CLAIM: The Catholic Church gave us the Holy Bible. You should be grateful! TRUTH: No, the Catholic Church did not give us the Holy Bible. If anything, they kept it from the world. It was the Jews and the Protestants who gave us the Holy Bible—and many of them voluntarily paid for it with their own blood. First and foremost, God Almighty entrusted His Word to the Jews. God’s people received it, recorded it, and faithfully copied it down on scrolls generation after generation. Many Jews willingly gave their lives and subjected themselves to horrific tortures and brutal death at the hands of both Greeks and Romans—all to ensure that the Word of God survived. It was the Jews who canonized all 39 books of the Hebrew Scriptures (Genesis to Malachi), and they did it about 500 years before the Catholic Church even existed. The Catholic Church had ZERO influence determining which books of the “Old Testament” were Scripture. I repeat: ZERO. That was 100% the Jews. The only thing the Catholic Church determined was what books should be included in the New Testament—the same New Testament books that were also written by THE JEWS. So, no, the Catholic Church actually did extraordinarily little when it came to providing the world with the Holy Bible. In fact, the Catholic Church FORBADE the common man from even reading the Bible—desiring to keep the people chained to the pulpit and enslaved to the false teachings and traditions of Catholicism. 1000+ years after the Catholic Church was established, we had the Protestant Reformation that started in 1517 with Martin Luther’s 95 Theses against the Catholic Church. Unlike the Catholic Church that kept the Word of God from the people, the Great Protestant Reformers worked tirelessly to translate the Bible into English so the common man could read it and study it for themselves—so that THE TRUTH of God’s Word could set them FREE from the authoritarian rule of the Catholic Church. And like the Jews before them, many of the Reformers willingly gave their lives so that YOU could have the Holy Bible. The Catholic Church literally hunted these courageous men down, imprisoned them, tortured them, and murdered them. The only reason we have the Bible today is because (1) the Jews wrote it and passed it down, and (2) the Protestant Reformers gave their lives to translate it and print it into English. So, no. I’m not grateful to the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is an enemy to God and an enemy to the truth of His Word that sets souls free. Stress this point: I am NOT necessarily talking about Catholics—the people. God knows and I know that there are plenty of Catholics who are genuinely wonderful people, and I thank God for them. I’m talking about the Catholic Church itself—the institution and the religion. I’m talking about that theological abomination that has the blood of untold numbers of faithful servants of God on their hands. Thank God for the Jews and the Protestants! Without them, we’d still be chained to the pulpit of the Catholic Church and left in spiritual darkness.

@iAm_Odogwu @Ukpahiojojames That may be your interpretation, but the interpretation of every theologian since Augustine has been that Original Sin is something that you are born with since the Fall, not something that has anything to do with passing sin on to your child.

@StillDeacon @Ukpahiojojames "Original sin" here is conceiving a child the normal human way which wasn't the case in the conception of Jesus Christ. Not that Mary herself was sinless.

LET ME GIVE YOU JUST 8 1. Praying to Mary and the Saints Practice: Asking Mary and saints to intercede in prayer Bible 👉1 Timothy 2:5 — One mediator between God and man (Jesus) Deuteronomy 18:10–12 — forbids contacting the dead 2. Confession to a Priest Practice: Confessing sins to a priest for absolution Bible👉1 John 1:9 — confess sins to God Christ alone can forgive sin and Him alone we should confess to. 3. The Pope as Supreme Head of the Church. Practice: The Pope is the visible head of the Church Bible 👉Colossians 1:18 — Christ is the head of the Church No verse establishes a continuing office with universal authority The Bible does not establish a single human leader over all Christians. 4. Veneration of Images/Statues Practice: Bowing, kneeling, or praying before statues/icons Bible 👉 Exodus 20:4. "You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5. you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, Any religious bowing before images violates the commandment. 5. Purgatory Practice: A temporary place of purification after death Bible 👉Hebrews 9:27. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, after death comes judgement. The Bible does not teach a middle state after death. 6. Indulgences Practice: Reduction of punishment for sin Bible 👉Ephesians 2:8–9 — salvation by grace, not works. You cannot reduce punishment for sin through actions and you don't pay money for it. Salvation belongs to Christ alone. 7. Immaculate Conception of Mary Practice: Mary was born without sin Bible 👉Romans 3:23 — all have sinned The doctrine is not stated anywhere in Scripture. 8. Pope as “Vicar of Christ” Practice: The Pope acts as Christ’s representative on earth Bible 👉John 14:16. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever The Bible presents the Holy Spirit as Christ’s representative—not a human leader.

This is just as blasphemous as the picture Trump posted. They put Mary in the place of Christ and give glory to her which is only due to Christ, just like Trump tried to do. They placed HER on the throne, and show HER crushing the serpent, despite Jesus being the one reigning and ruling, and crushing the serpents head. If you had a problem with Trumps meme(which I did) but are okay with this, then you need to reevaluate your beliefs.

@e_fosa08 Ok maybe I’m dumb, but what is the point of asking this question if you haven’t seen the show? Is it just engagement bait?

Why didn’t Cecil capture some dead Viltrumites and turn them to Re-animan Viltrumites ?

Finally, someone said it. 6/10 album, not a bad album, a mid album at worst.

@RayRapOpinions “One of these things does not belong” ahh

Delete one of these albums

@Ukpahiojojames Thanks for the good work brother-in-Christ. I pray for our Catholic brothers and sisters who have been led astray by false teachers 🙏

@iAm_Odogwu @Ukpahiojojames “The most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instant of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin.” — Pope Pius IX 1854

@Ukpahiojojames I'm Catholic. That is what Immaculate Conception is about. You can bring any evidence that says contrary to it.

@YZYFRANCE1 No, there’s a lot of bangers on it, it’s overhated
