Some time ago, I had a pleasure to travel on a Landover Baptist Church mission to South America, as an assistant to one of LBC pastors. Oh, it was a joyous time, although the locals didn't seem to appreciate KJV (they acted almost as if they didn't understand the language), but the nights filled with exhausting but inspiring Bible Studies were truly unforgettable.
Anyway, I was able to observe some of the pagan rituals and other repulsive behavior of Catholic priests and their followers. I have to admit, though, that that was maybe the only Catholic church with non-pedophile priests, because everybody in town knew who the wives (and children) of the priests were. Also, they didn't waste their money on stuff like dinners for the poor or any kind of "charity." Well, I guess they needed all the money to support their multiple wives and kids. Of course they never married in Christ, so all these relations were sinful.
There was another thing that caught my attention. You know, Catholics have the tradition of using Holy Water during their pagan ceremonies. Well, there was a sign on the door of the church that caught my attention. It listed prices for different amounts of the Holy Water. There was another sign on the side, written in an obscure dialect of Latin that was hard to understand, but it basically explained that the price was not for the water itself but for the bottle, etiquette, and work involved (BS, if you ask my personal opinion).
That got me thinking, don't Catholics know that Jesus dislikes selling stuff in the temple? Because the verses of the Bible are quite clear:
Matthew 21:12-13
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the stables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it ya den of thieves.
Mark 11:15-18
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
Luke 19:45-46
45 And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold,
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.”
I am attaching below the picture of the signs on the door of that church that the Catholics made into a den of thieves/robbers (using our Lord's own words).
