“The Catholic Church is anti Christ?”
“Always has been”
Lol at the downvote.
Truth is uncomfortable sometimes. Also shows that the great awakening applies to ALL THINGS.
If only down-voting came with the requirement of providing a reason just as SCOTUS provides dissenting views.
And the protestant churches that support abortion and gay marriage are not?
People who go to Catholic Churches are not all evil. My family and me. Priests like the Pope are evil evil, but I have experienced the Holy Spirit in the Catholic Churches specially for Holy Week. I love Jesus and his father.
Well said. Catholic here and I agree with you Godisglory1.
God bless and thank u
The holy spirit told me at mass in my Catholic church that my wife and I would have a child after our first son died. Later in the week, my wife was going to have a drink and I told her not to as she was pregnant. A couple of days later same thing. A couple of weeks later, she tells me she is pregnant. We have have a child and name him Matthew. I find out later means "a gift from God." You cannot tell me the Catholic church is evil though some of its leaders are, I believe.
Exactly. Leaders like the “pope” and his people in the Vatican.
Why was your immediate reaction to attack? Do you think the Church whatever variety is immune to subversion?
Not attacking but questioning why all hatred is usually directed to the Catholic church and very seldom toward the Protestant faiths.
Well i don't think the historic child abuse and the cover-up helped but you are right they have become an easy target
I didn’t say they weren’t. Any organization that promotes any doctrine contrary to the Word is undeserving of the title “church”.
I believe the church is really all of us believers and not some institutions that make up rules as they go. Most all churches behave as government's do, they do their own thing regardless if that is in agreement with the word of God.
There is indeed a universal church, which is the collection of all believers alive on earth at any given time.
However, local churches are equally (if not more) important. In the NT you see local churches popping up almost instantly, with the apostles going to great lengths to support them, correct them, and help them grow. Hebrews 10:25 exhorts Christian’s to not forsake these local assemblies.
You are right that many denominations invent their own rules, abandon God’s rules, or just in general slide into corruption and decay. My advice would be to check out as many local churches in your area as you can, and compare their doctrine and practices to the Bible. Find one that boldly preaches the Word on every issue, especially when it takes a stand against evolution, LGBT, and other controversial issues. There aren’t many left, but there are still some.
You seem knowledgable.
I've heard Calvary is solid as they actually teach the scripture. Not sure if you have any opinions on a Church, but I've been looking for a solid church for a while.
Lol, I had a nickel for every church called Calvary, I'd be a billionaire. There's dozens of them just in my area.
At the end of the day, you have to do the legwork both to search the Scriptures and check any prospective church against that standard. That's what the Bereans did before they accepted Paul in Acts 17. Churches often have statements of faith or other summaries of their teachings on their websites. That's a good place to start. These days a lot of them have sermon recordings thanks to the lockdowns, so that's another way you can separate the good from the bad before you ever go visit.
If the church you have in mind preaches the Word unapologetically, and doesn't try twisting it to fit their own doctrine, then you probably have a good church. It may take some trial and error, but God will eventually direct you to a local church that's right for you.
IMHO, all churches that are registered as 501c3 non-profit corporations are an apostasy. How does one serve the Master Jesus when government is the absolute authority Ex incipiente finis over a corporations' charter?
I totally agree and there is no need for them to register as a non-profit.
If by "Antichrist" you mean "opposed to Christ" then yes they are!
It’s a feature not a bug
Mystery Babylon the mother of harlots. My take is mystery Babylon is the Catholic church. The harlots are the protestant churches.
My top picks for what mystery Babylon is:
The RCC
The NWO (Rothschilds, globalists, the Uniparty, etc)
Talmudic Kabbalah Judaism
Each seems to fit the bill in their own way.
"Mystery Babylon" was the Jerusalem (with it's Temple) that was destroyed by Roman General Titus in A.D. 70!
Rev 11:8 - "And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt".
That interpretation requires to Tribulation to have already happened. While some historical events bear superficial similarities to the Tribulation, we’re not there yet. The church gets raptured first.
There will be no rapture. Resurrection of the dead yes - rapture no! The tribulation you speak of has already happened - 70 A.D. Jewish Temple destroyed. That was the "last days". The "last days" of the old covenant.
Always had been? Do you realize Peter was the first leader of this church?
Nope, Peter was never part of any organization called the Roman Catholic Church.
Peter never claimed to be the infallible vicar of Christ.
Peter never taught transubstantiation.
Peter never taught that Mary was sinless or a perpetual virgin.
Peter never taught that you can buy forgiveness of sins (indulgences).
Peter never taught celibacy for priests.
Peter never taught that there even was a class of priests separate from the layman (see Hebrews for how all believers are priests, and that Christ is our high priests. You have no need for some earthly priests to intercede for you.)
Peter never taught that there was a purgatory, much less that you could pray someone out of it into heaven.
The Roman Catholic Church was founded in the 4th century, almost immediately began teaching these and other heresies, and retroactively claimed Peter was one of them to justify their error.
The RCC does not follow Christ or the Bible, but their own traditions, most of which directly contradicts Jesus and His Word.
Also it's interesting that Paul, in Romans chapter 16, as he is thanking about 28 saints of the Church in Rome NEVER mentions Peter. If Peter had been the "Pastor" of the Roman church one would think that Paul would have mentioned Peter - but he does not.
In addition, we see Peter preaching the 1st salvation on the day of Pentecost. The message was recorded in Acts 2:38 - "Repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall received the gift of the Holy Spirit". Does the RCC church teach this today, as God's plan of salvation? NO! BTW I was a RC for the 1st 31 years of my life - I'm 71 now!
transubstantiation was certainly taught by the words of Christ. Of course there are a million ways to interpret the words of Christ.
In his letters, Ignatius refers to Peter and Paul as his spiritual fathers and expresses deep reverence and respect for them. He was mentored by them! Ignatius repeatedly spoke of transubstantiation. Again, maybe modern day scholars knew better than him and the early church. But could be the same with the Jehovahs Witnesses or Mormons, just modern people coming up with new ideas.
4th century is when the church canonized the 27 books of the New Testament. If the church had canonized the Cat in The Hat in the 4th, modern day scholars would not question its inclusion any more than the other 27 books the church decided to include.
Those books are considered holy scripture because Bishop Athanasius sent the Easter Letter" to some churches around 367 AD,l.
Also 4th century was when the concept of the trinity was formalized.
4th Century was when the church convened to refute the 325 AD, the Council of Nicaea met to address the Arian heresy. This belief rejected the divinity of Christ.
4th century, beliefs of Trinity, Divinity of Christ, Atonement, And Original Sin were formalized. Not sure which of these you disagree with. Overall, I'd say the 4th century was a positive time for the church.
If there truly were a million ways to correctly interpret the Scriptures, then they could be twisted to mean so many different things that they don't actually say anything useful at all, and there would have been no point in God inspiring them in the first place.
Christ did call the bread His body and the wine His blood in the Last Supper. However, since His physical body was in the room with the disciples, and there is not the slightest indication that the disciples literally ate Christ, then the simplest explanation is that Christ was speaking metaphorically, not literally. Given His disposition towards parables, Jesus was not above using metaphor.
Furthermore, both Paul and the author of Hebrews speak of Christ offering His body once for all. See Romans 6:10 and Hebrews 10:10. Yet the doctrine of transubstantiation has Christ's body being offered over and over again, a direct contradiction. In Paul's letters to the Corinthians, Paul instructs them regarding communion as a commemoration of Christ's sacrifice, not as sacrificing Christ again.
Ignatius, or any other historical figure, can have whatever opinion of scripture they want, and claim whatever apostolic lineage they want. That does not render them immune to error, and if their ideas are incongruent with scripture, then the former must be discarded.The same goes for newer groups like the Mormons or JW's.
Some of the administrative structure of the RCC dates back to 200 AD, but all of its distinctly heretical doctrines date from 400 AD or later. Indulgences, Purgatory, praying to saints, the adoption of pagan holidays, the insistence on Mary's perpetual virginity, etc.
Lastly, the doctrines of the Trinity, Divinity of Christ, and Atonement were not formalized in the 4th century; they plainly and clearly exist in scripture from the beginning. The irrational need for an external organization to confirm what the Bible says is the whole problem with the RCC in the first place, as they have abused their power to teach traditions of men instead of the Word of God.
Francis is heretic!
He's a snakey fella
I go to the Catholic Church and I believe all is not lost. I stopped going in 2021 just after that something evil was trying to get to me as soon I stopped going and one night while I was sleeping something woke me up, I had to call Jesus three times to get out from me and I promised to God go back and have done since. I know they are real evil spirits out there specially hunting people who are devoted to God. Angels, Jesus and God are with me all the time. I am just telling you because I have a lot of miracles done to me. Even when I think about something God granted me with my wishes. You just have to ask John 16:23 I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and he will grant your request because you use my name. I have done that and even directly to him sometimes I don’t have to ask and suddenly he has given it to me just thought about it. God is glory.
You need to find a traditional pre Vatixsn 2 church. The fact that the Vatican is trying to extinguish these traditional churches should be a testimony of their validity alone.
Can you send me a link of one in Florida please.
look up latin mass and your town name. might have to drive. you can also look on FSSP website and SSPX and Institute of Christ the King. all the websites have mass locators
I was digging the latin mass and the same Catholic Churches, but I will keep looking. Thank you so much and God bless you .
What city are you in?
I used to go to the normal Vatican 2 churches until the covid shutdown.Then my parents found that the traditional churches continued their masses outside in the parking lots so then we started going to those services. I personally like it a lot more because it is really quiet and just a time of praying. I know a lot of people love the happy clappy churches so not one size fits all I guess, lol.
Collier county and I like quiet too.

I promised myself never go back to St. Williams, the main priest of that church is disgusting. He was the one who screamed at us to wear the mask. He was so mean because County patriots made the county approved no more masks. He is not nice and thank you so much for all you did for me.
Imagine calling yourself the vicar of Christ. Blasphemer and fool, the papacy is and always was the antichrist! Of course they work with globohomo, they are high members of it!
Ballgarglio
nice!
I debated whether to say it bc Bible says we shouldn't speak ill of dignitaries but my carnal side won out this time.
Jude 1:8-10.
Jesus, being God, has that right. But even Michael the archangel did not, apparently, have that authority vs Satan as the passage indicates
And again, GOD is no respecter of persons specifically
They are FOUNDING members of it.
He's the vicar of "anti-Christ"!
I agree. I have family members that are devout Catholics.
I'm not one to nitpick because accepting Jesus as savior is the silver bullet, regardless of the type of Christianity one follows.
I also don't know if it matters as long as one receives Jesus, but still a question in my mind. Maybe you have an opinion on it?
Regardless, I tried to send them evidence that Catholicism is not what it seems. There is idolatry galore, which contradicts the Bible in many ways.
I believe there are true believers (born again) in the Catholic church despite the Catholic church. But the church itself is the whore of Babylon, and it will fall.
Furthermore there is no single institution that has done more to harm and confuse the Gospel and the Faith than the Catholic church.
I agree with everything you said
It just hit me - Rev 18:24 - all the true believers who the Catholic church has either killed directly (middle ages), or killed spiritually (present day) = And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
I'm Catholic and I'll be the first to admit that this is a BAD pope! I call him the Globalist Pope. They need to get rid of him. Archbishop Vigano, who seems like a very good man, has been calling this pope out for years. When I saw this video, I thought that maybe Slick Willy is meeting with the pope just to go to confession, but I have a feeling that is probably not the case. LOL.
Pope Francis seems awfully glad to see them...almost like he thinks he's saved.
Only problem is, Jesus saves. Soros, eh, well, not so much.
Satan, Anti-Christ and false prophet. The unholy trinity convention.
He sure seemed happy to see Clinton. Birds of a feather.
Lately I've been thinking Martin Luther didn't run far enough from Catholicism.
Been to a couple churches that feel "better" than my Lutheran church regarding teachings etc and especially ritual over substance
Clinton looks like his mental state is slipping like sleepy Joe's.
Two Marxists hanging out.
St. Gallen Mafia strikes again! This after honoring the artist that did Piss Christ back in the 80s. The Church has truly been infiltrated by evil.
Babylon!
Pedo party.
I believe he is the 'black pope'.

First Assange’s wife and now Billy Boi and Alex?
Pope has had quite the packed schedule these past couple of weeks.
Yeah, makes sense. A Satanist fest.
This "white" pope is just a figurehead. The real power in the papacy is the General of the Jesuit Order aka - the black pope.
Although I might add that Frannie Faggot is the first Jesuit (white) pope. Double Damned.
When we let them ignore child molestation in the church for so long, how long did you think it would be before one of the Chesters got to wear the pope hat? Had to happen sooner or later.
Him and Bill have a lot in common. They both love fucking kids.
This bothers me about #SteveBannon. He knows the pope is evil but supports the church anyway. I don’t understand.
Go to any Mass for any Church then go to a Catholic one. You will be like...what..in the FUCK..is this.
I'm confused - what do you mean "go to any Mass for any Church"? I thought the RCC was the only "church" that has a mass. No other non-Catholic churches that I know refer to their church "services" as "masses".
Pedos gonna pedo
