    Why do you reject authority?

    History tells us all about those who aspired to be Pope murdered others to get the role, and that at one stage of history there were two competing popes. Even in more modern times Pope John Paul I was poisoned because he was determined to bring sweeping reforms to the Vatican, and those who...

    Why do you reject authority?

    My father would have said to him: "You have lost the debate because you raised your voice!" And he would have been right. A priest has no authority, because his role passed into history when Jesus died on the cross. The role of a priest is to mediate between people and God, but now there is...

    Why do you reject authority?

    I now attend a small Union (Methodist/Presbyterian) church with six old ladies, one gentleman, and the part-time minister. All I did when I started with them, was to join the team. We have several visiting ministries who come twice a month - a mixture of liberal and conservative preachers...

    Why do you reject authority?

    Jesus gave instructions about following the authority of those who "sit in the seat of Moses": "Do what they say, but not what they do" (Matthew 23:3). Also, very interestingly, Jesus gave authority to believers over sickness and demons, but He never included authority over persons. I have...

    Why do you reject authority?

    I think it needs to be made clear that the RCC church is not the church that Christ started 2,000 years ago.

    Where does the Bible say...

    The Scripture says that if we are friends with the world, we are no friends of God.

    Where does the Bible say...

    Egypt is often seen in the Bible as this world as opposed to God. The Scripture that comes to mind is: "Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of...

    Where does the Bible say...

    The Pope is a total fraud and nothing he says, either personal or as official teaching, has any weight for genuine believers in Christ. He's just an ordinary sinner like all the rest of us, but has a fancy title and dresses up in religious vestments and conducts himself as if he is the true...

    Where does the Bible say...

    But the Mary that is worshiped as the Queen of Heaven is not the real Virgin Mary at all, but is a pagan goddess tarted up to look like Mary. This is what a deception is - to fool people into believing they are worshiping a truly divine figure as the mother of God. A trapper is not going to...

    Where does the Bible say...

    Therefore, my warning to those who worship Mary are actually worshiping a pagan goddess, is acting like a true watchman to ensure that God won't require the blood of those who end up in hell because of their dependence on a pagan entity instead of on Christ, on my hands.

    Where does the Bible say...

    So, calling out a belief system that bases one's consent for salvation is on a pagan goddess called "The Queen of Heaven", tarted up to look like the Virgin Mary to deceive people by putting Christ in second place to this demonised pagan deity, is offense?

    Why do you reject authority?

    The true church is made up of all those who have embraced Christ as Saviour and Lord. The religious organisations are not the true church. They are the "scaffolding" that supports the true church. Any organisation that purports to be the Church established by Christ is a fraudulent...

    What Do You Think About The Vaticans 2020 Nativity Scene? WOW

    it is a pagan structure which would be quite common in any pagan temple in the third world.

    Where does the Bible say...

    The problem is that the church that subscribes to the Council of Trent is a paganised, fraudulent cult, infested with homosexuality at the highest levels. There will be JWs and Mormons who will get to heaven before this crowd.

    God declares Her Blessed!

    This is a lie. Not what the passage says. The fraudulent cult which worships the Queen of Heaven is actually worshiping a pagan entity. Most probably a demon disguised as a pagan version of Mary. Another lie. Mary is not described as immaculate in the reference, nor pure and holy. The...

    Why do you reject authority?

    If the witnesses are part of a fraudulent cult, then are those witnesses valid? And just because someone gets hands laid on them, who has the authority to lay the hands, and who has the authority to say that God has sent them to commission a person into leadership? If those who commission...

    Why do you reject authority?

    Real authority has to be earned. If a person says, "I have authority. You must obey me," it means they have no true authority at all. A good leader has proved himself by experience and maturity, and the skill of leadership, having earned the respect of those he works with in the church...

    Why do you reject authority?

    It all depends on what basis is the authority. The type of authority that is often seen in churches is merely a form of spiritual abuse and control that has the attitude, "I am more important than you so you are to do as I say". It often comes from an arrogant person who by manipulation gets...

    matthew7:1-2

    The Scripture says that he who is spiritual judges all things, but is judged of no man (1 Corinthians 2:15). The Apostles to the Hebrews says, "But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil" (Hebrews...

    ON THE FENCE ABOUT REPENTANCE?

    The only way you can learn about God is through Jesus Christ. Take Jesus away and one's god is just a figment of the imagination, just like all the pagan gods in the world.
