THE ROMAN
CATHOLIC CHURCH
Is the church of Rome
biblical Christianity? What is her origin? Does she
represent Jesus Christ?
Rome had no culture of its own. When the Roman
Empire conquered the Greeks, Rome adopted Greek
philosophy and the state religion called Mithra.
When pagan Rome evolved into papal Rome, the Roman
Catholic church was born. The Roman Catholic church
mixed both Christianity with Mithraism which does
not square with the teachings of the Bible.
About
REVELATION 17
'And there came one of the seven angels which had
the seven vials, and talked with me saying unto me,
Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment the
great whore that is seated on many waters.'
[verse1].
Pictured is a great religious Whore inside
Christianity that claims to be the Mother church and
has so corrupted herself that she prostituted all
the New Testament teachings.
Question: “What is a Whore in the Bible”? Answer:
“You adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that
friendship with the world is enmity with God?
Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is
an enemy of God!”.—James 4:4
Verse 2 tells us that she committed whoredom with
the kings or rulers of this world. In order to
please politicians, you have to lower the high
standard of Christ and Christianity so that the
world feels no enmity but friendship towards her.
Question: “How did the Mother church do this?
Answer: “By corrupting the teachings of the Bible.”
A woman in the Bible refers to a church. A pure
woman belongs to Christ and represents true
Christianity. The apostle Paul wrote: “I have
espoused you to one Husband that I may present you
as a pure virgin.”—2.Corinthians 11:2
Question: “What does it mean that the whore is
seated on many waters?” Answer: “Water represents
masses of people [see verse 15] because the world is
united against the true Christ but easily accepts a
false and counterfeit Christ and Christians.
This corruption occurred very soon after
Christianity was established. We know this from
Paul’s writings who said: “For I know that after my
departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you,
not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall
men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw
disciples after them.”---Acts 20:29,30.
1.] Roman Csatholic leaders call themselves by the forbidden
religious title of Father [Matthew 23:7].
2.] Instead of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ
and Him crucified, she replaced it with ceremonies
held in a dead language of Latin to spread darkness
all around.
3.] Her leaders are called priests which are
contrary to the Bible which calls all believers
priests.
4.] She invented canonizations in opposition to the
Bible which calls all Believers ‘Saints’ because of
the Holy Spirit which all Bible Believers must
receive.
5.] The Bible brings every Believer to Christ
individually and directly whereas the Church of Rome
claims that Christ is in the sacraments and the
wafer which is great blasphemy.
6.] She has done away with Baptism and prostituted
it with sprinkling which has no meaning at all
whereas the very word ‘Baptism’ means to plunge
under or immerse and represents the death, burial
and the resurrection of Christ with the newly
baptized member who dies to sin and self and rises
to walk in newness of life [Romans 6].
7.] Rome removed the second of the 10 Commandments
which forbids images and statutes so she could start
idolatry and worshipping humans instead of deity.
Mary, the saints falsely so called. Adoration of
these humans is idolatry.
8.] Because Romans worshipped the sun, they also
wanted their own day of sun worship and so the
Seventh day Sabbath of Christ and the 10
Commandments was removed and the day of idolatry put
in its place still bearing this title today-Sunday.
The first day of the week.
9.] Because the Romans had no culture of their own,
when they conquered the Greek Empire, they also
adopted the Greek philosophy and religion called
Mithra and corrupted Christianity with it. Empowered
by the state and the Devil 1.Thimothhy 4 and Acts
20:29,30 tells us that the Holy Spirit expressively
speaks that in the latter times [which began back
then see Hebrews 1:2] some shall depart from the
faith, giving heed [or attention] to seducing
spirits and doctrines [teachings] of demons,
speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience
seared with a hot iron.
Forbidding to marry and abstaining from meats
[foods].
Here we have it. Demonic Doctrines and forbidding
their Nuns, Monks, and Priests to marry and abstain
from meat on Fridays and bringing into Christianity
pagan or demonic teachings. Acts 20:29,30 says that
soon after Paul’s departing grievous wolves in sheep
clothing would enter the fold not sparing the flock
and speaking perverse things. No doubt, the
inquisition murdered millions of true Christians who
believed the Bible and refused the Roman heresies.
Not sparing the flock is putting it mildly when they
under Satan invented the most cruel and horrible
torture methods on the rack and burned the Bible
Believers at the stake blasphemously holding a cross
in front of them.
Speaking perverse things and blasphemies. Justin
Martyr was the first Greek philosopher living in
Rome that did pervert the Lord’s Supper with the
Eucharist taken directly from the new state religion
of Mithra where they offered food and alcoholic wine
to their sun god. That is why the church of Rome
still uses alcohol that supposes to represent the
pure blood of Jesus. In Mithraism the leaders were
called Padre or Pater which means Father and that is
why the church of Rome still name their priests
Father and the chief priest Pope or Papa meaning
chief father. They are wearing the idolatrous
garments of Mithraism to this very day including the
Miter or fish hat.
Other Dr.'s of Rome that doctored the Christian
biblical teachings are Ignatius, Barnabas,
Irenaeus, Clement, Tertullian
and Augustine.Historians tell us that
their writings are of doubtful origin. These are the
builders of the church of Rome.
10.] The use of candles, prayer book, rosary beads
and hell, purgatory, limbo are also of pagan origin.
The halo and wafer of the mass in the shape of the
sun disc as well as the sun monstrance is directly
related to the idolatrous sun worship.
11. The forgeries such as the donation of
Constantine claiming that the Pope is the successor
of Peter and that God gave them liberty to
adulterate the truth with error and falsehood.
Blasphemously claiming that the Pope is Gods rep
here on earth taking the place of the Holy Spirit.
12.]Because of all this, the Protestant Reformers
recognized in the Papal system, the very Anti-Christ
or Counterfeit Christ. But today, in their darkness
and apostasy into which Protestantism has sunk, they
no longer believe this and as a result God has sent
them the promised strong delusion of 2.Thessalonians
2 so that they now believe a lie. Protestantism has
accepted what they once despised and fought against.
They use to protest the falsehoods of the church of
Rome. Protestantism had retained many of the errors
of Rome such as the false baptism and the false
Sabbath day as well as the pagan view of God that he
delights in torturing His wayward children forever
in hell.
13.] The state of the dead. The Bible declares that
when you die, you are truly dead. The Devil in the
garden of Eden told Eve the lie that when you die
you are not really dead and this lie is being
repeated in Christian pulpits and most pagan
religions. But this doctrine has been the Devil’s
way of deception. Spiritualism is the forbidden art
of Necromancy when the Pope and others speak to the
supposedly departed dead people like Mother Mary
they are speaking directly to demons.
14.] Papal Rome forbade and burned the Bible during
the dark ages. There is no love for God, His holy
book nor can they love their enemies.
15.] A state-church is by its very name and nature
an enemy of God [James 4:4; Revelation 17].
16.] The second angel of Revelation 14 warns About
the Wine of Babylon
Rev.14:8 Babylon is said to be the Mother of
harlots. [All brothels have an elderly experienced
whore looking after the young girls.] By her
daughters must be symbolized churches that cling to
her doctrines and traditions, and follow her example
of sacrificing the truth and approval of God, in
order to form an unlawful alliance with the world.
The message of Revelation 14, announcing the fall of
Babylon must apply to religious bodies that were
once pure and have become corrupt. GC 382,383.
Note that friendship with the world is enmity with
God [James 4:4].
“What is the Wine?
Her false doctrines. She has given the world a false
Sabbath of the fourth commandment and many more like
we listed above in our opening statements. Recently
we heard the pope saying that the second Vatican
council was a mistake and Protestants are also
saying that Reformation was a mistake. There seems
to be no end to the apostasy and compromising.
If we turn from the testimony of God’s word, and
accept false doctrines because our fathers taught
them, we fall under the condemnation pronounced upon
Babylon; we are drinking of the wine of her
abominations. GC 536,537.[Great Controversy]
Instead of living by faith alone, papal Rome
believes Gnosticism where you live by sight. All
around you remains you of what you suppose to
believe because you can touch it. Statues, images,
shrines, pilgrimages and even prayers are printed
for you in a book.
Greek philosophy has replaced God’s light.
Let us take heed of the warnings of Christ: “In vain
do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.” Matthew 15:9.
In Daniel 7:25 the papal little horn that grew
exceedingly is said to have the eyes of a man. This
means that he sees it all with human understanding.
In Ephesians 1:17,18 it speaks of the eyes of
understanding wisdom and Revelations as God gives
us.
The New Testament scriptures in Hebrews 9:24 says
that Jesus is not entered into the holy places made
with hands [earthly Sanctuary], which are the
figures of the true [the heavenly sanctuary]; but
into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of
God for us.
Papal Rome is pictured in Daniel chapters seven and
eight as the little horn power that exalts itself
unto heaven and took away Christ’s sacrifice and
cast down His sanctuary. Daniel 8:11
The sanctuary here on earth taught the complete plan
of Salvation in a passion play fashion in great
detail. Because the church of Rome substituted
Christ’s heavenly priesthood with a counterfeit
priesthood of their own, that Protestantism today
denies that such a sanctuary even exists in Heaven.
Soon as the 1260 days of year’s prophecy ended in
1798a.d and the papal power was broken by Napoleon,
Protestantism stopped their protest and started to
go back to Rome.
Just as the papacy cast down the sanctuary truth,
the first angel in Revelation 14:6 announces the
beginning of God’s final hour of judgment and ask
the whole world to come back and worship the creator
God and not evolution as the church of Rome teaches.
The first angel is quoting directly from the 4th of
the 10 Commandments where the Seventh Day Sabbath of
the Lord Jesus [Mark 2:28;Rev1:10] the true Lord’s
day has been supplanted by a counterfeit day from
sun- worship.
The hour of God’s judgment began in 1844 A.D. at the
end of the 2300 day of years when Jesus our great
high Priest in the heavenly Sanctuary began
officially the investigative judgment also known to
the Jews as Yom Kippur or the day of the final
Atonement. At the cross Jesus atoned for our sins,
but now in the final atonement, he makes the at-one-ment
with us. The means that in Revelation 14:12 those
who heeded the warning of all the three angels are
now keeping all of the 10 Commandments of God as
they are seen in the heavenly Sanctuary of the most
holy place and the presence of God.
Those who rejected the first angel of Revelation 14
could not be benefited by the successive 2nd and 3rd
angel’s messages and are left in utter darkness.
Their compromising will end up stockpiling their
sins [Rev18] and receiving the strong delusion
promised by God Himself found in 2.Thessalonians 2
to all those who prefer a lie and error in place of
biblical truth.
The beast "was not" is the phase when religion and
state are separated and people have religious
freedom. But the woman (Catholicism and Protestantism)
mount the beast and recombine the state with
religion for a last show of religious force and
intolerance.
The greatest of all blasphemies by the church of
Rome [Italy] is the Mess by which it is claimed that
the priests become the creators of the Creator Jesus
Christ by turning the little round sun disc into the
actual living body of Christ.
Peter_Pope?
"In A.D. 58 Paul wrote to the Romans, but does not
mention Peter. In Romans 1:11, he wants to impart
special gifts, and in Romans 1:15 he is ready to
preach there. He sends greetings to twenty-seven
persons, but none to Peter.
"In 61 Paul is conveyed a prisoner to Rome, and
certain brethren go to meet him, but not Peter.
"At Rome Paul writes to the Galatians, and mentions
Peter, but not as being there or as having been
pontiff there for twenty years [as the Roman
Catholic Church claims].
"The Epistles to the Ephesians, Philippians,
Colossians and Philemon were all written from Rome;
but while others are mentioned as sending messages,
or as being associated with Paul, Peter is never
once mentioned.
"From Rome also Paul's last letter is written (the
Second Epistle to Timothy). He says, 'At my first
answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me'
(2 Timothy 4:16). So that if Peter were Bishop of
Rome he enjoyed an immunity which was not accorded
to Paul, and is guilty of having forsaken the great
apostle.
"And, finally, in this very Epistle, written from
Rome immediately before his martyrdom, Paul says,
'Only Luke is with me' (2 Timothy 4:11). This is
conclusive.
"So Paul had written to Rome, he had been in Rome,
and at the end he writes from Rome, and not only
never once mentions Peter, but declares, 'Only Luke
is with me.'"
While it is possible that Peter visited Rome briefly
at some point, the biblical record testifies
conclusively that he was not the bishop of the
church at Rome.
See also "Peter vs. the Popes."
1. There is no evidence that Peter was in Rome
(Romans 16), and there is no evidence in the New
Testament that there was anything special about the
congregation at Rome, but the popes rule in Rome and
claim that it is the "mother church." Peter's first
epistle was written from Babylon, not from Rome, and
the popes' claim that "Babylon" stands for Rome is
mere conjecture. The biblical evidence that Peter
was not a leader in the church at Rome is
overwhelming. Paul wrote TO the church at Rome in
A.D. 58, but though he mentions 27 people by name,
he does not mention Peter. That would have been an
inexcusable affront if Peter had been the pope at
Rome. Later, Paul writes FROM Rome to the Galatians,
the Ephesians, the Philippians, the Colossians, and
to Philemon, but not once does he mention that Peter
is in Rome. In 2 Timothy 4:16 Paul said that no man
stood with him and all forsook him when he answered
his charges. Where was Pope Peter? The fact is that
Peter was not a pope and he was not in Rome.
2. Peter was married (Matthew 8:14), but the popes
cannot marry.
3. Peter said Holy Scripture is the sure Word of God
and to this alone we are to give heed (2 Peter
1:19-21), but the popes say we are also to heed
their uninspired traditions.
4. Peter warned of false teachers who would make
merchandise of God's people (2 Peter 2:1-3), but the
popes have not feared to sell their masses and their
prayers and their indulgences.
5. Peter said baptism is a figure, a symbol, and
that it is not water which saves us, but the
resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 3:21), but the
popes say that baptism itself brings salvation and
that it is not merely symbolic.
6. Peter refused worship (Acts 10:25-26), but the
popes have accepted honor and bowings and kissings
which border on worship and have allowed themselves
to be treated almost as gods.
7. Peter taught that salvation is strictly through
the righteousness of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:1), but
the popes claim that their sacraments are also
necessary for salvation.
8. Peter taught against hierarchicalism, warning the
pastors against "being lords over God's heritage" (1
Peter 5:1-4), and Peter mentioned no church office
other than that of the elder; but the popes have set
up a system of ecclesiastical lordship over the
churches, and have added many offices which are
never mentioned in the New Testament.
9. Peter taught that the only priesthood in the New
Testament dispensation is the High priesthood of
Jesus Christ and the general priesthood of all
believers (1 Peter 2:9), but the popes say that
their "church" has a special priesthood which is
ordained to distribute sacraments.
10. Peter taught that Jesus Christ is the rock upon
which the church is founded (1 Peter 2:4-8), but the
popes say that Peter was the rock.
11. Peter taught that men are born again through the
Word of God (1 Peter 1:23), but the popes say that
men are born again through baptism.
12. Peter taught that Christ has "once suffered for
sins" (1 Peter 3:18), and "bare our sins in his own
body on the tree" (1 Peter 2:24); but the popes say
that Christ is sacrificed anew in each mass and that
having Jesus Christ and his cross is not enough,
that a believer also needs the Roman Catholic Church
and its sacraments and priesthood.
13. Peter taught that the believer has a living
hope, that he has an inheritance reserved in heaven,
and that he is kept by the power of God (1 Peter
1:2-5); but the popes say that a believer cannot
know for sure that he has a home in heaven.
14. Peter taught that the believer is not to be a
murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or a busybody
in other men's matters (1 Peter 4:15); but the popes
have been all of these things.

Because the Protestant Reformers Unitedly declared
the Papal See to be the very Anti-Christ as pictured
in 2.Thessalonians chapter 2 as the power that is
seated in God's church claiming to be god. The pope
has a triple crown [The Tiara] by which he
supposedly be the king of heaven, earth and the
lower region [hell].
Also because the pope and the Roman Catholic church
fits the picture of the little horn in Daniel 7:25
that put itself above God by claiming the power to
change the very holy law of God.
The Roman Catholic Church commissioned the Jesuit
priest Luis de Alcazar with the Counter-reformation
teaching called "Pretorism" which directed away from
Rome as the Ant-Christ to an ancient Persian king by
name of Antiochus Epiphanes. But because many of the
identifying marks in the biblical book of Daniel did
not fit to squarly and the fact that Jesus
prophesied that this anti-christ was still in the
future of Jesus time here on earth. So the Roman
Catholic Church commissioned another Jesuit priest
by the name of Francisco Ribera to come up with a
better formula to direct the anti-christ stigma away
from the church of Rome.
Ribera invented "Futurism" which contradicts his
predecessor Alcazar by pointing very far into the
future instead of the past. Both Pretorism and
Futurism has now been fully accepted in one form or
another by the "fallen" Protestants. Ribera's
scenario of the secret rapture, the rebuilding of
the jewish temple at Jerusalem was enhanced by
English Protestant John Nelson Darby and his "Dispensationalism"
so popular today with Protestants. A certain M.M.M.
Miss Margaret MacDonald received vision of a twofold
coming of Christ [rapture] that is unbiblical.
Ribera also split the completed prophecy of Daniel
9:24-27 where he takes that last prophetic week of
literal seven years and projected it 2000 years
ahead into the future.
Revelation 13 speaks of the sea beast with the name
of blasphemy that inherited all the features of her
previous beasts or kingdom outlined in the book of
Daniel. It speaks of a deadly wound which was
inflicted by Protestantism and later by Napoleon
arresting the Pope in Rome. Revelation 13 gives us
the exact time of 42 month or 1260 days of prophetic
time in which that power had absolute control.
namely from 538 A.D to 1798 A.D. making it exactly
1260 years. The Bible says in Revelation 2:10 that
the tribulation would last for 10 days. This is
exactly 10 prophetic years as the persecution of
Diocletian is confirmed by historians.
But of greater concern is fallen Protestant America
that will make an image to the first beast by
introducing a boycott [Rev.13:16,17] to deny the
necessities of life unless we conform to the false
worship of the first beast.
Because the Protestant Churches have rejected God's
Three Angels Messages send to them in 1844 A.D. that
God promised the strong delusion of 2.Thessalonians
2 so that they now believe a lie. It would have
saved them from being deceived and blinded by Rome's
counter-reformation teachings. The false fire coming
down in the sight of men and not God, is the
counterfeit Holy Spirit as cloven tongues of fire in
Acts 2. Revelation 13:13 shows them as false
miracles.
The Three Angels Messages of Revelation would
restore their lawlessness to the commands of God and
the faith of Jesus [Revelation 14:6-12; 12:17]. The
coming boycott and tribulation is God's way of
forcing us all to make decisions for or against the
truth of the Bible. The deadly wound of the first
beast, the Roman Catholic Church is indeed healed
again.
Pope Benedict's last assertion claims that the Roman
Catholic Church is the only true church, makes the
document "Protestants and Catholics working
together" a fake document. Go and visit Roman
Catholic countries and observe all the rites,
ceremonies and processions that nothing has changed.
The only time when they will work together, is when
Protestant America will force the Sunday law boycott
of Revelation 13 onto the entire world making an
image to the Roman Catholic Church which has done
the same thing before during the Dark Ages.
