7. Church’s Fathers are the Patriarchs
The true Church has never been fathered by the popes of the Catholic
Church, as one Tony Palmer professes. We are fathered by only one, Jesus
Christ our true Father; He and the Father are one. Therefore, in Him we
are born of the Father above, not of a man and not of an organization.
Ephesians 4:4-6
“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called
in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God
and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. “
We all have one Father and that is God, not a man called God on earth, as is the Pope, but God of Heaven.
On earth, the Bible says the Church is founded on the Prophets and
Apostles. The Jewish Patriarchs are all prophets. The true Church is not
founded on the Catholic Church.
8 Not Catholic Father’s but Christ and Apostles and… ~ Ephesians 2:20
“And you are built up upon the foundation of the Apostles and of the Prophets, and he is The Head of The Corner of the building - Yeshua The Messiah.”
This means we are not built upon the Catholic Popes, but upon the Apostles and Prophets
(including the Patriarchs all of whom were Prophet’s and/or Apostles.)
Our life is in Christ, not in the Catholic fathers or Popes. We do not
spring from the Catholic Popes; they are not our Fathers.
They father an unscriptural institution, not the true Church.
9. God alone is truth! John 14:6
John 14:6 Papal Infallibility
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
The Pope claims “Papal Infallibility.”
As seen above, there is none but Christ who is truth, nor who can be
looked at as infallible. The Catholic Church claims its doctrines are
above even those of the Bible.
The Bible says: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is God-breathed
and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in
righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped
for every good work.”
The Pope’s words are not God-breathed.
Only the words of Scripture are God-Breathed. In 1 Jn. 14:6 above, you
will see that Jesus said He is the truth. Only He remains Infallible.
10. Transubstantiation. Not the body, but an emblem of same.
Moreover, the Church had the true faith
for more than twelve hundred years, during which time the holy Fathers
never once mentioned this transubstantiation — certainly, a monstrous
word for a monstrous idea — until the pseudo-philosophy of Aristotle
became rampant in the Church these last three hundred years. During
these centuries many other things have been wrongly defined, for
example, that the Divine essence neither is begotten nor begets, that
the soul is the substantial form of the human body, and the like
assertions, which are made without reason or sense, as the Cardinal of
Cambray himself admits.[40]
Of the communion offered by Christ He said, “Do this in remembrance of Me!” Luke 22:19
Communion is to ever remain a symbol of Christ’s death and resurrection.
5. Penance vs. Repentance
Penance defined:
-
an act of self-abasement, mortification, or devotion performed to show sorrow for sin.
-
a sacramental rite that is practiced in
Roman, Eastern, and some Anglican churches and that consists of private
confession, absolution, and a penance directed by the confessor
-
something (as a hardship or penalty) resembling an act of penance (as in compensating for an offense)
Penance is not repentance as the Bible
teaches it. Scriptural repentance means to utterly turn away from the
sin, seeing it as a corrupt departure from truth. These 11 teachings of
the Catholic Church represent just some of the key issues the Lord must
resolve and bring to an end before e wouldHe would be willing to say the
Catholic Church is worthy of His true holy Church. All these major
pillars of Catholic Church doctrine are nothing short of corruption.
Furthermore, they represent some of the more blatant ones. There are
many more besides.
Since Paul writes, “Let the man that corrupts the Body be anathema, doomed,” I
can promise you Jesus will not send you into the place on fire with the
judgment of God to be doomed. We are not called to follow a man, not
any man, but to follow the Holy Spirit. Wasn’t it Paul who wrote to us
saying, “8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be
accursed.9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any
other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” We find this passage in Galatians 1:9,10.
In addition, the Catholic Church is
defiled with the blood of the martyrs, the blood of the innocent,
prohibiting and persecuting the Word of Truth throughout all generations
even until this very hour. The Catholic Church bears its own
defilement and is doomed because of it.
Last on my list of concerns but
certainly not least, is its established position as an enemy to the
Jewish people. For hundreds of years the Catholic Church has been
directly involved with many holocausts against the Jewish people, not to
mention those perpetrated against the true Church producing its own
generation of martyrs.
Could the Lord correct all matters of
His grievances against the Catholic Church as listed above? Of course He
could. However, it is highly unlikely that this will transpire. The sin
is ancient. The Church is built on a false foundation and its pillars
have no strength. It would take many years to correct it and He would
have to dismantle the whole thing before He could make such deep
changes. Dismantle it He will! If He must dismantle it, why then would
He bother putting the thing back together again? Why not simply pull out
the new babes in Christ and send them elsewhere to be fed and
nourished? Do I believe we need to accept these new babes and lovingly
nurture them to spiritual health? Yes, I do, but to follow any man is
sin. Our guide must be the Lord Himself. He will lead His new saints to
Pastors who will help and feed the Lord’s Body His food, by His Spirit.
Though the Pope has lovingly extended
his hand to the Protestant Church throughout the world, do not follow
him! If he is God’s agent to open the doors of the Catholic Church to
the truth, let him do so. However, do not follow him into the Church. To
do so is to pass by the Egyptian obelisk in the Vatican courtyard,
which in itself is an abomination to the Lord, and which should remind
you of what the Church is made. Furthermore, if this man is a real
reformer, let him denounce and remove the heresy of Mary worship from
every Catholic Church, and papal worship of himself, as well.
I have seen the ruling spirit over the
world wide Catholic Church. His name is Aligare. In Italian, his name
means, “to twine as with a rope, to bring into bondage.” On his chest
are written the words “The Beast.” Over his head stand the words, “the
spirit of compromise.” I saw him leading all his followers to hell. I
have also seen the spirit that empowers the worship of Mary. Her name is
Ashtoreth. I saw her roaming the heavens above Rome crying out to all
Roman’s, as she declared herself to be the power of life in Mary who
would save them if they would come to her. As their Savior she promised
peace and protection. On and on her blasphemies went. I watched her for
an hour!
Are either one of these entities what
you would desire to have watch over your soul? If not, stay away from
the Catholic Church. If Francis is a healer, may he let the people go to
find God in Christ! In the meantime, let him live and preach the true
Gospel.
As I listened to him on the Copeland
show, the young Anglican Bishop Tony Palmer preached a false Gospel to
make his invitation to Catholicism. How will they feed with pure life
when their very invitation is corrupt?
Concerning Kim Clement, I would have
heard only that God was going to send Reformation into the Catholic
Church which He is, and of course this is an excellent thing, until they
followed Kim’s word by showing the clip from Kenneth Copeland’s show,
then alluding to things which I think they should have avoided.
Reformation is coming to the Catholic
Church, but as I saw in several visions, it will be for the purpose of
beginning to dismantle it. This divine power will divest it of the holy
souls God will call His own. I have seen the visions, as has my adult
daughter Ricci who is also a prophet. So great will be the exodus from
this terrible institution that before it is over, the spirit of
persecution will once again arise against the True Church, the Jewish
people and the new converts fleeing the corruption. I saw in a separate
vision that a great deception would arise from within the Catholic
Church wherein many Christian leaders, Christians, as well as secular
leaders would imbibe its false teachings and lose their souls.
One last thing I might mention here,
Pope Francis may truly be born again. I really do not know. He is a
Jesuit, unless he has renounced that standing and all the rituals that
accompany it. So, for now we have a black Pope. Unless he has truly
given his life to Christ, which I question having seen many unscriptural
act performed by him, how can a Jesuit Pope bring any lasting fruit and
freedom to the souls of hungry people?
Flee the daughter of Babylon! Do not
listen to those who tell you it is safe. It will look like that only for
a season. Run while you can!
In Him,
