The Roman Catholic Church 
 
*This is especially for many people propping up the Catholic Church as almost divine like Oil Empirepraising the Pope in his condemnation of the Iraq War, etc. Orbiting the Roman Catholic Church areheresies and great superstitions. The origin of the Catholic Church appears to be when EmperorConstantine created a state church 312 A.D. after his “conversion to Christianity.”
By 606 A.D., themodern Papacy as you see it today was fully activated. Very few Christians expose its falsedoctrines since it’s composed over 1.1 billion individually globally
. People are also scaredbecause of the backlash since Catholicism worldwide is extremely potent in the media, religiousaffairs intentionally, etc. Sometimes taking the unpopular course is the most courageous stance forto hate the world and go against the grain is a sign of being of God.
Usually [it happened to me]when anyone legitimately layout bible verses and other evidence that contradict the preceptsof Roman Catholicism, Catholics and pro-Papist Protestants will label you as an anti-Catholicbigot or a basher.
The fact of the matter is that I hate the Catholic religion and never Catholicspersonally.Manifesting Roman Catholicism’s deceit show care and love for deluded Catholics nothatred.
 
 
There are numerous Catholics who are trying their best to find a real relationship with God, but Godin Revelation is calling them to leave. It’s not necessary to be apart of a church incorporatingfalsehoods for so long then expecting it to reform. Some Catholic apologists attempt to discreditBible-believers claiming that before Luther; only the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches existed.This is flat out false for before the Reformation, Waldensians, the Anabaptists, The Celtic Church,Benegarians, the Church of the East, independent groups, and other religious Christian churchesexisted from the time of the Apostles to 1519 as the remnant. God said he will preserve his churchforever. Other Catholic apologists claim that Protestantism is flawed because it split into 25,000 to30,000 different denominations.Additionally, they view that Protestants exhibit so much disagreement, that no Protestant is apart ofChrist’s church. Is this a just case? No, see there is basic unity among all Protestants and Baptistsfor we all agree on the Foundational doctrines of Christianity (This is what makes you a Christian likethe Incarnation, the Atonement, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Second Coming of JesusChrist, Salvation by grace through faith alone, the authority of the Scriptures being infallible, etc.)Allbible-believers subscribe to this and:“
Some things are negotiable.These include things such as the form of baptism, the kind ofworship music, the form of church structure and organization, defining the relationshipbetween free will and predestination, and eschatology (beliefs about what will happen duringthe End Times).These are important issues. They can affect the quality of a person'sChristian life. But they do not determine whether or not a person is a Christian. These areareas in which Christians can agree to disagree. Differences among genuine Protestantsoccur in the second area, the negotiable items. They could be compared to flavors of icecream. There are many kinds of ice cream, but they are all ice cream. They aren't pie, or cake,or salad. In real life, people know when they are eating ice cream, and when they are eatingsomething else. Some Catholic apologists say that there are 30,000 different Protestantdenominations.This is not true. Dr. Eric Svendsen has made an in-depth study of this claim.There is no valid foundation for it. His book "On This Slippery Rock" has a chapter about it,which you can read on-line.Dr. Svendsen also has an on-line article about diversity inCatholic beliefs. [Note 2 gives addresses.]… Let's compare this to something in everyday life.There is a huge difference between cats and dogs and horses. Now if you narrow it down todogs, there are many different varieties. And within each variety, there are subgroups.Forexample, there are different kinds of collies and different kinds of poodles. Catholicapologists act as if differences in Protestant churches are like the huge differences betweencats and horses and birds and dogs. In reality, they are like the differences between differentkinds of dogs (variations in the same kind of thing.) Often, they are like the differencesbetween different kinds of poodles or different kinds of collies (small variations in thingswhich are essentially the same
)…”(Fromwww.jesus-is-lord.com/spiritof.htm#ch11“The Spirit of Roman Catholicism What Lies Behind the Modern Public Image?” by Mary Collins in 2002)It’s time to further explain Dr. Svendsen’s “On This Slippery Rock” which refutes the 30,000Protestant denominations claim more elaborately. Svendsen’s work has found according to Barret’sresearch that there are 8,196 denominations of Protestants and 223 denominations of Catholics(which Barret broke down into 2,942 Catholic separate denominations in just 1970with 3,294Protestant denominations in the same year). Barrett also unified many names of the sameProtestant group into denominations even if there are no theological differences between them.Not to mention that there are only about less than 2 dozen main Protestant groups not 30,000.Catholicism itself are in numerous divisions like Catholic feminists, (nuns, priests, and historians whoopenly defy the Pope, Liberation theology Catholics, Catholic Pentecostals, Christo-Pagans [LatinAmerican Catholic influenced by folk Catholicism with Amerindian paganism], and EvangelicalCatholics. I forgot about the Spiritist Catholics, moderates, conservatives, traditionalists,Sedevacantists, and cafeteria Catholics. No Catholic apologist mentions this at all. What is the
 
 
reason why Catholicism isn’t Christian?Basically, Roman Catholicism acquires a false base of authority which are the Pope and its tradition.Also, it teaches the wrong way of salvation. It emphasis is misplaced in the 7 sacraments to besaved instead of Christ’s blood alone. Its acceptance of Christ’s divinity is accurate, but it believesthat an object transforms into God plus Christ’s death wasn’t enough for atonement. It also givesunnecessary adulation to Mary plus adds false dogma as integral of its creed like: the infallibility ofthe Pope in 1870, Scapular in 1521, purgatory proclaimed as a tenet in 1439, etc. You can copy thisexpose to assist Catholics to leave that church and believe on real concepts.Catholicism (like Masonry) is one of the easiest religions to refute, but its supporters are one of thetoughest to get through. I guess since they’ve been so conditioned (almost in a cultic way) infollowing those systems. They are involved in the Inquisition, murder of Jews and real Christians,supporting the One World Religion, the international slave trade, pedophile priests, false doctrines,and even never excommunicated Adolf Hitler. This doesn’t mean we promote hatred of RomanCatholics. We love all humans regardless of their gender, creed, race, etc. What we do is show theGospel to Roman Catholics with love and clear, yet firm examples.The Priesthood*
I have over 200 verses to refute Catholicism, but this is a simple summary to simply refutedtheir primary doctrines. Roman Catholicism institutes a select priesthood, but priests asclergy has no basis from scripture today. Only in the Old Law were priests instrumental inreligious services as performing sacrifices, etc. Now in the New Testament, The Lord JesusChrist is the only High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, his new title. Behold this 2verses to prove that: “Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an highpriest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.” (Hebrews 6:20)
and: “But Christ being come anhigh priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands,that is to say, not of this building.” (Hebrews 9:11). Christ Jesus is the only mediator between Godthe Father and man (1 Timothy 2:5). Yet, priests in Catholicism have claimed a special status as amediator to “forgive” sins. On the other hand, Mark 2:7 is rather clear that: “…who can forgive sinsbut God only?“ (Mark 2:7). The priesthood today is extended unto all believers (1 Peter 2:5-9,Revelation 1:6). Early church writes such as Chrysostom (350 AD), and Basil (350 AD) wrotestrongly about confessing sins to God only.
The Levitical priesthood had the old law of using the blood of animals, but now they cannever atone sin, but through the precious blood of Christ alone. Catholic priests are celibate,but mandatory celibacy enforced by anyone is forbidden and a doctrine of devils. (1 Timothy4:1-3).
Elders, bishops, pastors are many titles of select clergy not priest plus even a bishop shouldhave one wife in marriage. (1 Timothy 3:2-6). The Scriptures in Hebrews 13:4 says that: “…Marriageis honorable in all..“
The Bible never forbids people to be celibate voluntarily (like eunuchs ofcourse). Yet, the Scriptures does forbids forcing people to be celibate for the sake of areligious tenet
. Romanism forcing priests, bishops, and other clergy to be celibate whether theywant to or not. These restrictions (among other reasons) contributed to the epidemic of RomanCatholic priests abusing young children and other people. This child abuse isn’t limited to the RomanCatholic Church though.
Again, 1 Timothy 4:1-3 outlines that: “…
Now the Spiritspeaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies inhypocrisy; having their conscience seared with hot iron; forbidding to marry,and commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be receivedwith thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth

I'm a man, so I won't turn into some hate monger. I will dissent, but I won't use stereotypes or promote bigotry at all.

I know about the Vatican's evil spanning eons. I have written about this in my article here and other places. Let God handle the Vatican. What we should do is peacefully wake people up about the Vatican, so they can voluntarily leave that wicked religious system. The Vatican isn't the capital of Hell. Also, philosophies other than religion have caused the lives of millions. Atheism of Mao and Stalin murdered more people than any other creed in the 20th century. So, you need to realize that. Many religious people are great leaders and made great contributions in the world. I dissent with Romanism, but I don't hate people who are Roman Catholic. Bigotry against people because of their creed is a sin just like racism is a sin.

VATICAN IS THE CAPITAL OF HELL MAY VATICAN SINK DEEPLY INTO A SEA OF MOLTEN MAGMA!!! In World War III the Vatican will be incinerated, on a par with the cities of Europe, Russia, and America. Its ruins, then, more than famed ruins, will symbolize mankind's determination to make short work of all totalitarianisms. Prominent among these : certain most iniquitous ecclesiastical tyrannies which, in the name of religion, contributed so much to the destruction of contemporary Man. And, verily, the punishment meted to the Catholic Church will be singularly heavy, not only in Rome, but throughout the charred wasteland of an atomized world.

Christianity isn't a fraud. Christians consists of great leaders, inventors, teachers, etc. for a very long time. I don't agree with the Vatican, but I hope people leave the Vatican in a peaceful fashion. Folks are already waking up about what the Vatican is.
