Priesthood of Hell

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 to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26 Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.” (Hebrews 9:25-29) and their Eucharistic sacrifice of Jesus over and over in the Mass is blasphemous! 

The priesthood of Rome is leading people to hell! They teach there is treasury of merit, of Christ, Mary and the Saints that you can open with good deeds and works; penance and mass attendance, when all of this is folly, “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.  For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast.  For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:4-9). These priests make people sons of hell much like Jesus said of the Pharisees, “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.” (Matthew 23:15). In fact, us regular Christian without seminary (cemetery) are priests, “from Jesus, the Christ, who is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins with his own blood and has made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen,” (Revelation 1:5-6, Jerusalem Bible and Jubilee 2000) and “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9). 

Beware of the Roman Catholic priests, they are those who pervert the gospel, “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!  As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!” (Galatians 1:6-9) and who add to the blood of Christ!, “How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?,” (Hebrews 10:29), who forbid marriage for clergy, “Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons, Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth,” (1 Timothy 4:1-3) when the apostles had wives, “Don’t we have the right to bring a believing wife with us as the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers do, and as Peter does?” (1 Corinthians 9:5), who pretend to be mediators when Christ is the mediator, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the Son of Man Christ Jesus,” (1 Timothy 2:5), and who are Roman Catholic priests who are full of dry men’s bones and every impurity such as pedophilia and sexual abuse, “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.” (Matthew 23:27-28). 

The Moravian Brethern spoke well when they said of these priests, “It is better," he said, "to tie a dog to a pulpit than allow a priest to defile it. It is better, oh, women! for your sons to be hangmen than to be priests; for the hangman only kills the body, while the priest kills the soul. Look there," he suddenly exclaimed one Sunday, pointing to a picture of St. Peter on the wall, "there is as much difference between the priests of to-day and the twelve apostles as there is between that old painting and the living St. Peter in heaven. For the priests have put the devil into the sacraments themselves, and are leading you straight to the fires of Hell.” (from "Illustrated History of the Moravian Church" by J.E. Hutton, Hosanna Fellowship Press). I may not entirely agree with the Moravians on everything, but their words here ring true.  I admonish you to stay away from these false apostles and priests who teach a false gospel, “But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent. 4 You put up to easily with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed,” (2 Corinthians 11:3-4) and who disguise themselves as light much like their father the devil, “These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.  So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). Amen.
