FALSE DOCTRINES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Coming up on the Catholic calendar, a holiday celebrated by over a billion Catholics or over 1/6th of the world population, plus any Christian denominations that have been lured into it… EASTER! The word derived from a female pagan deity named Estarte or Istar or the Queen of Heaven, take your pick (1 Kings 16:31). She is a fertility goddess among other things, hence the eggs and rabbits. Of course this celebration comes after the unbiblical ritual  of fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras where Catholics party hearty before taking part in lent, where they give up some token thing for the 40 days before Easter. A far cry from JESUS 40 days in the wilderness. Wow. Easter has nothing to do with RESURRECTION Sunday celebrated by disciples and followers of JESUS.

Stay with me here. i was once catholic but came out from the unclean thing it is (2 Corinthians 6:17) as JESUS commands. i renounced the seducing spirits and doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1). Once you know JESUS, once you know  the truth, once you come to salvation by grace through faith, then you must run, you must come out of the lie of Catholicism and not look back. The Bible is clear, God is clear in His teaching and his warnings. The consequence of staying in this cult of false teaching is death, and death to the generations of children born into this false teaching (Revelation 2:23). And i mean born into…i know, i was born and then baptized into it within a year of my birth, as an infant i was initiated into it because my mother was Catholic, and my dad being a professed atheist, just did not care (DEUTERONOMY 18:10-12). Today on the streets when i ask a young person if he knows JESUS, the answer for many is "i'm ok, i'm Catholic." Why are they Catholic? Because their parents were.This is sad and heartbreaking.

It is on my heart to share the true Biblical history of how the Catholic church began, to give a somewhat clear picture and warning to those who will heed it. If it reaches one soul, it is worth it. Please study it out yourselves, don't take my word for it.  (ACTS 17:11) grab your Bible and a Catholic encyclopedia, papal letters, Vatican documents, visit the site.

The name itself, Catholic, means universal. Catholics think they are the one and only true church established by JESUS on earth. This is so far from the truth. Think about this, the False Prophet of Revelation is going to rise out of the one world religion. The true disciples and followers of CHRIST were killed and martyred for their true faith in Him just before this deception began. As with all generations and ages, there is always a remnant of the faithful to JESUS unto death.

The Catholic church stands so staunchly and boldly against abortion. Ever wonder why?  Because Satan wants the children, they are of no use to him dead. Over a billion people have been born into this false church, false teaching, and are headed to be killed with the death of Revelation 2:23, the judgement of JESUS, the justice of GOD.  The sad truth is the children saved in infancy to build this false church, will die as adults in this lie. The Catholic church stands for works over the salvation of souls. The Cross of Christ is of no effect. When the end comes for them it will be in the lake of fire with Satan himself. You cannot stand on works alone before GOD (Revelation 20:11-15),

Some Biblical History on this false church. It begins in the church age of Pergamos 313-605 AD (Revelation 2:12-17). During this age, not so long ago, the political seduction of the Church began. In 313 AD the Edict of Milan was signed by Constantine, rescinding the the order that made true Christians open game for persecution and death (which we saw so much of in the previous age of Smyrna 100-313 AD) and made Christianity the state  sponsored religion.  Think of it, all the power of state working in the church. Constantine made Christianity "fashionable", something to say you are, but the heart of it was far from the holiness and righteousness of GOD. Christian political activism began here and it is any wonder the name Pergamos means elevated,  married much, and the word polygamy comes from it. Christians began being seduced into idolatry, pagan ritualistic practices, physical and spiritual fornication (Revelation 2:14, Numbers 25:1-9, 31:16).

The door was now open to the next church age of almost 1,000 years, to bring in all kinds of deceptive practices and doctrine, the effects of which are still seen and felt today around the world. The Church age of Thyatira 605-1517 AD (Revelation 2:18-29), which was not so far off and long ago.  One meaning of the name is "odor of affliction" or "stench of death"… imagine, if you will, a grand tomb all ornate and pretty on the outside, but when you open it up, immediately you are hit with the stench of death, Thyatira. The name also means female domination (Jezebel spirit) and the daughter of Tyre. This age ended less than 500 years ago and it's affects are here today. It is in this age the Catholic Church began to take shape. In Thyatira they departed from true faith in GOD, from the Spirit of GOD, and fell under the spirit of religion, the Catholic lie and hierarchical system of man made rituals and religion. They departed from the faith an gave heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1).

Also the Catholic church declares that the Pope is infallible.  The pope is just a man, and GOD is GOD. No mere man is GOD. Only JESUS was GOD and man.

If you take the time to read the BIBLE and compare it to the Catholic encyclopedia, the catechism and other docs of the catholic church, you will be well equipped to know the truth of GOD in this matter.  This is how GOD began to open my eyes over 25 years ago to the lie of Catholicism.  Most Catholics have not read the Bible, let alone their own documents of the religion of their own misplaced faith. Breaks my heart.

At the end of this age and until, there arise men of GOD who shake up the status quo and a reformation was born. Yet the die was cast and the Catholic church still lures people to it and baptizes babies into it.

William Tindale 1494-1536, lived in this era for 23 years. He translated a Bible into english and got them in the peoples hands, setting them free (JOHN 8:36). He was part of the remnant in the midst of idolatry that was faithful to demonstrate the character of Christ (Revelation 2:19).

Martin Luther 1483-1546, a German theologian who preached the justification by faith rather than by works and nailed his 95 thesis to the door of Catholicism, railing against the sale of indulgences and papal authority.

On my FaceBook site i just posted a player that has the line upon line, precept upon precept, expository teaching of the Book of Revelation on it. It is a 62 hour study which gives way to hundreds more hours of study if you are truly interested in the truth of GOD.
