New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible

Thomas Nelson Publishers 1990 edition

Isaiah 30:1: Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin.

I want to make something very clear at the beginning of this document. In this document I am not speaking against the Catholic people – but am only speaking against the false belief of Catholicism, or more specifically Roman Catholicism. In this document I speak warning to the Roman Catholic priests and leaders! I speak what God has told me to speak! Jeremiah 1:17-19: Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land. And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

Goddess worship is not a new concept. Ashtaroth was the oldest mentioned female goddess (image) of reverence in the Bible. Groves (Asherahs) were the carved images of the false goddess Ashtaroth (or Astarte). The word ‘Asherah’ is from the root ‘Ashar’; to be straight, erect, or upright. The Hebrew word for ‘grove’ is “asheyrah, ash-ay-raw’; …Asherah (or Astarte) a Phoenician goddess, or image of the same”. Dake Annotated Reference Bible OKJ version (copyright 1963 by, 1991 Finis Jennings Dake) commentary says; “the word comes from the root ashar, to be straight, upright, erect”. Leviticus 26:1: Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 4:16: Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female. II Kings 21:7: And he set a graven image of the grove (a carved image of Asherah; the Canaanite goddess) that he had made in the house, of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever. The scriptural parenthesis above in II Kings 21:7 was quoted from a commentary in the Thomas Nelson OKJ reference Bible © 1989. Also in this same Bible is yet another scriptural example of a grove, I Kings 15:13, along with a comment concerning the ‘obscene’ sexual meaning behind this image. Nelson’s Bible commentary calls the particular idol in this verse “an obscene image of Asherah”. I Kings 15:13: And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron. Asherah was the pagan grove!

No matter what the name (male or female) images of reverence are all the same. Some may have called their female graven images Asherah or Astarte; or to the Greeks they were Aphrodite; or to the ancient Romans they were Venus, and now to their Roman counterpart they are called Mary – the Roman Catholic queen of heaven! The dangers of worshipping Mary, their queen of heaven, is found in Jeremiah 44:18: But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. The real Mary was never a god; and just like us her body will not be resurrected until the trumpet sounds (I Thessalonians 4:16-17). The Bible called her blessed, but it did not call her savior! Even Mary her self knew this! Luke 1: 46-47: And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Mary is not the mediator between God and man – there is only One who retains this title and His name is Jesus Christ – and He is not a picture or a statue! I Timothy 2:5-6: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Many in Roman Catholic belief are honoring or reverencing Mary – when it was not Mary that the wise men fell down to and worshipped – it was Jesus! Matthew 2:11: And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

          The following portion of scripture is a perfect representation of the Roman Catholic Church. Ezekiel 8:1-18: And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me. Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber. And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain. Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose. Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

By breaking down the underlined portions of scripture in the previous paragraph we see the comparison to the Roman Catholic Church. As it was with this scripture, in the Roman Catholic Church there is an image of jealousy (they call it Mary); there is an abominable beast which is the image of a gargoyle on many of the old Roman Catholic Cathedrals; there is a thick cloud of incense coming out of their censers; they have many chambers of imagery portraying their many different saints; they sin in the dark and say the Lord does not see them; women weep for Tammuz who is represented by the statue they call Jesus; and they turn their face towards the sun (represented by their wafer and obelisk). More about the obelisk in my document on ‘Freemasonry and the Washington monument’. It tells of the obelisks connection with not only sun worship but with phallus worship. Jeremiah 32:33-34: And they have turned unto me the back and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction. But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

The Roman Catholic Church is nothing more than a house of idolatry that pays tribute to the sun – sun god. Jeremiah 43:13: He shall break also the images of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire. The Hebrew word for ‘Beth-shemesh’ in Jeremiah 43:13 is “Beyth Shemesh, bayth sheh’-mesh; …house of (the) sun”. Whether male or female their idolatrous images are all abominations – and some of their abominations point directly towards Sun Worship! If you do not believe it look at their Monstrance (sun burst) which holds their sacred wafer! Their wafer (used for their eucharist) represents a sun disc. This is revealed by its name; it is called a ‘host’, and it represents sun worship. Deuteronomy 4:19: And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. Acts 7:41-42: And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets…The Greek word for ‘host’ in Acts 7:42-43 is “stratia, strat-ee’-ah; …the angels, the celestial luminaries”. The celestial luminaries are the sun, moon, and stars. Look at the following scripture about the idolatrous altars and pagan images that were set up to the host of heaven (celestial luminaries) in the house of the Lord by Manasseh. II Kings 21:1-7 and II Chronicles 33:1-7: Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem: But did that which was evil to the sight of the Lord, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger. And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever. In this scripture Manasseh worshipped all the host of heaven. Manasseh even set up an altar for them in the two courts of the house of the Lord – the same way the obelisk is in the court at St. Peter’s square (Vatican City) also symbolizing sun worship, or what the Bible calls worship of the host of heaven (sun, moon, and stars). A ‘court’ is an open space within walls: an open space surrounded by buildings and walls, or a roofless area within a building. Encarta ® World English Dictionary. II Kings 21:1-7 and II Chronicles 33:1-7 above sound just like what the Roman Catholic Church is doing – with all their idols, their necromancy (witchcraft), their child abuse, and their sun worship. More on their necromancy (their praying to dead saints) in this document; also see my document about ‘necromancy’.

The Roman Catholic host of heaven (their communion bread) is a replica of the Egyptian sun disc, which they used for sun worship. The Pope’s hat (from the front view) even looks like the Egyptian Pharaohs’ hat! Joshua 24:14-15: Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Colossians 2:8: Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Matthew 15:3, 9: But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Mark 7:7-9, 13: Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which he have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

It is certainly no coincidence that the Roman Catholic wafer is called a ‘host’ – and that the Egyptians worshipped this same host (sun disc). Today the Roman Catholic Church worship their host (their bread) – but God is the Lord of hosts, and He is the one who deserves our worship! Malachi 3:7-9: Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts…

In the Roman Catholic Church their male and female images all stand together. The Bible also reveals to us that the Asherahs (groves) and the Baal’s were also set up together. For more on the ‘Asherah’ and the different meanings of ‘Baal’ see my documents on them. Together or separate these images are the root of sexual perversion. According to The Westminster Dictionary of the Bible, Copyright, 1944, By The Westminster Press (page 53); “the worship of Baal was accompanied with lascivious rites”. The American Heritage Dictionary (Second College Edition) defines ‘lascivious’ as: “Of or characterized by lust; lewd. Exciting sexual desires”. I Kings 14:23-24: For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. Genesis 13:13: But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly. I Kings 15:11-12: And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. Sodomites were in the land and so by this we can tell there was not only Asherah (grove) worship but also Baal worship. Scripture is proof that male and female idolatry survived together. Both were connected to sexual perversion, and part of this perversion included homosexuality (sodomy). The Hebrew word for ‘sodomite’ is “qadesh, kaw-dashe’; …a (male) devotee (by prostitution) to licentious idolatry… unclean”. II Kings 23:7: And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the grove. Both Asa in I Kings 15:11-12 and Josiah in II Kings Chapters 22 & 23 removed all the images/idols, and took the sodomites out of the land!

Baal worship and worship of the grove (Asherah) were often accompanied by many sexually perverted acts. The ritual and sexual practices that went along with the worship of these pagan images also included the practice of homosexuality (sodomy). I Corinthians 6:9: Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. The Greek word for ‘effeminate’ in I Corinthians 6:9 is “malakos, mal-ak-os’; of uncertain affection; soft, i.e. fine (clothing); fig. a catamite. A catamite is a pedophile! The Encarta Dictionary definition of a ‘catamite’ is: “young partner of gay man; a boy kept by a man for sexual intercourse”. The Greek word for ‘abusers’ in I Corinthians 6:9 is “arsenokoites, ar-sen-ok-oy’-tace; …a sodomite… abuser of (that defile) self with mankind”. Leviticus 18:22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, and with womankind: it is abomination. Do not lie with your own kind (gender). This means homosexuality! Leviticus 20:13: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Also see Romans 1:21-27 it too speaks about the abomination of homosexuality, and its connection to idolatrous images.

The Roman Catholic Churches modern images of Baal and Asherah (which they call Mary, saints, and even Jesus) are all the same. These idolatrous images of reverence all have the same sexual connotation! This is proven by the Roman Catholic priest’s sexual abuse (sodomy) of young children! Luke 12:2: For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Numbers 32:23: But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out. Matthew 18:6: But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. II Kings 23:5: And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven. The sins of the Roman Catholic priests’ are the visible proof of the evil associated with all the pagan imagery in their church. These priests are manifesting the evil (the evil spirits of homosexuality and perversion) that are behind their pagan imagery.

Homosexuality and child molestation are running rampant throughout the Roman Catholic Church and their paintings tell the story. On the Sistine Chapel they portray bare bottomed winged infants and a man with his genitals exposed. Do I have to spell it out for you? They also have an obelisk [phallus] at the Vatican standing in the center of St. Peter’s Square, Vatican City. Again, for even more information on obelisks and the phallic symbolism of the obelisk see my document on ‘Freemasonry and the Washington monument’. The obelisk is the very epitome of phallus worship and homosexuality – and this is one reason why it is running rampant in the Roman Catholic Church, and the male priests are molesting little boys! Extra note: It is no coincidence that those who practice homosexuality are many times drawn to the Roman Catholic décor that was painted by Michelangelo – even when they them self are not of the Roman Catholic faith. Not to say all who practice homosexuality are child predators, but homosexuality in itself is an abomination and this abomination is made manifest in Michelangelo’s paintings – which are loved and revered by the Roman Catholic Church!

In the Roman Catholic Church they have many Baal images and these images represent every bondage in the church today. Again, see my document on ‘Baal’ for the different meanings these images represent. It is not only the Roman Catholic Church that is experiencing this evil bondage, but our Protestant churches also are experiencing the same evil bondage. Why? The answer is simple. Our pagan images of reverence! In a little book called "Catholicism against itself"; written by O.C. Lambert and printed in 1963 (costing 60 cents at the time) page 12 states: "Whereas, during the days of pagan Rome the Emperor was the Pontifex Maximus of Paganism, Constantine, after embracing nominal Christianity, retained the title. In the days of pagan Rome, the Emperor was the protector of the state religion, and he began to assume the same role with reference to Christianity. Paganism was now persecuted. Christianity now became the state religion. Heathens were driven from their magnificent temples and these were given to the Christians. These temples were filled with beautiful sculpture, which they hesitated to discard, so the names of the idols were changed and they began to be venerated as the Virgin Mary and the various saints”. Ezekiel 16:17-18: Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them, And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredest them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them. Psalm 115:4-8: Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. Psalm 135:14-18: For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they but they see not; They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them. Jeremiah 10:14-15: Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

What about the obelisk at the Vatican and the phallus worship it represents. Do you see now why the priests are caught up in the sin of homosexuality! As I stated previously is not the only phallus worship that the obelisk represents; it also represents sun worship. This we know by the sacred image represented in the Roman Catholic Church. Their cherished monstrance and sun disc! Today many people are concerned about the Muslim religion (as well they should be). But, the Bible warns us about the many antichrists that are already in the world who do not confess Jesus Christ. I John 4:1-3: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Those who do not confess Jesus Christ (like the Muslims) are easy for any Christian to spot. However, what about those who say they are followers of Christ but are not following God’s Word – like the Roman Catholic Church. The statue they have does not represent Jesus, nor can any statue or picture represent Him! Did you know that the statues we now call Jesus were made from the exact facial measurements and features of the mythological Zeus statues! Check for yourself and you will see that the statues of Zeus look exactly like the statues we now call Jesus. I first discovered this while watching the History Channel, October 5, 2002. Some historians have concluded that the Christian statues of Jesus’ face were modeled after the false god Zeus! These statues do not represent Jesus, they represent a false Jesus – another Jesus. II Corinthians 11:4: For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. New Living translations reads: You seem to believe whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach about a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed. Satan’s religion; or more precisely, Satan’s religious leaders will not be showing themselves as wolves – but will be disguised in sheep’s clothing! Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Christians are not going to be deceived by Satan’s Muslim religion or any other religion that does not claim Jesus as their savior. However, they will follow a religion like the Roman Catholic Religion that appears to follow Jesus Christ – but blindly disobeys God’s Word by making a false image of God’s Son, and even puts a statue of Mary with it!

The Roman Catholic Church is symbolized by their sun disc and the Muslim religion is symbolized by their image of the moon (crescent). In scripture it says that the moon is the lesser light, and the sun the greater. Genesis 1:16-19: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. If the Roman Catholic Church represents sun worship and the Muslim religion represents moon worship, which do you think is a greater danger? Though God did create the real sun and moon – it is man who disobeyed God’s Word, and being directed by Satan, man has created false replicas of God’s original creations. They have tried to use these false replicas by claiming they have spiritual significance in God’s Kingdom. Which is a lie!

Extra note: Genesis mentions a light that had nothing to do with the sun or moon. Genesis 1:3-5: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. This light was there on the first day, but the sun and moon were not yet created. The sun and moon were not created until the fourth day. Genesis 1:16-19: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. Isn’t it amazing that God does not even need the sun to make daytime!

          We must be careful as Christians not to make man-made images of God’s original creations and then try and use them as objects of reverence. This includes even trying to make an image of God – or His Son Jesus Christ. Isaiah 40:18-25: To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: That bringeth the princes to nothing: he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. Psalm 89:6: For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord? Something many Christians do not know is that in voodoo they use Roman Catholic icons, and rituals, as part of their black magic. Voodoo is a mixture of African animism and Catholicism. Even more proof these supposedly Christian images/icons are not Godly!

          The Roman Catholic Church does many things that are not scriptural yet many of their followers unknowingly continue to practice this false religion. It is probably because many of these followers read their catechism and not their Bible! Scripture warns against following the rituals of man’s traditions, but many do not heed this warning. For instance, the dangerous Roman Catholic ritual of blood worship! They completely take the following scripture out of context. John 6:54-56: Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. Jesus was not referring to drinking his actual blood! He was talking about the symbolic drinking of the fruit of the vine – fruit juice. Important: see my document on ‘drinking and intoxication’. During communion Jesus and his followers drank fruit juice as symbolism of Jesus’ death by the shedding of His blood on the cross. They did not drink His actual blood. Matthew 26:29: But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. We are supposed to have communion in remembrance of Jesus shedding his blood for our sins. I Corinthians 11:24-25: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. The communion is symbolic of the blood and body of Jesus Christ – yet the Roman Catholic Church teaches that the cup actually turns into Jesus’ blood, and the wafer ‘host’ his actual body. This is a false and dangerous ritual! In Satan worship they drink actual blood and participate in cannibalism. The Bible warns against the practice of drinking actual blood. Leviticus 17:10, 14: And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

          Another dangerous thing about the Roman Catholic communion is that they actually use fermented drink. Again, see my document on ‘drinking and intoxication’. Isaiah 28:7-8: But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean…. Hebrews 9:10: Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. Psalm 16:4: Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. Jeremiah 19:13: And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods. Not only are the Roman Catholic priests sinning but they are causing others to sin too. They are supposed to be leading people to heaven but are leading many towards destruction and ritual alcoholism. If you have been, or are, involved with the Roman Catholic Church (or any of their ritualism) I have prayers of deliverance towards the end of this document.

          What about the Roman Catholic confessional? They confess their sins to a mere man. Hebrews 7:27: Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. Hebrews 9:28: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Hebrews 10:10: By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Hebrews 10:11: And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. I Timothy 2:5: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Some after their confession are told to chant hail Mary while counting their rosary beads. Did you know that even some Buddha statues have rosary beads! Though theirs do not have the idol on the cross. People are following the Roman Catholic rituals and practices, not even realizing what they are actually participating in! Colossians 2:8: Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Matthew 15:3, 9: But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Mark 7:7-9, 13: Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

          Another Roman Catholic practice is the practice of necromancy? They teach their followers to pray to statues that represent dead saints. This is spiritually dangerous! The Bible specifically forbids praying to the dead (necromancy). Deuteronomy 18:10-12: There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before you. Not only does the Roman Catholic Church teach their followers to pray to the dead – but they teach them to light candles to them. Prayer rituals with candle or incense is strange fire. Leviticus 10:1-2: And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

Though scripture forbids necromancy there is a very well known television evangelist who goes to the cemetery to pray, and will spend hours at the grave of his Christian mentor. He believes this grave carries an anointing – but He is deceived. He tries to justify his regular prayer visits using scripture in II Kings 13:21 about a dead man who was brought back to life after he was cast into Elisha’s tomb. In this portion of scripture the men carrying the dead man to his burial place were frightened by another group of men, whom they thought would harm them, so they hastily threw the dead man into Elisha’s tomb. The dead man was brought back to life. This evangelist believes he too can receive a blessing by visiting his Christian mentor’s gravesite, which he thinks is anointed, because of what happened at Elisha’s tomb. However, the man who was cast into the sepulcher of Elisha was not coming for a prayer visit – the man was dead. Any person who is alive that goes to a grave to pray with the dead believing it to be some spiritual act of God is deceived. The dead man in II Kings 13:21 who was cast into Elisha’s sepulcher was not coming there to pray, he was coming there to stay! It was God’s decision to raise him from the dead. Nowhere in scripture does God tell His people to go and hang out at cemeteries to pray, or to bring food to the dead. We are not supposed to pray, or try and communicate in any way, with the dead. The only one we are to pray to is Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God; who is no longer dead, but is alive! Luke 24:1-7: NOW upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee. Saying, the Son of man must be delivered unto the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

          People ignorantly participate in necromancy by trying to contact the dead, when necromancy is (and always has been) a practice the Bible warns against. 18:10-12: There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before you.   Isaiah 8:19: And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead. Isaiah 8:19 New Living Translation reads: So why are you trying to find out the future by consulting mediums and psychics? Do not listen to their whisperings and mutterings. Can the living find out the future from the dead? Why not ask your God? People are praying to statues and images of what they believe represent Mary, Jesus, saints, and angels. This is necromancy and idolatry! Ezekiel 8:12: Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. Necromancy and idolatry are both forbidden by God! Deuteronomy 18:10-12: There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before you. Ephesians 5:5: For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Revelation 21:8: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. The real Jesus Christ (not a statue or picture) is the only one we are to pray to. He is the Only One who died for us yet is alive!

Another false practice of the Roman Catholic Church is their teaching on baptism. They teach baby baptism, and sprinkling – when neither baby baptism nor sprinkling are scriptural. Sprinkling was done as a ritual act of cleansing in the Old Testament, it was not for baptism (Numbers 8:7; Leviticus 14:51, 42; Hebrews 10:22). Baptism is a symbol of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Colossians 2:12: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. Romans 6:3-4: Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

In Matthew it says that Jesus came ‘up out of the water’. Matthew 3:16: And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him.   TRUE BAPTISM IS TOTAL SUBMERSION IN WATER, NOT SPRINKLING. The New Testament Greek translation for ‘baptize’ is “baptizo, bap-tid’-zo; to make overwhelmed (i.e. fully wet)”. The Greek word “bapto, bap’-to; …to overwhelm, i.e. cover wholly with a fluid… dip”. To baptize means fully wet; NOT sprinkled. To sprinkle a person’s head and call it baptism is unscriptural and is spiritually dangerous. It is dangerous to their mind. A person who has been sprinkled opens a door in their mind to Satan and to his evil suggestions. Many people who are experiencing unrelenting trouble in their mind will find out that they were sprinkled when they were a baby – and some even as an adult. Extra note: the false practice of lent is also causing trouble in the person’s mind who practices it, because it too is not scriptural. The unscriptural placing of ashes on one’s forehead is opening their mind (frontal lobe) spiritually to confusion. It is marking them as one of Satan’s victims! It has the same affect as those from India who walk around with the dot on their forehead. It opens what is referred to as their spiritual third eye. However, it is really opening their mind up to Satan’s spiritual realm of deception.

It is not only the Roman Catholic Church that sprinkles, but there are Protestant churches that also practice sprinkling and baby baptism. If you have been sprinkled in the Roman Catholic Church or any other church please say the prayer for baptism towards the end of this document! If you have been having trouble in your mind there is also a prayer at the end of this document that will help you; you can see my document on ‘familiar spirits’ it too contains prayers.

The Roman Catholic Church is passing the children through the pagan fire by baptizing them as babies in a church that is filled with false gods. They are baptizing children in dedication to these pagan gods, or should I say they are dedicating them to the familiar spirits behind these false images. And this is one reason why so many are having trouble later in life! But, the true Jesus (the one who was not made by human hands) can and will set them free!

The Roman Catholic Church may try and validate baby baptism using the following scripture where Mary and Joseph took baby Jesus to present Him to the Lord (dedicate Him). Luke 2:22-30: And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation. Mary and Joseph did not go there to baptize Jesus! It says nothing about Jesus being baptized or more important sprinkled. Jesus was not baptized until he was a grown man – and even then He was totally submersed in water. It is scriptural to dedicate your children to the Lord but it is not scriptural to baptize them. And you certainly should not present them to idols or dead saints!

Another practice that is associated with the Roman Catholic Church is exorcism. Exorcism is not God’s true deliverance. The word exorcist in the Greek means conjurer. God’s true followers cast demons out – they do not conjure them up! Acts 19:11-16: And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. The Greek word for exorcists in Acts 19:16 is “exorkistes, ex-or-kis-tace; one that binds by oath (or spell), i.e. (by impl.) an exorcist (conjurer)”. Notice in this scripture that the evil spirit did not recognize the seven sons of Sceva as followers of Jesus – because they weren’t. Yet they were trying to cast out demons! Scripture says that the evil spirit leaped on the seven sons of Sceva and prevailed against them. Causing them to flee naked and wounded! Just as the evil spirits did not recognize the seven sons of Sceva as followers of Jesus Christ – they do not recognize the Roman Catholic Church, or their rituals of exorcism. They do not recognize the Roman Catholic Church or its leaders as true followers of God. Evil spirits know that true followers of God do not have idols and images, they do not use holy water, crucifix’s, or worship Mary. They also know that true followers of God do not conjure up evil spirits or cast spells – as the Greek says the word exorcist means. The Roman Catholic priests do not even know the Bible! They do not know that the exorcists in the Bible were not true follows of Jesus Christ.

Something else the Roman Catholic Church believes and teaches is purgatory. They believe there is a holding place for people who have passed away and that while they are in the holding place they are given another chance for repentance and salvation. When scripture says in Hebrews 9:27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.   We will all stand before God one day and will be judged, some will go to heaven; and some to hell. Matthew 25:41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. We cannot make it right with the Lord after we die.

The Bible speaks of a place called Abraham’s bosom. It was the place where Lazarus went and was comforted after he died – the rich man also died, but he went to hell and was tormented. Being in hell the rich man could see Lazarus, but there was a great gulf fix between them. They could not pass from one place to the other. Luke 16:19-31: There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Perhaps this is what the Roman Catholic Church believes to be purgatory. However, the place the Bible calls Abraham’s bosom was symbolic of a place that those who died, who loved God, went to before Jesus came and died for their sins. It was a place they stayed until after Jesus’ resurrection. It was after the resurrection that Jesus took the keys to death, hell, and the grave away from Satan. Revelation 1:18: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Hebrews 2:14: Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Before Jesus died Abraham’s bosom was a safe place, though it was a sort of extension of hell. This is why the rich man who went to hell could see Lazarus afar off. It was after Jesus took the keys back from Satan that he (Jesus) took God’s people out of this place referred to as Abraham’s bosom – then hell was enlarged, and this place became a part of hell. Isaiah 5:14: Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. There was no more need for this place called Abraham’s bosom. Now those who die, who love God, rest in the arms of Jesus in Heaven. There is no place called purgatory and there never was. When you die your chances are over. The priest can’t pray you into heaven – or give you last rights after you are dead. Your loved ones cannot give the priest money to redeem you. Psalm 49:6-7: They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him. Purgatory is just another false and extremely dangerous belief of the Roman Catholic Church. Additional note: Abraham’s bosom is probably the same place that Job 1:6; 2:1 talks about when it says that the ‘sons of God’ presented themselves before the Lord. These sons of God were not angels but were the people who died that loved God, before Jesus Christ had died for their sins. That is why it says in Job that Satan too was there. Abraham’s bosom was near hell. Job 1:6-7: Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Job 2:1-2: Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. See my document on ‘Genesis Chapter 6’ concerning information about the ‘sons of God’ referred to in the Bible under Genesis Chapter 6. You will see that those too were not angels!

The Roman Catholic Church is full of idolatry, witchcraft, and all sorts of abominable beliefs – yet sadly their congregation cannot see it! They pray to, and kiss the feet of, their idols. But sadly, just as in the following scripture, they are deceived! Hosea 13:2: And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves. Idolatry is an abomination to the Lord. There is scripture after scripture confirming this – the Roman Catholic Church and other churches who have the same abominable imagery have no defense against scripture! Deuteronomy 17:2-3: If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the Lord thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the Lord thy God, in transgressing his covenant, And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded. II Kings 17:16: And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. Deuteronomy 27:15: Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. Deuteronomy 4:16-19: Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. New Living Translation for Deuteronomy 4:16 reads: So do not corrupt yourselves by making a physical image in any form – whether of a man or a woman. The Hebrew word for ‘similitude’ in Deuteronomy 4:16 (OKJV) is “tem-oo-naw’; …something portioned (i.e. fashioned) out, as a shape…image, likeness”. Jeremiah 19:13: And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods. Zephaniah 1:5: And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the Lord, and that swear by Malcham. Acts 7:43: Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. In Deuteronomy 4:19; Deuteronomy 17:2-3; II Kings 17:16; Jeremiah 19:13; Zephaniah 1:5; Acts 7:43; and in Acts 7:42 the Greek word for ‘host’ is “stratia, strat-ee’-ah; …the angels, the celestial luminaries”. The celestial luminaries are the sun, moon, and stars. Numbers 33:52: Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places. The Hebrew word for ‘pictures’ in Numbers 33:52 is “maskiyth, mash-ieeth’; a figure (carved on stone, the wall, or any object); fig. imagination, conceit, image (ry), picture”. I Chronicles 16:26 and Psalm 96:5: For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. Isaiah 44:13: The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. Exodus 20:25: And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. Jeremiah 7:30: For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it. Jeremiah 32:34: But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it. Deuteronomy 12:1-3: These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. Isaiah 27:9: By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up… Ezekiel 6:3-4: And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places. And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

The Roman Catholic Church parades down the street carrying their big idol on a cross as if they are bragging about what they, the Romans (with the help of the church leaders), did to Jesus. They are trying to keep Him on the cross in people’s lives, and because of their lies many of these people who do not know the truth are in bondage. It is time for all our churches to throw away their idols. It is time for the Roman Catholic Church to quit parading (and wearing) that idol on a cross. II Timothy 4:2-4: Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The prophet Daniel talks about the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place – calling it the abomination that maketh desolate. There are many abominations in the holy place of our churches today; in the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches alike. These abominations are causing the Lord’s Spirit to be desolate from His churches. Yet we wonder why His Holy Spirit is not moving. Matthew 24:14-15: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand.) Daniel 11:31: And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Like I said, there are already many abominations in the temple that are causing the Lord to be desolate from His church, and it does not surprise me that Satan is fooling people into believing that one is a representation of God’s Son Jesus Christ! God’s people – it is times for us to repent!

I could go on and on about the false and spiritually dangerous beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church. But, it is not only the Roman Catholic Church, or Catholic Church. Sadly, it is the Protestant churches too who are following some of the same rituals and beliefs as the Roman Catholic Church. The Protestant church as a whole was supposed to have come apart from the Roman Catholic Church but our idols/images, rituals, traditions, and false practices prove otherwise. Joshua 22:19: Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lord’s tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the Lord, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the Lord our God.

It is time for us to put Jesus Christ back on the throne in our churches and in our heart, because He is certainly on the throne in Heaven. Jesus Christ is our Only hope! John 10:7-8: Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. Let’s go through the door (Jesus) and be the sheep that find good pasture!

If you have ever participated in any of the Roman Catholic sacraments I would recommend saying the following prayers, no matter what your denomination, because some Protestant churches are participating in these sacraments also. The Bible says in II Corinthians 6:16-17: And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. Acts 15:20: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. Remember the Roman Catholic Churches misuse of the blood of Jesus in their communion! I Corinthians 10:21: Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. I John 5:21: Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. I Thessalonians 1:9: For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. Also, for a good example of how God told them to clean out the sanctuary see II Kings 23:1-25. We should take God’s advice andclean out our sanctuaries (homes and churches) too!

*

Please say the following prayers, shutting all doors that may have been opened in your life – once and for all!

          Dear God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (the true and Risen Messiah) I ask that you would forgive the sins of my forefathers for making me participate in baby baptism. Forgive me for my sin of being sprinkled. I renounce this now and I ask that (Spiritually speaking) the precious blood of Jesus would cover me and wash me clean. I command every evil spirit that was assigned to me, because of this baptism, to leave me now in the name of Jesus Christ my Risen and Living Savior! Amen.

          Dear God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I ask that you would forgive me for my sin of taking communion, especially 1st communion. I know now that by doing this I became one with the Roman Catholic Church – and with the evil spirits associated with it. In the name of Jesus Christ I command every evil spirit to leave me now! I am the bride Jesus Christ my Risen and Living Savior, and I will serve him only for the rest of my days. I thank you Jesus that you have heard my prayer! Amen.

          Dear God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I humbly confess that I have sinned against you by joining the Roman Catholic Church, by receiving confirmation. I realize now that I was worshipping something made by human hands, and I ask you to forgive me for this. In the name of Jesus Christ I command every evil spirit that entered into my life through this confirmation to leave me now, never to return again. I praise you Jesus for hearing my prayer! Amen.

          Dear God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I ask you to forgive me for praying to Mary and the saints. I know now that I was praying to the dead (necromancy) and to evil spirits. Please cleanse me Spiritually by your precious blood that you shed for me. Cleanse and forgive me for every prayer that I made to the evil spirits behind these false images, and for every confession that I made to the priest (because he is only man and man cannot cleanse me from my sin). I also ask that you would cleanse and protect my family from every prayer that I made on their behalf to these false gods/images. In the name of Jesus Christ I believe that every evil assignment against us is destroyed! Amen.

          Note: If you were married in a Roman Catholic Church ask God to cleanse and make Holy this union. Ask him to protect you, your spouse, and your kids because you marriage was held on cursed ground. You are still married, and this does not mean that your marriage is cursed; it is just an extra prayer of protection.

Extra prayer:

I now declare before heaven that I acknowledge and accept Jesus Christ of Nazareth as my Risen Savior. I know, Jesus, that you died for me and that God has raised you from the dead – and you are alive. Matthew 28:5-7: And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples the he is risen from the dead… Because you (Jesus) have been given new life, I have been given new life. I ask you Lord Jesus to put a filter on my memories and completely cleanse every un-Godly echo from my past. Please cover my old memories and my old hurts with your precious blood. I refuse to let Satan continually echo things from my past into my mind any longer, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I completely surrender my mind to you Jesus Christ. I want to hear only the things you tell me. Create in my mind, heart, and my life new memories. Echo your thoughts and plans to me. Help me remember only what you want me to remember, and never what Satan wants. I thank you Jesus that not only have you removed the un-Godly echo’s of my past but from this day forward you will also filter anything that goes into my eyes, ears, heart, and soul. I ask you to protect my mind and allow your Holy Spirit to work in my life. I Peter 1:13: Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 26:3: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Ephesians 4:23: And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. I am completely surrendering my life to you and the lives of my family from this day forward and forever more. I thank you Jesus because your Word says if I ask anything in your name you will do it. John 14:14: If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. So I ask. Amen!
