The Anti-Christ......"once was...is not...and is again."
"In the last days, they will call bad, good and good, bad."
"There is nothing NEW under the sun."
"If it were possible even the very ELECT of God will be deceived."
RELIGION and POLITICS crucified Christ....2 of the most corrupt and dangerous forms of power known to mankind.
"God's people are a remnant..."called OUT ones".
"God is the SAME, yesterday , today and tomorrow."
Man kind is building his "Tower of Babel" once again, thinking he can make God in his image.

Idolatory and paganism are not part of Catholic doctrine.

Is this kind of like..... annulment is not divorce, it just LOOKS that way?
And Christ paid for our sins in full.......BUT..He just didn't get all of them cause you might have to go visit purgatory. Buying a candle and lighting it will get your loved ones out of there, but who knows how many candles you have to buy or who is there to tell you if you have bought to many candles or not enough candles.
So quick....grab out your little string of beads and chant awhile....God is definately impressed with that.
(I think I read somewhere in scripture where the 12 disciples, were sitting around stringing beads, and Judas said..hey guys, lets forget where Jesus instructed us in praying by saying "Our FATHER who aren't in heaven...and put Jesus's mother in there instead....because after ALL..God who created Adam out of dust and Eve from one rib could not run this show without inventing a sinless woman who can be Mrs. Goddess, who in turn gave birth to God, then we can SELL the beads and people will think they are holy by doing this. And then....we can betray God...hang him on a tree where he can then deny and forsake himself and be put in hell for 3 days for Satan to mess with.
Boy...I tell you, when God said he would send a STRONG delusion on the earth...a person would have to be pretty deluded to believe the way organized religion has taught it.
I read my bible and I can barely match any of these corrupt worldly organizations practices up with any of it. Its so twisted its UNREAL....and people believe it!!!!!!! MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of people.
BTW, your prophecy about Cardinal Arinze being the next Pope and being a -- quoting now -- "man-eater" didn't exactly come true, did it?
Ahh, I can't get away from this thread! Do you congregate with people who think the same way as you or do you just do your own thing? And if you do meet up with others - is there a name you go by?
If you want to understand other positions, rather than just mock them and ridicule them without understanding them, then you need to read some Catholic apologetics. There's lots of books out there. Read books by Scott Hahn, Dave Armstrong, Patrick Madrid, Karl Keating's "Catholicism and Fundamentalism", Stephen Ray's "Upon This Rock", John Henry Newman's "Apologia Pro Vita Sui" and his "An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine", Robert Sungenis's "Not by Scripture Alone", Louis Bouyer's "The Spirit and Forms of Protestantism", and many more. See if you can refute the evidence and argumentation therein. Prove that all these books are wholly mistaken. If you can, then stay right where you are (and publish your refutation so that you can rescue Catholics the world over). But if you can't, then come home to Rome. It is far too easy to attack what you don't understand.
