Catholicism has everything that a billion sinners think they need to get to heaven
“For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.” Romans 10:3
To any Catholics who may read this article, I hope the information below will shed some light on how your religion is deceiving you, so that you will seek the real Jesus who heads the real Church… while there is still time.
Catholicism’s features that keep their members from leaving include:
- It has lots of members, making them feel comfortable and giving them a false sense of security, while they are yet on their way to hell.
- It has lots of Christian terminology, making them feel like they are true Christians.
- It has lots of man-made heroes (saints and popes) making them proud to be in their religion.
- It has a big book of excuses (catechism) to justify their many unbiblical teachings and practices, with the favorite excuse being “It’s sacred tradition”.
- It has a backdoor to heaven called Purgatory that helps them avoid being overly concerned about hell.
- It has a friendly mother figure (Mary) for those who don’t like a thrice-holy sin-hating righteousness-loving Father God.
- It has its own version of history (such as their fabricated unbroken line of popes) to create a sense of validity to their false claim of being the one true Church.
- It has a vast collection of unverifiable relics that makes their members feel like their religion is not only legitimate, but unique and special.
- It has a plan of salvation that all sinners love, one that makes sinners think they are not totally at God’s mercy and that they can somehow contribute towards their salvation.
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:22-23
So what is the true Church and how do you identify it?
The true Church started by God is NOT a denomination or a non-denomination or any religious institution that you walk into and join by signing some membership agreement. The true Church is a SPIRITUAL entity, the world-wide body of Christians who have been supernaturally regenerated by the Holy Spirit, which is an event that the Bible refers to as the “new birth” or being “born again”. You “join” this Church by invitation from God… when God sends His messengers into your life to preach the Gospel (plan of salvation) to you. The preacher can be a real live person, it can be a radio or TV or Internet preacher, or it can even be a Christian pamphlet – often referred to as a Gospel tract. The preacher can even be the Bible, as you open it and read what it has to say about you and your need for a savior, the only true Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Conclusion:
A billion Catholics chanting “We are the one true Church” will never change the facts… The Catholic Church has a false Christ and a false gospel – false plan of salvation, and they work FULL TIME pointing people AWAY from the true Christ and the true gospel, though they know it not. Very bad! The true plan of salvation is Jesus plus nothing… no sacraments, no rituals, no treasury of merit, no performing of good deeds to try to earn or contribute towards your salvation. The sacrificial death of the Lord Jesus Christ at the cross of Calvary was sufficient payment for all our sins and the ONLY payment that God will accept for anyone’s sins. Even on our best days, God considers us hell-deserving sinners in dire need of a Savior. To think that we can somehow contribute towards our own salvation is to think we are spiritually better than God says we are. God views all our righteousnesses as filthy rags compared to the perfect blood sacrifice offered by Jesus, the Lamb of God, when He freely laid down His life for sinners such as you and I. So, are your sins on Jesus or are they still on YOU?— RM Kane
