John Paul II’s blood to become Relic · February 02, 2011
A vial of blood drawn from Pope John Paul II in blood tests just before he died will become a relic in a Polish church soon after his beatification ceremony. “The vial will be encased in crystal and built into the altar of a church in the city of Krakow, the Associated Press reports.” The church, which will be part of a center for the cultivation of John Paul’s memory and teaching, is being constructed and will open after May 1.
The veneration of relics is a Catholic tradition and not based on the Bible. It is based on the idea that there is immediate life after death, which is, also, a Catholic tradition not found in scripture.
“John Paul II’s blood would not be the first relic of its kind. The blood of St. Januarius is kept in the cathedral of Naples and liquefies every year on his feast day.”
Deception comes in many forms. Millions of people think that they can have eternal life if they venerate relics of dead people.
“The worship of images and relics, the invocation of saints, and the exaltation of the pope are devices of Satan to attract the minds of the people from God and from His Son. To accomplish their ruin, he endeavors to turn their attention from Him through whom alone they can find salvation. He will direct them to any object that can be substituted for the One who has said: ‘Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.’” Matthew 11:28.” Great Controversy, pg. 568-569
The Papacy has not changed. Even down to the worship of relics, the spiritual apostasy continues.
“The Roman Church now presents a fair front to the world, covering with apologies her record of horrible cruelties. She has clothed herself in Christlike garments; but she is unchanged. Every principle of the papacy that existed in past ages exists today. The doctrines devised in the darkest ages are still held. Let none deceive themselves.” Great Controversy, pg. 571
