Catholic Preist Sings Song About Lucifer

[Mink57]

An opinion is not truth on that you have said truly . So why follow the opinions of men who though
they claim to adhere to scripture have often twisted the scripture to support their own opinion .

Which "men" are you talking about?

IT be high time folks read this bible that many claim they be adhering too .

How do you know that folks DON'T read the Bible? Plenty of people DO read their Bibles. But the problem is that they think they understand what they're reading and/or, their interpretation of what they're reading is incorrect.

As far as not being able to see the falsehoods , death in some other faiths
this is due to the common ground mindset that has been pumped into ALL the denominations .
The idea is to break down all fundamental beliefs within all denominations as well as the other religoins .
But it aint for the reason many suppose it to be .
FOr it dont just speak against fundamental false beleifs which men have taught
IT speaketh against fundamental core truths of JESUS himself , of the very bible they pretend to be adhering too .
There is one reason they do this and one reason alone they have done it .
You see men in power desire one thing , THOUGH they holler its for the peoples , POWER and CONTROL .

Yeah, uh...not buyin' that.

Its very true that throughout the years , decades and even centuries that even many within the christian realm
have taught truths they cliam are fundamental to the faith . WHEN IN TRUTH they doctrines of men
not fundamental truth at all .

So, give me an example of a "doctrine of men" vs. fundamental truth.

Now we see in this day and age an attack against fundamental truth
Now they can speak certain truths . for example many men do preach their denominatoin and its teachings AS FUNDAMENTAL
TRUTH . WHICH IT AINT . but they also use this against true fundamental JESUS following lambs .
They make the idea that fundamental truth is bad , rather we ought to love and find common ground .
THEY use the bad examples to strengthen their ideals against fundamentalism .
THE ENTIRE LOTT is guilty of preaching men made doctrines for control .
YET NOW nigh the end the goal is GATHER EVERYTHING under them .

(Warning: I'm about to be sarcastic) Riiiight. Because ALL people are robots, simply obeying whatever a preacher, pastor or priest preaches. *eyeroll* (End sarcasm).

If someone doesn't like/agree with the preaching of their church, they have the option to leave. God knows I stopped going to my church because I didn't agree with what some of the clergy and some of the parishioners were doing. I was gone for four months. Then one day, it was as if Jesus reached down and tapped me on the shoulder while saying, "It's o.k. I've taken care of it. You can go back to church now." So, I did. But during those months away, what "control" did those "men" have over me? Zero. Zilch. Nada.

I think YOU think that THEY think they have more "control" than they do.

SO how do they do this . THEY found out what we all , including even the false religoins had in common .
SEE in part all religoins as well as all within christendom from RCC to PROTESTANT
do teach something . THEY do teach good works and to love one another etc .
SO THEY MADE The focus on that and all the while they remove the fundamental core beliefs
of ALL religoins out of the way . NOW I KNOW them other religoins and their fundamental truths are false
But biblical TRUTH AINT false . YET THEY REMOVE THAT TOO .

Still not getting what "fundamental core beliefs" you're talking about.

The idea was and is to create an idea , a religoin of sorts that can UNIFY all tobe as one .
ONLY JESUS had to be removed out the way . As well as the false stuff of the other religoins .
ANYTHING that divides had to be removed , INCLUDING BIBLICAL TRUTH . AND the latter one IS A HUGE MISTAKE
to remove . WE REALLY SHOULD have learned the bible for ourselves .
I know all other religions to be false . YET now today its got so bad
that not only are certain sins accepted and embraced as love , THEY Got christendom convinced even
that GOD is not only fine with false faiths but with the false religoins too . THAT ALL we need to do is just love
And that GOD is fine with muslims buddists , atheists and whateverist , so long as the soul does good to others , has this lovey do crap .

You're still not being specific, Amigo. What are some of these "false beliefs" you're talking about?

AND would you like to know who ushered this abomination in unto the churches even .
THE RCC DID . OOOPSY we do have a problem dont we .

Can't comment unless and until I know the specific "abomination" you're talking about.

SEE the RCC knows something . THIS WORLD is changing and in order to stay afloat it better go with the FLOW .
AND THE RCC aint alone , THE PROTESTANT SOLD OUT LEADERS know the same thing .
That in order to stay atop and making money , THEY BETTER GO WITH THE FLOW and not against it .
ITS A TOTAL SELL OUT and its being sold under the idea its love , its unity , its GODS Will . ONLY IT AINT
its the will ONLY of HE who desires and desired to be as GOD
and that one is using the pride and love of the world and money TO BAIT THE SOLD OUT to SELL OUT their flocks to the lie .
THE LIE THIS LAMB WONT BE BUYING . PEROID .

LOL! Making money? You make it sound like ALL RCC parishes have some secret vault in the church basement in which they're hoarding bricks of gold, diamonds and hundreds of millions of dollars in their bank accounts!

It ain't so, Amigo. It just ain't so.

Whoa silver , i never said JUST the RCC , THE PROTESTANT REALM is BIG TIME INFECTED with LOVERS of money .
And now they too have gathered under the shade of the HARLOTS LIE for UNITY . as have the false religoins
like mulisms and etc . We better watch out . Get back in the bible and read it and stay IN IT .

I never said that YOU said "JUST" the RCC. I was simply stating that the RCC isn't quite what you described. I'm well aware that SOME non-Catholic Christian churches are like that. But not ALL.

And, I would be careful to say the "Protestant Realm", as if ALL Protestants believe and practice what you claim they do. It seems that you're taking the behavior of the few and applying it to the many. Again, that ain't so, Amigo.

As for getting back into the Bible well...I read my Bible daily. I'm on my 3rd reading of the Bible in its entirety. I'm up to Timothy 5, and will finish with Revelation at the end of this month.

As for the RCC, ALL churches follow a certain 'program' of readings from the Bible, that enables them to read to its parishioners the ENTIRE Bible in 3 years. Today's readings are: Ez 33:7-9...Ps 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9...Rom 13:8-10, and Mt 18:15-20. Tomorrow's reading will be from 1 Cor 5:1-8, and Lk 6:6-11.

Don't know about other churches, Catholic or Protestant or 'other', but *my* church encourages its member to READ. THE. BIBLE.

So again, I'm not quite sure what your 'beef' is against the RCC.

Romans 8:1 says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus..." Not EVERYONE is "in Christ Jesus."

Yes, Jesus atoned for the sins of the whole world. But that doesn't mean that the whole world will accept Jesus' atonement.

 

[Robert Pate]

If Jesus atoned for the sins of the whole world that means that there is no condemnation for those that are in Christ, Romans 8:1. If there is no condemnation, then what good is the Catholic church or any church or religion? Isn't religion an attempt to please God? It appears to me that God is ALREADY well pleased with his Son Jesus Christ, who is our advocate.

Do you think that the whole world is "IN CHRIST"?

Do you know what it means to be...that is, to LIVE "IN CHRIST"?

From what you've written on this forum, it looks like the answer is 'no'.

Jesus DID atone for the sins of the whole world. But WE have to do OUR part, too. Do you know what our part is?

God is well pleased with Jesus; not necessarily well pleased with US.

 

[Reggie Belafonte]

The priest said in his song that Jesus was the son of Lucifer. That is as blasphemous as it gets.

A lot of Priest are Satanist in fact, wolves !

God sees ALL THINGS in his Son Jesus Christ. As far as God is concerned Jesus has defeated sin, death and the devil and now sits in heaven as "The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords" Revelation 19:16. This salvation becomes ours by simple childlike faith in Christ and his Gospel. Anything more than faith is a denial of his Gospel and is anti-Christ.

Christ defeated sin. WE didn't. WE still sin. Even PAUL said that about HIMSELF.

This salvation becomes ours by simple childlike faith in Christ and his Gospel.

Childlike faith is NOT the same thing as BLIND faith. Big difference.

Anything more than faith is a denial of his Gospel and is anti-Christ.

MORE than? Or LESS than?

Faith isn't passive. It's active. SHOW Jesus your faith, Robert. SHOW Jesus your love. SHOW Jesus your love for others.

Don't just say it.


SHOW it.

Spiritually, we are perfect and complete in Christ, Colossians 2:10. Which means that all religions are worthless. Stop trying to do in your flesh what God has ALREADY done in Jesus Christ.

No where in the New Testament are we encouraged to have faith in man conceived religions.

I am not under or subject to any of your Catholic laws and rules. I don't have to show anyone anything.

 

[Mink57]

No Robert, we are not "'perfect' and complete." We are "complete." Not "perfect." Please stop adding to scripture that which isn't there.

Once again, you're taking a bible verse out of context.

No where in the New Testament are we encouraged to have faith in man conceived religions.

Oh, o.k. So, what the Apostles did -- who were just men -- should we not follow their lead...because they were "just men"?

If everyone thought like you do, Christianity wouldn't have taken root...and grown.

I am not under or subject to any of your Catholic laws and rules. I don't have to show anyone anything.

LOL! *MY* "Catholic laws and rules"? Jesus himself talked about works and deeds. But he didn't just talk about faith; he demonstrated his faith by dying on the cross for us. He committed his faith into action...a.k.a. WORKS. His 'works' included feeding the 5,000...turning water into wine...curing the sick, etc. While I don't have HIS 'power', I DO have the 'power' to do what he instructed as far as Matthew 25:35-46:

But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. 32“All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.

34“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37“Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38‘And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40“The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’

41“Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; 42for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; 43I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ 44“Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ 45“Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46“These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Seems pretty clear to me, that we, who are IN CHRIST should feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe those who need clothes, visit the sick and those in prison. Can't claim to "have faith" while ignoring Christ's directive.

And those aren't "Catholic rules." Those 'rules' are Biblical...regardless of whether one is Catholic.

Because you don't believe the Gospel you are without understanding.

Paul said, "But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost" 2 Corinthians 4:3.

You are not in Christ. You are in the Catholic religion, which is the religion of man.

You apparently believe that Jesus came into the world to show you the way. Jesus didn't come into the world to show you the way, he is the way, John 14:6.

*Sigh* I DO believe in the Gospel. I just don't believe in *your* interpretation of the Gospel.

And as far as what Paul said, you're taking verses out of context...aGAIN.

Just because I'm "in" the Catholic religion doesn't mean I'm not "in Christ." Please stop judging ME and the Catholic religion.

And for that matter, stop judging ALL religions.

Jesus IS the Way. But apparently, you don't know what that means.

If you believed the Gospel, you would not be a Catholic.

The only way that anyone can be "in Christ" is through faith in the Gospel. In the Gospel "Christ is the end of the law" Romans 10:4. In the Gospel all sin has been atoned for, 1 John 2:2. In the Gospel Christians are complete "In Christ" Colossians 2:10. Jesus has done it all and he did it perfectly. There is nothing left for us to do. No religion needed. "The just shall live by faith" Romans 1:17. Catholicism is a denial of the Gospel.

I DO believe the Gospel. And yes, I am Catholic.

HOWEVER, I don't believe in Sola Scriptura. Sola Scriptura is NOT a Biblical premise.

I don't believe that we live by "faith ALONE", as it is demonstrated in the bible that we don't (See Hebrews 11).

I also don't believe that we ONLY have to 'confess' that we believe in Jesus...that Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected...and that we go off merrily, continuing as usual, hating our neighbor...cursing at the guy who 'stole' our parking space...shunning the beggar on the street...showing a prejudice toward anyone who doesn't support our thinking...and judging those who aren't like *us*! If we do things like that, do we REALLY "believe" in Jesus? Do we REALLY have "faith"?

Hardly.

You claim that "No religion is needed." Well, maybe not for *you*. But others find comfort in their religion, be it Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran, Unitarian, Mormon and the like. They find comfort in the fellowship with other members...fellowship with those who are non-members... Plenty of drug addicts, alcoholics, prostitutes, poverty-stricken and other formerly 'depraved' persons have found their way through one religion or another.

And if success stories come out of believing and practicing a certain religion, who are YOU to make that claim that religion is unnecessary?

I used to be religious, that is until I discovered the Gospel and justification by faith. Yes, you can become very comfortable by belonging to a religion. It is like being in a box. You know exactly where the walls, the floor and the ceiling are. Religion is the broad way that leads to destruction, Matthew 7:13-14. The Pharisees were very religious, they all went to hell, see Matthew the 23rd chapter. The Holy Spirit is only given to those that believe the Gospel, It cannot be obtained by works, Galatians 3:2. I guess that kind of kills it for you.

 

[Mink57]

No Robert. You have stated in other posts that you believe there is justification by faith ALONE. Again, read Hebrews 11. THAT'S what 'faith' is about.

Yes, you can become very comfortable by belonging to a religion. It is like being in a box. You know exactly where the walls, the floor and the ceiling are.

For SOME, yes. Others, not so much. If others being in a "box" brings them closer to God, who are YOU to complain?

Religion is the broad way that leads to destruction, Matthew 7:13-14.

Matthew 7:13-14 has NOTHING to do with "religion."

The Pharisees were very religious, they all went to hell, see Matthew the 23rd chapter.

You have no idea if the Pharisees went to hell. In fact, you have no idea WHO goes to heaven or hell. Please DO NOT JUDGE.

The Holy Spirit is only given to those that believe the Gospel, It cannot be obtained by works, Galatians 3:2. I guess that kind of kills it for you.

The Holy Spirit was given to Paul BEFORE he believed in the Gospel...so he would believe in the Gospel. It was because of the Holy Spirit that he came to believe in the Gospel. And AFTER he received the Holy Spirit, he started to perform works.

Paul was a special person called by Christ to take the Gospel to the Gentiles. Paul is not your example.

Jesus referred to the religious Pharisees as vipers that would not be able to escape the damnation of hell, Matthew 23:33.

There are 1.2 billion Catholics. Jesus said only a few would find the way, Matthew 7:14.

 

[Mink57]

Paul was a special person called by Christ to take the Gospel to the Gentiles. Paul is not your example.

Actually, Paul is only ONE example. If Paul -- who was a Pharisee -- could be 'called' to conversion, it makes sense that other Pharisees could convert as well.

Jesus referred to the religious Pharisees as vipers that would not be able to escape the damnation of hell, Matthew 23:33.

Matthew 23:33 says (to the Pharisees in Jesus' presence), "You serpents, you brook of vipers, how can you flee from the judgment of Gehenna?" It was a rhetorical question; not a statement of damnation. After all, "God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:17. If any of the Pharisees repented, they could be saved.

You don't get to judge, Robert. Only GOD does. And since Jesus didn't judge, maybe you shouldn't either.

There are 1.2 billion Catholics. Jesus said only a few would find the way, Matthew 7:14.

You said earlier that Religion is the broad way that leads to destruction." Obviously, Jesus did not mention "religion" in Matthew 7:14. He only mentioned that a "few" would find the way.

But how many is a "few"? WHO is the "few"? There are about 1.2 billion Catholics in the world today. That may seem like a lot of people. but it only represents about 15% of the rest of the world by population. Is 15% "a lot"...or "few", by Jesus' standards?

And who is to say that Catholics believe that ONLY Catholics will end up in heaven? The RCC doesn't believe that.

And neither do I.

You are on the wrong bus going in the wrong direction. Unfortunately, you will not realize that until it is to late. The only Pharisee that showed some interest in Christ was Nikodemus. If I was a Catholic, the 23rd chapter of Matthew would be all that I would need to renounce it. Pharisaism is the only religion in the Bible that resembles Catholicism. In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus said that the way to destruction was broad. It is broad because there are many on the way to hell.
