Carla said... Do I know of any points where catholic doctrine is repugnant to the bible? Well, maybe, maybe not. I know that the OT says to not worship idols - Catholicism is big into form & ritual, yes, a form of idolatry - but as far as I can see, J.Christ did not care either way. It was our heart that his teachings were all about. From my point of view, it is not an either/or situation. Our hearts are not what His teachings were all about. This is another of the faulty teachings in the modern church. This belief often comes from using corrupt translations like NIV and NASV, which so many modern churches use. "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."—Revelation 21:7 I know a bit of the prophecies from the OT and how they have come to surface in the person of Jesus Christ. I will believe it in its entirety when I see the stuff in the Book of Revelation occur...and these events certainly could happen. We are too far gone and need a giant cleansing compliments of Himself Up Above, I always say. How will you see these things happen if you don't understand what they say will happen? I notice you call Jesus Christ Yashua. Might you be a member of the 12 tribes organization? I've never heard of this organization. I call Him Yashua because that is His name. People in the modern church call Him jesus because for the same reason they continue to celebrate Christmas. "Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good."—Jeremiah 10:1-5 The Bible prophecies speak about a global deception in which all the world would be led to believe that some man is Christ. The fulfillment of this prophecy is currently underway with the creation of the state of Israel after the world war. This was not an accident. It was a deliberate act with future intent. The best way to decipher current world events on a global scale is to understand Bible prophecy and modern conspiracies. It takes courage and persistence to study these things and only a small percentage of people will bother. "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."—Revelation 13:1-18
