Things wrong in the "churches" today. Mainly Catholicism and its practices.

There are many practices wrong with modern churches whether you're Catholic, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, etc. We will look at some different things in this study. I’ll say these things with all Christian charity and hope that people understand and repent and turn to God. When I refute things that anger The Lord, we both are grieved at the actions displayed by these people, but this is righteous indignation. The Lord is NOT pleased with many things going on with today’s churches and the way “religion” operates in professing Christianity. 

There is a LOT of very BASIC things that many professing Christians get horribly wrong. We as mankind, yes, we make errors. And I’m not here to say I know everything either. There’s a LOT of things that I need to learn and understand. But myself and many of the brethren do agree on the important things of doctrine especially as pertains to salvation which are plainly taught in the scriptures. But since no prophecy of the scripture is private interpretation you have to come to the conclusion something is horribly wrong. Why does every church system have many different teachings that are found nowhere in scripture. 

Incorrect Baptism, as well as people who think baptism can be done with a water gun to an infant.

 

Look at this picture, you think The Lord is pleased with this? This church leader out to be ashamed of himself. Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Jesus would flip your tables! Those of you who compromise with God’s word and make your churches a house of merchandise and focus on bake sales rather focusing on a place to gather with saved brethren and learn God’s word!

Matthew 21:12

Authorized (King James) Version

“12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,”

2 Peter 1:20

Authorized (King James) Version

“20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.”

1 Corinthians 3:2-4

Authorized (King James) Version

“2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?”

Many have proved that they’re not bible believing Christians. God’s word commands that you study to shew thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 

2 Timothy 3:16-17

Authorized (King James) Version

“16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”

2 Timothy 2:15

Authorized (King James) Version

“15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

One MAJOR thing I want to point out, I’m lookin at you Catholicism, you’re not God’s church, the pope is NOT the “vicar aka substitute” for Christ, There is NO substitute for The Lord Jesus Christ the LIVING GOD! And Mary is a blessed and wonderful woman but she is NOT God, stop praying to her and statues that depict a likeness that you claim is her. She is also NOT your mediator or co-mediator. Jesus Christ is the ONLY mediator between God and men and that is because Jesus Christ is God. The Lord Jesus Christ was also born into the world as a man. If the pope died on a cross it wouldn’t pay for anything, not even  for a grain of sand, or a drop of water. 

Many catholics call their pastors the name “father”, well Jesus has something written about that:

Matthew 23:9

Authorized (King James) Version

“9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.”

And what saith He regarding vain repetition, which we can understand that the rosary is one possible application for today. Those aren’t prayers from the heart, those are things people repeat in vain.

Matthew 6:7

Authorized (King James) Version

“7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.”

And the Eucharist, with them in their feeble minds attempting to resacrifice The Lord every week, even though in real life Jesus made one sacrifice for sins for ever? Look at Hebrews 10:12

Hebrews 10:12

Authorized (King James) Version

“12 but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;”

Now I like to keep these concise but its important to examine the entirety of Hebrews chapter 9.

Hebrews 9

Authorized (King James) Version

“Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. 2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. 3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 4 which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5 and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: 8 the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9 which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10 which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. 18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, 20 saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. 21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: 25 nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; 26 for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”

Get away from Catholicism if you’re in it. Don’t partake in their damnation. Those priests should know better. I feel bad for the Sunday church goer, but they should be reading their bibles and not trusting in some man behind the pulpit. 

Ephesians 5:6-7

Authorized (King James) Version

“6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.”

A man of God should be telling you to search the scriptures. Its your responsibility to see whether the things that someone says is correct. Look at this example:

Acts 17:11

Authorized (King James) Version

“11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

How often? Daily? Some go to church on Sunday and they’ve had their hour and they’re done for the week.
