Does The The Roman Catholic Mass Satisfy The Justice of God or Did Jesus Christ Satisfy the Justice of God On the Cross?
Does the Roman Catholic Mass satisfy
the justice of God, or did Jesus Christ satisfy the justice of God on
the cross? Read this article and be AMAZED at the audacity of the Roman
Catholic Church to teach what they do, concerning their Catholic Mass!
When we talk about deception, we are
talking about being deceived, and that is why I speak out against the
deception of the Roman Catholic Church and their false teachings. Many
Catholics complain about their teachings being misrepresented, so I will
be quoting from their own Roman Catholic Catechism and then compare it to the scriptures (Bible) to show you that their Mass
is a totally false teaching. Why do I speak out against the doctrine of
the Roman Catholic Mass? As a former Roman Catholic I speak out for the
following reasons:
2] The Mass is a false doctrine propagated by a false church.
3] Many Evangelical Christian “leaders” have promoted unity with Roman Catholicism (thereby endorsing their false gospel, Galatians 1:8,9).
The Bible warns us about seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.
Now the Spirit
speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the
faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (1 Timothy 4:1)
The Roman Catholic Mass is a doctrine of devils.
The Bible tells us that we, as Christians, should contend for the faith.
” . . . ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” (Jude 1:3)
(A) What Is The Mass? (According To Rome)
Here I will use Roman Catholic teaching
from the New Saint Joseph Catechism, that bears the RC Imprimatur, which
signifies that the doctrine within the Catechism has been approved by
the Roman Catholic Church.
- The New Saint Joseph Baltimore Catechism
As you can see, the Mass is referred to as a SACRIFICE, in which CHRIST offers Himself to God, in an UNBLOODY MANNER.
Folks, that is absolute heresy.
The Bible makes it clear that it is the BLOOD that makes an atonement for the soul!
For the LIFE of the FLESH is in the BLOOD: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an ATONEMENT for your SOULS: for it is the BLOOD that maketh an ATONEMENT for the SOUL. (Leviticus 17:11)
(B) The Mass Is The Perfect Sacrifice Continued
Right before Jesus died and gave His last breath He cried out ” . . . IT IS FINISHED . . .” [John 19:30] The perfect sacrifice has been perfectly FINISHED, and it need NOT be OFFERED up on a daily basis on the ALTARS of Roman Catholic Churches throughout the world!(C) Purposes Of The Mass
- Purposes Of The Roman Catholic Mass
If you take a look at the fourth item on the list, you will see that one of the purposes of the Mass is to SATISFY the justice of God, for the SINS committed against Him.
Folks, that is more heresy. The Bible
tells me that the justice of God was satisfied when Jesus Christ died on
the cross, almost two thousand years ago. The Bible lets each and every
SINNER (myself included) and every other person in the world know that they can be JUSTIFIED by the BLOOD that Jesus shed for them!
The apostle Paul, a former persecutor
and murderer of Christians, wrote the following, and it ended up in the
Bible for a reason:
For when we were yet without strength, in due time CHRIST died for the UNGODLY. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But GOD commendeth his LOVE toward US, in that, while WE were yet SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. Much more then, being NOW JUSTIFIED by HIS BLOOD, we shall be SAVED from WRATH through HIM. For if, when we were enemies, we were RECONCILED to GOD by the DEATH of his SON, much more, being RECONCILED, we shall be SAVED by HIS LIFE. (Romans 5:6-10)
The greatest NEWS in the world is that CHRIST died for the UNGODLY, and the motive behind the DEATH of the Son of God was GOD’S PURE UNADULTERATED LOVE TOWARD MANKIND! Any person in the world, no matter what color, race, male, female, rich or poor has the opportunity to receive SALVATION through Jesus Christ, and be JUSTIFIED by His BLOOD, before God. Why? Because every single one of us fits very comfortably into the category of UNGODLY! My Bible tells me that I have been RECONCILED back to God already, through FAITH in Jesus Christ, and I have NO NEED for a Roman Catholic Mass to be offered for me.
(D) Mass Cards
Mass cards can be obtained, for a donation, to have a Catholic Mass offered for a person living or DEAD!
In the illustration above, you can see
that a donation of $5 will allow a person to have one Catholic Mass
offered for them, and a donation of $45 will allow nine separate Masses
to be offered for the DECEASED (DEAD) person. The purpose of the Catholic Mass for the DEAD
person is for the repose (rest) of their soul. The Catholic Church
teaches about a place called Purgatory, a place where the soul will
remain for an undetermined amount of time before they go to Heaven. The
Mass card is for their benefit, and it can shorten their time in
Purgatory! Folks, there is no such place called Purgatory, and there is NO MENTION of it in the scriptures (Bible)! Jesus Christ preached about HEAVEN and HELL, and he said that a person was either SAVED or DAMNED, with no mention of Purgatory at all!
In the illustration below, you can see
that a person can have seven Catholic Masses offered up for them every
single day, and they can also share in the “good works” of others.
The Bible tells us that salvation cannot be earned by “good works” lest any man boast.
For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should BOAST. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
That is why I speak out against the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church.
For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the JEW and the Greek (Gentile): for the same LORD over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be SAVED. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a PREACHER? And how shall they PREACH, except they be sent? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the feet of them that PREACH the GOSPEL of PEACE, and bring GLAD TIDINGS of good things! (Romans 10:12-15)
YOU TUBE VIDEO: SATAN’S MASTERPIECE: THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
5 Mexican Pastors Declare: “Twelve Years Of Work Destroyed In One Night” After Billy Graham Sent The Roman Catholics Back To Their Own Catholic Churches!
Here is an excerpt from the book “Smokescreens”
which was published 30 years ago by Jack Chick, and it should be on the
required reading list of EVERY true Christian. I am convinced that if
this book were read from the pulpits of America, many leaders would be
EXPOSED for the WOLVES that they are, and many Pastors would be out of a
job.
“A few years ago, 5 pastors from Mexico came to see me, asking for help. They told me I must talk to Billy Graham. I told them that was impossible, I was just a little tract publisher. Then they told me Billy Graham had destroyed their churches. They said he held a crusade, and told all those who had received Christ to go back to their original churches and win those people to Christ. The pastors told me their people followed Billy’s instruction and all went back to the Roman Catholic system. Twelve years of work destroyed in one night.” [Smokescreens, Chick Publications, 1983 by Jack Chick page 58]
This is just a small excerpt from that
book by Jack Chick and I publish this to make you aware of what has been
happening for decades in the modern day compromising church. I became a
Christian in 1989, and I worked as a counselor, along with my wife
Cathy, at the Billy Graham Crusade in 1991 in Central Park in New York
City.
After the message was delivered by Billy
Graham, people were instructed to raise their hands if they wanted more
information, and the counselors would help them in filling out their
decision cards. Cathy helped a woman fill out her card and the woman
wrote down the name of her local Roman Catholic Church, to which she
would be sent back. Cathy felt horrible, and needless to say we started
speaking out and warning others about the deception in the Billy Graham
ministry. We have spoken to many Christians over the years, including
many pastors and the reaction seems to be pretty much the same. People
simply are not interested in hearing what you have to say. There is a
sort of glaze that comes over their countenance that is almost demonic.
It is as if they cannot deal with the truth that a person so well known
as Billy Graham could possibly be wrong. Here is a LINK
to a recent video that I put up about Billy Graham, and his removing
the warnings about Rome from His crusade edition of Halley’s Bible
Handbook.
The Trojan Horse Of False Unity
The call of the modern day “church” is
for unity, and people believe that you are destroying the unity of the
body of Jesus Christ when you speak out against the compromisers of
today. There is in fact a true unity, and that unity is in Jesus Christ
alone. A person is not even a member of the TRUE body of Christ, until,
and unless, they have been born again of the Spirit of the living God.
[John 3:1-8] What does that mean? I will tell you what that means. That
means a person who has never become a new creation in Jesus Christ, by
way of the new birth, is as lost as the worst criminal on planet earth.
That is the Gospel truth. A person without the Holy Spirit does not
belong to God!
But ye are not
in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell
in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
(Romans 8:9)
I did not have the Spirit of Christ
while I was in the Roman Catholic Church. They teach their people that a
person is born again at baptism, and they talk about the sacrament of
Confirmation as marking the Christian with the seal of the Holy Spirit
and clothing him with the power from on high. I speak from experience
and I assure you that I did not receive any power, nor did I receive
Christ at the sacrament of Confirmation. Why? Simply because the Lord
was not, and cannot, be involved with such false teaching. I received
the sacrament of baptism inside the Roman Catholic Church, as well as
the sacrament of Confirmation, and I received no power and no seal of
the Holy Spirit. I did not receive the Holy Spirit until I heard the
word of God preached in truth from the Bible, and I believed it. I knew
then that God was real, and I knew that Jesus Christ died on the cross
for my sins, and that I had been justified by HIS BLOOD! [Romans
5:6-10]. I also realized that I was sitting under the sound of a false
Gospel in the Roman Catholic Church. It was the Holy Spirit (of truth)
who opened my eyes, and He will open your eyes also. The Holy Spirit is
also known as the Spirit of truth, and He is the one (a person, not a
force) who will guide us into all truth.
Howbeit when
he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for
he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall
he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for
he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (John 16:13-14)
It is that same Spirit of truth that
yanked my wife Cathy and I out of the deceptive and false system of
Roman Catholicism, and that is why I continue to speak out against Rome
to this day. Many have been seduced by the trojan horse of false unity.
They listen to “smooth talking” preachers who appear to be loving, but
they end up promoting a false gospel in the process. They are able to
get over on most of the people in their congregations, and a few might
see the deception, but rarely will they utter a peep, for fear of being
put out of the “church.” So here I am preaching the true Gospel, and
warning others to flee from that FALSE CHURCH, and the airwaves are
FILLED with the modern day WOLVES, who are working hand in hand with
them! I did a short YouTube video on the compromise of the Trinity
Broadcasting Network with the FALSE CHURCH of Roman Catholicism, which
you can VIEW HERE.
In that video, you will be able to see
how TBN promotes and sells “tons” of Roman Catholic materials including
books about the Catholic Mass, and how to pray the rosary which are
mainly “Hail Mary” prayers. And you wonder if there is apostasy in the
church! You have got to be kidding me. With all the “anointed” men and
women of God” that go on that program, should there not be at least one
of them, that raises the roof against such nonsense? Is this a church or
is it a circus?
Now the Spirit
speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the
faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (1
Timothy 4:1)
For the mystery
of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until
he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy
with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the
working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with
all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they
received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for
this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe
a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but
had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:7-12)
The Satanic Seduction By The Roman Catholic Church In The Last Days! (Wake Up Before It Is Too Late!)
Back in 2005 there was a Pastor who
was fired from his job as host on a Christian radio program, because of
something that he said on the air. Here is an excerpt from an article
from Charisma Now:
“Marty Minto 39, a senior Pastor of the 100 member, Turning Point Community Church in New Castle, was fired earlier this month after three years as a host on WORD-FM in Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported . . . Minto said he was told he was ‘alienating listeners’ . . . After the April 2, death and funeral of the Pope, Minto discussed with callers John Paul ll’s deep devotion to Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Catholic beliefs, such as Purgatory . . . I made it clear that the discussion was not an attack on the character of the Pope but rather a look at the teachings – not only of John Paul ll, but of the Catholic Church, Minto said. Minto said he responded to the question about whether the Pope, would go to Heaven with the belief held by many evangelicals that a person must be a born-again believer. [Charisma Now April 21,2005 Online Edition]
Now there was absolutely nothing wrong
with what Pastor Minto discussed on his radio program that day. I mean
after all, we are supposed to be preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
and we are constantly making it clear to people that the wages of sin is
death, and that there is a Heaven and a Hell. Pastor Minto was told
that he was ‘alienating listeners’ but that is to be expected, because
the true Gospel has always brought confrontation and division, even as
Jesus Christ promised it would:
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. (Matthew 10:32-38)
Pastor Minto is one of a rare breed in
this day of apostasy, mixture and compromise. Pastor Minto simply
counted the cost, and then he simply spoke the truth, which is what
every Christian is supposed to do. His view was diamatrically opposed to
the mainstream “Christian” view that does not make waves, lest their
ecumenical apple cart of compromise should be disturbed.
I was not surprised by the statement that Pat Robertson (700 Club) made after the death of Pope John Paul ll:
“I am deeply grieved as a great man passes from this world to his much deserved eternal reward. John Paul ll has been the most beloved religious leader of our age – far surpassing in popular admiration the leader of any faith … I pray for the Cardinals of the Catholic Church that they might have God-given wisdom in selecting the successor to this great man . . . ” [CBN.com Virginia Beach, VA - April 2, 2005]
The late Chuck Colson of Prison
Fellowship was another well known ecumenical compromiser, and one of the
main people involved in the ECT (Evangelicals and Catholics Together)
document of 1994. Chuck made this statement after the death of Pope John
Paul ll:
“Pope John Paul ll was one of the truly heroic figures of the 20th Century … I had the honor of meeting his Holiness, and I have been part of a collaborative fellowship called Evangelicals and Catholics Together … “[Prison Fellowship Newsroom, Press Kit, Washington, April 2,2005]
What an incredible contrast are the
statements of Pat Robertson and Chuck Colson, compared to that which was
spoken by Pastor Minto, who was fired from his radio program. I believe
that there will be much more of this type of thing happening in the
coming days, as the apostasy snowball gathers incredible speed.
Dr Henry Halley was a man who had a
strong conviction that everyone ought to read the Bible. He is best
known as being the author of the ”Halley’s Bible Handbook” which
has sold over 5 million copies over the years. Halley’s Bible handbook
started out as a 16 page booklet and it ultimately grew into a 864 page
almanac of Biblical information. Near the back of that book there is a
small section (pages 757-804) on Church History, which contains the true
history of the gross wickedness of the Popes and the Papal
persecutions. It also contains the history of those who rebelled against
Rome, and sought to reform it. Here are some excerpts from Dr Halley’s
book:
“The Papacy’s methods: It brought itself to power through the prestige of Rome, and the name of Christ, and by shrewd political alliances, and by deception, and by armed force; and by Armed Force and Bloodshed has maintained itself in power.”
“The story of the Papacy has been written as a background to the Reformation, in the belief that we ought to be familiar with the wherefore of the Protestant movement and the Historical foundations of our Protestant Faith. Some of the things told herein seem Unbelievable. It seems inconceivable that men could take the religion of Christ and develop it into an Unscrupulous Political Machine on which to ride to World Power. However, all the statements made herein may be verified by reference to any of the complete Church Histories.” [Halley's Bible Handbook, 24th Edition, Zondervan Publishers, pages 783-784]
In her well documented book entitled “Billy Graham And His Friends” Dr. Cathy Burns wrote the following concerning the well known Evangelist, Billy Graham:
“Not only does Graham not attack the falseness in the Catholic Church, but he even protects the wrong. For instance . . . around 1961, Billy Graham bought the rights to Halley’s Pocket Bible Handbook. The original Halley’s up until the 22nd Edition (1959), warned about the Jesuits. There are chapters about the Roman Papacy, and the Jesuits. According to Mrs Halley, Mr Halley spent years working on those chapters and never would have permitted the book to be changed. However when he died, Billy Graham bought the rights, and REMOVED all the research and warning about the Jesuits in the editions Billy Graham printed.” [Billy Graham and His Friends, 2001, by Dr. Cathy Burns published by Sharing]
I went online to see if I could get a
hold of a copy of the Billy Graham Edition, which Cathy Burns had
mentioned in her book. I found the book online (Billy Graham Crusade
Edition 1962) and purchased it at an excellent price, just to see if
what she wrote about was true. I already owned a hard cover copy of
Halley’s Handbook which contains the information about Rome, and I
compared that book with the Billy Graham edition and sure enough, that
WHOLE SECTION on Church History was missing! All of the information on
the Papal persecutions and the history of the Popes was nowhere to be
found. It was as if those pages never existed in that handbook! Watch
This VIDEO ON SAME TOPIC!
My wife Cathy and I trained and worked
as Christian Counselors for the 1991 Billy Graham Crusade in Central
Park, New York City. When a person makes a “decision” for
Christ at the end of the meeting they are given a card to fill out by
the Counselors. Cathy gave a card to one young lady who had raised her
hand, and the lady filled out the card, and put down her local Roman
Catholic Church on the card. The Billy Graham organization will then
send that lady back to that very same church.
A fisherman will often use what is known as a “lure” to try to catch fish. Some of the “lures” that I have seen in the stores are very colorful and attractive. They are made that way because the purpose of the “lure”
is to entice and snare the fish, through the promise of the bait. The
fish is not aware of the very sharp hook that hides beneath the soft
colorful brushlike hairs which hide it very well. Christians are being
“lured” into a FALSE and very dangerous UNITY with the system known as
Roman Catholicism. The undiscerning Christian is totally unaware of the
deceitful “hook” that is hiding under the “lure” of the colorful UNITY of ALL “Christians”
and ultimately ALL religions. They are ignorant and unaware that this
DEMONIC deception is geared to the very destruction of their own eternal
soul. We would do well to remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which he spoke before he was killed:
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives,
the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these
things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of
the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man
deceive you. (Matthew 24:3-4)
