope openly admitting to being the leader of the very Church that Prophecy said Antichrist would use to kill over 500 million Christians; the pope also said in the above article that he is confessing the sins of the past, specifically "... the sins committed in the service of truth" Notice what Jesus says in John 16:2. When speaking of those that will persecute and kill His followers, Jesus says, "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service."
In this confession on March 12, I see an open admission of prophetic fulfillment by the very culprit of that fulfillment. The Pope is actually admitting that his church did exactly as Jesus prophesied the church of Antichrist would do to the Biblical church of Jesus Christ in the latter days. It was prophesied that this church would kill the Christians and think they were doing God's work while doing so. The Pope said that he is confessing the sins committed in "the service of truth" did he not? Is this not prophetically sound? All praise be to a God of such overwhelming accuracy.
To further make it easier to illustrate this prophetic point, please understand that Jesus did say in Matthew 16:18 that the gates of hell will never prevail against his church. In other words, the church of Jesus Christ would never be one to step forward proclaiming itself as one filled with sin and decadence and certainly not one that would kill His followers. The church of Jesus Christ would never proclaim to have a history of murder, rape, molestation, drunkenness, fornication, idolatry, and mayhem. The church of Jesus Christ would never step forward and proclaim that they are the ones that killed 500 Million of His followers. Fact is, the Biblical church of Jesus Christ would be those that were murdered, raped, and molested throughout history. It is the Church of Jesus Christ that is persecuted, not the one doing the persecution. So, again I ask, would the church of Jesus Christ have one of it's leaders step forward to say what the Cardinal Ratzinger who later becomes Pope Benedict XVI says?

SIN IS PART OF CHURCH'S HISTORY
VATICAN CITY, MAR 7 (ZENIT.org).- ... CARDINAL JOSPEH RATZINGER. The Bavarian Cardinal was presenting the document, "Memory and Reconciliation: The Church and the Faults of the Past," written by the International Theological Commission. ... the Cardinal said, "Our history is one of rebellions and sins, we do not ask for forgiveness to condemn others, but to know ourselves and to open to our brothers."-ZE00030708 |
These articles prove once again they know not the Lord of the Bible. How do I know not our Lord? Notice what Jesus says in John 16:2-3. I already shared verse #2 above, but notice what Jesus says after sharing verse 2. Jesus said, "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me."
How I ask can the Roman Catholic church be the church of Jesus Christ when #1, their titles were first used by Roman Pagans and still in use by Caesar when Jesus visited us and how can they be the church that "the gates of hell will not prevail" when both John Paul II and his Cardinal Ratzinger admit the gates of hell did prevail wherein they kill millions of Christians?
Bottom line is this. Either you believe Jesus Christ or you believe the Popes. You can't believe both. Jesus said those that hate Him and His people would do what the Popes just admitted doing. Is this not a gospel of CoNfUsIoN we find in Rome? Are not the foul feathers of the Cardinals of Rome openly spewing falsehoods against the Real Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords on a daily basis? Jesus says one thing, they say quite the opposite! How much longer will the children of God trapped in this church as well as the churches she influences stand still for this? How long will they believe these lies from hell?
Have you also noticed this as well? For as long as I can remember the Roman Catholic church has always proclaimed abortion a sin, has it not? For as long as I can recall they have always preached against abortion and have told billions that it is outright murder. Or am I mistaken?

POPE SOLEMNLY ASKS FORGIVENESS FOR PAST FAULTS OF CHURCH'S CHILDREN

Sad fact is, there are many Roman Catholic Hospitals all over the world that still perform abortions. Notice the following articles:

"In response to his critics, Ryan said, "They're not there when I have to look in the mirror in the morning, and be honest with myself. They don't have to live my decisions the way that I have to do. And I think it's very presumptuous of them to claim to know what's in my heart." This
Mother of Four Was Fired From a Catholic Hospital Because of Her Pro-Life Views
Catholic
hospitals commit – and U.S. bishops condone – live-birth abortion The news was a real bummer. A reporter named Tom Szyszkiewicz, who writes for the Catholic publications, Our Sunday Visitor and the National Catholic Register, was calling to tell me he had discovered two Catholic hospital systems were committing the induced-labor abortion procedure – live-birth abortion – on handicapped babies. The bad news warped to bizarre when Szyszkiewicz said these hospitals were waiting until babies were 23 to 26 weeks gestation before aborting them – i.e., until they were of viable age – so they could say these weren't abortions at all, but simply labor inductions and, thus, sanctioned by the Catholic Church. "That's crazy," I thought. Most hospitals I'm aware of that commit LBA do just the opposite: They make sure to abort babies before 23 weeks – the most recent viability cutoff date according to the American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics – to avoid the ethical and legal dilemmas of deciding whether to resuscitate a baby they just tried to kill. The Catholic hospitals' abortion strategy seemed even more risky when taking the Born Alive Infants Protection Act into account. It states that live-born babies, no matter what their gestational age or circumstances of birth, are "persons." According to the 14th Amendment, "persons" born in the United States are automatic citizens who cannot be "deprive[d] ... of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor den[ied] ... equal protection of the laws." This means live-aborted babies can't be cast aside to die in hospital soiled utility rooms, or drowned in buckets of water, or sealed to suffocate in biohazard bags. They must be medically assessed and cared for just like wanted babies. Last week, I contacted both hospital systems to make sure I wasn't missing something. I wasn't. Loyola Health System in Chicago, and Providence Health System on the West Coast and Alaska, both commit live-birth abortion. But they don't like the word, "abortion." They call what they do, "early induction of labor." Webster's Dictionary defines abortion as, "the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus." So now "termination of pregnancy" is called "early induction of labor." Euphemisms ... what would abortion proponents do without them? Other Catholic hospitals may also be involved. Szyszkiewicz reported in the March 7, 2004, Our Sunday Visitor that Providence is the 10th largest U.S. Catholic health system, and "spokespersons for the other nine ... were either vague about their hospitals' practices or did not return calls." Loyola and Providence say they are acting in accordance with the 2001 U.S. Bishops' Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services that states, "For proportionate reason, labor may be induced after the fetus is viable." Theologian James LaGrye from the bishops' doctrinal office said the term "proportionate" is used "for situations in which some grave risk would be incurred if an action were not taken to avoid it," wrote Szyszkiewicz, who added, "LaGrye said the mental health of the mother 'is a reason' to perform early induction." In addition to having "mental health" concerns, Fr. Jack O'Callahan, staff ethicist at Loyola, said they are trying "to ward off the physical complications of bringing to term a child who is not going to live anyway." But, euthanizing one's handicapped child is not the solution to maintaining mental health, nor do handicapped babies normally spread voodoo vibes to make their mothers sick. What about the physical and mental complications of abortion? Even fatally ill babies, left to develop until term, give their mothers the gift of lowering their risk of breast cancer. Contrarily, mothers who abort dramatically increase their risk. Aborting mothers also stand a much greater chance of ending up in hospital high-risk maternity departments next time they get pregnant. Their forcibly stretched cervixes will have difficulty keeping subsequent babies inside until full term. But I digress. The Aug. 19 New England Journal of Medicine reported that the smallest known surviving preemie just celebrated her 15th birthday. In 1989, Madeline Mann was born at Loyola Hospital at 27 weeks, weighing 9.9 ounces. She is now a violin playing, roller-blading, high-school honor student. Doctors at Loyola delivered Madeline early by Caesarean section after determining she might fare better in their care than in her mother's uterus. Oh, the irony.
NOTICE: |
Need I say more? Think of it. For decades this church has preached against abortion, for decades they have called preachers like me and many of my brothers and sisters in Christ liars when we would step forward with documentation on the abortions in this church. And now we see them admitting they did it? So in essence, they lied. They lied for hundreds of years in fact. On every subject that was asked that would incriminate them, they simply lied. Do you know what this means? Literally billions of trusting Catholics have gone to their graves over hundreds of years believing that all those "fundies" or "catholic bashers" as we are called by their leaders, were cultist liars. Billions have gone to rest in the ground believing they were in the church of Jesus Christ because they trusted their leaders that lied to them. March 12, 2000 confirmed that they were lying and it was their very own Pope and Cardinal that confirmed it. They not only lied about the evidence we had against them in reality; they lied about the Biblical facts we present as well. Yet another proof of the gates of hell prevailing in a very graphic sense of the word.
The sin the Almighty detests the most is lies. The sin that was first used against the Almighty in heaven as well as in Eden was in fact lies. And as we can see this very same sin is still favored and used by its father here on earth. And who is that? John 8:44 says, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
Understand that Antichrist is of this world, and he has been since he was cast here long ago. Also understand that he will have an organization on this planet that will do as prophecy declared it to do. The Prophecy of the Christian Bible has already been proven 100% accurate in regards to this very point. At present we the students of prophecy have compiled literally thousands of printed pages on and offline proving that all the prophecies that speak of the beast, his desires, his actions, and his plans have been fulfilled exactly as the Word said they would. Plus, they were fulfilled in the exact year that each prophecy declared it to be fulfilled. Not only is our God 100% accurate to the event, He is also 100% accurate to the date as well.
Below is shared a small list of questions you may want to ask your parish priest. Seeing how they claim to be your religious leaders and ones that have studied the Bible their entire lives so as to better educate you, their flock. asking them Bible questions should not be out of the ordinary for you and they should not be a problem for them to answer. Ask them to show you in the Bible where the doctrines of the church (listed below) are found in the Bible.
PLEASE NOTICE however that they will be totally unable to do so. Because of that fact, some "might" go even go so far as to twist a Bible passage here and there to try and make upwards of only 10% or maybe even15% of these "traditions" to be of Christian Truth. But when you investigate the ENTIRE meaning of the passages they give, you will find many errors in their theology. And no, you do not need to be a theologian to understand the Bible. In fact, it says in 2 Timothy 3:15, "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." That's right! Timothy understood the Word of God as a child like any child can. Truth is, how is it that God can create all that is seen and unseen but somehow can't write a Bible His own children can understand? The Bible is VERY easy to understand if you just pray and ask the Lord to enlighten you in His Word.
As for priests taking Bible verses out of context to make it appear as if certain doctrines are of God, all you need to do is read the verse BEFORE AND AFTER the verses they give to understand what's really being said by your God. Cross reference them as well so as to solidify it in your mind that the Truth you realize is actually found in the Bible of the God you loved.
Problem with Catholic theology is that it cannot be verified in cross referencing of Bible verses. The Bible can only confirm truth throughout its pages. It cannot sanction or even validate lies. A "twisted" theology can only be backed up by man's traditions, lies, opinions, and ideals. That is why Catholicism uses heavy explanations to every utterance they preach. They cannot use heavy verses that embrace that which they speak simply because they cannot get that many verses out of context on the same subject without being found out by even babes in Christ. So they opt rather to dazzle you with fancy words, shallow lies, pretty phrases, pomp and circumstance along with Latin phrases that are designed as self glorifying holy utterances. However, it is written that the Elect CANNOT be deceived. So don't worry... if you truly seek truth, you will find it.
So... ask them. Where is this in the Bible? And remember! Isaiah 8:20 says, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

If you would really like to know where these "traditions" originated first, you would do well to investigate the "PAGAN BABYLONIAN SYSTEM OF IDOLATRY" of ancient times. I am sure you can find literally millions of bits of information online. It is here that you will see the rock hard evidence you require to understand who it is the Roman Catholic church Popes and prelates truly worship. For a partial list of my findings thus far on this topic...(click here). This list is subject to massive growth as my research continues, so stop by frequently.
By the way, the main reason the Bible was placed on the list of "forbidden books" by the council of Valencia in 1229 AD is because MANY people were opening their Bibles back then to find that most of these "traditions of men" and "doctrines of demons" that the Catholic church calls holy are warned of in Scripture as deadly to the souls of anyone that embrace them. The Catholic church realized that whenever people did in fact get their hands on a Bible, and read it, they would sooner or later leave the Church of Rome and then the Popes would lose power as well as the much needed "donations" granted them via the people. So, they condemned the Bible to be in the hands of anyone that was not of the clergy and promoted the lie that only Roman prelates with many years of education could understand the Scripture. They also declared at the same time that anyone that did have a Bible in 1229 that refused to give it up to be burned would be burned alive in its place. On March 12, 2000 the Pope and many of his Bishops, Cardinals, Priests, and leaders in the church stepped forward and admitted that this is accurate documented historic fact. They did do this. They did admit they killed people for trusting the Bible over them. For a quick look at this "so called" mea culpa (apology) of Rome just search online for "Mea Culpa John Paul II."
By the way... ONE POINT TO PONDER...
Do you realize that the Pagan infiltration of the Roman Catholic church is not a secret to it's leaders? Do you realize that? They actually understand, admit, and even welcome the infiltration! Here's the well documented and undeniable proof...
Cardinal Newman admits in his book that; the "The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison [Note 17], are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church. {374}" -An Essay on The Development of the Christian Doctrine John Henry "Cardinal Newman" p.359 The penetration of the religion of Babylon became so general and well known that Rome was called the "New Babylon." -Faith of our fathers 1917 ed. Cardinal Gibbons, p. 106 "Confiding then in the power of Christianity to resist the infection of evil, and to transmute the instruments and appendages of demon worship to an evangelical use... the rulers of the church from early times were prepared should occasion arise, to adopt, or imitate, or sanction the existing rites and customs of the [Pagan] populace." -Development of Christian Doctrine, Cardinal Newman. p. 372 |
It appears yes, they are very aware. Now for something you should not read outloud around children!
| Excerpts from the actual Roman Catholic~ "JESUIT OATH" NOTICE: The Jesuit Oath of Induction is also recorded in the Congressional Record of the U.S.A. (House Bill 1523, Contested election case of Eugene C. Bonniwell, against Thos. S. Butler, Feb. 15, 1913, pp. 3215-3216) It can also be found in the book entitled, "Subterranean Rome" by Charles Didier translated from the French and published in New York in 1843. Dr. Alberto Rivera escaped from the Jesuit Order in 1967 I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants' heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus. |
You present Pope (Francis) took this oath to become a Jesuit priest many years ago! Anyone with a literal mustard seed of the faith in Jesus Christ within them knows full well that this oath proves beyond a shadow of a doubt to be an oath of blood. How can anyone claiming Jesus as Lord remain in this church after reading the oath some of their church leaders have taken and have sworn to live by? It's a simple question...HOW?
Here is another section of that very same oath. It's a series of questions asked by the "soon to be Jesuit priest" by his superior...
|
Question---From whither do you come? Q.---Whom do you serve? Q.---Who commands you? Q.---Who received you? Q.---How? Q.---Did you take an oath? Q.---Will you do that? Q.---How do you travel? Q.---Whither do you travel? Q.---For what purpose? Q.---Go ye, then, into all the world and take possession of all lands in the name of the Pope. He, who will not accept him as the Vicar of Jesus and his Viceregent on earth, let him be accursed and exterminated." |
Did you notice this statement made? The "soon to be Jesuit priest" says he will follow his oath as a "a corpse without any opinion or will of my own" How many times is this Church going to admit its alegiance with hell before people realize just how blunt this all is? Now do you see why prophecy says this church will be exposed as evil right before Jesus returns? There's just way too much evidence out there now for them to hide.
Make special note that Jesus declared in Matthew 23:27, "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness." And now we see the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests embracing as holy what Jesus described as evil? They rather bluntly proclaim themselves in the above oath as a man of death do they not? And does this not describe them as a corpse? Without opinion? Without his own will? Do you realize what they are actually describing? The ultimate SATANIST!
The God of the Bible wants worship enacted by our free will. Satan on the other hand will demand worship by his will, which is always done by force! The devil controlling Rome is just as unmerciful with those it controls as with those it seeks to kill. Fact is, it looks to kill all from within and without this church. Rome is actually the masterpiece of Satan. The synagogue of Satan. Not only will those giving, and taking these oaths burn. But those acknowledging this church to be of Christ will burn. For Revelation 18:1-4 is plain. It doesn't say to stay in this church, it declares to come out. And if they don't, regardless of their rank in this church, regardless if they are a Pope, a priest, pew warmer, or just a part time penitent, THE PLAGUES WILL FALL UPON THEIR HEAD!
| The Oath of a Catholic Priest "I do declare from my heart, without mental reservation. That the Pope is Christ's vicar-general and is the true and only head of the Universal Church throughout the world, and that by virtue of the Keys of binding and loosing given to his Holiness by Jesus Christ, he has power to depose heretical kings, princes, states, commonwealths and governments, all being illegal without his sacred Confirmation, and that they may safely be destroyed. Therefore, to the utmost of my power, I will defend this doctrine and his Holiness' rights and customs against all usurpers of the Protestant authority whatsoever, especially against the now pretended authority of the Church of England and all adherents, in regard that they may be usurped and heretical, opposing the Sacred Mother, the Church of Rome. I do renounce and disown any allegiance as due to any Protestant king, prince, or state, or obedience to any of their inferior officers. I do further declare the doctrine of the Church of England, of the Calvinist, Huguenots, and other Protestants, to be damnable and those to be damned who will not forsake the same. I do further declare that I will help, assist, and advise, all or any of his Holiness' agents, in any place wherever I shall be, and to do my utmost to extirpate the Protestant doctrine and to destroy all their pretended power, regal or otherwise. I do further promise and declare that, notwithstanding, I may be permitted by dispensation to assume any heretical religion for the propagation of the Mother Church's interest, to keep secret and private all her agents' counsels as they entrust to me, and not to divulge, directly or indirectly, by word, writing, or circumstances whatsoever, but to execute all which shall be proposed given in charge, discovered unto me by you my most Reverend Lord and Bishop." (By John Lyons, ex-catholic priest in a tract circulated in Glenside, Pa.) |
NOTE: The priest says... "the Pope is Christ's vicar-general"
in that oath. Are you aware that the title "Vicar of Christ" comes from the title "Vicarius Christi", which
was used by Emperor Constantine when he hooked up with the Church of
Rome? "Vicarius" is translated into English as "vicar" which means "in
place of" or "another." Thus..."another Christ." Pope Innocent III
(1198-1216) was the first Bishop of Rome to declare himself to be "Vicar
of Christ." Pope Nicholas III (1277-1280) went even further and claimed
to be "Vicar of God", which would be the same as calling himself
"another God" (Vicar of God). And are you sitting down? The term "antichrist" translated into
Greek is actually "vicarius christi", or vicar of Christ.
I implore any Catholics that are reading this right now to please investigate all that is written here. I welcome it! I want you to do as I once did as a Roman Catholic a few decades ago. Many years ago a Christian came to me with facts like this. I too ignored them. Then the Lord sent another! Again, I ignored them, then another...another... and another. So finally I decided to fight back! I decided to open my Catholic Bible and prove them wrong! In less than two years after opening that book I left the Roman Catholic Church, and openly denounced all that is Catholicism as I would denounce Satan himself. It's THAT blunt dear ones.
Think about the council of Valencia of 1229 AD as well. Think about why they killed 500 million Christians that refused to denounce the Jesus of the Bible for the Jesus of Rome. Can you honestly come up with any other reason as to why the Church forbid the Bible? Back then? And not only forbid it, but KILLED those that embraced it? Use common sense now. It's time to be honest with yourself. There is little time left to mull this one over!
