Though not a theological cult like the Jehovah’s Witness, or The Mormons, Roman Catholicism is not biblical, it is blatantly heretical. The compromise and undermine the orthodox confession of the church. RC teaches that one is justified by faith plus the sacraments. We are justified by faith alone through faith alone. The Bible never mentions 7 sacraments as necessary for salvation. The Bible speaks of 2 baptism, and the Lord’s supper. And they even for those wrong! They’re purely symbolic contrary to the RC teaching. They teach Mary was born without a sinful nature, without the stain of original sin. That is the doctrine of the immaculate conception this is usually falsely doctrine of the immaculate conception and misunderstood by even Catholics. They maintain that she was a perpetual version upon her death. Though Jesus had many brothers. The Bible testifies to this. They hold the “assumption of Mary”, that she was brought body and soul to heaven. These teachings are man-made doctrines without any shred of biblical support. In fact, many of them contradict scripture. What is even more concerning than this idolatry of Mary mini Catholics will quickly claim that they do not worship Mary they only “honor her.” Regardless of what they claim they pray to her for intercession, and they give her near equal status with Christ alongside these unbiblical beliefs, and praying to any creature, no matter how exalted is idolatry. Man needs no intercessor between him and God. Christ is our only mediator. The man who just refers to himself as the holy father. Just said on national TV that people are basically good. He said that it gives him hope that people are at their core level good people. This clearly flies in the face of scripture. Not only will I sync to justifying that point by scripture I will justify it by logic. If people were good, why did Jesus have to come and die? Reformed Christianity clearly teaches totaled depravity, and original sin. We have one Father and He is in heaven. The Bible has a clear, in Matthew 23 9-11, “ and call no man your father upon the Earth; For one is your father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters, for one is your master, even Christ. But he that is greatest, among you shall be your servant. He calls himself the vicar of Christ that is that he is Christ representative on earth that has the same authority over the church as Christ. There is one head of the church and his name is Jesus Christ. Nowhere does Christ make any of the 12 apostles, equal to himself. As well as the heretical and blasphemous notion that the popes words are infallible when he speaks authoritatively on doctrines or matters of faith from his seat.(ex-cathedra) In other words the pope has the same titles and functions as a triune. God, this is blatantly biblical. Scripture says that God alone is inherently holy in 1st Samuel 2:2. 1 Timothy 2:5 states that Christ is our high priest, and that there is only one mediator between God and man. And the Vicar or replacement of Christ on earth is the Holy Spirit. And only the scriptures are infallible and supremely authoritative and matters of faith, morals, and practice. When Jesus died on the cross, he said it is finished. Why if our sins are forgiven in Christ, would we have to suffer in a nonexistent purgatory to purge ourselves of our sins? They claim that intercessory prayer to Saints, or Mary, is the same as asking someone on earth to pray for us. But the fact of the matter is is that they’re not on earth. They are dead.. They cannot hear us.. and not only that to say that they can hear us, would make them omniscient like God, which would be a heresy. Christ taught his disciples how to pray. He directed his prayers to God, the father and never taught them to pray or speak to deceased people in heaven. Not one time. We already have an intercessor petitioning God on our behalf in heaven, his name is Christ. So why would we petition the dead and ask them to plead our case to God? Is God going to listen to them instead of his own Son? The practice is not only on biblical. It’s useless. Nowhere in the Bible, can you justify confession to a priest. Nowhere in the Bible, does it say that you need to be absolved of your sins and restored back to a state of right, standing with God by a priest. It is clearly a method of control and has been since its very inception. And before I move on with Christ interceding for us in heaven, and with the Holy Spirit interceding for us on earth, I have no need of your dead sodomite Saints. Men who put dead men’s bones on trial. In the Catholic catechism, the RCC has also attempted to justify their biblical practices by taking the second commandment, attaching it to the first while the last commandment is split into. Not only did they sell indulgences, which were how they built all those pretty churches all across Europe. Those indulgences were the money that they lied to people saying that they needed to pay to pray their loved ones out of purgatory or hell. That they could even buy their own salvation for the right price. No priest has the authority to forgive your sins or tell you how to atone for them. Rome is the city on Seven hills of revelation.The Vatican is built on top of Caesar Nero’s Circus, where countless Christians were brutally murdered, fed to wild animals, men, woman, and child were put to the sword. And that circus is still there, and in it are trapped the souls of millions, practicing an empty idolatrous heretical religion. Thoughts?
