The Catholic church is the one true church CCC 2105 "The duty of offering God genuine worship concerns man both individually and socially. This is 'the traditional Catholic teaching on the moral duty of individuals and societies toward the true religion and the one Church of Christ.' By constantly evangelizing men, the Church works toward enabling them 'to infuse the Christian spirit into the mentality and mores, laws and structures of the communities in which [they] live.' The social duty of Christians is to respect and awaken in each man the love of the true and the good. It requires them to make known the worship of the one true religion which subsists in the Catholic and apostolic Church. Christians are called to be the light of the world. Thus, the Church shows forth the kingship of Christ over all creation and in particular over human societies."

For example, the Assumption of Mary. Question: Did God leave important teachings out of the Bible? Is God forgetful? The Roman Catholic Church cannot clearly and easily show its history before 320 AD, when the Roman Emperor Constantine professed conversion, amalgamated pagans and Christians, and declared himself to be the head or pontiff of the Universal (Catholic) Church. The early Church never had many of the doctrines that the Roman Catholic Church now has. "If they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them." (Isaiah 8:20) Question: What are some errors of the Roman Catholic Church? ERROR 1: Human Tradition Is Elevated to Or Above the Word of God (1545 AD) "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy or vain deceit, after the tradition of man, .... and not after Christ." (Colossians 2:8) Jesus charges the Pharisees for exalting tradition above the Word of God in the same way that the Roman Catholic Church does: "Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?" (Matthew 15:3) "Ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites." (Matthew 15:6-7)

teachings and doctrines can be clearly exposed as being false. So many sincere people have been deceived by this church, which is why we have created this page to expose some of these false teachings and doctrines. Catholic False Doctrine 1 The Roman Catholic Church claim to have power http://www.end-times-prophecy.org/catholic-church-false-doctrine.html over the Bible and authority to change it when they see fit. "The Pope has the power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ. The Pope has the authority and often exercised https://defendingcontending.com/2009/08/11/error-everybody-was-catholic-until-the-reformation/ it, to dispense with the command of Christ." (Decretal, de Tranlatic Episcop. (The pope can modify divine law) Ferraris' Ecclesiastical Dictionary) "The authority of the Church could therefore not be bound to the authority of the Scriptures, because the church had changed the catholic church Sabbath into Sunday, not by command of Christ, but by it's own authority." (Canon and Tradition. page 263) "The doctrines of the Catholic Church are entirely independent of Holy Scripture." (Familiar Explanation of Catholic Doctrine. Rev. M Muller, page 151) Where in God's Word does He give any kind of authority to a person (other than Christ), or a church body to change His laws or His Word? Nowhere! Even if it was true that Jesus said He would build His church upon Peter, (which it catholic church false isn't, see was Peter the first pope), that still doesn't give a mere mortal, sinful man the authority to change the precepts of our ALMIGHTY, MOST HOLY, CREATOR GOD!! Not a chance! What blasphemy to even think it! So does God say we must live by the words of the Pope, or by the words of God Himself? Matthew 4:4 ...'But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.' 1 Peter 1:25 ...'But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.' Hebrews 4:12 .....'For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.' This is very clear. We are to live by the Word of God ALONE. Which means no man or church has been given the authority to change God's Word. Is the word of the pope able to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart? No, only God is able to do this. Therefore the pope CANNOT have any authority over God's Word in the Bible.

11, 2009 by fourpointer Error: "Everybody was Catholic Until the Reformation" Question: Has the church of Our Lord always been “catholic?” Answer: Yes Question: Has the church of Our Lord always been “Catholic?” Answer: No Now, don’t accuse me of speaking out of both sides of my mouth. It is a matter of splitting a hair that needs to be split. There is a world of difference between little-‘c’ “catholic” and Big-‘C’ “Catholic.” Allow me to explain. The word “catholic’ simply means “universal.” Or “worldwide.” The church—the TRUE church—is the joining together of all those who believe in and worship the Lord Jesus Christ and whom He has bought with His blood. Acts 20:28—“Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.” It is my intention to show, as faithfully to the truth as possible, that the assertion that “No other churches existed except the Roman Catholic Church until the Reformation” is a false assertion which is based on a faulty knowledge of history. Let me make one other thing known: it is not my intention to “bash” individual members of the Roman system. I’m sure these people believe with all their heart that Rome is the seat of all power in the church, and that Mary is answering their prayers. Just like Mormons believe the Book of Mormon is from God Himself and that Joseph Smith was His prophet. Just like Muslims believe they are going to “Paradise” if their “good deeds” and alms outweigh their “bad things.” So please do keep that in mind. The Roman Catholic Church has taken it upon herself to misappropriate the word ‘catholic' and apply it to herself. So, whenever you read one of the Early Church Fathers (ECFs) use the Greek word καθολικός (katholikos, catholic, universal), Rome says, “See? They were Catholic” (BIG-‘C’). But here’s their problem: the ECFs were using καθολικός in the “universal” sense—NOT the “Romish” sense. Another word they have appropriated is “Tradition.” Any time they see the word “Tradition” used by Augustine or Gregory of Nyssa or Cyprian—they take it to mean the “Traditions” that Rome has adopted. Therefore, they tell their followers, “See? These men taught that people back then should follow the old traditions! ” This, too, is faulty reas
