I am against all FALSE DOCTRINES....I don't discriminate, if its not in scripture its nothing but man made doctrine. Its called Sola Scriptura worship with the Holy Scriptures used entirely as doctrine. When man made tradition injects itself as doctrine their is no standard to calibrate what is truth and what is fake. The Christ called those of his era that used the man made traditions instead of the actual record found in scripture as doctrine. He called them Vipers, the blind leading the blind, hypocrites, children of hell, fools (Matt. 15:12-14, Matt. 23:15, 17, 23, 24, 27-28, 33).
The Christ was never afraid to call a lying dog a lying dog. You want to know about the history of the Catholic Church? Just read history actual, then read from the Holy Scriptures about wearing pomp0us uniforms and commanding people to follow the word of these pompous leaders instead of the actual word of God.
The record is clear, compare the Catholic Church with the actual text and record of the Holy Bible.
1. Catholicism declares the POPE as the head of the church and Christ's proxy here on earth, what do the scriptures say about that? There is only ONE head of the church and its not a pope that calls himself LORD over the church .....the head of the church is Christ Jesus as He rules over the church beside Father God in Heaven (Eph. 1:22-23, 4:5, Col:1-18)
The Pope cannot be the head of the church if the Christ is the head of the church "He (Jesus) is the blessed AND ONLY POTENTATE, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, WHO ALONE HAS IMMORATLITY, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power." -- (1 Tim. 6:15-16)
Catholicism claims that the chain of Popes has not been broken since the days of Peter with Peter as the 1st Pope (God on earth). This is not factually true as recorded in the Holy Bible. Peter was given the keys to the kingdom of Christ (the church on earth) (Matt. 16:19). The record shows that on the day of Pentecost in the 1st century Peter stood side by side with the 11 other apostles of Christ, not as head of the church but as equals, as All 12 of the Apostles received the baptism of the Holy Spirit as promised via the Christ (Acts 2:1-4) All of the Apostles preached the gospel of Christ (Acts 2:14).
According to history actual the first Roman Catholic Pope did not come into existence until the year 588 A.D. when John the Faster claimed the office as UNIVERSAL BISHOP. Gregory the Great called him an Anti-Christ for such a proclamation. Referenced from "The Bible vs. Romanism", Trice, pg. 67-68
Catholicism teaches that man made tradition is equal to the recorded word of God in scripture. Some of these traditions have Christians commanded to pray to a human (Mary).
The Bible teaches the truth. Mary did not remain a virgin she had children, the siblings of Jesus (Matt. 12:46-47). There is not one example of anyone ever praying to Mary in the Holy Scriptures.
Catholicism teaches that certain men can enter the priesthood and must remain celibate. The Bible teaches that ALL CHRISTIANS EVERY MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST is a member of the priesthood (1 Peter 2:9)....and it was the supposed 1st pope that recorded that fact of scripture......PETER. The scriptures teach that a man can marry and still be part of the church or a priest (1 Cor. 7:2)
Most importantly Catholicism teaches that man made tradition (example: Christmast, Easter...etc., that you will not find in scripture) is equal to the actual doctrine record of the Holy Bible....the Bible contradicts this tradition and unambiguously declares that nothing should be added or taken away from the word of God (Rev. 22:18-19)
