ROMAN CATHOLICISM IS A FALSE RELIGION.
______
Roman Catholicism is NOT Biblical Christianity:
For these reasons, and more:
1) Rome's false teaching of justification by faith plus works vs. the Bible's teaching of justification by faith alone

2) Romish Church's authority given to Magisterium/Tradition vs. the authoritative supremacy of the Bible

3) Rome's use of the Papal title "Holy Father" is "a very grave usurpation" of the title for God the Father (John 17:11, KJV) (H. Carson, The Faith of the Vatican)
4) Rome's assertion of Papal headship of the church vs. Biblical teaching that Christ is the Head of the church (Colossians 1:18, KJV)

5) Rome's use of the Papal title "Vicar of Christ" vs. Christ's promise of the Holy Ghost, "whom the Father will send in My Name" (John 14:26)

6) Rome's false teaching on the existence of Purgatory, which does not exist

7) "Apocrypha" added to the 66 books of the Bible (seven books added to Roman Catholic Bible, plus parts of other books)

8) Transubstantiation and Sacrifice of "Jesus" in the blasphemous Roman Catholic Mass vs. the Biblical teaching of one, full, sufficient, true sacrifice of Christ on the cross on Calvary (John 19:30, Hebrews 10:10, 12, 14, 18, KJV).

9) Prayer and devotion/worship given to Roman goddess "Mary" (not the real Mary of the Bible), the "Queen of Heaven" (see Jeremiah 7:18 and Jeremiah 44:17, 18, 19, 25, KJV). The Roman goddess "Mary" (Ishtar, Astarte, Isis) is not a "mediatrix" !

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and Men, the man Christ Jesus; ..." 1 Timothy 2:5, KJV

10) Infant baptism vs. baptism of believers

"Where did the practices and beliefs of Roman Catholicism come from? In this scholarly classic, first published over ninety years ago, Alexander Hislop reveals that many Roman Catholic teachings did not originate with Christ or the Bible, but were adopted from ancient pagan Babylonian religion, and given Christian names."
Bob Jones University ( Greenville, SC )

[ excerpt, emphasis added ]
Criticism of Catholicism and Mormonism
" The three Bob Joneses, especially Bob Jones, Jr., sharply criticized the Roman Catholic Church. For instance, Jones, Jr. once said that Catholicism was "not another Christian denomination. It is a satanic counterfeit, an ecclesiastic tyranny over the souls of men....It is the old harlot of the book of the Revelation 'the Mother of Harlots.'" All popes, Jones asserted, "are demon possessed." In 2000, then-president Bob Jones III referred, on the university's web page, to Mormons and Catholics as "cults which call themselves Christian." Furthermore, in 1966, BJU awarded an honorary doctorate to the
Rev. Ian Paisley, future British MP, leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, and Moderator of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, who has referred to the Pope as a "Roman anti-Christ." Bob Jones III has argued that the university is not so much anti-Catholic or anti-Mormon as it is opposed to the idea that all men, regardless of religious beliefs, will ventually get to heaven: "Our shame would be in telling people a lie, and thereby letting them go to hell without Christ because we loved their goodwill more than we loved them and their souls. All religion, including Catholicism, which teaches that salvation is by religious works or church dogma is false. Religion that makes the words of its leader, be he Pope or other, equal with the Word of God is false. Sola Scriptura. From the time of the Protestant Reformation onward, it has been understood that there is no commonality between the Bible way, which is justification by faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and salvation by works, which the faithful, practicing Catholic embraces." "

More Than These: A Call for Reformation
By Pastor Ralph Ovadal, 270 pages
( Read on-line )
A Story Which Needed Telling

An ecumenical epidemic has broken out in America. These days, many evangelical Christians accept Roman Catholics as “brothers and sisters in Christ” and the Roman Catholic Church as a Christian church, albeit with some unbiblical “doctrinal distinctives.” Pastor Ralph Ovadal believes that the pro-life movement has been one of the key factors, if not the key factor, in desensitizing Christians to the danger and sin of accepting the Roman Catholic Church as Christian. In More Than These, Pastor Ovadal begins with the Second Vatican Council of 1962-1965 and documents how the Roman Catholic Church has systematically used the pro-life movement, with the help of Christians, to advance its ecumenical strategy. In the writing of this book, Pastor Ovadal drew from his own extensive experiences working in virtually every area of the pro-life movement, beginning in the late 1970s and including the rescue movement. His years spent as a Christian radio and television program producer and host on a nationwide network provide an added perspective shared by few people. More Than These is also based on research from a wide range of sources, some of which are unavailable to all but a relatively small group of pro-life activists.

This book details how Roman Catholic influence and even doctrine has permeated the pro-life movement, including street-level activist ministries, Christian radio, the pregnancy center networks, and the hearts of major Christian ministries. It documents the damage that such influence has had on the cause of Christ, including actual stories of Protestants converted to the Roman Catholic Church due to Christians being involved in pro-life ministry with Catholics. More Than These is an exposé and a history book, but it is so much more than that. It is a personal story, a testimony, a documentary, a Bible study, and a clarion call for reformation. The lessons learned from this book should be applied not only to pro-life ministry but also to any and every Christian ministry work.

New (Ecumenical) Evangelicals and the Papal Fable
"New Evangelicals and the Papal Fable"
"... everything I have said is easily documented. ("If the Pope Wins America, What Will America Be?")
Of course, it goes without saying, everything mentioned pales in comparison to the blasphemy and idolatry
of Roman Catholic dogma and ritual. In short, Rome hates and is determined to crush everything
which is truly biblical, evangelical, Protestant, and American. Those who hide this truth, even yoking
with Romanists under the "Christian banner," are no friends of Christ, no friends to the lost Roman
Catholic people, and certainly no friends of America. The same could also be said of those Christians,
especially pastors and ministry leaders, who may not be ecumenical but also have no zeal to reprove
popish abominations and apparently have no love for the souls of Roman Catholic people."

TRUE CHRISTIANITY vs ROMAN CATHOLICISM

The Babylonian-based Roman Catholic system is drunken with the blood of the Bible-believing saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus, over centuries of ongoing Crusades, Inquisitions, and other persecutions, wars, and bloodletting of Bible-believing Christians and other non-Catholics.

Revelation 17:1,2,4-7,9,18 (KJV)
"Come hither; I will show 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."
"And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, 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 the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman,
and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns."
"And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth."
"And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."

AMERICA - A NATION UNDER DIVINE JUDGMENT

- Especially for murdering 3,000+ pre-born children per day, when establishing "Personhood" could end the slaughter in a week.
2 Chronicles 7:14 - God's remedy for America to be healed is for we who are CHRISTIANS to REPENT !
"If My people [Christians], which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways [sins of commission and omission]; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land [America, or any nation]."
Our only hope is REPENTANCE before God for our national sin, especially our national Bloodguilt.
Establishing "Personhood" for pre-born human beings, at fertilization, with no exceptions, would Establish Justice, and demonstrate to the One, True, Holy, and Almighty God, that we are sincere in our desire to bring America's 38+ year Child-Murder-by-"Abortion" Holocaust to an end.
Most of all, child-sacrifice/murder-by-"abortion" is an offense to God Himself. Mankind is created in His image (Gen. 1:26,27). God says, to commit child-sacrifice to Molech, is "to defile My sanctuary, and to profane My Holy Name." Leviticus 20:3

If child-murder-by-"abortion" were to end today in America, there would still remain the need to REPENT for all the innocent blood which has already been shed (over 53 Million murdered by surgical "abortion" alone, not counting the likely multiple times that number destroyed chemically by dual action contraceptive/abortifacient "birth control" pills, Depo-Provera, etc., ad nauseam).
Numbers 35:33; Jeremiah chapter 19; Psalm 106:37-44; 2 Kings 24:1-4 (KJV) - the shedding of innocent blood (e.g., child-murder/sacrifice-by-"abortion") incurs the righteous judgment of God upon a nation.
There is corporate bloodguilt upon the land, and upon we who dwell in America, for the 53+ Million pre-born human beings slaughtered in their mothers' wombs by surgical abortion, and for perhaps multiple times that amount destroyed by chemical "abortion" (including "Birth Control" pills, which act both contraceptively and abortifaciently).
Genesis 4:10; Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 19:10; Deuteronomy 21:1,2,7-9; Proverb 6:16,17;
Jeremiah 26:15; Jeremiah 32:35,36; Ezekiel 35:6; Hosea 4:2; Matthew 27:24,25 (KJV).

"The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a "person" within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well-known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's [ pro-abortion ] case, of course, collapses, [410 U.S. 113, 157] for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment." The appellant conceded as much on reargument. ... "

America is being ruled by tyrants, and we are being turned over to tyranny, by God Himself, because of the shedding of innocent blood of 3,000+ human beings in the wombs of mothers DAILY - over 1 MILLION per year, for over 38 years, when child-murder-by-"abortion" could be ENDED in ONE WEEK by passing FEDERAL PERSONHOOD legislation (e.g., HR 212, S.91, or even better, HR 1096) - if there was the vision, interest, will, and courage to do so.

9 Week Abortion

Read Psalm 106:37-44, KJV - God turns a nation of child-murderers over to tyranny.
Read Leviticus 20:3, KJV - Child-sacrifice is an offense to God. God says it defiles His Sanctuary and profanes His Holy Name. Human beings are created in HIS IMAGE.
