The Roman Catholic Church - Satan's Substitute
An Honest question for Catholics. Do you agree with EVERYTHING your church teaches?
Do you believe:
Your "works of righteousness" can outweigh your sins?
The priest really turns that wafer into the actual flesh of Jesus Christ?
When you eat this wafer, you are "really" chewing on Jesus Christ?
If you throw up within ten minutes after eating this wafer that your god is sitting on the floor in a pile of vomit?
Mary can help save your soul or mediate your prayers for you?
That Jesus really needs Mary's help? That His Blood alone doesn't save you?
The priest has the power to forgive or retain your sins? The same sins that Jesus died for!?!?!
The pope can send your soul to heaven, hell, or take years off of purgatory by granting you an indulgence?
Wearing a brown scapular around your neck can save you from hell?
What do all of the above Catholic practices have in common? They all attempt to add to or supplement Jesus' one perfect sacrifice on the cross. In other words, by trusting in any of the above practices, your showing Jesus' that you lack faith in His Blood. That you have some faith in His Blood and some faith in these other things.
That would mean that 25% of your trust is in His Blood, 25% in the Catholic church, 25% in your prayers to Mary, 15% in your works, 5% in the scapular, 5% in the wafer. However you want to break them up, YOUR ADDING TO HIS BLOOD that He shed ONCE for the remission of all sins!!!
The Word of God says "being now justified by his blood!!!"
and
Ga 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Friend, your works can't save you.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ro 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
How do the above verses fit in with the catholic doctrine of salvation? My catechism says we are saved by faith + works + sacraments. The Catholic Church says that the priest forgives your sins (blasphemy!!!) but you still need to pay for them in purgatory (fictitious place made up by the church to steal money from widows). Tell me something. How can God make us pay for something that He has forgotten about!!! The bible teaches that we are justified, adopted into Gods family and become His son or daughter, and sealed unto the day of redemption the instant that we place all of our trust in His shed Blood. It says " being now justified". That is present tense, not future tense. Why let your religion take this peace away from you? The Roman Catholic Church says you can't know that your saved for sure, but the bible says you can know for sure! As a catholic you can't be SURE that jesus saved you and who is on your way to Hell or Purgatory according to your church, why would you want praise Jesus? Where is your "peace with God through your Lord Jesus Christ"? If Jesus couldn't save you from your sins what good was His sacrifice?
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb 10:19 ¶ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Ga 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
If your praying to Mary or trying to follow part of the Jewish law (the 10 commandments) for salvation then your admitting that your Jesus couldn't save you!!! According to your religion, your Jesus can't save you so your told to ask Mary to help her Son complete His job!!! Your told to rely on your sacraments, works and Mary to sanctify you rather than the Blood of Jesus Christ!!! Maybe your Jesus couldn't save you but the Jesus Christ of the Bible saved me from my sins through His one perfect sacrifice! If your told that you can't be sure that your saved through His one perfect sacrifice then your church is preaching ANOTHER GOSPEL, ANOTHER SPIRIT, and ANOTHER CHRIST. A Jesus who can't save!!! A baby Jesus who needs His mother to help him save you (Mary is called the CO-redeemer by the Catholic church). Tell me something. If you need a heart transplant do you call the doctors mother and ask her to operate in place of her son? She's not a doctor and Mary isn't God! Mary hates what your doing do her and she never asked for it.
2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted
Heb 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
See that??? "there is no more offering for sin" . What is it that the Roman Catholic Church is doing every week when the Priest consecrates the little round wafer and offers it up to God? They are commanding Jesus Christ into the wafer and offering Him up as a sacrifice again and again and again!!!
Priest - The Heb. kohen, Gr. hierus, Lat. sacerdos, always denote one who offers sacrifices.
Heb 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Heb 9:25 Nor yet that he (Christ) should offer himself often, as the high priest entreat into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
How many times does Jesus Christ need to offer himself? ONCE!!! "Nor yet that he should offer himself often", "So Christ was once offered". He wants us to break bread to remember what he did for us on the cross. He DOESN'T want to be commanded into a wafer and sacrificed over and over. The Catholic Mass is an abomination in God's eyes. It's Satan's lie and he gloats every time the Catholic Mass is offered. You can receive Jesus as your savior by repenting and trusting only in His shed Blood. The Blood that He shed ONCE on the cross. You can't receive Him by eating a piece of bread at church every Sunday. If the priest really could change that wafer into His flesh, YOU'D BE A CANNIBAL!!!
Are you praying to Mary for help? Asking her to mediate for you? Asking her to help with the salvation of your soul? This is a sure way to let Jesus know that your trust isn't 100% in His Blood!!! You are insulting His perfect, one time sacrifice! You are telling Him that He's a failure and that He alone can't save you! Instead of trusting in His finished work, your trusting in a person (Mary), who was also a sinner in need of a savior! Mary can't save you and you have no right to ask her to mediate! You say "but we don't put any trust in Mary, we just ask her to mediate". I know the prayers to Mary. "Hail Holy Queen, our life, our sweetness and our hope". If she's your hope then the Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the cross isn't your hope!!! That's not just my opinion. READ YOUR BIBLE.
1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
Ac 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
You say "But Mary came down from heaven and told us to say the rosary for the salvation of souls". I say "read your bible!!!" Is God a liar? Didn't He warn us that Satan will come to deceive us? Didn't He tell us to know and obey all of His words? Everything that this "Mary" says is against Gods word. So how can it be from God? GOD DOESN'T LIE!!! Your Mary goddess is either another lie made up by the Roman Catholic church or it is Satan appearing as an angel from heaven giving you a "new gospel". Let's see what God's book has to say about this.
Ga 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
If God were to send a messenger do you really think the message would contradict His own words that He commands you to obey?
"Mary" says "dedicate yourselves to my immaculate heart and I won't forsake you".
Jesus says:
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
"Mary" says "Search for God from within your heart"
Jesus says:
Mark 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
"Mary" says "Say the rosary everyday for the salvation of souls"
Jesus says:
Mt 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
These are but a few examples of how the words of the Catholic "Mary" goddess contradict the words of Jesus Christ. Who will it be , "Mary" or Jesus? Catholic tradition or The Holy Bible? Satan's word or God's word? Heaven or Hell? It's your choice. I pray that you will choose Jesus Christ over your religion. After all, if your religion can't promise you heaven and Jesus can, why chose your religion?
I will add to this page soon.
