In the 21st century, many self-described evangelical leaders offer responses to the errors of Roman Catholicism that range from silence, to abject weakness, to open embrace of its un-Biblical positions. When confronted with vital opportunities to declare the vast differences between Roman Catholicism and authentic Biblical Christianity, they instead sow seeds of confusion and compromise. Our Lord commands us to preach clarity instead of confusion and Biblical separation instead of compromise. The distinctions between Roman Catholicism and authentic Biblical Christianity are not sliding-scale shades of difference. They mark an unbridgeable gulf between Christ and Antichrist, truth and error, Heaven and Hell. Here we examine these vast differences by comparing approved Vatican sources (which bear its claim of infallibility) with the Word of God. May the Lord, as He has promised, use His inerrant Word to accomplish the purpose for which He has sent it (Isaiah 55:11). http://www.teachingtheword.org There is nothing wrong, and everything right, about an individual who received Roman Catholic baptism being "re-baptized" in the Biblical manner. http://www.teachingtheword.org/apps/articles/?articleid=265962&view=post&blogid=5444 Fri, 3 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0400 The Roman Catholic church tells its people that they can use what is, in fact, a worthless currency in the courtroom of God to pay for their sins. http://www.teachingtheword.org/apps/articles/?articleid=265769&view=post&blogid=5444 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Good works do not, as Rome claims, contribute to the salvation of a soul.
