Why Catholicism is Anti-Christ
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Catholicism is anti-Christ because it takes the things of God and perverts them."

1:17 J. Vernon McGee ).

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "...[A]men to all of those Scriptures, which teach Catholic doctrine..."
Amen means we agree. We do not.
You will have more credibility when you acknowledge the divide between
Roman Catholics and Protestants.

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "I agreed with all the Scriptures you quoted from the N.T. Canon, which has no historic source besides the Catholic Church."
Your claim is false. Adam was saved (not by the
Roman Catholic Church) but by grace through faith (Gen.
3:15). Abram was saved (not by the
Roman Catholic Church) but by grace through faith (Gen.
12:13). Men have always been saved the
same way--by grace through faith (Eph.
2:5,
8). It is Jesus
(not the Roman Catholic Church) who saves (Acts
4:12). Jesus (not the Roman Catholic
Church) is the author of our salvation.
An "amen" is for Christians (Eph
1:23;
Col 1:24) who
believe this (Ac
20:28;
Eph 5:25;
Heb 9:12). You
reject the gospel of Jesus Christ (Ac
14:3;
20:32).
Catholics have a different Jesus, a different gospel and a different way of salvation. Understand what scripture teaches.

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "...[A]men to all the Scriptures you quoted, but not to the oral traditions you give which are false..."
"...It is to the Scriptures that the church is commended in order to combat the error that was bound to come (Acts 20:32). Likewise, it was the written word that was seen in the Old Testament as the source of truth upon which to base ones life (Joshua 1:8; Deuteronomy 17:18-19; Psalm 1; Psalm 19:7-11; 119; etc.). Jesus said that one of the reasons that the Sadducees were in error concerning the resurrection is that they did not know the Scriptures (Mark 12:24).
...Infallibility is never stated as the possession
of those who would become church leaders in succession of the
apostles..." Full text: Should Catholic tradition have equal or
