Thoughts to the modern world

Catholic False Doctrine 3

The Roman Catholic Church claim that Mary was sinless.

“The church has become ever more aware that Mary “full of grace” through God was redeemed from the moment of her conception. This is what the dogma of the Immaculate Conception confesses ….. Mary was…. from the first moment of her conception …… preserved immune from all stain of original sin.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 491)

Not only does the Bible declare that ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), but Mary herself declared that she needed a Saviour.

Luke 1:46-47 …..’And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God MY Saviour.’

Catholic False Doctrine 4

The Roman Catholic Church claim that Mary is in Heaven and is co-redeemer with Jesus.

“That we may rightly say she (Mary) redeemed the human race together with Christ.” (Benedict XV, Inter Sodalicia, 1918)

“In fact, by being assumed into Heaven she (Mary) has not laid aside the office of salvation, but by the manifold intercession she continues to obtain for us the grace of eternal salvation.” (John Paul II, Dives in Misericordia, 1980, quoting Lumen Gentium)

Praise God that we have His Word to expose these false and dangerous teachings. There is ONLY ONE Mediator between God and man, and that is Christ Jesus. The Bible also reveals that those who have died in Christ are still in their graves awaiting the resurrection. Mary is in her grave, NOT in heaven.

1 Timothy 2:5 …..’For there is one God, and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.’

Catholic False Doctrine 5

The Roman Catholic Church claim that salvation is only possible through herself.

“There is no salvation outside the church (Roman Catholic Church).” (Pope John Paul II, Radio Message for Francisan Vigil at St Peter’s and Assisi, October 3, 1981)

“Salvation is to be found nowhere but in the church (Roman Catholic Church), the strong and effective instrument of salvation is none other than the Roman Pontificate.” (Pope Leo XIII, Allocution for the 25th Anniversary of his election, February 20, 1903. (Papal Teachings: The Church, Benedictine Monks of Solesmes, St Paul Editions, Boston, 1962, par. 653)

Again, the Bible exposes this teaching of the Roman Catholic Church as false. Not only that, it is one of the most dangerous doctrines there is. To say that salvation lies only within the Roman Catholic Church is blasphemous against the ONLY ONE who can save us, which is Jesus Christ.

Acts 4:10-12 …..’Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.’

Catholic False Doctrine 6

The Roman Catholic Church claim that Sunday is the weekly holy Sabbath day.

“It is necessary to hold Sunday in special high regard in order to remain united to Christ, as it is the day dedicated to the Lord.” (Message of Pope Benedict XVI to the Participants in the 9th International Youth Forum (Rocca di Papa, 28-31 March 2007), from the Vatican, March 28, 2007)

“People cannot be sanctified except on Sunday, that Christ transferred Sabbath sacredness to Sunday, that only those who keep Sunday belong to Christ, that only on Sunday does the risen Lord makes himself present among his followers, that only these worship God properly, and that may Sunday regain all its importance.” (Letter of Pope Benedict XVI to Card. Francis Arinze on the Occasion of the Study Day in Honour of the 43rd Anniversary of the Promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, From the Vatican, November 27, 2006)

What day did God declare was His weekly holy sabbath day? … Genesis 2:2-3 …..’And on the seventh day, God ended His work which He had made, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it; because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.’

Isaiah 58:13 …..’If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on MY HOLY DAY; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD.’

Now does the Bible suggest any change in the 4th commandment? No, not a even a hint of change in Sabbath observance is mentioned in the Old or New Testament. Not only that, but Jesus Himself said that the seventh day sabbath would still be in effect AFTER His death and resurrection, when He said; “Pray that your flight be not in winter, neither on the sabbath day.” (Matthew 24:20). Here He was talking about the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70.

Acts 16:13 …’And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a riverside, where prayer was wont to be made.’

As you can see above, the apostle Paul and the other disciples also still kept the seventh day Sabbath AFTER Jesus was resurrected. There is not a single hint of the Bible sabbath being abolished or transferred to Sunday. Jesus did not abolish the sabbath or change it like so many professing Christians believe today. So we either take God’s Word and keep the true seventh day sabbath (our Saturday). Or we take man’s word over God and keep Sunday, or no day at all. You choose.

Catholic False Doctrine 7

The Roman Catholic Church teach their members to pray the ‘rosary’ and other repetitive prayers.

“The word Rosary means “Crown of Roses”. Our Lady has revealed to several people that each time they say a Hail Mary they are giving her a beautiful rose and that each complete Rosary makes her a crown of roses …. In every apparition, the heavenly Mother has invited us to say the Rosary.” (Quoted on a Catholic Website)

Members are taught to say the hail Mary and repeat it over and over again. Not only that, if you watch any Catholic TV, and see the nuns praying, you will see that they send the vast majority of their prayers to Mary, rather than Jesus. So what does Jesus Himself say about repetitive prayers?

Matthew 6:7 …’But when ye pray, use NOT vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.’

The above is just a very small selection of Roman Catholic teachings that are easily exposed as false by reading the Word of God in the Bible for yourself. There are so many people who have been deceived by this apostate church and they need to be called out of her. God is calling,come out of Babylon my people.

Catholic False Doctrine 8

The Roman Catholic Church teach that sacraments are NECESSARY for salvation.

“The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation.” (Catholic Catechism)

Two things here. Not only does the Bible clearly state that we are saved by grace through faith alone in Christ Jesus, and NOT of works. But these sacraments are not the kind of “works” that even the Bible commends us to do. These are purely Roman Catholic sacraments like the mass (which is different from Biblical communion), and baptism by sprinkling (again, different from Biblical baptism).

Ephesians 2:8-9 …’For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; Not of works lest any man should boast.’

Catholic False Doctrine 9

The Roman Catholic Church teach that the Priests literally bring down Christ Jesus into the bread and wine of Mass.

“It is by the conversion of the bread and wine into Christ’s body and blood that Christ BECOMES PRESENT in this sacrament … By the consecration the transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ is brought about. Under the consecrated species of bread and wine Christ himself, living and glorious, is present in a true, real and substantial manner … In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the SAME Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross IS CONTAINED and offered in an unbloody manner.” (Catholic Catechism)

The Catholic Church teaches that the Priests have the power to call Christ Jesus down from heaven and place Himself into the round wafer and wine. There to be offered as a sacrifice over and over again! What blasphemy! The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus Christ offered Himself a sacrifice ONCE for all. And yet in the Roman Catholic Church Christ is sacrificed over and over again.

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 didONCE, when He offered up himself.’

Hebrews 10:12 …’But this Man, after He had offered ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOR EVER, sat down on the right hand of God.’

Catholic False Doctrine 10

The Roman Catholic Church teach that the Eucharist is to be WORSHIPPED.

“Because Christ himself is present in the sacrament of the altar he is to be honored with the WORSHIP of adoration … WORSHIP of the Eucharist … The Catholic Church has always offered and still offers to the sacrament of the Eucharist the cult of adoration.” (Catholic Catechism)

Can you see how one false teaching then leads onto another one? That wafer which is offered during mass is NOTHING MORE than a wafer! A piece of food. But this is the important bit to remember. Within the Roman Catholic Church there is Pagan sun worship. You will find sun symbols all over this church, which is why the “day of the sun” (sun-day) is venerated over the true seventh day sabbath (our saturday). And what shape is this wafer that is used during mass? It is a perfect circle. Another symbol of the sun.

So what is being worshipped in mass? It’s certainly not Christ Jesus. No, the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church have deceived their followers into worshipping the sun!

Catholic False Doctrine 11

The Roman Catholic Church teach that all sins MUST be confessed to a Catholic Priest.

“One who desires to obtain reconciliation with God and with the Church, must confess to a priest … Confession to a priest is an essential part of the sacrament of Penance.”

Acts 13:38 …’Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man [Jesus] is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins.’

Matthew 6:9-13 …’Our Father which art in heaven … forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.’

There is not the slightest hint in the Bible that says we need another mediator other than Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5). And it is very clear from God’s Word that we have DIRECT access to God through Christ Jesus and the only one other than God who can forgive sins is Jesus Christ Himself (Matthew 9:6).

So we have yet another blasphemous teaching from the Roman Catholic Church.

Catholic False Doctrine 12

The Roman Catholic Church teach that salvation includes the Muslims.

“The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day.” (Catholic Catechism)

Funny, no mention of Jesus Christ our Saviour there! I’ll leave you with one final verse of TRUTH:

John 14:6 …’I am the way the truth and the life; no one cometh to the Father BUT BY ME.’

It would already be time for the Catholic Church to start following the AUTHENTIC WORD OF GOD and nothing else. They are guilty of sending hundreds of millions of poor people to hell by their false teachings. One day, they will have to face the consequences of their vicked actions.

With this article I am not attacking ordinary people who are catholics. The sharp arrow of my words are solely pointed against the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church, especially the cardinals and the pope, who are responsible for leading millions and millions of people away from God, towards the gates of hell. Their systematical misleading teachings are the only reason why countless of innocent souls have been led to hell. God will not forget this.

Catholic False Doctrine 1

Roman Catholicism teaches that the apostle Peter was the first “pope” and that there has been an unbroken line of popes since Peter. From this belief they proclaim that the Roman Catholic Church is the only true church because Peter (and the Catholic Church) were given the “keys”, so to speak, to the kingdom of God and no other church has been given those keys. The Catholic Church base this teaching on those well known words that Christ Jesus spoke to Peter in Matthew:

Matthew 16:18 …’And I say unto thee Peter, thou art Peter [petros], and upon this Rock [petra] will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’

So who was the “rock” [petra] that Christ was talking about? Was it Peter like the Catholics believe? Or was Christ speaking of Himself? Well, we are going to use the best way of getting to the TRUTH of this verse, by using the Bible to interpret itself.

How did the Disciples Interpret This?

Would you agree that the best way to interpret these words from Jesus is to find out how the other apostles who heard these very words understood them? After all, if Jesus really did mean that Peter was to be the “head” of the church, then we should find some support for this in the rest of the New Testament writings.

Who did Peter himself believe was the “rock” upon which the church was to be built? Speaking of Jesus Christ before the people, Peter said:

Acts 4:11-12 …’This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the Head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.’

Ok, is there any reference at all here from Peter that the church was to be built upon himself? No, he clearly points to Christ Jesus as the “stone” or “rock” that the church is to be built on, with Jesus being the HEAD of it. And notice what else Peter says. He clearly states that NO OTHER NAME HAS BEEN GIVEN AMONGST MEN whereby we can be saved. Only Jesus Christ. And yet the Catholic leaders teach that it is only through the Roman Church that salvation can be secured, due to Jesus giving Peter the “headship” of the church. But Peter himself disagrees with them!

1 Peter 5:1-4 …’The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.’

We can clearly see that Peter thought himself to be just an “elder” amongst the other elders of the church. Nothing more! And he confirms Christ to be the “Chief Shepherd” and the only Leader of the Christian church. Also, look at what else he says. No one is to act as a “lord” over God’s heritage, ie, no one is to exercise any kind of dominion over the church.

A rebuke to Roman Catholicism from the very man they believe to be their leader and first pope!

What about the apostle Paul. Who did he proclaim as the “rock”? Well, in all of Paul’s writings in the New Testament, not once does he refer to Peter as any kind of leader of the church. But he does share something interesting:

1 Corinthians 10:1-4 …’Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.’

The Greek word for “rock” here is the same one used by Jesus in Matthew 16, which is “PETRA”. And Paul is clearly pointing to Christ Jesus as that “Petra” (Rock).

Interestingly, the Old Testament is awash with verses describing our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ as a “Rock”. See Deuteronomy 32:4; 1 Samuel 2:2; Psalms 18:2; Psalms 28:1.

Paul also states in 1 Corinthians 3:11 that “no other foundation can be laid other than the one already laid which is Christ Jesus.” What is a building built upon?

It’s a FOUNDATION right? So the “Rock” that Jesus said He would build His church on is the very foundation of the church, which is Christ Jesus crucified. Think about it. How can the Christian church be built upon a sinful man, Peter? There is nothing to build upon with Peter, because salvation requires faith in Christ Jesus alone, and Him crucified for our sins. THAT is the “rock”, the rock of calvary. There is NO OTHER foundation that the church can be built upon. And if we attempt to build a church on a sinful man, then that church will end up falling, just like Babylon has fallen! Because she built her foundation upon the sand, rather than the TRUE rock, which is Christ Jesus.

Unbroken Line of Popes?

Another teaching the Roman Catholic Church puts forward is the teaching that there has been an unbroken line of Popes since Peter. But there is a problem with this teaching also.

First, no Christians for FOUR CENTURIES after the time of Christ believed that Peter was the leader of the church. This teaching wasn’t accepted until around A.D.445 during the reign of Pope Leo I. It was only during this time that the Catholic Church needed to find some Biblical support for Papal supremacy.

The other problem with this teaching of an unbroken line is that in A.D.1045, Pope Benedict IX was ran out of office because of his unworthiness, with Silvester III taking his place. When Benedict IX returned, he sold the Papal throne to Gregory VI, but still refused to give up his own claim to the throne. So at this time, all three men claimed to be the legitimate Pope! Then in 1046, the German Emperor Henry III settled it by deposing all three Popes and appointing a fourth, Clement II.

So history hardly supports this “unbroken line” of Popes.

So Who Was the First Pope?

Acts 8:9-22 …’But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.’

And yet The Roman Catholic Church tell their followers that they can PURCHASE salvation with money through the doctrine of indulgences!

How many poor souls during the centuries have the Catholic Church sent to hell by their devilish false teachings, only God knows.
But let us go back to the first pope.

Simon Magus was, as already stated, a Pagan who blended his Pagan ways with Christianity. Yes, he asked Peter to pray for him so that none of the bad things Peter said would happen to him would come upon him. But it is widely accepted by Christian historians that Simon Magus did not leave his Pagan ways behind. Instead he blended them into his new “Christian” beliefs. Which is exactly what the Roman Catholic Church is, a blending of Paganism and Christianity.

You will notice from the verses in Acts 8 that Simon Magus was not just a Pagan who practiced sorcery. He was in fact the LEADER of the Pagan “church” and had many followers who thought that he was ordained of God!

“The author, or first representative of this baptized heathenism, according to the uniform testimony of Christian antiquity, is Simon Magus, who unquestionably adulterated Christianity with pagan ideas and practices, and gave himself out, in a pantheistic style for an emanation of God.”(Schaff’s History of the Church, Apostolic Christianity, Vol. 2, p. 566)

And where did Simon Magus end up going?

When Justin Martyr wrote his Apology [152 A.D.], the sect of the Simonians appears to have been formidable, for he speaks four times of their founder, Simon; and we need not doubt that he identified him with the Simon of Acts 8. He states that he was a Samaritan, adding that his birthplace was a village called Gitta; he describes him as a formidable magician, and tells that he came to ROME in the days of Claudius Caesar (45 A.D.), and made such an impression by his magical powers, THAT HE WAS HONORED AS A GOD, a statue being erected to him on the Tiber, between the two bridges, bearing the inscription ‘Simoni deo Sancto’ (the holy god Simon) (Dictionary of Christian Biography, Vol. 4, p. 682).

Simon Magus went to Rome and setup his new “church” there. An amalgamation of Paganism and Christianity! And yet the apostle Peter did not go to Rome. It was Paul who was the apostle to the Romans!

So who was the first pope? It was Simon Magus, the Pagan sorcerer!

Conclusion

If the Roman Catholic teaching of Peter being assigned as the first Pope in Matthew 16 was true, then the rest of the New Testament would clearly support this fact. But what we have instead is the complete opposite. None of the other apostles recognized Peter as the leader, and they all pointed to Christ Jesus as that “rock” upon which the church was to be built.

So no, Peter was NOT the first “pope” or leader of the Christian church. But Simon Magus, the leader of the Pagan Church at that time fits perfectly as being the one who brought Paganism and Christianity together, which resulted in the Roman Catholic Church.

Jesus Christ is the ONLY “Rock” on which the entire church structure rests, for without Him there would be no church at all. Faith in Him as the Son of God makes it possible for us also to become sons of God (John 1:12). And the realization and acceptance that Jesus Christ is indeed the Son of God, as Peter emphatically affirmed upon this occasion, is the “key” to the door of salvation. But it is merely incidental, not fundamental, that Peter was the first to recognize and declare his faith, which, upon this occasion, he did as spokesman for all the disciples

Catholic False Doctrine 2

The Roman Catholic Church SELLS THE GOSPEL through Indulgences.

“The Church also commends almsgiving, indulgences and works of penance undertaken on behalf of the dead … An indulgence is partial or plenary according as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin. Indulgences may be applied to the living or the dead.”(Catholic Catechism)

The Roman Catholic Church teaches that after death, everyone who has sinned will go to “purgatory”, where they will face punishment for their sins. After this they are then allowed into the heavenly kingdom, once they have “PAID” for their sins.

But with an indulgence, you can pay the church some money and you will receive an indulgence which will either reduce your time in “purgatory” or erase it all together. By the way, the Vatican was built on indulgences, and Martin Luther exposed the error of indulgences back in the 1500’s with his 95 Thesis.

Now anyone who knows the Bible will see that there is grave error in this teaching, because not only is the grace of God a FREE GIFT to anyone, but Christ Jesus PAID the FULL PRICE for our sins already more than 2000 years ago.

And what did Simon Magus, the Pagan sorcerer try to do? As we already know, he tried to BUY the gift of God WITH MONEY, and the apostle Peter sharply rebuked him in very strong words, telling him that his money will die with him!

Ephesians 2:8 …’For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.’

Have you ever heard of a free gift that you had to pay for? So why does the Catholic Church do this? So they can line their pockets with the money of the poor people they are leading away from God’s authentic Word.

The Vatican was built from the selling of indulgences? Yes, it was not only built upon a Pagan burial site. It was also built from SELLING the gospel!

Such a procedure may be acceptable to all impoverished associations, but it is not appropriate for a church that should direct people to God. In fact, it’s against the Word of God.

I know that what I’m going to write here, may be controversial to someone, and I want to apologize if these words are hurting you.
But instead of shooting the messenger, try to go deep down into the world of your own motives and do your best to figure out how to be a better person in front of God and other people.

For as long as I’ve had enough understanding of God’s Word and will, I have disliked the Doctrines of the Catholic Church.
Why? Because of their misleading teaching about many essential Christian doctrines.
Without knowing the truth of God, people are heading towards hell.

The other reason is that most people with Catholic faith seem too fake to me. I.e. they can without any pain of conscience, go directly from Church to a bar to get drunk and live in any kind of sin… whatever their lust is telling them.

I have learnt that most of them have God only in their mouths but not in their hearts.
They are the most untrustworthy people I have ever met in my life. They can easily say one thing and do something totally different… And breaking their promises means nothing to them.
Afterall, the catholics think that they can always “confess their sins” afterwards..and after some “Hail Marias” they’ll be “clean” again.
Of course, this is a total lie.

That’s what their Catholic Church has falsely taught them, but in front of God, their contineous confessions from their contineous sins, which they only performed mechanically but not sincerely, are sending them to hell forever, because their Catholic Church never learnt them how to sincerely repent and change their behavior, which is needed to get God’s grace.

Instead, by misusing God’s Grace, they crucify Christ all over again and again.

Real confess ALWAYS contains sincere repentance, which leads to changed behavior and avoiding to sin anymore.

What does the Bible teach about the relationship between salvation and repentance?

Firstly, it teaches that repentance is essential to salvation. One cannot truly believe unless she repents, and one cannot truly repent unless she believes. Repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin. 

Acts 11:18 and 2. Peter 3:9 are two of the many verses that teaches about repentance. These passages are teaching that repentance is essential for salvation. Perhaps 2. Timothy 2:25 best sums up the relationship between repentance and saving faith when it speaks of “repentance to the acknowledging of the truth” (see also Acts 20:21).

Secondly, the Greek word for repentance (metanoia) means “to have another mind,” but it cannot properly be defined to exclude a sense of hatred of and penitence for sin. The biblical concept of repentance involves far more than merely a casual change of thinking.

Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin. Repentance is a turning from sin, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).

Finally, despite what is being widely taught today, affirming that repentance and acknowledgement of Jesus’ Lordship are necessary to salvation does not “add” anything to the requirement of faith for salvation.

It is not “faith plus repentance” that saves, but rather a repentant faith. The notion that salvation is possible apart from a genuine, heartfelt repentance, which includes a deep hatred of sin, is a relatively new one, neither believed nor taught by the people of God until the twentieth century.

How can I say that? I answer with the Words of Jesus Christ in Matt. 12:33 :
“…the tree is known by its fruits.”
A good person brings good out of her heart and you can see it by the way she behaves. A bad person brings bad out of her heart and that you can also see that by the way she behaves.

Living in sin means that they put their lust before God, without feeling any or very little quilt of their wrongdoings. That’s why it is so hurtful to God.

Making sin is temporarily stepping aside from God’s will, but acknowledging that she did wrong against God and having the ability of regretting and sincerely apologizing her wrongdoings.
If you have been born again in Biblical meaning, you’ll have a personal relationship with God and won’t (necessarily) need a priest between yourself and God.

Belive me, God knows what humans are made of and has a lot of mercy for our weaknesses. This does not mean that we could deliberately continue making sin.

When Jesus says, “Go, and sin no more.. ” in John 8:11, he does not expect that this woman would only take away her sinner’s flesh so that she would never be tempted again. Jesus says that she has to say ‘NO’ to the sin she lives in, and to prevent the lust being fullfilled; ie to prevent the temptation from evolving into sin.

From this we see that all sins starts in our minds and what Jesus is asking us to do, is that we won’t let our flesh accept the temptations, because if we do, only then will we be guilty of committing sin.
And Rom. 6:23 says:” For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”

Jesus Himself say, “If anyone wants to follow me, let her DENY herself, and take up her CROSS every day, and follow ME ” (Luke 9:23) What did he mean? He really means that we should deny the bad thoughts in our minds that are tempting us.
Only by denying that kind of tempting thoughts, can we live a pure and meaningful life in harmony with God.

To live in harmony with God is the best cure against stress and mental problems, because When we know that we are living in His will, we also understand that there’s no sin in our life, and that’s more than liberating to us… (1. John 1:7-10)

Now, I hope, you start to see how meaningless it is to always sin and confess, sin and confess. It won’t lead us to sincere repentance in God’s eyes. We only deceive ourselves if we continue like that. The wages of that kind of behavior is death, proves the Word of God.
(Rom. 6:23)

The hexagonal star has long been used in magic, occultism, witchcraft and astrology and has been found in so many occult crimes that for example the Police of the state of California have issued instructions to all schools warning children to be wary of this symbol.

This symbol was widely accepted, not because it was chosen by the Jews, but ironically because Hitler forced all Jews to use the yellow six-pointed star during the Holocaust. The word “Holocaust” means burnt offering, and the six-pointed star was used before people were sacrificed to Molok and Ashtoreth in worship of Baal. The few Jews who had to deal with the six-pointed star (the hexagram) were enthusiasts of the occult. Would Hitler give any good to the Jews? Hitler’s purpose was to despise and exterminate the Jews and bind them to the occult (read the book “Nazis and the Occult”). became fashionable.

In Amos 5:26, Yhwh angrily says to His people, “Ye have borne your king Sikkut, and your images of Kyjun, your star god, which ye have made for yourselves.” The Sikkim and Kijjun (Chiun or Kaiwan) mean “stars” and refer to Saturn and were the subjects of idolatry in Assyria. Egyptian diversity went with the children of Israel, including the “star.” Like the obelisk, the six-pointed star was an Egyptian idol in their worship. In 922 BC, when Solomon married Pharaoh’s daughter, he became involved in worship, magic, and witchcraft of Egyptian idols. Solomon built an altar to Ashtoreth and Molok, and the six-pointed star, the main symbol of human sacrifice in magic and witchcraft, became the seal of Solomon.

Solomon did not heed God’s repeated warnings to give up this disgusting expenditure, even though God threatened to tear the kingdom of Israel out of his son’s hand. And indeed, the division came after Solomon’s death. Solomon’s idolatry led to the split of the Kingdom of Israel. The expenditure he led the children of Israel to end up causing the Room of Israel to exile to the Caucasus and the house of Judah to be imprisoned. Josiah later destroyed this forbidden altar.

And btw. the number of the beast, 666, is also related to Solomon (1 Kings 10:14)? Yes, 666 talents of gold were sent to Solomon every month from the king Tire. After reading this passage, see Ezekiel 28. A really messy net was woven while Solomon was practicing fraud. King Solomon left many items to prove his idolatry, such as King Solomon’s Mirror, King Solomon’s Tomb and the Six-pointed Star, which made it known as Solomon’s Seal in the world of witchcraft and occultism. Solomon also laid the foundation for the craft (Daniel 8:25), later known as Freemasonry, which employs a six-pointed star considerably in its masonic rituals.

On 28/10/1948 and six months after the proclamation of the Israel, the “Provisional Council of State” decided the six-pointed star as the logo on the Israeli flag, in spite of the strong opposition of the Jews leaders who wanted the Menorah as the logo of the Jewish state. To give the hexagronal the biblical nature, some Jews claim that “a hexagonal star was engraved on Solomon’s ring as a symbol of sovereignty over demons”. This star is called “Magen David” in Hebrew, which mean “Shield of David”, then ” The star of David”. All these were Invalidated and even questioned by the Jews themselves as they were based on unreliable narrations.

The Hexagonal Star was actually introduced into the Jewish community in Prague during the 17th Century. It has its origins in ancient Egyptian and Babylonian paganism. In the prohibition of Deuteronomy 4:17, worship of stars and heavenly constellations is considered a form of idolatry. The hexagram star was always associated with occult magic practices in Zoroastrian and Druid religion.

Some Orthodox Jewish organizations vehemently rejected the Magen David as a symbol, claiming that it infiltrated Judaism from occultist practices, notably through the 13th Century Kabbala. The red six-point star had served as a crest for the Jewish Rothschild family, which influenced the Zionist movement to accept the star of David as the chief symbol of Judaism. Sadly, the six-point six-sided hexagon, a tool of witches’ mediums, will not guide one to walk with God.

The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia declares that the six-pointed star—according to the star-worshipping Rosicrucians—was known to the ancient Egyptians. The religion of the ancient Egyptians is known to have consisted preeminently of sun-worship.

Moses sternly warned the Israelites against worshiping the sun, moon, stars, and all the host of heaven.

Deuteronomy 4:19:

“And take heed, lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage.”

Moses’ warning was emphatic. The prohibition of making and worshiping any image of that which is in heaven above emphasizes the stars and implies also the other celestial bodies.The six-pointed star can be traced through the worship of Ashtoreth (also known as Astarte, meaning ‘star’) and Chiun and Remphan (meaning ‘star’) from the Egyptians before King Solomon’s time.The first biblical mention of an idolatrous star among the Israelites is in the 8th century BC, mentioned in Amos 5 regarding their trek from Egypt to Canaan. God is thinking back and talking them about what had transpired

Amos 5:25-27:

“Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? You also carried Sikkuth [i.e., tabernacle of Moloch, the god to which they sacrificed children] your king and Chiun, [i.e., a pagan deity] your idols, the star of your gods, which you made for yourselves. Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts.”

In the book “The History and Practice of Magic” , Volume 2, the six-pointed star is called the talisman of Saturn. The obverse side has the five pointed star, commonly called the pentagram; and the reverse side has the Seal of Solomon with the hexagram at its center.

As stated before, the hexagram is also known as the “King’s Star” in astrological circles, and was an important astrological symbol in Zoroastrianism. It was also used by the Druids during the highest Sabbath of occultists and witches, now called “Halloween.”

The hexagram is also found in Arabian magic and witchcraft through the Middle Ages.The Shield or Star of David is not mentioned in rabbinic literature at all. Notably, not a single ancient archeological proof exists as yet concerning the use of this symbol in the Holy Land in ancient times, even after King David. It has been noted in two isolated cases in the 3rd century AD: on a Jewish tombstone at Tarentum, in southern Italy, and it was used in the Capernaum synagogue in the same century.

With this article I do not wish to point out anything else, than the importance of following G-d’s law and commands even in this modern world, where it is too easy for anyone who is not being alert, to go astray from G-d and get involved in the kind of sins that will destroy your true ability to talk with Him and ask him for advice.
