Catholics read all AROUND the Bible, but they never read THE Bible.

Does the Bible not interpret itself?

Notice Revelation 13:15-16:

“And he had power
to give life unto the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both
speak,
and cause
that as many as would not worship the image of the beast
should be killed.
And he causeth all . . . to receive a mark
in their right hand,
or in their foreheads” (Rev. 13:15-16).

Now here is a deceived church—both herself deceived by, and therefore used by the devil, and also deceiving the world.
Notice, this church did not actually herself kill these mar­tyrs—she merely caused them to be killed.
And she it was, too, who CAUSES all under her domination to receive the dread MARK of the beast.



The Brand of Rome



Notice carefully what the above text tells us:

1) “He”—the leader who originated human civil govern­ment, modeled after that of the Roman Empire, in the Church.

2) “Causeth” all to receive this mark.
It is the church, not the civil government, which forces this brand on people.

3) It is the same power which caused the martyrdom of saints.

4) It brands on the people the mark of the “beast”—that is, the mark of the Roman Empire, not the mark of the church.

5) This mark is received in the right hand, and in the forehead.

So the MARK is that of the Roman Empire, which this CHURCH did cause or shall cause the western world to receive.

Where or what is this mark? Be precise.

And they teach that most of the bible is allegory...What they read is alleged to mean something else...But they don't have a clue what that something else is...They don't have any legitimate idea what the bible really teaches...And then they have people going around teaching the bible to each other...

What's hilarious is they admit they are lost in the book of Revelation and expect everyone else to be lost as well...
