Here’s the second RC email invite you to read my Bible/RC Comparison Chart. Also confirmed by Dr. Christian  Wei.

BIBLICAL SIMPLICITY IN CHRIST VS. COMPLEXITY OF ROMAN CATHOLICISM CHART*

BIBLICAL SIMPLICITY IN CHRIST THE TRUTH

COMPLEXITY AND FALSEHOOD OF ROMAN CATHOLICISM

1

“Do not stray away from the simplicity which is Christ.” 2 Cor. 11:3.

One Finished Work Saves: Christ Crucified

1752 Binding Laws (CCC) Works Religion

(quasi-Christening of Judaism: 613 Laws) and Christianizing pagan rites

2

“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm” Ephesians 6:13

 

Must attend regular and compulsory Mass:

Catechism # 2042

3

Christ the Groom must remain in Heaven until 2nd Coming: Acts 3:21

 

And does not marry the Bride (The Church) until then

Christ must travel globally and to and from Heaven to Earth for millions to be physically present in the Eucharist (Transubstantiation) and marry tens of thousands of nuns

4

We can be assured of our Salvation

1 John 5:12-13

 

There is no assurance of your Salvation

5

There is One Mediator in Christ Jesus

1 Timothy 2:5

1,776 Canonized dead saints are intercessors you pray to and ask them to pray for you

6

There is no Vicar of Christ: Only Christ blew Holy Spirit John 20:22

Every new Pope is the Vicar of Christ; all priests blow Holy Spirit (Exsufflation and iInsufflation)

7

12 UNIQUE Apostles with no exact successor Revelation 21:14

Perpetual Apostolic Succession: 260 Popes and still counting

8

 

Every Christian is a Saint and Priest 1 Peter 2:9

(whether dead or alive (Mary is dead and buried)

Only some are priests and more than 10,000 are Canonized or Patron Saints and all are dead (except Mary was Assumed bodily into Heaven and makes Apparitions

9

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you,... so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Cor. 12:9

Note “he”(Christ) is not “she” (Mary)!

 

Salvation by Grace Alone Through Faith (in Christ) Eph. 2:8-10

 

Mary (She) is the Source of ALL grace and graces in all 7 Sacraments. The Rosary is a shield and weapon.

 

Salvation by Priest via Infant Baptism--replaces circumcision/rejects Israel

10

Liberty in Christ: In Christ we are “Free Indeed”

John 8:36

 

Bondage Prison of Cancerous Catechisms and Creeds

11

 

No Special Garments required by Elders and Pastors

Pope, Cardinals, Bishops, and Priests must wear capes, drapes, special caps, robes with bells and smells

12

Church membership is being Born Again by Faith

Confession of your faith = becoming Betrothed

(Fiance) of Christ

 

Church Membership requires a building and rites

Spiritual Marriage requires Church Membership

(The Bride marries the Bride; marries itself)

13

Single-minded: One Redeemer, One Mediator: = Christ

Double-minded; Co-Redeemer and Co-Mediator

14

Children come to Christ by Free Will

First Reconciliation is Prayer Directly to the Father in Heaven (Christ's Instruction)

Children are Forced to Come by Infant Baptism

First Reconciliation to God by Priest Required

15

16

Local Church is Sovereign

Local Church is sovereign

Global Magisterium = Hierarchy = One World Church by Last Days = 1 Corinthians 4

 

17

Pray directly to the Father as Christ instructed

Necromancy, Channeling, amulets and talismans are all abominations to the Lord

 

Pray (Channeling) to Mary via The Rosary and 1,776 Dead Canonized Patron Saints

18

 

Christ the Groom does not get married over and over but only ONCE after the Resurrection and Rapture

 

Tens of thousands of nuns marry Christ the Groom

without His invitation or permission

19

Already Clothed in righteousness and garments of praise once you convert

Traditions of Men replace Traditions of Christ and His Apostles

20

The work of Christ alone saves

Work of Christ + Works maybe saves

21

Christ alone pays for our sins

Purgatory necessary to keeping paying

22

Divination/Magic Arts prohibited

Necromancy practiced with Mary and Saints

23

Faith is a FREE Gift From God; but cost the Father his Son, who alone purchased us. Walk by faith

Faith comes through Mother Church rites and CCC

24

Christ's Sacrifice Once and for all: “It is Finished.” John 19:30, Isa 53:5,6

 

Christ sacrificed billions of times

25

Punishment for Christians Ends with the Cross, Once and for all

Punishment ends in Purgatory

26

Two or more gathered can have Communion

Any Christian can perform Ordinances:

Only 2 commanded: Baptism of Believers and Communion

 

Only a priest can administer Sacraments: 6 of 7 required (marriage required if not remaining single)

27

“Do not go beyond what is written.” I Cor. 4:6

Add unto God's Word for entire Church Age

28

Gifts of the Holy Spirit given individually

Gifts given to the Church

29

“ But Lord, you are my shield, my glory, and my only hope. You alone can lift my head, now bowed in shame.” Psalm 3:3

“I will say to the LORD, 'My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'”  Psalm 91:2

Mary is the Shield The Church is the refuge and fortress

 

30

“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:8

 

Practice Mysticism to feel near to God

(i.e., subjective experientialism)

31

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love (agape), joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatian 5:22-23

 

“experts in greed--an accursed brood!" 2 Peter 2:14

(miles of aisles of gold in the Vatican, via Indulgences)

32

Every true Christian has direct ACCESS to God

Access to God only through priest

33

Traditions of Christ and His Apostles: Jesus Christ and his One True Church change not, and is “the same yesterday, today, and forever”

Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8

 

Traditions of men: constantly changing, redefining words in Scripture, and adding new catechisms

34

 

Requirements for Christians is Fixed for the entire Church Age. Second Commandment prohibits creating graven images of Mary

Requirements are in constant Flux with Legions of new requirements for Salvation and Sanctification and even afterlife (Purgatory), Biblical terms redefined, defied, or removed: e.g., “Thou shalt have no graven images.”
2nd Commandment, so they make statues of Mary,

35

Jesus said that he would send NO other sign but the sign of Jonah (his Resurrection) the entire Church Age

Mary will never physically appear in the sky until the Rapture, along with all Christians.

 

Myriads of signs in the Heavens aka Apparitions of Mary

*A special thanks to Michael Gresh, long time friend and former Catholic in Kentucky near Cincinnati, and Dr. Christian Wei, who trains pastors in the underground Church in Communist China (the Catholic Church founded), for translating this chart into Chinese language and distributing it throughout China, which he also did with my first two books!

So what difference does it make?  Truth vs. Falsehood and your Eternal Destiny!

 

"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.”  Jesus Christ, Matthew 23:9 

(or Vicar [Pope] or vicar [priest])

 

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”  

Jesus Christ Matthew 7:22-23
