All who trust the catholic religion are worshiping at the altar of idols and will forever be bound, haunted by demons until they repent and believe on the LORD Jesus Christ for the salvation He alone died to give them (Deuteronomy 32:17; 1 Corinthians 10:19-21).

“What must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:30-31

“I was born catholic and I will die catholic!” is a phrase I heard often growing up in New Orleans. These are people who were initiated into (sprinkling rites at 8 days old) and personally vowed, swore their eternal souls to this false religion.

“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:17-18

Religion is Satan’s greatest tool and was Jesus’ worst enemy when He walked the earth (Matthew 23). No such thing as a catholic who is Heaven-bound! Idolatry is a soul damning abomination to the Almighty and if you need to repent right now for misleading catholics into thinking they’re save, please do so. Any catholic who gets saved IS coming out (Matthew 6:24; 1 Corinthians 10:21; 2 Corinthians 6:17-18; Revelation 18:4, etc.). 

The catholic church prides itself on it’s traditions. Yet, those traditions are not biblical.

The catholic church, laden with completely un-biblical traditions, vainly attempts to claim their basis for such based on this verse above. Laughable. Catholic traditions completely contradict Scripture. For example, can anyone find a scapular, a rosary, a novena prayer, a prayer to Mary, purgatory, holy days of obligation, a mass, or a so-called “pope” in God’s Word? No. Not one.

Did even 1 person pray to Mary in the Bible? Not 1. Mary can’t hear any prayer. Mary was only a mere woman, a sinner. Mary was NOT divine. Mary was not the Savior. Mary died for no one, opened no blinded eyes, Mary didn’t walk on water, Mary cannot forgive sin, or raise the dead. ONLY Jesus can do that. Repent now of your idolatry. There is no purgatory.

NO such thing as a Heaven-bound catholic. Repent and stop lying to catholics (lost souls of an antichrist, works-based, pagan religion) and start ministering the Word to them so they can be saved. Trusting the Catholic Religion?

Jesus Christ is “the blessed and ONLY Potentate (supreme divine Ruler).” (1 Timothy 6:15) In Christ’s kingdom, there’s no such thing as a “pope” – a phony sinner dressed up in a religious costume.

“Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate (supreme divine Ruler of all), the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” 1 Timothy 6:15-16

Jesus says that He is the only way to the Father, to Heaven. This means that there is no other way and that any person, religious leader, or religion claiming or insinuating that you need them is one of the very false prophets Jesus and His apostles so often warned us to beware of.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15

“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:11 

There is only ONE who stands between us and God – the LORD Jesus who alone died to take away our sins.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” 1 Timothy 2:5-6

No sinner, no mere man can mediate between a sinner and the Savior. Only God Himself can forgive our sins and he will only do such when the repentant sinner some to Him through the “one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

Jesus says: “the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins.” (Matthew 9:6) It was Christ alone who died for the sins of mankind and He alone can receive and forgive us. No religious leader can forgive his own sins, must less forgive the sins of others.

God requires that each individual come directly to Him through Christ alone. He will not accept any man into His kingdom except they come through Christ. Trying to get to God by way of a religion is pure futility. Jesus says “Come unto me” and “follow me.” (Matthew 4:19: 11:28-30) If one follows a religion that is not following Christ and they will be rejected by God.

Religion is nothing more than the tool of Satan to keep you from knowing God while claiming to be the way to God.

Any person who is proud of or who is trusting their church is not following Christ.

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24

Those who trust their church or pastor or religious experience instead of Christ, such a person has denied Christ.

This means that such a person is an antichrist – which means they’ve put something else, anything else before Christ, “in place of” Christ.

ANYTHING, ANYONE that one puts before God is an idol. Anything a person refuses to give up for Christ, is an idol. And all idolaters are going to hell according the Holy Scriptures. There is no purgatory.

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” Exodus 20:3-5

To say you know and love God and yet, you still feel the need to cling to your church, your religion, reveals that you are not yet born again, which Jesus says is a must to enter His kingdom.

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. … Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:3, 7 | Born Again? What Does That Mean

Jesus told us that if we put our own parents, spouse, or anyone else before Him, we are not worthy of Him, of His eternal kingdom.

Will those who cling to mere men, leaders, traditions, or religion be saved? Whatever one refuses to give up for Christ is an idol. Damnation draws nigh.

“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:26

In the eyes of a holy God, an idol is an idol. It matters not what that idol is – the idol being something someone loves more than the Savior. Christ requires that He alone be the “first love” of all who are His (Revelation 2:4-5).

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

God will not share the spotlight with anything or anyone.

“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” Isaiah 42:8

His name is Jealous.

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Exodus 34:14

Beloved, we must revel in, rejoice in, and magnify the LORD Jesus Christ. His apostle Paul said:

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14

Of the religionists of His day, Jesus cited them as loving their religion, their traditions, more than Him.

“He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment (Word) of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” Mark 7:6-9

To attempt to share Jesus and religion, clinging to religion, is to commit spiritual adultery, to be an idolater, having other gods before the LORD. This is no different than a married person having another lover on the side. Absolutely adultery, worthy of eternal damnation (1 Corinthians 6:9; Revelation 21:8, etc.).

“Thou shalt not commit adultery.” Exodus 20:14

To refuse to relinquish, to give up your religion for Christ is to deny Christ and be outside of His kingdom.

In comparison to loving God, our love for others must be like hate. Jesus must be the very “first love” of our lives, above all others (Revelation 2:4-5; Matthew 22:37-39).

Jesus Christ plus nothing equals eternal life – and to refuse to give up your religion for Christ means you simply have not repented and been saved. You are not washed in His blood and in need of repentance and believing upon Him fully. It’s all or nothing with Christ.

“He that is not with me is against me;” Matthew 12:30

It simply cannot be both way. You must rust Christ overtly, honoring Him and the Father, or you will not be His child. Trusting the catholic church, their teachings, and leaders, means you have not trusted Christ. When Jesus saves a person, that person’s life becomes all about God and not religion.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18

Obeying God is the expression of our love for Him. If we truly love the LORD, we will be willing to forsake all else for Him.

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

Are you willing to lay your life in the hand of God today, to truly get right with Him by receiving Christ?

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 1:12

We have ALL sinned against God by using the name of the LORD in vain, committing adultery in our minds, not honoring our parents, having other false gods before Him, etc. (Exodus 20). We are fully guilty in His holy eyes. And, no sinner can forgive our sins. Only the LORD Himself can do that and He desires to do just that.

Remember that it’s not by our own good works or our adherence to a religion that we are saved, but rather by the grace of God alone – based on the perfect righteous, one-time sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9

Jesus says “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15) The first command Christ requires that we obey is to repent and believe upon Him alone for salvation. We He saves us, as only Jesus can do, He forgives, washes away all our sins. There is no forgiveness of any sin till one is saved.

“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3

To obey God is to put away all undue love and affinities for others. To put God first is to hold Him as your only Savior and His Word as the highest, final authority of your life and to no longer follow the dead religions of mere sinful men.

Those who reject the Son of God damn their souls to hell irrevocably. You go directly to God through Christ or you go directly to hell forever. There is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ who died for the sins of the whole world.

Are you ready to truly trust Christ? Are you ready to give your life to Him, to repent and truly believe wholly upon the Son of God? Go here and lay down your life. Christ will save and wash away all your sins, right now. You will never be the same. Making Peace with God 

Remember, Jesus says “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3, 7) No religion can forgive sin or save a soul. Only Jesus can do that (Matthew 9:6; 1 Timothy 1:15; 2:5, etc.). The oldest doesn’t mean a thing. The Jewish religion is far older than catholicism. In fact, it wasn’t till 300-400 years AFTER Christ and His apostles were in Heaven, no longer on earth, that the catholic church even began to form. It has nothing to do with biblical Christianity. Catholic teachings grossly contradict Scripture. Here’s a sampling ….. IF THE BIBLE IS A CATHOLIC BOOK, THEN: Why does it condemn clerical dress? (Matt. 23:5-6). Why does it teach against the adoration of Mary? (Luke 11:27-28). Why does it show that all Christians are priests? (1 Pet. 2:5,9). Why does it condemn the observance of special days? (Gal. 4:9-11). Why doesn’t it teach that all Christians are saints? (1 Cor. 1:2). Why does it condemn the making and adoration of images? (Ex. 20:4-5). Why does it teach that baptism is immersion instead of sprinkling or pouring? (Col. 2:12). Why does it forbid us to address religious leaders as “father”? (Matt. 23:9) Why does it teach that Christ is the only foundation and not the apostle Peter? (1 Cor. 3:11). Why does it address only God Himself as the “Holy Father”? (John 17:11) Why does it teach that there is one mediator instead of many? (1 Tim. 2:5). Why is it completely silent about infant baptism, indulgence$, purgatory, confession to priests, the rosary, the mass, and many other things in the Catholic Church? If the Bible is catholic, why then did the Pope put the Bible on the Index of forbidden books in the 12th century?
