"And Immaculate Conception means that Mary was concieved without sin"

I remain amazed at unscriptural Catholic teachings such as that, and total rejection of Peter's message on what to do for remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Jesus didn't fail to teach him right. Peter preached exactly what he was told to preach.

So after that day of Pentecost, the message remains the same. Who would change it? Who desires that people die in their sins? That's right. Satan. And he has put forth, numerous religious rituals to appeal to "lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life" to replace God's ordained plan of salvation.

The apostle John warned of anti-christs existing even in his day. Paul warned of "false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." 2 Cor. 11:13-15.

The "few there be that find it" (Matt. 7:14), body of Christ, has existed from the beginning of the church, and has never gone forth conquering, and confiscating property to build wealth and grow in numbers. The church Jesus founded was to love their neighbor as themselves. Wise as serpents, harmless as doves.

And now I bid goodnight to all, be back in a few days.

Oh, and remember this: For Satan and his ministers to look righteous, they have to do righteous works. And that they do. A little or a lot. But when it comes to remission of sins, the demon deception effort is to the max.
