CBN, known as Christian Broadcasting Network was founded by Protestant Pastor Pat Robertson. Over the years the station has veered towards ecumenicalism (interdenominational) and ecumenism (interfaith). Their latest move is bound to please Catholics, as CBN has made a movie event about St. Patrick’s life. It is interesting how Protestants in America celebrate St. Pattie’s Day, when in Ireland, the home of Patricas’ (Patrix, St. Patrick) mission, Protestants refuse to participate in a Catholic holiday and wear the color Orange for William of Orange who defeated the Catholics instead of the traditional green.  There are many who think it is petty to take a stand against Catholic or even Eastern Orthodox practices. They think we have more ground in common, but in truth Protestant celebration of Catholic feasts is a gateway to compromise and infection that has already lead to Anglican Prayer Beads (Rosaries), Eastern Orthodox Icons, tolerance of saint statues, going to masses, rea

The Roman Catholic priests are much akin to their Pharisee forerunners. They do bot lead people to Christ, but instead preach another gospel (2 Corinthians 11:2-4) and deny St. Peter’s testimomy that we are saved by Grace (Acts 15:1-12). These priests subvert the truth that only the grace of Christ and faith in Him saves (John 3:16-18, John 6:40, Ephesians 2:4-9, Philippians 3:9). They teach manmade doctrines, “You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men. And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!” (Mark 7:8-9) and manmade religion, “These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.” (Colossians 2:23 ESV). These Roman Priests refuse to accept that Jesus Alone is the High Priest, and that He had made a sacrifice once for all time, “Nor did he enter heaven t

It would be an understatement to say that Christendom, the Church, is under siege. Persecution and scandal are sifting the Body of Christ, reminding us of Christ and Cephas’ words, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.  If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.  If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.  Whoever hates me hates my Father as well.  If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me an

Our opponents often poke fun at the fact that our churches are divided into many sects and that no one church can seem to unify wither Evangelical or Presbyterian. There are even schisms within denominations themselves over social issues, with churches splitting in two over same-sex marriage and ordination of homosexuals. Protestantism seems to scholars a fragmented and chaotic lot, especially when compared with  Roman Catholicism. The truth is Protestantism is less a organization or group than an commitment to an ideal. While the Roman Church seems to be unified despite its radical sects of Liberal Catholics to Sedevacantists and Charismatics, Protestantism splinters and morphs because it is endeavoring to stick to a important Protestant Principle, Solae Scriptura:    “The term “Protestant” has its origins in the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation and its challenges to the Roman Catholic Church. Now recognized as one of the principal branches of Christianity, along wit

The Holy Bible and the preaching of the Evangelion (Gospel) was always translated into the common tongue. The New Testament was not written in Aramaic or Hebrew, but Koine Greek, the language of all people from Palestine to Palatine Hill Rome. The goal was accessibility to the gospels and the letters of the apostles that contained the Message of Jesus Christ. What is staggering is how when the Bible was translated into Latin by Jerome in 405 A.D., it remained in this language that even the priests could not fully grasp for 1,195 years! It took Luther translating the New Testament into German in 1522 A.D., and William Tyndale translating the Bible into English in 1526 A.D. to break the Scriptures free of the Latin Captivity. Since the Reformation it has been crucial to ensure the Scriptures be translated into native languages so that another Babylonian Captivity does not once again obscure the Alpha and Omega’s Inspired Texts in a dead language like Latin.  It is incredible tha

The concept of a intermediate place between heaven and hell dates back to the comcept of Abraham’s Bosom (Luke 16:19-31), the place were the Old Testament Prophets, Teachers, and Heroes like King David awaited tell Christ Jesus our Lord died and harrowed hell, and emptied it (1 Peter 3:18-20).  Unfortunately, the Purgatorium lives on in Roman Catholic tradition. It was invented in 1160 A.D. and wasn’t made a dogma of the Romanite Church until The Council of Lyons in 1245 A.D. The idea evolved from a Maccabean false belief in Judaism that ones prayers could purify (purgate) the dead souls in purgatory so that they could go to heaven (2 Maccabees 12:42-44). This entire ideal is antichrist, for there is one mediator between God and Man, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,” (2 Timothy 2:5), and we are permitted to enter holiest place by Christ’s blood and need only His blood’s purification, “And so, dear brothers and sisters, we ca

In Roman Catholicism there is distinctive image, one of a heart aflame that is  surrounded by a crown of thrones. Aside from the Crucifix and the Madonna, the Sacred Heart is perhaps one of the most important symbols in the Romanite Church. Its origin is obscure. We do know it was not a practice of the Church to venerate the physical heart of Jesus for ten centuries. The Lord Jesus, nor his apostles devote any passages to this sacros cardi. It is believed to have evolved put from a devotion to the Sacred Wounds of Christ: His hands, Feet, Side, and head. The Sacred Wounds Cults come from a misinterpretation of Paul’s words, “From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus,” (Galatians 6:17). What the apostle was referring to was not the creepy Stigmata that allegedly St. Francis of Assisi received, but that Paul would be persecuted for Christ’s sake, “But the Lord said, “Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and
