THE CATHOLIC VIEW OF OTHER RELIGIONS: (Catholic Doctrine) "The Church considers all goodness and truth found in these religions as a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life." (Catechism #843) (Catholic Doctrine) "Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, as they know it through the dictates of their conscience-those too may Read the rest...
False Movements
Infant Baptism
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH: "By Baptism all sins are forgiven, original sin and all personal sins, as well as all punishment for sin. ... The Church does not know of any means other than Baptism that assures entry into eternal beatitude; this is why she takes care not to neglect the mission she has received from the Lord to see that all who can be baptized are 'reborn of water and the Spirit.' God has bound salvation to the sacrament of Baptism ... Baptism not only purifies from all sins, but also Read the rest...
Mary Saves and is a Mediator?

(1 Timothy 2:5) "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..."

Priestly Intercession and Indulgences
The Catholic Church has always preached the need for confessions to a priest for absolution of sins. They even say that it's bad to go to God directly for forgiveness! The bible is clear on who our mediator is and by Gods Grace we do not need any human to be mediator between God and men for we know there is only one and His name is Jesus. Tim 2:5-- For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 John 1:7-- But if we walk in the light, as he is in Read the rest...
Mary's only child was Jesus ?
BIBLE: Mary had other children. (Luke 8:19-21) Many Catholics argue that when the Bilbe referes to brothers of Jesus, that these are spiritual brothers and not blood relatives. Luke 8:19-21 makes a clear distinction between spiritual and blood brothers and proves that Mary did in fact have other children.THE CATHOLICS say that in the scripture when it says brothers it does not mean brothers but cousin.In both of these verses, if the brothers of Jesus are not brothers, but His cousins, then Read the rest...

Can the living help the dead by praying for them? According to Catholic doctrine, they can: "Communion with the dead. In full consciousness of this communication of the whole Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, the Church in its pilgrim members, from the earliest days of the Christian religion, has honored with great respect the memory of the dead; and because it is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins she offers her suffrages for them.

Brian Cole’s Testimony, June 2003 (Former Jehovah's Witness of 30 years) I was a Jehovah’s Witness for 30 years — from ages 16 to 46. My mother became a member before I was born.

The main false doctrines taught by the "JW's" ("Jehovah's Witnesses") are as follows: (1) that God is not a Trinity, (2) that Jesus Christ did not physically rise from the dead, (3) that there will be no literal and physical Second Coming of Christ, and (4) that there will be no place of eternal torment for the wicked. These are the major heresies taught by the JW's, we will examine the Trinity for now and in later times we will examine more of them. IS GOD A TRINITY According the Read the rest...
