Do we really need another anti-Protestant thread? Y’all must be very unsure of your beliefs to post this junk. I am Southern Baptist, believe the Bible to be the word of God and nothing you Catholics say will change that. What purpose does this serve?
A small number of people post these obnixious things. Then when Protestants push back they cry about anti-Catholic bigotry.
The purpose? God only knows their hearts.
I have no idea what purpose these threads serve, but I give thanks that the enemies of God create continual opportunities to quote Scripture and spread the gospel of free grace. We have no idea how The Lord might use our responses. I pray He leads Catholics and lurkers unknown to Christ through the one and only gospel that is the “power of God unto salvation.” (Romans 9:16) I pray those evangelicals who are soft on Rome will be reminded of her apostasy and wickedness and come to understand that separation from Rome was right in the 16th century and it remains right today.
I too am Baptist and I agree with what the great 19th century Baptist Charles Spurgeon said of Rome:
“It is the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against Antichrist, and as to what Antichrist is no sane man ought to raise a question. If it be not the popery in the Church of Rome there is nothing in the world that can be called by that name. If there were to be issued a hue and cry for Antichrist, we should certainly take up this church on suspicion, and it would certainly not be let loose again, for it so exactly answers the description.”
“Popery is contrary to Christ’s Gospel, and is the Antichrist, and we ought to pray against it. It should be the daily prayer of every believer that Antichrist might be hurled like a millstone into the flood and for Christ, because it wounds Christ, because it robs Christ of His glory, because it puts sacramental efficacy in the place of His atonement, and lifts a piece of bread into the place of the Saviour, and a few drops of water into the place of the Holy Ghost, and puts a mere fallible man like ourselves up as the vicar of Christ on earth; if we pray against it, because it is against Him, we shall love the persons though we hate their errors: we shall love their souls though we loath and detest their dogmas, and so the breath of our prayers will be sweetened, because we turn our faces towards Christ when we pray.”
