What is the Pope.

Posted by tfheringer on June 11, 2008

At some point in the history of Rome the Caesar (we get our word czar from the word Caesar), became both the governmental leader (Emperor) and the religious leader. In the first century of the Christian era, as the influence of Christianity began to spread it came into conflict with Rome. This led to persecutions and an obsessive occupation with killing Christians in any way they saw fit. It was a spectacle at the Colosseum to watch Christians die. This began to change some what off and on through to the time of Constantine. He adopted Christianity as his religion and made it the state religion of the Roman empire in 355 A.D. So you can say that this was the Roman Catholic Church, down to this time you had Rome and there religion. You also had Christian churches spread across the empire from as far away as England, North Africa, Near East, France and Spain. There were many other places it spread and you could say these churches were Catholic, but not Roman Catholic. Catholic simply means general and was a reference to the Christian faith as crossing boundaries in Race’s.

Constantine changed this when he adopted the Christian religion as his religion, this is not saying he really was a Christian. The church at Rome had apostatised from the true faith many years before this and it was just a formality to combine it with Rome. The Roman Emperor had adopted Christianity, but Christianity as a whole had not adopted Roman Catholicism. There were many places where Christianity flourished, but these finally became a part of the Roman Catholic church by the end of the fifth century. However, there were many little pockets through out the Holy Roman Empire (HRE) where Christian churches existed that had not succumbed to the empire. Roman Catholicism is the perfect marriage between religion and the state. The pope is a descendant of the HRE, not a representative of Christ on earth, that is left to those who are really believers in Christ, the Bible says that Believers in Christ are Ambassadors for Christ. The leader of the harlot is not a Christian, but an impostor. This was recognized by Luther and many others down through history.

Is the Pope my spiritual father?

Posted by tfheringer on May 23, 2008

This should have a very simple answer, but unfortunately this statement will probably have an effect that will disturbe some people.

The pope is not my spiritual father, that rest’s solely with the Lord God and His Son The Lord Jesus Christ. So if the pope is not father, then what is he. This must be taken in the darkness of what the Catholic church it says about him. He is supposedly the lineal represenative of Peter and hence Jesus Christ himself. If he is indeed a represenative of Christ, which I most adamantly say he is not, then he is at the very least an anti-Christ or is indeed the anti-Christ. He does not in any case represent the vast majority of Christians world wide that do not call themselves Roman Catholics.

I am from this point on calling him Anti-Christ instead of what the Catholic church says he is. I do not now and never recognized him as a real believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Successor of Peter of an Anti-Christ

Posted by tfheringer on April 17, 2008

With the pope visiting the US, I thought maybe a post on who is really the successor of Peter, or is their a successor to Peter. Would Peter even admit to being a Catholic? If the succession from Peter to the current pope is unbroken, then that admits that some of the worst murders of all time are in succession to the current pope. This means the line is broken, that is if Peter was the first pope. What and who is the pope? more…

The history of Roman Catholicism has been one of intrigue and betrayal. She has murdered true saints and sanctified villains. She is a harlot that takes over everything she comes in contact with. Now some protestants are returning to Rome, just as a dog always does to his own vomit. The Catholic church is really the remains of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a marriage between an apostate Christian church and the government of Rome. Catholicism is not truly Christian and does not represent the majority of real Christians. The president should not have even met this hider of murders and protector of perverts. Take a closer look at Crime and Immorality in the Catholic church to see what Catholicism is really about and it isn’t about Christ.
