Romans 3:23

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Exodus chapter 20 verses three through five clearly states that:

³ “You shall have no other gods before Me.

⁴ “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; ⁵ you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. 

Anyone walking into a Catholic church finds that there are statues of Mary and other dead people who have died ages ago. The worshippers kneel in front of them and pray to those dead people. The worshippers or the parishioners are brain washed by the priests that they have no way to communicate with Jesus Christ. Instead they want you to go through one of the saints or Mary. According to Catholicism Mary remained sinless and therefore has the power to plead your case. So are the saints. Some of these have been beatified and recognized as a Blessed. One miracle acquired through the candidate’s intercession is required in addition to recognition of heroic virtue or offering of life. Canonization requires a second miracle after beatification. The pope may waive these requirements. So, pope has the ultimate authority to make someone a saint even though they died hundreds of years ago. What a sad story!

According to the God’s Ten Commandments, the second commandment declares that we are not to have no other gods before God. The third commandment declares that we are not to make carved image of any kind and fourth commandment declares that we are not to bow down or serve them. Every year during the Christmas time the pope carries the statue of baby Jesus. For centuries artists and painters have depicted Lord Jesus Christ as a helpless Baby hanging on to Mary as she holds Him. Other paintings of Jesus holding Mary’s hands as if she is leading Him. All of these paintings show that Jesus is helpless and clueless. This is a complete absurdity. Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is the God of this Universe. He owns everything.

Colossians 1:15-18:

¹⁵ He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. ¹⁶ For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. ¹⁷ And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. ¹⁸ And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

For better understanding Mary was used as a conduit to bring the Son of God into this world. Mary has no power whatsoever. This is the greatest lie that the Catholics are taught. She lived just like any person on earth would have lived, got married, had children and later on she died. The rumors that she went to heaven bodily is untrue.

The most famous lie Vatican practices is that everything they say, use a term called ‘church’. Vatican releases statements saying that the church said this or that …. which absolutely makes no sense. Who is the church? Biblically speaking the church is the body of born again believers. The head of this church is Jesus Christ. So, if I belong to the body of Christ, do I have anything to say? Can my hand speak? Or can my leg decide to do something on its own. The head which is Christ coordinates with my body that is if I allow Christ in my life to take control. But the Catholic church is completely different than the believers church. The body of believers is also called the bride of Christ. As the bride of the Christ, the bride has no power to say anything. Just like our hands and feet, we are to listen to Christ at all times. He controls our lives. The believers anticipate the return of Christ. Not so with the Catholic church. That catholics are controlled by the Vatican elites.

In Genesis chapter 12 verse 1:

Now the Lord had said to Abram:

“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.”

Abraham was called by God from Ur of Chaldeans into a land that God was going to show. Catholics need to leave the erroneous teachings of their church that they have been brain washed with and follow only Christ who is the way, the truth and the life and through Him only one can see the Father.

To be continued …

May we give thanks to God the Father through Jesus Christ for enabling us to understand what it means to seek the glory of God.

In Jesus name. Amen.

Maranatha!
