RCC: Adoration of A False Christ Increases

[Adoration of A False Christ Increases Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries] "The Congress on Eucharistic Adoration met in Rome for the purpose of encouraging people to spend more time adoring the Eucharistic Christ. Pope Benedict XVI expressed the importance of worshipping the Eucharist when he encouraged everyone to: "Fix our gaze on the holy Host: and thus on God. This is the beauty of true Christianity: The Creator and Lord of all things was made a grain of wheat in order to be sown on our earth. He was made bread to be broken, shared, eaten; he was made our food to give us his own divine life." He also declared, "The transformation of the world is in the fragile, white, consecrated host - the real presence of Jesus. The only true medicine of immortality and the certainty of being loved by God is the Eucharist."


The worship of the Eucharist has become a non-negotiable requirement for ecumenical unity. In 1965, the second Vatican Council stated, "All Christians will be gathered in a common celebration in the Eucharist, into the unity of the one and only Church. This unity subsists in the Catholic Church as something she can never lose." In 2008, Pope Benedict affirmed that requirement when he said, "The road of ecumenism ultimately points towards a common celebration of the Eucharist which would only strengthen our resolve to love and serve one another in imitation of our Lord."


The church must be warned that worshipping the Eucharist is perhaps the worst kind of idolatry. The Lord Jesus Christ said, "If anyone says to you,'Behold, here is the Christ, do not believe him, for false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect'" (
Matthew 24:23-24). According to Catholic priest John O'Brien in his book, The Faith of Millions, the priest "reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from His throne, and places Him upon our altar to be offered up again as the Victim for the sins of man. The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows his head in humble obedience to the priest's command." The priest is said to perform great signs and wonders by changing the Eucharist into "the body and blood, soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ such that the whole Christ is truly, really and substantially contained" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1374). "As the RCC pursues being the head of an ecumenical church, that this kind of idolatry, with its accompanying symbols - in this case the monstrance/Eucharist, will play a prominent role. This abstract "thing" called the Eucharist, in which "the faithful" around the world, will be able to apply whatever definition of "god" that they believe in. They have found a neutral symbol to worship. Demonically ingenious!" Jose Oller, PTG Board Member


Truly the Eucharist is a false Christ because the Bible gives precise details about the return of Christ so that no one will be deceived. We are told when, where, how and why Jesus will return. He does not return daily as a "victim for the sins of man" but "a second time, without reference to sin" (
Heb. 9:28). He will return immediately after the tribulation with power and great glory and everyone will see Him (Matthew 24:27-30). The Lord will return in a physical body to the Mount of Olives, the same way He ascended to heaven (Acts 1:11).


Evangelicals, who continue to sign unity accords with the Catholic religion, are in essence, giving their stamp of approval for the false Christ of Catholicism. They are also helping the Vatican reverse the Reformation by embracing Catholicism as a valid expression of Christianity. The end result is mass confusion. Christians don't know whether to evangelize Catholics or to unite with them to evangelize the world together. Clearly the truth must be told and people must be warned of the eternal consequences awaiting those who embrace and worship a false Christ. The following video clip exposes the deception."

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: [Fix our gaze on the holy Host: and thus on God.] "Amen!"

 

You are not to worship the true God by an image (Ex 32:4-6; Ps 106:19,20). Idolatry is hateful to God (De 16:22; Jer 44:4).

See:

No Sacrifice
Trust God (
Ps 11:1; 31:14; 2 Co 1:9) not idols (Isa 42:17; Hab 2:18).

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: [Adoration of A False Christ] "...or not..."

 

Idolatry is forbidden (Ex 20:2,3; De 5:7)--not to mention foolish (De 4:28; Ps 115:5,7, Ps 115:4-8; Isa 44:19; Jer 10:3).

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "I worship the True God as He commanded us. "Do this in remembrance of me.""

Your boasting was predicted (Ps 97:7).

"
Lk 26:26 Take, eat; this is My body. Jesus thus transformed the last Passover into the first observance of the Lord’s Supper. He is the central antitype in both ceremonies, being represented symbolically by both the paschal lamb of the Passover and the elements in the communion service. His statement, “this is My body” could not possibly have been taken in any literal sense by the disciples present that evening...

Lk 22:19 This is My body. I.e., it represented His body (cf. the words of 8:11, “The seed is the word of God”—and also v. 20). Such metaphorical language was a typical Hebraism. No eucharistic miracle of transubstantiation was implied, nor could the disciples have missed the symbolic intent of His statement, for His actual body—yet unbroken—was before their very eyes. See note on Matt. 26:26. do this. Thus He established the observance as an ordinance for worship (see notes on 1 Cor. 11:23–26). remembrance of Me. Passover had looked forward to the sacrifice of Christ; He transformed the seder into an altogether different ceremony, which looks back in remembrance at His atoning death."

Lk 22:19

"...[T]he Catholic doctrine of Christ's Real Presence in the Eucharist does not in any way involve "idolatry.""

There's no there there (1 Ki 8:27, Ro 1:21, Isa 41:24; 1 Co 8:4).

"Moving on..."

Jer 8:5, Isa 48:1

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "This is my body.  Seems pretty straightforward to me."

Wasn't he standing right before them when he said this? Ps 52:3

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]:  Fools, why worry about keeping one of the commandments when you break the rest. Clean up your own house before you point out the dirt in others.

"Cleaning house" started with Catholics themselves --many who led the Protestant Reformation (Ps 119:42, Mt 16:18).

[There's no there there (1 Ki 8:27, Ro 1:21, Isa 41:24; 1 Co 8:4).] "Is this supposed to make sense? Try again."

You removed the scripture from my quote. It is what you do (Eph 4:14).

How 'bout this one: All that glitters is not gold (
Gal. 1:6–8, 2 Co 2:17, Ga 5:9).

Response to comment [from other]: "The eucharist is baking pagan cakes to the queen of heaven....a action which was condemned in Israel by the prophet Jeremiah..."

"Je 44:17–19 queen of heaven....This is a title Roman Catholicism erroneously attributes to Mary, the mother of Jesus, in a blending of Christianity with paganism. The Jews’ twisted thinking credits the idol with the prosperity of pre-captivity Judah, further mocking the goodness of God...

Je 7:18 the queen of heaven. Cf. 44:17–19,25. The Jews were worshiping Ishtar, an Assyrian and Babylonian goddess also called Ashtoreth and Astarte, the wife of Baal or Molech. Because these deities symbolized generative power, their worship involved prostitution."
MacArthur, John Jr: The MacArthur Study Bible. electronic ed. Nashville : Word Pub., 1997, c1997, S. Je 7:18

Sort of like Catholic high school.

They trusted the word of God (Ps 119:42) . You should, too (Ps 78:22; Zep 3:2).

[You removed the scripture from my quote (Eph 4:14).] "That's okay. No one cares about your personal opinions concerning the supposed meaning of the Bible anyway..."

You vill agree vith us (Isa 1:18). Eph 4:14, Matt. 15:9

Hermeneutics

"Ro 1:18 wrath of God. This is not an impulsive outburst of anger aimed capriciously at people whom God does not like. It is the settled, determined response of a righteous God against sin (cf. Pss. 2:5, 12; 45:7; 75:8; 76:6, 7; 78:49–51; 90:7–9; Is. 51:17; Jer. 25:15, 16; John 3:36; Rom. 9:22; Eph. 5:6; Col. 3:5, 6). is revealed. More accurately, “is constantly revealed.” The word essentially means “to uncover, make visible, or make known.” God reveals His wrath in two ways: 1) indirectly, through the natural consequences of violating His universal moral law, and 2) directly through His personal intervention (the OT record—from the sentence passed on Adam and Eve to the worldwide flood, from the fire and brimstone that leveled Sodom to the Babylonian captivity—clearly displays this kind of intervention). The most graphic revelation of God’s holy wrath and hatred against sin was when He poured out divine judgment on His Son on the cross. God has various kinds of wrath: 1) eternal wrath, which is hell; 2) eschatological wrath, which is the final Day of the Lord; 3) cataclysmic wrath like the flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; 4) consequential wrath, which is the principle of sowing and reaping; and 5) the wrath of abandonment, which is removing restraint and letting people go to their sins (for examples of this wrath, see notes on Ps. 81:11, 12; Prov. 1:23–31; Hos. 4:17). Here, it is that fifth form, God’s abandoning the wicked continually through history to pursue their sin and its consequences (vv. 24–32). ungodliness. This indicates a lack of reverence for, devotion to, and worship of the true God—a defective relationship with Him (cf. Jude 14, 15).

[u]nrighteousness. This refers to the result of ungodliness: a lack of conformity in thought, word, and deed to the character and law of God (see note on 1:17). suppress the truth. Although the evidence from conscience (1:19; 2:14), creation (1:20), and God’s Word is irrefutable, men choose to resist and oppose God’s truth by holding fast to their sin (cf.
Ps. 14:1; John 3:19, 20)."
