SOME THINGS PROTESTANTS HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
by Allon Maxwell
PLEASE
NOTE - THIS IS NOT THE PAPER!! This title is
available only by email, on special request. We have done it
this way because it contains material which, given the choice, some
Catholics, and some Ecumenically minded Protestants, might prefer not to read
at all. It does not
vilify Catholics, and it is not the product of religious bigotry. But it is
written from the point of view of one who rejects the Catholic religion. We do NOT hate
Catholics! Nor is it our
purpose to provoke bad feelings in our readers, towards Catholics. That would
be a denial of the love of Christ, who died for both us and them. Nevertheless,
the Bible does contain a number of warnings to followers of Jesus, about a
counterfeit religious system, which will deceive the unwary. For those whose
minds are open to truth, these warnings clearly point to the Roman Catholic
Church. Many of the
points raised, are a part of the heritage left to us by the reformers of the
Middle Ages. They are the reasons why brave men like Luther, Calvin, and
Knox, bore the heat of the battle in their time, and separated from the
Catholic Church. They are the reasons behind the Martyrdom of the thousands
of Ana-Baptist believers, who died for daring to differ. The Protestant
Church has long known these things. However in this
generation of the Church, the majority appears to have lost the vision of the
Reformers, and the boundaries have become more than a little blurred. The short
summary contained in the paper points to some of the things that Protestants
seem, by and large, to have forgotten. If after
reading this, you still want to read this article, and you faithfully promise
not to start a religious war about it, email us with your REAL name. We will
send it FREE of charge. Email vivjohn85@outlook.com andjohn85@outlook.com |
