The God of the Roman Catholics is not the God of the Bible


There is a God who caused the Bible to be written in a language understandable by human faculties. To understand Him, He shares to us His feelings and emotions.

PSALMS 103:13 
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

ISAIAH 49:15 
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

 In the preceding verses God reveals to us His feelings and emotions that by our own emotions and feelings we can understand. 

 The God of the Bible is an exact God, in detail, in time, in needs, in number, and in all other senses necessary for us to acquire what can be exactly called “wisdom!” The wisdom that comes from God is real wisdom. In contrast, the wisdom of this world is lunacy!

I CORINTHIANS 1:20, 25 
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

 We underscore this difference in the midst of man insisting on his own wisdom and trying to measure God by his own conceit. 

 It is in God’s wisdom that He created things perceivable (like the universe) and things beyond the perception of men.

PSALMS 104:24 
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

COLOSSIANS 1:16 
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

 Here’s an excerpt from an article written by Nola Taylor Redd, SPACE.com Contributor dated December 24, 2013. It talks about scientists trying to discover the age of the earth, at the same time emphasizing their limitations in knowing everything. Scientists are still limited in that they can only know what they can see but not what they cannot, she said. 

How can a God, who created the spectacular universe and the unperceived wonders beyond its boundaries, lack or come short of wisdom and teachings in the Book, which He Himself authored?!!! 

 No professor in any field of science and education will write a book lacking in wisdom to produce another professor! A good teacher teaches everything he knows to produce students of his own caliber that will finally be his crowning glory as a teacher.

LUKE 6:40 
The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

MATTHEW 10:25 
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

 God Himself and His Son Jesus Christ authored the Bible. God ordained prophets of old to write His words and His will, and inspired later prophets to write and affirm information of those of the former.

ZECHARIAH 1:4 
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.

DANIEL 9:2 
In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

 Jesus Christ willed that “all” His teachings be written by the Apostles and Evangelists.

I CORINTHIANS 14:37 
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

REVELATION 1:11 
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

 Will God Almighty and the Savior Jesus Christ allow that their written teachings and instructions be found wanting so as to give way to traditions and invented dogmas of the Roman Catholic? What a stupid thinking! 

 Here’s what they are saying:


“The lesson, though, is this: relying on the "Bible alone" is a bad idea; we are not to rely solely on Sacred Scripture to understand Christ's message. While Scripture is "given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16-17), it is not sufficient for reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness.” (https://www.fisheaters.com/septuagint.html)

 These people are anti-Christ, trying every possible escape to include their invented fallacies to be accepted as biblical truth! We are not to rely solely on Sacred Scripture to understand Christ's message? In using the verse 2 Timothy 3:16-17, they used it in a perverted silly scheme which contents directly mention them. Note what they say: “(2 Timothy 3:16-17), it is not sufficient for reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness.” A very noticeable stupidity!!! Let us consider the verses.

II TIMOTHY 3:16-17 
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

 An elementary student may understand what these Catholic mentors do not because of the darkness that covers their mind! The concluding paragraph tells us “That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works,” meaning that the inspired scriptures is sufficient to teach a believer to be “perfect.” 

 Perfect in the Bible means “whole,” not wanting of anything, is complete. The Greek word ἄρτιος was used. “Thoroughly furnished” unto “all” good works! The quantifiers used by Apostle Paul, “thoroughly” and “all” affirm the completeness of the Holy Scriptures. There is no reason why a book intended by God to be an instrument of salvation to mankind be lacking in any essence of truth needed for its purpose!

II TIMOTHY 3:15 
And that from a child thou hast known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

 The Catholic belief in the Bible mingled with their stupid inventions of dogmas, traditions (written and invented), papal encyclicals and pronouncement ex-cathedra are apparently the works of anti-Christs! They are not Bible-based but are more devices of men!

II PETER 1:16 
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

 To safeguard the faith of Christians and the things that they should believe in, the apostles gave instructions from the Lord that, “you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written”!

I CORINTHIANS 4:6 (RSV) 
I have applied all this to myself and Apol'los for your benefit, brethren, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.

 Even an angel from heaven, having invented unwritten doctrines, must be cursed!

GALATIANS 1:8 
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

 The phrase, “angel from heaven” aggravates the intensity of this warning about the coming of invented doctrines beyond what is written by the Apostles. It is a possibility forewarned about. It is an attendant circumstance mentioned that makes more serious this warning. Who would think that an angel from heaven have in mind polluting the word of God? But since it is mentioned in the Bible, it is sure to come or has already come and we are to be alert and circumspect about it. We should not be willing to take risks. 

 Another favorite escape goat of the Catholic Church to introduce their invented doctrines to their blinded followers is John 20:30.

JOHN 20:30 
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

 Note that those that were not written are “signs” or σημεῖον in Greek which means “miracles,” they are not teachings or instructions or words to believe and live by! Other things were not written are:

JOHN 21:25 
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

 The word used is ποιέω in Greek means, “things done or made” - not teachings or instructions. Teachings and instructions that form part of the Christian faith are complete in the Inspired Scriptures! There must be no room or a little space for man’s invented doctrines and instructions to come in polluting God’s word!

PROVERBS 30:6 
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

 God is exact when He said:

JEREMIAH 26:2 
Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:

 He will surely penalize disobedience!

REVELATION 22:18-19 
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

 Thus we can conclude with certainty that the Catholic faith is “WRONG” when they say that the Bible is not enough “for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”! 

 To all my Catholic readers, may the God of the Bible open your understanding. 

 God bless you.

Logic, man! Not your self-serving lies in place of Biblical History


History written only within the capacity of man is not always reliable. 

 Take the history of the Assyrian empire. In the entire history of the empire, there was no mention of King Sargon. However, the Bible mentioned a man, whom the Bible called King Sargon of Assyria recorded in the book of Isaiah.

ISAIAH 20:1 
In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;

 But to confirm the historicity of the Bible, very recently, proofs of the reign of King Sargon was revealed. A myth he was for a long time, now archeology is helping Biblical truth prove his existence.


Sargon II was considered a Biblical myth throughout modern history until the archaeological excavations of the French scholar, Paul Emile Botta. Botta unearthed Sargon’s mighty palace at Dur Sharrukin (Khorsabad), just north of Nineveh near the Tigris river. This remarkable discovery had inscriptions on palace walls which proved many events in history and those mentioned in the Bible.

One of the inscriptions reads: "At the beginning of my rule, in the very first year I reigned…I set siege to and conquered Samaria…I carried away into captivity 27,290 persons who lived there; I took fifty fine chariots for my royal equipment." 

 http://www.bible-history.com/destruction_of_israel/destruction_of_israel_sargon_ii.html


Thus, when it comes to relating history, the Bible is quite different from other books available on this planet. History in the Bible is not just the recounting of what has passed. It is not linear but circular. Thus, it is made by looking forward to a foretold event in the form of a prophecy, and then after it was fulfilled, it is to look back into the past (the future foretold). 

The events comes full circle, tying the future, past and present so that often, we read of the expression, “I have told you before….” The connotation is that there is always the involvement of The Almighty in the order of things who is the “of Him, through Him and to Him are all things.” This is where the Bible is outstanding.


ISAIAH 46:9-10 
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

JOHN 13:19 
Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

 An account of the alleged history that under the St. Peter’s Basilica there were graves found with inscriptions “Buried near Peter.” This is surely self-serving! After all, a pope was the one who allegedly revealed it. But is this actual history with tangible evidence investigated to be true? Notice this lie where in the first place Peter had never been in Rome. Here’s an excerpt -


What about the archaeological evidence? In the middle decades of this century scientists conducted digs under St. Peter's Basilica to verify or disprove the tradition that the church had been constructed over Peter's tomb.

And what do you think they found? That's right: the tomb. Pope Paul VI was able to announce that conclusive proof had been discovered--for instance, neighboring crypts on which were written grafitti such as, "Buried near Peter." 

 (http://www.catholic.com/quickquestions/the-bible-says-that-peter-wasnt-in-rome-so-how-could-he-be-its-first-bishop)

 Peter could not have been a pope in Rome. Why? The assignment in Biblical context is clear.


GALATIANS 2:7-8 
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; 
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

 We must remember that earlier the original twelve were forbidden to go to the places of the Gentiles.

MATTHEW 10:5 
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

 It was when the Apostle Paul and Barnabas were called, that there were legitimate apostles destined to Gentile nations.


THE ACTS 13:46-47 
46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. 
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

THE ACTS 13:1-2 
1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 
2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

THE ACTS 26:17-18 
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

 It would be very unbecoming of Peter, who was destined to the Israelites, to sit as a reigning pope in the territory of the Gentiles. It is not only unbecoming but also illogical. It is against the will of the Lord. The Lord, who destines or designates, chose Paul to be an apostle to the Gentiles, including Rome. So why will Peter substitute himself for Paul, chosen by the Lord Himself? 

 It is not very easy to tell and relate the truth. Because of this blog, I have received not a pocketful but a bucketful of defamations from Catholic defenders. 

 Still and all, despite what defamers can do to me, no history - biblical or otherwise - will back up the claim that Peter stayed in Rome as the first pope. The history written in the Catholic encyclopedia by Catholics themselves, that the word “pope” was just invented in 521 AD used by Ennodius 400 years after the death of Peter, is a very clear proof of the fallacy of that claim that Peter was the first Pope! 

The apostles may augment the shortcomings of each one because it is a law of Christ. They were told to help each one meet the deficiencies of the other.

GALATIANS 6:2 
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

 Peter, sometime, because of the proximity to the place of necessity, was sent to witness unto a Gentile by the name of Cornelius - but not be an Apostle to the Gentiles.


THE ACTS 10:1-3 
1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 
2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. 
3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

 The God of the Bible is an exact God. He made Paul and Barnabas to be Apostles to the Gentiles - not so with Peter. So why will Peter go to Rome, reign as a pope, be crucified in the inverted manner, and die in Rome, while it was not his place of authority and designation? In fact, the Apostle Peter himself was submissive to the wisdom and ability of the Apostle Paul in administering the churches of the Gentiles.

GALATIANS 2:9 
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen (Gentiles), and they unto the circumcision. (Cephas is Peter.)

 In his farewell letter to Timothy, when his days were counted, the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy the second letter, written in Rome in 65 AD, tasking Timothy to come to him the earliest possible time.


II TIMOTHY 4:6-9 
6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 
9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

 The tone suggests a clear possibility that the Apostle Paul would be dying in Rome where he was at that time. In the spirit, in practice, and history of the Roman Catholic Church or Catholic Church Peter could not have been a pope! Here are four reasons: 

 First, Peter was married. As a supposed Pope, Peter would prohibit his successors to marry. As a married man in reality, would he do that when he, himself is married? Would it not be unfair? It most certainly is unfair.


I CORINTHIANS 9:1-4 
1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? 
2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. 
3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this, 
4 Have we not power to eat and to drink? 
5 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?
(Cephas is Peter.)

 Second, the character of Peter is such that he will not allow his subjects, being the highest authority, to call him “Pope,” because he is an obedient apostle. Pope means “papa” or Father.


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

 The word “pope” was never used by this apostle. The fact that “pope” is not written in the New Testament is an evidence against it as bright as the noonday sun. Third, the Apostle Peter will not allow his constituents to bow down before him as the Popes have been practicing for the past centuries. This is a form of idolatry.

THE ACTS 10:25-26 
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. 
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

 The practices of the popes now, accepting the praises and the kneeling down of people before them, is a clear indication that they are not successors to Peter. 

 Fourth, Peter is not power-hungry. He cannot be, from the start, a bishop of Rome that eventually rose to the power of being the overall leader of the Catholic Church. Consider power and the greed for more power as described below - 

 Why not Peter? Because biblically speaking, Paul was the bishop of Rome - considering places of assignment. Paul established the church in Rome and was the caretaker of the church in Rome. How can Peter be the bishop in Rome? Peter would never compete with Apostle Paul. It is reflective in Peter’s letter that tells the first century Christians his respect for the wisdom of Paul.


II PETER 3:15-17 
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction. 
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.

 THIS IS THE TRUTH!!!! Biblical history, logic, and the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ together deny the alleged papacy of Peter. 

 More to come, God willing. 

 God bless you.

Never a Pope, Never in Rome, was Apostle Peter


Peter was never a pope, more so, in Rome. 

 Pope means father. Notice what is written for the subject, “The Pope,” in the Catholic Encyclopedia (Herberman, Charles G. et al., ed. 1907. The Catholic Encyclopedia. Volume 1: Aachen–Assize. New York: Robert Appleton Company.) 

 A backgrounder on this encyclopedia says it is “an international work of reference on the constitution, doctrine, discipline, and history of the Catholic Church.” 

 The preface explains that the first volume appeared in March 1907 and the last three volumes appeared in 1912. In 1914 a master index volume followed and supplementary volumes later on. It was designed "to give its readers full and authoritative information on the entire cycle of Catholic interests, action and doctrine.” 

 Now, on the subject of “The Pope” is a blatant error in that St. Peter is erroneously involved where he is not mentioned in the Bible as such. 

 Note: The pencil marks here mean discussions will not include these items on St. Ennodius and the Western Church. On the title, “Pope” and other titles that clericals use, we refer to biblical examples - -Pope-1(The Catholic Encylopedia) 
Giving orders and discipline to His apostles said, the Lord Jesus Christ said -

MATTHEW 23:8-10 
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

 None of the apostles ever affixed the word "Father" to their names. Nowhere in the Bible can we find "Father Paul" or "Father Peter.” They were addressed as "brothers" or "brethren" in conformity with the order of the Lord Jesus Christ that "all ye are brethren."

THE ACTS 2:37 
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?

 In this particular verses, the apostles were addressed as "brethren" not "fathers.” 

 A simple equation and analysis will reveal the great lie being propagated by the Catholic Church, saying that Peter was the first pope! 

 The word "pope" was invented by Catholic authorities only in the 6th century. papas 
How can Peter be a pope when the Office of the Pope and the title were created by the Catholic Church five hundred years after the death of Peter! This is laughable stupidity! 

 The Apostle Paul called Timothy, Titus, and other Christians as his "own sons in faith" but never instructed neither Timothy nor Titus to call him "Father.”

I TIMOTHY 1:2 
Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

TITUS 1:4 
To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

 Let us read again Matthew 23:9.

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

The teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ are spiritual.

JOHN 6:63 
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

 When He said, "Call no man your father upon the earth,” He refers to spiritual matters of faith. Spiritually speaking, we must call only one person "Father," and that is the Father in heaven. There is a person on earth we can call our father but carnal and not spiritual.

HEBREWS 12:9 
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

 Catholic priests and popes are neither our carnal fathers nor spiritual fathers. They have no right whatsoever to be called "Father" in any angle of truth! But why do Catholic priests love to be called "father" by their constituents? Spiritual Father-MCD Remember, we have only one person to be addressed as "Father" spiritually, and that is the Father in heaven. This honor is being grabbed by the false teaching of Catholic priests and authorities! To prove that they are lying, they use mistranslated scriptures. They justify their Father titles with this one -

I CORINTHIANS 4:15 (English Standard Version) 
For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

 However, if we consult the interlinear Greek translation of the scriptures, the phrase "I became your father" in the preceding verse is not found.

1Co 4:15 ForG1063 thoughG1437 ye haveG2192 ten thousandG3463 instructorsG3807 inG1722 Christ,G5547 yetG235 have ye notG3756 manyG4183 fathers:G3962 forG1063 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 IG1473 have begottenG1080 youG5209 throughG1223 theG3588 gospel.G2098

 The word used and translated in English as "begotten" is γεννάω, meaning, "be born".

γεννάω 
gennaō 
From a variation of G1085; to procreate (properly of the father, but by extension of the mother); figuratively to regenerate: - bear, beget, be born, bring forth, conceive, be delivered of, gender, make, spring.

 Consider that by using 1 Corinthians 4:15-16, the Catholics in their official website did not use the authorized Roman Catholic Bible which is the Douay-Rheims Version. They used another version that is not a Catholic Version to mislead people so they can cling on to their “Father” tradition.

I CORINTHIANS 4:15 (Douay–Rheims Version) 
For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you.

 See? “I have begotten you” is worlds apart from “I became your father.” It is easily noticeable that in the authorized version of the Catholic Church, the word "father" does not appear in the verse but the phrase " I have begotten you,” forcing them to use a version of the Bible which they do not normally use. 

 What exactly is the teaching of the Catholic Church regarding the use of other translation of the Bible? Notice the sanctions mentioned in the following publications –

The Catholic Encyclopedia, under "Scripture,” notes that the Synod of Tarragona (1233/4) issued a prohibition, similar to that of the Synod of Toulouse. It also "ordered all vernacular versions to be brought to the bishop to be burned." [Source: Antony Stockwell (2014) “A Corrupt Tree, An Encyclopaedia of Crimes committed by the Church of Rome against Humanity and the Human Spirit.]

King Ferdinand II of Aragon (called “the Catholic”) and Queen Isabella I “prohibited all, under the severest pains, from translating the sacred scripture into the vulgar tongues, or from using it when translated by others” (M’Crie, p. 192). [Source: Thomas M’Crie. History of the Progress and Suppression of the Reformation in Spain in the sixteenth century, page 192.]

In 1408, the Constitutions of Thomas Arundel, issued by the Archbishop of Canterbury, demanded: We therefore decree and ordain that no man shall, hereafter, by his own authority, translate any text of the scripture into English, or any other tongue, by way of a book, libel, or treatise, now lately set forth in the time of John Wyckliff, or since, or hereafter to be set forth, in part or in whole, privily or apertly, upon pain of greater excommunication, until the said translation be allowed by the ordinary of the place, or, if the case so require, by the council provincial. [Source: Antony Stockwell (2014) “A Corrupt Tree, An Encyclopaedia of Crimes committed by the Church of Rome against Humanity and the Human Spirit,” pages 474-475]

 To escape from the consequence of their invented teaching that Catholic priests are spiritual fathers, they use an unauthorized version of the Bible! 

 This one is worth considering. Using their invented title "Father,” they do not simply use it! To show the height of their stupidity and arrogance they go beyond, affixing several adjective phrases like "Reverend Father,” "Most Reverend Father,” "Most Holy Father," “The Very Reverend,” “Right Reverend,” and the like. These are titles that are most blasphemous, because when they invoke the name of the Father in heaven in prayers, they just say "Our Father" not "Reverend Father,” not "Very Reverend Father,” when it is certainly biblical that only the Father in heaven must be addressed "Reverend.”

PSALMS 111:9 
He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and reverend is his name.

 The word ירא , translated as "reverend" in English, was used in only one instance in the Bible to show the greatness of the name of God. But the Catholic Church, time and again, have used and misused this word for themselves. Truly, the Great Babylon and the Beast in the Bible is full of blasphemous names!

REVELATION 17:3 
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

 Peter could not have been a pope, let alone in Rome! Why? Because he is Apostle to the Israelites and not to the Gentiles!

GALATIANS 2:7-8 
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; 
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

 Thinking wisely and justly, will it be possible that the Apostle Paul be renting a place to live for two years and never seeing Peter in Rome? If indeed "Pope Peter" was in Rome, why did he never visit Paul in his rented apartment? Both of them are Apostles with the same commission; if staying in the same area, would their behavior be one of avoiding each other?

THE ACTS 28:16, 30-31 
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him. 
30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, 
31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

 If Peter was in Rome allegedly being the first pope, it will be very unbecoming of a senior apostle not to show any act of compassion to his co-apostle, who is under house arrest, renting a place to live for two years! 

 What can explain all these injustices done by a senior apostle to a co-apostle? Answer: the lies of the Roman Catholic Church! 

 More to come. May God bless you.

The Shaky Foundation of the Roman Catholic Church


For almost two millennia, no attacks on the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church were humbly accepted by their leaders. Neither was there any explanation for their beliefs or correction for their flaws. For example, time and again, they insist that Peter is the "rock" foundation of the church and therefore, was the first pope that gave the right to succeeding popes to rule over spiritual, political, and economic matters of the church. Is this correct? Are they even checking where their beliefs come from? 

 This goes back to the problem of their dictionary that is supposed only to define, being a dictionary. But the Modern Catholic Dictionary goes beyond defining. The supposed dictionary arrogates unto itself the right to include many other myths and false stories that directly oppose the teachings of the Bible and attaches them to the word being defined. The effect is more propagation of falsities. The following information explains why. 

 The publisher, Amazon, introduces the Modern Catholic Dictionary (1980) by John Hardon as “A compilation of five thousand concisely defined terms which deal directly and indirectly with Catholic faith, worship, morals, history, and spirituality, supplemented by The Credo of the People of God as pronounced by Pope Paul VI.” 

 The source of their teachings contained in their dictionary is clearly not the Bible but tradition, history, popes. Hardon is an American Jesuit priest who was born in 1914
and died in 2000. 

 In the Modern Catholic Dictionary, the Apostle Peter is incorrectly referred to as “the rock” and claims that, that is the meaning of Matthew 16:18 in the Bible. 

It is also the foundation of the false belief that there is continuity of power emanating from the chair of Peter up to now. The chair of Peter represents the power to teach infallibly ex-cathedra according to them.

This belief attracted almost all kinds of people from all walks of life to adhere to the alleged genuineness of the Roman Catholic Church. But the Bible refutes every angle of this doctrine, and let me show you how. 

 First, Peter is not the foundation rock of the true church. 

 Let us refer to the teachings of the Bible. In Matthew 16:18, the word used as foundation is "petra".

G4073 
πέτρα 
petra 
pet'-ra 
Feminine of the same as G4074; a (mass of) rock (literally or figuratively): - rock.

 Petra in the feminine gender is clearly not "petros" in the masculine gender that they presume to be Peter.

G4074 
Πέτρος 
Petros 
pet'-ros 
Apparently a primary word; a (piece of) rock (larger than G3037); as a name, Petrus, an apostle: - Peter, rock. Compare G2786.

MATTHEW 16:18 
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

 The use of the word "upon" or "ἐπί (epi)" means it is the foundation. Christ is the foundation laid by God Himself.

I CORINTHIANS 3:11 
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

 Time and again, Christ being the corner stone, is repeated in the Holy Scriptures.

THE ACTS 4:10-12 
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 
11 This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

PSALMS 118:22 
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

 The concluding and the sealing truth is that even Peter was founded upon this foundation. It is also logical that a mere human being cannot be the foundation or corner stone of truth upon which to build a church.

EPHESIANS 2:20 
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

 The foundation even of Peter is Christ! PERIOD! 

 A human being like Peter cannot be the foundation of truth. Only someone divine or God can be, as only God does not lie.

THE ROMANS 3:4 
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

TITUS 1:2 
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

HEBREWS 6:18 
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

 Someone divine like Christ is worthy of being the foundation of the truth and the true church.

I TIMOTHY 3:15-16 (LAMSA TRANSLATION) 
15 So that if I am delayed, you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. 
16 Truly great is this divine mystery of righteousness; it is revealed in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

 Christ – not Peter - by His power is worthy to be the foundation of every great and fragile truth!

COLOSSIANS 2:2-3 
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

 As the Word of God, Christ – not Peter - is the foundation of faith.

JOHN 1:1 
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

MATTHEW 7:24-25 
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock.

 Christ is the foundation of creation.

JOHN 1:1-3 
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 
2 The same was in the beginning with God. 
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

COLOSSIANS 1:16 
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

HEBREWS 11:3 
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

 Christ is the foundation of faith.

HEBREWS 12:2 
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The faith of Christ – not Peter’s - is the model faith of every Christian.

JAMES 2:1 
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

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

 The RCC claim that someone sitting and speaking from the throne of Peter is infallible. 

 This claim is not substantiated by facts and history! 

 One simple truth is about two hundred sixty (260) popes speaking ex cathedra of limbo and purgatory. But one pope speaking ex cathedra, denies limbo. 

 Can you not see this very simple contradiction? Majority of popes speaking "ex cathedra" said that "there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church." 

 Later popes speaking ex cathedra said that salvation can be attained outside the Catholic Church. 

 Here is what the Modern Catholic Dictionary has to say on Ecumenism. Popes from the Vatican Council pronounced ex cathedra in Ecumenism the belief that they must be one with other churches. 

And yet you can still hear them hammering on their man-made truth that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church. 

 There are yet the many lies coming out of their having made Peter their rock of their salvation. Many of their believers have been beguiled and robbed of their salvation. To begin with, building your foundation upon a human being is bound to make a mountain of lies. Even Peter would not agree since he is a true follower of Christ. 

 More to come. May God bless you.
