Val Kilmer's Tragic Faith In The 'Christian Science' Cult

1st John 4:1-3, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”

The deadly false religion of 'Christian Science' began in 1879 when Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) founded the Church of Christ, Scientist. The movement was established following the publication of her book, 'Science And Health with Key To The Scriptures,' in 1875.

Sadly, Hollywood legendary actor Val Kilmer (1959-2025) was a lifelong devout follower of this demonic cult. I say that kindly, but truthfully. Interestingly, similar to the Jehovah's Witnesses who frown upon doctors, Val went against his Christian Science religious beliefs by seeking medical treatment for his cancer...

Val Kilmer’s Christian Scientist Beliefs & How They Impacted His Cancer Treatment

by Evolve Editors | April 2, 2025

Val Kilmer’s tragic death has fans questioning the late actor’s much-discussed beliefs in Christian Science. The Top Gun star recently breathed his last, passing away at the age of 65 following a prolonged battle with throat cancer. While Kilmer engaged in several medical procedures over the years to cure his ailment, the actor almost went another way due to his religious philosophy. READ MORE

In his excellent book titled, “Some Serious, Popular FALSE DOCTRINES Answered From The Scriptures,” Evangelist John R. Rice (1895-1980) writes on page 127:

I do not hesitate to call anyone a Christian who has trusted in Jesus Christ as his own personal Saviour and who believes that Jesus, the very Son of God, paid for his sins on the cross. Unfortunately Christian Science cannot be classed as any part of the Christian religion. It is not a Christian sect but must be classed with the false religions of the world, such as mohammedanism Confucianism and Buddhism. This is a startling statement and we are sad that it is true, but it is true, as we can very easily show. —Dr. John R. Rice, “Some Serious, Popular FALSE DOCTRINES Answered From The Scriptures,” p. 127; Sword Of The Lord Publishers, 1970

Dr. Rice continues on page 128: 

Christian Science is like Grape-Nuts which are neither grapes nor nuts. It is like guinea pigs which are not guineas and not pigs. So-called Christian Science sails under false colors and is a deceptive false unchristian religion. —Dr. John R. Rice, “Some Serious, Popular FALSE DOCTRINES Answered From The Scriptures,” p. 128; Sword Of The Lord Publishers, 1970

In Christian Science, Heaven is taught as a state of consciousness rather than a literal physical place, achieved through spiritual understanding and the practice of Christian Science principles, particularly the teachings of Jesus Christ. Salvation and entry into Heaven come from recognizing one's true spiritual nature and the reality of God's love and grace. As you can easily see, this is totally unscriptural. In Christian Science, you merit Heaven by your works.

In sharp contrast, the inspired King James Bible teaches that Heaven is a literal place with streets of pure gold, as if it were transparent glass; and there are twelve gates made of a single pearl each (Revelation 21:21). How beautiful is that? But Christian Science blatantly denies these Biblical truths. So-called “Christian Science” (a misnomer) is a FALSE RELIGION that exploits Christian beliefs, but has substantial differences in doctrine and practice from the Christian faith. Christian Science has unorthodox beliefs about the nature of God, Jesus, sin, death and the authority of the inspired Holy Bible. Please avoid this Satanic deception.

Christian Science Denies Jesus' Deity

Mary Baker Eddy and her demonic Christian Science religion deny Jesus' deity, that He is God almighty. Like the Seventh-Day Adventist cult, Christian Science tries to hide their true beliefs from newcomers to lure them in by deception. Case in point, this website makes it sound like Christian Science esteems Jesus highly, but they deceptively refuse to come right out to tell you that they don't think Jesus is God. This is highly misleading.

The following appeared in the Christian Science Sentinel publication in 1923...

Christian Science does not teach that Jesus was God

Mrs. Alice T. Caruthers, Committee on Publication for the State of West Virginia | April 7, 1923 Issue

Christian Science does not teach that Jesus was God, but that he was what he claimed himself to be, the "Son of God." READ MORE

Christian Science is rooted in unbiblical New Age philosophy. According to Christian Science, God is a form of divine conscience and does not possess a physical body; not an individual being. Christian Scientists do not believe God has any human qualities.

Dr. John R. Rice further writes:

Before me is the Christian Science Sentinel of December 22, 1934. On page 330 is an editorial which states part of the infidelity of Christian Science Literature—that is, it's teaching that Jesus is not God. 

Christian Science is doing much to clarify the thoughts of men regarding the great Way-shower. Among other things, it is correcting THE FALLICY THAT JESUS IS GOD.

The teaching that Jesus is God, Christian Science says is a fallacy, that is, is false. Christian Science everywhere teaches that Jesus was kin to God only in the same way that every other man is. Christian Science says much about the life of Jesus, the teaching of Jesus, and so on, but denies the fact of His deity, denies that His blood atones for man's sin, denies that Jesus is very God. 

Jesus expressly claims that he is God, that He is one with the Father, that He is equal with God. Notice these Scriptures.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” —John 1:1-3.

“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.” —John 1:10.

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” —John 1:14.

“I and my Father are one.” —John 10:30.

“If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” —John 14:7-9.

“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God” —Philippians 2:6. —Dr. John R. Rice, “Some Serious, Popular FALSE DOCTRINES Answered From The Scriptures,” pp. 128-129; Sword Of The Lord Publishers, 1970

The Jews plainly understood that Jesus claimed to be God. John 10:33, “The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” Jesus boldly declared to the people that He is God. John 14:1, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” Isaiah 42:8, “I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” If Jesus were not God almighty, then He would have been committing the sins of idolatry and blasphemy in John 14:1. There is no controversy if you believe the inspired Holy Bible.

Christian Scientists see God as the only reality, so in their view all sin, sickness, disease and death are mere illusions that can be overcome through meditation, prayer and realization of spiritual truth. Christian Science is New Age hodgepodge!

Jesus' deity is a fundamental doctrine of the Christian faith. Although you don't need to be a theologian to be saved, at some point in your Christian life you should learn that Jesus is God and readily receive that truth as a fact. Someone who professes to be a Christian, but upon learning that Jesus is God firmly denies this truth, just confirms they are not born again. No one is saved, who after being taught the truth, still rejects the reality of the Godhead, Jesus' virgin birth, His substitutionary vicarious death on the cross for our sins, Jesus sinless life, His blood applied to the Mercy Seat in Heaven and His bodily resurrection.

You don't have to know all these things to be saved, but if you are saved the blessed indwelling Holy Spirit will teach them to you (John 16:13). When I got saved at age 13, I didn't know that Jesus is God. No one had ever mentioned that truth to me before. But when I attended Bible college at age 18 and heard my Bible professor tell me about Jesus' deity, the Holy Spirit confirmed in my soul that it is the truth. Wisdom is justified of her children (Luke 7:35).

Christian Science Elevates Christ, But Lowers Jesus

In the cult of Christian Science, Jesus refers to the historical figure who lived and taught on earth; while Christ represents the divine idea or spiritual truth that Jesus embodied. Mary Baker Eddy made a distinction between the man Jesus and His role as Christ. This distinction emphasizes the spiritual understanding of Jesus' role in revealing God's nature and the healing power of divine love.

Mary Baker Eddy taught that Christ is the divine idea of God, while Jesus is the human manifestation of that idea. In her corrupt view, Christ represents the spiritual truth and healing power, distinct and without any need for the historical figure of Jesus. Mary Baker Eddy writes:

The theory of three person in one God (that is, a personal Trinity or Tri-unity) suggests polytheism, rather than the one ever-present I AM. Jesus Christ is not God, as Jesus himself declared, but is the Son of God. (Science and Health, 256:9-11)

Beware The Cult Of 'Christian Science'

As do the Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science rejects medical treatment, believing that all ailments can be healed through spiritual means instead. That is ridiculous which common sense dictates. This alone should be evidence enough that something is very wrong with the Christian Science religion.

Christian Science: World is Illusion

Christian Science views the material world as an illusion created by the human mind. According to Christian Science teachings, the physical universe that we perceive through our senses does not actually exist.

It is considered a false belief that can be overcome through prayer and spiritual understanding of God’s true nature.

Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy taught that matter, sin, sickness and death are not creations of God, but rather are mistaken beliefs of mortal mind. She described the material world as the “error of carnal mortal mind”, not the true spiritual creation of God which she saw as entirely good and spiritual.

By turning away from belief in materiality and focusing completely on the spiritual nature of God and his creation, Christian Scientists believe we can transcend this illusion of a material world and align our thought more fully with Divine Mind, or God. READ MORE

Clearly, Christian Science is based in pagan New Age mumbo-jumbo.

Christian Science does not support the doctrine of the Godhead (aka, Trinity), believing it to be unbiblical. Instead, they view Jesus as a "Way-shower" (a term exclusive to Christian Science) because His life and teachings serve as a model for how to live a balanced and fulfilling life. Christian Science is a Satanic deception intended to take more victims to Hell.

Christian Science adherents don't trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life; but rather, to save them by showing us how to live life to its fullest.

• Christianity teaches that everybody has sinned and fallen short of God’s standards. The first sin separated Adam and Eve from their intimate relationship with God. Sin is disobeying God’s laws (Romans 3:10-23, 5:12).
• Christian Science teaches that the fall of Adam and Eve never happened. Eddy believed that humans are an expression of God and thus perfect, with no sin. She said that one gets victory over sin by realizing it’s simply an illusion.

The teachings of Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science are just plain strange and unbiblical. My article has been more about Christian Science than Val Kilmer, but my heart goes out to the man and his family. Val was horribly deceived by Satan. What saith the Scripture?

2nd Corinthians 11:13-15, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”

The world is full of Satanic imposters who masquerade as ministers of righteousness. Sadly, Val was just one of billions of Satan's victims who were tricked by a false religion. There are over one billion hellbound Roman Catholics who have been deceived by Satan, to think that they can get to Heaven by keeping the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic religion. No such requirements are taught in the Holy Bible, not even in the Catholic Douay version of the Bible.

Christian Science followers errantly believe that death transforms them to a higher state of consciousness into a different realm. They don't believe that God is a person; but rather, a force of nature. They don't believe that Heaven or Hell are literal places. They teach that death is an illusion. Christian Science is neither Christian nor based on science.

The Counterfeit Plan Of Salvation Of Christian Science

Jesus warned in John 3:3b, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” But read what Christian Science says you must do to live forever...

Christian Scientists believe that death is an illusion, and that it can be overcome through prayer and the understanding of spiritual truth. READ MORE

That is a false plan of salvation. In Christian Science, they make a distinction between Jesus versus Christ.

Unless Val Kilmer repented on his deathbed to forsake his trust in the lies of Christian Science, and instead place his faith in Jesus Christ alone as his Savior, he sadly went to Hell forever. Christian Science teaches that Heaven is a state of consciousness and harmony that can be experienced now, rather than a literal physical place one enters after death.

The cult emphasizes that individuals can achieve this heavenly state now by aligning their thoughts with God's positive and constructive ideas. Christian Scientists do not believe in a literal Heaven or Hell. They believe that our spiritual nature determines our experience after death, rather than a physical place of reward or punishment. This is all unbiblical rubbish. The inspired Word of God teaches that there are literal places called Hell and Heaven. Where you end up in eternity has nothing to do with your spiritual nature; but rather, if you die in the Lord (Revelation 14:13), or die in your sins (John 8:24).

In Christian Science you don't receive eternal life by faith in Jesus. Christian Science teaches that salvation is achieved through understanding and proving the truths of Christian Science rather than through faith in Jesus. They view Jesus as a "Way-shower" who exemplifies the path to God, but do not adhere to traditional doctrines of atonement or the Trinity.

Totally contrary to God's Word, Christian Science teaches:

Christian Science emphasizes that the quality of life one experiences after death is determined by the moral and spiritual progress one makes during their life. This belief encourages individuals to live a life of service and spiritual growth in order to experience a higher level of consciousness after death. READ MORE

Please don't mistake this heresy as being similar to rewards for the Christian who faithfully serves God on earth. What you just read is their plan of salvation in Christian Science! What saith the Scripture? John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Christian Science is of the Devil, because they do not believe you are saved by trusting Jesus as your personal Savior. They believe you live forever if you live the Christian life by following the example which Christ set for us. Clearly, this is a works-based type of FALSE RELIGION.

Religion Cannot Save Anybody

Instead of pastors, they have public Christian Science reading rooms with books to guide and teach interested followers. The false religion has no official dogma apart from six tenets. Christian Science is a classic example of Alice Bailey's demonic vision in her book, “The Externalisation Of The Hierarchy,” in which she taught that Theosophists (Luciferians) should infiltrate Christianity by maintaining an outer shell of core beliefs (e.g., the six tenets of Christian Science), while promoting New Age ideologies (which is exactly what Christian Science does). If you check the Statement of Faith of nearly every pseudo-Christian organization and church today, you'll find that their basic beliefs are okay. They do this to deceive the masses, to keep up appearances.

The founder of “Lucifer” Magazine in 1887, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891), and editor Annie Besant (1847-1933) along with other occultists, believed that Christian churches were the key to introducing the doctrines of Lucifer to large masses of people. The 1904 annual report of the Theosophical Society stated:

“I believe it is through the Churches and not through the Theosophical Society that Theosophy [the worship of Lucifer]... must and should come to large bodies of people in the West.” (Transactions of the Theosophical Society, H. P. Blavatsky, Annie Besant, 1904, p. 377)

And then just eight years later the 1912 report of the Theosophical Society stated:

“Our Lodges continue their propaganda work... Outside the Lodges many of the members engage in what is really Theosophical work such as lecturing, talking on the principles we are trying to put forward, preaching and other activities in connection with the Christian Churches and other organizations....” (Theosophist Magazine, Annie Besant, 1912, p. 88)

Nineteenth century occult mystic Fenton Hort is perhaps best known for his part in the work of the corrupt bible revision committee of 1881. Speaking on the subject of creating a new eclectic New Testament text Hort stated:

“At present very many orthodox but rational men are being unawares acted upon by influences which will assuredly bear good fruit in due time, if the process is allowed to go on quietly;” (Life and letters of Fenton John Anthony Hort, Vol. 1, 1896, p. 400)

In the Old Testament Jeremiah said that “their course is evil, and their force is not right” (Jeremiah 23:10). The apostle Paul warned, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” (2nd Corinthians 11:13-15). As you can plainly see for yourself, there has been a sinister plot by Satan's minions to infiltrate and corrupt Christianity in first world countries for well over a century.

It used to be difficult for me, as a born again child of God, to understand how Val Kilmer or anyone could be so gullible to fall for Satan's deception of Christian Science. But then I realized that they cannot see what I see, because the inspired Holy Bible says that Satan has blinded them. 2nd Corinthians 4:34, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” I am truly saddened that almost assuredly Val Kilmer died in his sins without Jesus and is now burning in Hell forever, deceived by the Christian Science religious cult.

Please Stay Away From Roman Catholicism

Mark 7:7-9, “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.”

I love Catholic people, God knows my heart. That being said, there's not a bigger religious cult in the world than Roman and Russian Orthodox Catholicism. Essentially I see them combined as one religion of Catholicism, since both sects share the same core essential teachings and values, venerating their priests and keeping sacraments to enter into Heaven. This heresy is called “Sacramental Salvation.”

I cannot warn you enough dear reader to run away from the Roman Catholic and Russian Orthodox Catholic religions. Although these two branches of Catholicism have some distinct differences, they both share the same demonic core teachings and unbiblical values. I love Catholic people, but I detest their damnable false religion. False religion sends people to Hell for all eternity. Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) was absolutely right that the man with no hope is much better off than the man with a false hope, because the man with no hope is still searching for answers. That is so true!

I marvel as I read the internet and see how defiant again the truth and spiritually blinded Catholics are in defense of their false religion. Sacraments never saved anyone! Water baptism might make you cleaner, but it cannot save you. The term “sacraments” isn't even found in the inspired Holy Bible. Sacramental Salvation never saved anybody!

Furthermore, contrary to unbiblical Catholic teaching, no priest can absolve your sins! No one can forgive sins except God alone, and the inspired Scripture is very clear that salvation is found only through faith in Jesus Christ. Acts 4:10-12, “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, 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. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

I met a man years ago at the Micronesia Mall on Guam, who tried to convince me that there are “many paths” to God. He also claimed to be a Christian. But I opened his eyes by quoting John 14:6 to him, which Bible verse warns that there is no other path of salvation other than to trust in Jesus Christ alone. John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Like it or not, Christianity is exclusive. That is, it excludes all other religious faiths. If you don't get born again through faith alone in the GOOD NEWS (Gospel) of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen the third day, you won't go to Heaven when you die someday. If you believe the inspired Holy Bible, then please don't add anything to your faith in Jesus! That means you cannot be a Catholic and still go to Heaven! I cherish these truthful quotes from Dr. Jack Hyles:

“More people will die and burn in Hell, because they're trusting too much!”—Pastor Jack Hyles, “Yea, Yea, And Nay, Nay!”

“Everything that's hard and complicated about salvation is God's side of it!”—Pastor Jack Hyles, “Yea, Yea, And Nay, Nay!”

Catholic Answers Has Bible Salvation Wrong

Case in point, here is Jimmy Akin's deadly counterfeit plan of salvation posted on the Catholic Answers website at Catholic.com...

How to Go to Heaven
Sometimes people make it sound like the Catholic understanding of how to get to heaven is really complex.

It’s not.

While you can go into any of Christ’s teachings in a lot of very rich detail, he made sure that this one can be understood even by a child.

The two sentences are these: To come to God and be saved, you need to repent, have faith, and be baptized. If you commit mortal sin, you need to repent, have faith, and go to confession.

That’s it. That’s all there is to it. And we can show each of these things from the Bible.

The need to repent is shown by the fact that, right at the beginning of his ministry, Jesus began preaching the gospel, saying “repent and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:14-15).

The need for faith is shown when the author of the letter to the Hebrews writes that “Without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Heb. 11:6).

And the need for baptism is shown when St. Peter flatly tells us: “Baptism now saves you” (1 Peter 3:21).

So that’s what you need to do if you want to come to God and be saved: Repent, have faith, and be baptized.

If you do these things, you’ll be in a state of grace, and as long as you remain in a state of grace, you’ll go to heaven.

But we still have free will, and we can still turn our backs on God and fall from grace, to use St. Paul’s phrase (Galatians 5:4).

St. Paul is very clear about the possibility of us committing mortal sin. He tells us: “Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

To turn away from God and commit mortal sin is the opposite of repenting. So when we fall into mortal sin, we need to turn back to God—to repent again. [emphasis added] SOURCE

Dear reader, what you have just read is toxic deadly poison! Nowhere does the inspired King James Bible teach that you must repent of your sins, get water baptized, repeatedly repent of sins throughout your life to remain in a state of grace, or confess your sins to a priest to get to Heaven. And there is no such thing as a distinction between Venial Sins versus Mortal Sins. To God sin is sin!

Just One Sin is Enough to Send You to Hell Forever

Famous actor and comedian Jackie Gleason (1916-1987) once said on 60-minutes in a 1984 interview that he didn't believe God is a “vengeful” God. In 1946 there were only 6,000 U.S. households who owned a television, but by 1952 a staggering 22,000,000 American households owned a television. With this new toy called “TV” invading American homes, Gleason was one of the biggest names in the booming business. Mr. Gleason was affectionately known in his industry as: “The Great One,” first given the compliment by Orson Wells (1915-1985). Unfortunately, Gleason did not know “The Greatest One,” which is Jesus Christ. Gleason states in a 1984 '60 Minutes' interview, when asked what he thought about going to Heaven:

“I'm sure that if you've committed a sin He's not going to send you to Hell for eternity.” SOURCE: '60 Minutes' interview, 1984

Unfortunately, Jackie Gleason was very wrong. The Bible teaches that committing even ONE SIN makes a person GUILTY OF ALL. Jackie Gleason didn't understand that Biblical truth. James 2:10, “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” The reason why one sin makes a man “guilty of all” is because even one sin is enough to keep a person out of Heaven and send them to the Lake of Fire forever. God is a holy God and His holiness demands justice. Sin must be paid for, which is why Christ came into the world as the Lamb of God (John 1:29), to die on a cross for everyone's sins. Jesus Christ is “the Saviour of all men” (1st Timothy 4:10), but you must personally receive Him by faith in order to be saved (John 1:12-13).

God sends sinners to Hell for eternity if they die in their sins without Jesus Christ. John 8:24, “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” This is also clearly stated in 2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9, “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.”

We read in Revelation 20:15, “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” John 3:5, “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” No one can go to Heaven without being born-again by the Holy Spirit of God, who indwells every true believer (1st Corinthians 3:16-17; Romans 8:9; 1st John 3:24). You must be born from above by the Spirit of God. Being religious is not enough!

Tragically, Jackie Gleason was raised a Catholic, married a Catholic, had a Catholic funeral and was buried in a Catholic cemetery in Florida. I'd say he was a Catholic! The inspired Holy Bible is plainly clear that NO ONE shall ever be justified by the works of the law (Romans 3:20; Ephesians 2:8-9). Yet, you can talk with any Catholic and they will openly tell you that they are trusting in faith plus their works to get to Heaven, holding to their own manmade traditions instead of the inspired Word of God (Mark 7:7-9).

Umpteen books can and have been written disproving the Roman Catholic perverse way of salvation. Sacramental Salvation is a counterfeit plan of salvation inspired by demons.

The Atheist Religion Of Rush

Ecclesiastes 7:5, “It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.”

Rush is a Canadian rock band which began in 1968 in Toronto. They were inducted into the Canadian Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1994, and the U.S. Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2013. They've had 24 gold albums, 14 platinum (3 multi-platinum). The band has sold over 50 million albums worldwide for over the past 50 years. And they're still performing.

Tragically, bassist Geddy Lee, drummer Neil Peart (1952-2020) and guitarist Alex Lifeson are all avowed atheists. Geddy has called himself a “Jewish atheist.” Neil Peart said publicly that he is agnostic (not sure what he believed), but he also said that he was skeptical if God exists. So, effectively he was also an atheist. That is so sad and tragic! The inspired King James Bible says they are all WITHOUT EXCUSE!!!

Romans 1:20-21, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

The band members of Rush are all self-made millionaires. Neil Peart had a net worth of $42 million at the time of his death from brain cancer in 2020. Geddy Lee's net worth is $40 million. Alex Lifeson's net worth is $35 million. They are all rich men who think they have no need of God in this world, but they will regret the day they were born in the afterlife. I say that kindly with love because I care. If the inspired King James Bible be true, and I've staked my eternity that it is, all of Rush's band members will spend eternity suffering in the torments of Hell's fire and brimstone, without rest day nor night, without hope, forever! They made their choices!

I have been a hobbyist musician since age 15. I play many stringed instruments well. My favorite is the pedal steel guitar, and second is the 5-string banjo. As such I have a musical opinion about bands like Rush, and then there is my Christian opinion as a born again child of God. Musically speaking, I have admired Rush's music for the past 50 years. Fly By Night is one of my favorite Rush songs, from 1975. Speaking as a Christian, they are of the Devil.

Having said that, I never really listened to the lyrics as a teenager, I mostly heard the music. I never grasped the deeper meaning of their lyrical contents. But now that I am much older, and I have examined the band member's lives, beliefs and lyrics out of mere curiosity, I am disturbed. I had never known that all of Rush's members are avowed atheists. That is so sad and tragic. But if you listen to them talk in interviews, and read their song's lyrics, they make dissing God sound so sensible and wise.

In reality, kindly said, they are fools under the wrath of God according to the inspired Holy Bible. John 3:36, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” Psalm 7:11, “God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.” Our divine Creator does not take it lightly when you reject the gift of His only begotten Son, Jesus.

Here are the lyrics to Rush's popular song, "Faithless"...

Faithless

[Verse 1]

I've got my own moral compass to steer by

A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky

And all the preaching voices

Empty vessels ring so loud

As they move among the crowd

Fools and thieves are well disguised

In the temple and marketplace

In the temple and marketplace

[Pre-Chorus]

Like a stone in the river

Against the floods of spring

I will quietly resist

I will quietly resist

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Like the willows in the wind

Or the cliffs along the ocean

I will quietly resist

I will quietly resist

[Chorus]

I don't have faith in faith

I don't believe in beliefs

You can call me faithless

You can call me faithless

But I still cling to hope

And I believe in love

And that's faith enough for me

And that's faith enough for me

Did you catch that blasphemy against God? ...

I've got my own moral compass to steer by

A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky

And all the preaching voices

Empty vessels ring so loud

What saith the Scripture? Proverbs 16:25, “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” The lyrics were composed by all three band members, disrespectfully referring to God almighty as, “a spirit in the sky.” Woe unto those wicked sinners! Their moral compass is broken!

What saith the Scripture? Proverbs 3:5-7, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Rush is preaching the exact opposite through their demonic music.

And here are the lyrics to Rush's popular song, "Freewill"...

Freewill

There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance

A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance

A planet of playthings, we dance on the strings of powers we cannot perceive

The stars aren't aligned or the Gods are malign, blame is better to give than receive

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill

I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand

The cards were stacked against them they weren't born in Lotus Land

All preordained, a prisoner in chains, a victim of venomous fate

Kicked in the face, you can pray for a place, in heaven's unearthly estate

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill

I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill

Each of us, a cell of awareness, imperfect and incomplete

Genetic blends with uncertain ends on a fortune hunt that's far too fleet

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill

I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill

This song is clearly an attack against God. The band member's atheist views are inherent in the lyrics, discouraging the listener from having faith in God. They mention prayer, Heaven, one's celestial state, all blaspheming God and His Word. We are taught by Jesus Himself in Mark 11:22b, “Have faith in God.” But you certainly do have a freewill given to you by your Creator, and He will not force you to trust in His only begotten Son, but you will spend eternity burning in the Lake of Fire if you don't. Who are you, or me, to challenge God almighty?

One thing that I commonly see in those who critique organized religion is that they don't make a distinction between faith in God versus faith in organized religion, and there is a big difference. In the song Faithless, they attack the Bible preacher...

And all the preaching voices

Empty vessels ring so loud

Many preachers are empty vessels, but I am not. By God's grace, I have preached THE TRUTH for the past 24 years of website ministry since 2002, and I've never requested or taken a single penny for my labors for Christ. My ministry is a labor of love for God, truth and people. But Rush just lumps all Bible preachers into one sinking ship, accusing us of being empty vessels that ring so loud. Unfortunately for Neil Peart, it is now too late. The moment he breathed his last breath in 2020, dying from brain cancer, his eternal fate was sealed.

 

Atheism Is A Religion

I don't care what any skeptic or naysayer says, atheism is absolutely a religion.

I recently had a very disturbing chat with ChatGPT about how the moon was formed. We got into some deep philosophical ideas and I had ChatGPT going in circles when I corned it. According to ChatGPT a big rock smashed into the earth. When I asked the A.I. why it didn't bother to mention the other possibility, that God made the moon, it dismissed my concern using the excuse that it gave me the "scientific" answer, not the theological one. ChatGPT says it is programmed to "infer user intent" and thus infers that ALL of it's users want the scientific answer, unless they specifically mention "God."

This is where it got philosophical, because I challenged Chat GPT on the validity of deeming a speculative hypothesis (not even a theory based upon credible evidence) as being "scientific." The crazy idea that a gargantuan rock smashed into the earth billions of years ago, and then a big piece of the molten earth broke off and somehow became a perfectly round moon circling in our planet's orbit, is beyond absurd! It is absolute pure science fiction. This is 100% atheist indoctrination. Only a very dishonest person would dare claim that a bizarre non-plausible chaotic collision formed the moon billions of years ago, when the inspired Holy Bible plainly teaches in Genesis 1:14-18 and Psalm 8:3 that God made the moon.

The Theia theory, also known as the giant-impact hypothesis, was first proposed by Canadian geologist Reginald Daly in 1946. This hypothesis suggests that the moon formed from debris resulting from a collision between the early Earth and a Mars-sized body named Theia. If you believe that is how the moon formed, I truly feel sorry for your blatant ignorance. Do you also think the earth is flat? I hope not. It blows my mind in 2026 to know that millions of fools still think that the earth is flat, and that our planet does not move through space at 67,100 mph.

NASA, museums and universities everywhere, National Geographic, and countless other heathen groups, have adopted Reginald Daly's ridiculous hypothesis of how the moon was made. It is the religion of atheism, a set of beliefs which cannot be proven. Daly's bogus hypothesis is no more “science” than claiming that the moon is made out of Swiss cheese!

I wrote a blog about the danger of using ChatGPT. Don't get me wrong, I really like Chat GPT, but it will lie to you sometimes! I've tested it numerous times, catching it in a lie. For practical advice ChatGPT is great. But if you are going through marriage difficulties, it will at times suggest filing for divorce, and that is unscriptural.

When I asked ChatGPT about two undetonated bombs found in the Alfred P. Murrah Building in 1995, after the Oklahoma City Bombing incident, the A.I. denied that any bombs were found. When I shared a link to the actual local news video about the discovered bombs, ChatGPT still denied that they existed. Clearly, some evil people who don't want the public to know the truth are controlling ChatGPT. Here's the video, so you can go ask ChatGPT for yourself. Have fun! The A.I. dismissed my ministry website as a "conspiratorial website." Ha!

Atheism is a religion, and it is what the band members of Rush are promoting, and it is evil. So, as much as millions of fans love and cherish the band's creative music, we must at the same time acknowledge that they are pulling on the same rope as the Devil.

Why God Hates Roman Catholicism

Isaiah 42:8, “I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.”

Truly, a picture is worth 1,000 words! There is not a bigger Satanic cult on the planet than Roman and Russian Orthodox Catholicism. Isaiah 42:8, “I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” So, why do Catholics persistently tempt God by bowing down to worship graven images? IDOLATRY!

Exodus 20:3-5, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.” Again, why do Catholics disregard God's inspired Word to worship idols?

Thus, it is no wonder why Jesus said in Mark 7:9, “And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” The dear Savior practically gives the address of the Vatican in Rome, and the headquarters of the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow. These are the Devil's religious headquarters!

The sin of idolatry is a horrible sin. Catholics do it intentionally, which is evil. The inspired Word of God strictly forbids making idols and graven images, nor to bow down to them in worship. To venerate the dead is wickedness!!!

Because it is so obvious that bowing down to graven images woefully contradicts the plain commandment of God's Word, the ungodly Vatican has completely REMOVED God's second commandment from the Ten Commandments. You couldn't make this stuff up! It is unreal! 

What blows my mind is why anyone would continue going to the Catholic church, when it couldn't be more obvious that Catholicism is a deadly PRISONHOUSE OF RELIGION!!!

There is no debating whether Catholics venerate (worship) their patron saints, the Virgin Mary, and their Pope. These photos don't lie! Those people are wickedly bowing down to graven images (idols), committing the sin of IDOLATRY.

Exodus 20:3-5, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.”

The very fact that the Vatican has dishonestly and deceptively REMOVED the second of God's Ten Commandments, and then divided the tenth commandment not to COVET into two commandments (to make up the difference), proves that the Vatican fully knows they are wrong. Why would they tamper, change and corrupt God's Word to facilitate their IDOLATRY unless they knew it was wrong? Clearly, the Catholic church has told on themselves by changing God's Ten Commandments. Even a small child can see that something is not right.

I can tell you with all confidence based upon the authority of the inspired Holy Scripture that God hates the Catholic religion with a passion. God does not hate the individual people, they are victims of a Satanic deception. But God hates every falsehood. Psalms 119:104, “Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.” Dear reader, the closer you draw to a holy and true God, by dwelling and meditating in His inspired Words, the more you will hate every falsehood, deception and evil thing. God is truth!

I implore you dear reader to RUN AWAY from the Catholic church as fast as you can, and never return! When I think about the Catholic church with their exquisite architecture, trillions of dollars, granite marble floors and elaborate grand designs in their impressive church buildings, I am reminded of Jesus' words in Matthew 23:27, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.”

The Tragic End Of 'Queen' Frontman Freddie Mercury

1st John 2:22-23, “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.”

Rock band 'Queen' frontman Freddie Mercury (real name: Farrokh Bulsara) sadly died of A.I.D.S. in 1991 at only age 45. Mercury had homosexual lovers all round the world. Even more tragic is that Freddie Mercury almost assuredly died in his sins without Jesus Christ...

Freddie Mercury’s Family Faith: The Ancient Religion of Zoroastrianism

by Vasudha Narayanan | November 3, 2018

Professor of Religion, University of Florida

In the Freddie Mercury biopic, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” there’s a scene in which a family member scolds Mercury.

“So now the family name is not good enough for you?”

“I changed it legally,” Mercury responds. “No looking back.”

It might come as a surprise to some that Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara. He came from a Parsi family that had roots in India and he was a Zoroastrian by faith.

In the world religion courses I teach at the University of Florida, we discuss Zoroastrianism.

Fleeing religious persecution from Muslims in Persia sometime between the seventh and 10th centuries, the Zoroastrians settled in India, where they came to be called “Parsis.”

Like Freddie Mercury, they worked to integrate into their new surroundings. Yet they also stayed true to the values, beliefs, and practices of their religion, which many scholars say had an influence on Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
A precursor for Christianity?

The Zoroastrian faith is one of the world’s oldest religions, one that could date back as far as 1200 B.C.

Zoroaster, a prophet who lived in modern-day Iran, is viewed as the founder of Zoroastrianism. READ MORE

The inspired Word of God is very clear that there is only ONE WAY to the Father, which is through faith in His only begotten (biological) Son, Jesus Christ. John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” The Father's will concerning redemption is that every human being rest in Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, burial and resurrection (the Gospel) as full payment for our sins (1st Corinthians 15:1-6). There is no other way to Heaven (Acts 4:10-12).

In a bizarre 1973 song titled, “Jesus,” the band Queen (formed in London in 1970) sing the lyrics: “All going down to see the Lord Jesus.” Talk about strange and confusing! In itself, that song in no way indicates what the individual band members believed concerning the afterlife. Legendary Queen guitarist Brian May (born 1947) had this to say about the mysterious song...

“Freddie was obviously born a Parsi into the Zoroastrian faith, but he also attended a school in Zanzibar which I believe was a Christian school," Brian May told Mojo magazine. "The workings of Freddie's mind were interesting and sometimes obscure. I don't know where his lyrics for Jesus came from anymore than I know where 'Bohemian Rhapsody' came from.” SOURCE

We have no public statements from Freddie Mercury to lead us to believe anything other than that he perished in his false Zoroastrian religion. John 6:40, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” Jesus because Queen released a song called “Jesus” in 1973, eighteen years before his premature death caused by his sodomite deathstyle, doesn't mean he was a Christian.

In Queen's 1975 famous song, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Freddie Mercury writes in the lyrics: “Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!” That's no different than the band members of Black Sabbath all wearing cross necklaces. So also did Ozzy Osbourne wear cross necklaces throughout his Satanic career of glorifying sin, shame and the Devil. The Devil's crowd do this deliberately to confuse young people. Satan is the author of confusion. 

During U.S. President Joe Biden's 4-year reign of debauchery, incompetence, shame and wickedness, the U.S. federal government strongly promoted demonic transgendered confusion in public schools nationwide. I shudder and cringe to think what evils the Democrats will return our nation to when they retake the White House in a few years. All that Diversity, Equality and Inclusivity (DEI) Satanic garbage is coming back, I assure you. Our children deserve better! God deserves better!

In a 2022 book titled, “The Stone Age: Sixty Years of the Rolling Stones,” by music journalist Lesley-Ann Jones, she reveals that The Rolling Stones homosexual frontman Mick Jagger had ungodly sexual flings with band guitarist Keith Richards, and former guitarist David Bowie. That is gross and sickening! If you don't think homosexuality is gross, you are not right with God. I noticed many years ago that even the heathen world are embarrassed by sodomites, so they will often refer to a homosexual like Mick Jagger as being “bisexual.”

The word homosexual is much more embarrassing than bisexual, because even the heathen world thinks there's something wrong with a homosexual man who doesn't still like women. The issue arises because of different understanding of the term homosexual. Technically, a “homosexual” is someone who only has sex with men, but to most people a “homosexual” simply refers to someone who has sex with their own gender.

In truth, all bisexuals are homosexuals with all the negative and shameful stigma that should go along with that sinful designation. There has been a Satanic agenda at work for the past half century that is trying to remove the stigma, shame and negative implications of being a homosexual. In short, those wicked reprobates are trying to change the laws of nature.  ...

Romans 1:24-27, “Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”

Please understand dear reader that I do not hate anybody. I believe homosexuals can still be saved, and that God loves them unconditionally. Christ died for all sinners (1st John 2:2). God hates the sin, not the sinner. We should never bash the homosexual community, but Bible preachers should preach against the sin of homosexuality, just as he must expose all sins. 1st Timothy 5:20, “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.”

It is not my place as a child of God to condemn anybody. James 4:12, “There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?” The Bible DOES teach us to judge as believers, but to judge righteous judgment. John 7:24, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” That is to say, our opinions should always be brought into line (agreement) with the inspired Word of God. Any opinion that goes against God's opinion is heresy.

My heart goes out to Freddie Mercury, because unless there was a miraculous death bed conversion, he went to burn in Hell forever. John 8:24, “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”

The inspired King James Bible teaches in 2nd Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” God does not want even the worst sinner on the planet to spend eternity suffering in a burning furnace in Hell. God wants all humans to repent (i.e., change our mind) from the sin of unbelief, to believing on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:30-31). That is the only means to be born again.

Please understand that I didn't write this blog to cast a negative reflection upon Freddie Mercury, despite the fact that he lived a Sodomistic reckless life of open wickedness and disregard for God his Creator. I wrote this ministry blog in hope of reaching YOU dear friend for Christ. If you have never been born again, then please do so now before it is too late.

It is too late for Freddie, wherever he went in eternity, but it's not too late for you dear reader. At the heathen world's funerals, they always foolishly assume that “he's in a better place now” or “she's in a better place now,” with total disregard for the Holy Scripture. What saith the Scripture? Revelation 20:15, “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Please make sure that you've been born again.

The Accursed Hellbound Roman Catholic Religion

Mark 7:6-9, “He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.”

Kindly said, there is not a more damnable false religion and cult on the planet than Roman Catholicism, whose Satanic organization is located in Rome, Italy. That also includes the Russian Orthodox Catholic religion, whose headquarters is located in Moscow, Russia, but that is for a different article. In this blog I am going to expose the spiritual whore of Roman Catholicism. Satan is a beautiful liar!

The following article titled: “How To Get To Heaven” exists on the Catholic Answers website...

Question:
How do you get to heaven according to the Catholic Church?

Answer:
In short, the Catholic Church teaches that salvation is a gift from God, and the normative way we receive that gift is through the seven sacraments, beginning with baptism (see the Catechism 1113ff.). Sacraments are sensible signs Jesus Christ instituted to confer grace, i.e., divine life (CCC 1131; 1114-16). The sacraments are made possible, first of all, by God’s becoming man in Jesus, and their saving effectiveness is derived from Jesus’ one paschal sacrifice, i.e., his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension (CCC 613, 1085).

Jesus established the Catholic Church as his instrument of salvation through which the faithful are able to receive the sacraments. As a consequence, the Church also teaches that because of God’s saving plan, there is no salvation without the Church Jesus established, and that salvation can include non-Catholics (CCC 846-48).

The Church also teaches that we must freely accept the gift of salvation and persevere in it, for, as St. James teaches, justification is by faith and works and not by faith alone (CCC 162, 1814-16; see also 1854-64). SOURCE

Here is my needful biblical response to the preceding damnable heresy:

1. Catholics falsely teach: “In short, the Catholic Church teaches that salvation is a gift from God, and the normative way we receive that gift is through the seven sacraments, beginning with baptism.” This is FALSE! How can salvation be a “gift” when you have to partake of Seven Sacraments to get it? That is a reward, not a gift! It's an exchange, a trade, but it cannot be a gift if you must do anything other than accept it. Furthermore, where does the Bible teach that partaking of sacraments is the “normative way we receive the gift”? No such false teaching is found in the inspired Word of God. Catholics are liars!
2. Catholics falsely teach: “The sacraments are made possible, first of all, by God’s becoming man in Jesus, and their saving effectiveness is derived from Jesus’ one paschal sacrifice, i.e., his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension.” Again, where does Scripture teach this junk? It doesn't. The word “sacrament” doesn't even appear in the Holy Bible.
3. Catholics falsely teach: “Jesus established the Catholic Church as his instrument of salvation through which the faithful are able to receive the sacraments. As a consequence, the Church also teaches that because of God’s saving plan, there is no salvation without the Church Jesus established.” Nowhere does the Bible sanction the demonic Catholic church with their idolatry and Mary worship, removal of God's Second Commandment, idolization of priests, Baptismal Regeneration heresy, Sacramental Salvation, et cetera. Salvation has never been found  through the Church; but rather, through faith in Jesus Christ alone (John 6:47).
4. Catholics falsely teach: “The Church also teaches that we must freely accept the gift of salvation and persevere in it, for, as St. James teaches, justification is by faith and works and not by faith alone.” There is nothing in the inspired Holy Bible about persevering in works to get salvation. The Apostle James plainly wrote in James 2:10 that breaking even one of God's commandments makes a sinner guilty of violating ALL of them. Even one sin is enough to send a man to Hell, to burn forever! That is why we all need God's imputed righteousness, which comes only through faith in Jesus (Philippians 3:9). James was NOT teaching works for salvation, God forbid. In Roman the Apostle Paul teaches about being justified in the sight of God by faith (Romans 4:1-7); whereas in the Epistle of James the Apostle James speaks about being justified in the eyes of mankind by works. Scripture is very clear that salvation is without works (Romans 3:19-20, 4:4-5, 10:3-4; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5).

It couldn't be more plain to see that the so-called “Roman Catholic church” is a Satanic cult whose god is of the Devil, For doctrines they flagrantly teach the commandments of men, not God's inspired Word. And yet, arrogant Catholics will debate and argue their false religion with a total lack of rationale nor regard for God's inspired Word. Look how Catholics have removed the second of God's commandments not to bow down to statues and graven images. Catholics are deliberately wearing horse blinders! They only see what they want to see.

Please RUN away from the prisonhouse of Roman Catholicism!
