Thank you for reading this Bible study on Roman Catholic Beliefs
If you disagree with an explanation, please provide scriptural evidence for your position.
Just saying that you disagree, or that your Priest, the Pope, or a top radio/TV preacher teaches differently, is not enough.
For we must rely on scripture and the historical fulfillment of prophecy, not on
speculations that have no proof.
The Word of God is our final authority, not any man.

I’ve been through a rough time in my life. I tried to take some your studies to my church; but vey few even seemed like they would be willing to read them -let alone consider them. My dad that recently passed (that you know about) -who did teach me a lot; though he even didn t seem open to them either. I guess I wanted to tell you that you don’t know my life story and how alone I have been on this journey.. I apologize for the way I acted that was born from extreme mental frustration and hope can communicate again as that was my intention before.
You are clearly mentally disturbed. I will pray for your health and for your soul, that your heart might be moved away from hatred of your Christian brothers and return to the love which Christ Himself calls us to.
Speaking the truth about the Pope and his harlot church is not hatred. Scriptures tells us to expose workers of deceit.
Read Revelation 11:1-2 which commands believers to compare what people teach with Scripture. When you do that, you find out that what the Popes teach is contrary to Scripture.
Messiah speaks of two primary churches in the book of Revelation: His pure church and the apostate church of the antichrist beast. Scripture clearly describes the harlot Roman Catholic Church, whose priests wear purple and scarlet, who use the golden cup during their Eucharist ceremony, who has been guilty of shedding the blood of the saints. Revelation 17 clearly describes the Roman Catholic Church.
The office of the papacy fulfills Bible prophecy as the Son of Perdition of 2 Thessalonians 2 and the antichrist beast of Revelation. Messiah commanded you to come out of the Catholic Church, lest you are subject to the punishment which is coming upon her.
You can dismiss all of this, but I pray that you click on the links and read the studies, for your salvation hangs in the balance. Having the mark of the beast is revering (mark on forehead) and obeying (mark on the right hands, actions) the antichrist beast Pope of Rome.

Am enclosing Bible study on: **DID GOD HIMSELF BURN DOWN NOTRE DAME WHICH HAS BEEN THE WORLD’S GREATEST CENTER OF IDOL WORSHIP**?? **NOTRE** in French is personal pronoun for **OUR**. **DAME** in French means **LADY** OF DIGNIFIED AUTHORITY**. Notre Dame Cathedral was built to honor **MARY** who Roman Catholics believe is the Queen of Heaven and Co-Redeemer with Jesus and main *MEDIATOR* to God by Hail Mary Rosary prayers. There are **37** representations and statues of *MARY** in Notre Dame which are all worshiped or prayed to!
Your eternal friend in Jesus,
Richard
**DID GOD HIMSELF BURN DOWN NOTRE DAME WHICH HAS BEEN THE WORLD’S GREATEST CENTER OF IDOL WORSHIP**?
Notre Dame which means **OUR LADY OF DIGNIFIED AUTHORITY** in French was the greatest center for **IDOL WORSHIPING** of Mary for the last 800 years. The Roman Catholics have eliminated God’s commandment to bow down or worship idols and believe in bowing down and worshiping and praying to Mary who they believe she is the Queen of Heaven and Co-Redeemer and main Co-Mediator with Jesus to the Father. Notre Dame in Paris has been one of the top destinations for visitors in the world attracting more that **14 MILLION** visitors a year; many of which bow down, and worship, and pray the Satanic Hail Mary Rosary to **37** representations and statues of Mary and other statues to the delight of Satan.
It wouldn’t surprise me if God Himself sent one of His mighty angels to burn down this Satanic center of Idol worship!!
Exodus 20:3-5: God says, “You shall have no other Gods before Me. You shall not make for yourselves an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not **BOW DOWN TO THEM OR WORSHIP THEM**, For I am the Lord your God, am a jealous God…showing love to those who love Me and **KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS**!”
Deuteronomy 4:15,16: Watch yourselves very carefully, so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an **IDOL**, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a **WOMAN**!!
I Corinthians 6:9-11: Do you know that wrongdoers will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor **IDOLATERS** nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
I Peter 4,3: We do not live the rest of our lives for evil human desires, but rather for the **WILL OF GOD**. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do–living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and **DETESTABLE IDOLATRY**!
Revelation 21:8: The cowardly, the murders, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, **IDOLATERS** and all liars–they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death!!
Revelation 9:20: They did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood-**IDOLS** that cannot see hear or walk!!
There are 7 passages in the New Testament which state that we should **ONLY PRAY TO GOD THE FATHER**! Such as:
Matthew 6:5-9: Jesus says, “When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your **FATHER**, who is unseen. Then your **FATHER**, who sees what you do in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your **FATHER** knows what you need before you ask Him. This then is how you should pray ‘Our **FATHER** in heaven, hallowed be your name, Your Kingdom come, **YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH** as it is in heaven.”‘
Luke 11:2-4: Jesus says to His disciples, “When you **PRAY**, say, “**FATHER**, hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us!”
I Peter 3:12: The eyes of the **LORD** are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their **PRAYER**.
Philippians 4:6: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by **PRAYER** and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests **TO GOD**.
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but by **EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD**!”
Revelation 13:14: {During the Great Tribulation} The False Prophet will be given power to give breath to the **STATUE OF **666**, so that the statue could speak and cause all who refuse to *WORSHIP THE STATUE** to be **KILLED*!
Continuing his string of unbiblical and heretical proclamations, Pope Francis **CROWNED A STATUE** of Mary and proclaimed her “**QUEEN OF HEAVEN**” before a packed crowd of adoring onlookers.
Pope Francis stated, “The virgin who wanted to be called Your handmaid was chosen Mother of the Redeemer, and true Mother of all the living, and now exalted above the choirs of the angels, reigns gloriously with Your Son interceding for all men as an advocate of grace and queen of mercy,” he prayed during mass, moments before **CROWNING THE STATUE OF MARY**!!
Pope Francis continually *WORSHIPS STATUES OF MARY** and commands that all Roman Catholics **WORSHIP STATUES** of Mary.
Many saints believe that Pope Francis completely qualifies to be the future False Prophet of 666!
**THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH STATES THAT POPES ARE INFALLIBLE AND HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE AND ADD TO GOD’S WORD**:
The Roman Catholic New York Catechism states, “The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth…by divine right the Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and every pastor and his flock. He is the true vicar, the head of the entire church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils; the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one, God himself on earth.”
“The Pope is not simply the representative of Jesus Christ. On the contrary, he is Jesus Christ Himself, under the veil of the flesh.”
“The Pope is of so great dignity, and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God and the vicar of God.” (Ecclesiastical dictionary)
“The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Pope Pius V}
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD’S WORD SAY**??
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, “**ALL AUTHORITY** in heaven and **ON EARTH** has been given to **ME**. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…teaching them to obey **EVERYTHING** I have commanded you and surely I am **WITH YOU ALWAYS**, to the very end of the age!!”
Ephesians 1:19-23: That power is like the working of His {The Father’s} mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the ***PRESENT AGE*** but also in the one to come. And God placed **ALL THINGS** under His feet and appointed Him to be the **HEAD OVER EVERYTHING FOR THE CHURCH**, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way!!
Ephesians 4:15,16: Speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the **HEAD**, that is, **CHRIST**. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work!
Colossians 1:18 He {Jesus Christ} is the **HEAD** of the body, the **CHURCH**… so that in **EVERYTHING** He may have the **SUPREMACY**!!
Ephesians 5:23: The husband is the head of the wife as **CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH**, His body, of which He is the **SAVIOR**!!
**THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH DECLARES MARY AS REDEEMER**
“The foundation of all our confidence is found in the Blessed Virgin Mary. God has committed to her the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is His will: That we obtain everything through Mary.” (Pope Pius IX)
“To such extent did Mary suffer and almost die with her suffering and dying Son; to such extent did she surrender her maternal rights over her Son for man’s salvation… that we may rightly say she redeemed the human race together with Christ.” (Benedict XV}
“In fact, by being assumed into heaven she has not laid aside the office of salvation but by the manifold intercession she continues to obtain for us the grace of eternal salvation.” (John Paul II, Dives in Misericordia, 1980, quoting Lumen Gentium)
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD’S WORD SAY**??
I Peter 1:18,19: For you know that it was not with perishable things like silver and gold that you were **REEDEEMED** from the empty way of life handed down to you by your ancestors, but with the **PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST**, a lamb without blemish or defect!!
Ephesians 1:4-8: In love He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will–to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has **FREELY GIVEN US** in the One He loves. In Him we have **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, the **FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding!!
Titus 2:13,14: **WE** wait for the **BLESSED HOPE**–the glorious appearing of our **GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR**, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to **REDEEM US** from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people who are His very own, eager to do what is good!
JESUS SAYS, “WHOEVER DOES GOD’S WILL IS MY MOTHER!”
Mark 3:31-34: Then Jesus’ mother and BROTHERS {Greek-“ADELPHOS”} arrived. Standing outside…A crowd was sitting around Him, and they told Him, “Your **MOTHER** and BROTHERS are outside looking for you.” “Who are My mother and my brothers?” Jesus asked. Then He looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “HERE IS MY MOTHER and my brothers! **WHOEVER DOES GOD’S WILL** is my brother and sister and **MOTHER**!”
JESUS SAYS, “MY MOTHER AND BROTHERS ARE THOSE WHO HEAR GOD’S WORD AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE!”
Luke 8:20,21: Someone told Him {Jesus} “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.” Jesus replied, “MY MOTHER AND BROTHERS ARE THOSE WHO HEAR GOD’S WORD AND PUT IT INTO PRACTICE**!”
Luke 11:27,28: As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you!” Jesus replied, “BLESSED RATHER ARE THOSE WHO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND OBEY IT**!”
Matthew 6:6,9-11: Jesus says, “When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your **FATHER**, who is unseen. Then your **FATHER**, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you …This then is how you should pray: “Our **FATHER** in Heaven, hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come, **YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH** as it is in heaven!”
Is there even one instance where a believer prayed to someone other than the **FATHER** in the OT or the NT?? Answer; ZERO! What church had its evil leaders decree that it is OK to pray to and worship Mary??
You will note that Mary is not even mentioned once in God’s Word after Acts 1 and was never mentioned as a **REDEEMER**!. And to say that we should pray to anyone but the **FATHER** in Jesus name is absolute Satanic blasphemy.
John 14:23,24: Jesus says, “If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will love him and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching.
John 12:48: Jesus says, There is a Judge for the one who rejects Me and does not accept My words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the Last Day!”
I John 2:3-5: We know that we have come to know Him {Jesus} **IF** we obey His commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him, But if anyone obeys His word, God’s love is truly made complete in him!!
**DO YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD HIMSELF MAY HAVE BURNED DOWN NOTRE DAME WHICH HAS BEEN THE GREATEST CENTER OF IDOL WORSHIP IN THE LAST 800 YEARS**??
Who knows the whole story behind the fire at Notre Dame, but I don’t believe that it was an accident.
What I do know is that the harlot Church will be burned and desolated as part of her judgment, which most likely points to a time that many Catholic Churches are burned and desolated, and the priests killed.
This Notre Dame fire event was a prelude to that coming day.
The ten kingdoms of the fallen Roman Empire are being taken over by Muslims, who when they gain a majority, may be used by Elohim to carry out judgment against the harlot church. Messiah commanded people to come out of the harlot Catholic Church, lest you be affected by her plagues which are coming.
