The 'Truth' cannot be silenced.
Besides, what has Light to do with Darkness?

Nothing.

Rather come out of them! ... and worship God in Spirit and Truth only.

The time is now.

 

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. (REVELATION 18:4-5)

How to recognize His faithful people?

God does make that crystal clear.

They will follow truthfully His eternal commandments while keeping the testimony and faith of Jesus, no matter what happens.

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (REVELATION 12:17)

Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (REVELATION 14:12)

 

Although we can find good support and help among each other, never follow people blindly. Only God can look into each and every heart and give proper guidance according to His will. Pray to receive such guidance.

Step by step we all grow closer to Jesus, the Truth, the Way and the Life, guided by God’s Holy Spirit. The very reason why you are reading this site now.

Make sure to read and fully understand the section “Key Foundation Characteristics” first, before reading “Key Violations”. One cannot discern right from wrong without a solid ‘Rock’ foundation. Search and study, find out and verify all in Scripture!

Bear in mind that when you grow and become more close to His eternal Truth, you will also be held more and more accountable for your choices made.

Once you know, there is no way back to ignorance.

THE PAPACY, A COUNTERFEIT KEY (?)

The Pope calls himself the ‘Holy Father’

There cannot be a more blasphemous pretention on earth, than to claim to be the Holy Father, or even His direct replacement.

But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of whom [are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and we by him. [1 CORINTHIANS 8:6]

The ‘Holy Father’ can only be God Himself in ‘Spirit’ and ‘Love’. Only His Word became flesh in His Son Jesus Christ, they are all one and inseparable. No man besides God can make such claim.

Now, the Vatican knows this perfectly too. That’s why they try to explain, under  “questions & answers” on their website, that God made many things ‘Holy’. He made Holy the ground under the feet of Moses, He made Holy the Sanctuary in the dessert, He made Holy all things of the highest and utmost importance for God, to serve and care for His ministry.

That’s correct. But this doesn’t mean one can claim to be Holy all by himself, nor by majority vote.

What about naming ( the Pope that is), even Holy ‘Father’?

Except reference to ‘Fathers’ as early church leaders, no clear explanation is given.

It cannot be given. Because the ‘Holy Father’ is One and One only. ‘Holy Father’ can only point to God directly and He is in the heavens, not on earth.

It is not so difficult to find out why the Papacy makes such a claim. It seems to be that they are just listening to a wrong teacher, a very proud teacher that is, and this teacher is not God.

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. [ISAIAH 14:13-14]

And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. [DANIEL 7:25]

It is inherent in his nature now. The great deceiver, once was a bright and glorious angel in the sight of God. He wanted to exalt himself above God. A perfect being proud as he became, until iniquity was found in him and rebelled against the very throne of God. Rebelling against God’s eternal law and order in the universe, proclaiming that it would be better to follow own desires. He exalted ‘self’ above God, deceiving many and sinned against God’s highest commandments.

With eloquent but deceptive ways, he did manage to convince 1/3 of the angels, all had a free will to do so. Together they rebelled against God and were finally cast out of the heavens and thrown down on the earth. You know the history.

God does not enslave and gives free will to all, everyone can choose ‘for’ or ‘against’ Him. ‘For’ His eternal commandments to maintain order in the universe, or ‘against’, by following your own desires and thinking you can be as god(s). Just as the same sin Satan sold to mankind, finally breaking our connection with God. Eat and you shall not surely die, eat and you shall be like gods. A master deception by one who was condemned himself by the same disobedience. Only a fool would follow this lost and egocentric fallen one. Unfortunately many today are following just that.

Why did God not get rid of them all right away? Why did God not punish those rebels immediately in the heavens and save all of mankind the trouble, wars and affliction caused by this Satan? If God is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, knowing all from the start, couldn’t He foresee all the misery and take care of it right from the start?

Of course He could.

But how would His judgement be perceived? With immediate judgement all the heavens would have worshiped God out of fear, not love. Fear that if they would have a question one day, they could be eradicated? This is not Love. God is no tyrant.

He does want to be worshipped in love and love only. Not out of fear. He ‘is’ Love.

God allowed Satan to proceed with his rebellion to show to all the heavenly hosts and all that come to knowledge, that Satan’s work is evil. No good can come forth from sin, sin against perfect order and eternal bliss, sin against the eternal laws of God.

That’s the whole point.

Love cannot be commanded and can only be given out of free will. God is Love, so by nature He can only accept those who truly love and follow Him with their whole heart, knowledge, strength and soul.

That’s our choice we need to make here on earth. Or we follow Jesus, the redeemer of mankind and sole Way back to the Father, or you follow Satan and his angels, the way of rebellion against God, only following their own desires, ending in destruction and total darkness.

It’s a matter of choice.

Sadly many people out there are not aware. But you are.

Would it be wrong to worship God in Spirit and Truth, but still follow Him in such a counterfeit system? Doesn’t God know my heart? He can surely see that my intentions are true and genuine?

Yes, no doubt He can. But can you? When the times get though, still recognize His Way and discern Truth from err? Why make your life difficult, risking to miss out the very salvation plan in the end because you just didn’t acknowledge Truth and followed wrong teachings? All peace and joy, they shout, but there is no peace.

For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one [is] given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. They have healed also the hurt [of the daughter] of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time [that] I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein. ] Also I set watchmen over you, [saying,] Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. [JEREMIAH 6:13-17]

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let,] until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [Even him,] whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. [2 THESSALONIANS 2:7-12]

 

Stay truthful to God and ask yourselves this, who is the real Head of the Church?

Isn’t it Christ Himself?

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. [EPHESIANS 4:12-16]

Jesus promised to send His followers another ‘Comforter’ and is not another human. Furthermore, didn’t you know that Jesus prays for you?

Of course you knew.

If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. [JOHN 14:15-18]

 

He prays to His Father, the one and only ‘Holy Father’, to  send you the Holy Spirit.

Now remember, “There is no one to call himself the ‘Holy Father’, than God Himself in the heavens”.

And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. [MATTHEW 23:9]

Roman Catholic church doctrine above the ‘Holy Word’?

This cannot be true? Is the Papacy saying that their writings or doctrines are 'above' the Holy Word, 'above' the Bible, 'above' the very Word of God?

Yes they do.

Firstly, Roman Catholicism does place its ‘traditions’ (as described in Catechism as well) at the 'same level' of loyalty and reverence as the ‘Holy Scriptures’.

Let’s have a closer look to the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, “Dei Verbum”, Chapter II, sec.9, promulgated by Pope Paul VI on Nov 18, 1965. Based on the Council of Trent, session IV, loc. Cit.: Denzinger 783 (1501).

Hence there exists a close connection and communication between sacred tradition and Sacred Scripture. For both of them, flowing from the same divine wellspring, in a certain way merge into a unity and tend toward the same end. For Sacred Scripture is the word of God inasmuch as it is consigned to writing under the inspiration of the divine Spirit, while sacred tradition takes the word of God entrusted by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit to the Apostles, and hands it on to their successors in its full purity, so that led by the light of the Spirit of truth, they may in proclaiming it preserve this word of God faithfully, explain it, and make it more widely known. Consequently it is not from Sacred Scripture alone that the Church draws her certainty about everything which has been revealed. Therefore both sacred tradition and Sacred Scripture are to be accepted and venerated with the same sense of loyalty and reverence.

(Dei Verbum, Chapter II, 9 / Council of Trent, session IV, loc. Cit.: Denzinger 783 (1501))

 

Question is, “what is tradition”? Who made tradition? How can we be sure that the traditions upheld are genuine and inspired by the Holy Spirit?

That’s not so difficult. No tradition can come forth without its proper validity in His Word. There are no other ‘traditions’ that could honor Him, than those given by His example. Otherwise, it’s a manmade tradition. So be really careful what to account for as Sacred Tradition, as it can only be centered on Christ, His Father and the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately many rites and (Saint)celebrations do not have any validity in Holy Scripture, nor were they practiced by the Apostles, nor by the early church leaders. Many were added to compromise with other pagan- and non-biblical practices and reverences.

God warned His people, exactly for that.

[Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men. [MATTHEW 15:7-9]

Secondly, looking at the Catholic doctrine, they place their own writings 'above' the Word. It is quite clear that when tradition ‘merged’ with the Holy Word, tradition and church authority prevailed. So as we can read in the “The Catholic Record – September 1st, 1923 - Volume XLV, #2342, page 4”, published in London, Ontario & Canada.

“[…] Now in the matter of Sabbath observance the Protestant rule of Faith is utterly unable to explain the substitution of the Christian Sunday for the Jewish Saturday. It has been changed. The Bible still teaches that the Sabbath or Saturday should be kept holy. There is no authority in the New Testament for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday. Surely it is an important matter. It stands there in the Bible as one of the Ten Commandments of God. There is no authority in the Bible for abrogating this Commandment, or for transferring its observance to another day of the week.”

For Catholics it is not the slightest difficulty. "All power is given Me in heaven and on earth; as the Father sent Me so I also send you," said our Divine Lord in giving His tremendous commission to His Apostles. "He that heareth you heareth Me." We have in the authoritative voice of the Church the voice of Christ Himself. The Church is above the Bible; and this transference of Sabbath observance from Saturday to Sunday is proof positive of that fact. Deny the authority of the Church and you have no adequate or reasonable explanation or justification for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday in the Third - Protestant Fourth - Commandment of God. […]”

(The Catholic Record – September 1st, 1923 - Volume XLV, #2342, page 4)

This Catholic Record had been approved and recommended by Archbishops Falconio and Sbaretti, late Apostolic Delegates to Canada, the Archbishops of Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, and St. Boniface, the Bishops of London, Hamilton, Peterborough and Odgensburg, N. Y., and the clergy throughout the Dominion.

 

Point taken.

But maybe it was an err? Maybe the Roman Catholic church did not read nor approve above article from out of the Vatican, only local archbishops did?

Could be (although one could doubt that).

So what about the following quotation from Pope Leo XIII?

“14 […] Wherefore the first and dearest object of the Catholic commentator should be to interpret those passages which have received an authentic interpretation either from the sacred writers themselves, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost (as in many places of the New Testament), or from the Church, under the assistance of the same Holy Spirit, whether by her solemn judgment or her ordinary and universal magisterium(35) - to interpret these passages in that identical sense, and to prove, by all the resources of science, that sound hermeneutical laws admit of no other interpretation. In the other passages, the analogy of faith should be followed, and Catholic doctrine, as authoritatively proposed by the Church, should be held as the supreme law; for, seeing that the same God is the author both of the Sacred Books and of the doctrine committed to the Church, it is clearly impossible that any teaching can by legitimate means be extracted from the former, which shall in any respect be at variance with the latter. Hence it follows that all interpretation is foolish and false which either makes the sacred writers disagree one with another, or is opposed to the doctrine of the Church”.

(“PROVIDENTISSIMUS DEUS”, Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII, On the Study of Holy Scripture, dated November 18th, 1893)

 

Maybe the Papacy need to explain through dogma’s and catechisms, so that the Word of God can be understood? There are many bible studies out there who try to explain the Word of God? No?

There are many indeed. But all should be in line with His Word, not in line with manmade church doctrines.

Perhaps Pope Leo XIII views’ are adapted and changed in the meanwhile?

No.

It is actually even worse.

“[…] It follows that the exegete must be attentive to perceiving the word of God present in the biblical texts, fitting them into the Church’s faith itself. The interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures cannot only be an individual scientific effort. Rather, it must always be confronted, inserted and authenticated by the living Tradition of the Church. […]”

(POPE FRANCIS, TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PONTIFICAL BIBLICAL COMMISSION, Hall of the Popes, Friday, 12 April 2013)

 

Choice seems clear. Either you accept the authority of God through His Word, or you accept the authority of men. You choose.

Without doctrine, the Catholic church cannot proclaim authority whatsoever.

The very reason why the Papacy denies “Sola Scriptura”.

Notice further that up till the Second Vatican Council of 1962–1965 (!), this church used Latin as the exclusive language of the Roman and Ambrosian liturgies. Producing hundreds of thousands documents aside Holy Scripture.

Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that [by my voice] I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an [unknown] tongue. [1 CORINTHIANS 9:5]

Keeping the ability to change the Word of God by their own interpretations and traditions, to accommodate its own but counterfeit belief system.

An apostate system, drunk with the wine from Babylon.

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [REVELATION 17:1-6]

And where does this blasphemous ‘woman’, alias this “Mother of harlots” sits?

And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. [REVELATION 17-9]

It must be a coincidence that the Vatican, the power center of the Roman Catholic church, calling themselves “the Mother Church”,  is sitting on top of seven hills, called Rome?

Rome is popularly called 'the city of seven hills'. These seven hills namely, Viminal, Quirinal, Palatine, Esquiline, Capitoline, Caelian, and Aventine were separated by marshy land and the River Tiber. Of these seven hills, the Caelian, Esquiline, Quirinal and Viminal hills were portions of a volcanic ridge. The Aventine, Capitoline, and Palatine hills formed the western group of hills. In ancient Rome each of the seven hills had separate walled cities.

It must be a coincidence …

Falsify God’s eternal Commandments:

Integrating idolatry and Sun worship

Under the section “Key Foundation Characteristics”, we discussed extensively these abominations. Implementing a false worship day. A counterfeit ‘idolatry Sabbath’ made by men.

A direct violation of His 4th eternal commandment to keep His Sabbath Holy, the seventh day of the week, today called Saturday. Breaking the very seal of Authority of God and replacing it with a seal and authority of men, the ‘Sun’day, the first day of the week.

An idolatry Sabbath introduced by this Roman Catholic 'mother' church, today followed by many Protestant & religious denominations also called her 'daughters'.

Question. What was the greatest abomination to God before He withdrew his protection?

Hebrews back then knew very well what made them lose their heavenly Assistance, what broke them, what made such easy victory for their enemies over them, left them defeated and desolate …

Sun worship.

Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen [this,] O son of man? turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations than these. And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, [were] about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. [EZEKIEL 8:15-16]

Why make this same mistake, over and over again? What is it with men that they turn so easily their backs towards their Creator? Is it so difficult to have real ‘faith’?

The same goes for ‘idolatry’. Firstly made as veneration of God, secondly it became the very object of veneration on its own. Veneration for all kind of 'saints', martyr’s, persons or relics. Violating directly God’s second eternal commandment, including the first: “there is only one God”.

Do keep your direct connection towards God.

You do not need any focal point replacement, than praying to the heavenly Father, in the name of His only Son, Jesus Christ.

Do believe in His promises, in His Word.

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and [in his] Father’s, and of the holy angels. [LUKE 9:26]

No statues, nor relics needed.

Proclaim papal infallibility

even throughout history, despite persecution, excommunication and killing of ‘opponents’

 

Papal infallibility.

A dogma of the Catholic Church to state that the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error, by virtue of his supreme apostolic authority.

Have a closer look at the ‘definition’ to be found in the council VATICAN II, led by Pope Paul VI, 21 Nov. 1964.

“Although the individual bishops do not enjoy the prerogative of infallibility, they nevertheless proclaim Christ's doctrine infallibly whenever, even though dispersed through the world, but still maintaining the bond of communion among themselves and with the successor of Peter, and authentically teaching matters of faith and morals, they are in agreement on one position as definitively to be held.(40*) This is even more clearly verified when, gathered together in an ecumenical council, they are teachers and judges of faith and morals for the universal Church, whose definitions must be adhered to with the submission of faith.(41*)

And this infallibility with which the Divine Redeemer willed His Church to be endowed in defining doctrine of faith and morals, extends as far as the deposit of Revelation extends, which must be religiously guarded and faithfully expounded. And this is the infallibility which the Roman Pontiff, the head of the college of bishops, enjoys in virtue of his office, when, as the supreme shepherd and teacher of all the faithful, who confirms his brethren in their faith,(166) by a definitive act he proclaims a doctrine of faith or morals.(42*) And therefore his definitions, of themselves, and not from the consent of the Church, are justly styled irreformable, since they are pronounced with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, promised to him in blessed Peter, and therefore they need no approval of others, nor do they allow an appeal to any other judgment. For then the Roman Pontiff is not pronouncing judgment as a private person, but as the supreme teacher of the universal Church, in whom the charism of infallibility of the Church itself is individually present, he is expounding or defending a doctrine of Catholic faith.(43*) The infallibility promised to the Church resides also in the body of Bishops, when that body exercises the supreme magisterium with the successor of Peter. To these definitions the assent of the Church can never be wanting, on account of the activity of that same Holy Spirit, by which the whole flock of Christ is preserved and progresses in unity of faith.(44*)” [VATICAN II, ‘Lumen Gentium’, Chapter III, 25]

How can people still defend such lies, believing even in the possibility of being infallible and moreover by succession?

First Problem. How can this Catholic teaching claim to have received such authority from Peter? Do you mean Apostle Peter? The one Pagan Rome persecuted and most probably killed? Besides, nowhere Peter was declared infallible himself, only God is infallible. Furthermore, it is not Peter’s authority to pass on or give the Holy Spirit, God does … and He does give to those upon His liking, not by human vote.

Never Holy Scripture states ‘we’ select. Note that even Jesus, before selecting His 12 Apostles, prayed ‘all night long’, to ask guidance and agreement from His Father.

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, he called [unto him] his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; [LUKE 6:12-13]

Second problem. Just look at history. Is it really necessary to cite all the bloodshed and persecution done by this counterfeit religious system? Everyone can read and examine the history records, the numerous dead sentences proclaimed and executed, the abundant papal bulls to excommunicate those who were opposed.

Papal infallibility. It must be a joke. It has to be.

For Jan Hus, it was not.

Didn’t Scripture already warned that the little ‘horn’, this anti-Christ, would make war with the saints of the Most High?

I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; [DANIEL 7:21]

A ‘Mother’ system drunk with the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus.

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [REVELATION 17:4-6]

God will judge these cruelties of the church. No doubt about that.

All in due time, His time, not ours.

In the meantime, do overcome all evil with only doing good.

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. [Be] of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but[rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. [ROMANS 12:14-21]

Transform God’s salvation plan into a mystery rite: “Transubstantiation”

The last supper.

Jesus gave example to His disciples and all who would follow Him, to break the bread, and drink the wine in remembrance of Him.

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it,] and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. [LUKE 22:19-20]

Remembrance of His ultimate and great sacrifice. A Holy Sacrifice, the Lamb of God. The bread and the Life, the wine and His blood. Slain for our transgressions, slain for our redemption, slain to bring us back to the Father. Slain for all who believes in Him.

Slain indeed, but only once.

By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all. ] And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. [HEBREWS 10:14]

That’s the whole problem with “transubstantiation”.

This Roman Catholic teaching in the sacrament of the Eucharist, believes that the bread and the wine, truly becomes the real body and blood of Christ during this overly-repeated rite celebration. A teaching only officially recorded and formalized during the counsel of Trent, 1545-1563 AD.

“On Transubstantiation: And because that Christ, our Redeemer, declared that which He offered under the species of bread to be truly His own body, therefore has it ever been a firm belief in the Church of God, and this holy Synod doth now declare it anew, that, by the consecration of the bread and of the wine, a conversion is made of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord, and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of His blood; which conversion is, by the holy Catholic Church, suitably and properly called Transubstantiation.” [The canons and decrees of the sacred and oecumenical Council of Trent, Session XIII, Chapter IV]

Anyone not acknowledging the Catholic sacraments, is even considered an ‘anathema’. A heretic.

“If any one saith, that the sacraments of the New Law were not all instituted by Jesus Christ, our Lord; or, that they are more, or less, than seven, to wit, Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Order, and Matrimony; or even that any one of these seven is not truly and properly a sacrament; let him be anathema.” [The canons and decrees of the sacred and oecumenical Council of Trent, Session XII, Canon I]

Question is, who is the actual anathema here? A lesson still to be learned I am afraid.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law. [ROMANS 13:10]

The transformation of the bread and the wine is called a great “mystery” (?)

Basically, such a ceremony portrays to actually sacrifice Jesus, over and over again. This is no remembrance service, but a disgrace to God and a deception for many unaware.

Holy Scripture is very clear on this point.

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. [HEBREWS 9:28]

The err flows from their literal interpretation. Whereas Jesus obviously meant to eat the bread, His Word, and dink the blood, remember and accept His sacrifice and faith.

See that you do not become partakers in such a “mystery” rite. God’s salvation plan through His Son Jesus is no mystery. It’s faith, acceptance, reverence, and yes, remembrance.

Ever wondered why the host for the Eucharist sacrament is preferably a small round white-yellow disk, not resembling bread at all?  

You can figure it out.

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But [I say,] that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. [1 CORINTHIANS 10:14-21]

Integrate the “Mary assumption” doctrine, creating a counterfeit redeemer

Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus, was a highly favored and very blessed woman by God.

There is no doubt about that!

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name [was] Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women. And when she saw [him,] she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. [LUKE 1:26-35]

She knew she would be blessed by many generations to come.

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy [is] his name. And his mercy [is] on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of [his] mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. [LUKE 1:46-55]

Special care was foreseen for her when Jesus was about to depart.

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own [home. [JOHN 19:25-27]

But Jesus made it very clear that all His followers and doers of the will of the Father, are His brothers, sisters and mother.

For all of His’, a special care is foreseen.

While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] other and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. [MATTHEW 12:46-50]

Mary, the beloved and His chosen earthly mother, by whom Jesus came into this world.

All well and true.

However, Mary cannot replace what Jesus did for us, in no single way. Jesus made that very clear.

And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it. [LUKE 11:27-28]

It is Jesus, who received all the power and glory of His Father. It is He only who bears the sins of this world for all who believes in Him. It will also be Jesus to accept and judge each and every one, given to Him by His Father.

Mary is no redeemer.

For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. [1 TIMOTHY 2:5-6]

The Roman Catholic church made up this wonderful story, only by own doctrine and self-proclaimed ‘authority’, making use of the Papal Infallibility doctrine.

APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTION OF POPE PIUS XII, “MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS”, DEFINING THE DOGMA OF THE ASSUMPTION, November 1, 1950.

 […] “40. Hence the revered Mother of God, from all eternity joined in a hidden way with Jesus Christ in one and the same decree of predestination,(47) immaculate in her conception, a most perfect virgin in her divine motherhood, the noble associate of the divine Redeemer who has won a complete triumph over sin and its consequences, finally obtained, as the supreme culmination of her privileges, that she should be preserved free from the corruption of the tomb and that, like her own Son, having overcome death, she might be taken up body and soul to the glory of heaven where, as Queen, she sits in splendor at the right hand of her Son, the immortal King of the Ages.(48)

41. Since the universal Church, within which dwells the Spirit of Truth who infallibly directs it toward an ever more perfect knowledge of the revealed truths, has expressed its own belief many times over the course of the centuries, and since the bishops of the entire world are almost unanimously petitioning that the truth of the bodily Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven should be defined as a dogma of divine and Catholic faith--this truth which is based on the Sacred Writings, which is thoroughly rooted in the minds of the faithful, which has been approved in ecclesiastical worship from the most remote times, which is completely in harmony with the other revealed truths, and which has been expounded and explained magnificently in the work, the science, and the wisdom of the theologians - we believe that the moment appointed in the plan of divine providence for the solemn proclamation of this outstanding privilege of the Virgin Mary has already arrived.”

So science, wisdom and their own believes can authenticate? Thanks for making that clear, for a moment one could have believed God did. And as usual, threatening those who would question or be opposed to their doctrine and teaching. No wonder why.

[…] 47. It is forbidden to any man to change this, our declaration, pronouncement, and definition or, by rash attempt, to oppose and counter it. If any man should presume to make such an attempt, let him know that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul.

It seems that they would like to exercise their earthly power once again and show to all who is in charge over godly matters, preferably, inquisition style. This cannot be love, nor divinely inspired.

Unfortunately, Mary’s name is being misused to attract those who worship(ped) pagan female deities (conscious) or have a tendency to do so because they don’t accept male headship (unconscious). It gave them a new object to venerate, a replacement of the void from their pagan practice.

Her name is actually abused to hide many ancient female deities worshiped a.o. in Babylon, Egypt, Greece and the Roman empire. The so called ‘Mother Earth’ cults.

Preferably, do not even take their names unto your lips.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another [god:] their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. [PSALMS 16:4]

They are manmade, they do not see, hear, nor know anything, they even don’t exist. They only exist in the kingdom and spirit of Satan, for those being deceived.

No “Queen of heaven” exists, only transgression of His 1st law does. So be warned.

Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, [As for] the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for [then] had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all [things,] and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men? Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him [that] answer, saying, The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it [not] into his mind? So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, [and] because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day. [JEREMIAH 44:15-23]

No one other than Jesus Christ, the ‘anointed one’ by His Father, is able to save.

Although Satan, alias the ‘dragon’, represented by the ‘little horn’, the ‘beast’, the ‘false prophet ‘, ‘deceived kings of the earth’, or by the ‘apostate mother’, will strongly contest.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful. [REVELATION 17:4]

Stay true to Jesus, the King of kings, ‘the’ redeemer of the world.

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. [REVELATION 11:15-19]

Having a true and pure character after His’ Fathers. The very reason why the ark of the covenant, holding the eternal laws of God, will be revealed in the end as a standard and benchmark for all to be evaluated.

With your eyes fixed upon Jesus, you can’t miss.

Accept no counterfeit redeemer.

Repetition of prayers

(rosary’s & prayer mantra’s)

 

It’s a pity that many still believe up till today, that by repeating over and over the same exact prayers, God can establish an intimate relation with them.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do:] for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. [MATTHEW 6:7]

Through prayer we can directly relate to the Father in Jesus’ name. Through prayer we can show our personal appreciation and reverence, also poor out our heart, our difficulties in life and ask divine Assistance, protection and blessings. Our Father who is in the heavens does want to help those in need, those who are in need of Him. He listens.

Many ask themselves if God does listen to them?

Why their prayers are not heard? Every time they show the highest reverence and dedication. They give all they have, some with tears rolling down their eyes. Nothing seem to happen.

How come?

Because many, unfortunately, are only hearers of His law, little are keepers.

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer [shall be] abomination. [PROVERBS 28:9]

Not as a prerequisite because Jesus will accept anyone who believes in Him, as he or she is, but will nonetheless be transformed by Him to mirror God’s character made known by His law.

Which law?

His law. His eternal laws. Those laws put ‘into’ the ark of the covenant, written with His own finger, or to quote Jesus, “Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled”. The very object of this entire site you are reading right now. Don’t forget.

But didn’t Jesus nail the law of God to the cross?

Ask yourselves rather this: “Did Jesus die for our sins, so you can sin further?”

You choose.

Be upright.

The sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright [is] his delight. [PROVERBS 15:8]

Be aware that God does already know what you need, before you pray.

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. [MATTHEW 6:8]

The prayer given by Jesus to His disciples, was an example prayer. It is a ‘manner’ to pray, a balanced prayer. A prayer should contain at best, reverence to God, asking for spiritual food, forgiveness, protection and true guidance.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. [MATTHEW 6:9]

Dedication does not proceed from endless repetition only learned by the head, but with presence of the whole heart, soul and mind all together.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. [MATTHEW 7:7-8]

God will surely hear your prayer and respond according to His plan … tailor made, just for you.

Receive absolution ‘from a priest’ through confession?

 

It is not a discussion about priests helping others in need. It is not a discussion whereby people support and  accommodate others with good and pure intentions to find a way to true repentance towards God. It is not a discussion to guide men towards Jesus, the everlasting Gospel, for prayer and asking forgiveness and receive the Holy Ghost.

Here, it is a question about remission of sins, whether it can be obtained solely through judgment by a priest, or only by God in the heavens?

Who can claim to have received such high mandate ‘in person’ from Jesus, other than the Apostles?

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on [them,] and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; [and] whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained. [JOHN 20:21-23]

An impossibility to know for sure one has received the ‘Holy Ghost’ for similar purpose. Furthermore, such remission could only be obtained through the Holy Ghost, send by Jesus, not at their sole discretion.

The very reason why remission of sins can only be through baptism, repenting and receiving the Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus, as He sees fit. Apostle Peter made that very clear.

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. [ACTS 2:38]

Hold one simple rule here on earth: “Only God (Father, Son and Holy Ghost) can forgive sins.”

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. [ACTS 5:30-32]

To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. [ACTS 10:43]

And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. [ACTS 22:16]

Doesn’t Holy Scripture indicate that we need to confess our sins towards each other so we may be forgiven?

And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. [JAMES 5:15-16]

Again, through ‘payer’, thus God … not men.

So ‘who’ can take away sins?

For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. [ROMANS 11:27]

Only God can.

Don’t even try to judge one another. Moreover, those who do judge, will be judged themselves.

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. [MATTHEW 7:1-5]

Do help each other!

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. [1 PETER 4:8]

What about those who still profess otherwise? Reading the Catholic doctrine on “the Sacrament of Penance and reconciliation” they actually profess that priests can forgive sins and grant absolution all by themselves.

[1441] Only God forgives sins. Since he is the Son of God, Jesus says of himself, "The Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" and exercises this divine power: "Your sins are forgiven." Further, by virtue of his divine authority he gives this power to men to exercise in his name.

[1449] The formula of absolution used in the Latin Church expresses the essential elements of this sacrament: the Father of mercies is the source of all forgiveness. He effects the reconciliation of sinners through the Passover of his Son and the gift of his Spirit, through the prayer and ministry of the Church:

“God, the Father of mercies, through the death and the resurrection of his Son has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins; through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace, and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

[the Sacrament of Penance and reconciliation]

 

Look carefully how their teaching directs from “Only God forgives sins”, to “I absolve”, the priest that is. Nowhere in Holy Scripture, besides Jesus the Son of God, men obtained power to forgive sins.

These priests or Pope do prophesy in Jesus’ name as well, no?

Why doth this [man] thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? [MARK 2:7]

Aren’t they responsible church leaders ‘proclaiming’ to follow Christ?

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. [MATTHEW 7:21-23]

So be careful.

Jesus did not just forgive sins for everyone. He made ‘provision’ for everyone who believes in Him, to forgive all sins. A very important nuance to be made. One still has to ‘ask’ His forgiveness, claim this provision made, by repentance and acceptance.

 

By the way. What about those who preach, “once saved by grace, always saved”?

Here is a newsflash for them:

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. [JOHN 15:10]

Don’t even think you can continue to sin against His eternal commandments, once baptized in His name.

 

Avoid to be disappointed. 

Infant baptism

Can anyone explain how a baby can repent and accept consciously Jesus Christ as his or her Saviour? Can anyone tell how a baby can believe with all the heart, without even being aware of its own existence? Can anyone be thought on the Word and gospel message of God, still being a baby?

Of course not.

Baptism should not be ridiculed. It’s a serious, individual and conscious choice to be made. No one can do this for you. Everyone has his or her own free will. No parent can do this for his or her child. They can be well educated. They can be well prepared and raised. But in the end, it remains their own individual choice. God cannot accept love under force or without free will.

You can only be baptised when fully being thought and having accepted Christ. 

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen. [MATTHEW 28:18-20]

When ‘mayest’ we baptised? … When believing with the whole heart.

Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. [ACTS 8:35-39]

Notice further that being baptised is by fully immersion into the water, not by sprinkling or pouring.

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. [MATTHEW 3:16-17]

But don’t the Catholics (and many Protestant denominations) baptise infants to be sure that they will be saved? Maybe they die before they ever can attain full knowledge and acceptance in their heart for Jesus? How will they be saved?

Who is fooling who here?

Don’t you think that God can make such a judgment Himself? Do you think that you can trick God by quickly turning baptism into some kind of formality rite?

Furthermore, infants have no inherited sin at conception from their parents. A false teaching. 

The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live? [EZEKIEL 18:20-23]

Rest assured, Jesus knows what He does judging one, baptised or not.  Make that choice to be baptised when possibility is still there, consciously, that’s way more important. No excuses to be made.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. [MARK 16:16]

Now when they heard [this,] they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men [and] brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. [ACTS 2:37-38]

Follow His example,  be baptised with water by ‘full immersion’ while there is still time and receive the Holy Ghost, with 'fire'

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire: [MATTHEW 3:11]

Prohibit marriage for priests

Who forbids to marry? God?
Absolutely not.

On the one hand, it was God’s intention to unite man and woman in holy matrimony and become one in the flesh. Both should have respect towards each other, supporting and loving their partner. Also for priests.

Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and [as] the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? [1 CORINTHIANS 9:5]

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) [1 TIMOTHY 3:2-5]

On the other hand, God does not force one to marry neither.

It’s a matter of choice, no obligation.

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. [CORINTHIANS 7:8-9]

However, ‘forbidding’ one to marry, is a flagrant falsification of Truth. Holy Scripture makes this very clear, not to follow such dark doctrines.

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. [1 TIMOTHY 4:1-5]

This is the very reason why many Catholic priests, being forced into a 'single' marital status without choice of their own, will never feel whole in Christ. Moreover, upholding such false doctrine does risk to pervert the mind and might attract just those with hidden motives.

Today, numerous sexual delinquent cases became known within this religious system, they still wonder why.

A “mother” Church over all Christians

Main question remains, which “mother”?

The initially pure woman (church) from who the child Jesus was born? Or an apostatized “mother” church, who deceives the entire world including many 'daughters' and speaks blasphemous words against the Most High, thinking it can be like the Most High?!

It is not so difficult to find out that His true followers living by His Word (also called the remnant ‘church’: "those who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ", REV 12:17), were and will actually be persecuted again by this “mother” church who sits on the many waters of the world, nations and kings that is.

The one who had received a deadly wound in 1798.

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. [REVELATION 13:3-9]

The one who can make great wonders and easily deceive those who do not fully trust in the Word of God.

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. [REVELATION 17:8]

The one who is called the ‘whore’, which reigns over the kings of the earth.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. [REVELATION 17:14-18]

Unfortunately 'all' being deceived, yes, even the Pope(s) himself.

Just like Judas was.

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. [MATTHEW 26:25]

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. [JOHN 8:44]

All deceived by that 'old serpent', using the oldest tricks around.

And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. [REVELATION 20:1-3]

Don't be fooled yourself.

Refrain from any key 'violation'.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. [REVELATION 18:4-5]

There is still time to turn 'your' Key to Life.

Don't wait until it is too late ...

That you may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. [REVELATION 22:10-15]
