3 thoughts on “The Restless | This is the Day”
  1. Roman Catholicism IS NOT CHRISTIAN, never has been, nor ever will be a Christian denomination! The official dogmas of this religious system deny the fundamental doctrines of historic Christianity. These are; Salvation is by Grace alone, through Faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone, as described in the Bible alone, to the Glory of God alone.
    The Bible is absolutely clear about the Gospel. God is Holy, man is born in sin. No amount of “good works”, including giving to the poor, attending church services, praying to “saints”, praying to Mary, rosary beads, candles, confession, so called “priests”, infant baptism, doing the sacraments, and numerous other rituals demanded by the Roman authorities will satisfy the wrath of God against sinners. This false “church” had the arrogance to remove the 2nd Commandment in order to justify their pagan statue worship.
    The Roman Catholic Church in the Catholic Catechism teaches that we can merit grace necessary for salvation and that eternal life is attained by faith, baptism, and keeping the commandments, which this demonic religion had the audacity to alter by eliminating the 2nd Commandment of “no graven images”. They also arrogantly added 7 to 11 books at the council of Trent in the 1,500’s which were NEVER considered to be Scripture and often contradict the True Word of God.
    1. CCC 2010, “…Moved by the Holy Spirit and by charity, we can then merit for ourselves and for others the graces needed for our sanctification, for the increase of grace and charity, and for the attainment of eternal life.”
    2. CCC 2027, “Moved by the Holy Spirit, we can merit for ourselves and for others all the graces needed to attain eternal life, as well as necessary temporal goods.”
    3. CCC 2068, “The Council of Trent teaches that the Ten Commandments are obligatory for Christians and that the justified man is still bound to keep them;28 the Second Vatican Council confirms: “The bishops, successors of the apostles, receive from the Lord . . . the mission of teaching all peoples, and of preaching the Gospel to every creature, so that all men may attain salvation through faith, Baptism and the observance of the Commandments.”
    4. Paragraph 85 says “The task of giving an authentic interpretation of the Word of God, whether in its written form or in the form of Tradition, has been entrusted to the living teaching office of the Church alone. Its authority in this matter is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ.”47 This means that the task of interpretation has been entrusted to the bishops in communion with the successor of Peter, the Bishop of Rome.
    This obviously faulty teaching in the CCC is hugely problematic since it contradicts Scripture.
    1. Rom. 3:28-30, “For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.”
    2. Rom. 4:3, “For what does the Scripture say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.”
    3. Rom. 4:5, “But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness,”
    4. Rom. 5:1, “therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
    5. Rom. 11:6, “But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.”
    6. Gal. 2:16, “nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified.”
    Why is the RCC teaching that you attain salvation through observing the commandments when the Bible says we are saved apart from the works of the Law (Rom. 3:28-30; 4:5; Gal. 2:16)?
    Why would the Roman Catholic Church teach that you merit for yourself the grace needed for eternal life when that clearly contradicts Rom 11:6?
    The Catholic religion, as defined by its own doctrine, denies many of the fundamental precepts of the historic Christian faith. More importantly, the Gospel itself. The bible clearly teaches that salvation from sin is by Grace alone, through Faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in the Bible alone, to the Glory of God alone. Rome, in several councils including Trent and Vatican II, flatly contradict this beautiful Truth. Shall I speak of idolatrous statues, prayers to dead people, Mary worship, pagan Rosary Beads, a false “priesthood”, the “god wafer”, and the blasphemy of the “mass”, and much more.
    Escape as I did, before you die and face God in Judgment for your sin.
    There is a great deal wrong with what the RCC teaches. We must look to God’s word and not to what the RCC says we must do to be saved. Our salvation is not merited by our keeping the commandments! The Roman Catholic Church needs to repent.
    Salvation is achieved by the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ, God in human flesh, who died on the cross and rose again to pay the sin debt for all who were chosen from before time to be His people. It is faith in Jesus alone which saves you.
    In addition, the Roman Catholic religions is responsible for murdering untold millions of true bible believers who refused to agree with it’s heretical beliefs and practices.
    By God’s Grace I was “born again” after 40 years as a devout follower of the pope and all Rome’s teachings. I blindly trusted all the “priests”, nuns, “bishops” and family members without question.
    Then I read the Bible. I urge all Roman Catholics to read the Bible and to trust the Bible alone to be the source of Truth. I encourage you to question everything you have been taught regarding the false religious system of Roman Catholicism.
    Jesus promised, “you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free” (John 8:32)
