Wow! The article above simply suggests that James Robinson (not a fan) was praising one Catholic priest. Jesus praised a Samaritan, an adulteress and a whore who turned to Him.

The difference is the adulteress and whore turned to Christ and repented (was saved). And so should you if you are a Seventh Day Adventist .

Can a Catholic be a Christian? Yes, but I do believe most Christians who find themselves in the RCC, will have an increasing intolerance for the doctrines that clearly go against God's word in scripture. ~BTW, impressive list Sharon!

You are either thoroughly misinformed or you are deceived, to put it in lay person’s language.

Please read here. These are the facts. And while you;re doing that, you may also want to read the following article to get the facts straight.

Here we go again with the, “Catholics believe in and serve the same God and Savior that we do” mess, when we KNOW for certain nothing could be further from the Truth. It is my earnest prayer that many more will, “come out of her” before the Lord returns but saying that the ‘one true church’ follows the precepts of the Bible (from cover to cover), is most definitely NOT THE GOD’S HONEST TRUTH (and I hope Robison and his followers find that out before it’s too late).

I find it interesting that your concepts and beliefs in God, Jesus, and eternal truth all came from the Catholic Church – The only Christian Church for the first 1500 plus years of Christianity. Your Bible is a translation of theirs. You obviously have no real knowledge of the history of your own beliefs. I would love to debate you on this topic. Jesus homself said that he built his church on Peter, the Rock. All of you protestants and supposed evangelicals are memvers of sects that have picked and chosen their beliefs and indeed Bibles, from those of rhe Catholic church. Where did the founders of your sects of Christianity get permission to alter Christianity. From a bunch of stodgy old idealogues in the post-middle ages? From Kings who rewrote the Bible and ordered books of it removed, because they didn’t like or agree with parts of it. Perhaps you falsely believe that Catholics ‘pray’ to the Pope or you don’t believe on the communion of Saints as in all Christan Bibles. Stop listening to televangelists. Buy tbeir vitamins, buy their products, but please stop buying their divisive ideas.

Andrea MacIntyre

There is more with us than against us..

Majorities don’t count in God’s eyes. In fact, it means nothing, nada, zilch.

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Mat 7:14)

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment. (Exo 23:2)

The Roman Catholic church displays a plus sign “+” cross symbol not only on the walls, paintings, windows, and roofs of their churches. Their priests also have these crosses on their clothing. Many other churches also use them and even place them inside a circle as a double symbol of Baal. The crucifix itself is an elongated version of the cross of Baal as well. Pagan Rome of old offered human sacrifices to Baal on these crosses as well.

St Peter’s square has largest solar wheel on the planet. ALL Catholic churches have numerous solar wheels in stain glass windows as well as many other areas of the church. Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris sports a very huge one on its face. There is a great one in ceiling as well as the floor tiles of the monastery of St. Ignatius Loyola in Spain.

They even curved the forks to make that fact known.

44. Hand gestures in the form of a trident can be found depicted in Pagan gods such as Jupiter, Buddah, Appollo, and Hindu diety’s as well. They are called “votive hands” in pagan temples

(Now called the salute to the Trinity)

45. Pine cones used to represent the deity of a solar god Osiris, Bacchus, Dionysus, as well as Mexican gods, Hindu gods, and Assyrian gods can be found all throughout Pagan Rome
The largest pine cone sculpture in the world is found in the “Court of the pine cone” at the Vatican. The pine cone is also found carved into the crooked pagan staff (serpent crosier) of the Popes of Rome. In fact the pine cone is found all throughout the Vatican as well as Cathedrals as decoration. The staff the pope holds with the deformed Jesus and crooked cross on it has a pine cone under the base of the cross.

46. Oanne, the Babylonian fish-god (half man half fish) was depicted by Pagan high priests by wearing a fish head mitre (head dress) upon a mans head to symbolize man and fish joining when the “sun god” set into the ocean. (Neptune = case in point. Half man half fish) One particular Biblical deity that confirms this is “Dagon” found in 1Samuel. (Dag=fish On=sun)
Mitres or head dresses that are worn by all Popes of Catholicism are an exact duplicate of these Dagon head dresses.

47. The Roman sun-god face with the alternating yonic and phallic symbols surrounding his head was found carved in excavated Roman bath houses in England. It is also found as “Apollo” on the facade of the Pergamum Museum in East Berlin.

Some Catholic churches actually have it carved into the Eucharist itself. There is also a statue in Rome of Mary cradling the face within a blaze in her arms as if he is her child. Plus, many Weather reporters use this face inside a solar blaze as a graphic for their weather reports

51. The multi-level crown of the high Pagan priest was first worn by old Babylonian gods in 1800BC. The horned tiara was carved atop Assyrian winged-bull cherubims as well. The Jewish Kabbalistic solar deity wore this very same tiara, as did Krishna.
The bronze tomb of Pope Sixtus depicts his dead body in bronze with this three ringed tiara on his head. On that tiara you can also see 6 serpents upon it. All the Popes have worn the tiara as a symbol of their authority as “gods of the earth, heaven, and hell.” Hence, the “three rings” upon it. The Vatican has a solid gold tiara on display in the Vatican treasury at all times. This is the very crown the Pope will hand to Antichrist when he arrives to impersonate Jesus Christ in the days ahead.

52. Quetzalcoatl, “the lord of life and death” in the Aztec and Toltec cultures of 1000 AD had an opened chest with an exposed heart displayed in his statues. This was believed to be nourishment offered to the sun gods.
Literally hundreds of thousands of statues, paintings, posters, lithographs, rings, medals, and icons have Jesus as well as Mary depicted in the exact same manner with what the Catholic church calls “The sacred heart.” Notice that these “sacred hearts” also have the symbols of the sun god Mithra glowing rather boldly behind them at all times.

53. Assyrian carvings show eagles as genies hovering over the dead. Their “book of the dead” depicts just such a picture on its cover. Eagles are used as symbols all over the Roman Catholic church. See Rev 18:2 for it speaks of the Vatican as the “hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”

Now do you understand WHY the Vatican is called the “WHORE OF BABYLON?

Look here in the New Testament 1Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
1Peter 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is built on himself and Paul and Peter were very careful to say so.

Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
Matthew 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
Matthew 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

It was Peters confession of who Jesus is that Jesus told him that flesh and blood had not revealed the true identity of exactly who Jesus is.

Peter was never a Pope. You will not find the word Pope in scripture. You will not find the word Nun in scripture. You will not find the words Rosary Beads. You will not find Communion being the literal Body and Blood of Jesus Christ…that would be cannibalism. You will not find the word Indulgences or Purgatory…there is no such place. When Jesus was a baby he was not Christened.

Here are some dates for you: Up until AD 1179 there was no catholic teaching called Transsubstantiation. It was then that Pope Innocent decided they needed more Mysticism in the “faith”. Then it was declared that salvation only comes through the Catholic “church.” If that were true then Jesus would not have been crucified and shed his precious blood to atone for the sins of man.

I do not know where you live in this world, but if you can find a little book called “The Trail of Blood” you will learn that a lot of the things you have been taught simply aren’t true.

You also say that Jesus taught His apostles all that he wanted us to know? Sorry that is not true. The Word of God at the direction of the Holy Spirit will teach us all we need to know. I also know that for centuries the Roman Catholic Religion has forbid the flock from reading God’s word for themselves. Have you never wondered why? The reason is that when reading for ones self the Holy Spirit may just use the passages you read will really teach you the truth.

No my friend, the Savior I know, one Lord Jesus Christ did not start the Roman Religion. Did you know that Romanism is rooted in Babylonian Sun Worship. Every “Denomination” except one came out of the Roman “Church” and we can see that the Mother Whore is calling those Harlots back into the fold.

The one denomination that was in existence before the Roman religion the Ana-Baptists.

It is truly your right to believe what ever you choose to believe; God will let you do that. But if you are relying on your infant baptism, your “church”, or anything but the shed blood of Jesus Christ to get you into heaven then I am truly sorry for you. Catholic4Life, interesting name. Being a Catholic for life, not even being a Baptist for life will get you into heaven. But falling on your face, praying to Jesus Christ to forgive you for all of your sins and trusting him, now that will get you to heaven.

Peace to You

Obviously you all don’t know your Church History. The Catholic Church which was founded by Jesus Christ (Who taught His Apostles all He wanted Christians to know) is the same Catholic Church today. if you want to use the priest scandal as an excuse for your attacks- all Catholics are upset by the sins of those priests. The Catholic Church never
instructed them to commit those crimes. By bashing Catholics-
you are attacking Jesus’ Church. i feel sorry for you as you do not receive Jesus True Presence in The Eucharist because you are not Catholics.you also do not obey the Scripture that says “Judge not, lest ye be judged,” i will
pray for your conversion & awakening to God’s truth. We are All Children of God- Let us love one another- as He loves us.”.
