Their Blood Is On Our Hands…

I gleaned Mike Gendron’s list of ten above as they were presented in his DVD “Last Days for Catholics.” After visiting his website, I discovered that his June newsletter covered the same topic. Here is the link.

Mike Gendron of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries lays out ten reasons from the word of God why Catholicism is a false religion:

1. It corrupts the word of God by adding its tradition to it (Rev 22:18Rev 22:18
   English: World English Bible - WEB
   18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book.

   )
2. It perverts the Gospel – denying justification by grace through faith in Jesus (Gal 1:6-9Gal 1:6-9
   English: World English Bible - WEB
   6 I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different gospel; ⁷ and there isn’t another gospel. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any gospel other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed. ⁹ As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any gospel other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

   ) – Assurance of salvation is condemned.
3. It rejects the Gospel’s promise of eternal life (2 Tim 1:102 Tim 1:10
   English: World English Bible - WEB
   10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel.

   ) – Catholics have conditional life, subject to their obedience and participation in the sacraments.
4. Its sacrament of baptism replaces the sovereign, regenerating work of the Spirit (Eph. 1) – water automatically brings justification.
5. Its bishops are false apostles, having not witnessed the resurrection (Acts 1:21-22Acts 1:21-22
   English: World English Bible - WEB
   21 Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, ²² beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

   ) – apostolic succession is a fiction.
6. Its illegitimate priesthood encourages the idolatrous worship of a wafer as Almighty God (Exodus 32) – This is the “golden calf” of Catholicism.
7. It denies Christ’s blood as the only purification for sin – the fiction of purgatory.
8. It blasphemes God by giving His titles to the pope (John 14:16; 17:11John 14:16; 17:11
   English: World English Bible - WEB
   16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, Greek Parakleton: Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, and Comfortor. that he may be with you forever,— ¹¹ I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

   23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

   ) – The pope claims to be “Holy Father,” “Head of the Church,” and “Vicar of Christ.”
9. It rejects Jesus as the only way of salvation (John 14:6John 14:6
   English: World English Bible - WEB
   6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

   12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

   5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

   ) – Rome has many intercessors, and salvation is possible if you are sincere in your false religion.
10. It follows deceitful spirits and teaches doctrines of demons (1 Tim 4:1-41 Tim 4:1-4
    English: World English Bible - WEB
    4 ¹ But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons, ² through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron; ³ forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. ⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.

    ) – It binds its priests to vows of celibacy, forbidding marriage.

Thank you, Mike, for your faithfulness with the gospel.
