2I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your lovingkindness and for your truth: for You have magnified your word above all your name.

Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
The following Bible passages, mainly from the New Testament, totally refute Catholic doctrines that JESUS continuously suffers and "dies" over and over every day on their "altars" and chooses so-called "victim souls" to torture and "share" his crucifixion with, inflicting wounds and pains on them to make them into human "co-saviors" who are capable of saving souls. Rather, JESUS has come to heal us, to help us, to comfort us, to give us God's light, love, joy, and peace !!!
Matthew 11: 28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Luke 4: 17And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20And he closed the book, and he gave itagain to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Isaiah 55:
1Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
John 10:
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.14I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Matthew 11:
28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Hebrews 4:
9There remains therefore a rest to the people of God.
10For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
NO SUCH THING AS HUMAN "CO-SAVIORS" !!!
John 14:
5Thomas said unto him, Lord, we know not where you go; and how can we know the way?
6Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
JESUS PREDICTED MANY "FALSE CHRISTS" !!!
Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
The Catholic church tells their priests that when they are ordained they become a "Christ." They call them "Alter Christi" (which means "OTHER CHRISTS.") They claim during the Mass the priest has more power than anything in heaven and commands JESUS to come off his throne, down into the bread and wine, to allegedly "suffer" His passion all over again.
5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
JESUS COMES TO COMFORT AND HELP US, NOT INFLICT TORTURE !!!
26But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
SALVATION IN NO OTHER NAME BUT JESUS CHRIST !!!!!!!!!!!
Acts 4:
"...that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
JESUS ACCOMPLISHED SALVATION FOR ALL TIMES, ONCE AND FOR ALL ON THE CROSS 2000 YEARS AGO:
John 19:
30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
(See my former post about "Very sad, what people believe in" for Hebrews 7 and 10 scriptures, how JESUS suffered and died ONCE for all, and there are NO MORE SACRIFICES FOR SINS !!!)
For some reason the Catholic church does not want to portray JESUS as the VICTOR over sin and death, by his death, resurrection and ascension into heaven, where he is GLORIFIED and sits on the "right hand of God," but they keep Him as a constant "suffering victim." I can't figure out their motive.
FALSE CATHOLIC BELIEF: That JESUS has "great and precious promises" for His believers, but that he somehow "singles out" individuals to EXCLUDE from His promises of comfort, peace, love, joy, and rest, to "share" in his alleged "ongoing torture" where He can somehow never accomplish saving all souls.
TRUTH: The LORD JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE AND REIGNS IN HEAVEN, WHERE HE IS GLORIFIED AND SITS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER, HAVING DEFEATED SIN, DEATH AND THE GRAVE AND GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE WITH GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES !!!!!!!
2 Peter 1:
4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
It does NOT say "By TORTURE" or by "sharing Jesus' torture" or "only by sufferings" you might be partakers of the divine nature.
FALSE CATHOLIC BELIEF: That only sufferings produce "holiness" in a person's life.
TRUTH: See the last scripture I posted, that by His "great and precious promises" we are made "partakers of the divine nature." We can only share His divine nature if we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us, if we are truly born-again Christians.
