It's Time Roman Catholics Asked...

Some Serious Questions

Have you been blindly following religious traditions of priests and bishops, thinking they were only teaching the Bible? It is time we all started looking into the Bible ourselves, asking some serious questions, and getting some right answers!

WHY has the Roman Catholic church removed the second commandment, which deals with idolatry, from the Ten Commandments in its catechisms? To see this deception, let’s look at the normal Roman Catholic listing , and compare it with in Exodus 20 in the Bible:

NOTE: The Roman Catholic church has edited God’s word not only to shorten the number of words, but also to erase certain words! Someone doesn’t want people to worry about making carved statues, and BOWING DOWN to them! So they just SKIP the words of God, and continue on with the list as if the Second Commandment wasn’t there.

Also, the Tenth Commandment of the Bible has been conveniently SPLIT into TWO commands for the Catholic, instead of leaving it as ONE?

Most people today do not actually read any Bible, so they think nothing of a church being full of statues and images that are forbidden. They read missals and prayer books which edit out the offending parts. Someone needs to answer… WHY! Why is my church so opposed to the Bible?

WHY does the Bible condemn repetitious prayers, when the Roman Catholic church encourages them? Jesus said, “when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.  Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” Matthew 6:7,8. The Rosary is a rejection of Christ’s clear command against praying a repetitious prayer. A Christian is to simply go to God in prayer, because of Jesus, and ask for what they need!

WHY does the Bible condemn the traditions of men, when the Roman Catholic church places them on an equal footing with the Word of God? “And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” Mark 7:9. Traditions like praying for, or to the dead; not eating meat on Fridays; crossing yourself when you pass near a church or cemetery, etc., have nothing to do with Christianity in the Bible! See our expanded article on the conflicts between the Bible and Roman Catholicism.

 WHY does the Roman Catholic church teach that Mary mediates between men and God when the Bible teaches that Jesus alone is the mediator between God and men? “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” 1 Timothy 2:5.

WHY does the Roman Catholic church teach that no one can be certain of salvation, when the Bible teaches that salvation is assured in Jesus Christ? “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life” 1 John 5:13

WHY does the Roman Catholic church say salvation comes through good works, when the Bible says salvation is a free gift from God, by faith alone, apart from good works? “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8,9. Our best efforts are as filthy rags to God (Isaiah 64:6)

WHY does the Roman Catholic Church require its ministers to be unmarried, and called “priests” when the Bible says they are to be married, and simply calls them pastors, teachers, and bishops? “A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife…” 1 Timothy 3:2 (Go look it up!). It continues in verses 4 and 5, "One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?). Now THAT question is worth asking!

WHY does the Roman Catholic Church require people to call a religious man “Father” when Jesus commanded us to call NO RELIGIOUS MAN “FATHER!” Jesus commanded, “Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” Matthew 23:9.

Jesus said in John 6:63, “the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” Over and over, Jesus said to His critics, “SEARCH the scriptures” (John 5:39), and “Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures” (Matthew 22:29). Why go to a church that claims to be following Jesus, but is not interested in obeying His WORDS? Sadly, the Bible is only read in bits and pieces instead of as a whole – and millions are crying for the answer to WHY?! Why doesn’t my church care about what the Bible says?

 WHY does the Roman Catholic church teach that Jesus Christ is continually sacrificed today, when the scripture says the sacrifice of Jesus was necessary only once for all eternity? “We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Hebrews 10:10. Jesus Himself in John 19:30, declared triumphantly on the cross, “It is finished.” Someone needs to answer, Why keep a sacrifice going that was PERFECT and FINISHED on the cross 2,000 years ago?  

  You have a choice to make today – stay with a “church” that is rapidly being exposed for its hoaxes, and “hope for the best,” or turn to the pages of the Bible, and learn what Jesus said Himself, and trust in HIM alone for the forgiveness of your sins!

  1. You must Repent. That means hate your sins - all of them, and agree with God that you deserve hell. “The times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.” Acts 17:30. Hate also your own goodness, and your good works, because you can never be good enough to merit God’s perfect GIFT of heaven.

2. You must believe Jesus Christ is all you need to be saved from hell. Jesus said, “I am the way… no man cometh unto the father, but by me.” John 14:6. You can’t get to God through your church, your priest, or good works.

3. You then can FREELY accept the gift of salvation - eternal life comes only from Jesus Himself. "The gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Jesus died to give you the forgiveness of your sins. Talk to Him in prayer right now, and accept the forgiveness that He offers you for ALL your sins. "The blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanseth us from all sin" (1 John 1:7). Jesus alone is your ticket home to heaven!

Cry out to God from your heart right now, and ask Him to have mercy on you, and save your soul. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13). It is that simple! Don't be so proud you would miss this opportunity. Hell is full of good people who were too proud to do what needed to be done, right away!
