I repent of my errors.
I have been worshipping Mary, a piece of bread & some wine.
This is all Pagan. I was wrong.
I’m reaching out to @farmingandJesus and @LizzieMarbach tonight to ask them how to convert to Biblical Christianity.
I have much to learn.
Please pray for me.🙏
The idolatry of the Eucharist cannot exist without the blasphemy of the Mass.
Millions of Catholics today believe
that a priest has the power… to bring Christ down from heaven…
to offer Him again… and again…
on an altar.
But Scripture says Christ was offered once for all.
Jesus said, “It is finished.”
So today we’re going to open the Bible…
and look at what Catholicism actually teaches…
and test everything… against the Word of God.
Because this is not a small error…
this is the difference between true worship… and idolatry.

@BreeSolstad@LizzieMarbach Always here when you’re serious. I know it’s April 1 but what you said was more true than you’re willing to admit :) God bless you Bree , always praying for your conversion to truth!
Sweet. I first discovered the Daniel connection through Brant Pitre in the Matt Fradd podcast. I'll read/watch anything that Pitre creates. He's a fascinating scholar.
I haven't heard of Steve Ray, but I'm going to look that up now. I appreciate the suggestion. I'm very new to this, so I'm discovering mountains and mountains of content that I had no idea existed. I'm really drinking from the firehose right now and loving every second of it.
Appreciate it. <3
@blister@Catholic_bro I knew the connection between Eliakim and Peter, but the part with Daniel 2 blew my mind. Thank you very much for your comment. May God bless you and your family.
What convinced me is Matthew 16:18-19. It feels incredibly clear that Jesus is giving Peter a specific role.
That ties in to Isaiah 22:20-23 where the "keys to the kingdom" language is used about Eliakim and gives him the keys to manage the Kingdom of David.
What makes Matthew even more beautiful is that it also calls back directly to the prophecy in Daniel 2, where the statue depicting the four kingdoms: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and then a fifth Kingdom growing out of the rubble of the statue that is smashed by a "stone" that starts out small and grows into a mountain that covers the entire world and remain forever.
Matthew started this entire journey. If it's true, and example in Isaiah and prophecy of Daniel are also true, then I had to look for a Kingdom on Earth that took over from Rome, still exists today, and is managed by Jesus' representative holding the keys that He gave to Peter.
Everything else in the New Testament, read through that lens, points to a beautiful example of Jesus showing his apostles how to build that church, and then the other books showing us how the apostles took that teaching and turned that early Church into the universal global Church we have today, centered in Rome that has outlasted all other earthly kingdoms.
Daniel also explains why Peter quickly rushes over to Rome, and why a few hundred years later, Constantine the Great converts and allows that fifth Kingdom, described in Daniel, to spread the gospel around the world for the last 2000 years.
This was the exact intellectual path I took to get here just a few short months ago, and I continue to find beautiful strength and meaning in this wonderful plan God laid out for us so that we could be a part of his everlasting Kingdom.
It is impossible for me to think that Jesus was wrong and that somewhere along the way, we got things so wrong that his real desire was to discard our unity and split off into thousands of unique sects all practicing different beliefs. God will definitely use that for His will, but I can't believe it's what He intended.
@needGod_net I think every Catholic is in constant terror of not being a real Christian because deep down they know how hypocritical they and their Papacy are. They don't believe in being born again, so they become complacent in their sin, then force a showing of penitence for their own ego.
