Of course I answered the question!

Christ IS risen!

Alleluia!


Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist! And He wants all to come to Him and believe...

But there are some of you who do not believe." Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him.

And he said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father."

As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him.

So it's not Jesus the Word, but the wafer you trust in.

It's not Christ the mediator, but Mary you believe in.

Your religion is a substitution for Jesus. Everything has been substituted for the Word by the creation of men.

It is impossible to keep up with one falsehood after another. Your religion is bashing Catholicism with lies, and you don't address the points offered. Good bye.

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit exposes and condemns the pagan practices of Roman Catholicism.

You can read all about it in the Gospel of John and the Apostles letters

Why don't you believe Him?
You can stop asking me "why I don't believe Him", because I do believe Him. What I don't believe is your doctrines taught by your religious cult that are based on twisting The Word of God. It's your substituting of the Word of God with lies that I don't believe.

Jesus I do believe:

John 10
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

5 And they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.

You are the stranger in the above parable.
You are not Christ, and you are not a shepherd of Christ's flock while you propagate the lies based on twisting the Word of God that the religious cult you adhere to propagates.

Jesus did not take the flesh of the Passover lamb and give that to His disciples. He took the unleavened bread, broke it, and gave it to His disciples saying "Take, eat, this is my body, given for you". Why?

It's because bread is a metaphor for the Word of God - one of the metaphors for the life of God imparted by Christ, the living Word:

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

John 6
63 It is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and are life.

John 15
7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you.
8 In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples.

John 5
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes on Him who sent Me has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death to life.

John 12
48 He who rejects Me and does not receive My words has one who judges him; the Word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of Myself, but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that His command is life everlasting. Therefore whatever I speak, even as the Father said to Me, so I speak.

John 6
33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from Heaven and gives life to the world.
34 Then they said to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes on Me shall never thirst.

Jesus is the Word of God and is called the water of life, the bread of life, the light of the world (metaphors).

He gave His life, His body for us, bearing our sin in His own body on the cross, shedding His blood, and dying. And He gave the unleavened bread to symbolize this fact.

He said, "unless you eat my flesh.." Then He said, "It is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and are life."

Afterward He took unleavened bread, broke it, and gave it to His disciples saying, "This is my body.."

The unleavened bread represents His body. Jesus did not cut a piece of His flesh out of his thigh and give it to them to eat. Nor did He take the flesh of the Passover lamb and give it to them to represent His flesh.

You say He was talking about actually eating His actual flesh, though He Himself made it 100% abundantly clear long before that, and immediately after that as to what He meant - and He was not talking about actually eating His flesh.

But it was a test. And those who turned aside and followed Him no more that day failed. You fail too, because you follow the man-made religious cult based on men twisting His words.

You believe in the things you have substituted for the light, the truth, the Word of God.

So you can stop asking me "why I don't believe Him", because I do believe Him.

And before you accuse me of getting personal or making a personal attack, consider both the personal attack you repeatedly made now against me by falsely accusing me of not believing Jesus, and implying that I'm not part of the bride of Christ merely because I don't believe your twisting of the Word of God, and consider the spirit behind your false accusations who I am replying to, because your words when you falsely accuse me of not believing Jesus are not prompted by the Spirit of Christ, but by the spirit behind your false doctrine.

You can continue to defend your substitution for the Word of God all you like. You can continue to convince yourself that you believe Jesus. But the rest of us who do not follow the religious cult you follow know His voice, the voice of the Good Shepherd. We do not hear your voice. You may think that with your voice you can shout louder than the still, small voice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, but you bluff yourself. His voice will always remain infinitely more powerful than yours.

All the signs of your substitution for the Word of God (the truth and the light) are there in your cult:

Your substitution of Mary for the one and only Mediator between God and man - the man Christ Jesus; your substitution of the vile doctrine of the bread wafer turning into the actual flesh of Christ for the pure symbol of the unleavened bread; your substitution of the worship and veneration of Christ and God the Father alone for all the idolatrous images and statues of Mary, patron saints and other deceased people that you teach people to pray to.

The signs of the harlotry of Rome's pride are all there and scream out loud.​

This is not discussion, it's persecution. BlessedPeace, can Satan cast out Satan? Can such a house so divided stand for 1 day, let alone 2000 years? The first photo is take from the very back on an extremely wide angle lens, which causes a lot of barrel distortion. No one walking into the building is gonna get that impression, and the external views only give off that impression because of the comparisons to snakes and the first pic. In other words, the author is deceiving.
You promote bigotry and intolerance with such a misleading video. Seventh Day Adventists have plenty of similar videos bearing false witness. Welcome to my iggy bin. Good bye.

If it is fact.... and it is.... this certainly should not be of an area where Christ's earthly "Head of Church" should be meeting and greeting worshippers of Christ Jesus.

Good Morning Illuminator,

Yourself and @Philip James are being GREATLY BLESSED here with the love and sharing of Truth that is being poured out to you.

These videos, pictures and documents are for your BENEFIT to help you SEE the "false apostles" as warned by Christ and the Apostles.

"Today, if you hear His Voice, harden not your hearts" = Today is the Day of Salvation and this Great Salvation is only found in the LORD Jesus Christ. = Read Hebrews

"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” - Acts 4:12

You can ignore me however,the topic continues.

The Catholic Church was founded in 590 CE, with Pope Gregory Ist, not Apostle Peter.

False witness is a false charge. Unless you're calling the Catholic priest in the videos a liar.

Why should they?

What the believe is not even in God's Word because catholicism is a cult.




And heed not the drunk Martin Luther either!




I'll stick with follow Jesus.... all others are posers unless they are saying what Jesus says and what Jesus said thru His New Testament Apostles.




Please explain why Jesus and His Apostles never embraced infant baptism in God's Word?

Only adults were baptized after they believed in God's Word.
BTW. I am not Catholic...

Prove it.

Acts 16:15 And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.

Acts 16:33 And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household.

1 Corinthians 1:16 Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

Prove that the households mentioned here had no young children or babes.



Squirting water on babies doesn't do anything...

Jewish people do not celebrate the Beginning of their New Year with Nissan/Passover because they are always seeking to establish their own righteousness before God = avoid the Blood of the Lamb.
They have been without their Temple for 2,000 years, so they go about making up their own religious code to avoid the stark reality of what happened to their great loss.

Romans 10:1-3
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Time for a hard truth . but it is truly meant for the good of all .
What the jews did and became , the RCC has followed suit . THEY BOTH HARLOTS . AVOID them chambers at all cost .
BUT the RCC works not alone . many chambers within the protestant realm work for and are under the guise
of THE HARLOT . ITS TIME WE BIBLE UP . AND FAST TOO . now raise those hands my friend .
Just as the jews once held torah , YET DID NOT FOLLOW TORAH or the PROPHETS
so too did the RCC come along and make the same claim we HOLD TORAH and the bible . YET THEY TOO
did not KNOW IT . SURE they could recopy it just like the jews could recopy torah , ONLY WITH MOST GOD WAS NOT WELL PLEASED .
The RCC too makes the claim WE HOLD THE SCRIPTURE , ITS DUE TO US that any of you even still have it .
ONLY HEED THEMNOT . cause they DONT HEED IT , they teach in place for it MENS PRECEPTS .
AND again they aint alone , many in the protestant realm make the claim they too HOLD TO SCRIPTURE
only THEY TOO teach for doctrine the precepts of men . WE GOTTA BIBLE UP FOR OURSELVES MY FRIEND .
I HAVE NEVER SEEN the level of delusion getting bought , sold and accepted Within the realm called christanity
as i DO TODAY . ITS GOTTEN WORSE than when i first beleived david . WAY WORSE .
By grace i was drawn to CHRIST seventeen years ago . DELUSION was rampant even then
BUT ITS MORPHED MASSIVE even since then and VERY FAST TOO . WE ARE HEADED WITH GREAT SPEED
to that FINAL HOUR , THAT great tribulation , THE END of it all .

The rabbi who visits my home waived the chicken blood for Yom Kipper - i told him it did not count/satisfy God's requirement

PS - He did not do this at our home as the above sentence may suggest.
The best of goats blood or of bulls and heifers ,
bear with this my friend .
Ten trillion gallons of the blood of the most perfect bulls , heifers and goats could never even pale , even pale in comparision
to a microsocpic pin prick of THE BLOOD OF JESUS . them bulls and goats cannot DO what JESUS DID .
And the jews and all NEED TO KNOW THAT FAST . Now raise those hands .
The jews claim to hold to moses , they claim to hold to torah and the law , they claim to hold to abraham .
AND YET MOSES SPOKE OF CHRIST , THE LAW AND TORAH SPEAKS OF CHRIST and ABRAHAM SEEN HIS DAY .
WHEN GOD said ABRAHAM BELEIVED .
Yet muslims and unbeliving jews and gentiles who claim this or that claim they follow and beleive GOD .
KNOW THEY DONT . JUST KNOW THEY DO NOT .
AND allow me to explain why they dont .
WHEN GOD SPOKE ABRAHAM BELIEVED . WHEN JESUS SPEAKS , THEY DONT . OOPSY THEY DONT BELIEVE GOD NOW DO THEY .
YOU SEE IF a man cannot BELIEVE THE TESTIMONY THAT GOD GAVE OF HIS SON , THEN BELIEVE YOU ME THEY DONT BELIEVE GOD
THEY DO NOT HAVE THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM . THEY DO NOT FOLLOW MOSES , for MOSES SPOKE OF CHRIST
THEY ARE LOST and still in darkness . IF A MAN BELIEVETH NOT the TESTIMONY that GOD GAVE OF HIS SON
THEY NOT ONLY DONT BELIEVE GOD , and this did not do abraham , THEY ARE CALLING GOD A LIAR . JOHN was right .
IF THEY BELIEVE NOT the TESTIMONY OF GOD that HE gave about the SON then they DO NOT BELIEVE GOD .
IF THEY RECIEVE NOT OUR TESTIMONY about CHRIST , THEY REJECT CHRIST , IF THEY REJECT CHRIST
WHO YOU THINK THEY JUST REJECTED . this lamb keeps things real simple .

He took the unleavened bread, broke it, and gave it to His disciples saying "Take, eat, this is my body, given for you". Why?

My dear FoG,

Because He said He would!

the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.

The signs of the harlotry of Rome's pride are all there and scream out loud.

Men have taught you to fear the Feast, but Jesus waits for you at every celebration of the Divine Liturgy. Waiting to be intimately united with you and you through Him with all your brothers and sisters..

Because the loaf of bread is one, we, though many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf.

But if Rome is your stumbling block, then come to the Feast with Alexandria! Come with Constantinople!
But Come!

All are welcome to come to the wedding Feast of the Lamb of God!

The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Let the hearer say, "Come." Let the one who thirsts come forward, and the one who wants it receive the gift of life-giving water.

Pax et Bonum

What a preposterous statement..

Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude[of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid.

That was written circa 100 AD so you're off by at least 500 years or so...

You can cite any modern 'source' you like. I'll stick with the Bishop of Antioch who learned these things from the apostle John, was ordained by the apostles, and commended by Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna.

"To the angel of the church in Smyrna, write this: " 'The first and the last, who once died but came to life, says this:

"I know your tribulation and poverty, but you are rich. 9 I know the slander of those who claim to be Jews and are not, but rather are members of the assembly of Satan.

Do not be afraid of anything that you are going to suffer. Indeed, the devil will throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will face an ordeal for ten days. Remain faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.


So then, Jesus commends Smyrna and Smyrna commends Antioch..

Pax et Bonum
