This is an email exchange between me and my Catholic critic. He originally wrote to take issue with a portion of the book, "Roman Catholicism" by Dr. Loraine Boettner, that I read on Inquisition Update. A very small portion of that book deals with, "venial sin," a priestly invention of the Catholic Church, a distinction not supported but repudiated by scripture. He also commented about the pedophile priest pandemic. Though my response is a bit lengthy and repetitious as usual, those who are seeking the truth will find this exchange very useful and informative.

Here is another of my "minor' though important corrections. Priests do in fact forgive venial sins in confession. We are not required to confess them but it is recommended and we do get absolution for them. As you said, often is isn't easy to know if a sin is mortal or venial; there is and can be no definitive list. Too many variables.
Another thing. The latest priest-sex scandal (not really pedophilia but gay ephebophilia like 80% of the whole scandal) from the Netherlands has so horrified me that I might no longer be able to call myself Catholic. Can you believe that? At least one and maybe 10 teen boys in the 1950's became accustomed to homosexual acts through being abused by gay priests, and then were punished/"cured" of "being homosexual" in a Catholic hospital by being CASTRATED.
I am greatly sickened by this.

Minor? YES! Important correction? NO!
As usual, you nit pick about a minor man-made issue that Catholics don't even agree about and thereby you miss, or rather, EVADE the main point entirely. But that's your purpose, isn't it? EVASION? To dismiss as irrelevant the bulk of the salient and pertinent matter by finding some tiny little hitch in my "gitalong"? By that standard you could just as easily dismiss me, my entire program, and Dr. Boettner's book by merely pointing out that I mispronounced a word or two instead of nit picking about venial vs. mortal and whether or not venial sins should be confessed or not to a priest. How easily you deny the elephant standing in the living room. Honestly, XXXXXXX! You've either well studied Jesuit casuistry and sophistry and equivocation and evasion, or it comes naturally to you.
Well I'm not going to allow you to drag me down into a useless, Jesuitical, hair-splitting argument about venial vs. mortal sins (a priestly invention, a distinction that God specifically repudiates in His Word), nor whether or not they should be confessed to a priest. The point is, if you confess your sins to a mortal man, YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS! Your priests are not priests at all. Your priests cannot forgive sin! ANY sin! Venial or mortal (a distinction without a difference because God says EVERY sin is mortal!). Not your sins, nor anybody else's. Not even their own sins! Your priests are not "alter Christos," nor Christ's Vicars nor "confessors" nor mediators nor absolvers! They have no real power on earth extraordinary to any man and they, unlike Christ who is Holy and sinless and thereby our Only Confessor, are subject to all the sins of man, and are plagued by all the sins common to man, and especially the most grievous sins, blasphemy, idolatry, and Sodomy. Roman Catholic "priests" are not priests at all because God abolished the mortal priesthood* when He ripped the veil of the Temple and caused all sacrifices and oblations to cease when Christ became our only sacrifice and priest and mediator and confessor! Neither are the Roman priests "holy," even by the most loose and licentious standards. Priests are blasphemers, arrogating to themselves the powers, prerogatives, and authorities that belong to God only. They stand in stark contrast to Christ. They are the prophetic antitheses of Christ. They are Antichrist! If you confess your sins to a priest, YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS! No one can forgive sins but God only.
Mar_2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
*The Bible teaches and I believe in the universal priesthood of believers. I correctly make the distinction between the redeemed of God, God's priesthood of believers, and the abolished sacrificing priesthood of the idolatrous Cult of Rome. Neither do I believe that God will accept any more animal sacrifices from the Jews in a future Jewish temple made with hands. The universal priesthood of believers is declarative only. Only God can forgive sins.
The Roman Catholic "priestly" hierarchy commits the same blasphemies as did the Jewish "priestly" hierarchy of Jesus' day. But even they confessed the truth before their Only Confessor, Jesus Christ, when they said, "who can forgive sins but God only?" Despite their confession just cited, their abominable, blasphemous, and idolatrous example is given to us in scripture so that we can instantly recognize their abominable, blasphemous, and idolatrous modern-day counterparts, the Roman Catholic priesthood, who likewise reject Christ and the commandments of God by teaching their own traditions. Certainly they will receive the same condemnation when Christ returns. You can't, as you are so wont to do, legitimize a non-existent "priesthood" by arguing about a distinction (venial vs. mortal) that they themselves created! Jesus condemned the Jewish priests for teaching the commandments of men, and the Roman priests stand equally condemned for the exact same crime, teaching for doctrine their own commandments! Jesus never argued with them about the finer points of their own man-made commandments because they were condemned prima facia. Neither will I. For me or any other man of God to engage you in argument about the finer points of the man-made commandments and distinctions of the Roman Cult such as "venial vs. mortal" would be ridiculous because they are condemned prima facia!
Typical shrewd Catholic strategy. Get a Protestant to discredit himself by luring him to argue the finer points of uniquely Roman Catholic dogma as though it had any legitimacy at all.
But I'm not your typical, gullible, unlearned, post-Vatican II, dumbed-down, Jesuitized, Romanized, Ecu-Maniacal Evanjellybelly. I am a Bible believing Protestant! I will tell you what Jesus would say to you! Forsake your man-made laws and traditions! Worship God only and keep HIS COMMANDMENTS! That's the whole duty of man! Man may not add to or take away ANYTHING from God's Holy, Eternal, Immutable Law; not one jot or one tittle! That includes your so called, "One, Holy, Roman Catholic, and Apostolic Church!" and its so called Popes and priests! The Roman Cult has gutted God's Law, both adding to and taking away, so much so as to boast that she is against God altogether. And that she is! Even to the degree that she claims her "visible head," the Pope, replaces Christ who we may not see until He returns in all His Glory! Again, condemned prima facia!
As one near and dear Catholic friend once told me, "I just can't worship a God that I can't see." My answer to you is the same. From the cradle to the grave, your "church" teaches idolatry, to worship visible men and idols. This separates you from God because both are explicitly and repeatedly forbidden and condemned by God. FULL STOP! Visible images and idols also blind you from comprehending the Invisible God of Glory, the ONLY God who can hear confessions and forgive sins. FULL STOP! In light of these truths, what use is there in nit picking about venial vs. mortal sins?, especially when God's Holy Word makes no such distinction? "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." And: Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Yet you worship and obey the idolatrous priests of a priest-ridden church that totally denies altogether the second commandment forbidding idolatry, a commandment that also implies a Divine Recompense visited upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who make and worship idols! Here's the second commandment:
Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exo 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
The Lawless church of idolatry, Roman Catholicism, worships men and idols and also, as a direct result, suffers the Divine Recompense for it, Sodomy. And it is headed by the Supreme Idolator, one who blasphemously calls himself "God on earth" and "Holy Father" and commands that men bow down to him! But he is a blasphemer and an idol himself to whom idolators bow down and worship. And so are his priests! No one should wonder why Sodomy runs so openly and so rampantly within the Roman Catholic priesthood!
Ask yourself: Where was the Pope, the"Vicar of Christ" or his "alter Christos" priests when the foundations of the earth were laid? Where were they when the sun and the stars began to shine? Where were they when God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and made man a living soul? Who flung the stars into the heavens and called them all by name? The Pope? His "priests?" Before long, your "alter Christos" won't even be able to remember his own name much less the names of all the stars! Neither will he be able to remember his own man-made laws or which sins should be confessed to him! And it is he, not God, who makes the erroneous distinction between venial and mortal sins just to confuse you and to evade the FACT that he is no priest at all. And he teaches you to confess your sins to him, a sinful, wicked, blasphemous, idolatrous, and most likely, a Sodomite who calls himself a priest, a mere mortal man who teaches you to pray to man-made images and idols who speak not; neither can they give ear, nor can they even stand up on their own. But even those inanimate, lifeless images and idols, which God hates, are incapable of committing the multitudinous sins of the Roman priesthood or their Popes! How much more does God condemn worshiping them?
And while we're on the subject of idolatry (the most recognizable characteristic of every false religion since creation), and since you are justifiably distraught about the Sodomite priesthood (equally the most recognizable characteristic of every false religion since creation), please take a look at Romans chapter one and see for yourself why idolatry and Sodomy have a direct cause/effect relationship. This is precisely why the Roman priesthood and the monks and nuns are and always have been plagued with Sodomy. The answer is right there in God's Holy Word for anyone to see, and it is expressed in the most clear and explicit and understandable language found in all the Bible.
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Clearly, God reckons idolatry as a vile affection! God reckons idolatry as a corruption of His glorious body! God reckons idolatry as filthiness! God reckons idolatry as a lifeless perversion! Only God gives life, mortal or spiritual. No life of any kind, either mortal or spiritual, can come of idols. No wonder God condemns them! One simply cannot conceive the God of Glory by worshiping blind, deaf, dumb, mute, lame, and lifeless images! God absolutely detests them! The quickest to blind oneself, and the most sure way to provoke God to wrath, is to reduce Him to a man-made perversion! Idolatry inflames the wrath of ANYONE who comprehends the Glorious Eternal God.
Moses was outraged, after seeing but a fraction of God's Glorious person (His hinder parts only seen through a tiny cleft in the rock covered by God's own hand to conceal His full glory) on top of Mt. Sinai, to come down the mountain, his hair bleached white as snow and his face gleaming like the sun after seeing only but a peek, to find his people worshiping a dull, filthy, vile, dumb, mute, lame, and lifeless perversion of the Glorious God he'd just seen; to find them worshiping a man-made image of a golden calf just like the Apis Bull worshiped in pagan Egypt from where God miraculously and magnificently delivered them only weeks before! And who could blame him for being outraged, seeing them worshiping an extremely costly image of a four footed beast made with their own sinful wicked idolatrous hands! An image that couldn't even compare in glory to the sinful fallen fleshly hands that made it! And would it have been any more acceptable to God or Moses had it been an image like unto a man instead of a four footed beast? Would it have been any more acceptable to God or Moses if they were worshiping an image of a man? Or Moses himself? Can any man or any image made by man represent God? Why is this so difficult for Catholics to understand? Catholics worship both men and idols and they defend their error as though their salvation depends on it, when in fact it is the very cause of their condemnation and all their plagues, especially Sodomy!
How inferior is a man-made image of any kind to even the wicked human hands that made it! And how inferior is man to God Himself in His Glory! And God was so enraged at them for what they had made to worship that He swore to destroy them all and start another race out of Moses' loins. And who could blame Him? Are you comprehending what I'm telling you, XXXXXXX? You won't hear this sermon preached by ANY priest of Rome! Because if they preached this sermon, Catholics would understand and LEAVE the church!
I will try one more time to bring this point home to you. There is the Glory of God; unique to God alone, incomparable, unspeakable, incomprehensible, destructive, brighter than the sun! No man has ever seen God in all His full glory and lived to tell about it! The only way in this life to comprehend His inconceivable Glory is to read His Book and to peer into His infinite heavens! Glory of glories! Then there is the lesser glory of angels. Then there is the even lesser glory of man the way God originally created him in the Garden. Then there is the still lesser glory of fallen man after Adam fell. This is the glory that you and I have. The Bible says we are mortal and "desperately wicked"! Then, far below the glory of even the most sinful wicked fallen mortal man is the glory of inanimate, lifeless man-made images and idols of wood, stone, metal or paint. Who in his right mind would dare to make an inanimate, lifeless, man-made likeness of a man or of birds or of four-footed beasts or of creeping things and call it God and bow down and worship it when it is at least five levels lower in glory than God; images and dumb idols that are infinitely lower in glory than the sinful wicked fallen man who made it? Am I starting to make sense now, XXXXXXX?
Here's a clue. If you are not now outraged, as was God and Moses at seeing the Israelites worshiping a golden calf, then you still don't comprehend! But be that as it may, the Church of Rome is the church of idolatry and God pays a well deserved recompense to those who are so foolish as to make or bow down and worship filthy man-made images and idols! And that well deserved recompense is just as filthy, just as vile, just as disgusting, just as perverted, just as lifeless, and just as incapable of bringing forth life, mortal or spiritual, as is idolatry......That well deserved recompense is SODOMY!
Those who corrupt God and have a vile affection for lifeless images and idols, those who make and bow down to corrupt man-made images, are given over to like vile affections! Sodomy is a vile affection, is it not? It is vile, filthy, perverted, detestable, and can produce neither mortal nor spiritual life! In God's eyes, so is idolatry. How better to teach man the error of so corrupting the Glorious God than to cause man to corrupt himself likewise? God is JUST! God is WISE! God's punishments fit the crime!
There's no greater way to blind oneself to any right conception of God than to make an image that can't even compare to the fallen glory of sinful man let alone represent God! There's no more sure fire way to insult God or to provoke His wrath than to reduce His Glorious body into that of a filthy, man-made, lifeless image of any kind, man or bird or beast or creeping thing, which is done by every false religion on earth, especially the Roman Catholic religion. And for those who do this, those who have a vile affection for man-made perversions of God, God issues to them a Divine Recompense that is "meet" (suitable, like for like), a punishment that is a perfect mirror image of the crime of idolatry! Those who corrupt God, the Creator of all Heaven and Earth, by reducing Him to a filthy man-made image, are likewise reduced to corrupting their own bodies! Sodomy! Both male and female! The punishment perfectly fits the crime. Sodomy is a perfect mirror image punishment for idolatry. That's how we know it is a Divine Recompense. In the punishment itself, we can see the very crime that was committed to warrant it. In the Divine Recompense we can see the wisdom of God that no man can duplicate for lack of God's wisdom. "...and receiving in themselves that recompense (Divine judgment) for their error, which was MEET (perfectly suited, like for like, instructive).
Until our "civilized" age, most people instantly recognized Sodomy as most repulsive, filthy, reprehensible if not disgustingly unnatural. Why, common sense tells us that if Sodomy prevails, mankind would cease to exist. This is exactly how God views idolatry. So, why did not man search the scriptures to discover its cause? Why not the priests of Rome, the self-professed Divine Right interpreters of God's Word, the priests who are most plagued by Sodomy? Certainly, if Sodomy is wicked, God would tell us why? And HE DID! Romans chapter one! But it also tells us that idolatry and Sodomy has a cause/effect relationship. But idolatrous man doesn't want to hear what God has to say about idolatry or Sodomy. So idolators keep worshiping men and idols and images and then teach everybody that Sodomy is merely an alternative lifestyle and that it is wrong to judge or condemn those who "express their sexuality this way," just as it is wrong to judge and condemn those who express their religion by worshiping idols! Now, just like idolatry, Sodomy is no longer regarded a sin in the world, even among the idolatrous Roman priesthood. This is the same state of affairs that existed in Sodom before its destruction. So what is God now to do but to destroy the idolators, the Sodomites, with fire and brimstone just the way He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah? If mankind is now ready to accept Sodomy merely as an alternative lifestyle and not a judgment of God, as they did in Sodom, what hope is there that man will ever view Sodomy as a correction from idolatry? If man can't or won't comprehend that Sodomy is a Divine Recompense for the even greater sin of idolatry, what hope is there that our generation will ever repent of idolatry?
How many people read Romans chapter one and never comprehend its plain English meaning? How many priests? Because man, especially the Sodomite priests of Rome who claim exclusive prerogative to interpret the scriptures, simply cannot and will not view idolatry from God's perspective, nor can they see in Sodomy a Divine mirror image punishment of idolatry. Man simply cannot understand plain English when it expresses God's righteous and instructive hatred for idolatry. Man, especially the "priests," simply will not give up idolatry, even after reading example after example after example of God's wrath being meted out to every generation of idolators, and especially upon those who called themselves, "God's people"! Dare I ask you now what the REAL sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was and why God destroyed them so violently as an example for future generations?
I'll spell it out because I will leave nothing to chance! The REAL sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was IDOLATRY. Sodom and Gomorrah were ancient cities built by Nimrod, the first postdiluvian god/man that was worshiped by men, just as the Pope is worshiped today. Sodom and Gomorrah were sister cities of Babel, Nineveh (which worshiped the fish god, Dagon but repented and was spared for a time because of Jonah who, being vomited by the great fish, warned them to repent of their idolatry), Accad, Erech, and Calneh in the land of Shinar (Gen 10:10) These were all idolatrous cities who made images and idols to Nimrod, their "builder" (don't forget this because Freemasonry calls themselves, "The Builders"), who was later known as the sun god, Baal.
The ancient ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah have been positively found, exactly where they are told to be in the scriptures, hidden in plain sight right along the road bordering the Dead Sea. In these ancient ruins are clearly seen the remnants of the idols that they worshiped. And also burned into the stones of the city are found nuggets of pure sulfur that burns to this day when lit. They're everywhere and cannot be mistaken for anything but what they are, the positive remnants of God's judgment! http://www.arkdiscovery.com/sodom_&_gomorrah.htm. Because Sodom and Gomorrah would not repent of their idolatry, God struck them with His Divine Recompense to teach them the error of their idolatry and caused them to corrupt their own bodies just as they corrupted God's body by their filthy lifeless idols! Instead of repenting of idolatry, the Divine Recompense for idolatry, Sodomy, ran openly and rampantly in the streets. And Sodomites, instead of seeing in their unnatural affliction a recompense for their unnatural affection for idols and repenting of idolatry, simply mainstreamed their sexual malady instead of taking the cure, just like the world is doing today! When they either wouldn't or couldn't comprehend the unnatural, filthy, vile, perversion of their own unnatural affections and continued to worship idols and corrupt their own bodies likewise, there was no hope that they'd ever comprehend how wickedly perverted God perceived their idolatry. The only thing left for God to do was to destroy them, and to do it in such a way that the world would never forget!
And who is responsible for not teaching us these historical and biblical truths? Who hid this knowledge from us? Who is more responsible than the idolatrous Sodomite priests of Rome who forbid on pain of excommunication and charges of heresy any man who departs or who deviates from their teaching!
But in the Roman Catholic Cult, the priests are Sodomites. Why? Because they have the exact same unnatural affection for idols, for corrupting God's Glory and reducing Him to images made like to corruptible man just as did the men of Sodom! And they also worship a man who calls himself God, just like Nimrod. But who would ever dare suggest that they too ought to break down their images and idols? NONE! Who would dare suggest that the Pope is an idol, a modern-day equivalent to Nimrod? NONE! So Sodomy runs openly and rampantly through the priesthood of Rome, just as it did in Sodom, and for the exact same reasons. And just like the idolators of Sodom before them, no repentance is in store for the Roman priests, either for idolatry or for Sodomy. Instead, Rome defends their idolatry and then covers up for their Sodomites and makes pious pleas for forgiveness and reconciliation to her innumerable, under-age, same sex victims with whom they have corrupted their own bodies just like they corrupt God's through their idols. Now our entire generation seeks to mainstream Sodomy exactly like it was mainstreamed in Sodom just before her final destruction. Sodomy is so protected today that you can go to any online Bible dictionary and you will not even find the word, Sodomy, listed. If you do, it will not have a definition. It will be blank. It is no longer acceptable to define or condemn Sodomy by "Christians." To do so is to condemn Catholicism!
When Israel fell into idolatry, is it any wonder that God likened Jerusalem to Sodom and Egypt? What did Jerusalem have in common with Sodom and Egypt? IDOLATRY! The idolatry of Egypt is renown and visible even to this day. Now that Sodom and Gomorrah have been discovered with brimstone and the ruins of idols lying in heaps everywhere, who can doubt! And who can doubt that Rome stands as the modern day Sodom and Egypt! One Catholic writer recently wrote that the Catholic Church is the new Israel. He's absolutely correct, but for the wrong reason. The only thing the Catholic Church has in common with Israel is when Israel fell into idolatry. Also in common is her sacrificing priesthood who reject the Commandments of God so that they can keep their own laws and traditions and offer man-made sacrifices instead of accepting the one-time all-sufficient blood sacrifice of Christ. They have their rich, elaborate temples and rituals when God is no longer worshiped in temples made with hands or by man-made rituals. Indeed, Rome is the new Israel, but not the Godly, obedient Israel, but the wicked idolatrous Israel whom God judged!
Only when one comprehends what idolatry is in God's eyes can one comprehend what Sodomy is or how to remedy it. Until then, Rome's idolatrous priests WILL REMAIN SODOMITES! Celibacy has NOTHING to do with it! If allowed to marry, their unnatural affections won't go away! They will continue to defile their own bodies with men, boys, and other Sodomite priests until they break down their idols and repent of idolatry and quit corrupting God with their idols! No other message can be taken from Romans chapter one than this! Yet the world amazingly and simply can't explain, diagnose, treat, or cure Sodomy! Why? Because they won't read God's Book or obey His commandments and begin to see idolatry for the corruption that it is. And no one is more stubborn than the priests of Rome! And Catholics are at a loss to explain why their priesthood has forever been plagued by Sodomy because they too don't read God's Book or keep His Commandments, especially not the commandment forbidding idolatry, the second commandment. Not knowing God's second commandment forbidding idolatry and not seeing what idolatry is in God's eyes, neither do they understanding what Sodomy is, a Divine Recompense for the sin of idolatry. Therefore, they erroneously and ignorantly blame priestly Sodomy on celibacy and chastity when the priests and the popes have never been celibate or chaste despite their vows; multitudes of them having wives and concubines openly and secretly! Even then, Sodomy was still practiced by them as attested to by numberless Roman Catholic historians and monks and nuns and other chroniclers of the Church!
Sodomy among the Papacy and the priesthood is as old as the practice of idolatry in the Roman Church, and that idolatry was passed down to it from pagan Rome. In other words, Sodomy is as old as the Roman Church itself. Sodomy has always been Rome's characteristic scourge and will continue to be its scourge as long as idolatry is practiced, whether the Popes and priests are allowed to marry or not! FULL STOP! And pedophilia is just a way to practice that Sodomite scourge with someone who can be threatened into silence and who is unlikely to blackmail the black robes and sue the church for its wealth and assets! But glory to God, some of these kids are finding the courage to expose what has forever been largely hidden to the unsuspecting world. God grant them even more courage. May He also grant them courage to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth and not after the idolatrous ways of the Roman Church in which they were debauched!
All that being said, contrary to the common beliefs of many liberal and conservative Catholics, priestly chastity and celibacy have absolutely NOTHING to do with Sodomy! There is NO cause/effect relationship between chastity/celibacy and Sodomy.
Paul was chaste. But he was NOT a Sodomite. Paul was NOT a Sodomite because he was NOT an idolator. Paul was not an idolator because Paul bowed down ONLY to the living God of Creation. Therefore, Paul was immune from the plague of Sodomy, unlike the idolatrous priests of Rome. Paul preached AGAINST idolatry in every form, especially bowing down to other sinful men. When men bowed down to Paul, Paul ripped his own clothes in horrified grief and rebuked them immediately and told them to bow down to God only! Do you think it only a coincidence that this episode occurred in Rome? Paul would not even bow down to Caesar who had the power to remove his head, which eventually did happen. Paul was NOT CATHOLIC and he suffered NONE of Rome's plagues! He died a martyr of Christ just like the millions after him who for 2000 years have rejected Pontifex Maximus, his priests, and his idols.
By the Church of Rome's own official published teaching, the Pope is Caesar (Pontifex Maximus) and has all the power of Caesar (temporal and spiritual power). Just like Caesar, the Pope, who calls himself, "Pontifex Maximus," "Supreme Pontiff" and other blasphemous names, also claims to be the god/man...priest/king...King of kings and Lord of lords....God on Earth! And like Caesar, he too blasphemously commands that men bow down to him in idolatrous adoration, especially his bishops and priests and the kings of this world over whom he rules. And those who bow down to them and obey them are justly plagued with the Divine Recompense of Romans chapter one, SODOMY! Is it any wonder that there are so many Sodomites in Washington DC, in the highest offices in our land? Washington DC, where the Popes and priests of Rome wield their most power and influence! Wherever one finds idolatry, one also finds Sodomy. Wherever one finds Sodomy, one also finds idolatry. Its a cause/effect relationship. Washington DC, the priestly and Sodomite capital of this once Protestant land! Washington DC, the Idolatry capital of America!
Any infant child of God who is old enough to read and reason, who has never been corrupted by the churches, could read Romans chapter one and explain exactly why Sodomy especially plagues the Roman priesthood. And if you will just read that chapter, particularly those verses given above, with the unpolluted eyes of a child, as if reading it for the very first time, not having been corrupted by Rome's teaching, then you will see it too.
Allowing the priests to marry is NO remedy for priestly Sodomy! And Rome dare not allow her Sodomite priests to marry, or this assertion will be proved to the whole world.
The remedy for Sodomy is NOT castration either! Typical of the "earthy" counterfeit church that she is, Rome seeks an earthy remedy for a spiritual malady! Idolatry is a spiritual malady. So is Sodomy. Both require a spiritual remedy, not an earthy one. The remedy for Sodomy is NOT castration, or marriage, but to REPENT of idolatry by breaking down all images and idols and stop bowing down to sinful wicked men and worship God ONLY! This is what celibate Paul taught. Yes, he also taught that it is better to marry than to burn with lust. But he was talking about Godly men and women marrying, not Sodomites!
Idolatry is a spiritual corruption. Your priests teach the opposite. Your church teaches the opposite. Catholics practice the opposite. And neither you nor your Catholic children or grandchildren or great grandchildren are immune from God's Divine Recompense for idolatry (Sodomy) any more than are the Roman priests, because God visits the iniquity of idolators unto the third and fourth generation of idolators; so saith God in the second commandment, Exodus 20:4-6, the very commandment that your popes and your priests and your church blasphemously removed from God's Holy, Eternal, and Immutable Law as if they had the power or the authority to do so!
You have no excuse any longer to be in a quandary about Sodomy among the priesthood of the idolatrous Roman church! The priests are Sodomites because they are idolators and they teach others to be idolators! Pedophilia is only a way to satisfy their unnatural, vile, Sodomite affections upon those who can be threatened into silence and are unlikely to blackmail the priests or sue the church; Children! Your clinical terms and distinctions ("ephebophilia") and hair-splitting (venial vs. mortal) only cloud your mind, which they are intended to do. And you are prone to do this because you've been taught all your Catholic life to value sinful, wicked men's wisdom and teachings and traditions over that of God's wisdom and teachings and to engage in Jesuitical casuistry, sophistry, equivocation, deception, and evasion when accused or questioned about your antichrist beliefs and practices. This is the very definition of Catholicism! Replacing God and His teachings with that of sinful, wicked men!; mere men so vile and wicked that they would claim even to be God's replacements, "alter Christos" on the earth!
And before you even make the claim that Sodomy is not exclusive to the Roman Cult and that it is also becoming a scourge in the Ecu-Maniacal Evanjellybelly churches, I will answer that there are becoming more and more idolators within those churches! And what idol do they worship? The same blasphemous one that the Romans worship.... "Alter Christos," the "Vicar of Christ," "Caesar," the "Man of Sin," the "Judas Priest who betrays Christ with a kiss and who sells Him as though He were a mere slave of his," the Biblical and historical "Antichrist," the POPE OF ROME! The longer the Pope's Ecumenical Movement continues to deceive and to lure blind, deaf, and spiritually dumb Evanjellybellies back into the arms of the idolatrous Roman Antichrist, the more and more Sodomy will become a scourge in the Evenjellybelly churches. God is no respecter of persons and the Divine Recompense of Sodomy will likewise plague the Evanjellybelly churches over time. I predict that, before long, Rome will point her wicked finger at the Evanjellybelly churches and condemn their Sodomy to distract the world from her own most ancient plague.
The "Harlot Daughters" of Revelation 17 (those churches who were born of Rome) are now coming of age and their Roman heritage is now exposed! Like most daughters, as they age, they begin more and more to take on the spitting image of their Mother! Nowadays one can barely tell them apart! In my sister's Evanjellybelly church, the pastor comes to the Sunday pulpit wearing a Paper Mache Bishop's miter (the funky fish-head hat complete with tails) and teaches that the communion bread is called, "The Eucharist." No doubt eventually he'll begin to teach that the "Eucharist" is "the body of Christ" and "a sacrifice" and that it is to be bowed down to and worshiped as Christ and to be offered again and again on the alter! That requires that he also teach Transubstantiation! He also teaches about 40 days of Lent, which is in fact the same 40 days of lamentation (weeping) for the slain pagan god Tammuz spoken of in Ezekiel chapter 8 for which the Israelites were guilty! Soon they will begin to teach a veneration for "Mary" as "Queen of Heaven" and to conduct monotonous communal repetitious prayers and rosaries as though God were as deaf and dumb as their idols, and the recital of certain Catholic Church "Creeds" and liturgies as does the apostate, Ecumenical, Romanized, Jesuitized, Church of England, which has effectively repudiated the Protestant Reformation, Christ, and His Holy Word.
I predicted these abominations over a decade ago after finally comprehending what the Roman Catholic Church was all about and what the Ecumenical Movement was all about! I will have no ecumenical union with idolators and blasphemers and Sodomites, nor will I suffer their plagues. I've come out of those idolatrous churches just as you should come out of "HOLY MOTHER CHURCH," XXXXXXX!
This entire email should explain to you in vivid and understandable and common sense terms why the Bible specifically states that God's judgement begins in the house of God! Get out before that judgement falls, XXXXXXX! Look how many times God smote Israel for practicing the abominations of the heathens: idolatry and baking cakes to the "Queen of Heaven"!; the same abominations committed by Rome! What difference in God's eyes does it make if the idolatrous Israelites bowed down to a golden calf and obelisks (groves) and other such idols, and idolatrous "Christians" today bowing down to men and to a piece of bread!!! And what prey tell is that abomination standing erect in the middle of St. Peter's Piazza? If God did not spare Israel for these abominations, what hope does the Roman church have? What hope do the Ecu-Maniacal Evanjellybelly churches have that are reuniting with Rome? NONE!
You say rightly that you "might no longer be able to call myself Catholic." But don't be deceived to think that you can jump out of the Roman Catholic fire by jumping into the Ecu-Maniacal Evanjellybelly or the Ecu-Maniacal Orthodox frying pan as so many Catholics are doing these days! In the Name of Christ, XXXXXXX, learn to worship the God one cannot see with his mortal eyes and live to tell about it! Learn to worship the Living God who cannot be worshiped through deaf, dumb and dead images and idols and priestly or matronly mediators! Learn to worship the God who can only be worshiped directly, in Spirit and in Truth, and whose only mediator is the man, Christ Jesus! Get His Book, the Authorized King James Bible and read and learn about Him and worship Him ONLY so that you are not consumed by the brightness of His soon appearing! The Harlot Daughters are going home to "Mother Church;" they're going back to Sodom and Egypt; they're going back to ROME! They are no longer any refuge for a true man of God any more than is the Roman Catholic Cult! Abandon the teachings and traditions of men because they will all be found to be LIARS when the Light of Life returns!
I end right where I began. Where was the Pope or his priests when the foundations of the earth were laid, and when the sun and the stars began to shine, and when God created man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and made him a living soul? For the love of Almighty God, XXXXXXX, repent! You're far too intelligent to believe such childish lies as Rome teaches. There's no man on this earth who can forgive your sins or mine! If we confess our sins to men, we will DIE IN OUR SINS! God has a law: Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. Where is the blood in your bloodless Eucharistic sacrifice? Christ shed His own blood so that we might be washed in it. What pope ever lost a drop of blood for God's people? The only blood that has been shed by the Popes of Rome is the blood of the millions of Saints and the Martyrs of Jesus. Christ said to suffer the little children to come to HIM, NOT the Pope! Christ warned those who would harm an innocent child saying that it would be better for them if a millstone were tied about their necks and cast into the sea. Where does that put your Sodomite priests, XXXXXXX? The All Holy God of Creation is trying to tell us ALL something so obvious by exposing the Sodomy and pedophilia of those who call themselves "alter Christos" and this sin-sick world calls "Holy"! Be converted to CHRIST and Him ONLY! Seeing is NOT believing, XXXXXXX. We are not allowed to see Him. And if we did, in our mortal flesh, see Him in His glory, we would be consumed! Count all men as LIARS, including ME!; but especially those who call themselves "priests"! No man is infallible! God clearly said He gives His Glory to NO MAN! The wisdom of this world is FOOLISHNESS to God! And who are those in this sin-sick world who count themselves to be the most wise but the Popes and priests of Rome! Thinking themselves wise, they became FOOLS and changed the Glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like unto corruptible man and birds and four footed beasts and creeping things! Your Popes and priests are FOOLS, XXXXXXX. And the fall of the Ecu-Maniacal Evanjellybelly and Orthodox churches is due to nothing else but their rejection of Christ in exchange for the "wisdom" of the idolatrous Roman priests!
There is liberty and peace and assurance of salvation in Christ alone, XXXXXXX. Claim it as do I. By faith believing! "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things NOT SEEN!" Where does that leave your "visible church" and its "visible head"? NOWHERE! "For by Grace are ye saved through faith, and not of yourselves. It is a gift of God, not of works (sacraments) lest any man (or priest) should boast!" God said salvation is a GIFT, received by faith alone. If it is to be earned by works (sacraments), then it is NOT a gift at all but must be earned, thus enabling man to boast! This is the boast of Rome, XXXXXXX!
Contrary to teachings of the Popes, they are NOT of the Order of Melchizedek! The Order of Melchizedek is an eternal (immortal) priesthood, XXXXXXX. There are NO mortal priests in that Order. There is but ONE HIGH PRIEST after the immortal, eternal Order of Melchizedek, Christ Jesus. He stands ALONE at the right hand of the Throne of God making intercession for you if you will just receive Him and confess directly and privately to Him and reject His diabolical, earthy, Popish counterfeit and his priests.
Contrary to the wicked teachings of men, The Kingdom of Christ is invisible. And so is its Heavenly Head. But only for a little while longer. The members of His Kingdom will soon be revealed to the whole world when the Light of Life returns and not until! At His return, the whole world will then know in an instant who truly served Him and worshiped Him. Paraphrasing: For, the dead in CHRIST (those who have died in Christ, not in the Pope) will rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and we shall be like Him, bright and shining like the sun, just like Moses! We shall see Christ as He is, in all His Glory, for we shall be just like Him. Our darkened, mortal, sinful bodies will then be like His Glorious, Immortal, Sinless body, bright, shining as the sun! It will be at this very moment that every idolator the world over will finally comprehend, as did Moses, just how foolish and wicked and abominable and woefully inadequate are all their man-made images and idols! At this very instant the whole idolatrous world will finally comprehend the rage of Moses when he came down from witnessing the muted Glory of God to find his people worshiping a filthy man-made golden calf that could do nothing but insult God and blind the people. The Popes and the priests of Rome will have no part in this resurrection because no idolator or Sodomite will be allowed to enter the Kingdom of Christ.
Break down your images and idols, XXXXXXX! Don't wait until that day to be ashamed and appalled at them and at yourself. Don't wait till then to discover that the Pope is no replacement of Christ on earth! Don't wait till then to learn that you've served in the Church of Antichrist all your life! I came out of the idolatrous Evanjellybelly churches. How much more should you come out of their Whorish Romish Mother Church! Get a copy of Dr. Loraine Boettner's book, "Roman Catholicism" and read it yourself. Contact Richard Bennett, a Reformed Irish Roman Catholic Priest and former Dominican monk who was trained by the Jesuits at the Gregorian University in Rome, now gloriously saved by grace alone, through faith alone, by the blood of Christ ALONE, a sweet and gentle and blessed man who dedicates his entire ministry charitably to Roman Catholics. Read his website, www.bereanbeacon.org. Watch all his videos on Youtube. He's got a different style than me; one that you may find far more palatable than mine. I'm still angered by the betrayal of my churches and my pastors, and by the attacks and assaults and threats and jamming by amateur radio operators, Catholics and Freemasons mostly, who did everything in their power for ten long years, fair or foul (mostly foul), to get me off the air. But don't expect him to be a pushover. He's more Protestant than I am. And he's been to one of the best Roman Catholic University there is. He's more knowledgeable about Catholicism than both of us and you can't nit pick him at all.
Throw off the shackles of Rome and what passes for "Christianity" today and stand fast in the Liberty wherein Christ and Him Alone has made us FREE!
A man's God is not determined by what church he goes to or by what God he merely professes with his mouth. A man's God is ONLY determined by who he obeys! Forsake the man-made cult of Rome and its laws and traditions. Forsake your idols! Worship God and keep His commandments. ALL of them! That's the whole duty of man!
The Pedophile Priest Pandemic in the world is screaming to you, XXXXXXX! It is God's way of showing you and the whole world the idolatrous error of the Roman Church! GET OUT! In the Name of Christ, the ONLY priest in Heaven and Earth!
What sense is there in nit-picking about "venial vs. mortal" sin (a mere priestly invention; a distinction that is explicitly repudiated by the Word of Almighty God), when your priests have NO AUTHORITY whatsoever to define sin, or to hear confessions, or to forgive ANY sin? Again, how could a man like you strain at a gnat when there's an elephant standing on your neck! How can a man like you use such a trivial and contrived and non-existent distinction as any kind of argument while ignoring Mt. Everest looming above you! How is it that you feel justified to nit-pick over "venial vs. mortal" and never even attempt to address the MULTITUDE of inexplicable and monstrous atrocities committed by your Popes and priests and the "church" as a whole? If someone was proving to me by a mountain of direct evidence that my Mother is a Whore, what good would it do in her defense for me to trivially argue that she used Crisco (venial) instead of bacon fat (mortal) to fry her eggs in the morning! Good grief, XXXXXXX! If I responded the way you do, you'd say I was in denial.
Your Mother Church is a Whore, XXXXXXX. The Scarlet Harlot of Revelation 17. The Biblical and historical evidence to the truth of this assertion is overwhelming and I enumerate them every day on Inquisition Update and every night on amateur radio. I've got her little black book with all her clients' names and phone numbers written in her own handwriting! Her clients openly confess that she's the biggest, the wealthiest, the most beautiful, the most alluring, and most desirable Whore in town. Don't try defending her as a virgin by arguing that she uses Crisco instead of bacon fat to fry her eggs in the morning! Venial vs. Mortal my eye!
Your "minor but important correction" is MOOT. The priests are NOT PRIESTS AT ALL, NOR CAN THEY FORGIVE SIN, VENIAL OR MORTAL, A DISTINCTION OF THEIR OWN INVENTION!!!
And if you find some little hitch in my "gitalong" anywhere in this email response, don't think for a minute that I'll allow you to use that "minor correction" to dismiss the salient bulk of it. Address the elephant standing on your neck or don't waste any more of my time.
Respectfully, though maybe not so sugar coated as you would like,
Tom Friess,

Here is another of my "minor' though important corrections. Priests do in fact forgive venial sins in confession. We are not required to confess them but it is recommended and we do get absolution for them. As you said, often is isn't easy to know if a sin is mortal or venial; there is and can be no definitive list. Too many variables.
Another thing. The latest priest-sex scandal (not really pedophilia but gay ephebophilia like 80% of the whole scandal) from the Netherlands has so horrified me that I might no longer be able to call myself Catholic. Can you believe that? At least one and maybe 10 teen boys in the 1950's became accustomed to homosexual acts through being abused by gay priests, and then were punished/"cured" of "being homosexual" in a Catholic hospital by being CASTRATED.
I am greatly sickened by this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minor? YES! Important correction? NO!
As usual, you nit pick about a minor man-made issue that Catholics don't even agree about and thereby you miss, or rather, EVADE the main point entirely. But that's your purpose, isn't it? EVASION? To dismiss as irrelevant the bulk of the salient and pertinent matter by finding some tiny little hitch in my "gitalong"? By that standard you could just as easily dismiss me, my entire program, and Dr. Boettner's book by merely pointing out that I mispronounced a word or two instead of nit picking about venial vs. mortal and whether or not venial sins should be confessed or not to a priest. How easily you deny the elephant standing in the living room. Honestly, XXXXXXX! You've either well studied Jesuit casuistry and sophistry and equivocation and evasion, or it comes naturally to you.
Well I'm not going to allow you to drag me down into a useless, Jesuitical, hair-splitting argument about venial vs. mortal sins (a priestly invention, a distinction that God specifically repudiates in His Word), nor whether or not they should be confessed to a priest. The point is, if you confess your sins to a mortal man, YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS! Your priests are not priests at all. Your priests cannot forgive sin! ANY sin! Venial or mortal (a distinction without a difference because God says EVERY sin is mortal!). Not your sins, nor anybody else's. Not even their own sins! Your priests are not "alter Christos," nor Christ's Vicars nor "confessors" nor mediators nor absolvers! They have no real power on earth extraordinary to any man and they, unlike Christ who is Holy and sinless and thereby our Only Confessor, are subject to all the sins of man, and are plagued by all the sins common to man, and especially the most grievous sins, blasphemy, idolatry, and Sodomy. Roman Catholic "priests" are not priests at all because God abolished the mortal priesthood* when He ripped the veil of the Temple and caused all sacrifices and oblations to cease when Christ became our only sacrifice and priest and mediator and confessor! Neither are the Roman priests "holy," even by the most loose and licentious standards. Priests are blasphemers, arrogating to themselves the powers, prerogatives, and authorities that belong to God only. They stand in stark contrast to Christ. They are the prophetic antitheses of Christ. They are Antichrist! If you confess your sins to a priest, YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS! No one can forgive sins but God only.
Mar_2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
*The Bible teaches and I believe in the universal priesthood of believers. I correctly make the distinction between the redeemed of God, God's priesthood of believers, and the abolished sacrificing priesthood of the idolatrous Cult of Rome. Neither do I believe that God will accept any more animal sacrifices from the Jews in a future Jewish temple made with hands. The universal priesthood of believers is declarative only. Only God can forgive sins.
The Roman Catholic "priestly" hierarchy commits the same blasphemies as did the Jewish "priestly" hierarchy of Jesus' day. But even they confessed the truth before their Only Confessor, Jesus Christ, when they said, "who can forgive sins but God only?" Despite their confession just cited, their abominable, blasphemous, and idolatrous example is given to us in scripture so that we can instantly recognize their abominable, blasphemous, and idolatrous modern-day counterparts, the Roman Catholic priesthood, who likewise reject Christ and the commandments of God by teaching their own traditions. Certainly they will receive the same condemnation when Christ returns. You can't, as you are so wont to do, legitimize a non-existent "priesthood" by arguing about a distinction (venial vs. mortal) that they themselves created! Jesus condemned the Jewish priests for teaching the commandments of men, and the Roman priests stand equally condemned for the exact same crime, teaching for doctrine their own commandments! Jesus never argued with them about the finer points of their own man-made commandments because they were condemned prima facia. Neither will I. For me or any other man of God to engage you in argument about the finer points of the man-made commandments and distinctions of the Roman Cult such as "venial vs. mortal" would be ridiculous because they are condemned prima facia!
Typical shrewd Catholic strategy. Get a Protestant to discredit himself by luring him to argue the finer points of uniquely Roman Catholic dogma as though it had any legitimacy at all.
But I'm not your typical, gullible, unlearned, post-Vatican II, dumbed-down, Jesuitized, Romanized, Ecu-Maniacal Evanjellybelly. I am a Bible believing Protestant! I will tell you what Jesus would say to you! Forsake your man-made laws and traditions! Worship God only and keep HIS COMMANDMENTS! That's the whole duty of man! Man may not add to or take away ANYTHING from God's Holy, Eternal, Immutable Law; not one jot or one tittle! That includes your so called, "One, Holy, Roman Catholic, and Apostolic Church!" and its so called Popes and priests! The Roman Cult has gutted God's Law, both adding to and taking away, so much so as to boast that she is against God altogether. And that she is! Even to the degree that she claims her "visible head," the Pope, replaces Christ who we may not see until He returns in all His Glory! Again, condemned prima facia!
As one near and dear Catholic friend once told me, "I just can't worship a God that I can't see." My answer to you is the same. From the cradle to the grave, your "church" teaches idolatry, to worship visible men and idols. This separates you from God because both are explicitly and repeatedly forbidden and condemned by God. FULL STOP! Visible images and idols also blind you from comprehending the Invisible God of Glory, the ONLY God who can hear confessions and forgive sins. FULL STOP! In light of these truths, what use is there in nit picking about venial vs. mortal sins?, especially when God's Holy Word makes no such distinction? "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." And: Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Yet you worship and obey the idolatrous priests of a priest-ridden church that totally denies altogether the second commandment forbidding idolatry, a commandment that also implies a Divine Recompense visited upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who make and worship idols! Here's the second commandment:
Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exo 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
The Lawless church of idolatry, Roman Catholicism, worships men and idols and also, as a direct result, suffers the Divine Recompense for it, Sodomy. And it is headed by the Supreme Idolator, one who blasphemously calls himself "God on earth" and "Holy Father" and commands that men bow down to him! But he is a blasphemer and an idol himself to whom idolators bow down and worship. And so are his priests! No one should wonder why Sodomy runs so openly and so rampantly within the Roman Catholic priesthood!
Ask yourself: Where was the Pope, the"Vicar of Christ" or his "alter Christos" priests when the foundations of the earth were laid? Where were they when the sun and the stars began to shine? Where were they when God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and made man a living soul? Who flung the stars into the heavens and called them all by name? The Pope? His "priests?" Before long, your "alter Christos" won't even be able to remember his own name much less the names of all the stars! Neither will he be able to remember his own man-made laws or which sins should be confessed to him! And it is he, not God, who makes the erroneous distinction between venial and mortal sins just to confuse you and to evade the FACT that he is no priest at all. And he teaches you to confess your sins to him, a sinful, wicked, blasphemous, idolatrous, and most likely, a Sodomite who calls himself a priest, a mere mortal man who teaches you to pray to man-made images and idols who speak not; neither can they give ear, nor can they even stand up on their own. But even those inanimate, lifeless images and idols, which God hates, are incapable of committing the multitudinous sins of the Roman priesthood or their Popes! How much more does God condemn worshiping them?
And while we're on the subject of idolatry (the most recognizable characteristic of every false religion since creation), and since you are justifiably distraught about the Sodomite priesthood (equally the most recognizable characteristic of every false religion since creation), please take a look at Romans chapter one and see for yourself why idolatry and Sodomy have a direct cause/effect relationship. This is precisely why the Roman priesthood and the monks and nuns are and always have been plagued with Sodomy. The answer is right there in God's Holy Word for anyone to see, and it is expressed in the most clear and explicit and understandable language found in all the Bible.
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Clearly, God reckons idolatry as a vile affection! God reckons idolatry as a corruption of His glorious body! God reckons idolatry as filthiness! God reckons idolatry as a lifeless perversion! Only God gives life, mortal or spiritual. No life of any kind, either mortal or spiritual, can come of idols. No wonder God condemns them! One simply cannot conceive the God of Glory by worshiping blind, deaf, dumb, mute, lame, and lifeless images! God absolutely detests them! The quickest to blind oneself, and the most sure way to provoke God to wrath, is to reduce Him to a man-made perversion! Idolatry inflames the wrath of ANYONE who comprehends the Glorious Eternal God.
Moses was outraged, after seeing but a fraction of God's Glorious person (His hinder parts only seen through a tiny cleft in the rock covered by God's own hand to conceal His full glory) on top of Mt. Sinai, to come down the mountain, his hair bleached white as snow and his face gleaming like the sun after seeing only but a peek, to find his people worshiping a dull, filthy, vile, dumb, mute, lame, and lifeless perversion of the Glorious God he'd just seen; to find them worshiping a man-made image of a golden calf just like the Apis Bull worshiped in pagan Egypt from where God miraculously and magnificently delivered them only weeks before! And who could blame him for being outraged, seeing them worshiping an extremely costly image of a four footed beast made with their own sinful wicked idolatrous hands! An image that couldn't even compare in glory to the sinful fallen fleshly hands that made it! And would it have been any more acceptable to God or Moses had it been an image like unto a man instead of a four footed beast? Would it have been any more acceptable to God or Moses if they were worshiping an image of a man? Or Moses himself? Can any man or any image made by man represent God? Why is this so difficult for Catholics to understand? Catholics worship both men and idols and they defend their error as though their salvation depends on it, when in fact it is the very cause of their condemnation and all their plagues, especially Sodomy!
How inferior is a man-made image of any kind to even the wicked human hands that made it! And how inferior is man to God Himself in His Glory! And God was so enraged at them for what they had made to worship that He swore to destroy them all and start another race out of Moses' loins. And who could blame Him? Are you comprehending what I'm telling you, XXXXXXX? You won't hear this sermon preached by ANY priest of Rome! Because if they preached this sermon, Catholics would understand and LEAVE the church!
I will try one more time to bring this point home to you. There is the Glory of God; unique to God alone, incomparable, unspeakable, incomprehensible, destructive, brighter than the sun! No man has ever seen God in all His full glory and lived to tell about it! The only way in this life to comprehend His inconceivable Glory is to read His Book and to peer into His infinite heavens! Glory of glories! Then there is the lesser glory of angels. Then there is the even lesser glory of man the way God originally created him in the Garden. Then there is the still lesser glory of fallen man after Adam fell. This is the glory that you and I have. The Bible says we are mortal and "desperately wicked"! Then, far below the glory of even the most sinful wicked fallen mortal man is the glory of inanimate, lifeless man-made images and idols of wood, stone, metal or paint. Who in his right mind would dare to make an inanimate, lifeless, man-made likeness of a man or of birds or of four-footed beasts or of creeping things and call it God and bow down and worship it when it is at least five levels lower in glory than God; images and dumb idols that are infinitely lower in glory than the sinful wicked fallen man who made it? Am I starting to make sense now, XXXXXXX?
Here's a clue. If you are not now outraged, as was God and Moses at seeing the Israelites worshiping a golden calf, then you still don't comprehend! But be that as it may, the Church of Rome is the church of idolatry and God pays a well deserved recompense to those who are so foolish as to make or bow down and worship filthy man-made images and idols! And that well deserved recompense is just as filthy, just as vile, just as disgusting, just as perverted, just as lifeless, and just as incapable of bringing forth life, mortal or spiritual, as is idolatry......That well deserved recompense is SODOMY!
Those who corrupt God and have a vile affection for lifeless images and idols, those who make and bow down to corrupt man-made images, are given over to like vile affections! Sodomy is a vile affection, is it not? It is vile, filthy, perverted, detestable, and can produce neither mortal nor spiritual life! In God's eyes, so is idolatry. How better to teach man the error of so corrupting the Glorious God than to cause man to corrupt himself likewise? God is JUST! God is WISE! God's punishments fit the crime!
There's no greater way to blind oneself to any right conception of God than to make an image that can't even compare to the fallen glory of sinful man let alone represent God! There's no more sure fire way to insult God or to provoke His wrath than to reduce His Glorious body into that of a filthy, man-made, lifeless image of any kind, man or bird or beast or creeping thing, which is done by every false religion on earth, especially the Roman Catholic religion. And for those who do this, those who have a vile affection for man-made perversions of God, God issues to them a Divine Recompense that is "meet" (suitable, like for like), a punishment that is a perfect mirror image of the crime of idolatry! Those who corrupt God, the Creator of all Heaven and Earth, by reducing Him to a filthy man-made image, are likewise reduced to corrupting their own bodies! Sodomy! Both male and female! The punishment perfectly fits the crime. Sodomy is a perfect mirror image punishment for idolatry. That's how we know it is a Divine Recompense. In the punishment itself, we can see the very crime that was committed to warrant it. In the Divine Recompense we can see the wisdom of God that no man can duplicate for lack of God's wisdom. "...and receiving in themselves that recompense (Divine judgment) for their error, which was MEET (perfectly suited, like for like, instructive).
Until our "civilized" age, most people instantly recognized Sodomy as most repulsive, filthy, reprehensible if not disgustingly unnatural. Why, common sense tells us that if Sodomy prevails, mankind would cease to exist. This is exactly how God views idolatry. So, why did not man search the scriptures to discover its cause? Why not the priests of Rome, the self-professed Divine Right interpreters of God's Word, the priests who are most plagued by Sodomy? Certainly, if Sodomy is wicked, God would tell us why? And HE DID! Romans chapter one! But it also tells us that idolatry and Sodomy has a cause/effect relationship. But idolatrous man doesn't want to hear what God has to say about idolatry or Sodomy. So idolators keep worshiping men and idols and images and then teach everybody that Sodomy is merely an alternative lifestyle and that it is wrong to judge or condemn those who "express their sexuality this way," just as it is wrong to judge and condemn those who express their religion by worshiping idols! Now, just like idolatry, Sodomy is no longer regarded a sin in the world, even among the idolatrous Roman priesthood. This is the same state of affairs that existed in Sodom before its destruction. So what is God now to do but to destroy the idolators, the Sodomites, with fire and brimstone just the way He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah? If mankind is now ready to accept Sodomy merely as an alternative lifestyle and not a judgment of God, as they did in Sodom, what hope is there that man will ever view Sodomy as a correction from idolatry? If man can't or won't comprehend that Sodomy is a Divine Recompense for the even greater sin of idolatry, what hope is there that our generation will ever repent of idolatry?
How many people read Romans chapter one and never comprehend its plain English meaning? How many priests? Because man, especially the Sodomite priests of Rome who claim exclusive prerogative to interpret the scriptures, simply cannot and will not view idolatry from God's perspective, nor can they see in Sodomy a Divine mirror image punishment of idolatry. Man simply cannot understand plain English when it expresses God's righteous and instructive hatred for idolatry. Man, especially the "priests," simply will not give up idolatry, even after reading example after example after example of God's wrath being meted out to every generation of idolators, and especially upon those who called themselves, "God's people"! Dare I ask you now what the REAL sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was and why God destroyed them so violently as an example for future generations?
I'll spell it out because I will leave nothing to chance! The REAL sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was IDOLATRY. Sodom and Gomorrah were ancient cities built by Nimrod, the first postdiluvian god/man that was worshiped by men, just as the Pope is worshiped today. Sodom and Gomorrah were sister cities of Babel, Nineveh (which worshiped the fish god, Dagon but repented and was spared for a time because of Jonah who, being vomited by the great fish, warned them to repent of their idolatry), Accad, Erech, and Calneh in the land of Shinar (Gen 10:10) These were all idolatrous cities who made images and idols to Nimrod, their "builder" (don't forget this because Freemasonry calls themselves, "The Builders"), who was later known as the sun god, Baal.
The ancient ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah have been positively found, exactly where they are told to be in the scriptures, hidden in plain sight right along the road bordering the Dead Sea. In these ancient ruins are clearly seen the remnants of the idols that they worshiped. And also burned into the stones of the city are found nuggets of pure sulfur that burns to this day when lit. They're everywhere and cannot be mistaken for anything but what they are, the positive remnants of God's judgment! http://www.arkdiscovery.com/sodom_&_gomorrah.htm. Because Sodom and Gomorrah would not repent of their idolatry, God struck them with His Divine Recompense to teach them the error of their idolatry and caused them to corrupt their own bodies just as they corrupted God's body by their filthy lifeless idols! Instead of repenting of idolatry, the Divine Recompense for idolatry, Sodomy, ran openly and rampantly in the streets. And Sodomites, instead of seeing in their unnatural affliction a recompense for their unnatural affection for idols and repenting of idolatry, simply mainstreamed their sexual malady instead of taking the cure, just like the world is doing today! When they either wouldn't or couldn't comprehend the unnatural, filthy, vile, perversion of their own unnatural affections and continued to worship idols and corrupt their own bodies likewise, there was no hope that they'd ever comprehend how wickedly perverted God perceived their idolatry. The only thing left for God to do was to destroy them, and to do it in such a way that the world would never forget!
And who is responsible for not teaching us these historical and biblical truths? Who hid this knowledge from us? Who is more responsible than the idolatrous Sodomite priests of Rome who forbid on pain of excommunication and charges of heresy any man who departs or who deviates from their teaching!
But in the Roman Catholic Cult, the priests are Sodomites. Why? Because they have the exact same unnatural affection for idols, for corrupting God's Glory and reducing Him to images made like to corruptible man just as did the men of Sodom! And they also worship a man who calls himself God, just like Nimrod. But who would ever dare suggest that they too ought to break down their images and idols? NONE! Who would dare suggest that the Pope is an idol, a modern-day equivalent to Nimrod? NONE! So Sodomy runs openly and rampantly through the priesthood of Rome, just as it did in Sodom, and for the exact same reasons. And just like the idolators of Sodom before them, no repentance is in store for the Roman priests, either for idolatry or for Sodomy. Instead, Rome defends their idolatry and then covers up for their Sodomites and makes pious pleas for forgiveness and reconciliation to her innumerable, under-age, same sex victims with whom they have corrupted their own bodies just like they corrupt God's through their idols. Now our entire generation seeks to mainstream Sodomy exactly like it was mainstreamed in Sodom just before her final destruction. Sodomy is so protected today that you can go to any online Bible dictionary and you will not even find the word, Sodomy, listed. If you do, it will not have a definition. It will be blank. It is no longer acceptable to define or condemn Sodomy by "Christians." To do so is to condemn Catholicism!
When Israel fell into idolatry, is it any wonder that God likened Jerusalem to Sodom and Egypt? What did Jerusalem have in common with Sodom and Egypt? IDOLATRY! The idolatry of Egypt is renown and visible even to this day. Now that Sodom and Gomorrah have been discovered with brimstone and the ruins of idols lying in heaps everywhere, who can doubt! And who can doubt that Rome stands as the modern day Sodom and Egypt! One Catholic writer recently wrote that the Catholic Church is the new Israel. He's absolutely correct, but for the wrong reason. The only thing the Catholic Church has in common with Israel is when Israel fell into idolatry. Also in common is her sacrificing priesthood who reject the Commandments of God so that they can keep their own laws and traditions and offer man-made sacrifices instead of accepting the one-time all-sufficient blood sacrifice of Christ. They have their rich, elaborate temples and rituals when God is no longer worshiped in temples made with hands or by man-made rituals. Indeed, Rome is the new Israel, but not the Godly, obedient Israel, but the wicked idolatrous Israel whom God judged!
Only when one comprehends what idolatry is in God's eyes can one comprehend what Sodomy is or how to remedy it. Until then, Rome's idolatrous priests WILL REMAIN SODOMITES! Celibacy has NOTHING to do with it! If allowed to marry, their unnatural affections won't go away! They will continue to defile their own bodies with men, boys, and other Sodomite priests until they break down their idols and repent of idolatry and quit corrupting God with their idols! No other message can be taken from Romans chapter one than this! Yet the world amazingly and simply can't explain, diagnose, treat, or cure Sodomy! Why? Because they won't read God's Book or obey His commandments and begin to see idolatry for the corruption that it is. And no one is more stubborn than the priests of Rome! And Catholics are at a loss to explain why their priesthood has forever been plagued by Sodomy because they too don't read God's Book or keep His Commandments, especially not the commandment forbidding idolatry, the second commandment. Not knowing God's second commandment forbidding idolatry and not seeing what idolatry is in God's eyes, neither do they understanding what Sodomy is, a Divine Recompense for the sin of idolatry. Therefore, they erroneously and ignorantly blame priestly Sodomy on celibacy and chastity when the priests and the popes have never been celibate or chaste despite their vows; multitudes of them having wives and concubines openly and secretly! Even then, Sodomy was still practiced by them as attested to by numberless Roman Catholic historians and monks and nuns and other chroniclers of the Church!
Sodomy among the Papacy and the priesthood is as old as the practice of idolatry in the Roman Church, and that idolatry was passed down to it from pagan Rome. In other words, Sodomy is as old as the Roman Church itself. Sodomy has always been Rome's characteristic scourge and will continue to be its scourge as long as idolatry is practiced, whether the Popes and priests are allowed to marry or not! FULL STOP! And pedophilia is just a way to practice that Sodomite scourge with someone who can be threatened into silence and who is unlikely to blackmail the black robes and sue the church for its wealth and assets! But glory to God, some of these kids are finding the courage to expose what has forever been largely hidden to the unsuspecting world. God grant them even more courage. May He also grant them courage to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth and not after the idolatrous ways of the Roman Church in which they were debauched!
All that being said, contrary to the common beliefs of many liberal and conservative Catholics, priestly chastity and celibacy have absolutely NOTHING to do with Sodomy! There is NO cause/effect relationship between chastity/celibacy and Sodomy.
Paul was chaste. But he was NOT a Sodomite. Paul was NOT a Sodomite because he was NOT an idolator. Paul was not an idolator because Paul bowed down ONLY to the living God of Creation. Therefore, Paul was immune from the plague of Sodomy, unlike the idolatrous priests of Rome. Paul preached AGAINST idolatry in every form, especially bowing down to other sinful men. When men bowed down to Paul, Paul ripped his own clothes in horrified grief and rebuked them immediately and told them to bow down to God only! Do you think it only a coincidence that this episode occurred in Rome? Paul would not even bow down to Caesar who had the power to remove his head, which eventually did happen. Paul was NOT CATHOLIC and he suffered NONE of Rome's plagues! He died a martyr of Christ just like the millions after him who for 2000 years have rejected Pontifex Maximus, his priests, and his idols.
By the Church of Rome's own official published teaching, the Pope is Caesar (Pontifex Maximus) and has all the power of Caesar (temporal and spiritual power). Just like Caesar, the Pope, who calls himself, "Pontifex Maximus," "Supreme Pontiff" and other blasphemous names, also claims to be the god/man...priest/king...King of kings and Lord of lords....God on Earth! And like Caesar, he too blasphemously commands that men bow down to him in idolatrous adoration, especially his bishops and priests and the kings of this world over whom he rules. And those who bow down to them and obey them are justly plagued with the Divine Recompense of Romans chapter one, SODOMY! Is it any wonder that there are so many Sodomites in Washington DC, in the highest offices in our land? Washington DC, where the Popes and priests of Rome wield their most power and influence! Wherever one finds idolatry, one also finds Sodomy. Wherever one finds Sodomy, one also finds idolatry. Its a cause/effect relationship. Washington DC, the priestly and Sodomite capital of this once Protestant land! Washington DC, the Idolatry capital of America!
Any infant child of God who is old enough to read and reason, who has never been corrupted by the churches, could read Romans chapter one and explain exactly why Sodomy especially plagues the Roman priesthood. And if you will just read that chapter, particularly those verses given above, with the unpolluted eyes of a child, as if reading it for the very first time, not having been corrupted by Rome's teaching, then you will see it too.
Allowing the priests to marry is NO remedy for priestly Sodomy! And Rome dare not allow her Sodomite priests to marry, or this assertion will be proved to the whole world.
The remedy for Sodomy is NOT castration either! Typical of the "earthy" counterfeit church that she is, Rome seeks an earthy remedy for a spiritual malady! Idolatry is a spiritual malady. So is Sodomy. Both require a spiritual remedy, not an earthy one. The remedy for Sodomy is NOT castration, or marriage, but to REPENT of idolatry by breaking down all images and idols and stop bowing down to sinful wicked men and worship God ONLY! This is what celibate Paul taught. Yes, he also taught that it is better to marry than to burn with lust. But he was talking about Godly men and women marrying, not Sodomites!
Idolatry is a spiritual corruption. Your priests teach the opposite. Your church teaches the opposite. Catholics practice the opposite. And neither you nor your Catholic children or grandchildren or great grandchildren are immune from God's Divine Recompense for idolatry (Sodomy) any more than are the Roman priests, because God visits the iniquity of idolators unto the third and fourth generation of idolators; so saith God in the second commandment, Exodus 20:4-6, the very commandment that your popes and your priests and your church blasphemously removed from God's Holy, Eternal, and Immutable Law as if they had the power or the authority to do so!
You have no excuse any longer to be in a quandary about Sodomy among the priesthood of the idolatrous Roman church! The priests are Sodomites because they are idolators and they teach others to be idolators! Pedophilia is only a way to satisfy their unnatural, vile, Sodomite affections upon those who can be threatened into silence and are unlikely to blackmail the priests or sue the church; Children! Your clinical terms and distinctions ("ephebophilia") and hair-splitting (venial vs. mortal) only cloud your mind, which they are intended to do. And you are prone to do this because you've been taught all your Catholic life to value sinful, wicked men's wisdom and teachings and traditions over that of God's wisdom and teachings and to engage in Jesuitical casuistry, sophistry, equivocation, deception, and evasion when accused or questioned about your antichrist beliefs and practices. This is the very definition of Catholicism! Replacing God and His teachings with that of sinful, wicked men!; mere men so vile and wicked that they would claim even to be God's replacements, "alter Christos" on the earth!
And before you even make the claim that Sodomy is not exclusive to the Roman Cult and that it is also becoming a scourge in the Ecu-Maniacal Evanjellybelly churches, I will answer that there are becoming more and more idolators within those churches! And what idol do they worship? The same blasphemous one that the Romans worship.... "Alter Christos," the "Vicar of Christ," "Caesar," the "Man of Sin," the "Judas Priest who betrays Christ with a kiss and who sells Him as though He were a mere slave of his," the Biblical and historical "Antichrist," the POPE OF ROME! The longer the Pope's Ecumenical Movement continues to deceive and to lure blind, deaf, and spiritually dumb Evanjellybellies back into the arms of the idolatrous Roman Antichrist, the more and more Sodomy will become a scourge in the Evenjellybelly churches. God is no respecter of persons and the Divine Recompense of Sodomy will likewise plague the Evanjellybelly churches over time. I predict that, before long, Rome will point her wicked finger at the Evanjellybelly churches and condemn their Sodomy to distract the world from her own most ancient plague.
The "Harlot Daughters" of Revelation 17 (those churches who were born of Rome) are now coming of age and their Roman heritage is now exposed! Like most daughters, as they age, they begin more and more to take on the spitting image of their Mother! Nowadays one can barely tell them apart! In my sister's Evanjellybelly church, the pastor comes to the Sunday pulpit wearing a Paper Mache Bishop's miter (the funky fish-head hat complete with tails) and teaches that the communion bread is called, "The Eucharist." No doubt eventually he'll begin to teach that the "Eucharist" is "the body of Christ" and "a sacrifice" and that it is to be bowed down to and worshiped as Christ and to be offered again and again on the alter! That requires that he also teach Transubstantiation! He also teaches about 40 days of Lent, which is in fact the same 40 days of lamentation (weeping) for the slain pagan god Tammuz spoken of in Ezekiel chapter 8 for which the Israelites were guilty! Soon they will begin to teach a veneration for "Mary" as "Queen of Heaven" and to conduct monotonous communal repetitious prayers and rosaries as though God were as deaf and dumb as their idols, and the recital of certain Catholic Church "Creeds" and liturgies as does the apostate, Ecumenical, Romanized, Jesuitized, Church of England, which has effectively repudiated the Protestant Reformation, Christ, and His Holy Word.
I predicted these abominations over a decade ago after finally comprehending what the Roman Catholic Church was all about and what the Ecumenical Movement was all about! I will have no ecumenical union with idolators and blasphemers and Sodomites, nor will I suffer their plagues. I've come out of those idolatrous churches just as you should come out of "HOLY MOTHER CHURCH," XXXXXXX!
This entire email should explain to you in vivid and understandable and common sense terms why the Bible specifically states that God's judgement begins in the house of God! Get out before that judgement falls, XXXXXXX! Look how many times God smote Israel for practicing the abominations of the heathens: idolatry and baking cakes to the "Queen of Heaven"!; the same abominations committed by Rome! What difference in God's eyes does it make if the idolatrous Israelites bowed down to a golden calf and obelisks (groves) and other such idols, and idolatrous "Christians" today bowing down to men and to a piece of bread!!! And what prey tell is that abomination standing erect in the middle of St. Peter's Piazza? If God did not spare Israel for these abominations, what hope does the Roman church have? What hope do the Ecu-Maniacal Evanjellybelly churches have that are reuniting with Rome? NONE!
You say rightly that you "might no longer be able to call myself Catholic." But don't be deceived to think that you can jump out of the Roman Catholic fire by jumping into the Ecu-Maniacal Evanjellybelly or the Ecu-Maniacal Orthodox frying pan as so many Catholics are doing these days! In the Name of Christ, XXXXXXX, learn to worship the God one cannot see with his mortal eyes and live to tell about it! Learn to worship the Living God who cannot be worshiped through deaf, dumb and dead images and idols and priestly or matronly mediators! Learn to worship the God who can only be worshiped directly, in Spirit and in Truth, and whose only mediator is the man, Christ Jesus! Get His Book, the Authorized King James Bible and read and learn about Him and worship Him ONLY so that you are not consumed by the brightness of His soon appearing! The Harlot Daughters are going home to "Mother Church;" they're going back to Sodom and Egypt; they're going back to ROME! They are no longer any refuge for a true man of God any more than is the Roman Catholic Cult! Abandon the teachings and traditions of men because they will all be found to be LIARS when the Light of Life returns!
I end right where I began. Where was the Pope or his priests when the foundations of the earth were laid, and when the sun and the stars began to shine, and when God created man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and made him a living soul? For the love of Almighty God, XXXXXXX, repent! You're far too intelligent to believe such childish lies as Rome teaches. There's no man on this earth who can forgive your sins or mine! If we confess our sins to men, we will DIE IN OUR SINS! God has a law: Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. Where is the blood in your bloodless Eucharistic sacrifice? Christ shed His own blood so that we might be washed in it. What pope ever lost a drop of blood for God's people? The only blood that has been shed by the Popes of Rome is the blood of the millions of Saints and the Martyrs of Jesus. Christ said to suffer the little children to come to HIM, NOT the Pope! Christ warned those who would harm an innocent child saying that it would be better for them if a millstone were tied about their necks and cast into the sea. Where does that put your Sodomite priests, XXXXXXX? The All Holy God of Creation is trying to tell us ALL something so obvious by exposing the Sodomy and pedophilia of those who call themselves "alter Christos" and this sin-sick world calls "Holy"! Be converted to CHRIST and Him ONLY! Seeing is NOT believing, XXXXXXX. We are not allowed to see Him. And if we did, in our mortal flesh, see Him in His glory, we would be consumed! Count all men as LIARS, including ME!; but especially those who call themselves "priests"! No man is infallible! God clearly said He gives His Glory to NO MAN! The wisdom of this world is FOOLISHNESS to God! And who are those in this sin-sick world who count themselves to be the most wise but the Popes and priests of Rome! Thinking themselves wise, they became FOOLS and changed the Glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like unto corruptible man and birds and four footed beasts and creeping things! Your Popes and priests are FOOLS, XXXXXXX. And the fall of the Ecu-Maniacal Evanjellybelly and Orthodox churches is due to nothing else but their rejection of Christ in exchange for the "wisdom" of the idolatrous Roman priests!
There is liberty and peace and assurance of salvation in Christ alone, XXXXXXX. Claim it as do I. By faith believing! "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things NOT SEEN!" Where does that leave your "visible church" and its "visible head"? NOWHERE! "For by Grace are ye saved through faith, and not of yourselves. It is a gift of God, not of works (sacraments) lest any man (or priest) should boast!" God said salvation is a GIFT, received by faith alone. If it is to be earned by works (sacraments), then it is NOT a gift at all but must be earned, thus enabling man to boast! This is the boast of Rome, XXXXXXX!
Contrary to teachings of the Popes, they are NOT of the Order of Melchizedek! The Order of Melchizedek is an eternal (immortal) priesthood, XXXXXXX. There are NO mortal priests in that Order. There is but ONE HIGH PRIEST after the immortal, eternal Order of Melchizedek, Christ Jesus. He stands ALONE at the right hand of the Throne of God making intercession for you if you will just receive Him and confess directly and privately to Him and reject His diabolical, earthy, Popish counterfeit and his priests.
Contrary to the wicked teachings of men, The Kingdom of Christ is invisible. And so is its Heavenly Head. But only for a little while longer. The members of His Kingdom will soon be revealed to the whole world when the Light of Life returns and not until! At His return, the whole world will then know in an instant who truly served Him and worshiped Him. Paraphrasing: For, the dead in CHRIST (those who have died in Christ, not in the Pope) will rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and we shall be like Him, bright and shining like the sun, just like Moses! We shall see Christ as He is, in all His Glory, for we shall be just like Him. Our darkened, mortal, sinful bodies will then be like His Glorious, Immortal, Sinless body, bright, shining as the sun! It will be at this very moment that every idolator the world over will finally comprehend, as did Moses, just how foolish and wicked and abominable and woefully inadequate are all their man-made images and idols! At this very instant the whole idolatrous world will finally comprehend the rage of Moses when he came down from witnessing the muted Glory of God to find his people worshiping a filthy man-made golden calf that could do nothing but insult God and blind the people. The Popes and the priests of Rome will have no part in this resurrection because no idolator or Sodomite will be allowed to enter the Kingdom of Christ.
Break down your images and idols, XXXXXXX! Don't wait until that day to be ashamed and appalled at them and at yourself. Don't wait till then to discover that the Pope is no replacement of Christ on earth! Don't wait till then to learn that you've served in the Church of Antichrist all your life! I came out of the idolatrous Evanjellybelly churches. How much more should you come out of their Whorish Romish Mother Church! Get a copy of Dr. Loraine Boettner's book, "Roman Catholicism" and read it yourself. Contact Richard Bennett, a Reformed Irish Roman Catholic Priest and former Dominican monk who was trained by the Jesuits at the Gregorian University in Rome, now gloriously saved by grace alone, through faith alone, by the blood of Christ ALONE, a sweet and gentle and blessed man who dedicates his entire ministry charitably to Roman Catholics. Read his website, www.bereanbeacon.org. Watch all his videos on Youtube. He's got a different style than me; one that you may find far more palatable than mine. I'm still angered by the betrayal of my churches and my pastors, and by the attacks and assaults and threats and jamming by amateur radio operators, Catholics and Freemasons mostly, who did everything in their power for ten long years, fair or foul (mostly foul), to get me off the air. But don't expect him to be a pushover. He's more Protestant than I am. And he's been to one of the best Roman Catholic University there is. He's more knowledgeable about Catholicism than both of us and you can't nit pick him at all.
Throw off the shackles of Rome and what passes for "Christianity" today and stand fast in the Liberty wherein Christ and Him Alone has made us FREE!
A man's God is not determined by what church he goes to or by what God he merely professes with his mouth. A man's God is ONLY determined by who he obeys! Forsake the man-made cult of Rome and its laws and traditions. Forsake your idols! Worship God and keep His commandments. ALL of them! That's the whole duty of man!
The Pedophile Priest Pandemic in the world is screaming to you, XXXXXXX! It is God's way of showing you and the whole world the idolatrous error of the Roman Church! GET OUT! In the Name of Christ, the ONLY priest in Heaven and Earth!
What sense is there in nit-picking about "venial vs. mortal" sin (a mere priestly invention; a distinction that is explicitly repudiated by the Word of Almighty God), when your priests have NO AUTHORITY whatsoever to define sin, or to hear confessions, or to forgive ANY sin? Again, how could a man like you strain at a gnat when there's an elephant standing on your neck! How can a man like you use such a trivial and contrived and non-existent distinction as any kind of argument while ignoring Mt. Everest looming above you! How is it that you feel justified to nit-pick over "venial vs. mortal" and never even attempt to address the MULTITUDE of inexplicable and monstrous atrocities committed by your Popes and priests and the "church" as a whole? If someone was proving to me by a mountain of direct evidence that my Mother is a Whore, what good would it do in her defense for me to trivially argue that she used Crisco (venial) instead of bacon fat (mortal) to fry her eggs in the morning! Good grief, XXXXXXX! If I responded the way you do, you'd say I was in denial.
Your Mother Church is a Whore, XXXXXXX. The Scarlet Harlot of Revelation 17. The Biblical and historical evidence to the truth of this assertion is overwhelming and I enumerate them every day on Inquisition Update and every night on amateur radio. I've got her little black book with all her clients' names and phone numbers written in her own handwriting! Her clients openly confess that she's the biggest, the wealthiest, the most beautiful, the most alluring, and most desirable Whore in town. Don't try defending her as a virgin by arguing that she uses Crisco instead of bacon fat to fry her eggs in the morning! Venial vs. Mortal my eye!
Your "minor but important correction" is MOOT. The priests are NOT PRIESTS AT ALL, NOR CAN THEY FORGIVE SIN, VENIAL OR MORTAL, A DISTINCTION OF THEIR OWN INVENTION!!!
And if you find some little hitch in my "gitalong" anywhere in this email response, don't think for a minute that I'll allow you to use that "minor correction" to dismiss the salient bulk of it. Address the elephant standing on your neck or don't waste any more of my time.
Respectfully, though maybe not so sugar coated as you would like,
Tom Friess,
Inquisition Update
