......<<>> WiseOne I really enjoyed your topic on exposing the (Roman Catholic Church). But have you ever studied on where their 40 + (Heresies) come from; (The Ancient Babylonian Cult). In 378 A.D. the (Babylonian Religion and the Roman Christendom / The Roman Catholic Church) United. Thus becoming the Roman Catholic Church. I will be posting a topic on this subject very soon...........Joey.

The Catholic Church has it`s own translation of the Bible translated from text that has been proven to be compromised.

..............<<>> The Roman Catholic Churches uses the same Holy Bible that true born again Christians use. But they (Pervert) and twist the true Gospel of Jesus Christ to fit their man made (Doctrine / Heresies). Here are two topics that a person should study to understand the back ground of the Roman Catholic Church.
#1 - (How the Ancient Babylonian Cult Spread).
#2 - (How the Babylonian and the Roman Christendom United).

Let Me list some of the heresies that the Roman Catholic has adopted over a period of 1,600 years.

(1) - Of all the human inventions taught and practiced by the Roman Catholic Church, which are contrary to the Bible, and the most ancient are the prayers for the dead, and sign of the cross. Both of these began over 300 years after Christ.
(2) - Wax candles were introduced in the churches about 320 A.D.
(3) - Veneration of angels and dead saints began about 375 A.D.
(4) - The Mass as a daily celebration was adopted in 394 A.D.
(5) - The worship of Mary the mother of Jesus and the use of the term Mother of God, as applied to her, originated in the Council of Ephesus in 431 A.D.
(6) - Priest began to dress differently from the laity in 500 A.D.
(7) - The doctrine of Purgatory was first establish by Gregory in 593 A.D.
(8) - The Latin language as the language of prayer and worship in churches was also imposed by Pope Gregory I in the year 600 A.D.
(9) - The Bible teaches that we pray to God alone (John.16:23-26). In the primitive church prayers were never directed to Mary or to dead saints. This practice began in the Roman Church about 600 years after Christ.
(10) - The Papacy / Pope is of pagan origin. The title of pope. or universal bishop, was first given to the bishop of Roman by the wicked emperor Phocas in the year 610 A.D. Jesus did not appoint Peter to the headship of the apostles and He did expressly forbid any such notion (Luke.22:24-26; Eph.1:22, 23 Col.1:18; 1 Cor.3:11).
(11) - The kissing of the Pope's feet began in the year 709 A.D. It had been a pagan custom to kiss the feet of emperors. The Word of God forbids such practices (Acts.10:25, 26; Rev.19:10; 22:9).
(12) - The temporal power of the popes began in the year 750A.D. Jesus expressly forbid such a thing and He Himself refused worldly kingdom (Matt.4:8, 9; 20:25, 26; John.18:36).
(13) - Worship of the cross, images and relics was authorized in 788 A.D. Such practice is called idolatry in the Bible, and is severely condemned (Ex.20:2-6; Deut.27:15; Psalms.115; Rom.2:22; 1 Cor.8).
(14) - Holy Water, mixed with a pinch salt and blessed by the priest, was authorized in the year 850 A.D.
(15) - The veneration of St. Joseph began in the year 890 A.D.
(16) - The baptism of the bell was instituted by Pope John XIV in 965 A.D.
(17) - Canonization of the dead saints, first by Pope XV in 995 A.D. Every believer and follower of Christ is called (Saints) in the Bible (Rom.1:7; 1 Cor.1:2).
(18) - Fasting on Friday and during Lent was imposed in the year 998 A.D. by popes said to be interested in the fishing industry. See (Matt.15:10; 1 Cor.10:25; 1 Tim.4:1-8; Col.2:14-17; Rom.14:1-23).
(19) - The Mass was developed gradually as a sacrifice, and attendance made obligatory in the 11th Century after Christ. The Gospel teaches that the sacrifice of Christ was offered once and for all and is not to be repeated but only commemorated in the Lord's supper. (1 Cor. 11; Heb. 7:27; 9:26-28; 10:10-14).
(20) - The celibacy of the priesthood was decreed by Pope Hildebrand and Boniface VII in the year 1079 A. D. Jesus imposed no such rule nor did any of the apostles. On the contrary, Saint Peter was a married man. (Matt. 8:14-15) and Saint Paul says that bishops were to have a wife and children (1 Tim. 3:2-5, 12; Titus.1).
(21) - The rosary or prayer beads were introduced by Peter the Hermit in the year 1090 A D. This practice was copied by Hindu's and Mohammedans. The counting of prayers is a Pagan practice and is expressly condemned by Christ. (Matt.6:5-13).
(22) - The inquisition heretics was instituted by the Council of Verona in the the year 1184 A. D. Jesus never taught the use of force to spread His religion. (Matt.5 and 10).
(23) - The sale of indulgences, commonly regarded as a purchase of forgiveness and a permit to indulge in sin, begin in the year 1190 A.D. The Christian religion as taught in the gospel, condemns such a traffic and it was the protest against this traffic that brought on the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century.
(24) - The dogma of the transubstantiation was decreed by Pope Innocent III in the year 1215 A.D. By this doctrine the priest pretends to perform a daily miracle by changing a wafer into the body of Christ ,and then he pretends to eat Him alive in the presence of his people during mass. The gospel condemns such absurdities for the Holy Communion is simply a memorial of the sacrifice of Christ. ( Luke 22:19, 20; John 6:35, 1 Cor. 11:26)
(25) - Confession of sins to the priest at least once a year was instituted by Pope Innocent III in the Lateran Council in the year 1215 A.D. The gospel commands us to confess our sins direct to God. (Ps. 51, Isa. 1:18, Luke 7:48 15:21; 1 John 1: 8 and 9).
(26) - The adoration of the wafer (host) was invented by Pope Honorius in 1220 A.D. so the Roman church worships a God made by hands. This is plain idolatry and absolutely contrary to the spirit of the Gospel. ( John. 4:24).
(27) - The Bible was forbidden to layman and placed in the Index of forbidden books by the council of Toledo in 1229 A.D. Jesus and the apostles commanded that the scriptures should be read by all. (John. 5:39: 2 Tim.3:15-17).
(28) - The scapular was invented by Simon Stock, an English monk in 1287 A.D. It is a piece of brown cloth with a picture of the virgin and supposed to contain supernatural virtue to protect those who wear it on the naked skin from all danger. The is fetichism.
(29) - The Roman church forbade the cup to the laity in the council of constance in 1414 A.D. The gospel commands all Christians to celebrate Holy Communion with bread and wine (Matt.26:27; 1 Cor.11:26-29).
(30) - The doctrine of purgatory was proclaimed as a dogma of faith by the council of Florence in 1429 A.D. There is not one word in the Bible that would teach the purgatory of priests. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. (1 John.1:7-9; 2 :1, 2; John.5:24; Rom.8:10; Rev. 1:5; Eph.1:7).
(31)-The doctrine of Seven Sacraments was affirmed in 1439 A.D. The gospel says that Christ instituted only two sacraments, Baptism and the Lord's Supper (Matt.28:19,20;26:26-28).
(32)-The Ave Maria, or the addition a part of the last half, was made in 1508 A.D. It was completed 50 years afterward and finally approved by Pope Sixtus V, at the end of the 16th Century.
(33)-The Council of Trent, held in the year 1545 A.D., declared that tradition is of equal authority with the Bible. By tradition is meant human teachings. The Pharisees believed the same way, and Jesus bitterly condemned them, for by human traditions they nullified the commandments of God (Mark 7:7-13; Col. 2:8; Rev.22:18).
(34)-Six apocryphal books were added to the Bible by the Council of Trent in 1546 A.D. This is contrary to the Bible (Rev. 22:18,19)
(35)-The creed of Pope Pius IV, was imposed as the official creed of Catholics in 1560 A.D. True Christians will retain the Holy Scriptures as their creed. Hence, their creed is 1,500 years older than the creed of Roman Catholics. (see Gal.1:8; Rev.22:18, 19; 2 Tim.2:15;3:15-17).
(36)-The immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary was proclaimed by Pope Pius IX in the year 1854 A.D. The gospel states that all men, with the sole exception of Christ, are sinners. Mary herself had need of a savior (Rom.3:23; 5:12; Psalms.51:5; Luke.1:30, 46-47).
(37)-In the year 1870 A.D. Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of papal infallibility.
(38)-Pope Pius X, in the year 1907 condemned, together with "modernism" all the discoveries of modern science which were not approved by the church. Pius IX had done the same thing in the syllabus of 1864 A.D.
(39)-In the year 1930 Pius XI condemned the public schools.
(40)-In the year 1931 the same Pope Pius XI reaffirmed the doctrine that Mary is "the Mother of God." This doctrine was first invented by the Council of Ephesus in the year 431 A.D. This is a Heresy which is contrary to Mary's own words (Luke.1:46-49).

Please note this list does not include the new sins that the Pope just added. What will be the next invention of the Roman Church? Catholics say their church never changes, yet it has done nothing but invent new doctrines which are contrary to the Bible, and has practiced rites and ceremonies taken wholly from paganism. At least 95% of the rites and ceremonies of the Roman Church are of pagan origin.......Joey.

Joey the Catholic Bible is translated from a different text. It`s not the same Bible. That is a fact.

........<<>> The Bible is the most common term by which the Jewish and Christian Holy book is called.

For Jews, the term "Bible" refers to the (Tanakh).

To Christian, the term in corporates both the (Tanakh) or "Old Testament", and the "New Testament".

Some Christian (among them, the (Roman Catholic) and (Eastern Orthodox) Churches) accept the writing of the Apocrypha (also known as the (Deuterocanonicals) as part of their sacred literature.

Rick the Romans Catholic uses many many books. The Bible is just one of them.........Joey.

Joey don`t be a hard head. The Catholic Bible is translated from the Latin Vulgate. It is a corrupted and altered version of the scriptures. It`s not the same Bible.

I honestly cannot believe that you believe that trash about the Catholic Church.

Christ came to the earth, and established His Church. The One, Holy Catholic & Apostolic Church. He chose His apostles, and gave them the command and authority to teach Matthew 28v'19 ''Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.''

Jesus CHOSE His apostles...John15v16 You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Christians teach by their own authority..they were not CHOSEN by Jesus...The Priests of the Catholic Church are chosen by Jesus and given the authority to teach. The only way to know you belong to the true Church is belonging to the one that Jesus established....It has the Pope as its head.

There are many miracles that can not be explained by humans....the eucharistic miracles, the preservation of the bodies of saints etc.

All you have to do is search!

Stop attacking the Catholic Church, by not accepting the Truths that Jesus Himself left to his Church, you are rejecting the one who you claim to follow.

Open your eyes to the truth.
