One of the greatest tragedies of Christian life is that billions of people who love the Lord and genuinely want to be saved will burn in Hell for eternity because they follow the teachings of false denominations such as Catholicism, Orthodox "Christianity," Episcopalianism, Lutheranism, Methodism, and whatever those people are up to in Black churches. It just breaks my heart to know that God has no choice but to torment these well-meaning people for eternity. The Catholic religion, as the largest and best organized of these false churches, is the worst offender.
Let me say at the outset that I do not blame these individuals who will die in sin because they did not attend an Evangelical church. They are the victims of a conspiracy fostered by Satan and perpetuated by religious leaders who are nothing more than con men and scammers who care for nothing but money.
The main tool these charlatans use is distorting the Bible, either through deliberate misinterpretation, selecting only certain passages while never teaching the whole Bible, and setting up priests or other religious leaders as intermediaries between man and God. As True Christians™, our most important mission is to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ in its unadulterated form to the world. We know that, when people read the whole Bible with an open mind and an open heart, they will learn the Truth about God, and that Truth will set them free.
My greatest shame in life is that, as a teenager, before I was saved, I had a brief flirtation with Catholicism. I was sucked in by the pageantry of Catholic rituals and by the philosophical double talk that Catholic priests spout at the drop of a hat. I enjoyed believing that I could masturbate as much as I wanted yet still be forgiven time and time again just by whispering the lurid details of my masturbatory fantasies to an elderly pervert who no doubt masturbated even more than I did, at least when there were no altar boys around. Let me give a concrete example of how the Catholics had me brainwashed:
In John 6:35, Jesus said "I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." The Catholic priests used this verse to convince me that communion wafers were the actual flesh of Christ. It didn't look like flesh. It didn't smell like flesh. It didn't taste like flesh. Once, when I threw up after receiving communion, I saw that it didn't seem to have transubstantiated into flesh after I had consumed it. Yet still I believed. And it is this belief in transubstantiation that made me worship my priest as a nearly magical creature, someone with the awesome power of God literally at his fingertips.
Thankfully, my father was a deacon of the Landover Baptist Church, and he beat some sense into me. One day, after administering my daily whipping, he showed me John 10:7, in which Jesus says "Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep." My father asked me a simple question, if bread is literally Jesus, is Jesus also literally a door? Well, this floored me. The priests had never discussed this passage. I realized then that the priests twisted scripture to serve their own purposes rather than God's.
Well, I ran to Pastor Ezekiel's mansion--he was then Landover's lead youth pastor--and confessed that I was a sinner. I told him that I wanted to follow God's plan for my life, not the evil ways of Catholicism. Pastor Ezekiel laid his hands upon me and we prayed to Jesus (not to some fake saint). That is when the Holy Spirit entered my heart and I abandoned a life of lust and sin. I haven't masturbated since. This event made me the man I am today and ensured my eternal Salvation.
Let my story serve as testimony to all those who think the Catholic church represents God. It was only through the intervention of the Holy Spirit, moving through two of the greatest Christians I have ever known, that I came to know the truth. If you are a Catholic reading this, I implore you to come to the Landover Baptist Church (if you meet the minimum income requirement) or some other Bible-believing Evangelical Christian church. Unless you are far stronger than I am, you cannot do it on your own. Then pray with them, asking God to enter your life.
