"Jesus" is Lonely - So Catholics are Trying to Keep Him Company

The false Roman practice of bread worship was illustrated recently in an article titled, "Update: Eucharistic Adoration in the Diocese." This article, from 'The Catholic Times' of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus, Ohio, detailed the latest in Catholic idolatry in central Ohio.

"Eucharistic Adoration" is the Catholic worship of an inanimate piece of bread they think is Jesus. This supposedly happens when a priest incants some magical formula, and the God of the universe is then thought to humbly submit to the whim of a mere man, and then turn Himself into a piece of bread.

The article quotes a deceived Roman woman, who goes to a Roman church on a regular basis and spends an hour worshipping a piece of bread. She says, "Jesus is alone in the tabernacle all day." (The tabernacle is a small box, on either the main or side altar, which according to Rome, contains extra pieces of Jesus.) The woman continues, "I hate the fact that he's there all alone by himself every day."

So........the god of Rome is locked in a box by human hands and is lonely! But, this is the "jesus" that the Catholic Church wants - a god subject to a Roman priest, a god who is lonely, stuck in a dark box, and needs people to come and console him. The woman also said, "I stop in and visit him - spend some time with him." So she chats to pieces of bread locked in a box. This is what the wicked Roman doctrine of the eucharist leads to:

1. God is mocked in that He is reduced to a piece of bread stuck in a box.

2. People will worship and talk to pieces of bread.

Jesus said in John 8:12, "I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD," and in 10:9, "I AM THE DOOR," but I'm not going to talk to the light bulb above me, nor to my door, and I'm not going to ask some Roman priest to come and wave his magic wand over these objects, and then have him tell me to worship them!

God once again in His infallible book, the BIBLE, anticipated this false teaching. Acts 7:48-49 says, "HOWBEIT THE MOST HIGH DWELLETH NOT IN TEMPLES MADE WITH HANDS; AS SAITH THE PROPHET, "HEAVEN IS MY THRONE, AND EARTH IS MY FOOTSTOOL; WHAT HOUSE WILL YE BUILD ME?" If this was in reference to the temple in Jerusalem, how much more does this apply to a small box in your local Roman church?

Where is Jesus physically today? Not as some wafer in a box! Romans 8:34 says, "IT IS CHRIST THAT DIED, YEA RATHER, THAT IS RISEN AGAIN, WHO IS EVEN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, WHO ALSO MAKETH INTERCESSION FOR US." Roman priests have lied to us - Jesus is at the right hand of the Father, He's not a lonely wafer in a Roman church.

May God give Catholics the grace to repent of the sin of mocking God by the idolatrous act of bread worship; may they forever forsake the Catholic Church, and receive the real Christ by faith ALONE.

The REAL Heart of the Catholic Church Revealed Immediately After Sept 11

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Moslem leaders issued a joint statement September 14 regarding the recent attack on the United States. It's contents reveal that Romish bishops, in their pursuit of deception, will even lie about Islam and the Koran. After all, Roman bishops have had hundreds of years practice lying about what the BIBLE says!

Along with the usual self-congratulations that, "Catholics and Muslims meet regularly as friends and religious partners," and that they, "abhor all terrorist acts," the statement also says, "Nothing in our Holy Scriptures (BIBLE and Koran), nothing in our understanding of God's revelation, nothing that is Christian or Islamic justifies terrorist acts and disruption of millions of lives which we have witnessed this week." Really???

The Koran, in Surah 8:60 says, "Strike terror into the heart of the enemies of Allah and your enemies." Surah 9:5 says, "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolators (anyone who rejects Islam) wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them."

The Koran only confirms what our history books tell us, that Islam was spread by the sword, but the Catholic Church has never let the truth stand in the way of furthering her evil ends. It is plain to see that the best device unregenerate man has come up with to mock God is - Roman Catholicism.

These American bishops are not only guilty of treason towards Jesus Christ, but by their oath of loyalty to the head of another country, the Vatican, we must question which side these bishops will take - America's, or whatever the leader (the pope) they have sworn allegiance to will tell them? The above quoted statement shows that these Roman bishops will lie about the Koran, even over the graves of 3000 Americans, many of whom were probably Catholic.

What motive could Rome have for this lie about the Koran? Rome is using this attack on the USA to further pursue her ecumenical drive and ingratiate herself with Islam. The American media this past weekend was filled with Romish cries for tolerance, love, and to not hate, and this must be playing very well with Moslems worldwide.

What was missing from these Roman homilies was a determination to stop these terrorists from killing more people. Why? Because if Rome was to exhort the USA to defend itself, Moslems might not want to be so cozy with Rome. As all this develops, view everything Rome says and does in a context of ecumenism, and I believe it will make sense.

Romanists and apostates may seek unity with Islam, but BIBLE believing, born again Christians will stand on Christ ALONE, the BIBLE ALONE, His grace ALONE, and by faith ALONE! No Surrender - to either Rome or Islam.

Teaching Young Catholics via Harry Potter

Since the Roman Catholic Church seeks to use anything but the BIBLE in it's teaching, we should not be surprised by the Sept. 5 'Catholic News Service' article entitled, "N.Y. parish teaches gospel with the help of Harry Potter."

The article begins by saying, "Young wizards and witches came together at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Baldwinsville (New York) not for lessons in the dark arts, but lessons in the sacraments, creation, prayer, and social justice with the help of Harry Potter." This church is using Harry Potter books in their religious education program!

An example of what the Harry Potter books are all about can be found in a quote from 'Book 4' of the series. It says, "'I'm okay,' said Harry. It was sort of true; he was nervous, but kept running over all the hexes and spells he had been practicing in his mind as they walked, and the knowledge that he could remember them all made him feel better."

Well........so the young children at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish are being taught that remembering hexes and spells will make them feel better! What kind of a clergy would put this type of sorcery before young children? Answer - the Roman clergy. God abhors the techniques of the "dark arts," and does not need the help of a magic character to teach the gospel.

Wizards and witches, hexes and spells! Is this just some isolated Catholic doing? The Roman Church may be testing the waters here to see if their people will tolerate the blatant teaching of black magic. How do I know this has the approval of the Roman bishops?

1. Many Roman diocesan websites are linked to the 'Catholic News Service'.

2. The 'Catholic News Service' address is 3211 4th St. NE, Washington, DC, 20017. AND, the address for the national headquarters of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is 3211 4th St. NE, Washington, DC, 20017.

The BIBLE says in Deuteronomy 18:10-12, "THERE SHALL NOT BE FOUND AMONG YOU ANY ONE...THAT USETH DIVINATION, OR AN OBSERVER OF TIMES, OR AN ENCHANTER, OR A WITCH, OR A CHARMER, OR A CONSULTOR WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS, OR A WIZARD, OR A NECROMANCER. FOR ALL THAT DO THESE THINGS ARE AN ABOMINATION UNTO THE LORD..."

God has not changed His mind about wizards, witches, and necromancy, which is the contacting of the dead. By the way, the Catholic practice of "praying to the saints" is actually the sin of necromancy.

As I said earlier, we should not be surprised by this, because the whole Roman Church is built on the witchcraft of the mass - where a priest says the magic words, and "Viola!" The God of the universe takes the form of a wafer, and then people eat Him!

Sorcery has been around for a long time, from Simon the sorcerer in Acts 8 to your local Roman priest down the street today. As the Jesuits are fond of saying, "I hope this clears up any misunderstanding," as to what the Catholic Church teaches.

May the Lord protect those children being exposed to Harry Potter witchcraft. May the Lord also convict many Catholics of the sin of trusting in a church hierarchy that would push such wickedness upon the young, may they repent and forsake Romanism, and receive Christ by faith ALONE.

How to Handle "Jesus" in the Laundry

Since the development of idolatry depends on building lie upon lie, it's no surprise the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, Ohio is airing it's "dirty laundry" in a memorandum titled, 'The Care and Cleaning of Altar Linens.'

Because the "Jesus" of Rome (who is not at all the Jesus of the BIBLE), reduced to a state of liquid wine at the whim of a Roman priest, can be spilled and absorbed into various linens used at the altar and side altar during the mass, the care of such cloths is detailed in this memo.

For example, it says such cloth, "takes on a certain character both by the blessing it receives and the sacred function it fulfills," and, "are deserving of special respect." Also, "the manner in which we treat sacred things fosters and expresses our openness to the graces God gives to his church." Only the god of Rome could be impressed with the way a wine-stained cloth is handled!

However, the memo does not answer many handling and cleaning questions Catholics might have with regard to the linens the eucharistic "Jesus" (body, blood, soul, and divinity has been absorbed into: Does he prefer liquid or powder detergent? Does he like softeners? How about those really tough stains? Machine or hang drying? And if machine drying, can we use "Bounce?" Yes, what about static cling? Can he be dry cleaned? Does ironing hurt him? This is the logical conclusion that the devilish doctrine of the eucharist leads to - the Roman god stuck in a piece of cloth going through the spin cycle!

Finally, the memo says when these linens, "show signs of wear and can no longer be used, (they) should be normally disposed of by burial or burning." This is madness - going out back with a shovel and burying a worn piece of cloth. Or can this only be done in "consecrated" ground? The real Jesus of the BIBLE does not demand such foolishness. Ezekiel 13:3 says, "WOE UNTO THE FOOLISH PROPHETS, THAT FOLLOW THEIR OWN SPIRIT, AND HAVE SEEN NOTHING," - a good definition of the Roman priesthood! This, "Care and Cleaning of Altar Linens," is not from the heart of God but from the heart of man. I wonder what they do with the pope's old underwear?

1 John 5:21 says, "LITTLE CHILDREN, KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS." May Catholics heed the BIBLE'S warning about idolatry, confess the sin of belonging to a church that has it's god absorbed into a cloth, and may they forsake Romanism and receive the real Christ by faith ALONE.
