Antichrist will be a world military/political power, and will NOT be a catholic pope though!

 

The Catholics are coming for you, Protestant America! Your days are counted; they are fast running out. Anti-Christ is pouncing upon you from without and from within, ALREADY!

The Catholic church is the sole power on earth making you read the Scriptures according to its own rendering. There no longer is a Protestant Bible. The fight is over!

Have you been thinking, How it is possible Islamites kill Islamites like termites?

You have seen nothing yet! Wait for the day hastening towards you when the Catholics will exterminate the Protestants still left like mites!

 

Don't worry! We are all wearing our tinfoil hats!

 

Gerhard, your post #4: "There no longer is a Protestant Bible. The fight is over! "

 

Yes, I speak as a man to men. Pal, you've got a surprise coming for you RCs! Read revelation 18, for an example

 

A number of Protestant reformers referred to the Papacy as "man of sin" and as "antichrist".

But to be fair to history and to Martin Luther - the Popes were calling each other "Antichrist" before Martin Luther did it.

Protestant wrote that the early Albigensians were Christians. It is an unfathomably ludicrous claim to say that the Albigensians were Christians.

The Albigensians were neo-manichaeans, they were not even Christian. They were a branch of the ridiculous Cathari movement who are also claimed to be "reformed christians".

We actually know a great deal about the belief and practice of the Cathari/Albigensians. Here are some of their more unusual beliefs:
- Denial of the resurrection of the body
- Gnostic dualism (matter is evil, two "gods": good god and evil god, etc.)
- Denial of eternal damnation
- Endorsed suicide (especially commendable if done by starvation & ritual suicide)
- Forbade marriage, considered fornication superior.
- "Converts" were encouraged to abandon their spouse.
- Child bearing was considered evil.
- Eating meat was considered immoral.
- Belief in reincarnation.
- Christ was merely an angelic being with a phantom body
- Christ did not suffer and die for our sins, or rise from the dead
- Total denial of the redemption, Christ merely came to teach.
- Satan, the evil "god", created the physical world
- Naturally they rejected things such as the Trinity and the Virgin Birth.

Some held the following:
- The Old Testament patriarchs were all damned.
- John the Baptist was a minister of satan sent to thwart Christ's work.

Some even went so far as the reject the Old Testament entirely. This is why the old rule of the Franciscan order states that brothers who refuse the pray the psalms could be expelled from the order. A refusal to pray the psalms would indicate an Albigensian view that the Old Testament is evil. If you don't believe me I would suggest going to a library and getting some books on Christian history by secular historians and respected protestant historians and look up the Albigensians.

 

Question: Do you have a witness against the Albigensians other than from the criminals that slaughtered them as part of their own crimes against humanity?

in Christ,

Bob

 

The idea that the criminals that murder an entire group of people would then find "excuse" and "Character assassination" as the best method of coverup is not at all surprising. What would be interesting is some independents observation - of non-RC origin. Someone without a conflict of interest.

Hint: see the supposedly "Infallible" - "Doctrine of Discovery" upheld by the RCC to this very day - along with the "extermination edict" in LATERAN IV.

As for the infallible "Doctrine of Discovery"

in Christ,

Bob

 

The Doctrine of Discovery was not at all a "Doctrine" as we understand.

Sublimus Dei, which is in favor of native rights. Another, earlier document in favor of native rights is Sicut Dudum from 1435.

In it, Pope Eugene IV said, “All and each of the faithful of each sex, within the space of fifteen days of the publication of these letters in the place where they live, [must] restore to their earlier liberty all and each person of either sex who were once residents of the Canary Islands...who have been made subject to slavery. These people are to be totally and perpetually free and are to be let go without the exaction or reception of any money. If this is not done [within] the fifteen days...they incur the sentence of excommunication by the act itself.” (Sicut Dudum)
The papal documents it mentions do not make it okay for Christians to take over lands that are owned by other people. It is only talking about undiscovered lands. If the Indians were already there, then obviously their lands had already been discovered...by the Indians, centuries or millenia before. Therefore, the doctrine of discovery wouldn't apply to lands owned by the Indians.

The only problem is that the article, like many of their articles, skews the truth to support their strong bias against the Church. It's sad that they do this, as it goes against the objectivity journalism deserves, but it reflects what many people in general think about the Church and were often taught in school. In truth, throughout history the Church advocated for human rights and dignity when few if any others did. For example, very soon after Constantine, one of the first requests of the Church was for Rome to disband the barbaric gladiatorial games. Also, their stance against slavery and in favor of natives' rights came 400 years before the Gettysburg Address. In truth, America thought of slaves and natives as little above animals, and justified their enslavement or genocide with concepts such as doctrine of discovery and manifest destiny. Sadly, many Catholics did this too, but due to the influence of the Church it was to a much lesser degree, hence why in Catholic lands in the New World there was virtually no slavery and most natives blended with the settlers.

Hope that clears up your confusion.
