I fully agree with the writer. The Pope should read the Bible which states "In the last days shall arise false prophets, forbidding to marry,etc.. It was a Roman Emporer who started the Roman Catholic church and the Apostolic succession has been maitained by true believers since then. The Church of God is a spiritual entity and a relationship not an organisation full of superstition and false teaching. This only results in things like the Homosexuality of priests and Monks.
Any sect that fails to acknowledge that their is only one mediator between God and Man "The man Christ Jesus" is a false one. Islam is one such cult and an exceedingly dangerous one. It started about 700AD at a low time in Christianity.

Well, I am not surprised. My sister and I have been telling people for a long time that the Catholic Church is not part of the true church. We came out of it over 40 years ago having from Jesus as our saviour. I am afraid those who are christians today are being deceived by it and are trying to do some of the things that were done in the Catholic Church, rosary beads, praying to the saints etc. Those who have come out of it know. It is just another cult (although much bigger than others) that is deceiving the world. Wake up. Paul said if they preach another gospel let them be anathema! Give the Catholic people the true gospel like we heard.

"When one faith as powerful and global as Catholicism says they are the only faith that is legit, I cannot help but wonder if we are heading pell-mell to the gates of the "one world religion" outlined in Revelation."
Dear Jan,
You can stop wondering. No "end time" scenario here.
A religion claiming itself to be exclusive is as old as time. RJ Rushdoony wisely stated that "all religions segregate" and "every religion asserts an order of truth, and every other order is regarded as a lie."
The book of Revelation was fulfilled with the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and the only true religion, Christianity, has been advancing since that time and will eventually fill the whole earth.
The question is, how many Christians will our Lord be able to use as his instruments if they keep reading nonsense like the "Left Behind" series?

This is not a new statement. Ratzinger only restates what the RCC has preached for centuries. The Roman Catholic Church believes that "There is no salvation outside of 'The Church.'" This belief goes back at least to the day Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Cathedral, if not the Great Schism of 1054 or even farther back.

I agree with the vast majority of this article. I too, wondered if this turn-about by the Catholic Church was one step closer to the One World Religion signaling Christ's return is ever nearer. I never could explain how the Catholic Church explains, or overlooks, the graft and corruption that is their history and still feel that they are the only way of faith to salvation!
Though a little off topic, the paragraph on the Hindu opening Congress with prayer was informative and upsetting. The author is correct that this is possibly a huge error in causing the further removal of God's hand of protection on this ONCE great nation.

I am no more concerned at what the head of the Roman church says about salvation than the heads of the Jehovah's Witnesses or the Mormon church, or Tom Cruise for that matter. The church of Rome may be the oldest and largest of the cults, but, it has long been outside the definition of what constitutes Biblical Christianity.

I know many folks won't agree with me on this, but I believe I have scripture on my side, and I have ask the Yeshua to speak through me concerning this matter, else I won't make this statement: It isn't the non-Catholics that are the pretend Christians, but rather the Catholic Church itself. "you will know them by their Fruit.", it is written. Well look at the Catholic Church and the Fruit it has produced: A large percentage of the priest are homosexuals; you had the Spanish Inquisition; a system that replaces Yeshua Hammashiach as the high priest with a mortal man; gives Yeshua's mother, Mary, equal deitiship with Yeshua Hammashiach, Himself; inisits that it's members refer to the pope as the "Holy Father"; and openly practice idolatry; and have re-constructed the veil that was ripped in half, when Yeshua was crucified; knowingly allows perverted men to serve as priest/teachers... just to name a few things. I am not here to say that the Lutherans, Protestants or many of the other non-Catholic denominations claiming to be Christian, are right either or are all perfect Christians, as many of them will find themselves facing the "White Throne Judgement", much to their surprise. However, one thing is for sure... The Catholic Church isn't Christian and doesn't conduct itself or teach the Word as found in the Holy Bible. It takes more than talking about the Christ and hanging some crucifixes around a meeting hall to be true "Christians". Remember Yeshua warns us, that in the end, many will come to Him saying, "Lord, Lord! And He will say depart from Me, for you never knew Me!" I'd be remiss in making a blanket statement, that all Catholics are doomed, but if they think a "Hail Mary" is going to get them any traction with the Father, they are wasting their time, just as they are blaspheming against the Adonia Avinu when they pray to and worship the saints, Mary or the pope!
Sorry my Catholic friends, but only by the strength of He who lives with in me, do I say and write these things. I am confident in my salvation, and my relationship with Adonia Avinu, Yeshua Hammashiach, and Ruach Hakkodesh, as well as I have the scriptures to back me up, how about you?
I am also Sorry if this seems prideful, as it isn't to be. But until you Catholics take the blinders off and actually study and read the Holy Bible for yourselves, and not the "Watchtower-ish" Catholic Bible, but the Holy Bible, you are doomed to continue your walk in darkness.

I think one could call this a "holy war" of words. Where to start.......
I think the good thing is that God is blessing everyone contributing to this site as He agrees with and disagrees with them all. Hmmm, that may be a tough concept.
On to those bad ole Catholics and their adoration of Mary. Did you note the word adoration and not worship? Did not God use Mary to give birth to His Son? Maybe some appreciation is in order here. God picked her for a reason.
The Catholic bible and most other Christian bibles are the same except the Catholic bible includes the apocrypha which many consider dubious. The Mass is filled with the same scripture everyone else uses.
As for bad clergy, the protestant churches have plenty of them as well. We must understand that these are men who are fallible and are sinners just like the rest of us. I remember when a well know TV preacher was defrocked because of his association with a prostitute many years ago. I used to listen to him and the fact that he had an adulterous liason didn't mean the message he preached was wrong......he was wrong. Just because some Catholic priests are homosexual doesn't mean the church's message is in error. The priest's involved are in error.
Jesus has a really simple message of Love. As long as this message gets through to us, we're on our way to a great understanding.

I dare David Barton to say that next year after they outsource his job as completely unreliable historian to India! How about "arabic" numerals, Davey? How about the concept of "zero"? Both from India. Man, his ignorance could fill the internet.

So, nobody else would have figured out how to count accordingly without India creating the method of numbers that we use, today? Or no one would have defined "nothing" as "zero?" Did India initiate Zilch, Nada, Zip...? Oh wait, they did dream up over 300 million gods/goddesses (last I heard, it was approximately 332 million); holy cows, rats, and roaches; dumping corpses in the Ganges River (to pollute the water, and in an effort to control the disease-problem, they put in carnivorous turtles, to which the Indians catch and eat...); and Nirvana, which is the state of nothingness, completely desirable and achieved when one has been so good as to deserve being completely wiped out of existence. Talk about demonic influences... By the way, for reincarnation to exist, who keeps up with everyone's thoughts, deeds, and motivations to determine if they are good or evil? Who keeps up with everyone everywhere all of the time? Who has the power to enforce that final decision of what they come back as? Who decides what is good or evil in the first place? How can they think up to a point and then drop the entire matter without answering these questions?
