What is the difference between Catholic and Christian doctrine?

To anyone who is willing to hear, greetings.

The purpose of this writing is to make clear the doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
doctrine taught by God in his Word, versus the doctrines and teachings of the Roman Catholic
Church, many of which have nothing to do with God or his Son Jesus Christ and are completely
contrary to the word of God.

I will start with explaining the doctrine of Christ, according to God’s word. First, the
Bible says there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1
Timothy 2:5). Jesus also said of himself, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6). This means there is one God, the Holy One of Israel, who
made the heavens and the earth. This also means that God has one begotten Son, named Jesus,
who is the propitiation for our sins and the only way to the Father.

He, being the only begotten Son of God, is not only sinless, but is also that great Prophet, Messiah, and Rabbi spoken of all
throughout the Old Testament by the Jewish prophets, such as Moses, David, Isaiah, etc. The
reason why Jesus is sinless is because his blood did not come from Adam, but from God. Jesus is
called both the Son of God and Son of man in God’s word, meaning he is a man, whose mother
is a woman (Mary), and whose Father is God.

God, who is the Father Almighty, is described as the Holy One of Israel, and Jesus said God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). Putting two and two together, we get that God is also the
Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit mentioned all throughout the Old and New Testaments. According to
God’s word, the Holy Ghost is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:18, 20;
Luke 1:35). When Jesus was 30 years old, he went down to the Jordan River to be baptized under
John the Baptist, and when that happened, God sent forth his Spirit, and it abode on him (John
1:32), and from that point forward, God was in Christ, God was manifest in the flesh, and in him
[Christ] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily (2 Corinthians 5:19, 1 Timothy 3:16,
Colossians 2:9).

 

Because these things happened, Jesus the Son of God could be accurately referred to as Lord, as all power was given to him in heaven and in earth by his Father (Matthew 28:18), and as God, because God was in him and he is the image of the invisible God.

Jesus the Son of God is called by that name because that’s his Father’s name, as there is one name
pertaining unto the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19), and that name is
Jesus Christ, as that’s his Father’s name, for Jesus said I am come in my Father’s name (John
5:43).

Jesus Christ is the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Very importantly, Jesus said Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God (John 3:5). The prophet Joel also spoke of those calling on the
name of the Lord being delivered or saved. According to the apostle Peter, the way to do so is the
following:

“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you,
and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call”
(Acts 2:38-39)

This means water baptism in the name of Jesus is how someone is born of water,
and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, which will cause recipients to speak with other tongues and prophesy (Acts 2, 10, 19; Mark 16:17), is how someone is born of the Spirit, and these together is how someone calls on the name of the Lord to be saved.

This is why I got re-baptized in the name of Jesus Christ on Tuesday, January 14, 2025.

This is the doctrine and gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to God’s word.

Now, I will discuss some of the numerous errors with the Roman Catholic doctrines,
which are vastly different than what God teaches us in his Word. The most widespread and
poisonous of these errors is the doctrine of the trinity, which asserts, contrary to God’s word, that
God is not one Lord, but “three persons in one God, each distinct one from another, but each
equally God”. So, common sense tells us that if there are three distinct persons who are each
equally God, then those three persons are three Gods, as 100% + 100% + 100% = 300%, not
100%. These three Gods are called God the Father (the true God of Israel), “God the Son”, and
“God the Holy Spirit”.

“God the Son” and “God the Holy Spirit” both DO NOT EXIST.

The Bible says that Jesus is the SON OF GOD, not GOD THE SON. Mary did not give birth to God,
so “Mary the mother of God” is a ridiculous concept that makes ZERO sense, as God is eternal
with no beginning or end.

We see the devil twisting words and phrases backwards like this from
the very beginning. In Genesis 3, Eve said God hath said, but the serpent (Satan) said Yea, hath
God said? Many trinitarian pastors will pretend that Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7 profess a
trinity of Gods, but this is far from the truth. Matthew 28:19 speaks of one name pertaining to the
Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and Acts 2:38 reveals that name as Jesus. “Father” and
“Holy Ghost” are two titles that belong to the same God, because God, who is the Holy Spirit, is
a Father as he has a begotten Son, and the Son refers to the Son of God. As for 1 John 5:7, there
are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three
are one. These are three titles that all belong to the same God, this is not speaking of any trinity.
The Father is God, the Word is God (John 1:1), and the Holy Ghost is also God.

 

John 1:1 does not say the Word is the Son, or the Word is another person, but that the Word is God.

Isaiah wrote by the Holy Ghost, Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the
womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that
spreadeth abroad the earth by myself (Isaiah 44:24). So, the Word refers to God’s own words,
not another person who was with God in the beginning.

Okay, I think that’s quite a mouthful for the trinity nonsense. Let’s move on to another
grave error: the concept of “Good Friday” and “Easter Sunday”. The Roman Catholic Church
and all of her Protestant daughters LOVE to pretend that Jesus somehow died on Good Friday
and rose from the dead on Easter Sunday, which makes zero mathematical sense, as Jesus said
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be
three days and three nights in the heart of the earth (Matthew 12:40). Friday afternoon to
Sunday morning is NOT three days and three nights. In addition, the word of God teaches that
Jesus was crucified for our sins on the day of the Passover, as the Jews therefore, because it was
the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that
sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away (John 19:31). This particular sabbath was not the weekly sabbath, but the day after the Passover, the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, meaning Jesus was crucified on the Passover.

The next error of the Roman Catholic Church I want to go over is the act of having a
crucifix. God commanded by Moses in the Torah, Thou shalt not make 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
waters beneath the earth (Deuteronomy 5:8). A graven image is an object of worship carved from
wood or stone or any like material. Given the fact that our Lord Jesus Christ is seated on the right
hand of God in heaven, the act of kneeling down in the Catholic Church in the presence of a
crucifix, a graven depiction of our Lord still on a cross, is utter blasphemy. Our Lord Jesus
Christ is NOT still on a cross, and no one truly knows what he looks like either, so the act of
carrying a crucifix through the congregation at the beginning of the service, and holding it up for
everyone to see, is completely abominable in the sight of God.

The next one I want to go over is which English version of the Holy Bible is actually
God’s word. For those of us who are born of the incorruptible seed (1 Peter 1:23), we know in
our hearts that the Holy Bible, King James Version is the true word of God in the English
language. In the case that there are readers of this letter who are not born of that seed, I will go
over a few key differences between the KJV and some other English bibles. I will start with John
1:1-3:

The KJV says,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without
him was not any thing made that was made (John 1:1-3).

The New International Version says,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with
God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that
has been made (John 1:1-3 NIV).

Considering the words of the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 44:24, we know FOR SURE that there was NO OTHER PERSON with God when he created the heaven and the earth. For the NIV to say “He was with God in the beginning” is to flat-out lie, for that is in direct contradiction to what Isaiah said by the Holy Ghost. Also, the words of Isaiah debunk
what the NIV says about God making things through another person. God didn’t make anything
through anyone; he made everything by himself. The KJV accurately uses the gender-neutral
phrase “The same” to describe God’s words, and also correctly says that all things were made by
him, meaning God made all things by his word, as he spoke everything into existence in the
beginning. The New American Standard Bible, The English Standard Version, and many others
contain this same grave error, and these “New Age” bibles, for that reason, have greatly deceived
many people in the Catholic and Protestant Churches into believing that God is a trinity because
there was someone with him in the beginning, which is not true, according to what God said by
the mouth of Isaiah the prophet.

 

Another key difference pertains to marriage. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that unless an intimate act between a husband and wife allows for conception, it is sin. First of all, the disciple of Jesus Christ, John, wrote by the Holy Ghost,
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4).

So, we know by this that unless God himself forbade a man and his wife from
doing certain things together in their marriage bed, then they are free to do whatever they wish,
and they do not sin. And, for your information, the Holy Bible says NOWHERE that a man and
his wife are forbidden from doing ANY intimate act together (unless of course such things would
result in either person being harmed, as that would break God’s law). In addition, the writer of
Hebrews wrote, Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and
adulterers God will judge (Hebrews 13:4). This means that no matter what a man and his wife do
in their bedroom, their bed is UNDEFILED, PERIOD. Only whoredom or adultery can defile the
marriage bed. Now, of course, the false “New Age” bibles do not say this, but indeed say, for
example, Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will
judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral (Hebrews 13:4 NIV). Is that what the writer of
Hebrews wrote? Of course not. These two statements do not say the same thing at all. No wonder
adultery and divorce are so prevalent! A lot of married people don’t understand that they
seriously are permitted and encouraged by God to do anything they wish during intimacy:
whatever will fully satisfy them. Also, I would have you know, readers, in case you did not
notice, that I don’t ever put a ‘KJV’ citation when citing scripture from the word of God, and that
is because the KJV is public domain, but the other “New Age” bibles are copyrighted novels,
meaning they can’t possibly be God’s word as no man owns God’s word. As for the UK, the
Crown, by the Cambridge University Press, does claim to have copyright over the KJV, but it is
not a legitimate de jure copyright. It is purely de facto. The copyrights on the other bibles such as
the NIV, however, are de jure, and were given to those authors legitimately as they are original
works, different enough from the KJV.

So, why are errors like these so widespread in the churches today, many of which are
considered “Orthodox Christian Doctrine”? Well, the pastors and teachers that teach these
doctrines attended schools called “Seminaries” to learn how to pastor. These institutions are not
of God. Jesus commanded ZERO of his disciples to attend seminary before ministry. In fact,
Jesus sent the twelve with the Holy Ghost to guide them. He said If ye continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free
(John 8:31-32). It is now clear why Jesus also said Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it (Matthew 7:14). We can indeed conclude that the
word of God and the Roman Catholic Church and her Protestant daughters teach COMPLETELY
different doctrines. God desires you to come out of the darkness, and into the light, for it is your
Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom (Luke 12:32), but he can’t force you to.

Peace to you all.
