FRANKLIN GRAHAM’S ZIONIST HERESY EXPOSED

Romans 16:17-18, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”

According to the word of God, born again Christians are commanded to mark them which divide the body of Christ by heresies (contrary to Biblical doctrine) and avoid them. They that are such serve NOT God, but themselves. By their enticing words, they deceive the simple-minded who are ignorant of the scriptures (or simply reject them). Franklin Graham is one of those men to be avoided.

A family member recently sent me an article about Franklin Graham’s speech at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. which took place in 2014. As your typical Israel-worshipping televangelist, Franklin Graham willingly denied the scriptures to proclaim his support for wicked, Christ-rejecting Israel.

According to the article (which will be cited), Franklin Graham stated, “I support Israel. I support Israel not only because I worship a Jew but because of what the Bible says about Israel and the future of Israel.” (Franklin Graham, quoted by Bob Paulson, “Franklin Graham Speaks At Israeli Embassy”, May 1st, 2014)

What does the Holy Bible say about Israel exactly? Plenty, and much of it negative. For example, Jerusalem is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt in Revelation 11!

Revelation 11:7-8, “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.”

Time and time again in the Old Testament, Israel is condemned as a spiritual harlot, continually going after other gods while rejecting the true God.

Deuteronomy 31:16-17, “And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?”

Deuteronomy 31:24-30, “And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death? Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.”

Isaiah 1:21, “How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.”

Ezekiel 16:15-16, “But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was. And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.”

So, based on Franklin Graham’s words, he supports Christ-rejecting Israel even though much of their history consists of idolatry, spiritual wickedness, and oppression. Did he forget the scriptures that declare that if a man supports evildoers (or Christ-rejecters), he becomes a partaker in their sins? Is Franklin Graham willing to be a partaker of Israel’s sins?

1 Timothy 5:22, “Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.”

2 John 9-11, “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

According to the scriptures, Franklin Graham is a partaker of Israel’s evil deeds because he bids them God speed. What about you, friend? Do you bid Christ-rejecting Israel God speed contrary to the scriptures?

It gets better: Franklin Graham not only bids God speed to Christ-rejecting Israel, he also denies that the Jews killed Christ, even though Paul, Peter, and Jesus declared otherwise!

According to Franklin Graham, “it wasn’t the Jews that killed Christ. It wasn’t the Romans that killed Christ.” (op. cit.) This contradicts clear declarations in the scripture. For example, Peter, in Acts 2, declared that the men of Israel killed Christ.

Acts 2:22-24, “Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.”

Acts 2:36, “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

Peter again declares the men of Israel (AND their rulers) as the men who killed Christ in Acts 3, and once more in Acts 4!

Acts 3:12-17, “And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.”

Acts 4:10-12, “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

Paul declared the Jews as them that killed Jesus Christ in 1 Thessalonians 2.

1 Thessalonians 2:14-16, “For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.”

According to Paul, not only did the Jews kill the Lord Jesus, they also killed their own prophets, persecuted the Christians, please not God, and are contrary to all men. In addition to all of this, God’s wrath is come upon them to the UTTERMOST! Despite Franklin Graham’s efforts to please the Jews (and the simple-minded) with fair speeches, the word of God stands firm and proves Franklin Graham to be a liar!

His most egregious statement, however, is this, “It was each and every one of us [that killed Christ]. Because the Bible says, ‘God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’” Franklin Graham claims that every one of us killed Christ, even though that is not taught ANYWHERE in the Holy Bible, and he attempts to back it up with a scripture (John 3:16) that does not even say that!

So what is it going to be, friends? Who is correct, Franklin Graham or God? Are you going to receive the words of a Zionist deceiver or the words of God?

Jesus himself declared that he would be killed by the Jews (by his parables in Matthew 21). Is Jesus a liar, or is Franklin Graham a liar?

Matthew 21:33-45, “Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.”

Israel has no future UNLESS they repent and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ. “Christian” Zionists “bless” Israel politically, financially, verbally, militarily, etc. Have they ever PRAYED for Israel’s salvation? None of the other things matter if they are not born again!

Romans 10:1-4, “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”

CALVINISTIC SOVEREIGNTY REFUTED

John Calvin was a heretic, the father of what we call Calvinism today. Following are some quotes of his:

“The first man fell because the Lord deemed it meet that he should.”

“I freely acknowledge my doctrine to be this: that Adam fell, not only by the permission of God, but by his very secret counsel and decree…”

“Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.”

“Whatever things are done wrongly and unjustly by man, these very things are the right and just works of God.”

“God not only foresaw the fall of the first man, and in him the ruin of his posterity; but also at his own pleasure arranged it…”

As you just read, Calvinism teaches that God is SO SOVEREIGN that he is the very author of sin. However, is this really what the Holy Bible teaches? We will look at these claims and refute them, one by one, with the scriptures.

1. God is NOT the author of sin. He did NOT bring sin into the world. When man became violently wicked in the earth, it GRIEVED God at his heart. Why would God be grieved by man’s sin if he was the author of it?

Genesis 6:5-6, “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”

Isaiah 63:10, “But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.”

2. God does NOT control every political appointment. (Yes, Trump-supporters, that includes Donald Trump as well!) It follows that God does NOT control everything political leaders do.

1 Samuel 15:10-11, “Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying, It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.”

Hosea 8:2-4, “Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.”

3. God does NOT control the sacrifice of children. It is man’s wickedness that drives him to commit such evil, NOT God’s “sovereignty” (as defined by Calvinists).

Leviticus 18:21, “And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.”

Jeremiah 7:31, “And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.”

Jeremiah 19:5-6, “They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind: Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.”

Jeremiah 32:35, “And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.”

4. God does NOT decree the outcome of every event. There ARE events, believe it or not, that happen by time and chance.

Ecclesiastes 9:11, “I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”

Isaiah 5:3-4, “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?”

Luke 10:31, “And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”

5. It is well known (and daily observed) that not all men do God’s will. God does NOT control man’s free will, otherwise it would NOT be free will!

Matthew 23:37, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!”

Luke 7:30, “But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.”

6. As stated before, God is NOT the author of sin, nor is he the author of confusion. If Calvinism were true, he would be the author of both, but not according to the scriptures.

1 Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”

James 1:13-15, “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”

7. God sometimes speaks of the future with uncertainty. This is NOT to say he has no foreknowledge, but in fact he knows all: He knows what will happen, but he also knows what would happen if an event took a different turn.

Genesis 18:17-21, “And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.”

Jeremiah 36:1-3, “And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day. It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”

8. God does NOT control men’s actions. Sometimes man’s actions have caused God to change his plans.

Exodus 32:7-14, “And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.”

Jonah 3, “And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.”

9. God gives everyone a chance to repent (change their mind), though most refuse. Again, he does NOT control their mind and cause them to receive or reject him.

Psalm 78:41, “Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.”

Acts 7:51, “Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.”

2 Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

Revelation 2:20-21, “Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.”

As you can see, God is indeed the most High, and he knows all, and he is powerful, but that does NOT mean he is sovereign to the point of overriding our free will. God created man, NOT robots with no free will!

CATHOLIC DOCTRINES OF MARY REFUTED

Mary is NOT the “Mother of God.” She gave birth to Jesus in the flesh, yes, but given that Jesus is God, he existed long before she did!

Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

John 1:1-3, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”

1 Timothy 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

Hebrews 11:3, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

Mary recognized Jesus Christ as God and her Saviour. If Mary was truly as godlike as the Catholic Church claims her to be, she would have no need for a Saviour! She even admitted her “low estate”!

Luke 1:46-50, “And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.”

Though Mary indeed fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy of the virgin birth, she did NOT remain a virgin! After Jesus was born in the flesh, she had other children.

Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Matthew 1:22-25, “Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.”

Matthew 13:54-56, “And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?“

Mary never performed any miracles, only Jesus did. Surely if the Catholic Church spake the truth, Mary should have performed miracles in the scriptures. Notice also that Jesus did not give her any special honors or praise.

John 2:1-8, “And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.”

When the wise men came to see Jesus, they worshipped him, and him ONLY. They did NOT worship Mary! The scripture does NOT say, “they worshipped them”!

Matthew 2:11, “And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.”

Mary was afraid of the angel Gabriel when he appeared unto her. Clearly she had NO power or dominion over the angels!

Luke 1:28-30, “And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.”

Mary never ascended to heaven, only Jesus did. There is not ONE scripture that testifies of Mary’s so-called “assumption” into heaven!

Luke 24:51, “And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.”

Acts 1:10-11, “And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”

Acts 1:14, “These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.”

NOWHERE in the word of God is it stated that Mary intercedes for mankind. Jesus is the mediator, and him only! He is our advocate and our intercessor.

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

Hebrews 7:22-25, “By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”

1 John 2:1-2, “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

The thief on the cross did not trust in Mary for his salvation. He believed on Jesus Christ!

Luke 23:39-43, “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

The Catholic Church claims to be the church established by Jesus Christ, yet they rob him of his glory at every turn, choosing instead to glorify a woman who was a sinner like the rest of us. Woe unto the Catholic Church!

Deuteronomy 11:16-17, “Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.”

Psalm 40:4, “Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.”

THERE IS ONLY ONE…

1. There is only one God, yet he exists in three Persons.
2. There is only one gospel: the death of Jesus Christ for our sins, his burial, and bodily resurrection three days later.
3. There is only one plan of salvation.
4. There is only one Christ: it is Jesus.
5. There is only one Trinity. Any others are counterfeits!
6. There is only one begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ.
7. There is only one body of Christ, made up of many members.
8. There is only one true faith: Biblical Christianity.
9. There is only one way to heaven, by believing on Jesus Christ as one’s Saviour.

If there is only one of each of the things listed above, why then do ignorant Christians insist that it matters not which Bible one uses, likes, studies, or reads? Surely if there is more than one Bible for English-speakers, God would be inconsistent! And how much more, given the fact that all modern “bibles” say different things! (They have to, to obtain a copyright for money!) However, wise Christians know God IS consistent, and therefore there is only ONE Bible for today’s English-speaking people: it is the King James Bible! All modern “bibles” are counterfeits!

1 Corinthians 1:10, “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”

THE CATHOLIC OMISSION

Deuteronomy 4:2, “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.”

In the scriptures it is made clear several times that we are not to add to God’s word or take away from it. Many false teachers, religions, and bible versions are guilty of this, and the Catholic Church is no exception.

Recently, I visited the website Beginning Catholic. There is a section titled, “Essential Freedom: Catholic Ten Commandments.” This section contains a list of the ten commandments according to the Catholic Church. So where is the omission? Let us look at the list of commandments according to this Catholic site.

1. “I am the LORD your God. You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.”
2. “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.”
3. “Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.”
4. “Honor your father and your mother.”
5. “You shall not kill.”
6. “You shall not commit adultery.”
7. “You shall not steal.”
8. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
9. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.”
10. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.

To the untrained, and unlearned, eye, there does not appear to be anything missing. Oh, but there is! Let us look at the scriptures to determine what the Catholic Church has omitted from their list of commandments.

Exodus 20:1-17, “And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 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: 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; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.”

Though the Catholic Church has a second commandment, it is NOT the second commandment according to the scriptures. The second commandment, according to the scriptures, is Exodus 20:4-6, which says, “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: 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; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.”

The Bible clearly condemns making any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven or earth, and bowing down to it in addition. Why would the Catholic Church omit this commandment from the Bible? Because Catholicism is a religion of graven images! (In browsing the aforementioned section, it should be noted that there is absolutely NO admission of this omission. How deceitful!)

The commandment against covetousness is NOT two, it is ONE. The Catholic Church split the last commandment into two and renumbered them to hide the fact that they omitted the commandment against images.

The ten commandments are repeated in Deuteronomy 5, and the commandment against images is there as well. That is TWO witnesses against the Catholic Church’s omission!

Deuteronomy 5:6-21, “I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Thou shalt have none other gods before me. Thou shalt not make 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 waters beneath the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto 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, And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Neither shalt thou commit adultery. Neither shalt thou steal. Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour. Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour’s.”
