Catholicism Refuted

Catholicism differs from Christianity in fundamental ways Catholics teach that we're regenerated by baptism at infancy. The Bible says that children have not yet reached an age where they are accountable to know right from wrong and we are regenerated through repentance and faith not by baptism Catholics teach that we're saved by works. That you just be a good person, do good deeds and you're saved they say in this modern day you don't even have to have faith in Christ. This is typical of all religions. The Bible says we're saved by grace through faith not by works. If we're saved faith will produce works of righteousness according to James 2. Ephesians 2:8-9 The Catholic Church teaches that the papacy, Church, and tradition is on equal authority as scripture. Scripture is the word of God and it is the ultimate authority and is sufficient 2 Timothy 3:16-17 There is no papacy in the Bible. Peter was not a Pope. He made mistakes and was Rebuked. Even called Sat

Having a spiritually successful life should be are key goals for this new year. To begin victory we need to start by being born again through repentance and faith in Christ by putting away the old man the flesh and putting on the new man the Spirit and the Bible says we need to walk in the Spirit. Those that are led in the Spirit are the children of God. Whether you're going to quit smoking or any bad habit or sin you're trying to get rid of the key is by repentance not just a change or a worldly sorrow. Repentance means turning from sin in godly sorrow. The Bible says God makes all things new. If we're in Christ we're a new creature. Old things are passed away. Everything becomes new.  "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful." -Revelation 21:5 2 Corinthians 5:17 King James Version 17  Having a spiritually successful life should be are key goals for this

It lasted from about 160 to 167 B.C. it was led by Judas Maccabees and his family.  Antiochus IV Epiphanes began to persecute Judaism in 168 B.C. He had control over Jerusalem and banned Jewish practices. He also desecrated the the Jewish Temple with pagan Greco-Roman hellenized practices which triggered the War. The war resulted with Jewish Independence until it was conquered by Rome under Pompey in 63 B.C. which paved the way for Herod and the coming Messiah Jesus: The  Maccabean Revolt  ( Hebrew :  מרד החשמונאים ) was a Jewish rebellion led by the  Maccabees  against the  Seleucid Empire  and against  Hellenistic influence  on Jewish life.

The Nativity Story

In order to truly understand the Nativity we must understand the context and purpose of the Nativity and the reason there was a Nativity. Back from the beginning of Genesis mankind lost fellowship with God because of the fall of Adam and Eve. All man has sinned and is lost under the wrath of God on their way to hell. God is a just and holy God and He must punish sin but He is also a loving and merciful God and doesn't want anyone to go to hell so He made a way for us so that we could be saved. In the Old Testament God made a covenant with Israel and the Jewish people and promised that would day a King would be born apart of this covenant and would be a Descendant of King David and that He would be a Savior and a redeemer and would come to save mankind from their sins. He would be called Emmanuel, which means God with us and would be born in Israel. He is the Messiah, God in the flesh Jesus. In the New Testament these prophecies were fulfilled when the angel appears to the young

Israel Palestinian Conflict and The Bible

Israel went into harlotry against God all throughout scripture but it is the chosen nation of God: Jeremiah 3:8 “And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.” King James Version (KJV) The Old Testament prophesied of the Messiah Jesus and the New Covenant: Micah 5:2 - But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Isaiah 9:6 King James Version 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Jesus is the fulfillment of these prophecies Israel rejected the Messiah and is under J

The Protestant Church is Corrupt

The Protestant Church is not a Christian Church. It was founded by Martin Luther and John Calvin who both taught heresy. The Protestant Reformation began when Martin Luther nailed the 95 thesis on the doors of Wittenberg in 1517 to protest the Catholic Church. Martin Luther taught things that were true but also taught a lot of heresy including Antisemitism, denial of James, and wrote bandage of the will. John Calvin also taught heresy such as the five points of Tulip and denied God's salvation plan to mankind and taught only the elect can be saved. Henry the 8th founded the apostate Anglican Church and was a murderer and adulterer that founded his own Church. This movement gave birth to all the corrupt Denominations today. Corrupt Evangelical Denominations comes from protestantism. 

Reasons The Catholic Church Is Not Christian

Reasons Why The Catholic Church Is Not Christian The Bible says we will know them by their fruits. A good tree does not produce corrupt fruits. If there's corrupt fruits it's not of God. The Catholic Church for centuries have murdered and killed thousands of people for reading the Bible and rejecting Catholic teachings. They burned people alive to the stake. They were murderers. There were the crusades, the inquisition, etc. The Catholic Church was a political powerhouse and was in fellowship with the state but Jesus said His Kingdom is not of this world: " Despite Tancred’s promise of protection, the Crusaders slaughtered hundreds of men, women and children in their victorious entrance into Jerusalem." "The Inquisition was a powerful office set up within the Catholic Church to root out and punish heresy throughout Europe and the Americas. Beginning in the 12th century and continuing for hundreds of years, the Inquisition is infamous for the severity of its to
