The Catholic Confession EXPOSED!

Jeremiah 17:5 (KJV)

 5Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

There is not a more demonic or unbiblical practice than the Catholic confessional. The idea that a sinful man can forgive someone's sins is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. 1 Timothy 2:5 couldn't be clearer ...

1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV)

 5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Jesus NEVER gave His Apostles the power to forgive people's sins. According to Catholic.org ...

"The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation is a Sacrament in which we are sorry for our sins, confess them to a priest, receive forgiveness for them and are reconciled with God and the Church." 

What a bunch of lies! No priest can forgive anyone's sins. He can't even forgive his own sins! Come to think of it, who does forgive the priests sins? Does he go to confession too? If the priest goes directly to God, then why can't you? Even the corrupt religious leaders of Jesus' time knew that only God can forgive sin.

Mark 2:7 (KJV)

 7Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

Sacraments are Unbiblical!

The word “Sacrament” is NOT even found in the Word of God, nor is it found in the Douay version (the Catholic Bible). The definition of “Sacrament” is: "A formal religious act conferring a specific grace on those who receive it.” The teaching is that there is a “power” to the Sacraments. This false teaching is NOT taught in the Bible. The Seven Sacraments of the Catholic religion were first affirmed in 1439 A.D. There is NO power conferred through being water baptized, going to confession, partaking of Holy Communion, et cetera. The Lord only instituted the ordinances of water baptism and the Lord's Supper; BUT, they do not bestow any grace, or any effect, upon the believer. When you get baptized, you are getting wet. Too many religions today have baptism on the brain, and have perverted the simple Gospel of Jesus Christ by sinfully requiring baptism for salvation. You do NOT have to be water baptized to go to Heaven.

Also, the Catholics worship the Eucharist more than Christ Himself. The Bible could be clearer in Luke 22:19,

Luke 22:19 (KJV)

 19And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do IN REMEMBERANCE OF ME.

The Lord's Supper (Eucharist) was simply something which Jesus wanted believers to do to REMEMBER Him ... no more. The Catholic religion has perverted the Lord's Supper into a monstrosity with three heads, tens eyes, and sharp venomous fangs. It's called “transubstantiation.” Some even call the Catholic practice of Mass, cannibalism, since Catholics believe they are literally digesting Jesus' flesh and blood. The belief is that the flesh and blood of Christ digest into the human body; thus, giving it's recipient spiritual strength and renewal. The logical conclusion then must be that one passes Jesus out in their feces as well. What blasphemy!!!

How ridiculous and absurd! There is NO such teaching in the Bible. Jesus simply told us to remember Him. How in the world did some nut come up with the idea that we are literally eating our Savior? Some may submit that Jesus claimed to be the “Bread of Life” in John 6:35;

John 6:35 (KJV)

 35And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

BUT, Jesus also claimed to be the “Door” in John 10:9.

John 10:9 (KJV)

 9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Was Jesus a literal door? A literal loaf of bread? It is obvious in John 4:10 that Jesus wasn't offering the Samaritan woman actual water, but living water, the Holy Spirit.

John 4:10 (KJV)

 10Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

The Catholic religion has no right to pervert the plain teachings of the Word of God; but they do horrible and sinfully. Our spiritual life is nourished by the Word of God.

1 Peter 2:2 (KJV)

 2As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

It is the Holy Spirit of God that empowers and strengthens believers.

Ephesians 3:16 (KJV)

 16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

The crazy idea that the Catholic mass has some special power to it is absurd, and unbiblical. The catholic religion is dangerous, teaching people false religion, leading one billion souls into the lake of Fire. The Bible repeatedly condemns self-righteousness.

Romans 10:3-4 (KJV)

 3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

 4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Mark 7:6-13 (KJV)

 6He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

 7Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

 8For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

 9And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

 10For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

 11But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

 12And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

 13Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Titus 3:5 (KJV)

 5Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)

 8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 4:5-6 (KJV)

 5But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

 6Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

Romans 3:19-20 (KJV)

 19Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

 20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV)

 21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

John 6:40 (KJV)

 40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Study all of these Scriptures in the King James Bible and you will find that I am telling you the Gospel truth. The Pope is a liar, who claimed in 2005 that a person doesn't even need Biblical faith to enter into Heaven. The entire concept of Catholic salvation is corrupt, very similar to the hellish teaching of Lordship Salvation being propagated in unsuspecting, carnal, ecumenical and apostate churches today!!! It is evil and a road to Hell.

It is Blasphemy for Priests to Claim the Power to Forgive Sin

According to Catholic.org ...

“23 If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone's sins, they are retained..’ (John 20:23)” —SOURCE

 Please notice this subtle deception of Satan. The above quote made by a Catholic religious teacher didn't FULLY quote John 20:23 which states

John 20:23 (KJV)

 23Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

If what the Catholic Church teaches is true (i.e., that priests have been given the power to forgive sins), then it must also be true that they have been given the power to REFUSE to forgive your sins. If this is true, then it creates a serious doctrinal contradiction in the teachings of Christ, who said in Matthew 6:15,

Matthew 6:15 (KJV)

 15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 

Clearly, we have a discrepancy here. If priests did have the power to forgive your sins, but refused to do so, then it would be a sin. So what did Jesus mean in John 20:23? To understand John 20:23, you need to consider Romans 1:16,

Romans 1:16 (KJV)

 16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

The Gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ is the POWER which opens the gates of Heaven to those who obey it; BUT, it is also the POWER which will send them to Hell forever if they do not obey it.

2 Thessalonians 1:8 (KJV)

 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Jesus simply explained to the Apostles that by preaching the GOSPEL, they held the keys to Heaven and Hell. Those who believed the Gospel were forgiven; those who didn't weren't. The Gospel is the key to Heaven or Hell, depending on whether you obey it or not.

To claim that Jesus gave the Apostles the power to forgive sin is blasphemy. We've already learned that there is only ONE MEDIATOR between God the Father and men, the man Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 2:5(KJV)

 5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

We've also read in Mathew 6:15 that God requires us to forgive others who seek our forgiveness, it's not an option.

Matthew 6:15 (KJV)

 15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

In addition, not one mention is made anywhere in the New Testament of an Apostle ever forgiving someone's sins. This FACT alone speaks volumes against the Catholic religion. Out of all the sermons recorded in the New Testament by the Apostles, not one mention is ever made of an Apostle having the power to forgive someone's sins. When Stephen preached the Gospel in Acts 7, he never offered to forgive anyone's sins. When Peter preached the Gospel on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2, he never offered to forgive anyone's sins. When Paul witnessed to King Agrippa in Acts 26, he didn't offer to forgive the king's sins.

Notice what Peter said to Simon, the former sorcerer, when Simon tried to buy God's power ... “Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.” The Apostle Peter told Simon to pray to GOD for forgiveness! Peter didn't claim the power to forgive Simon's sins, nor did Peter tell him to go find a confessional booth. In all the letters (Epistles) which the Apostle Paul wrote to the New Testament churches, he never mentioned or taught anything about the power to forgive another's sins. Clearly, the Catholic Church is lying!

To whom should we confess our sins? 1 John 1:9 states,

1 John 1:9 (KJV)

 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

A sinner cannot forgive a sinner on behalf of God. You need Jesus Christ, God Almighty, to forgive your sins and save your soul. Only Jesus has the nail-scared hands and feet; thus, only Jesus has the power and right to forgive your sins. We read in Luke 18:13 that a Publican (a non-religious person) went up to the temple to pray and said, “...God be merciful to me a sinner.”

Luke 18:13 (KJV)

 13And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

Carefully notice that the man didn't ask the Pharisee to forgive him, nor did he go to the priest for forgiveness. No, the publican went to GOD ALONE!

Cursed Be the Man that Trusteth in Man

We read in Jeremiah 17:5,

Jeremiah 17:5 (KJV)

 5Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

I marvel at the willingness of the victims of false religion, to follow the traditions of men, instead of the teachings of the Word of God.

Mark 7:6-13 (KJV)

 6He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

 7Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

 8For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

 9And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

 10For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

 11But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

 12And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

 13Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

The problem is that people continue to believe the excuses and lies of their sinister ministers. If a soulwinning Christian tries to share the Word of God with a lost Catholic, that Catholic often counters with something their priest taught them. The priest's advice might be total heresy; BUT, the victim will believe it, simply because the priest said it.  The reason is because most people are trusting in MAN instead of GOD. Psalm 118:8 states,

Psalm 118:8 (KJV)

 8It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

As an example, some Catholics try to justify vain repetitious prayers with Scriptures such as Matthew 26:44,

Matthew 26:44 (KJV)

 44And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

But, asking God three times for the same thing, is very different than mumbling the same dead words (the Rosary) over and over for a lifetime. Furthermore, this was not the norm when Jesus prayed. There are times in our life where we will want to keep asking God for something; but, that is certainly not the same as mumbling the same WRITTEN, dead, repetitious, religious, words over and over. A Catholic repeats 52 “Hail Mary” in each DAILY Rosary prayer.

Jesus clearly stated that the “heathen” pray with useless repetitions. Since Catholics claim that their repetitious Rosary prayers are not “vain repetitions”; then I ask, who was Jesus speaking about? Do you realize that a faithful Catholic who prayers the Rosary every day, will in a lifetime say “Hail Mary” well over 1,000,000 times!!! Think about it. And yet, not one mention is made of the name of Jesus Christ in the Rosary.

Like it or not, the Word of God condemns formalized religion. It is abundantly clear that the nuns who are chanting the Rosary are praying with VAIN REPETITIONS. This is just one example of a manmade tradition, not taught anywhere in the Bible. The Rosary was invented in 1090 A.D. If you trust in man, you WILL be greatly disappointed at The Great White Throne of Judgment one day. If you trust upon Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, Jesus will not fail you.

Romans 10:11 (KJV)

 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

I plead with you as a loving friend, forsake the Great Whore of Catholicism, and turn to Jesus Christ alone! Follow the Word of God; not the religion of men, who make a living off of victims like you.

The Hoax of Our Lady of Fatima

The Hoax of Our Lady of Fatima

Idolaters Beware... God is a Jealous God!

What is the message of Fatima?

 Woe unto Catholics! Our Lady of Fatima is a dirty Satanic hoax perpetrated by the Catholic religion. It is of the Devil and blatant idolatry. Roman Catholics claim that a supernatural event occurred in 1917 in which the “Blessed Virgin Mary” appeared repeatedly to 3 children in Fatima, Portugal.

Supposedly, the Virgin Mary gave a message to the 3 children. The Message of Fatima consists of an alleged number of precise predictions, requests, warnings and promises concerning the Catholic faith and the world, which were conveyed by the Blessed Virgin Mary to 3 shepherd children—Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco—in a series of ghostly apparitions at Fatima, Portugal from May to October 1917. An “apparition” means “the unexpected or unusual appearance of a ghostly figure.” It's a scam, a falsehood, a lie of the Devil, unscriptural in every way.

Many Catholic cultures pass a statue of Our lady of Fatima around from house-to-house throughout the year. It's considered a good-luck charm while in their home. The heathen statue is adorned in the center of their living room, given undivided attention by the family, and it is worshipped, which is the horrible sin of idolatry. Exodus 20:5 says that those who bow and pray to statues HATE God.

Exodus 20:4-5, “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of THEM THAT HATE ME.” I make no apologies to rain on your parade when I speak the TRUTH... God hates the Catholic Church! God loves people, but God hates IDOLATRY.

Often, a photo of Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco is passed around amongst the idolatrous group, as they feast on food and praise the graven image. They talk about the alleged miracle of Our lady of Fatima. Then the photo is placed next to the statue, adorned so beautifully as the centerpiece of their living room. The graven image is alleged to bring a special blessing upon the home. One Catholic man told me that he waited for 8-years, only after persistent request, to finally have the statue of Our Lady of Fatima brought to his home for one week. The man's family fried fish and praised the demonic image, praying to the image, and committing idolatry instead of worshipping God in spirit and in truth as John 4:24 commands.

John 4:24 (KJV)

 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Our lady of Fatima is a rotten hoax, a sinister TRADITION of men passed down from generation to generation. The hoax of Fatima allegedly happened in 1917, later turned into official Catholic dogma by the Vatican, provoking the wrath of God.

If you have a statue in your home of Our Lady of Fatima, or Our lady of Guadalupe, or The Image of Divine Mercy (allegedly seen by sister Faustina), then you are committing the wicked sin of IDOLATRY, spitting on the God of Israel. Catholics are arrogant, sinfully proud, and Jesus said about them:

Mark 7:9 (KJV)

 9And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Catholics have been deceitfully taught by the demonic Vatican that statues are no different than a picture of one's family and loved ones. Catholics are taught that adoration of statues is similar to looking at a photo of one's family and feeling love and admiration. However, this is a fraudulent teaching by the Vatican, because no one worships God by bowing and praying to a photo of their spouse and children. Catholics chant recited Rosaries and pre-written so-called “prayers.” It is 100% manmade tradition and idolatry. I asked a Catholic man why he recites memorized chants, instead of praying from the heart. He said it was the way he was brought up as a child. That is unacceptable to God. The Bible condemns placing family traditions above the Word of God (Mark 7:13). Catholics HATE GOD according to Exodus 20:5.

Oh what wickedness in the sight of God!

The statue of Our Lady of Fatima is idolized while in the possession of that family, guests are invited, a fish fry is cooked, prayers are made to the statue of Our lady of Fatima, the Rosary is chanted... AND GOD IS ANGRY!!! 

Exodus 20:4-5 (KJV)

 4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

 5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Hebrews 10:31 (KJV)

 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

The Rosary is Blasphemy!

Jeremiah 10:2 (KJV)

 2Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

Why Catholics Say We should Believe the Message of Fatima

The following claims were obtained from www.fatima.org:

1.  Supposedly, the events of Fatima were confirmed by an unprecedented public miracle, the Miracle of the Sun, which occurred at precisely the moment Lucia said it would. More than 70,000 people, including Masons, communists and atheists, reportedly saw the sun, seemingly contrary to all cosmic laws, twirl in the sky, throw off colors and descend to earth. The event was reported in newspapers around the world, including the New York Times.

However, the miraculous events which the onlookers reportedly saw were not contrary to nature at all.  As a matter of fact, they were VERY NORMAL astronomical events.  Please read the following simple explanation for the "miracle" of Fatima from the National UFO Center...

MASSIVE CORONAL MASS EJECTION FROM SUN


A gigantic coronal mass ejection (CME) occurred on May 13, 2000. Probably the largest of the year was recorded by NASA. Every eleven years our sun goes through a period of solar storms and these storms have been with us for centuries of recorded history. Solar flares emit high-speed particles that cause the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. Radiation from the solar flares can give passengers in aircraft or UFOs a dose of radiation equivalent to a medical X-ray. Severe weather on Earth, volcanoes and earthquakes may be all tied to this activity on the sun. Satellites, communications, silicon circuitry, portable phones and alternating current outlets can all be effected. If your appliances start acting up it may be the result of these solar storms. Even severe headaches may be tied to the sun's activity. We are watching to see if the UFO activity is influenced by the sun's heavy solar activity and initial indications are that reports have slowed in recent weeks. 


Pope John Paul's visit to Fatima, Portugal was punctuated by eruptions on the sun, marking the 83rd anniversary of miracle of Fatima that occurred on May 13, 1917. Witnesses at Fatima claimed to have seen the sun dance in the sky." Some claim this was an early UFO sighting, others claim it may have been unusual solar activity. The Vatican revealed the Third Secret that the Virgin Mary the mother of Christ is said to have told three children when she appeared at Fatima. The first two secrets foretold the end or World War I and the start of World War II along with the rise and fall of Communism. The Third Secret foretold the shooting of Pope John Paul II several years ago.

Exodus 32:35 (KJV)

 35And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

2.  Another reason why Catholics claim that we should believe the Message of Fatima is because all of the Popes since the Fatima Miracle have recognized that the Message is authentic.  Several Popes have gone to Fatima in person, including Paul VI, John Paul I and John Paul II.  John Paul II said at Fatima in 1982 that "the Message of Fatima imposes an obligation on the Church."

Realistically, just because the Popes recognize the alleged Message of Our Lady of Fatima as "authentic" is certainly NO PROOF at all.  Just because the Pope says something doesn't make it so.  Catholics foolishly elevate their Popes to the idolatrous level of God's Vicar (representative) on earth.  There is NO such teaching found in the Bible.  God has no official representative upon the earth.  All believers are God's representatives.

2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV)

 20Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

3.  Another reason why Catholics claim that we should believe the Message of Fatima is because of other alleged miracles have been performed by God authenticating the Fatima Message as coming from Him, not only at the time of the Miracle of the Sun, October 13, 1917, but down the years to the present day, reported miracles of conversions and cures which science seemingly cannot explain by natural means.

However, the Bible clearly teaches that Satan can also perform miracles, signs, and wonders.

Revelation 13:14 (KJV)

 14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

We must be extremely careful about attributing anything to God simply because it is a miracle. Pharaoh's wicked magicians mimicked the Miracles which God performed at the hand of Moses. Satan is deceiving the world with his miracles, signs, wonders, and damnable heresies.

4.  Another reason why Catholics claim that we should believe the Message of Fatima is because the Message of Fatima supposedly accurately predicted world events, which proves that it is a true prophecy.

The TRUTH is that any idiot saw World Wars coming.  I predict that a future war is coming!  Wow!, I must be a prophet.  Why are the predictions so vague?

Also, the events that Our Lady of Fatima supposedly predicted could have easily been known in advance by Vatican insiders (friends of the richest and most powerful people). For anyone who understands the truth about history, they know that it was Wall Street bankers behind the diabolical Federal Reserve System, WW1, the Great Depression, WW2, etc. It was Wall Street that created Communism. It's A Conspiracy Too Monstrous To Conceive. IBM manufactured the devices used to stamp serial numbers on holocaust victims. Henry Ford was a person friend of Adolph Hitler. I. G. Farben (a German company) was a conglomerate of around 200 companies (many of which were U.S. companies) which manufactured the Zyklon B gas used to murder holocaust victims. The Vatican in Roman was involved in the brutal murdering of millions of innocent people in the holocaust. Did you know that the new Pope, Benedict XVI was a former Hitler Youth? It's true!

The prediction that Russia would rise to a world-power is NOT surprising in the least when one understands the deliberate creation of Communism.

The Message of the Blessed Virgin of Fatima is nothing more than a ridiculous and evil invention of the Roman catholic Church. There is NO PROOF of any cosmic miracle, other than than testimonies of people who THOUGHT they saw a miracle. What they saw in 1917 was an astronomical event which occurs repeatedly every 11 years. The Vatican used the event to dupe the ignorant masses who thought they had seen a "miracle" of nature. I'm sure that there have been people throughout history who were conned by some smart guy who predicted a solar eclipse, calling it a "miracle."  The Catholic Church thrives on the ignorance of the masses.  Most people don't have enough sense to question the "traditions" and "claims" of the Catholic Church, they just blindly believe the Vatican because they package everything in appealing wrappers. The Catholic religion is all about "eye candy." They offer a structured, non-spirit based system, from the cradle to the casket, step-by-step religion. Just add participation, no faith required.

Colossians 2:8 (KJV)

 8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

The Message and miracle of Fatima is a lie, a hoax. The Catholic Church propagates to the world that the Blessed Virgin of Fatima gave the following requests to the 3 children:

WHAT DOES THE MESSAGE OF FATIMA REQUEST? 


At Fatima Our Lady said that God wished to establish in the world devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady said that many souls would be saved from Hell and the annihilation of nations averted if, in time, devotion to Her Immaculate Heart were established principally by these two means: 


1) the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by the Pope together with the world's bishops in a solemn public ceremony, and 


(2) the practice or receiving Holy Communion (and other specific devotions of about 1/2 hour in duration) in reparation for the sins committed against the Blessed Virgin Mary, on the first Saturdays of five consecutive months--a practice known to Catholics as "the First Saturday" devotion. 


WHAT DOES THE MESSAGE OF FATIMA WARN? 


It warns that if the requests of Our Lady of Fatima for the Consecration of Russia and the First Saturday devotion are not honored, the Church will be persecuted, there will be other major wars, the Holy Father will have much to suffer and various nations will be annihilated. Many nations will be enslaved by Russian militant atheists. Most important, many souls will be lost. 


WHAT DOES THE MESSAGE OF FATIMA PROMISE? 


The Message of Fatima promises that if the requests of Our Lady of Fatima are carried out "My Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will Consecrate Russia to Me, which will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to mankind.


SOURCE: http://www.fatima.org

This stuff is better than science fiction... as a matter of FACT, it is science fiction! Let me quote a phrase from the above article again...

"Our Lady said that many souls would be saved from Hell and the annihilation of nations averted if, in time, devotion to Her Immaculate Heart were established..."

Can anyone show me that in the Bible? No, you CANNOT! John 14:6 tells us that the ONLY way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. . . .

John 14:6 (KJV)

 6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Catholicism is a lie of the Devil! No greater fraud exists in the world today than Roman Catholicism. From the cradle-to-the-casket, Roman Catholicism has a package for you, and it's all a package of rotten tomatoes. If you die in your sins you'll burn in Hell fire for all eternity.

Revelation 20:11-15 (KJV)

 11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Romans 10:3-4 expressly warns against going about to establish your “OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

 Romans 10:3-4 (KJV)

 3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

 4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Romans 4:6 (KJV)

 6Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

Jesus commands in John 5:39 for us to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES. And He tells us why in the rest of the verse... “for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which TESTIFY OF ME.” The Scriptures testify completely, exclusively and abundantly about the precious Lord Jesus Christ. In sharp contrast, Jesus' earthly mother, Mary, is not anything. The Vatican has been grasping at straws for centuries trying to justify the worship of Mary, but it's impossible to do so with the Word of God. Mary worship clearly originated back at Babel with Nimrod and Semiramis.

The Message of Fatima is Satanic, totally contrary to the Word of God! NO AMOUNT OF DEVOTION to Mary can save a person from hell. Where in the world did Catholics ever get the crazy idea that Mary is to be recognized at all? Roman Catholicism has it's origins in a heathen Babylonian religion which worshipped the “Queen of Heaven” (Jeremiah 44:19,25). ...

Jeremiah 7:18 (KJV)

 18The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

The Catholic Church even addresses the “Blessed Virgin Mary” as the “Queen of Heaven,” revealing it's pagan ancient Babylonian origin. Where do you think they got that term from? It came from ancient Babylon. Please don't believe the lies of the Catholic religion any more, turn to Jesus Christ by faith and He WILL forgive you and cleanse your sins away with His precious blood.

1 Peter 1:18-19 (KJV)

 18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

 19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Revelation 1:5 (KJV)

 5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

Revelation 7:14 (KJV)

 14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

The praise, prayers, and idolization of Our lady of Fatima is the same as witchcraft, because the Devil is the father of Catholicism. Nearly all Catholics are stubborn, close-minded, and knowingly REJECT the knowledge of God (Mark 7:6-13; Romans 10:3-4; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Romans 3:19-20 — King James Bible).

Mark 7:6-13 (KJV)

 6He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

 7Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

 8For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

 9And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

 10For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

 11But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

 12And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

 13Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Romans 10:3-4 (KJV)

 3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

 4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)

 8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Titus 3:5 (KJV)

 5Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Romans 3:19-20 (KJV)

 19Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

 20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Matthew 22:29 (KJV)

 29Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

The Rosary is Blasphemy Against God!

The Rosary is Blasphemy Against God!

The rosary is a damnable heresy, nowhere taught in the Word of God. I am saddened that so many people have fallen hook, line, and sinker for the damnable teachings of the Roman Catholic religion. I say "damnable teachings" because they are NOT based upon the Bible, but rather upon traditions and superstitious fairytales (like Fatima).

The following GREEN paragraphs is from www.Catholicity.com, titled "The Fifteen Promises of the Rosary." I am going to refute these lies with the Bible, my responses will be in bold white type.

The Fifteen Promises of the Rosary


Our Lady made these promises to Christians who faithfully pray the Rosary:

1. To all those who shall pray my Rosary devoutly, I promise my special protection and great graces.

It sounds great, but what is the "special protection" and what are the "great graces." Talk is cheap, you've got to tell us more than that. And what's with the "my Rosary" deal?  If the rosary belongs to Mary, where does God fit into the picture? Roman Catholics are utterly consumed in mind, body, and spirit with the "blessed virgin Mary" while Jesus Christ is ignored. In any Catholic worship service and you'll see Mary exalted to the heavens, but what does the Bible say concerning this heathen practice?  The Bible declares...

Philippians 2:9-10 (KJV)

 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Listen to any Roman Catholic worship service and all you will hear is Mary, Mary, Mary! The Bible teaches that ONLY the name of Jesus Christ should be exalted, for there is NO salvation in any other name...

Acts 4:12 (KJV)

 12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

2. Those who shall persevere in the recitation of my Rosary will receive some special grace.

There is absolutely nothing in the Bible teaching such foolishness.  God never instructs us to recite anything; on the contrary, God condemns such practices...

Matthew 6:7 (KJV)

 7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Catholicism is as heathen as can be! There was a bunch of nuns chanting the rosary on EWTN (the Eternal Word Television Network for Catholics). They just kept chanting...

Mary, Queen of Heaven...we pray to thee

Mary, Queen of all saints...we pray to thee

Mary, Queen of angels...we pray to thee

Mary, Queen of the holy rosary...we pray to thee

And so on...it lasted for several minutes.

Ironically, Catholics adamantly deny that they pray to Mary. What? Then what do you call the above chants? The nuns were reciting over and over...Mary, Queen of ____...we pray to thee." They are indeed praying to Mary, wickedly so!

Folks, please do NOT be deceived by the devil, Roman Catholicism is straight out of the pits of hell. Jesus Christ is the ONLY Way to heaven, not the blessed virgin Mary. Furthermore, Mary did not remain a virgin (contrary to the perpetual virginity teachings of the Catholic religion). 

Please don't be deceived by the double-talk of Catholics. In one breath they admit that Mary is not the way to heaven, yet as you will read in promise # 5 below, they do teach that praying the rosary to Mary guarantees heaven. God does not play Word Games like Catholics do; God said what He meant, and we had better listen to Him or else. Romans 3:4 declares, "... let God be true, but every man a liar..."

Romans 3:4 (KJV)

 4God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

3. The Rosary will be a very powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, deliver from sin and dispel heresy.

 What a bunch of lies! Do you really believe that counting 59 beads and a cross on a rosary is going to accomplish anything other than wasting your time? Jesus never taught any such nonsense. The Bible never teaches us to count beads or pray a rosary. In Matthew 6:9-13, Jesus taught us how to pray...

Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)

 9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

 10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

 11Give us this day our daily bread.

 12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

 13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Jesus said, "After this manner therefore pray ye..." Jesus didn't tell us exactly what to pray, but He taught us in what "manner" to pray. I don't see anything about a hail Mary in there. God wants us to adore Him, to worship His good and perfect name. God wants us to seek the kingdom of God first,

Matthew 6:33 (KJV)

 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

and God's will in our life. God wants us to be repentant, humble, and forgiving of others. God wants us to pray to avoid temptation (to walk in the Spirit). God wants us to brag on Him and boast about His greatness and power. If you boil this prayer all down into simplest form, you basically have 2 things:

God is everything, and we desperately need God. 


Roman Catholics foolishly and sinfully ADD Mary to the list.  God will NOT accept any worship that includes Mary or anyone else.

Also, praying the rosary can't dispel heresy because it is heresy itself. The Bible teaches that heresy is exposed by shining the light of God's Word upon the darkness.

Psalm 119:105 (KJV)

 105Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

The Bible is a "lamp" unto our feet to light the path. God's Holy Spirit is our guide to "guide us into all truth"

John 16:13 (KJV)

 13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

If a doctrine doesn't fit within the parameters of the Bible, then it is heresy! If you don't like this, then it is only because you do NOT believe the Bible. Praying the rosary will do nothing but waste your time and upset God.

4. The rosary will make virtue and good works flourish, and will obtain for souls the most abundant     divine mercies. It will draw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

The Bible teaches in John 17:17,

John 17:17 (KJV)

 17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

It is the Word of God that sanctifies us (sets us apart "from" the world and "to" God). Catholicism elevates the rosary above the Word of God. The rosary cannot sanctify you. How can you be sanctified by repeating a bunch of vain repetitions? The term "hail Mary" is NOT even mentioned once in the Bible! Not once! Think about it.

5. Those who trust themselves to me through the Rosary will not perish.

 This is one of the most blasphemous statements I've read. The Catholic religion teaches that those who trust MARY through the ROSARY will not perish. That's a dirty lie of the devil. The Bible proclaims...

John 3:16 (KJV)

 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

You can pray a million rosaries and trust Our Lady of Fatima (Mary) with all your heart, but you WILL go straight to hell when you die and face the judgments of God.  God sent His Son into the world to pay the price, the ransom, for our many sins.  Jesus Christ has made salvation available to all men, all you need to do is to forsake your false religion, and place 100% of your faith in Christ alone, not the Great Whore of Catholicism.

By the way, Mary (Jesus' mother) is not the great Whore, Mary of the Roman catholic church is the Great Whore.  Roman Catholicism has created a MONSTER out of Mary that is all a big lie.  False doctrines such as "the assumption of Mary, "the "Immaculate Conception of Mary," and Mary's "Perpetual Virginity" are fictitious lies of the devil nowhere found in the Bible.

6. Whoever recites my Rosary devoutly reflecting on the mysteries, shall never be overwhelmed by misfortune. He will not experience the anger of God nor will he perish by an unprovided death. The sinner will be converted; the just will persevere in grace and merit eternal life.

Wow! Talk about a flame-broiled whopper! This is extreme Catholic blasphemy against a Holy God.  No sinner will ever be converted by reciting the rosary! The ONLY hope of salvation is through Jesus Christ ALONE...

John 6:40 (KJV)

 40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

"Never be overwhelmed with misfortune"? Again, it sounds great but it's simply NOT true, Catholics suffer from misfortune just like all other human beings do. We live in a fallen world and suffering is simply a part of this temporal life, Christian or not. Being a Christian doesn't necessarily make life any easier, but it does make life better because you have the Lord Jesus Christ by your side all the time.  At what point did Mary become a superstar? It surely didn't happen in the Bible. 

Roman Catholics and even Lutherans disgracefully elevate Mary to extreme levels NOT taught anywhere in the Scriptures. Mary was a sinful, but virtuous, human being who was graciously chosen by God to be used as a vessel to bring Christ into the world. Mary has no special position or recognition with God. Mary is NOT the "mother of God," God has no mother. 

Mary was the mother of the man Jesus Christ, but the incarnate Godhead has no mother. Jesus Christ had NO earthly father, but was conceived by a miracle of the Holy Spirit of God. Mary was a good and respectable woman, but she was still a hell-deserving sinner, just like any other virtuous lady who is a child of God.

7. Those truly devoted to my Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.

Can't you see that the Vatican wrote this garbage? Fatima is a big Hoax! The Catholic religion is raking in billions upon billions of dollars from foolish people who are following the Unbiblical traditions of men. So now Mary is telling you that you need the sacraments if you really mean business, and if you don't mean business then you have no guarantee of heaven. 

This is how the Catholic religion subtly mandates the sacraments. Do you see the gimmick in all of this? Every Catholic that I speak with says that the sacraments are not necessary for salvation, yet the black and white teachings of Catholicism contradict them.

8. Those who are faithful to recite my Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces and will share in the merits of the blessed.

By the way, I've never heard a Catholic priest yet encourage his listeners to study the Bible for themselves. The Bible is the BIGGEST ENEMY of the Roman Catholic Church.

9. I will deliver promptly from purgatory souls devoted to my Rosary.

There is NO such teaching as purgatory in the Bible. The foolish rich man in Luke 16 died without Christ and went straight to hell to suffer in torment. Jesus never said it was a parable (as He always did when He told a parable). Literal names were used (Lazarus, Abraham). It wasn't a "certain man" in a "certain  place," the details were specific. We must accept the account as real. There is no teaching in the Bible of a temporal place of punishment.

10. True children of my Rosary will enjoy great glory in heaven.
11. What you shall ask through my Rosary you shall obtain.
12. To those who propagate my Rosary I promise aid in all their necessities.

The above three promises of Our Lady of Fatima (Mary) are nonsense not found in the Bible. Jesus told us to pray in His name to the Father, no mention is ever made of Mary. Where in the world did the Catholic religion ever come up with this stuff from?, it certainly wasn't from the Bible. Are the manmade doctrines of the early Catholic Fathers to be accepted as superior to the Word of God? The Vatican believes so. 

It's sickening that so many millions of people are starving to death around the world while the Vatican is decked out in the finest of precious ornaments, decoration, and priestly garb. While the priests are drinking from cups made of pure gold, children in many nations are drinking muddy water from rivers where animals and people defecate. "Promise" # 12 above says that Mary will "aid in all their necessities." I wonder how many little children who are starving have been fed by Catholicism's Mary. It's obvious to any sensible person Catholicism takes in much more money than it gives out. Our Lady of Fatima is a liar!

13. I have obtained from my Son that all the members of the Rosary Confraternity shall have as their intercessors, in life and in death, the entire celestial court.
14. Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion to my Rosary is a special sign of predestination.

Again, there is no Scriptural support for the above lies. Devotion to the rosary is a sign of spiritual blindness and misguided faith, nothing else. Those who recite the rosary are worshipping God in vain, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men...

Mark 7:6-9 (KJV)

 6He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

 7Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

 8For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

 9And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

This article is to WARN people that the Catholic religion is all a bunch of lies, based upon the traditions of men, and NOT upon the inspired and preserved Word of God.

Gay Friendly Christians

Gay Friendly Christians

Christianity Today Doesn't Want to Ban Gay Marriage!

The "gay" agenda is without a doubt one of the hottest (if not the hottest) issue facing Americans today.  Never before in American history have so many homosexuals been so prevalent in society.  Never before in American history have so many homosexuals been in positions of power.  Whereas homosexuality was once illegal and shunned as a disgrace in society, today it is readily accepted as an "alternative lifestyle" and a "right."  Whereas psychologists and psychiatrists were once trained to deal with homosexuality as a "problem," today they are instead required to help homosexuals accept who they are.  Whereas the Word of God condemns homosexuality as a SIN which brings the judgment of God.

Romans 1:24-32 (KJV)

 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

 28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

 31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Society today is increasingly embracing homosexuality as a normal and acceptable way of life.  This is just another indicator of the apostate times we are living in.

We are Living in Some Very Dark Times!

Very few people realize just how far Americans have sunk into the abyss of evil.  As a nation we have allowed the murder of over 40,000,000 little babies through torturous abortion.  As a nation we sat back and watched Terri Schiavo being tortured to death through dehydration and starvation.  As a nation we have allowed our reckless government to murder over 100,000 innocent Iraqis in a bloodbath based upon the lies of a corrupt and evil White House administration.  As a nation we have allowed drunken driver after drunken driver to kill millions of innocent people, yet have failed to do anything about it (like outlaw alcohol).  As a nation we have allowed homosexuality to flourish, flourish to the point where Christians are now being arrested for speaking out against homosexuality.  Unfortunately, there are not enough Christians obeying the Scriptures by speaking out against homosexuality.

Psalm 94:16 (KJV)

 16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

Thus, homosexuals WILL get their rights and sin-fighting Christians WILL be persecuted.  Halliburton is presently building concentration camps in the U.S.!  You can be guaranteed it will be the protesters, patriots, and Christians who are put into them!!!  We will all be mislabeled as "terrorists".  Are you aware of the recently created term "Christian Terrorism"?  According to Wikipedia.com:

Christian terrorism comprises terrorist acts by groups or individuals who claim Christian motivations or goals for their actions. As with other forms of religious terrorism, Christian terrorists have relied on idiosyncratic or literal interpretations of the tenets of faith – in this case, the Bible. Such groups have used Old Testament and New Testament scriptures to justify violence and killing or to seek to bring about the "end times" described in the New Testament,while others have hoped to bring about a Christian theocracy. - SOURCE

But isn't it interesting in light of all the Alabama churches burned to the ground in 2006, that no mention was ever made of "terrorists" setting the fires?  So if you block an abortion clinic, you're a terrorist; but if you burn a church to the ground, then you're just an arsonist.  The Ku Klux Klan has become synonymous with hatred for homosexuals.  The Klan is purposely and falsely labeled as "Christian" to associated Bible-believing Christians with the group.  The truth is that the KKK is a Satanic organization.  You can expect that government authorities in the near future will be labeling ALL TRUE Christians as terrorist criminals.  This will be easy to do simply by comparing them to professed pseudo-Christian groups such as the KKK.  In fact, Wikipedia gives a listing of "Christian terrorist" groups on their website.  The term "Christian terrorism" is frightening indeed.  You can also expect that preaching against homosexuality in public WILL become punishable as hate-crime.  The next Democrat to take office WILL pass similar legislation here in America.  Christians who preach the Word of God WILL go into detention camps.

Christianity Today and Gay Marriage

There was an article published in Christianity Today magazine by Chad W. Thompson.  The article is titled "Banning Gay Marriage is Not the Answer."  Mr. Thompson stresses that Christians are often quick to condemn homosexuality, but fail to reach out in love to the gay community.  Although Thompson's words are eloquent and his motives seemingly good, it just doesn't work that way.  I've met enough homosexual people in my life to know that they are generally hostile towards God, the Bible, and Christians.  Why?  Simply because God has clearly stated in His Word that homosexuality is an abominable sin (Leviticus 20:13).  Homosexuals have every reason to hate the Bible and anyone who preaches the Bible's message against homosexuality.  It's amazing how so many people are quick to focus on Jesus' love for sinners, but always seem to miss those little phrases like in John 5:14...GO AND SIN NO MORE...LEST A WORSE THING COME UNTO THEE.  Jesus didn't avoid the sin issue, we can clearly see that in John 2:15...

John 2:15 (KJV)

 15And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

Mr. Thompson's approach would have been for Jesus to quietly walk into the temple and get to know the greedy people first.

Jesus didn't condemn people, the Word of God does that.  However, Jesus did preach the Bible.  In John chapter four we find Jesus speaking with a Samaritan woman.  Half way through the conversation He informs her that she is an adulterer.

John 4:18 (KJV)

 18For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

Now that wasn't a very nice thing to do (was it Mr. Thompson?).  The Bible is God's Word and has already condemned ALL humanity.  Jesus didn't come into the world to condemn anyone simply because the Word of God had already condemned them.

John 3:17 (KJV)

 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:36 (KJV)

 36He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Jesus came to this world offering a solution to man's sin debt.  Jesus paid the price for our sins with His very own blood.  Yet, Jesus needed to point out to people the FACT that they are sinners.  You can't get saved if you don't come to the realization that you are a sinner.  If you're not a sinner, then you wouldn't need a Saviour.  The truth is that Jesus always preached the truth in love, but you need to have BOTH  Mr. Thompson's approach is to reach out to homosexuals in love, but without the truth (or by watering down the truth).

The truth is intolerant Mr. Thompson.  1 + 1 will always equal 2.  You can try to say that 1 + 1 = 3 if you'd like, but it will never be the truth.  Homosexuality is a sin, and the homosexual community will NEVER listen to our message of love (anymore than they'll listen to our message of judgment), just so long as we continue to refuse to accept their sinful lifestyle.  We must preach the message of sin.  The law of God is against all flesh.  We are all sinners in need of salvation. Homosexuals can be forgiven and saved.  God doesn't hate anyone, and neither do I.  God loves homosexuals; but hates the sin of homosexuality!

Here is one of Clad Thomson's recommendations for "reaching out" to the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered) community...

"Attend a gay pride rally in your city, not to politically demonstrate against homosexuals, but simply to build relationships with them. For the past few years, I have attended the gay pride parade in Des Moines simply to pass out cold water and pizza to the lesbian and gay people in attendance."

Is this what Christianity has come to in America...passing out pizza at gay parades?  What does the Bible say about "building relationships" with the ungodly...

2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (KJV)

 14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

 15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

Is that the approach that the Apostle Paul took?  Lets take a look at Acts 20:20,21 to find out...

Acts 20:20-21 (KJV)

 20And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

 21Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our message needs to be one of repentance from unbelief towards God, of turning in faith to the Saviour for the forgiveness of SINS.  The whole purpose of the atoning work of Christ was to save us from our SINS.  The sin issue MUST be addressed.  Too many believers are trying desperately to break away from the "SIN" issue when trying to reach people for God.  The mention of "sin" does offend people, often greatly.  Howbeit, we must not stop preaching that Bible's message that we are all sinners deserving of hell.

Romans 3:10 (KJV)

 10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 3:23 (KJV)

 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Revelation 20:15 (KJV)

 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves a person...

Romans 1:16 (KJV)

 16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

America Has Gone Apostate!

The way to reach lost sinners is with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  The Gospel is the "power" of God that brings salvation.  If a person won't listen to the plain and simply Gospel of Jesus Christ, then they don't want to get saved.  I agree with Mr. Thompson that we need to get out amongst the lost sinners we are trying to reach, but we mustn't trim our message for the sake of being accepted.  I am so frustrated by Christian people who dip their sails (what they really believe) in an attempt to reach others for God.  The homosexuals don't try to hide who and what they are, neither should we.  I am a born again Christian.  I am against all forms of sin (as every Christian should be).  I am against homosexuality, bisexuality, fornication, adultery, immorality, etc.  I make no apologies for the truth.  I make no apologies for what I believe.  If I have to hide my true beliefs and dip my sails to reach someone for God, then I am trying to reach them under false pretenses

This weak-kneed Christian generation that we live in is trying to kowtow with the wicked to reach them for God.  The results are tragic.  The whole concept of "Christian rock" is based upon this faulty reasoning.  There is no such thing as "Christian rock."  The FACT is that all rock music is straight from the pits of hell, there ain't nothing "Christian" about it.  America has become so apostate that lesbians and homosexuals are now pastoring churches and working in the ministry (Satan's ministry).  Should it be surprising that Christianity Today doesn't want to ban gay marriages?  Not at all, they're going downhill fast.  In fact, they also endorse Harry Potter's witchcraft.  We're supposed to be standing firmly against the wickedness of our day, not rubbing shoulders with the wicked in an attempt not to offend them...let them be offended!  The truth usually offends people.  God is wearied with this truthless generation of believers.

Gay marriages should be banned!  I don't even have to give you Scripture verses to tell you why gay marriages are so wrong.  How can a child properly develop their own sexual identity when they are missing a mother or father?  A boy growing up with two mothers is going to be very confused.  He needs a father.  This is common sense folks, not rocket science.  The Word of God is clear on this matter, God created Adam and Eve...not Adam and Steve.  I sincerely believe that Chad Thompson's article at Christianity Today is sincere, but gay marriage should be banned.  I agree that Christians need to reach out to homosexuals with God's love, but reaching out MUST be done in TRUTH, not compromise.  At the end of Mr. Thompson's article, he says...

"...Ultimately, the battle we fight is not for the banning of same-sex marriage.  Rather, it is a battle to win the hearts of our world's LGBT people."

Mr. Thompson's article is no doubt a big hit with the homosexual community because it permits gay marriages.  So following Mr. Thompson's faulty reasoning, we should permit other forms of sin as well in an attempt to "win the hearts" of the wicked.  Thus, we shouldn't speak out against the adulterous and murderous movies spewing out of Hollywood, rather we should pass out pizza and try to win their cold and stubborn hearts to God.  They will laugh in our faces and spit on us.  The way to reach the wicked is with the power of God, the Gospel.

Romans 1:16 (KJV)

 16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV)

 17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

It's the simple Gospel that brings a person to God.

Love is NEVER Sinful Compromise!

Please don't misunderstand me. We read in Jude 1:22 that compassion is the only way to reach some people for God.

Jude 1:22

King James Version (KJV)

 22And of some have compassion, making a difference:

Whereas the letter of the law killeth, it is the Spirit of God that giveth life.  I am not saying that we shouldn't do everything possible to express God's love to lost sinners.  I am not saying that we should be unkind or rude.  I am not saying that we shouldn't love people.  I AM saying that the wicked and the righteous will never coexist in harmony...

Proverbs 29:27 (KJV)

 27An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

A person who is a homosexual has already sunk to the bottom of the ladder of sin.

Romans 1:24-26 (KJV)

 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Yes, God still loves them, wants to save them, and cares about them; but most of them are set in their wicked ways (which is why God gave them up in the first place).  In other words, Christians are wasting their time trying to kowtow with homosexuals...they are not going to get saved just because we are cooperative with them. Again, I'm not saying that we should be unkind, not at all.  I am not saying that we shouldn't try to reach homosexuals for God.  I AM simply saying that we shouldn't condone any of their wickedness in an attempt to win their hearts.  Gay marriages SHOULD be banned.  If that offends gays to the point where they'll refuse to get saved, then that is their problem.  We are commanded by God to preach the truth, never compromisingly for any reason whatsoever.  I'm just saying that we shouldn't back down from the direct truth that HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN.

Christians Must Come Out of Their Closets!

Michael Marcavage (www.repentamerica.com), went to a Phillies ball game.  At the game (with park permission), he displayed a large banner throughout the game which read "Homosexuality is a sin, Christ can set you free."  Now that's the way we should preach the truth.  Everyone at that ballgame was presented with the issue of SIN, and the solution which is in the SON, Jesus Christ.  In my opinion, Mr. Thompson's article is nothing less than a carnal Christian's endorsement of gay-marriage.  Banning gay marriages IS the answer for millions-upon-millions of little children who are going to grow up missing a father or a mother.  What are the "Christians" at Christianity Today thinking?  It's bad enough that homosexuals are coming out of their closets left and right, it even worse that most of America's Christians are hiding in their own closets.  Come out!  Come out!  Come out of your closet oh Christian!  Come out!  Cry aloud against the SIN of homosexuality.

If you are a homosexual, God loves you and so do I.  I did not write this article to slander or degrade homosexuals, but rather to remind Christian believers that there is NO middle ground on this issue.  Homosexuality is a sin and must never be accepted by Bible believing Christians.  To do so is apostasy.  Jesus may have been a friend of sinners, but He certainly did not condone or partake of their their sins.  Gay-marriage must be banned.  Too many Christians are becoming "gay friendly" (meaning that they don't hate homosexuality and are increasingly becoming acceptant of homosexuality in society).  Notice that I said hate "homosexuality," NOT homosexuals.  We are to love everyone, but love does not mean that we should stop hating sin.  Our love for God and the Word of God MUST come first.  As true believers, we must stand uncompromisingly against the works of darkness, against the works of Satan, against gay marriages.
