PART 7: Antichrists revealed by Christ – Enmity of the antichrists towards Christ

The Roman Catholic Church Catechism removed God’s second commandment which forbids idol worship, and split the tenth commandment in two, to fill the gap.

“You shall not make idols for yourselves; neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves; nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 26:1

“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God.” Exodus 20:4,5

The Catholic Church has many graven images, idols; of baby Jesus, of Jesus on the cross, Mary, Peter, etc.

And the Pope and Catholics bow to the statues and pray to them.

A statue of the Holy Virgin Mary of Fatima is carried during a candlelight vigil at the holy shrine. Thousands of Catholics are clearly seen venerating this idol of Mary.

A shrine is a holy or sacred place, which is dedicated to a specific deity, ancestor, hero, martyr, saint, daemon or similar figure of awe and respect, at which they are venerated or worshiped. (wiki)

You might not do that, but your Pope and other Catholics most certainly do.

Salvation is through Messiah alone, not through Mary!

The Bible says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

The Bible says, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

The Bible says, “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all.” 1 Timothy 2:5-6

Praying to Mary is harlotry, as you are revering and praying to someone else other than the Messiah who paid for your redemption with His blood as the Passover Lamb of Elohim.

Messiah alone is your Savior and Intercessor. The Bible never declares that Mary fulfills those roles.  That is the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, which is contrary to Scriptures.

You will stand in judgment before the Father in Heaven, not the Pope.

You’re only hope is to have a covenant relationship with the Father through faith in His Son.

Read this Bible study to see how what the Popes of Rome have declared is contrary to the Word of God: What Does The Word Of God Say To Catholics

P1.: an intermediate state after death for expiatory purification. specifically : a place or state of punishment wherein according to Roman Catholic doctrine the souls of those who die in God’s grace may make satisfaction for past sins and so become fit for heaven. 2. : a place or state of temporary suffering or misery. Another false doctrines of the antichrists

he following is exactly what the Roman Catholic Churches do

The original facts about Roman Catholic Churches Trinity 

It can, therefore, be seen that the concept of a Trinity of divine beings was not an idea put forth by Jesus Christ or any of the prophets or the apostles of God. This doctrine, now accepted to by Christians all over the world, is entirely man-made in origin.

The evil teachings of the antichrist about Trinity

While Paul of Tarsus, the man who could rightfully be considered the true messenger of Christ Jesus for the Gentiles conversion to Christianity, did not formulate many of its doctrines, that of the Trinity was not among them. He did, however, lay the groundwork for such when he put forth the idea of Jesus being a “divine Son of God.”  and what about a vehicle for God’s revelations to man? In essence, Paul named the principal players, but this does not warrant the Papacy and the reverend fathers to formulate the idea of the so-called trinity.

Tertullian, a lawyer and presbyter of the third century Church in Carthage, was the first to use the word “Trinity” when he put forth the theory that the Son and the Spirit participate in the being of God, but all are of one being of substance with the Father.

When controversy over the matter of the Trinity blew up in 318 between two church men from Alexandria – Arius, the deacon, and Alexander, his bishop – Emperor Constantine stepped into it.

Although Christian dogma was a complete mystery to him, he did realize that a unified church was necessary for a strong kingdom. When negotiation failed to settle the dispute, Constantine called for the first ecumenical council in Church history in order to settle the matter once and for all.

Six weeks after the 300 bishops first gathered at Nicaea in 325, the doctrine of the Trinity was finally accepted as the truth. The God of the Christians was now seen as having three persons, or natures, in the form of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The matter was far from settled, however, despite high hopes for such on the part of Constantine. Arius and the new bishop of Alexandria, a man named Athanasius, began arguing over the matter even as the Nicene Creed was being signed; “Arianism” became the backbone from that time upwards for anyone who did not believe in the doctrine of the Trinity.

It wasn’t until 451, at the Council of Chalcedon that, with the approval of the Pope, the Nicene/Constantinople Creed was set as authoritative. Debate on the matter was no longer tolerated; to speak out against the Trinity was now considered blasphemy, and such earned stiff sentences that ranged from mutilation to death. Christians now turned-on Christians, maiming and slaughtering thousands because of a difference of opinion. Anyone who will not adhere to the abominable truth f the trinity will be severely punished Brutal punishments and even death did not stop the controversy over the doctrine of the Trinity, however, and the said controversy continues even today.

The majority of Christians, when asked to explain this fundamental doctrine of their faith, can offer nothing more than “I believe it because I was made to do so.” It is explained away as “mystery” – yet the Bible says in I Corinthians 14:33 that “… God is not the author of confusion…”

The Unitarian denomination of Christianity has kept alive the teachings of Arius in saying that God is one; they do not believe in the Trinity. As a result, mainstream Christians abhor them, and the National Council of Churches has refused their admittance. In Unitarianism, the hope is kept alive that Christians will someday return to the preachings of Jesus: “…Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.” (Luke 4:8)

Finally, we see that the doctrine of the Trinity is a concept conceived entirely by man; there is no sanction whatsoever from God to be found regarding the matter simply because the whole idea of a Trinity of divine beings has no place in monoPope
