Luther was far from perfect - but Salvation is not based on him or his doctrines! Luther struggled to leave all of Rome's corrupt doctrines Hagiography - a sure mark of 'religion' and religiosity Don't check out the facts when your mind is made up? Are the scandals of Papal Rome acceptable? Why does Rome persecute those following the Bible alone? Have there really been only 'a few scandalous popes'? Has Rome really 'survived 20 centuries'? The blasphemy of Mariolatry Matthew 23 describes the clergy of Rome! 'Some popes were great sinners … Luther … was far more scandalous' Luther taught that good works were to be avoided/performing them was a mortal sin  'Luther's' Protestant society much more immoral than Papal Rome?! Luther threw out seven entire books of the Bible Luther added the word 'alone' to Romans 3:28? Protestants still use Luther's canon of the Bible instead of the rightful Catholic one Protestant-Fundamentalism began a hundred years ago? - I Protestant-Fundamentalism began a hundred years ago? - II Who have conflicting beliefs and no unity of doctrine - 'Protestants' or Roman Catholics? Catholics were just about the only Christians around until the Reformation - did Rome kill millions? Were other heresies around before the Reformation? The Papal Doctrine of 'The Two Swords' The 'first' Protestants persecuted Roman Catholics? Who really massacred millions? Who really began the witch-hunts!

How did we actually get the Bible? Can Rome logically deny Sola Scriptura? Did the apostles consult Scripture or the Holy Spirit? Does 'Tradition' - 'oral teachings' of the apostles - have a place? Passages in Scripture point to the importance of Tradition? No Christian faith is more closely aligned with the Bible than Catholicism? Baptism is necessary for salvation? Keeping 'The Commandments' is essential for salvation? 'Once Saved Always Saved' means you can wilfully sin? The Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is Biblical? The Bible is not the sole authority in matters of faith? Catholicism was present from New Testament times? Peter is always listed as the first apostle in all the gospels? Jesus didn't say that Peter would be perfect in behavior - only in his teaching? Early Christians prove the Papal view of the Eucharist is correct? Claims of 'cannibalism' prove the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist?! A letter to Clement proves that the Corinthians appealed to a Bishop and did not consult Scripture? An Ignatius letter proves Papal Rome's 'presidency'? Ignatius tells us that the Eucharist is truly the Flesh and Blood of Jesus Christ? Justin also emphasizes the fact that the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ? Irenaeus supports the Roman Catholic view of the Papacy and the listing of the Bishops of Rome? Polycarp mentions Ignatius approvingly - and this supports the claims of Papal Rome? Do the Church Fathers' beliefs support Rome or 'Fundamentalist' beliefs? Salvation from the Perspective of the Early Church Fathers JUSTIFICATION BY GRACE ALONE WAS DENIED BY TRENT JUSTIFICATION BY GRACE ALONE - DENIED BY VATICAN II PAPAL ROME DENIES SALVATION BY GRACE ALONE IN ITS DEFINITION OF JUSTIFICATION PAPAL ROME DENIES SALVATION BY GRACE ALONE IN A MULTITUDE OF OTHER WAYS Papal Roman Catholic HERESIES If the Catholic Church were really a tool of Satan, then its exorcism rite would go against the words of Jesus? Satan was jealous of Padre Pio and 'attacks' by Satan and evil spirits prove he was used by God? If the Catholic Church is a tool of Satan, why does Satan harass holy Catholics? Do Catholics check their minds in at the door? Should we point out Papal anti-democratic behaviour - as well as the heretical nature of some 'Protestant' pastors?  Papists believe that each 'Protestant' has the right to interpret the Bible personally so that millions of 'views' exist? Protestants don't have Christian unity while 'one billion Catholics' have 'one set of doctrine'? 'Protestant' arguments have little power against Catholics who know the Bible and History? Section 26-44: Theological debate is not loving or God's way? Catholics are against the occult? What is 'the church' founded on? Jesus said his flesh was real food and his blood real drink? Even if Rome were wrong about the Eucharist - it would still be alright with God? 'Visual Eucharistic Miracles' prove Rome is correct? The Eucharist - as possible as the Incarnation? Blind unthinking faith is required to be a Christian? Failure to 'discern the Eucharistic truth' brings Judgement? Is the 'Pope' an antichrist? Should Christians 'take action' against Roman Catholics? Catholicism's Christology is heretical! Many go to Hell because Jesus sacrifice was insufficient? Rome attributes to Mary what Christ has already done! Rome's 'indulgences' reduce/eliminate suffering after death? 'Our Lady of Medjugorje' unites Rome with Islam? How can Rome make Mary 'co-Redeemer'? Mary credited with attributes that belong to Christ alone! Catholics pray to Mary - making requests only God could fulfill? The Queen of Heaven and Babylon - and Rome! Mary is not 'mediatrix' between mankind and Christ! Mary's 'Immaculate Conception' - only officially declared by Rome in 1854! Mary's 'bodily assumption to heaven' - only officially declared by Rome in 1950! Rome's invented doctrine that Mary was 'united' in the redeeming suffering of her Son! The 'woman' of Revelation 12 is Israel - not Mary Alternative views of the 'woman' peddled by Rome? How was Genesis 3:15 understood by the early believers in the nation of Israel? Other attempts to add Mary's sufferings to the Redemption wrought by the Lord Jesus Christ Rome promotes 'Mary' to 'Mother of the Head, and the Mother of the Body' Israel, or Mary, 'clothed' with the 'Sun, moon and stars'? How Rome attempts to 'prove' their 'Immaculate Conception' doctrine Exegesis claimed for eisegesis - even appealing to Luther! The term 'woman' in the New Testament - and Genesis 3:15? Did Jesus regularly use the term 'woman' when addressing women? What about the other occasions when men addressed individual women as 'woman'? Why 'born of woman' does not equate to 'the Woman' of Revelation 12 Does the term 'woman' always simply refer to an individual? Mary is the 'Mother of the Church?' The Mother of Jesus shares in the sufferings of the 'Immolated Lamb'? Mary is the Mother of the Head and Mother of the Body? Popes instruct believers to pray to Mary - what does Jesus say!? Rome's use of force to compel obedience! Thomas Aquinas, Popes, and bishops, vow to kill 'heretics'? What kind of 'unity' does Rome really promote? Rome's doctrine of 'the two swords'? Massacres resulting from Papal policies? The Inquisition - created by Popes to deal with heretics! Influence of Ignatius Loyola and the Jesuit order? Why was Paul John II accused of heresy by other Papists? Let us see you prove these historical facts to be false! Rome's 'gospel' is defined by Scripture to be 'accursed'? How does the Word of God define Christian 'unity'? The Word of God defines Rome as a 'stumbling block' 'Binding and loosing' - and the 'Keys'? Thomas Aquinas approved the killing of those who opposed Papal Rome! Whether heretics ought to be tolerated? Would the Catholic Church put heretics to death - if it still could?! Aquinas - the fate of the 'heretic' was determined by the Church of Rome! When did Rome fall into serious, evil error? The paganization of Christianity began under Constantine The Church Fathers never claimed to be inspired The Sovereignty of God John 6v52 - and those represented in the 'parable of the sower' What happens to Papal bread & wine if left? How did the 'thief on the cross' get the promise of Paradise from Jesus? The seeking after good works of 'correct' sacraments for salvation Manna in the wilderness and Jesus - 'The Bread of Heaven' Another problem in claiming a literal meaning for 'transubstantiation'! 'Transubstantiation' contradicts Scriptural warning against cannibalism! Many, like the Jews, choose to be offended by this offer of Jesus' Dwelling in Christ - Biblically and the version of Papal Rome! Peter understood - why don't the many 'popes' who supposedly followed him? Metaphorical interpretation proves falseness of Papal dogma of transubstantiation Jesus spoke of the cup as symbolizing the new covenant Papal decree (A.D. 1415) forbade laymen to partake of the wine in the Lord's Supper Another cultic flip-flop (Vatican II council, 1962-65) now allows both bread and the wine to lay-persons! Papal contradiction meant failure to fully administer 'Sacramental Mass' to all believers for 550 years! Jesus Who? Quote the Catechism when knocking the Roman Catholic church?
