Recently, this question came across my desk:
Revelation 12:17. the dragon became angry with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring, those who keep God’s commandments and bear witness to Jesus.*h Please tell me, what self denominated church could possibly be more BIBLICAL THAN THE ONE HOLY JUDEO-roman Catholic and APOSTOLIC Church?
And I replied:
"Any church that teaches men to call other men “Father” is in apostasy and acting directly against the instruction given by Yeshuah.
This is a terrible and obvious heresy.
A great price was paid so that we poor children could be a part of the Family of God and be able to call the Creator “Father”.
What kind of “church” despises that precious gift and sets itself and its leaders above the exact and explicit instruction given to us by Yeshuah?
We are not held harmless for such terrible and mindless errors."
I should have gone on from there. For example:
What possible excuse is there for changing Yeshuah's name to "Jesus" which means "Hail Zeus!"?
Not only did they change Yeshuah's name, they changed his Father's name, too.
Yeshuah's native tongue was Aramaic, so when he spoke of his Father in Heaven he used the name "Allah".
Let that sink in.
When God sits upon the Mercy Seat his name is Allah. When he sits upon the Throne of Judgement, his name is Jehovah.
So for the past thousand years all the churches in Christen-dumb have unwittingly been calling down judgement upon themselves and butchering Muslims for worshipping Allah.
The Crusades and so many other evils involving "killing for Christ" could have been avoided.
These gross errors about fundamental things have been perpetuated by and institutionalized in the Roman Catholic Church, and though there are plenty of competent scholars in the Church who are aware of these errors, nothing is done to correct them.
You have to ask yourself --- why?
Yeshuah told us, "I am come so that you might have life and have it abundantly." This is his mission statement from his own mouth.
Where do we see any reflection of this in the Roman Catholic Church? No, instead, people are taught to suffer and endure and sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice.
This is diametrically opposed to Yeshuah's own stated mission, but again, nobody notices?
The goal is for us to be fully and abundantly alive in every moment, to be fulfilled, happy, healthy, joyous, but when has the Roman Catholic Church focused on this at all?
Yeshuah never talked about sacrifice. He talked about abundance and faith, gratitude, and forgiveness. I will give a gold star to anyone who can show me where Yeshuah ever spoke the word "sacrifice". Even the literal sacrifice of his own life he described as a gift of love.
I'll also give a gold star to anyone who can show me that Yeshuah ever taught anything about "Christ" or "Christianity" or called himself "Christ" even once. Instead, "Christianity" appears to be a Mystery School Cult from Egypt, having little or nothing to do with Yeshuah or anything he taught.
So now, perhaps, things that otherwise make no sense, do -- and everyone who reads this can begin to see the tip of this enormous iceberg.
It should also be apparent that depending on priests and experts for one's salvation is not an option. Being trusting, lazy, and gullible is a wide and easy road that leads to perdition. We each have to take responsibility for ourselves,

And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven. [Matthew 23:9]
"Call none your father upon earth": Neither be ye called masters. The meaning is that our Father in heaven is incomparably more to be regarded, than any father upon earth: and no master to be followed, who would lead us away from Christ. But this does not hinder but that we are by the law of God to have a due respect both for our parents and spiritual fathers, (1 Cor. 4. 15) and for our masters and teachers.

On the Reformation

Results and consequences of the Reformation
The Reformation destroyed the unity of faith and ecclesiastical organization of the Christian peoples of Europe, cut many millions off from the true Catholic Church, and robbed them of the greatest portion of the salutary means for the cultivation and maintenance of the supernatural life. Incalculable harm was thereby wrought from the religious standpoint. The false fundamental doctrine of justification by faith alone, taught by the Reformers, produced a lamentable shallowness in religious life. Zeal for good works disappeared, the asceticism which the Church had practised from her foundation was despised, charitable and ecclesiastical objects were no longer properly cultivated, supernatural interests fell into the background, and naturalistic aspirations aiming at the purely mundane, became widespread. The denial of the Divinely instituted authority of the Church, both as regards doctrine and ecclesiastical government, opened wide the door to every eccentricity, gave rise to the endless division into sects and the never-ending disputes characteristic of Protestantism, and could not but lead to the complete unbelief which necessarily arises from the Protestant principles. Of real freedom of belief among the Reformers of the sixteenth century there was not a trace; on the contrary, the greatest tyranny in matters of conscience was displayed by the representatives of the Reformation. The most baneful Caesaropapism was meanwhile fostered, since the Reformation recognized the secular authorities as supreme also in religious matters. Thus arose from the very beginning the various Protestant "national Churches", which are entirely discordant with the Christian universalism of the Catholic Church, and depend, alike for their faith and organization, on the will of the secular ruler. In this way the Reformation was a chief factor in the evolution of royal absolutism. In every land in which it found ingress, the Reformation was the cause of indescribable suffering among the people; it occasioned civil wars which lasted decades with all their horrors and devastations; the people were oppressed and enslaved; countless treasures of art and priceless manuscripts were destroyed; between members of the same land and race the seed of discord was sown. Germany in particular, the original home of the Reformation, was reduced to a state of piteous distress by the Thirty Years' War, and the German Empire was thereby dislodged from the leading position which it had for centuries occupied in Europe. Only gradually, and owing to forces which did not essentially spring from the Reformation, but were conditioned by other historical factors, did the social wounds heal, but the religious corrosion still continues despite the earnest religious sentiments which have at all times characterized many individual followers of the Reformation.

Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
ReplyDeleteChristianity knows but one sacrifice, the sacrifice which was once offered by Christ in a bloody manner on the tree of the Cross. But in order to apply to individual men in sacrificial form though a constant sacrifice the merits of redemption definitively won by the sacrifice of the Cross, the Redeemer Himself instituted the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to be an unbloody continuation and representation of the bloody sacrifice of Calvary.
