Let them Call the witch-hunts "profane" and the victims were people
The Book of Mormon is very specific about stories a prophets that were burned the stakes. the powerful political leaders were antichrists, their abuse of power was among the greatest of evils.
........................................................................................................................................
a great story of the Book of mormon describes the wickedness of men who abuse their power because of unrighteousness.
8And they brought their wives and children together, and whosoever believed or had been taught to believe in the word of God they caused that they should be acast into the fire; and they also brought forth their records which contained the holy scriptures, and cast them into the fire also, that they might be bburned and destroyed by fire.
9And it came to pass that they took Alma and Amulek, and carried them forth to the place of amartyrdom, that they might witness the destruction of those who were consumed by fire.
10And when Amulek saw the pains of the women and children who were consuming in the fire, he also was pained; and he said unto Alma: How can we witness this awful scene? Therefore let us stretch forth our hands, and exercise the apower of God which is in us, and save them from the flames.
11But Alma said unto him: The Spirit constraineth me that I must not stretch forth mine hand; for behold the Lord receiveth them up unto himself, in aglory; and he doth suffer that they may do this thing, or that the people may do this thing unto them, according to the hardness of their hearts, that the bjudgments which he shall exercise upon them in his wrath may be just; and the cblood of the dinnocent shall stand as a witness against them, yea, and cry mightily against them at the last day.
12Now Amulek said unto Alma: Behold, perhaps they will burn us also.
13And Alma said: Be it according to the will of the Lord. But, behold, our work is not finished; therefore they burn us not.
14Now it came to pass that when the bodies of those who had been cast into the fire were consumed, and also the records which were cast in with them, the chief judge of the land came and stood before Alma and Amulek, as they were bound; and he smote them with his hand upon their acheeks, and said unto them: After what ye have seen, will ye preach again unto this people, that they shall be cast into a blake of fire and brimstone?
15Behold, ye see that ye had not power to save those who had been cast into the fire; neither has God saved them because they were of thy faith. And the judge smote them again upon their cheeks, and asked: What say ye for yourselves?
16Now this judge was after the order and faith of aNehor, who slew Gideon.
17And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek answered him anothing; and he smote them again, and delivered them to the officers to be bcast into prison.
18And when they had been cast into prison three days, there came many alawyers, and judges, and priests, and teachers, who were of the profession of Nehor; and they came in unto the prison to see them, and they questioned them about many words; but they answered them nothing.
19And it came to pass that the judge stood before them, and said: Why do ye not answer the words of this people? Know ye not that I have apower to deliver you up unto the flames? And he bcommanded them to speak; but they answered nothing.
20And it came to pass that they departed and went their ways, but came again on the morrow; and the judge also smote them again on their cheeks. And many came forth also, and smote them, saying: Will ye stand again and judge this people, and condemn our law? If ye have such great power why do ye not adeliver yourselves?
21And many such things did they say unto them, gnashing their teeth upon them, and spitting upon them, and saying: How shall we look when we are damned?
22And many such things, yea, all manner of such things did they say unto them; and thus they did amock them for many days. And they did withhold food from them that they might hunger, and water that they might thirst; and they also did take from them their clothes that they were naked; and thus they were bbound with strong cords, and confined in cprison.
23And it came to pass after they had thus suffered for many days, (and it was on the twelfth day, in the tenth month, in the tenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi) that the chief judge over the land of aAmmonihah and many of their teachers and their lawyers went in unto the prison where Alma and Amulek were bound with cords.
24And the chief judge stood before them, and smote them again, and said unto them: If ye have the apower of God deliver yourselves from these bands, and then we will believe that the Lord will destroy this people according to your words.
25And it came to pass that they all went forth and smote them, saying the same words, even until the last; and when the last had spoken unto them the apower of God was upon Alma and Amulek, and they rose and stood upon their feet.
26And Alma cried, saying: How long shall we suffer these great aafflictions, O Lord? O Lord, bgive us strength according to our faith which is in Christ, even unto cdeliverance. And they broke the cords with which they were bound; and when the people saw this, they began to flee, for the fear of destruction had come upon them.
27And it came to pass that so great was their fear that they fell to the earth, and did not obtain the outer door of the aprison; and the earth shook mightily, and the walls of the prison were rent in twain, so that they fell to the earth; and the chief judge, and the lawyers, and priests, and teachers, who smote upon Alma and Amulek, were slain by the fall thereof.
28And Alma and Amulek came forth out of the prison, and they were not hurt; for the Lord had granted unto them apower, according to their faith which was in Christ. And they straightway came forth out of the prison; and they were bloosed from their cbands; and the prison had fallen to the earth, and every soul within the walls thereof, save it were Alma and Amulek, was slain; and they straightway came forth into the city.
29Now the people having heard a great noise came running together by multitudes to know the cause of it; and when they saw Alma and Amulek coming forth out of the prison, and the walls thereof had fallen to the earth, they were struck with great fear, and fled from the presence of Alma and Amulek even as a goat fleeth with her young from two lions; and thus they did flee from the presence of Alma and Amulek.

the stories do not end there,
the salem witch trials began with the earnest desire to keep the commandments of God, when it was found that 3 girls were caught with a book of witchcraft. the girls themselves turned the guiltiness from their own heads, to the allegations of innocent people who were killed in other profane ways.
Clearly these recent historical events were what the founding Fathers of U.S. were thinking of when they created Amendment 8, and denied excessive Bail, or cruel and unusual punishment.
http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html
clearly the Catholic church had a history of this kind of abuse of power, and also historicallly the Nazi Regime of Germany did similar things against the Jews, and also in every part of history, abuses of men by Government and Wicked Men have risen in every society where Atheism and satanism has flourished. in many instances the Lust for blood has turned into cannibalism as religious rituals.
None of these things should be done.
For if it be the will of God, He will Judge the world and the people therein.

3 Nephi 9:10
And behold, the city of Laman, and the city of Josh, and the city of Gad, and the city of Kishkumen, have I caused to be burned with fire, and the inhabitants thereof, because of their wickedness in casting out the prophets, and stoning those whom I did send to declare unto them concerning their wickedness and their abominations.
Doctrine and Covenants 63:
17Wherefore, I, the Lord, have said that the fearful, and the unbelieving, and all liars, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie, and the whoremonger, and the sorcerer, shall have their part in that lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
18Verily I say, that they shall not have part in the first resurrection.
19And now behold, I, the Lord, say unto you that ye are not justified, because these things are among you.
................................................................................................................................................
wickedness and abominations and sorceries and witchcrafts, priestcrafts, and secret combinations are the buzz-words of a people that are MORE wicked than others.
The book of mormon and D&C do allow the use of Herbs with "prudence" but the bible condemns the use of Homeopathy. while, at the same time, describing God giving commandment to gather ingredients to create a medicine that cures a poison of the land. So, there is something to be said for having medicines. which are allowed, and something to be said for creating poisons that are not allowed.
Some medicines are the same thing as poison. Most drugs and pharmecuticals will Kill a person by simply causing Organ failure. i am told that ALL drugs cause psychosis. through Eugenics, wicked men are waging war against honest people. these sciences might just as well be called witchcraft and sorcery, there are definitely secret combinations behind the deeds of men and government. these things can be called sorceries because of mind control and because of poison. Simply put, 100 thousand people die each year because of pharmecuticals, some statistics say as many as 300 thousand a year. And yet the Government spends trillions of dollars in a war against terrorism for the sake of a couple thousand dead civilians and ignore the minimum of 28 thousand dead at the South borders of texas and arizona. The government is becoming what the Other types of societies have already been described. The patriot act, was written by such wicked men that are similar to Nazi Germany, which laws destroy freedom and liberty and make patriots and christians, alike with jews, to be enemies of the state. Such laws PROVE that american politicians are the same as Nazi Germany.
unless men repent, it will be God that judges the political witchcrafts and the people of america. and whereever Atheism and tyrannical dictatorships are found.
Can WE THE PEOPLE repent of our ways? can we turn away from our sins and forsake evil? can evil men Stop what they are doing, or will it be said in our generation, the same thing that was said in the land when God destroyed everyone except the More righteous. ? !
3 Nephi 7:7
And they did cause a great contention in the land, insomuch that the more righteous part of the people had nearly all become wicked; yea, there were but few righteous men among them.
3 Nephi 9:13
O all ye that are spared because ye were more righteous than they, will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you?

all presidents since Kennedy are murderers
the scriptures say, that those who shed innocent blood are murderers.
after watching Alex Jones terror storm, i learned a valueable history Lesson, which cannot be denied. 5 epoch false flag Conspiracies were enacted and described in as few as 16 minutes of the beginning of the video.
if these allegation are true, War crimes, indictments and prosecution MUST be implemented against all living presidents or Justice is DEAD. including Obamma. and Bush Sr. and Bush jr.

MOVIE - Fallen
Find A Movie
link to movie fallen
i rented this movie, and found it entertaining as a variable theology.
its four hours long, so dont think you can rent this and view on a casual night.
its worth watching to me, for a couple of reasons.
i mentioned this on Q&A R&S as an alternate theology theory how, sons of God and saviours might be born.
however, on Yahoo, when i wrote what i did, i didnt realize that this Redeemer was a half breed Nephelim.
in this movie the Angels consider all nephelim as bastards.
of course, in the book of genesis, Nephelim were taught to be GIANTs born of fallen angels and mortal women.
however, in LDS theology, i found a statement ONCE about how this contemporary story could be vain imagination.
or something that has been distorted from what it really meant.

Did jesus found the catholic church...i have a bible verse?
ok. so FIRST off, jesus chose 12 apostles, and peter as the 'head'
person he told him in Matthew 16:18 - 19: "and so i say to you, you are
Peter, and upon this rock i will build my church, and the gates of the
netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to
the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
so the 12 apostles were suppose to spread the word of God and they
needed more people to do that too, so they appointed bishops and
priests....well. the catholic church has popes and the first one was
peter and through matthew 16:18-19 with jesus saying MY church and
giving peter the keys to his kingdom...shouldn't it be said that Jesus
founded the catholic church. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! listen.
CATHOLIC is just a name....a WORD. JUST because it isn't IN the Bible
doesn't mean it is not true. catholics gave names to the definitions
that didn't have a name to belong to it. btw purgatory isn't in the
bible BUT it is mentioned figuratively through many verses, catholics
just put a NAME to it.
Sorry for all the caps, but i wanted to get my point across. somewhere.
Please give answers that had some thought to it.
i dont think the catholic church was EVEN begun with PETER.
in protestant bibles there are verses that are missing in the NiV
jesus turned to Peter and rebuked him: saying Satan you do not desire
what the will of God is.
Mark 8: 33
33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he
rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not
the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
that said: if there is a remote FACT that Peter did become the first
POPE, which i highly doubt, by the 8th and 9th the catholic church
defaulted on the commandment of God to Marry and made priests to become
Celibate. before those dates celibacy was not the RULE it was the
exception.
and if you dont accept this, there were two rivalrys between families
that practiced poisoning among themselve and 2 popes that were actually
excommunicated.
so the verses in Galatian 1:6-9 actually does pertain to the catholics
just as much as it does to protestants.
if Mark 8:33 is true, and Jesus turned to peter but was speaking to
satan! does this mean Peter was posessed
if he was literally rebuking Peter, it would also be symbolic of
rebuking the entire catholic church for following the Things That MEN
LOVE, more than the thigns of God.
to be fair, i have been taught that this verse 8:33 doesnt exist in
original documents.
but if it didnt "exist" in the first place it proves that scriptures
have been altered in the 2nd place.
somewhere in history Someone is lying and altering text. and did not
jesus say scriptures cannot be broken. ?
other people answered:
Catholicism is not Christian. Catholicism leads to eternal torment in
hell, because catholicism teaches works for salvation, and that is a
false gospel of works (Galatians 1:6-9) that is against JESUS'S free
gift of salvation!
And catholicism will not give you a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with Jesus,
which is what JESUS wants with you!
So, you need to get away from catholicism, and instead, believe in JESUS
for His free gift of salvation!
It's clear from the Book of Acts in the Bible that catholics didn't even
exist during the days of Acts. Catholicism didn't exist for over 300
years after Jesus. And catholicism didn't exist for over 200 years after
the Bible was complete and compiled. Those in the Book of Acts are the
first Christians, and they believed what would be called fundamentalist
doctrine today. ANYONE can read the Book of Acts for themselves and see.
Had catholicism existed during the time of Acts, the first Christians
would have rejected catholicism completely.
And there is no "pope" in the Bible. Every "pope" is a false prophet.
Also there's TONS of Christians who also completely rejected
catholicism, long before Martin Luther was even born. Catholicism
murdered millions and millions of Christians. :*(
So not only is it wrong for anyone to say that "catholics were the first
Christians", but this blows away the catholic claim that "no churches
existed other than the catholic church, until Martin Luther".
There were ALWAYS saved believers outside the catholic cult, who knew
catholicism cannot save anyone.
Catholicism cannot save. Only believing in Jesus for His free gift of
salvation, is what saves!
So, catholics need to get away from catholicism, and instead, believe in
JESUS for His free gift of salvation!
Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much! :D And the Trinity is
true!
The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into
heaven and avoid being sent to hell, is by believing in Jesus for His
free gift of salvation, believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God,
died on the cross for all our sins as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and
then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe in Jesus
for His free gift of salvation, and you will be in heaven, no matter
what!
Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe
in Jesus alone to save you! It is impossible to lose or "leave"
salvation (John 6:39-40, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13).
Please pray now: "Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross to pay for
my sins and that You rose from the dead, and I thank You for eternal
life!" You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die! :D

No. Catholicism is false. The rock is Jesus.
Catholicism isn't Christian. They worship the pope when they should be
worshiping Jesus, man made rules, teach works for salvation, added books
to the Bible, worship statues and loads of other idolatry. It can't
save. Only Jesus can. Please pray a sincere prayer with all of your
heart admitting to Jesus you are a sinner. Have full faith that His
blood pays off all of your sins and accept His gift of everlasting life.
I pray that God blesses you with peace. Amen.

The "Rock" that Jesus spoke of in that verse is the faith in Jesus
Christ as Lord and Savior. It is not Peter himself but rather what peter
believed about Jesus that was the rock Jesus described.
I'm sorry you are confused. But I hope you figure it out soon.
12 minutes ago
no, the Rock is Jesus. The Church is not built on the apostles, but
Jesus.
Jesus also called Peter "Satan".
The word "catholic" meant universal. Ironically, the Catholic church was
the first non denominational fellowship. These days it is the most
denominational.

no, it was founded by the roman empire more than 300 years after Jesus
death.
It would be like a government in the year 2310 starting a religion based
on the life of Barack Obama and claiming that he was the one who started
the religion.
Apparently some historians see it as attempt to stop the roman empire
disintegrating.

Jesus never gave any authority to written Scripture but instead to His
Church who in turn wrote Scripture to be interpreted within His Church
under the authority given by Him. St. Paul confirms this authority of
the Church through apostolic succession when He instructed to hold fast
what was taught by Word (oral) and letter (written). The Church does not
have the authority to relinquish that which God has given regardless of
the burden of protecting the Church. The Scriptures promise that this
Church is the “bulwark and ground of the truth” and that promise will
forever remain true.
The Church was also given the authority to come to clearer understanding
of the truth in the living Church but such understanding should not take
away from the teaching of the apostles but illuminate it. The authority
given to the Church is great Jesus saying that the Church has the
authority to bind and loose and again the Church is powerless to
abdicate this divine responsibility. Some may say the Scriptures are
true because of the truth they reveal in prophetic testimony and I say
that the Church is true because of its testimony as an enduring Church
for 2000 years just as Christ promised. The only high court of appeal is
our founder, high priest and Savior Jesus the Christ who has never
failed His Church, this relationship no book can supplant for it is
through Him that the Church derives its holiness and its veracity and
its immortality.
One cannot deny that the foundation of all Christianity through His
Church is based on Christ’s words to St. Peter before the disciples.
There is no doubt from the construction vernacular that Jesus was
instructing them to build a Church with them as the foundation stones
and Himself as the cornerstone. He built no other Church as no other was
needed because the One, Holy, Apostolic, Catholic, Church derives its
perfection from Him through His promises. He prayed that we all be one
within this Church. He said this Church would endure until the Parousia.
He said of this Church that the gates of hell would not prevail against
it. He said that He would be with this Church until the end of time. The
Scriptures confirms these promises saying that this Church is the
“pillar and ground of the truth”. He did not plan for the Church to be
without leadership after the apostles died but provided that they choose
successors to replace them in the enduring Church. This is confirmed it
the book of Acts.
One can suggest that this Church is not the Church that Christ gave
these promises and authority to but who else can support a claim that
they are the true church represented by these promises if not the
Catholic church. Some will suggest that the true church is the Gnostics
or the Arians? Certainly remnants of those churches remain in modern
incarnations of these heresies but can one claim the enduring
characteristic promised by Christ? There is certainly no evidence that
anyone can make a legitimate claim to Christ’s promises other than the
Catholic Church. Some critics may claim that the reason that the
Catholic Church has endured is because of political connections, but the
truth is that it has endured because of the miracles of our Lord who
persuaded a Pagan emperor to stop his persecution of the Church and not
by some agreement of men. It is hard to persuade someone who is intent
on your annihilation. Only God could convict the heart of the Pagan
Emperor Constantine.
I would agree that there have always been those believers known to God
who will be saved and I agree but I do not agree that those people are
outside of His Church nor do I believe that it is possible for salvation
without His Church but that it is possible only through his Church,
Although I acknowledge, as does the Church, that this union may be
imperfect, as with our separated brethren with different degrees of the
fullness of truth which is perfected in His Church. All believers are
taught by God through His Church.
While St. Paul spoke about the great apostasy, is it possible that he
was speaking of the apostasy of the enduring Church that He created.
Would not that apostate element be more described in the churches
proceeding from the Reformation? Does the Bible not teach that we will
know them by their fruits? It does and what are the fruits of the
Reformation.
Reducing the Word of God to a book and confusing the truth with tens of
thousands of exponentially increasing schisms in the dilution of the
truth. Did not Christ pray that we all be one in His Church?
By forbidding the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ from
Protestant worship.
Reducing salvation to a one time assent to faith and then teaching
antinomianism.
Rejecting the authority Christ established.
These are just a few of the signs of a church in apostasy as represented
by the Protestant churches. Could there be a better example of decay and
perversion.
We can all agree as Christians that only God knows who are His faithful
but do not let us confuse the facts of His teaching that we are to be
one in the Church that He created. There is the Church that is gathered
around the Bishop as the early Church is described by St. Ignatius and
then there is the Church known only to God made up of those whose heart
is pure in their love and devotion to God. But regardless they all will
be saved by that which is promised to endure which is His Church. We can
only pray that he will be merciful to the apostate and that they find
the truth before it is too late.

What Jesus did not say, however, was that St. Peter's successors would
take his place as head of the church. And even if you believe they
would, there's no definitive way to state who Peter's successors would
be. There is no evidence in scripture that he was ever Bishop of Rome,
or that if he was that it would automatically imply that the next Bishop
of Rome would be his successor.
In fact, if you know your church history, the doctrine of Papal
Supremacy didn't arise for several hundred years. And when it did it
caused such a fuss that the official church of the day finally split
into what we now call "The Roman Catholic Church" and the "Eastern
Orthodox Church".
The verse you quote has been interpreted in many ways. By itself, I do
not think it can establish the doctrine of Papal Supremacy.

sorry but the catholic church is in the bible
Many people argue that the Catholic Church is not the Church founded by
Jesus Christ beginning with Peter and the Apostles. One argument often
made is that the phrase “Catholic Church” does not appear within the
pages of Scripture.
Aside from the fact that this argument is weak since the words “trinity”
and “Bible” are not contained in Holy Writ either, is it really true
that the Catholic Church is not named in the Bible? Well, take a look at
the following verse from the Acts of the Apostles, and decide for
yourself:
Acts 9:31 (Greek)
ἡ μεν ουν εκκλησια καθ᾽ὁλης της ιουδαιας και γαλιλαιας και σαμαρειας
ειχεν ειρηνην οικοδομουμενη και πορευομενη τω φοβω του κυριου, και τη
παρακλησει του ἁγιου πνευματος επληθυνοντο.
Act 9:31 (Transliteration)
aye men oon ekklaysiaye kath olays tays ioodayeas kaye galilayeas kaye
samarayas aycon ayraynayn oikodomoomenaye kaye poryoomenaye tow fobow
too kurioo kaye tay paraklaysay too agioo pnyoomatos eplaythunonto
(http://www.russ.org/gtb/luke.html#a9)
Acts 9:31
So the Church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and
was built up; and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of
the Holy Spirit it was multiplied.
From this text, we can see the Greek word “kath olays” which is rendered
“Catholic” in modern English and the word “ekklaysiaye” which becomes
“ecclesia” in English and is commonly translated as “church”.
εκκλησια καθ᾽ ὁλης = ekklaysiaye kath olays = “the church throughout
all” = Catholic Church

defaulted on the commandment of God to Marry and made priests to become
Celibate. before those dates celibacy was not the RULE it was the
exception.
and if you dont accept this, there were two rivalrys between families
that practiced poisoning among themselve and 2 popes that were actually
excommunicated.
so the verses in Galatian 1:6-9 actually does pertain to the catholics
just as much as it does to protestants.
if Mark 8:33 is true, and Jesus turned to peter but was speaking to
satan! does this mean Peter was posessed
if he was literally rebuking Peter, it would also be symbolic of
rebuking the entire catholic church for following the Things That MEN
LOVE, more than the thigns of God.
to be fair, i have been taught that this verse 8:33 doesnt exist in
original documents.
but if it didnt "exist" in the first place it proves that scriptures
have been altered in the 2nd place.
somewhere in history Someone is lying and altering text. and did not
jesus say scriptures cannot be broken. ?
other people answered:
Catholicism is not Christian. Catholicism leads to eternal torment in
hell, because catholicism teaches works for salvation, and that is a
false gospel of works (Galatians 1:6-9) that is against JESUS'S free
gift of salvation!
And catholicism will not give you a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with Jesus,
which is what JESUS wants with you!
So, you need to get away from catholicism, and instead, believe in JESUS
for His free gift of salvation!
It's clear from the Book of Acts in the Bible that catholics didn't even
exist during the days of Acts. Catholicism didn't exist for over 300
years after Jesus. And catholicism didn't exist for over 200 years after
the Bible was complete and compiled. Those in the Book of Acts are the
first Christians, and they believed what would be called fundamentalist
doctrine today. ANYONE can read the Book of Acts for themselves and see.
Had catholicism existed during the time of Acts, the first Christians
would have rejected catholicism completely.
And there is no "pope" in the Bible. Every "pope" is a false prophet.
Also there's TONS of Christians who also completely rejected
catholicism, long before Martin Luther was even born. Catholicism
murdered millions and millions of Christians. :*(
So not only is it wrong for anyone to say that "catholics were the first
Christians", but this blows away the catholic claim that "no churches
existed other than the catholic church, until Martin Luther".
There were ALWAYS saved believers outside the catholic cult, who knew
catholicism cannot save anyone.
Catholicism cannot save. Only believing in Jesus for His free gift of
salvation, is what saves!
So, catholics need to get away from catholicism, and instead, believe in
JESUS for His free gift of salvation!
Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much! :D And the Trinity is
true!
The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into
heaven and avoid being sent to hell, is by believing in Jesus for His
free gift of salvation, believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God,
died on the cross for all our sins as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and
then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe in Jesus
for His free gift of salvation, and you will be in heaven, no matter
what!
Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe
in Jesus alone to save you! It is impossible to lose or "leave"
salvation (John 6:39-40, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13).
Please pray now: "Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross to pay for
my sins and that You rose from the dead, and I thank You for eternal
life!" You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die! :D

No. Catholicism is false. The rock is Jesus.
Catholicism isn't Christian. They worship the pope when they should be
worshiping Jesus, man made rules, teach works for salvation, added books
to the Bible, worship statues and loads of other idolatry. It can't
save. Only Jesus can. Please pray a sincere prayer with all of your
heart admitting to Jesus you are a sinner. Have full faith that His
blood pays off all of your sins and accept His gift of everlasting life.
I pray that God blesses you with peace. Amen.

The "Rock" that Jesus spoke of in that verse is the faith in Jesus
Christ as Lord and Savior. It is not Peter himself but rather what peter
believed about Jesus that was the rock Jesus described.
I'm sorry you are confused. But I hope you figure it out soon.

no, the Rock is Jesus. The Church is not built on the apostles, but
Jesus.
Jesus also called Peter "Satan".
The word "catholic" meant universal. Ironically, the Catholic church was
the first non denominational fellowship. These days it is the most
denominational.

no, it was founded by the roman empire more than 300 years after Jesus
death.
It would be like a government in the year 2310 starting a religion based
on the life of Barack Obama and claiming that he was the one who started
the religion.
Apparently some historians see it as attempt to stop the roman empire
disintegrating.

Jesus never gave any authority to written Scripture but instead to His
Church who in turn wrote Scripture to be interpreted within His Church
under the authority given by Him. St. Paul confirms this authority of
the Church through apostolic succession when He instructed to hold fast
what was taught by Word (oral) and letter (written). The Church does not
have the authority to relinquish that which God has given regardless of
the burden of protecting the Church. The Scriptures promise that this
Church is the “bulwark and ground of the truth” and that promise will
forever remain true.
The Church was also given the authority to come to clearer understanding
of the truth in the living Church but such understanding should not take
away from the teaching of the apostles but illuminate it. The authority
given to the Church is great Jesus saying that the Church has the
authority to bind and loose and again the Church is powerless to
abdicate this divine responsibility. Some may say the Scriptures are
true because of the truth they reveal in prophetic testimony and I say
that the Church is true because of its testimony as an enduring Church
for 2000 years just as Christ promised. The only high court of appeal is
our founder, high priest and Savior Jesus the Christ who has never
failed His Church, this relationship no book can supplant for it is
through Him that the Church derives its holiness and its veracity and
its immortality.
One cannot deny that the foundation of all Christianity through His
Church is based on Christ’s words to St. Peter before the disciples.
There is no doubt from the construction vernacular that Jesus was
instructing them to build a Church with them as the foundation stones
and Himself as the cornerstone. He built no other Church as no other was
needed because the One, Holy, Apostolic, Catholic, Church derives its
perfection from Him through His promises. He prayed that we all be one
within this Church. He said this Church would endure until the Parousia.
He said of this Church that the gates of hell would not prevail against
it. He said that He would be with this Church until the end of time. The
Scriptures confirms these promises saying that this Church is the
“pillar and ground of the truth”. He did not plan for the Church to be
without leadership after the apostles died but provided that they choose
successors to replace them in the enduring Church. This is confirmed it
the book of Acts.
One can suggest that this Church is not the Church that Christ gave
these promises and authority to but who else can support a claim that
they are the true church represented by these promises if not the
Catholic church. Some will suggest that the true church is the Gnostics
or the Arians? Certainly remnants of those churches remain in modern
incarnations of these heresies but can one claim the enduring
characteristic promised by Christ? There is certainly no evidence that
anyone can make a legitimate claim to Christ’s promises other than the
Catholic Church. Some critics may claim that the reason that the
Catholic Church has endured is because of political connections, but the
truth is that it has endured because of the miracles of our Lord who
persuaded a Pagan emperor to stop his persecution of the Church and not
by some agreement of men. It is hard to persuade someone who is intent
on your annihilation. Only God could convict the heart of the Pagan
Emperor Constantine.
I would agree that there have always been those believers known to God
who will be saved and I agree but I do not agree that those people are
outside of His Church nor do I believe that it is possible for salvation
without His Church but that it is possible only through his Church,
Although I acknowledge, as does the Church, that this union may be
imperfect, as with our separated brethren with different degrees of the
fullness of truth which is perfected in His Church. All believers are
taught by God through His Church.
While St. Paul spoke about the great apostasy, is it possible that he
was speaking of the apostasy of the enduring Church that He created.
Would not that apostate element be more described in the churches
proceeding from the Reformation? Does the Bible not teach that we will
know them by their fruits? It does and what are the fruits of the
Reformation.
Reducing the Word of God to a book and confusing the truth with tens of
thousands of exponentially increasing schisms in the dilution of the
truth. Did not Christ pray that we all be one in His Church?
By forbidding the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ from
Protestant worship.
Reducing salvation to a one time assent to faith and then teaching
antinomianism.
Rejecting the authority Christ established.
These are just a few of the signs of a church in apostasy as represented
by the Protestant churches. Could there be a better example of decay and
perversion.
We can all agree as Christians that only God knows who are His faithful
but do not let us confuse the facts of His teaching that we are to be
one in the Church that He created. There is the Church that is gathered
around the Bishop as the early Church is described by St. Ignatius and
then there is the Church known only to God made up of those whose heart
is pure in their love and devotion to God. But regardless they all will
be saved by that which is promised to endure which is His Church. We can
only pray that he will be merciful to the apostate and that they find
the truth before it is too late.

What Jesus did not say, however, was that St. Peter's successors would
take his place as head of the church. And even if you believe they
would, there's no definitive way to state who Peter's successors would
be. There is no evidence in scripture that he was ever Bishop of Rome,
or that if he was that it would automatically imply that the next Bishop
of Rome would be his successor.
In fact, if you know your church history, the doctrine of Papal
Supremacy didn't arise for several hundred years. And when it did it
caused such a fuss that the official church of the day finally split
into what we now call "The Roman Catholic Church" and the "Eastern
Orthodox Church".
The verse you quote has been interpreted in many ways. By itself, I do
not think it can establish the doctrine of Papal Supremacy.

sorry but the catholic church is in the bible
Many people argue that the Catholic Church is not the Church founded by
Jesus Christ beginning with Peter and the Apostles. One argument often
made is that the phrase “Catholic Church” does not appear within the
pages of Scripture.
Aside from the fact that this argument is weak since the words “trinity”
and “Bible” are not contained in Holy Writ either, is it really true
that the Catholic Church is not named in the Bible? Well, take a look at
the following verse from the Acts of the Apostles, and decide for
yourself:
Acts 9:31 (Greek)
ἡ μεν ουν εκκλησια καθ᾽ὁλης της ιουδαιας και γαλιλαιας και σαμαρειας
ειχεν ειρηνην οικοδομουμενη και πορευομενη τω φοβω του κυριου, και τη
παρακλησει του ἁγιου πνευματος επληθυνοντο.
Act 9:31 (Transliteration)
aye men oon ekklaysiaye kath olays tays ioodayeas kaye galilayeas kaye
samarayas aycon ayraynayn oikodomoomenaye kaye poryoomenaye tow fobow
too kurioo kaye tay paraklaysay too agioo pnyoomatos eplaythunonto
(http://www.russ.org/gtb/luke.html#a9)
Acts 9:31
So the Church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and
was built up; and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of
the Holy Spirit it was multiplied.
From this text, we can see the Greek word “kath olays” which is rendered
“Catholic” in modern English and the word “ekklaysiaye” which becomes
“ecclesia” in English and is commonly translated as “church”.
εκκλησια καθ᾽ ὁλης = ekklaysiaye kath olays = “the church throughout
all” = Catholic Church

More Toast Artists Jesus Face
Ted Sheckle asked this on YQ:
Do you want to see the true face of Jesus?
the picture of jesus on toast by the side of Mary on toast
http://mikesplace.freeserverhost.com/Gallimaufry/VirginMaryGrilledCheese/Jesus%20Christ%20Toast%20+%20Virgin%20Mary%20Grilled%20Cheese%20photo.jpg
It has to be real! There's no way this could be a hoax. This is proof god exists.
Rofl, but NOT true
there a couple things which i could comment on this.
first i was very interested in the first piece of toast being sold on EBAY as a work of art.
then i saw a news clip somewhere that an artist can easily pre paint the butter or margine onto bread and then the picture appears on the toast.
so i wont believe anything that comes from burning toast. unless an angel says to do it.
also, there are more insidious things than these
recently i had a dream where i spoke on YQ R&S and described seeing the face of a man who had a "scar" over his left eye. i wondered if i had actually seen the real face of Jesus. Last week i realized out of the blue, that men who have scars over the left eye are more likely to have pierced their own eye.
so, it makes more sense to conclude it was not the face of jesus that i saw but the lover of a woman who in the first half of the dream was asking for something, she having an existence that looked like paradise. but he having the power to OVERsee her condition and enough to show me the dream.
dreams become even MORE hideous when they have the appearance of an angel or of tthe direct contradictory appearances of jesus.
Jesus doesnt change, since his resurrection, his face has not changed despite what the bible says about the two disciples.
the bible also says there were two (false) witnesses.
then you have modern technology, which can invade dreams !
and then you have the technology that can created advertisements to infiltrate the dreams stages.
then you have the Obercromb files and the blue beam project
plus if you have Alien life and alien technology in the hands of Anarchists Criminal felons that despise the community of God YOU also have false religions based on imagination rather than the true prophecies of God
even after that there is the known mind control of manchurian candidates and sorceries and false visions existing throughout all history.
its all insidious,
but after all is said and done, no matter what is found to be counterfeit, there is A GOD and the Father has given ALL authority to His Son and the throne and glory of judgment mercy.
let it be known I am a witness, even in my sins, i have found mercy. i know the false, and i know the true. i have experiences that defy the carnal mind, so much that carnal men have devised Laws of the land to make all patriots and christians alike to be enemies of the state.
this is what you are doing by debunking the existence of God, you become the participant with muderers and will be judged like a murderer whether by intent or by deception.
p.s. people like you are the true-type of a terrorists because you start out as mole hill. people like you become filled with a little power and become self destroyed because THEY reject the morality of God and His righteousness.

the occult exists within all of them Yes.
cultic traditions exist in all of christianity. the blind lead the blind everywhere.
in Mormon History there was a band of secret combinations called the Danites.
there are several debatable activities of mormons which can be classified as false. there definitely is some traditions therein which are not the revelations of God.
however, i believe the official scripture cannon is perfect enough to be true more than the teachings of christians because of the nature of the revelations written.
that said:
i can quote D&C scriptures which rebuked the saints of the first generation, with commiting sins. Joseph smith himself said a prayer asking about his brethren and his freinds and had it recorded. He didnt even know if he could trust his own freinds. but he prayed for them nevertheless.
but specifically in section 63, the Lord makes mention of the sins of witchcraft and rebuked them... vs 17 -20 of course in these verse he lists 3 major sins. and one of them is also like unto our modern Pornography.
i dont want to speak evil of the righteous brethren! and i dont want to speak evil of anyone who is walking in the spirit and at least trying to.
but its obvious to me from all the things ive suffered, when it comes to witchcrafts and sorceries people all over the world follow BABLYON and the spirit of her sorceries which deceive the nations. see rev 18:4, 23
verses:
14 There were among you aadulterers and adulteresses; some of whom have turned away from you, and others remain with you that hereafter shall be revealed.
15 Let such beware and repent speedily, lest judgment shall come upon them as a asnare, and their bfolly shall be made manifest, and their works shall follow them in the eyes of the people.
16 And verily I say unto you, as I have said before, he that alooketh on a woman to blust after her, or if any shall commit cadultery in their hearts, they shall not have the dSpirit, but shall deny the faith and shall fear.
17 Wherefore, I, the Lord, have said that the afearful, and the bunbelieving, and all cliars, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie, and the dwhoremonger, and the esorcerer, shall have their part in that flake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the gsecond death.
18 Verily I say, that they shall not have part in the afirst resurrection.
19 And now behold, _ I, the Lord, say unto you that ye are not justified, because these things are among you _.
20 Nevertheless, he that aendureth in faith and doeth my bwill, the same shall overcome, and shall receive an inheritance upon the earth when the day of transfiguration shall come;
my folly was manifest 7 years ago or thereabout when i was having a debate/discussion with my bishop and as i was reading the verse to emphasize the sorceries, the other parts hit me just as quickly and sharp two edged sword.
so i dont knowingly excuse myself but i admit my sins and transgressions.

HEADLINE space shuttle crashed Hundreds die
a dream i had showed me a space shuttle disaster i watched the fusilages fall off and the shuttle itself spin onto the ground where what looked like hundreds of people were kill, even decapitated. I saw a photographer cowering and i told him to take pictures, it was his job. there were ohter details which are hard to describe as well
i dont put to much emphasis on dreams because most of them are highly wrong
i did have a plane crash in a major city, dream, before 911 but at the time i thought it was only another night mare. ive repeated dreams of nuclear detonations in several places, like ONE over the new york harbor or something like that or another in anchorage. i thinki i had a couple in washington state as well. but then again i seem to dream other peoples' lives in other parts of the country and even off world dreams, more like a star wars scenario. so far the only one that remotely seems true is the nightmare of the plane crash in the city. it was all terrorism
