Pope Francis Declares Lucifer as God

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Wes’ Comment: This video clearly reveals whom Pope Francis (the people’s Pope) wants to welcome back to Earth as a very public figure–the Lord of the AIF, who can be directly linked to Lucifer (see the Wes Penre Papers). I am talking about Lord En.ki, whom I exposed in the Wes Penre Papers as being the Overlord of the ETs who have controlled and manipulated mankind behind the scenes since the beginning of time, in a sense (potentially En.ki’s son, Lord Marduk, will play a role in this as well).

There is a reason why this Jesuit Priest became the current Pope at this particular time, and the creepy Ratzinger had to go. There is a reason why Pope Francis wants to connect with people on an average level, and there’s a reason why he wants to be so liked and admired by Catholics as well as non-Catholics. There is a reason why he is saying that all religions are accepted as valid.

It seems to me that this Last Pope (if we believe prophecies) may be the one to welcome and baptize the Lord of Lords as the God of a World Religion–the Religion of the New ‘Golden Age,’ which accepts all religions as One.

It doesn’t matter what you and I think about Prophecy; the fact is that there are those who are working very, very hard to make them come true. That is what it is all about. The Prophecies are “blueprints” that certain minions of the ET controllers are here to follow–instructions or protocols, if you will.

Something is bound to happen soon. I don’t have any time frame, but it’s easy to see the writing on the wall, isn’t it? Thanks goodness we know enough not to be fooled!

      Not surprised as the Catholic church is a man’s church. And a man’s church is Satan’s church.

        No you’re not, Lucifer = the planet Venus. der. You’d better slog off back to Venus, be peerless god all on you’re own.

        :lol:

        “Lucifer (/ˈlʲuːsɪfər/ lew-sif-ər) is the King James Version rendering of the Hebrew word הֵילֵל in Isaiah 14:12. This word, transliterated hêlêl[1] or heylel,[2] occurs only once in the Hebrew Bible[1] and according to the KJV based Strong’s Concordance means “shining one, light bearer”.[2] The word Lucifer is taken from the Latin Vulgate,[3] which translates הֵילֵל as lucifer,[Isa 14:12][4][5] meaning “the morning star, the planet Venus”, or, as an adjective, “light-bringing”.[6] The Septuagint renders הֵילֵל in Greek as ἑωσφόρος[7][8][9][10][11] (heōsphoros),[12][13][14] a name, literally “bringer of dawn”, for the morning star.[15]”

      Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.–Matthew 16:12
      It wasn’t so long ago, that Catholic doctrine said that salvation was only available through the the Church, a Pharisee doctrine. Now it has gone to the opposite Sadducee doctrine which has a leftist view that all religions are valid, EXCEPT those who believe the Scriptural fundamentals of the Christian Faith, which this Pope has condemned.

      • Pix

        That’s not a leftist view but a liberal one.

        • Damien

          Leftism is money grubbing economics as the basis of society. Liberalizing meth whores.

          • Pix

            Sounds identical to fascism.

    • Pix

      WTF are you talking about? Lucifer has a single specific meaning, the bright morning star, the planet Venus on the dawn horizon. The planet Venus has no connection to The Association of Independent Festivals. Your link goes straight to a rabid creationist nut case web site.

      :lol:

      • Miskondukt

        I saw this on BIN a couple months ago, my question was and is (for all those Pope watching folk) how often is Lucifer referenced in religious events? What’s the context of those references, has the number of times the term has been used increased?

        There is has been and is an inarguable rise in Satanism and its churches.

        • Pix

          Only uneducated people would mistake Lucifer, the bright morning star, aka the Venus on the dawn horizon, for Satan. Which is everyone without a theology degree. You can now tell who the frauds are. By that I mean the blind leading the blind, who shouldn’t be let anywhere near a preachers podium.

    • Amminadab

      There are no ETs on earth.

      The Catholic church has always followed Satan. Dark Ages they tortured and murdered millions of true Christians.

      • Louis

        Amminadab said during the Dark Ages the Catholic Church tortured and murdered millions of true Christians.

        During the Dark Ages there were no other Christians other than Catholics. The first Protestant Church was founded by English King Henry VIII in the 1530s, way after the Dark Ages.

        The Dark Ages lasted from 476 AD to 1000 AD. During that time, or at any other time, the Catholic Church didn’t torture or murder large numbers of any people.

        Amminadab – lying, mentally challenged bigot.

          Therefore the pope ordered “that malicious and abominable sect of malignants,” if they “refuse to abjure, to be crushed like venomous snakes.”–Wylie, b. 16, ch. 1.

          “absolved from all ecclesiastical pains and penalties, general and particular; it released all who joined the crusade from any oaths they might have taken; it legitimatized their title to any property they might have illegally acquired; and promised remission of all their sins to such as should kill any heretic. It annulled all contracts made in favor of Vaudois, ordered their domestics to abandon them, forbade all persons to give them any aid whatever, and empowered all persons to take possession of their property.”–Wylie, b. 16, ch. 1.

          “On August 24, 1527, Roman Catholics in France, by prearranged plan, under Jesuit influence, murdered 70,000 Protestants within the space of two months. The Pope rejoiced when he heard the news of the successful outcome.”-Western Watchman, Nov.21, 1912 (Catholic)

          “There was no village of the Vaudois valleys but had its martyrs. The Waldenses were burned; they were cast into damp and horrid dungeons; they were smothered in crowds in mountain caverns, mothers and babes, and old men and women together; they were sent out into exile in the winter night, unclothed and unfed, to climb the snowy mountains; they were hurled over the rocks; their houses and lands were taken from them; their children were stolen to be indoctrinated with the religion which they abhorred. Rapacious individuals were sent among them to strip them of their property, to persecute and exterminate them. Thousands of heretics” or Waldenses, “old men, women and children, were hung, quartered, broken upon the wheel, or burned alive and their property confiscated for the benefit of the king, and Holy See.”-Thompson – The Papacy and the Civil Power

          “The greatest of all the ecumenical Councils held in the West previous to Trent had been Innocent III’s Fourth Lateran Council (1215). In the 3rd Canon of that Council it is enacted that bishops should inquire at least once a year in every parish, with power, if need be, to compel the whole community on oath to name any heretics whom they knew. An aider or abettor of a heretic is himself ipso facto excommunicate; if discovered and publicly excommunicated, he incurs civil death, and those who communicate with such abettors shall themselves be excommunicated. For the heretics themselves, they are to be ‘exterminated,’ and any prince neglecting to exterminate them is to be deposed by the Pope, who will release his subjects from their allegiance. Even, if we would otherwise have doubted what ‘extermination’ means in its final implications, the word is clearly glossed by St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa 2-2, xi, 3) ‘remove from the world by death.’” -Dr. G. G. Coulton – ANGLICAN ESSAYS:

          “Experience teaches that there is no other remedy for the evil, but to put heretics (Protestants) to death; for the (Romish) church proceeded gradually and tried every remedy: at first she merely excommunicatied them; afterwards she added a fine; then she banished them; and finally she was constrained to put them to death.” -Cardinal Bellarmine famous champion of Romanism cited by Schumucker p. 76

          The Word says… “They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.” John 16:2-3
          March 12, 2000, Pope John Paul II ADMITTED the Roman Catholic Church KILLED the believers and does NOT know the Father or Jesus. To deny that, is to deny the very words of Jesus Christ. See proof here… -Pope and Forgiveness?-

          “That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind, will be questioned by no Protestant who has a competent knowledge of history . . . It is impossible to form a complete conception of the multitude of her victims, and it is quite certain that no powers of imagination can adequately realize their sufferings.”–W. E. H. Lecky, History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe, vol. 2, p. 32, 1910 edition. (An excellent though lengthy article describing in detail the right of the Roman Catholic Church to do this, will be found in The Catholic Encyclopedia, vol. 12, p. 266.)

          “For professing faith contrary to the teachings of the Church of Rome, history records the martyrdom of more then one hundred million people. A million Waldenses and Albigenses [Swiss and French Protestants] perished during a crusade proclaimed by Pope Innocent III in 1208. Beginning from the establishment of the Jesuits in 1540 to 1580, nine hundred thousand were destroyed. One hundred and fifty thousand perished by the Inquisition in thirty years. Within the space of thirty-eight years after the edict of Charles V against the Protestants, fifty thousand persons were hanged, beheaded, or burned alive for heresy. Eighteen thousand more perished during the administration of the Duke of Alva in five and a half years.”–Brief Bible Readings, p. 16.
          [On August 24, 1572, Roman Catholics in France, by pre-arranged plan, under Jesuit influence, murdered 70,000 Protestants within the space of two months. The pope rejoiced when he heard the news of the successful outcome. (Read Great Controversy, chapter 15 for the details.) [If you don't have a copy, write and we'll send you one.] “Catholics say only 30,000 were slain. Protestants put the number at 70,000. We prefer the latter figure. If there were 70,000 Huguenots [French Protestants] in Paris the night of the massacre, so much the more justification for the slaughter . . . We have heard ring out many times the very bells that called the Catholics together on that fatal night. They always sounded sweetly in our ears”–Western Watchman, Nov. 21, 1912 [Roman Catholic].

          Louis;
          Catholics have NEVER been Christians. The ONLY Christians that have ever existed, to this day, are not part of any religion created by men. No real Christian is part of any sect or denomination, nor have they ever been since the first Christian Congregation was begun in 33 C.E. by Jesus. That same Christian Congregation still exists.

        • MikeSavage

          Louis;
          That is not correct. There were Christians, but no sect/denomination is actually Christian, they are Christendom, the mix of pagan and Christian beliefs. Christendom is false Christianity. Christians, real Christians, are part of NO church or man made religion. The religions of Christendom only lyingly CLAIM to be Christian.

      • MikeSavage

        Amminadab;
        They are the FIRST religion of Christendom. ALL religions of Christendom are pagan and follow Satan to one degree or another. All religions of Christendom whore with governments and industry and sanction all that God abhors. That’s why He called them “Babylon the Great” and “the whore of Babylon”.

      Vatican echoes Satan’s comments in Isaiah 14

      POPES OF ROME PROCLAIM:

      “We hold upon this earth the place of God almighty…”Leo XIII
      “We, define, declare, assert that it is absolutley necessary to salvation that every huamn creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff…” Boniface VIII
      “….Union of minds, therefore, requires complete submission to the will of the church, and to the pontiff, as to God himself..” Leo XIII

      Sound familiar? Look at what the WOrd uncovers about Satan’s desires…

      “How thou art fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning, how thou are cut down to the ground (earth (Rev. 12:12, Luke 10:18))…For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregaion, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High” Isaiah 14:12-14

      Satans and Rome’s end result?

      “Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. And they that shall see the shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake the kingdoms” Isaiah 14:15-16

      The belief in the Bible as the sole source of faith is unhistorical, illogical, fatal to the virtue of faith, and destructive of unity.” -The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume XIII, “Protestantism”, Section III A – Sola Scriptura (“Bible Alone”), Nihil Obstat, February 1, 1912 by Remy Lafort, D.D., Censor, Imprimatur. +John Cardinal Farley, Archbishop of New York. (online source: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12495a.htm )

      “Unfortunately many of these books were lost during the persecution of the 17th century, and only those books and ancient documents sent to the libraries of Cambridge and Geneva by Pastor Leger were perserved. The Papists took care, after every persecution, to destroy as much of the Waldensean literature as possible. Many of the Barbes were learned men and well versed in the languages and science of the Scriptures. A knowledge of the Bible was the distinctive feature of the ancient, and now the modern Vaudois. Deprived for centuries of a visible church and forced to worship in caves and dens, this intimate knowledge of God’s word was their only light. Their school was in the almost inaccessible solitude of the deep mountain gorge called ‘Pra Del Tor’, and their studies were severe and long-continued, embracing the Latin, Romaunt and Italian languages.”-Bompiani – A Short History of the Italian Waldenses

      Their refusal to surrender the scriptures was an offense that the Papacy could not tolerate. The Papacy was determined to exterminate the heretics from the face of the Earth. The heretics greatest offense, was that they refused to worship God according to the will of the Pope. For this crime, the heretics suffered every humiliation, insult and torture that man could event: ( Fox’s Book Of Martyrs)

      1) Hanged and their genitals were cut off
      2) The mothers were whipped
      3) The women’s breast were ripped off
      4) They were tied up and fried in a large pan
      5) Their mouths were sewed shut
      6) They were placed into a pot of boiling water
      7) Their arms and legs were cut off
      8) Some had their eyes bored out

      (Rev.) Dr. Cahill declared that “he would rather the Catholic should read the worst books of immorality than the Protestant Bible-that forgery of God’s Word, that slander of Christ.” – (Roman Catholic Tablet, December 17, 1853, p. 804).

      “Do you allow your flock to read the Bible at all?” said a writer in the Contemporary Review to a friend of his, a parish priest. “No, sir, I do not; you forget that I am a physician, not a poisoner of souls.” -Contemporary Review April, 1894, p. 576.

      “The doctrines of the Catholic Church are entirely independent of Holy Scripture.” Familiar Explanation of Catholic Doctrine, Rev. M. Muller, p.151.

      The decree set forth in the year 1229 A.D. by the Council of Valencia… places Bible on The Index of Forbidden Books. The doctrine withholds “it is forbidden for laymen (common man) to read the Old and New Testaments. – We forbid them most severely to have the above books in the popular vernacular.” “The lords of the districts shall carefully seek out the heretics in dwellings, hovels, and forests, and even their underground retreats shall be entirely wiped out.” Council Tolosanum, Pope Gregory IX, Anno. Chr. 1229

      The church Council of Tarragona ruled that: “No one may possess the books of the Old and New Testaments in the Romance language, and if anyone possesses them he must turn them over to the local bishop within eight days after the promulgation of this decree, so they may be burned.” D. Lortsch, Histoire de la Bible en France, 1910, p.14.

      “Socialism, Communism, clandestine societies, Bible societies… pests of this sort must be destroyed by all means.” The encyclical Quanta Cura Issued by Pope Pius IX, December 6, 1866

      “The Bible does not pretend to be a formulary of belief, as in a creed or catechism. There is nowhere in the New Testament a clear, methodical statement of the teaching of Christ” -Question Box, p. 66

      “The very nature of the Bible ought to prove to any thinking man the impossibility of its being the one safe method to find out what the Savior taught.” Ibid., p. 67

      …It was well for Luther that he did not come into the world until a century after the immortal invention of Guttenberg. A hundred years earlier his idea of directing two hundred and fifty million men to read the Bible would have been received with shouts of laughter, and would inevitably have caused his removal from the pulpit of Wittenburg to a hospital for the insane.” -The Faith of Our Fathers, p. 69; see also The Faith of Millions, p. 152

      “Again it has ever been practically impossible for men, generally, to find out Christ from the Bible only.” -Question Box, p. 70

      “…The Bible nowhere implies that it is the only source of faith.” -Ibid., p. 77

      “The Scriptures indeed is a divine book but it is a dead letter, which has to be explained, and cannot exercise the action which the preacher can obtain.” -Our Priesthood, p. 155

      “…A dead and speechless book.” -Question Box, p. 67

      “The simple fact is that the Bible, like all dead letters, calls for a living interpreter.” -The Faith of Millions, p. 155

      Rome hatred of God’s Sabbath

      “Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act… And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.” H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons. Nov. 11, 1895

      “Sunday is our MARK or authority. . .the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact” Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1,1923.

      But there is something still wanting to a full statement of the untenable position taken up by those sticklers for “Sabbath” observance. What right, anyhow, have these gentlemen as Protestants to lay down the law as to what is to be done or not done on Sunday? Sunday is a Catholic institution, and its claims to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles. If the “Bible and the Bible only is the religion of Protestants,” if “whatever is not read therein nor maybe proved thereby” has no claim on their faith or observance, what scrap of title can they show for all their dogmatic insistence as to the requirements of the Lord’s Day? From beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first. Thus Sunday observance is an incongruous adjunct of the Protestant faith, utterly out of keeping with its fundamental principle, and strongly suggests a religion that suffered sadly from too much hurry in the making.
      If any Sabbatarian wants to know the proper method of spending the Sunday, the Catholic Church is the natural source to apply to for information. Under her direction the Sunday supplanted the Jewish Sabbath, and she is, therefore, the best fitted to settle any dispute as to its claims. Source: The Bible Echo, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Vol. 15, No. 42, Oct. 15, 1900, page 674, quoting The Catholic Press, Sydney, Australia, Aug. 25, 1900.

      “Aiphonse, king of Aragon, etc., to all archbishops, bishops, and to all others…We command you that heretics, to wit, the Waldeneses and Insabbathi (those who keep the Sabbath), should be expelled away from the face of God and from all Catholics and ordered to depart from our kingdom.” – Marianae Praefatio in Lucam Tudensem and quoted in Macima Bibliotheca Veterum Patrum Vol 25 p 190

      Justin Martyr, a popular “mainstream Christian “of the second century (around 150 AD) believed that the Sabbath was an outdated mosaic law which God placed on the Jews as ” a mark to single them out for punishment they so well deserve for their infidelities.”- Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho.

      Canons against Sabbath-keepers from the French Council Toulouse in 1229: “Canon 3.- The lords of the different districts shall have the villas, houses, and woods diligently searched, and the hiding-places of the heretics destroyed. Canon 14.- Lay members are not allowed to possess the books of either the Old or the New Testaments.” – Hefele. 5, 981, 962

      Council, Moscow, 1503 : “The accused (Sabbath-keepers) were summoned; they openly acknowledged the new faith, and defended the same. The most prominent of them,…were condemned to death, and burned publicly in cages, at Moscow, Dec 17.1503- H. Sternberfi, Geschichte der Juden

      “This zeal for Saturday-keeping continued for a long time: even little things which might strengthen the practice of keeping Saturday were punished.” – Bishop Anjou, Svenska Kirkans Historia after Motet i Upsala.

      “The famous Jesuit, Francais Xavier, called for the Inquisition, which was set up in Goa, India, in 560, to check the ‘Jewish wickedness’ (Sabbath-keeping).” – Adney, The Greek and Eastern Churches p 527,528.

      Pope Gregory I, 590-604 AD, Epistles b. 13:1- “Gregory, bishop by the grace of God to his well-beloved sons, the Roman citizens: It has come to me that certain men of perverse spirit have disseminated among you things depraved and opposed to the holy faith, so that they forbid anything to be done on the day of the Sabbath. What shall I call them except preachers of anti-Christ.”

      “Moreover, this same Pope Gregory had issued an official pronouncement against a section of the city of Rome itself because the Christian believers there rested and worshipped on the Sabbath.”- Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers

      “Some have suffered torture because they would not rest when others kept Sunday, for they declared it to be the holiday and law of Antichrist.” – Sebastian Frank, AD 1536. By this time in history the Seventhday Sabbath was severely under attack.

      In Eithiopia, 1604 AD, the Jesuits influenced King Zadenghel to propose to submit to the Papacy ” Prohibiting all his subjects, upon severe penalties, to not observe Saturday any longer.”- Gedde’s Church History of Eithiopia p 311 and also in Gibbon’s Decline and Fall chapter 47. (There go those Jesuits again!)

      Catholic Provincial Council at Bergen -” We are informed that some people in different districts of the kingdom, have adopted and observed Saturday-keeping. It is severely forbidden- in holy church canon- one and all to observe days excepting those which the holy Pope, archbishop, or the bishops command. Saturday-keeping must under no circumstances be permitted hereafter further than the church canon commands. Therefore, we counsel all the friends of God throughout all of Norway who want to be obedient towards the holy church to let this evil of Saturday-keeping alone; and the rest we forbid under penalty of severe church punishment to keep Saturday holy.” – Dip, Norveg, 7, 397.

      “The inquisitors…(declare) that the sign of a Vaudois (Waldeneses of France, Sabbathkeepers) deemed worthy of death, was that he followed Christ and sought to obey the commandments of God” – History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages, H.C. Lea, Vol 1.

      “The Pope has the power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ.” “The Pope has the authority and often exercised it, to dispense with the command of Christ.” Decretal, de Tranlatic Episcop. Cap. (The Pope can modify divine law.) Ferraris’ Ecclesiastical Dictionary.

      “The Sunday…is purely a creation of the Catholic Church.” American Catholic Quarterly Review, January 1883

      “Sunday…It is the law of the Catholic Church alone…” American Sentinel (Catholic) June 1893

      “The Catholic church,” declared Cardinal Gibbons, “by virtue of her divine mission changed the day from Saturday to Sunday.” Catholic Mirror Sept. 23 1983. (Official organ of Cardinal Gibbons)

      “The Pope is of great authority and power that he can modify, explain, or interpret even divine laws… The Pope can MODIFY divine law, since his power is not of man, But of God, and he acts as vicegerent of God upon earth.” -Lucius Ferraris, Prompta Ribliotheca, “Papa,” art. 2, translated.

      “The authority of the church could therefore not be bound to the authority of the Scriptures, because the Church had changed the Sabbath into Sunday, not by command of Christ, but by its own authority.” Canon and Tradition, p. 263

      “Is not every Christian obliged to sanctify Sunday and to abstain on that day from unnecessary servile work? Is not the observance of this law among the most prominent of our sacred duties? But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.” -James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers (1917 ed.), pp. 72, 73.

      “The Catholic church,” declared Cardinal Gibbons, “by virtue of her divine mission changed the day from Saturday to Sunday.” Catholic Mirror Sept. 23 1983. (Official organ of Cardinal Gibbons)

      Question – Which is the Sabbath day?
      Answer – Saturday is the Sabbath day.
      Question – Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
      Answer – We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 364), transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.” The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, p. 50, 3rd ed.

      “The Bible says, Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. The Catholic church says, No! By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day, and command you to keep the first day of the week. And lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic church!” Father Enright, C.S.S.R. of the Redemptoral College, Kansas City, History of the Sabbath, p. 802

      “Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. “The day of the Lord” was chosen, not from any direction noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church’s sense of its own power …. People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become Seventh-day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.” (Saint Catherine Church Sentinel, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995.)

      “Sunday is a Catholic institution and its claim to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles …. From beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first.” (Catholic Press, Sydney, Australia, August, 1990.)

      “The Adventists are the only body of Christians with the Bible as their teacher, who could find no warrant in its pages for the change of day from the seventh to the first. Hence their appellation,” Seventh-day Adventists. “They’re cardinal principle consists in setting apart Saturday for the exclusive worship of God, in conformity with the positive command of God Himself, repeatedly reiterated in the sacred books of the Old and New testaments, literally kept by the children of Israel for thousands of years to this day, and endorsed by the teaching and practice of the Son of God while on earth.” -Rome’s Challenge, (Why do Protestants keep Sunday?) page two

        The Catholic church was not founded in 33 A.D.

        Peter never went to Rome. He was never a pope.

        The Catholic church is not now nor has it ever been a Christian church.

        “It is interesting to note how often our Church has availed herself of practices which were in common use among pagans…Thus it is true, in a certain sense, that some Catholic rites and ceremonies are a reproduction of those of pagan creeds….” (The Externals of the Catholic Church, Her Government, Ceremonies, Festivals, Sacramentals and Devotions, by John F. Sullivan, p 156, published by P.J. Kennedy, NY, 1942)

        “It has often been charged… that Catholicism is overlaid with many pagan incrustations. Catholicism is ready to accept that accusation – and even to make it her boast… the great god Pan is not really dead, he is baptized” -The Story of Catholicism p 37

        Cardinal Newman admits in his book that; the “The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison [Note 17], are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church. {374}” -An Essay on The Development of the Christian Doctrine John Henry “Cardinal Newman” p.359

        The penetration of the religion of Babylon became so general and well known that Rome was called the “New Babylon.” -Faith of our fathers 1917 ed. Cardinal Gibbons, p. 106

        “In order to attach to Christianity great attraction in the eyes of the nobility, the priests adopted the outer garments and adornments which were used in pagan cults.” -Life of Constantine, Eusabius, cited in Altai-Nimalaya, p. 94

        “The Church did everything it couldto stamp out such ‘pagan’ rites, but had to capitualet and allow the rites to continue with only the name of the local diety changed to some Christian saint’s name.” -Religious Tradition and Myth. Dr. Edwin Goodenough, Professor of Religion, Harvard University. p. 56, 57

        In Stanley’s History, page 40: “The popes filled the place of the vacant emperors at Rome, inheriting their power, their prestige, and their titles from PAGANISM.”

        Below are eleven major New Testament proofs, which completely disprove the claim that Peter was in Rome from the time of Claudius until Nero. These biblical points speak for themselves and ANY ONE of them is sufficient to prove the ridiculousness of the Catholic claim. Notice what God tells us! The truth IS conclusive!

        PROOF ONE: We should consider Christ’s commission to Peter. This is often very embarrassing to Catholics, because Christ commissioned Peter to become chief minister to the CIRCUMCISED, not to uncircumcised Gentiles.

        “The gospel of the CIRCUMCISION was unto Peter; (For He that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)” (Gal. 2:7-8).

        Here we have it in the clearest of language. It was Paul, NOT Peter, who was commissioned to be the chief Apostle to the Gentiles. And who was it that wrote the Epistle to the ROMANS? It certainly WASN’T Peter! “And when James, Cephas [Peter], and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace [i.e., the gift or office] that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” (Gal. 2:9). Paul further mentioned his special office as the Gentile Apostle in II Timothy 1:11: “Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.”

        PETER is NOWHERE called the Apostle to the Gentiles! This precludes him from going to Rome to become the head of a Gentile community.

        PROOF TWO: Paul specifically told the Gentile Romans that HE had been chosen to be their Apostle, not Peter. “I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable” (Rom. 15:16). How clear! Paul had the direct charge from Christ in this matter. He even further relates in Romans 15:18 that it was Christ who had chosen him “to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed.”

        PAUL Established the Only TRUE Church at Rome during the apostolic era.

        PROOF THREE: We are told by Paul himself that it was he — not Peter –who was going to officially found the Roman Church. “I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established” (Rom. 1:11). Amazing! The Church at Rome had not been ESTABLISHED officially even by 55 or 56 A.D. However, the Catholics would have us believe that Peter had done this some ten years before — in the reign of Claudius. What nonsense! Of course you understand that NEITHER Peter nor Paul established the Catholic Church! But these proofs are given to illustrate that it is utterly impossible for PETER to have been in any way associated with ANY Church at Rome.

        PROOF FOUR: We find Paul not only wanting to establish the Church at Rome, but he emphatically tells us that his policy was NEVER to build upon another man’s foundation. “Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, LEST I SHOULD BUILD UPON ANOTHER MAN’S FOUNDATION”(Rom. 15:20). If Peter had “founded” the Roman Church some ten years before this statement, this represents a real affront to Peter. This statement alone is proof that Peter had never been in Rome before this time to “found” any church. Peter Not in Rome

        PROOF FIVE: At the end of Paul’s Epistle to the Romans he greets no fewer than 28 different individuals, but never mentions Peter once! See Romans 16 –read the whole chapter! Remember, Paul greeted these people in 55 or 56 A.D. Why didn’t he mention Peter? — Peter simply wasn’t there!

        PROOF SIX: Some four years after Paul wrote Romans, he was conveyed as a prisoner to Rome in order to stand trial before Caesar. When the Christian community in Rome heard of Paul’s arrival, they all went to meet him. “When THE brethren [of Rome] heard of us, they came to meet us” (Acts 28:15). Again, there is not a single mention of Peter among them. This would have been extraordinary had Peter been in Rome, for Luke always mentions by name important Apostles in his narration of Acts. But he says nothing of Peter’s meeting with Paul.

        Why? Because Peter was not in Rome!

        PROOF SEVEN: When Paul finally arrived at Rome, the first thing he did was to summon “the chief of the Jews together” (Acts 28:17) to whom he “expounded and testified the kingdom of God” (Verse 23). But what is amazing is that these chief Jewish elders claimed they knew very little even about the basic teachings of Christ. All they knew was that ‘‘as concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against” (Verse 22). Then Paul began to explain to them the basic teachings of Christ on the Kingdom of God. Some believed — the majority didn’t.

        Now, what does all this mean? It means that if Peter, who was himself a strongly partisan Jew, had been preaching constantly in Rome for 14 long years before this time, AND WAS STILL THERE — how could these Jewish leaders have known so little about even the basic truths of Christianity? This again is clear proof Peter had not been in Rome prior to 59 A.D. No Mention of Peter in Paul’s Letters

        PROOF EIGHT: After the rejection of the Jewish elders, Paul remained in his own hired house for two years. During that time he wrote Epistles to the Ephesians, the Philippians, the Colossians, Philemon, and to the Hebrews. And while Paul mentions others as being in Rome during that period, he nowhere mentions Peter. The obvious reason is — the Apostle to the circumcision wasn’t there!

        PROOF NINE: With the expiration of Paul’s two year’s imprisonment, he was released. But about four years later (near 65 A.D.), he was again sent back a prisoner to Rome. This time he had to appear before the throne of Caesar and was sentenced to die. Paul describes these circumstances at length in II Timothy. In regard to his trial, notice what Paul said in II Timothy 4:16. “At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men [in Rome] forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.” This means, if we believe the Catholics, that Peter forsook Paul, for they tell us Peter was very much present at Rome during this time! Peter once denied Christ, but that was before he was converted. To believe that Peter was in Rome during Paul’s trial, is untenable!

        PROOF TEN: The Apostle Paul distinctly informs us that Peter was not in Rome in 65 A.D. — even though Catholics say he was. Paul said: “Only Luke is with me” (II Tim. 4:11). The truth becomes very plain. Paul wrote TO Rome; he had been IN Rome; and at the end wrote at least six epistles FROM Rome; and not only does he NEVER mention Peter, but at the last moment says: “Only Luke is with me.” Peter, therefore, was never Bishop of Rome!

        PROOF ELEVEN: Peter’s death is foretold by Christ himself (John 21:18-19.) “. When you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Hmm, it sounds like Christ himself said that Peter would die of old age. Why would Peter’s death in old age glorify God? Peter was the one that ran from Christ the night of his trial and crucifixion. This exchange is after Christ rose from the tomb and Peter was forgiven three times, just as he denied his master three times before the cock crowed that fateful night of Christ’s trial.

        Where was Peter the apostle of Christ? At the times the Catholics believe Peter was in Rome, The Bible clearly shows that he was elsewhere. The evidence is abundant and conclusive. By paying attention to God’s own words, no one need be deceived. Peter was NEVER the Bishop of Rome!

        Near 45 A.D., we find Peter being cast into prison at Jerusalem (Acts 12:3, 4). In 49 A.D., he was still in Jerusalem, this time attending the Jerusalem Council. About 51 A.D., he was in Antioch of Syria where he got into differences with Paul because he wouldn’t sit or eat with Gentiles. Strange that the “Roman bishop” would have nothing to do with Gentiles in 51 A.D.! Later in about 66 A.D., we find him in the city of Babylon among the Jews (I Pet. 5:13). Remember that Peter was the Apostle to the CIRCUMCISED. Why was he in Babylon? Because history shows that there were as many Jews in the Mesopotamian areas in Christ’s time as there were in Palestine. It is no wonder we find him in the East. Perhaps this is the reason why scholars say Peter’s writings are strongly Aramaic in flavor, the type of Aramaic spoken in Babylon. Why of course! Peter was used to their eastern dialect.

        At the times the Catholics believe Peter was in Rome, The Bible clearly shows he was elsewhere. As previously mentioned there are many supposed historical accounts of Peter in Rome but none of them are first hand accounts and should not be put above the many accounts of The Bible.

        We know from The Bible that the apostle Peter was not in Rome. There was a Simon Peter in Rome after the death of Christ but it is not the apostle Peter that was a fisherman from Jerusalem.

          Amminadab defends its anti-Catholic bigotry, lies and lunacy by quoting from other bigots, liars and lunatics. That’s hardly a defense. It’s a joke.

          I refer to Amminadab as an “it” because in the Bible the lying beast is referred to as an “it.”

          Rant and rave all you want. But you’re still a liar. The pope is not the Antichrist. The Roman Catholic Church has never killed millions of people. Christian knights have killed people in battle. That’s what happens in battles — people get killed. The Spanish Inquisition was not carried out by the Catholic Church. It was carried out by the government of Spain to save the country from being destroyed from within.

          History’s most widespread slaughters have been committed AGAINST Catholics. By the Freemasonic republicans during the French Revolution. By Lenin and Stalin. By Mao. By Henry the VIII during the so-called “Reformation.” By republicans in the Spanish Civil War. The list goes on and on.

          Ammninadad is just another dime-a-dozen deranged wind-bag ranting and raving its way into perdition.

          99% of anti-Catholic bigots are nothing more than sexual perverts who reject the Church’s teachings on the proper use of human sexuality.

          Amminadab sounds like Pix the lesbian.

            Rather then calling names why not address what Paul clearly stated in Galatians.

            Why would Peter a Jew and an apostle to the Jews go to gentile Rome to set up a church of 100% gentiles??? and for the most part — EXCLUDE JEWS?
            ——-Even to this DAY?

            Plus if you will read, Christ sent the 12 Apostles to the Lost sheep of the House of Israel – I believe that is found in Matt 10:6 — the House of Israel is different then the House of Judah — God divided the 12 tribes after Solomon died. Only the House of Judah was around in those days.

            Gal. 2: 7-8
            “The gospel of the CIRCUMCISION was unto Peter; (For He that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)”.

            Louis I know how difficult this is for you because there are no logical reasons nor facts to back up your beliefs — it all a great mystery?????? and I hate mystery!!!!

            The Catholic church is responsible for more deaths than all of the worlds dictators combined.

            Ancient Pagans

            As soon as Christianity was legal (315), more and more pagan temples were destroyed by Christian mob. Pagan priests were killed.
            Between 315 and 6th century thousands of pagan believers were slain.
            Examples of destroyed Temples: the Sanctuary of Aesculap in Aegaea, the Temple of Aphrodite in Golgatha, Aphaka in Lebanon, the Heliopolis.
            Christian priests such as Mark of Arethusa or Cyrill of Heliopolis were famous as “temple destroyer.” [DA468]
            Pagan services became punishable by death in 356. [DA468]
            Christian Emperor Theodosius (408-450) even had children executed, because they had been playing with remains of pagan statues. [DA469]
            According to Christian chroniclers he “followed meticulously all Christian teachings…”
            In 6th century pagans were declared void of all rights.
            In the early fourth century the philosopher Sopatros was executed on demand of Christian authorities. [DA466]
            The world famous female philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria was torn to pieces with glass fragments by a hysterical Christian mob led by a Christian minister named Peter, in a church, in 415.
            [DO19-25]

            Mission

            Emperor Karl (Charlemagne) in 782 had 4500 Saxons, unwilling to convert to Christianity, beheaded. [DO30]
            Peasants of Steding (Germany) unwilling to pay suffocating church taxes: between 5,000 and 11,000 men, women and children slain 5/27/1234 near Altenesch/Germany. [WW223]
            Battle of Belgrad 1456: 80,000 Turks slaughtered. [DO235]
            15th century Poland: 1019 churches and 17987 villages plundered by Knights of the Order. Victims unknown. [DO30]
            16th and 17th century Ireland. English troops “pacified and civilized” Ireland, where only Gaelic “wild Irish”, “unreasonable beasts lived without any knowledge of God or good manners, in common of their goods, cattle, women, children and every other thing.” One of the more successful soldiers, a certain Humphrey Gilbert, half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, ordered that “the heddes of all those (of what sort soever thei were) which were killed in the daie, should be cutte off from their bodies… and should bee laied on the ground by eche side of the waie”, which effort to civilize the Irish indeed caused “greate terrour to the people when thei sawe the heddes of their dedde fathers, brothers, children, kinsfolke, and freinds on the grounde”.
            Tens of thousands of Gaelic Irish fell victim to the carnage. [SH99, 225]

            Crusades (1095-1291)

            First Crusade: 1095 on command of pope Urban II. [WW11-41]
            Semlin/Hungary 6/24/96 thousands slain. Wieselburg/Hungary 6/12/96 thousands. [WW23]
            9/9/96-9/26/96 Nikaia, Xerigordon (then turkish), thousands respectively. [WW25-27]
            Until Jan 1098 a total of 40 capital cities and 200 castles conquered (number of slain unknown) [WW30]
            after 6/3/98 Antiochia (then turkish) conquered, between 10,000 and 60,000 slain. 6/28/98 100,000 Turks (incl. women & children) killed. [WW32-35]
            Here the Christians “did no other harm to the women found in [the enemy's] tents—save that they ran their lances through their bellies,” according to Christian chronicler Fulcher of Chartres. [EC60]
            Marra (Maraat an-numan) 12/11/98 thousands killed. Because of the subsequent famine “the already stinking corpses of the enemies were eaten by the Christians” said chronicler Albert Aquensis. [WW36]
            Jerusalem conquered 7/15/1099 more than 60,000 victims (jewish, muslim, men, women, children). [WW37-40]
            (In the words of one witness: “there [in front of Solomon's temple] was such a carnage that our people were wading ankle-deep in the blood of our foes”, and after that “happily and crying for joy our people marched to our Saviour’s tomb, to honour it and to pay off our debt of gratitude”)
            The Archbishop of Tyre, eye-witness, wrote: “It was impossible to look upon the vast numbers of the slain without horror; everywhere lay fragments of human bodies, and the very ground was covered with the blood of the slain. It was not alone the spectacle of headless bodies and mutilated limbs strewn in all directions that roused the horror of all who looked upon them. Still more dreadful was it to gaze upon the victors themselves, dripping with blood from head to foot, an ominous sight which brought terror to all who met them. It is reported that within the Temple enclosure alone about ten thousand infidels perished.” [TG79]
            Christian chronicler Eckehard of Aura noted that “even the following summer in all of palestine the air was polluted by the stench of decomposition”. One million victims of the first crusade alone. [WW41]
            Battle of Askalon, 8/12/1099. 200,000 heathens slaughtered “in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ”. [WW45]
            Fourth crusade: 4/12/1204 Constantinople sacked, number of victims unknown, numerous thousands, many of them Christian. [WW141-148]
            Rest of Crusades in less detail: until the fall of Akkon 1291 probably 20 million victims (in the Holy land and Arab/Turkish areas alone). [WW224]

            Heretics

            Already in 385 C.E. the first Christians, the Spanish Priscillianus and six followers, were beheaded for heresy in Trier/Germany [DO26]
            Manichaean heresy: a crypto-Christian sect decent enough to practice birth control (and thus not as irresponsible as faithful Catholics) was exterminated in huge campaigns all over the Roman empire between 372 C.E. and 444 C.E. Numerous thousands of victims. [NC]
            Albigensians: the first Crusade intended to slay other Christians. [DO29]
            The Albigensians…viewed themselves as good Christians, but would not accept roman Catholic rule, and taxes, and prohibition of birth control. [NC]
            Begin of violence: on command of pope Innocent III (greatest single pre-nazi mass murderer) in 1209. Bezirs (today France) 7/22/1209 destroyed, all the inhabitants were slaughtered. Victims (including Catholics refusing to turn over their heretic neighbours and friends) 20,000-70,000. [WW179-181]
            Carcassonne 8/15/1209, thousands slain. Other cities followed. [WW181]
            subsequent 20 years of war until nearly all Cathars (probably half the population of the Languedoc, today southern France) were exterminated. [WW183]
            After the war ended (1229) the Inquisition was founded 1232 to search and destroy surviving/hiding heretics. Last Cathars burned at the stake 1324. [WW183]
            Estimated one million victims (cathar heresy alone), [WW183]
            Other heresies: Waldensians, Paulikians, Runcarians, Josephites, and many others. Most of these sects exterminated, (I believe some Waldensians live today, yet they had to endure 600 years of persecution) I estimate at least hundred thousand victims (including the Spanish inquisition but excluding victims in the New World).
            Spanish Inquisitor Torquemada alone allegedly responsible for 10,220 burnings. [DO28]
            John Huss, a critic of papal infallibility and indulgences, was burned at the stake in 1415. [LI475-522]

            Giordano Bruno, Dominican monk, after having been incarcerated for seven years, was burned at the stake for heresy on the Campo dei Fiori (Rome) on 2/17/1600.

            Witches

            from the beginning of Christianity to 1484 probably more than several thousand.
            in the era of witch hunting (1484-1750) according to modern scholars several hundred thousand (about 80% female) burned at the stake or hanged. [WV]

After murdering him, the Catholic mob mutilated his body, “cutting off his head, his hands, and his genitals… and then dumped him into the river [...but] then, deciding that it was not worthy of being food for the fish, they hauled it out again [... and] dragged what was left … to the gallows of Montfaulcon, ‘to be meat and carrion for maggots and crows’.” [SH191]
            17th century: Catholics sack the city of Magdeburg/Germany: roughly 30,000 Protestants were slain. “In a single church fifty women were found beheaded,” reported poet Friedrich Schiller, “and infants still sucking the breasts of their lifeless mothers.” [SH191]

            Already in the 4th and 5th centuries synagogues were burned by Christians. Number of Jews slain unknown.
            In the middle of the fourth century the first synagogue was destroyed on command of bishop Innocentius of Dertona in Northern Italy. The first synagogue known to have been burned down was near the river Euphrat, on command of the bishop of Kallinikon in the year 388. [DA450]

            Every soul on earth will sometime come in touch with this Stone. He will either fall on it and be broken, that he may be a new creature in Christ Jesus; or he will reject the Stone, and at last it will fall upon him and destroy him. (Matt. 21:42,44)

            Blessed is the one that makes Christ the chief corner-stone in all his daily work. Jesus to-day asks us, as He did Peter of old, “whom say ye that I am?” Our lives give the answer. Peter’s answer was, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matt. 16:16) This answer was given him from the Father.

            Christ responded, “Thou art Peter.” In these words He acknowledged Peter as His disciple, for He had given him the name of Peter when he called him to follow Him. (John 1:42)

            The word “Peter” meant a stone, or a fragment of rock. Christ’s manner of teaching was to use earthly things to illustrate heavenly lessons; and He took the name Peter, meaning a fragment of rock, to direct the mind to the solidity of the confession and the stability of the cause which was founded upon “the Rock,” Christ Jesus, of which Peter, when he accepted Christ as His Master, became a portion, or fragment. Every true follower of Christ becomes one of the “living stones” in the great spiritual building of God. (1 Peter 2:5)

            Christ did not say, On thee, Peter, will I build My church, but immediately changes the expression and says, “Upon this Rock I will build My church.” (Matt. 16:13-20)

            Centuries before, Isaiah had written, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation.” (Is. 28:16) Peter and every other son of Adam has failed when tested. Christ is the only one ever born of woman that has withstood every temptation, and is a “tried stone,” fit to be the chief corner-stone in the great church of God.

            Christ has not placed any mortal man as the foundation of His church. Sad would have been the condition of the church if it had been built upon Peter; for only a short time after he made the above confession, his heart was so full of evil and wrong conclusions that, as the record states, Christ said to him, “Get thee behind Me, Satan:thou art an offense unto Me:for thou savorest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” (Matt. 16:23) -The Cross and its Shadow by Stephen Haskel

              Amminadab — now blaming the Catholic Church for the Jewish “holocaust” when in fact more Catholics died in the holocaust than Jews.

              You sound like Pharisees.org — a raving lunatic who invents truth and then believes it, just like Lucifer did when he thought he could be like God.

              Anyone who believes a word you say is more insane than you.

              Amminadab;
              The word the KJV translated church is “ecclesia” and it only translates into two English words: people and congregation, NOT church. Jesus began no church. None, ever. He taught AGAINST churches and religions of man. You still misunderstand much. If you stop using false translations, things will become clearer for you.

      There are 63 verses of praise within the Bible that have the word amen within them.
      1 Chronicles 16:36,Ephesians 3:21,Revelation 7:11-12, Psalm 72:19, Romans 9:5, Romans 11:36. Romans 16:25-27
      Galatians 1:3-5, Philippians 4:20, 1 Timothy 1:17, Hebrews 13:20-21, 1 Peter 4:11, 1 Peter 5:10-11,
      2 Peter 3:17-18, Revelation 1:4-7, Galatians 6:18, Romans 15:33, 1 Corinthians 16:24, Revelation 22:20-21

      Jeremiah 28:5-6

      Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD, and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so; may the LORD confirm your words which you have prophesied to bring back the vessels of the LORD’S house and all the exiles, from Babylon to this place.

      Do I really need to list every one of them? My point is praising the Lord and using the word Amen is Biblical not satanic. The Bins is not promoting The Light.

        Ahem…..but all religions are not “one” either….so the catholics err in that respect…and in idolatry and several other areas.
