Why The Ongoing Reformation Should Also Go Against Anti-Catholic Cults

It's easy to be too focused on Roman Catholicism without considering that every cult has its own set of rivals. Consider the history of religion when cults appear - rival cults also appear. Islam has been rivals with contemporary Judaism and Roman Catholicism. Roman Catholicism also has rivals in the form of anti-Catholic cults. Just because someone speaks against Rome doesn't mean they're automatically saved. Some of the most known critics of Rome like the Members of the Church of God International (MCGI), Seventh Day Adventists (SDA), Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC), Mormons, Christian Science, Charismatics, and the Jehovah's Witnesses but they all teach false plans of salvation. Some of these anti-Catholic cults even outright deny the Deity of Christ such as the INC and the Jehovah's Witnesses. The Mormons also have bizarre teachings that are hardly known by the public today such as Jesus being Satan's half-brother or that God the Father had sex with Mary, Jesus'...

A Biblical Perspective of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines' Selective Outrage

Image
The Roman Catholic institution is really not so full of surprises if you know its history. Recently, the former president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), Archbishop Socrates Villegas, has decided to reveal his outrage over the denial of the ABS-CBN government franchise . Also, Villegas even dares to mention against the Anti-Terrorism Law . Valid concerns should be raised against the Anti-Terrorism Law that it might be misused and abused and any defects concerning it must be addressed. However, it's another thing to want to get rid of a law that would be used to enforce peace and order altogether without trying to fix it first. Villegas also reveals his uttermost hypocrisy by talking about peace and non-violence never mind the history of the Vatican. Is the Vatican that desperate to cover up its history when all the scandals are very well-documented already? What's the issue with Villegas and the CBCP? It's not that he has no right to f...

Judaism is Satanic, Jesus is the Only Way to God the Father

The Middle East is really indeed a war zone where countless people go to Hell daily. I considered the pride in the Middle East. There is also the battle between the followers of Judaism (seldomly called Jews in the religious sense) and Muslims. As Passover is about to end tomorrow - it would be a good issue to address that both Islam and Judaism are just as satanic as each other. Got Questions has this to say about Judaism: So, what is it that Jews believe, and what are the basic precepts of Judaism? There are five main forms or sects of Judaism in the world today. They are Orthodox, Conservative, Reformed, Reconstructionist, and Humanistic. The beliefs and requirements in each group differ dramatically; however, here's a list of the traditional beliefs of Judaism would include the following: God is the creator of all that exists; He is one, incorporeal (without a body), and He alone is to be worshiped as absolute ruler of the universe. The first five books of the Hebrew ...

Benjamin Netanyahu Has to be a Fool if He Doesn't Believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah

Image
Let's just face it that Israel is one of the biggest trouble spots in the world. The only real reason why that it's still standing is that God is in control. Try to blow up Israel and you're definitely facing against God. Unfortunately, history has well-documented the hardhead behavior of the Jewish people. How often are the Jewish people still looking for their Messiah when the Lord Jesus has already arrived more than 2,000 years ago? Jesus is still willing to forgive the Jews. Some people who got converted in Acts 2 were also part of the howling mob that wanted the Lord Jesus crucified. God is still offering the same forgiveness to both Jew and Gentile alike! Benjamin Netanyahu had mentioned that Israel will defeat Coronavirus with God's help. The problem is this guy isn't saved. A lot of Jews today aren't saved. Romans 10:1-3 has Paul expressing his sorrows that the Jewish people are still ignorant of God's righteousness. The Jews until today are no dif...

Franklin Graham Hypocritically Speaks Against LGBT While He Supports the Vatican

Image
It's really disheartening that I used to support the late Billy Graham back when I was saved. What I didn't realize that the Grahams themselves were involved in ecumenism. One of the reasons why I stopped watching the Trinity Broadcasting Network was their sinful compromise with Rome. Many times, both father and son Billy Graham and Franklin Graham have guilt-induced Christians either directly or indirectly to have an unequal yoke with Rome. There were times I thought Rome could be reformed but it couldn't. I have no reason to believe the Roman Catholic institution is Christian yet I was guilt-induced many times to think it was. However, Roman Catholics still trust God plus their works while born again Christians trust God's plan alone resulting in good works. It's no surprise that according to Lifesite News -  Franklin Graham got barred from the third UK Stadium . Before anybody claps their hands for joy and say, "Blessed are those persecuted for the sake ...

Reflections from the Canticle of Mary

It's really sad how born again Christians are termed as Mary haters. I don't hate Mary as the Papists falsely accuse me of. Rather, I hate the wrong doctrines of Mary. I was reading through Matthew and Luke (due to the Christmas season) and decided to meditate upon the Canticle of Mary. The annunciation is a very important event. It would be that time when the eternal Son of God would finally be incarnated in His human form. Luke 1:46-55  And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour . 48 For he hath regarded the low estate of His handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49 For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is His name. 50 And His mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. 51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them ...

Why The Reformation Online Website Isn't Good Theology

It's Reformation month and I think one of the best websites to be careful about (aside from David J. Stewart's "Jesus-is-Savior") is "Reformation Online" - a website managed by Patrick Scrivener . Something's really not right especially if its claims are too good to be true. If you entered the index page - you may notice the following words: YOU ARE BLESSED FOR VISITING THE REFORMATION ONLINE— THE MOST TIMELY, TRUTHFUL, AND FEARLESS SITE ON THE INTERNET ! Scrivener of Reformation Online wants you to believe or so it seems. While the site does contain some truth (such as "Jesus-is-Savior") - it does contain some dangerous misinformation that it wants to present as truthful. How does Reformation Online stand as the "most timely and truthful" site on the Internet? Is it real or is it just false advertising ? It's a common tactic by businessmen to gain more sales even when their claims get disproven by reality. Just remember tha...

Fixating on 9/11 Conspiracy Theories Won't Be Helpful in Winning Muslims to Jesus Christ

I don't want to deny that Islam had something to do with the 9/11 attacks which happened last 2001. The very act of the Twin Towers falling down is a great act of terrorism. It was simply another chapter of the bitter cycle of revenge. The U.S. invaded the Middle East, the Middle East terrorists attack the U.S. then we have former U.S. President George W. Bush who foolishly ransacked Iraq that he deserved the shoe thrown at him. The cycle of hatred continues because of the 9/11 fixation. The average Muslim today may not even know how to fire a gun or throw a grenade. They may not even be part of Islamic terrorist groups like the Al Qaida, the recent ISIS, or the Abu Sayyaf. They may not even be willing to blow themselves up. Some Muslims even renounced the 9/11 attacks as un-Islamic. Take a look at the average Muslim today in non-Islamic states. Go to Indonesia and Malaysia and you still find freedom of religion unlike in the Islamic states. Muslims in non-predominantly Muslim...

The Foolishness of Celebrating the Chinese Ghost Month

Well, it's the Chinese Ghost Month according to the 1st day of the seventh lunar month - with the 15th day of said lunar month to be the Chinese Ghost Festival. Here is what the Chinese Fortune Calendar website says about the said festival: The Ghost Month is the seventh lunar month of Chinese Lunar Calendar. The 15th lunar day of the 7th lunar month is the Chinese Ghost Festival. The Chinese formal name of the Ghost Festival is Chung-Yuan . The first lunar day of 7th lunar month is on August 1, 2019. August 15, 2019 is the 15th lunar day, which is the Chinese Ghost Festival. The first lunar day of 8th lunar month is on August 30, 2030. Therefore, the Ghost Month is from August 1 to August 29 in the China time zone.  Many Chinese families have both Buddhism and Taoism religions. The spirits jailed in the Hell are called ghosts. The folklore says the ghosts have one-month parole and will travel to the towns in the 7th lunar month every year. People have better to feast them. P...

Some Unsaved Indians Ingest Cow Body Waste Believing It's Good for Them When It Really Isn't

I'm amazed at how stupid people can be without Christ. Whether it'd be pro-homosexuality people (especially atheists) who see nothing wrong with the disgusting activities same-sex couples do or even ingesting body waste believing they are supposedly beneficial. Truth is, ingesting body waste is not beneficial. If it were then they need to tell me why would any good doctor have a separate waste disposal system for body waste, treating them as infectious material? Now, it's no surprise when I heard that some Indian Hindus have gone so far as to even drink cow's urine and eat cow's dung or use them as supposed "miracle substances" - which is just far more disgusting. Hinduism has so many branches because there are so many accounts regarding the gods and goddesses. Even the gender of one particular character can vary from sect to sect - which makes it all together very confusing . It's because Babylon Religion is nothing more than conflicting stories. Wh...

Many Jewish People Still Reject Jesus as Their Passover Lamb

The New Testament fulfills the Old Testament! All the prophecies concerning Jesus are already given out. They can check all the Old Testament Scriptures to see that Jesus indeed fulfilled it all in the New Testament. They have been reading all of the Old Testament throughout their lives and guess what - they still have not gotten it that Jesus is the Passover Lamb! It's really so sad that today is Good Friday (and the first Day of Passover 2019) but Jews still continue celebrating Passover hoping for the Messiah to arrive - when He has already arrived! The worst part is that when they have a messiah that they think that they are looking for - they can only expect to be very disappointed when the Antichrist arrives and desecrates the Third Temple. He will be like a friend to them but he like Judas Iscariot will betray them! The Old Testament does point to Jesus whether they like it or not. Genesis 3:15 and Isaiah 7:14 point to the virgin birth. To be a virgin means one who hasn...

The Stupidity and Superstition of "Blessed Palm Leaves"

Image
Palm Sunday is today and it would be best to address the stupidity of "blessed palms". I remembered I was a former Roman Catholic and I tore apart some "blessed palms" and got spanked for it, I was made to confess to the priest who blessed it and was told to do penance. I remembered how some people were scolded for accidentally burning the "blessed palms". Today is the commemoration of the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem. It was also the very arrival of the Passover lamb which would be inspected for four days before it would be slaughtered as an unblemished sacrifice. Remember that Lent is to celebrate what was already done and not something that's repeatedly done. So what's the stupidity behind the "blessed" palms? We have to understand these are but palm leaves and some of them are formed as crosses. The priest who supposedly has the power to "save souls" now blesses them. Such power has left many ignorant Roman Catholics i...

The Terrorist Attack Against Mosques in New Zealand is No Better than Islamic Terrorism

Image
There is nothing good about what happened in Christchurch, New Zealand a few days ago. While Islam is indeed an evil religion but we do have to realize these things about Islam: The average Muslim today (especially those living in non-Muslim or non-Islamic state countries) have no idea that they belong to a death cult. They may not even have the idea that Muhammad was actually a terrorist or want them to murder Christians. They may not even have an idea that the Koran is actually a violent book. Jesus had taught Christians a very different approach on how to love your enemies in Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:27-25.  Ephesians 6:12 says that the Christian's daily war isn't against flesh and blood but the demonic forces of Satan. The war against Islam is a spiritual warfare to warn Muslims about Hell and tell them that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Some of the Muslims that suffered the trauma or even died without Christ that day are ac...

The Roman Catholic Confessional's Hypocrisy

Image
Here's a funny cartoon of that shows the reality of the Vatican and it's something that's well-hidden from the average Roman Catholic today. The centuries worth of violent history of the Vatican isn't the only one hidden but also the priestly scandals. If Roman Catholics knew the truth then it would be detrimental, right? Then the same can also go because of the confessionals. I'm writing this one because today is Ash Wednesday and I remembered I once ate meat on that day and I was required to go to the confessional - back when I was still a Roman Catholic! How hypocritical is the confessional? Although it's not directly states that it's a license to sin but it's becoming a license to sin. I remembered the first time I went to confession as a Roman Catholic for my first communion. I remembered after saying the Act of Contrition - the priest asked me to pray X Our Fathers and Y Hail Marys. I soon prayed them and believed I was forgiven. Then it came i...

Don't Criticize the Roman Catholic Priests' Sexual Immortality While Covering Up For Sexually Immoral Baptist and Protestant Pastors

It can't be denied that there's really sex, shame and the Roman Catholic Church as a long topic. I could remember how there's that frequently spelled out lie that the scandals of the Vatican are but very minimal in contrast to the Protestant or Baptist circles. All the sins and scandals of the Roman Catholic institution have been swept under the rug. One of the reasons why I lost faith in the Roman Catholic system is the rampant immorality. Baptist churches have had a history where they have been usually serious about disciplining and exposing pastors who fall into sin. Yet, not all Baptist churches do so which is really a sad fact. I really remembered how I used to admire Jack Hyles and once thought that all the assaults against him were just made-up fabrications. It's normal for the children of God to get phony accusations when they are faithful. Yet, it turns out that there are Baptist (and other Evangelical or Protestant churches) who are guilty of covering up sex...

The Confused Minds of Chinese Syncretists

Image
The Chinese New Year is approaching and while there's nothing inherently wrong with celebrating it (just get away from the pagan mumbo-jumbo) - I felt like it's best to talk about the problem of Chinese syncretists and how confused they are. Syncretism is defined as the amalgamation or attempted amalgamation of different religions, cultures or schools of thought. Others may define it as blending Christian and pagan beliefs. So what's with Chinese syncretism? I don't find it surprising that you have Chinese Roman Catholics, Buddhists or Taoists who aren't exactly solid in their adherence to one of these religions. It's really disturbing how many of them may go to the Roman Catholic masses during the morning and they would pray and offer incense to other false gods in a Buddhist and/or Taoist temple. A Chinese Buddhist or Taoist may also be offering incense to the idols of Roman Catholicism or go to other temples. A Chinese Taoist may be praying in a Buddhist ...
