Why Catholics Need To Find Out Who Their Real Enemies Are
So why do Catholics need to find out who their real enemies are? Because:
If they don’t find out, they will end up like the Jews who stoned the apostle Stephen, thinking they are doing God a favor, while actually attacking God’s true children.
Secondly, because they will end up in Hell for eternity, if they die trusting in the false man-made, man-centered, works-righteousness plan of salvation invented and promoted by the Catholic Church.
Please don’t wait until Judgment Day to find out the truth of this last statement. Read the Bible for yourself, so you can see the truth about salvation. And if you study the New Testament, you will find that very few – if ANY – of the Catholic Church’s rituals and traditions were ever mentioned or practiced by the early Church.
Also, the Bible never mentions the early church having various special roles for Christians that the Catholic Church has among their ranks:
ALL false religions are based on some kind of “works based” religious system, by people who think that a sinner’s own goodness can spare them from the eternal wrath of God.
Such is most definitely NOT the case, otherwise there would have been no need for the Lord Jesus Christ to leave His throne in heaven and come to earth in the form of a man, in order to be slaughtered – as the Lamb of God – to pay for our sins… and we all have MANY, MANY sins… a lifetime full of them, many sins that we don’t even realize are sins, because we really are that sinful – and God really is very holy. If we die without being truly “saved” by God in this lifetime, then on Judgment Day we will have to give an account to God for every sinful thought, word and deed. And by then, it will be too late to seek the Lord for our salvation. And all we will have to look forward to is being cast into the Lake of Fire.
I found out personally about these sobering facts regarding salvation and damnation. God put His messengers in my path to challenge my thinking about what I was taught to believe as a Catholic. First God showed me that being a Catholic was not a ticket to heaven via the so-called “one true Church” as I had been indoctrinated to believe. But rather, I was on the wide road to Hell. He showed me that no church could save me and no amount of good deeds or sacraments could save me. I started reading the Bible, and in particular the book of Revelation that describes the end of the world and the coming kingdom in heaven for true Christians and the coming wrath of God in hell for those who die trusting in their religion and their own goodness. I cried out to God for the true salvation that He alone provides through the Lord Jesus Christ and His merits alone… His all-atoning blood sacrifice on the cross at Calvary. That and that alone is FULL and totally sufficient payment for ANYONE’S sins. AND, nothing else will satisfy God’s extreme requirements – of sinless perfection – for payment of our sins.
How are YOU going to react to this message, the message of TRUE BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY? Are you going to shoot the messenger like those who stoned Stephen? OR… are you going to thank GOD for putting messengers in your life to warn you to flee God’s wrath before it is eternally too late?
Please don’t wait until you get hit by God’s wrath to have a concern for your eternal soul.
Also, keep in mind that MOST people are on the WIDE road to destruction, and yet think they are spiritually safe being among so many lost souls on that same WIDE road.
Hoping or assuming that the author of this article is wrong about Catholicism is a very BAD response to this Gospel message. Yet so many people choose to take the lazy way out, not understanding the peril they are in, trusting in their religion and their goodness as they compare themselves with others. We are to compare ourselves to the perfect Lamb of God, not to other hell-deserving sinners.
Are YOU trusting in your Catholic religion and your good deeds to save you from Hell or are you putting ALL your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His merits ALONE for your salvation?
