THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF SATAN
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for listening to the Narrow Way Christian Ministries online Church service, today's sermon is a part of The exposing Satan Series and is titled: The Catholic Church of Satan, The purpose of this sermon is to explain the true origins and false doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church. This sermon will also detail the Roman Catholic Church's place in end time Bible prophecy, and I would like to begin today's sermon by reading a scripture from the book of (Matthew 15:8-9) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
THE TRUE ORIGIN OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
The Roman Catholic Church claims to have been started by Jesus Christ in the year 33 A.D. It alleges that Christ ordained Saint Peter the first Pope of Roman Catholicism, however the Roman Catholic Church is not founded on the teachings of Jesus Christ as it proclaims, but rather it is founded on the Mystery Religion of ancient Babel. The Roman state religion before Christ was pagan sun worship, this religious system can be traced all the way back to the tower of babel, which later became the state religion of ancient Egypt and Assyria. This ancient Mystery Religion was also adopted by the Babylonian, Persian and Greek empires, and was later adopted by Rome as its official state religion. History records that the pagan Roman empire crucified Jesus, and was leading the charge in Christian persecution after the death of Christ. The major factor behind this persecution was the rapid spread of the Christian faith throughout the Roman empire, and a declining interest in the ancient Mystery Religion. The gospel of Jesus Christ caused a major religious divide among the citizens of Rome, and this religious division was effecting the stability of the Roman empire. The early Roman persecution of Christians was brutal and merciless, however it failed to stop the spreading of the gospel, and faith in Christ only grew stronger throughout Rome. To counter this problem Emperor Constantine publicly converted from paganism to Christianity, he also changed the Roman state religion from pagan sun worship to Roman Christianity. Through the act of religious conversion, Constantine combined the Church with the Roman State, and appointed himself the supreme authority of the Christian Church.
THE COUNCIL OF NICAEA
History tells us that in the year 325 A.D. Rome authorized an official council known as the Council of Nicaea, this council was convened for the purpose of defining Constantine’s new state religion, and this council is the real origin of the Roman Catholic Church. The Council of Nicaea was attended by pagan religious leaders, and Roman Christians, who at that time were not being persecuted by the state. During this council, the chosen religious representatives were instructed to form a new type of Roman Christianity, which would appease both the Christian, and pagan populations of Rome. The Council of Nicaea and the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church created a new political and religious system, that could be controlled by the state. The establishment of the Roman Catholic religion was rejected by God's true Church, which led to the deadliest Christian persecution of all time, and ushered in The Dark Ages 500-1500 A.D. During the Dark Ages, true biblical Christianity became illegal under Roman law, and anyone who dared not conform to the Catholic Church was severely persecuted by means of imprisonment, torture and death. Sadly most people have no idea that the Roman Catholic Church is responsible for unspeakable acts of torture and mass murder. Innumerable Christians were beheaded and burnt alive for simply owning a Bible, or refusing to acknowledging the Emperor as God, however throughout all this persecution, true Christians refused to submit to Rome, and did not conform to the apostate Roman Catholic religion.
THE FALSE DOCTRINES OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
The next sections of this sermon will expose the false doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, and reveal its ungodly religious system of salvation through works. (Galatians 1:6-7) I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
The Roman Catholic Church does not believe in the Bible, or represent the Christian faith in any way, the Catholic Church is an Antichrist establishment, and proof of this can be found in its doctrine of forgiveness through mediation. Catholicism teaches that a Catholic priest has the authority to forgive sins, and is a necessary mediator between man and God, the Catholic Church teaches that in order to receive forgiveness, a person is required to confess their sins to a Catholic priest, who allegedly acts as the mediator between that person and God. However the Bible does not agree with this doctrine, and scripture teaches us that only Jesus Christ can mediate the forgiveness of sin.
(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.
The Catholic doctrine of mediation is not in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the Bible reveals that it is a sin to practice this false doctrine. Many Catholics have no idea that the mediation doctrine is a sin, or that this teaching personifies the definition of the word antichrist (In place of Christ). The Catholic Church and its blasphemous doctrine of Papal mediation, seeks to put the Catholic Church in place of Christ and act as the only mediator between God and man.
FORGIVENESS
The Catholic Church teaches that without a priest acting as a mediator between God and man, people cannot receive eternal life, or the forgiveness of sin. According to Catholicism, only a Catholic priest (acting on behalf of the Pope) has the authority to authorize God’s forgiveness, or absolve a person from sin. Contrary to this Catholic doctrine, the New Testament teaches us that God does not use a priesthood to mediate the forgiveness of sin, rather it states that Jesus Christ is the High Priest of God's people, and that He alone mediates forgiveness under the order of Melchisedec.
(Hebrews 5:9-10) And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
To teach that a Catholic priest, or anyone else has the authority to forgive sins is defined in the Bible as blasphemy, and I would like to illustrate this by using an example. The book of Mark tells a story of Jesus healing a paralyzed man. (Mark 2:5-7) When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? Jesus then answers this accusation by saying in (Mark 2:10) But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all...
It is important to understand that even though the scribes wrongfully accused Jesus of blasphemy, the Bible teaches us that it is blasphemy for a man to claim the authority to forgive sins. The Bible says that no man on this earth has the power to mediate between man and God, and that Jesus alone has the authority to forgive sins. The Bible teaches this in the book of (Matthew 28:18) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Another unholy tradition practiced by the Catholic Church, is the veneration of the Pope and his band of Roman priests. Catholics call their priests "father" and refer to the Pope as "the holy father", this practice is blasphemy, and strictly forbidden by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The Bible teaches this in the book of (Mathew 23:9) And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
SALVATION
(Acts 4:12) 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.
This section of the sermon will detail the Roman Catholic message of salvation, and expose its blasphemous doctrine of salvation by works. Through infant baptism, keeping sacraments, attending mass, praying to Mary, and partaking in confession (just to mention a few), the Roman Catholic Church has developed a system of salvation through works, and its members are expected to trust in it. These practices, and the belief that the Catholic Church is needed to obtain salvation is in complete opposition to the Bible, as one receives salvation through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 2:8-9) 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.
(Romans 4:5) But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ paid for the sins of every man by dying on the cross, He was sacrificed so humanity could receive forgiveness and be reconciled with God. Through accepting this gospel mankind can receive forgiveness of sin, and eternal life in the kingdom of God. The Catholic Church contradicts this message, and attempts to put itself in place of Jesus Christ.
THE WORSHIP OF MARY
(Jeremiah 44:17) But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem:
The official doctrine of the Catholic Church is that the virgin Mary, remained a virgin after the birth of Jesus Christ, and that she remained sinless throughout her life. Mary is worshiped in the Catholic Church as the "Mother of God" and the "Queen of Heaven". The Catholic Church erects statues in honour of Mary, and encourages its members to pray to her. However these practices are not found in the Bible, as they originate from the Mystery Religion of ancient Babel The Queen of Heaven was Semiramis the wife of Nimrod, who was worshiped as the Mother of God, and Queen of Heaven. After Nimrod's death, Semiramis gave birth to Nimrod's son Tammuz, who the ancients worshiped as the son of god, see (Ezekiel 8:14-16). The Queen of Heaven Semiramis is portrayed in the ancient Egyptian religion as ISIS, the mother of Horus, and was later worshiped as Diana of Ephesus. This worship is mentioned in the book of (Acts 19:35) And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
The Catholic deification of Mary is simply a cover for the worship of Semiramis the Queen of Heaven, and its abominable practice of the Mystery Religion. The Bible teaches us that Mary was a sinner in the book of (Romans 3:23). Scripture explains that Mary needed a Saviour in the book (Luke 1:47), and that she offered a sacrifice for her sins in the book of (Luke 2:24). Therefore Mary was not sinless as is taught by the Roman Catholic Church, and scripture never commands us to worship Mary, or exalts her in any way.
IDOL WORSHIP
(Deuteronomy 27:15) Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD.
It is an undeniable fact that idol worship is, and always has been practiced in the Roman Catholic Church, every Catholic Church is littered with graven images and abominable statues. Catholics are encouraged to make shrines and alters bearing the image of Zeus which they call Jesus, and the Queen of Heaven which they call Mary. The practice of idol worship is a well established part of the Catholic ritual, and the Bible strictly forbids this activity in all forms, with absolutely no exceptions.
(Exodus 20:4-5) 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...
PAGAN HOLIDAYS
(Deuteronomy 12:30-31) Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods;
The two most significant Roman Catholic holidays are without a doubt Christmas and Easter, these Catholic holy days are celebrated all over the world by Catholics, and non-Catholics alike. Most people believe that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus, and that Easter celebrates the resurrection of Christ, unfortunately people who believe this are wrong. The day known as Christmas (December 25th) was declared by the Roman Catholic Church to be the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ, however this is not the case. No one knows exactly when Jesus was born, as it was not recorded in the Bible, or any other known manuscript, the customs of Christmas originated with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, which was a celebration in honor of the Egyptian god Set (Saturn), and took place from the 17th to the 23rd of December. Saturnalia was the pagan Winter Solstice festival, which celebrated the death of the sun god Osiris. According to the Mystery Religion, the sun god Osiris was murdered by his brother Set (Saturn) only to rise again three days after his death. According to the Mystery Religion December 25th was the day that Osiris rose from the dead, and the "sun of god" was "born again". December 25th was dedicated as the day of the unconquered sun by the Roman Emperor, and was eventually renamed Christ-mass which means "death of Christ". As mentioned previously, Emperor Constantine adopted "Christianity" as the Roman state religion, which essentially caused Christians to adopt sun worship, and to celebrate the holidays (holy days) of the Mystery Religion. Millions of Christians now ignorantly practice sun worship, under the illusion that they are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
The Roman Catholic Church regards Easter to be its most important religious celebration, as it supposedly commemorates the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. However Easter is also a pagan festival that was adopted by Rome, and has absolutely nothing to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The traditions of Easter originate from the worship of the Egyptian goddess Isis, also known as the Queen of Heaven. The true origins of Easter date back long before the death of Christ, and are based on the celebration of sex and fertility. Hare and rabbit serve as symbols of fertility and new life, the egg is also a symbol of fertility and rebirth. This is why Easter is important to the Roman Catholic Church, and the reason for the traditions of the Easter egg, and the Easter bunny. Easter is an important celebration for those who practiced the Mystery Religion, as it celebrates the cycle of birth, and rebirth of the sun god Horus.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF SATAN
(2 Corinthians 6:16-18) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
The Catholic Church does not believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ, nor does it teach that Jesus is King of Kings who sits at the right hand of God the Father. In truth the Catholic Church practices the Mystery Religion, and teaches the Luciferian philosophy that Jesus was a failed Messiah. This was confirmed by Pope Francis On the 24th of September 2015, when he said "The cross shows us a different way of measuring success. Ours is to plant the seeds. God sees to the fruits of our labours. and if at times our efforts and works seem to fail and not produce fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus Christ and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross."
The Roman Catholic Church does not believe that Jesus was the Messiah! It holds the tradition that Christ is an office, which can be obtained through ritual initiation into the Luciferian Mystery Religion.
THE ROMAN DRAGON
(Revelation 12: 3-5) And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
The Bible associates the Roman empire with Satan, and it uses king Herod as a foreshadowing of the Antichrist 666. The Bible warns us about an end time Roman empire, and its association with the coming of the Antichrist. There is no doubt that the continuation of the Roman empire is described in Bible prophecy, or that Rome is identified as being the kingdom of the Antichrist. The book of Daniel details this doctrine, and shows Rome’s place in Bible eschatology.
(Daniel 7:7) After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
(Daniel 7:23) Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
The Bible warns us about the end of this world, and it explains that the Roman empire would rule over humanity in the last days, prophecy also warns us that a powerful religious leader from Rome would unite the world under a one world religion. The Bible describes this Roman religious empire as the Second Beast in the book of (Revelation 13:11) 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.
POPE FRANCIS THE FALSE PROPHET
(Revelation 20:10) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The False Prophet is described vividly in the book of Revelation, and prophecy warns us of his appearance on the world stage. The Bible describes the False Prophet as a great religious leader from Rome, and it exposes his plan to unite humanity under a one world religious order. Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) embodies this agent of the apocalypse, and his actions have already fulfilled Bible prophecy. For example, on the 31st of October 2016, Pope Francis and Bishop Mounib Younan, President of the Lutheran World Federation, signed a joint statement pledging the full unity of the Catholic and Lutheran Churches. This pledge ended the so called reformation, and placed the Protestant religion directly under the authority of Rome. Pope Francis and Mohammed VI, King of Morocco, signed The Jerusalem Declaration, which declared an official military alliance between Rome and the Islamic state of Morocco. This alliance included a declaration stating that Jerusalem would be the headquarters of a new world religion. On the 11th of February 2019 in Abu Dhabi, Pope Francis and Sheikh Imam Ahmed al-Tayeb, signed an interfaith covenant, officially united Islam with the Roman Catholic Church. This interfaith agreement outlined a global religious code of ethics, which is set to govern the Antichrist one world religion. On the 20th of October 2020, politicians and religious leaders were summoned to Rome by Pope Francis, for the International and Inter-religious Meeting for Peace. These world leaders travelled to Rome to show support for the NEW WORLD ORDER, and to pledge their allegiance to the Catholic Church of Satan. The unification of world religion signals the second coming of Jesus Christ, and these actions identify Pope Francis as the False Prophet described in Bible prophecy.
LEAVE SATAN'S CHURCH
Roman Catholicism is a blasphemous cult, that teaches a perverted gospel and attempts to put itself in place of Jesus Christ. This universal church of Satan has led billions of souls to hell with its false doctrine, and will lead millions more to hell in the future. The Catholic Church is not the house of God, so I plead with all Catholics to come out from among this corrupt antichrist organisation, and to believe the true gospel of Jesus Christ as it is recorded in the Bible. I would like to finish today's sermon with a scripture from the book of (John 10:1-11) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
