The Catholic Church teaches that infants become children of God once they are baptized. This is a hellish and damning lie. This encourages a trust in a ritual rather than a trust (an on going faith, 1 Corinthians 15:2; Hebrews 3:14) in the living Savior for re-birth (Romans 3:21-22; 1 Peter 1:3-5; 3:21). Catechism #1250 - …"The Church and the parents would deny a child the priceless grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer Baptism shortly after birth." The above misrepresentation regarding infant baptismal regeneration is nowhere taught in the scriptures. Only God can do this. All human baptisms accomplish (if done by properly anointed priests – which I might add is also foreordained by God and God alone) is to cleans the flesh of past, present, or future sins. One can only cleanse another with the cleanliness they themselves possess. In other words, any priest claiming to clean an infant should have his head examined! 3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, If one is not generated from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God. (John 3) Basically, the roman catholic church is doing as the Jews of old by teaching "as doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:9). The list of pharisaical practices goes on and on, however I cannot spend any more time on this right now. We will come back to some of this later. We are only touching the fringes of scriptural understanding here. If you want all of the details you may want to peruse our websites at your leisure. Getting back to our earlier exposing of the Anti-Christ….. More of their antics…..
8. It was to "make war on God's saints." ... the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them. Daniel 7:21 NKJV The little horn power was thus to be a persecuting power that would war against God's people, and have success against them. It is a fact of history that the great wars of Europe were fought on religious grounds. The Protestants of Europe were relentlessly persecuted by Rome. Europe was plunged into the 'Thirty-year war' and the 'Hundred-year war' with the sole purpose of destroying the Protestant Reformation. The Waldenses, the Albigensers, the Huguenots were all relentlessly persecuted, and the Inquisition ordered the cruelest of punishments to be executed by the princes of Europe upon all those who refused to bow to the supremacy of Rome. In 1200 AD Pope Innocent III ordered the king of France to exterminate the Albigensers because they refused to accept the papal teachings and regarded the Bible, not the papacy as the ultimate Word of God. Historians D'Augbigné and Wylie say that more than a million of these innocent people were massacred in one single campaign. 9. It would "think to change times and laws" And shall think to change times and law. Daniel 7:25 Which times and laws would God be particularly concerned about? Surely this must refer to laws that God Himself has established and times which God Himself has set. We know that the Law is the whole Bible, but in particular this may be referring to the Laws of Moses, the Ten Commandments since they are well known. Changing the times and the laws must therefore refer to the attempt to tamper with God's law itself and tampering with times set by God. Has the papacy made an attempt to change the law of God and to interfere in the set times? The answer is indeed 'yes'. Any Catholic catechism will show that the law of God has been changed by the papacy. A comparison with the Bible will show that the Ten Commandments have been tampered with. The second commandment, which refers to images and idols, is absent in the Catholic catechism. And to make up for the loss of one commandment, the tenth is divided into two. The fourth commandment concerning the Sabbath day (the only commandment dealing with time) becomes the third commandment in the Catholic catechism, and the day of worship is shifted by papal decree from the seventh to the first day of the week (Saturday to Sunday). The great papistical debater, Dr. Eck, who on encountering Luther in 1553, said: "There is no mention of the cessation of the Sabbath and the institution of Sunday in the gospels or in Paul's writings? Or in all the Bible; therefore, this has taken place by the apostolic Church instituting it without scripture." 20 Catholic World says: "The church took the pagan philosophy and made it the buckler of faith against the heathen. She took the pagan Sunday and made it the Christian Sunday. There is in truth something royal, something kingly about the sun, making it a fitting emblem of Jesus, the Sun of justice. Hence the church in these countries would seem to have said, 'keep the old pagan name, it shall remain consecrated, sanctified.' And thus the pagan Sunday, dedicated to Balder, became the Christian Sunday, sacred to Jesus." 21 The Catholic Mirror, Sept. 23, 1893 says: "The Christian Sabbath is therefore to this day the acknowledged offspring of the Catholic Church, as a spouse of the Holy Ghost, without a word of remonstrance from the Protestant world." Father Enright, Sentinel, June 1893 says and I find this to be most unsettling: "The Bible says 'Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day'. The Catholic church says 'No! By my divine power, I abolish the Sabbath day, and command you to keep holy the first day of the week, and lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the Holy Catholic Church." Catechismus Romanus, 1867, Chap. 3 quotes Pope Pius in 1566: "It pleased the church of God that the religious celebration of the Sabbath day should be transferred to the Lord's day (Sunday)'". Papal Rome thus tampered with the law of God and changed the ordinances, although the Bible declares of God: "For I am the LORD, I change not ...."
