Does Mary, the mother of Jesus, play a role in the salvation of mankind?:

“Taken up to heaven she (Mary) did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold
intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation…” Pg.
252, #969

“Being obedient she (Mary) became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole
human race.” Pg. 125, #494
Is this doctrine scriptural?
According to God’s Word, Mary has never had anything to do with the salvation
process.

The facts of this chapter leave several questions needing answers:

• Why does the Catholic church want people looking to Mary instead of Jesus for
  salvation?
• Why is glory stolen from Jesus and given to Mary?
• If Mary plays a role in salvation, why didn’ t God tell us so in His Word?
• Most importantly, who will you trust to save you? The Mary of church tradition,
  or the Jesus of God’ s Word?

Partaking of the Eucharist purportedly gives Catholics who are still alive an opportunity to help the dead:

“The Eucharistic sacrifice is also offered for the faithful departed who ‘have died
in Christ but are not yet wholly purified, so that they may be able to enter
into the light and peace of Christ.’” Pg. 345, #1371 “

In the Eucharist, the Church expresses her efficacious communion with the
departed…” Pg. 420 #1689

This heart-tugging doctrine indoctrinates Roman Catholics with the belief that regularly receiving the Eucharist will help their departed loved ones reach heaven faster.

If this doctrine is of God, then you should obey it. But if it’ s a tradition devised by men to keep people in bondage to a church, then it is a cruel and heartless method of controlling
people.

Let’s see what God says about it…

To cleanse you from past sins and protect you from future sins, Catholicism demands that you look to a piece of bread.

It is imperative that you understand that this tradition of men directly contradicts God’s Word. To obey this Catholic doctrine, you must reject Holy Scriptures.

Do you really want to do this?

Since Catholicism is teaching members to partake in literal cannibalism, this doctrine requires serious examination. To begin with, we must determine this doctrine’s origin. Is it from
God, or is it a tradition of men? Catholicism insists it is scriptural, citing the words of Jesus in John 6:

“Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will
raise him up at the last day.” John 6:53-54

Though this one verse does appear to teach cannibalism, if you read the entire passage in context, the meaning becomes clear.

Right before making that statement,

 Jesus said….

The Catechism indoctrinates Catholics with the notion that there are varying degrees of sin:

“Sins are rightly evaluated according to their gravity.” Pg. 454, #1854

 
What does the Bible teach?

The Catholic Bishop’s Conference of the Philippines yesterday refused to support the impeachment bid against Gloria Arroyo. I don’t want to be malicious, so I would not even link CBCP’s decision to reject the impeachment to Philippine news reports that some of its members got from the Palace rice and medicines for their flock. I believe there is another reason for such a statement, and Harry Potter fans like me would understand this. Read more.

Infant Baptism is one of the most critical doctrines of the Catholic church:

“Born with a fallen human nature and tainted by original sin, children also have need of the new birth in Baptism to be freed from the power of darkness and brought into the
realm of the freedom of the children of God, to which all men are called. The
sheer gratuitousness of the grace of salvation is particularly manifest in
infant Baptism. The Church and the parents would deny a child the priceless
grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer Baptism shortly after
birth.” Pg. 319, #1250

The Catechism tells us where this cornerstone doctrine originated:

“The practice of infant Baptism is an immemorial tradition of the Church. There is explicit
testimony to this practice from the second century on…” Pg. 319, #1252

Here, the Catechism admits that this doctrine is not based upon Scripture. It is a man-made tradition.

If God’s Word is so explicit that only those old enough to hear and receive God’s Word should be baptized, then

why does Catholicism demand that newborn infants be baptized?

Is it to bring people into bondage to the church from shortly after their birth? You must settle this
question in your own heart.

Are the sacraments necessary for salvation?

“The Church
affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for
salvation.” Pg. 292, #1129
What are the sacraments?:

“There are seven
sacraments in the Church: Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, Eucharist,
Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony.” Pg. 289, #1113

These seven sacraments are nothing more than a series of good works.

As we have already seen in previous chapters,

the Bible states repeatedly that good works will never save anybody

Is the pope the vicar (substitute) of Christ on the earth, wielding universal power
over the whole church? If you believe the catechism, he is:

“For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of
the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church,
a power which he can always exercise unhindered.” Pg. 234, #882

“The Roman Pontiff… as supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful…” Pg.
235, #891

While the Catholic church elevates the pope to the position of “supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful,” God’s Word reveals that someone else already fills that position:

These details are from the translation of an article in a Finnish newspaper named ‘Ammennusatia’.

According to Catholic doctrine,

 the Pope is infallible in matters of doctrine, faith and morals.

“In order to preserve the Church in the purity of the faith handed on by the apostles,
Christ who is Truth willed to confer on her a share in his own infallibility. By
a supernatural sense of faith the People of God, under the guidance of the
Church’s living magisterium, unfailingly adheres to this faith.” Pg. 235,
#889

Sadly, this doctrine is but another tradition of men that contradicts Scripture.

The Bible declares ….

The Catholic church contends that baptism is necessary for salvation:

“The Lord himself affirms that Baptism is necessary for salvation.” Pg. 320, #1257

All Catholics should be aware that the Lord does not agree with this statement. The Bible teaches that salvation is a free gift that works can never buy.

This doctrine was devised by Catholicism…

With a vote of 9 pro-judges against 5 dissenters (with one abstaining), this reflects the high level of maturity of our Supreme Court system for it only upholds one’s freedom of religion. It’s only because our SC judges are wise enough to realize that a democracy like ours should never be retrofitted with narrow and baseless Christian mores.

Full entry…

Catholicism teaches that it has the power and authority to forgive people’s sins. Here are a few quotes from the Catechism. (Please note that whenever the Catechism mentions the “Church,” it is referring to the “Roman Catholic church”):

“There is no offense, however serious,
that the Church cannot forgive.” Pg. 256, #982

Does the Catholic church have power to forgive sins?

 Let’s see what the Scriptures say:

The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven

Jesus said:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” (John 14:6)

Good works cannot save you.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
 

(as contrast to Catholicism’s Salvation through Good Works and Catholicism’s Salvation through the Church

“Excuse me, Your Holiness,” says the driver, “Would you please take your seat so we can leave?”
“Well, to tell you the truth,” says the Pope, “they never let me drive at the Vatican when I was a cardinal, and I’d really like to drive today.”
“I’m sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I’d lose my job! And what if something should happen?” protests the driver, wishing he’d never gone to work that morning.
“Who’s going to tell?” says the Pope with a smile.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph. (Remember, he’s a German Pope.)

To be saved, Catholic doctrine requires the continual performance of good
works.

“Even though incorporated into the Church, one who
does not however persevere in charity is not saved.” Pg. 222, #837

These works include baptism (pg. 320, #1257), various sacraments (pg. 292,
#1129) plus many additional works.

Once again the teachings of Catholicism oppose God’s Word, which states that
salvation cannot be earned, but is a free and undeserved gift of
God:

No 11. graft and corruption

May bansa ba na graft at corruption free? Bantayan lang ng mabuti ang mga tao sa gobyerno, sundin ang mga anti-graft and corruption laws at ipatupad ito ng buong katapatan at sigasig.

O kaya huwag nang gumamit ng perang papel. Tapos ang perang gagawin, panay barya na lang mga isang-kilo ang bigat o kasing laki ng platito para walang makapagnakaw o makapagbulsa.
