Exodus 20:4-5, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them..."
The Catholic Church is a false religion. Catholics have been
fabricating new doctrines for
centuries. Notice the children and adults worshipping the Pope in the photo
to the right. It is idolatry!
Please understand that I don't condemn anyone, for the Bible condemns all of us as guilty, dirty, rotten, hell-deserving sinners. My salvation solely rests in Christ's righteousness, because of the precious blood that He gave for our sins. My intention is not to be unkind; but rather, to expose false religions which lead people away from the truth of God's Word. Those poor children.
The Bible teaches that salvation is by faith alone in Jesus Christ. “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.” There you have it... NOT OF WORKS!
In sharp contrast, the Catholic Church requires their members to have BOTH faith and works; thus disobeying the Scriptures. They have a corrupt understanding of James 2:17-18, “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.” James 2:21 clearly explains what James meant, “Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?” Abraham offered Isaac upon the alter in Genesis chapter 22.
However, we read that Abraham was saved in Genesis 15:6, “And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” Thus, James was speaking about the FRUIT of Abraham's faith; but Genesis 15:6 speaks concerning the ROOT of Abraham's faith. Abraham was justified in the eyes of God by faith alone. Abraham was justified in the eyes of men by works. The Catholic Church horribly corrupts the teachings of the Apostle James to teach the damnable heresy of Works Salvation (which is a guaranteed road to Hell).
Lengthy books have been written refuting the Jehovah's Witnesses, a false religion comprising about 6,000,000 members worldwide; but the hellish Catholic religion has over 1,000,000,000 members, and much fewer books have been written to expose their demonic teachings!
Walter Martin in his well known book, KINGDOM OF THE CULTS, doesn't even mention the hellish Catholic religion. How could any professed Christian write a book exposing Satanic cults and fail to expose the BIGGEST false religion in the world... The Catholic Church? Dr. Martin's successor, Hank Hanegraaff, aka, “The Bible Answer Man,” has also utterly failed to expose the cesspool of iniquity of Roman Catholicism. Truly, “FOR LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL...” (1st Timothy 6:10).
The once great Jack Van Impe—who at one time preached at the Independent Fundamental Baptist landmark, Hyles-Anderson College, who warmed the hearts of millions of Christians with his knowledge of prophecy and preached concerning the coming Rapture—has totally sold-out to Satan, crawling into bed with the whore of Roman Catholicism, praising the sinister Pope as God's man, and refraining from exposing the BIGGEST and most DEMONIC cult in the world... Roman Catholicism!!!
Here's PROOF that Catholics worship Mary. The Vatican's Our Lady of Fatima hoax claims that Catholics can obtain eternal life by way of reciting the Rosary to Mary. This is NOT what the Bible teaches. Feminists in particular are draw to Catholicism, because the false cult centers around idolatrous worship of the woman Mary. The Word of God plainly states that Jesus is the ONLY Mediator between God and men... “the MAN Christ Jesus.” 1st Timothy 2:5, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” If feminists want to go to Heaven it will have to be through “a man,” and that man is Jesus Christ.
Furthermore, numerous popes over the past few decades have openly taught that people may go to Heaven without any Biblical faith in Jesus Christ. What sacrilegious blasphemy! The Bible sternly warns all humanity in 2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9 that all who refuse to obey the gospel will suffer eternal damnation in the flaming fire of God's vengeance... “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.”
Yet the Popes think they know more than God, falsely teaching that Christ-rejecters can still get to Heaven some other way. John 10:1 calls them thieves and robbers... “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.” Jesus is the only Door into Heaven according to John 10:9, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” Make your choice: the Lamb of God, or the Devil's Pope?
Satan is an identity thief... “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light” (2nd Corinthians 11:13-14). Satan has stolen Christ's identity and he aims to take you to Hell with him, just as AC/DC sings in their demonic hit song, HELL'S BELLS. Have you believed a lie? Everything about Catholicism is a cruel hoax, intended to keep men blinded from the truth, and lead them into Hell forever. Religion wants to fit us with glasses; but the Lord wants to open our eyes.
