Debunking Catholicism and Catechism with the Holy Bible (2 Timothy 3:16; 4:2), and plain common sense.
*NOTE* I challenge any Catholic to try to refute the truth of the word of God (that means you OCCatholic).
Catechism #2358: "The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. They do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition."
'Homosexuals do not choose their homosexual condition.'
I guess pedophiles, and rapists don't choose their 'condition' either? The Bible commands Christians to hate evil (Psalm 97:10), informs us that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9-10), tells us not to bid the evildoers Godspeed, nor receive them into our house, lest we are partakers in their evil deeds (2 John 1:9-11).
Catholics are violating Jude 1:4, since they support lewdness instead of the grace of God. There is no such thing as a Christian homosexual ("if they are Christians"). 1 Corinthians 6:11 says, "and such were some of you", not "such are some of you" (see 1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Jesus told us that wide is the gate which leads unto destruction, and he tells us that only few will find life in heaven (Matthew 7:13-14).
Catholics are bound to believe and trust all that the Catholic Church teaches:
You know what? All I'm going to do is post this link. Catholics use 1 Timothy 3:15 as their defense that the R.C.C. is the one and true church, but Catholics pervert the Scriptures like you wouldn't believe. Wake up people!
Mary was a sinner who did not remain a virgin because Jesus had half-brothers:
Mary was a sinner and the Scriptures prove it (Psalm 51:5, Luke 1:30; 1:46-47; 2:21-24, Romans 3:10; 3:23; 5:12; 6:23, Hebrews 9:27, James 2:10). Jesus had brethren (Matthew 12:47, Mark 3:32, Luke 8:20, John 2:12, Acts 1:14, Galatians 1:19).
Once again, I dare any Roman Catholic to try to refute these truths.
Catholics try to work their way to heaven:
No Catholic goes to heaven. Salvation is a free gift (Romans 5:15-16; 5:18), and we are justified by our faith (Mark 1:15, John 8:24, Acts 20:21, Romans 3:28-30; 4:1-5; 5:1; 9:30; 10:4; 11:6, Galatians 2:16; 2:21; 3:5-6; 3:24, Ephesians 2:8-9, Philippians 3:9). A real Christian will have faith, and produce good works (James 2:14-26). Demons believe that Jesus is the one and true God; they tremble in His presence (Matthew 8:28-29, James 2:19), but they have no works! Quit perverting the word of the LORD heretics!
You cannot bribe your way into heaven because our good deeds are like filthy rags unto the LORD Jehovah (Isaiah 64:6). It is only through our faith in Him, that we are saved (Romans 10:9); without Jesus Christ, we would all be damned! The law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour (John 1:14; 1:17, Colossians 1:6, 2 John 1:3).
Mary is not the 'Mother of God':
That's right heretics; she is not the 'Mother of God', but the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ. Get it right; two different things (read Luke 1 for details).
Catechism #2683: In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, speaking in the context of the saints it says, "We can and should ask them to intercede for us and for the whole world" (p. 645). Catholic Answers writes, "Our prayer to the saints in heaven, asking for their prayers for us, and their intermission with the Father do not undermine Christ's role as sole Mediator" (1 Timothy 2:5). (Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth, p. 21)
Roman Catholics are so good at twisting the truth. The sad part is that some of them are sincere! In reality though, they are speaking lies in hypocrisy (1 Timothy 4:2). When you pray to the saints, it does undermine 'Jesus Christ our Lord as the only Mediator' (1 Timothy 2:5).
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you want no other (Ephesians 1:3, Colossians 2:8-10, 2 Peter 1:3). Now I am not saying that you cannot pray for one another (1 Timothy 2:1); what I am saying is that for those that come to God through Him, He can save them, and make intercession for them (Hebrews 7:25, Romans 8:34).
Catholics are not born again Christians:
Being born again is exactly that, born again! You are born once in the flesh, and God commands you to be born again in the Spirit (John 3:3-7). No Catholic is born again because they are trying to use works and faith to get into heaven. It is only by faith alone that you are saved; you cannot justify yourself before God Almighty because everyone has fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Jesus was submerged in water when he was baptized, but what about Catholics? Listen guys, I was born and raised in a Catholic family, and I'll be the first to tell you that you'll never see this!
The Rosary is blasphemy:
Doing the rosary is blasphemy; read all about it here, and here.
Catholics preach a false gospel, and are accursed:
Catholics are heretics, accursed, reprobates, liars, and wicked (Proverbs 17:15, Romans 1:28-32, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Titus 1:16; 3:10-11, Galatians 1:8-9, 2 Timothy 3:8, 1 John 2:4).
Catechism #1129: In the Catechism of the Catholic Church on page 292, the following is written:
The Church affirms that for all believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation.
There are seven sacraments in the Church: Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony (CCC, p. 289, #1113; see also p. 311, #1210).
"This is the tradition of men (Matthew 15:8-9, Colossians 2:8-10), and not the doctrine of Christ (2 John 1:9). Scripture nowhere teaches that any of these sacraments are necessary for salvation. What is necessary for salvation is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (the Word, John 1:1, Revelation 19:13). As John 3:36 says, He who believeth in the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him" (take a look here).
Biblical baptism saves us (1 Peter 3:21), and to clarify, Jesus is the living water (Jeremiah 17:13, John 4:10, 14; 7:38, Revelation 7:17).
To be continued...
A Christian blog entirely devoted to hatred? Not cool.
ReplyDeleteWell, I was going to continue to read this post, until I read the title "Mary is not the Mother of God". That implies that Jesus is not God. If you say that Jesus is God, but Mary is the mother of Jesus, but not God, how does that work? Jesus was God, but not God at the same time? Does that really make any sense? I also love how you didn't add any evidence after it either. But that is not the point. The point is, you say you are "Christian", while claiming that Jesus and God are not the same. Of course, you could claim that Mary was the mother of the human part of Christ, but not the God part. But that makes no sense either in light of Christian doctrine on Christ's nature. Christ was 100% God and 100% man. Not 50-50, not 60-40, but 100-100. It is considered a mystery. So, if you claim that Catholics are going to hell, you'll see them there for the blasphemy you are pushing by claiming that Christ is not God.
ReplyDeleteAlso, almost all of the Bible quotes you have sited are not related to the subjects in any way.. Most are just general well-known sayings from scripture that you have somehow tried to apply to your "proofs". In fact, the examples you have used aren't even complete thoughts within scripture themselves. You have to give the verses in context, which you have done in 0% of your proofs in this article. An example is your title "catholics preach a false gospel, and are accursed", I could write the title "protestants preach a false gospel, and are accursed", and then copy/paste the exact verses you just used as proof. Nowhere in these scripture verses (nor in any other) can you find any actual hard evidence that Catholicism is a false gospel. You have only succeeded in showing that there are such things as false gospels. Also, your comment "No Catholic goes to heaven" is out of place, and not backed up by any of the "proof" that you put after it... Those verses do not prove that claim at all. It is just kind of randomly thrown in there. It seems like you are hoping that fools come onto this blog, read your misguided sentences and see the many Bible verses you quote and not read them and just take your word for it. I don't know how to say this next part without offending you, though I do not mean to, but: Do yourself a favor (and seriously, for your own good) go get educated on this and actually think. Also, stop relying on sites that use Chick Tracts as proof for anything. Jack Chick is just a man who hates Catholics and makes up false doctrines that he claims they teach just to make people hate Catholics. It is propaganda, not facts.
ReplyDeleteWhy so much hate? ALL Christians are supposed to love everyone, especially those that they don't like.
ReplyDeleteI went to Catholic school for 8 years, therefore learning all of the ins and outs of Catholicism. In telling you that your statements about the Catholic Church are false and uneducated, I'm not trying to bash or be unkind to you.
I'd highly suggest stopping by your local Catholic Church and talk to someone who works there. They'll probably be able to point you to a few resources on the basis of the teachings of the Catholic Chuch. Even better, attend a Sunday Mass and chat with priest afterwards. Sit in on an adult catechism class, or even a children's one for a more basic idea. Challenge each teacher and priest to your questions, and you'll have the true answers.
Hopefully you'll be enlightened on the true beliefs and teachings of the Catholic Chuch. Don't worry, it's completely okay if you still disagree with what the Church has to offer. However, in order to pit a fair argument against our beliefs, you must know what they are first.
I hope that you will follow my suggestions and educate yourself, for the betterment of the knowledge of you and your blog. And remember: kindness is key.

ReplyDeleteFor there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group they must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach-and that for the sake of dishonest gain. Even one of their own prophets has said, "Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons." This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of those who reject the truth. To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to knowGod, but their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
