A SUMMARY OF THE DECLARATIONS OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT "Vs" Patrick j miron understanding the wrong truth

  A SUMMARY OF THE

DECLARATIONS OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT

Has the Roman Catholic Church changed its basic doctrinal position in this present ecumenical era? The answer is no, it has not. The Council of Trent was a Catholic council held from 1545-1563 in an attempt to destroy the progress of the Protestant Reformation. This council denied every Reformation doctrine, including Scripture alone and grace alone. 




Trent hurled 125 anathemas (eternal damnations) against Bible-believing Christians.




 These proclamations and anathemas were fleshed out in the murderous persecutions vented upon Bible-believing Christians by Rome, and the solemn fact is that the Council of Trent has never been annulled. The Vatican II Council of the mid-1960s referred to Trent dozens of times, 


quoted Trent’s proclamations as authority, and reaffirmed Trent on every hand. The New Catholic Catechism cites Trent no less than 99 times. 




There is not the slightest hint that the proclamations of the Council of Trent have been abrogated by Rome.




 At the opening of the Second Vatican Council, Pope John XXIII stated, “I do accept entirely all that has been decided and declared at the Council of Trent.” Every cardinal, bishop and priest who participated in the Vatican II Council signed a document affirming Trent.

Fourth session: decree concerning the canonical scriptures:

“If anyone does not accept as sacred and canonical the aforesaid books in their entirety and with all their parts [the 66 books of the Bible plus 12 apocryphal books, being two of Paralipomenon, two of Esdras, Tobias, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, Sophonias, two of Macabees], as they have been accustomed to be read in the Catholic Church and as they are contained in the old Latin Vulgate Edition, and knowingly and deliberately rejects the aforesaid traditions, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA.”

Sixth session, canons concerning justification:

·          “If anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else than confidence in divine mercy, which remits sins for Christ’s sake, or that it is this confidence alone that justifies us, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons Concerning Justification, Canon 12).

·          “If anyone says that the justice received is not preserved and also not increased before God through good works, but that those works are merely the fruits and signs of justification obtained, but not the cause of its increase, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons Concerning Justification, Canon 24).

·          “If anyone says that the Catholic doctrine of justification as set forth by the holy council in the present decree, derogates  in some respect from the glory of God or the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, and does not rather illustrate the truth of our faith and no less the glory of God and of Christ Jesus, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons Concerning Justification, Canon 33).

Seventh session, canons on baptism:

·          “If anyone says that in the Roman Church, which is the mother and mistress of all churches, there is not the true doctrine concerning the sacrament of baptism, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on Baptism, Canon 3).

·          “If anyone says that baptism is optional, that is, not necessary for salvation, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on Baptism, Canon 5).

·          “If anyone says that children, because they have not the act of believing, are not after having received baptism to be numbered among the faithful, and that for this reason are to be rebaptized when they have reached the years of discretion; or that it is better that the baptism of such be omitted than that, while not believing by their own act, they should be baptized in the faith of the Church alone, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on Baptism, Canon 13).

Seventh session, canons on confirmation:

“If anyone says that the confirmation of those baptized is an empty ceremony and not a true and proper sacrament; or that of old it was nothing more than a sort of instruction, whereby those approaching adolescence gave an account of their faith to the Church, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on Confirmation, Canon 1).

Thirteenth session, canons on the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist:

·          “If anyone denies that in the sacrament of the most Holy Eucharist are contained truly, really and substantially the body and blood together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently the whole Christ, but says that He is in it only as in a sign, or figure or force, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, Canon 1).

·          “If anyone says that Christ received in the Eucharist is received spiritually only and not also sacramentally and really, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, Canon 8).

Fourteenth session, canons concerning the most holy sacrament of penance:

·          “If anyone says that in the Catholic Church penance is not truly and properly a sacrament instituted by Christ the Lord for reconciling the faithful of God as often as they fall into sin after baptism, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons Concerning the Most Holy Sacrament of Penance, Canon 1).

·          “If anyone denies that sacramental confession was instituted by divine law or is necessary to salvation; or says that the manner of confessing secretly to a priest alone, which the Catholic Church has always observed from the beginning and still observes, is at variance with the institution and command of Christ and is a human contrivance, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons Concerning the Most Holy Sacrament of Penance, Canon 7).

·          “If anyone says that the confession of all sins as it is observed in the Church is impossible and is a human tradition to be abolished by pious people; or that each and all of the faithful of Christ or either sex are not bound thereto once a year in accordance with the constitution of the great Lateran Council, and that for this reason the faithful of Christ are to be persuaded not to confess during Lent, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons Concerning the Most Holy Sacrament of Penance, Canon 8).

·          “If anyone says that God always pardons the whole penalty together with the guilt and that the satisfaction of penitents is nothing else than the faith by which they perceive that Christ has satisfied for them, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons Concerning the Most Holy Sacrament of Penance, Canon 8).

Twenty-second session, canons on the sacrifice of the mass:

·          “If anyone says that in the mass a true and real sacrifice is not offered to God; or that to be offered is nothing else than that Christ is given to us to eat, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 1).

·          “If anyone says that by those words, Do this for a commemoration of me, Christ did not institute the Apostles priests; or did not ordain that they and other priests should offer His own body and blood, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 2).

·          “If anyone says that the sacrifice of the mass is one only of praise and thanksgiving; or that it is a mere commemoration of the sacrifice consummated on the cross but not a propitiatory one; or that it profits him only who receives, and ought not to be offered for the living and the dead, for sins, punishments, satisfactions, and other necessities, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 3).

·          “If anyone says that it is a deception to celebrate masses in honor of the saints and in order to obtain their intercession with God, as the Church intends, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 5).

Twenty-third session, canons on the sacrament of order:

“If anyone says that there is not in the New Testament a visible and external priesthood, or that there is no power of consecrating and offering the true body and blood of the Lord and of forgiving and retaining sins, but only the office and bare ministry of preaching the Gospel; or that those who do not preach are not priests at all, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 1).

Twenty-third session, canons on the sacrament of order:

“If anyone says that the bishops who are chosen by the authority of the Roman pontiff are not true and legitimate bishops, but merely human deception, LET HIM BE ANATHEMA” (Canons on the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 8).

Twenty-fifth session, decree on purgatory:

“Since the Catholic Church, instructed by the Holy Ghost, has, following the sacred writings and the ancient tradition of the Fathers, taught in sacred councils and very recently in this ecumenical council that there is a purgatory, and that the souls there detained are aided by the suffrages of the faithful and chiefly by the acceptable sacrifice of the altar, the holy council commands the bishops that they strive diligently to the end that the sound doctrine of purgatory, transmitted by the Fathers and sacred councils, be believed and maintained by the faithful of Christ, and be everywhere taught and preached.”

Twenty-fifth session, on the invocation, veneration, and relics of saints, and sacred images:

“The holy council commands all bishops and others who hold the office of teaching and have charge of the cura animarum, that in accordance with the usage of the Catholic and Apostolic Church, received from the primitive times of the Christian religion, and with the unanimous teaching of the holy Fathers and the decrees of sacred councils, they above all instruct the faithful diligently in matters relating to intercession and invocation of the saints, the veneration of relics, and the legitimate use of images, teaching them that the saints who reign together with Christ offer up their prayers to God for men, that it is good and beneficial suppliantly to invoke them and to have recourse to their prayers, assistance and support in order to obtain favors from God through His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who alone is our redeemer and savior; and that they think impiously who deny that the saints who enjoy eternal happiness in heaven are to be invoked, or who assert that they do not pray for men, or that our invocation of them to pray for each of us individually is idolatry, or that it is opposed to the word of God and inconsistent with the honor of the one mediator of God and men, Jesus Christ, or that it is foolish to pray vocally or mentally to those who reign in heaven.”

Spiritual Abuse ---training and education with patrick j Miron

Spiritual Abuse (spir’-i-choo-el a-byoos’).


Wouldn’t it be great if it was as simple as looking it up in a dictionary?

But nothing about spiritual abuse is simple. Those who have experienced it, know it is powerful enough to cause them to question their relationship with God, indeed, the very existence of God.

 And it is subtle too!

 The perpetrators of spiritual abuse are rarely ‘Snidely Whiplash’ sorts of characters who announce that they are going to drain your spiritual energy. They may be people who seem like they are seeking to guide you to the deepest levels of spiritual maturity.
Spiritual abuse occurs when someone in a position of spiritual authority, the purpose of which is to ‘come underneath’ and serve, build, equip and make God’s people MORE free, misuses that authority placing themselves over God’s people to control, coerce or manipulate them for seemingly Godly purposes which are really their own.

The result?

Well, if you have experienced spiritual abuse, you know result.

We hope the resources at this web site will be helpful to you.

The damage that has been done is not irreversible. It is possible to feel safe again. It is possible to learn to rest again. It is possible to regain that sense of blessing you once had when you first realized that God’s stance towards you, God’s ‘yes’, was not based on your performance, but rather on God’s very own performance, that of Jesus, signed, sealed, finished, available in gift-form only.

Eucharist in the Catholic Church with patrick J Miron "Vs" scripture understanding

Healing in the Atonement of Christ

Healing is provided for us in the atonement of Christ. Let me show you the evidence.

The Passover sacrifice offered by the Israelites the night that the firstborn of Egypt died is a type of Christ. Notice 1 Corinthians 5:7: Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

In Exodus 12 you find that the Israelites were instructed to eat the flesh of the Passover lamb to give them strength for their journey out of Egypt.

This is a type of Jesus being the life and health of our physical bodies.

 transubstantiation (from Latin transsubstantiatio) is the change of the substance of bread and wine into that of the body and blood of Christ, the change that, according to the belief of the Catholic Church, occurs in the Eucharist. It concerns what is changed (the substance of the bread and wine), not how the change is brought about.

When at his Last Supper Jesus said: "This is my body", what he held in his hands had all the appearances of bread. However, the Catholic Church teaches that the underlying reality was changed in accordance with what Jesus said, that the "substance" of the bread was converted to that of his body. In other words, it actually was his body, while all the appearances open to the senses or to scientific investigation were still those of bread, exactly as before.

The Church believes that the same change of the substance of the bread and of the wine occurs at every Catholic Mass throughout the world.

Some put forward the idea that transubstantiation is a concept intelligible only in terms of Aristotelian philosophy. But the earliest known use of the term "transubstantiation" to describe the change from bread and wine to body and blood of Christ was by Hildebert de Savardin, Archbishop of Tours (died 1133) in about 1079, long before the Latin West, under the influence especially of Saint Thomas Aquinas (c. 1227-1274), accepted Aristotelianism.

In 2 Chronicles 30:20, the Israelites were healed while partaking of the Passover sacrifice.

In Numbers 21: 8-9, the Israelites were healed while they looked at a serpent that God had Moses put on a pole and hold up for all to see. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live." So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived. Jesus referred to this serpent on a pole as Himself being made our sin in John 3: 14: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. If the type, the serpent on the pole, brought healing to every Israelite that gazed upon it, how much more will Jesus, the anti-type (the fulfillment of the serpent on the pole), minister healing and life to those who come to Him!

Then in Isaiah 53, the great redemptive chapter, we find healing clearly shown in the sacrifice of the Messiah! He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows (pains) and acquainted with grief (sickness). And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses) and carried our sorrows (pains); yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

The words sorrows and griefs should be translated respectively pains and sicknesses in these verses. Any concordance will bear this truth. When Jesus bore our sins, he also bore our sicknesses. He dealt with both the sin and sickness problem with the same sacrifice at Calvary.

Some folk tell us that Isaiah 53: 3-5 is speaking figuratively of our spiritual sins and our spiritual sickness. And that he healing mentioned in Isaiah 53:5 is really spiritual healing. But we don’t need spiritual healing, we need spiritual transformation! We don’t get healed spiritually; we become new creatures in Christ Jesus!

The Father obviously knew that some people would try to spiritualize the healing mentioned in Isaiah 53 and He left us a Divine commentary. Notice Matthew 8: 16-17. It refers directly to Isaiah 53:4! When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses."

Exercise your faith in the Father to heal you today. Believe you receive the healing that Jesus provided in His sacrifice for you. With His stripes you are healed!

Author's Announcement.

A structure of enlightment is to be built in this land, which to finish, every man of intellectual power must contribute.
The structure which I refer to, is the structure of "SPIRITUAL LIBERTY," as the spiritual part of man must have room to expand and grow the same as any other God-given privilege that man is blessed with.
Unless we grow in faith we become dwarfs in the worship of God.
Those who go forth into the world and profess to be the teachers of men should be giants of intellect and fully prepared to contribute to this monument of "SPIRITUAL LIBERTY."
These giants are the "KNIGHTS OF THE SPIRIT," who stand upon the summit of righteousness and proclaim an intelligent God to a sinful world.
Many say they do not feel that they possess the ability to contribute to this structure of "SPIRITUAL LIBERTY," but I say, none who possess the power to reason are exempt, for if they cannot place in the
(6) THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
arch of this structure the golden "key-stone" that shall securely bind this structure together, they can carry mortar or stones, which is as imperative in this structure, as the polished "Cap stone" which shall complete this great pyramid of emancipation.
I do not crave to have my name engraven in bold letters upon the "Cap stone" of this structure, but I do desire to contribute my mite towards the completion of this grand structure of free thought, which, when completed, will stand out upon the horizon of time as a towering monument to Christ and his cause.
Roman Catholicism, as taught by our modern priests and inspired by the papal power at Rome is naught but the distant rumblings of an antiquated chariot of darkness, as the teachings of this MONARCHICAL creed has naught in view but the enslavement of reason for the financial gain and benefit of the "Robed" few who claim the right to think for the masses.
For thirty long years I was bound to this bewitching spirit of darkness by the chords of superstition and never dared to look above my blind superiors for wisdom, until a "something" which I will call "fate" broke the windows of my mental dungeon and permitted the light of "SPIRITUAL LIBERTY" to filter through my being which awoke "reason and common sense" from her long sleep of lethargy.
(7) THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
Now, what I once thought "Holy" I detest as abominable; What I once worshipped, I now hate.
It is not the glitter of gold nor the applaudits of the Protestant world that I crave, but it is the Master's approval, that I desire. Therefore I deem it my duty to both God and mankind to proclaim to the world what I know of the awfulness of Roman Catholicism, and I know enough to make my poor soul often wonder if I shall ever be permitted, to sing with the blest around that GREAT WHITE THRONE in the New Jerusalem.
As you peruse these pages, I pray that you may whisper a prayer to God in my behalf, as I am now fifty-six years old and only a child in wisdom.
With pity for the blind hosts of Catholicism and a prayer upon my lips for their deliverance from the trenches of paganism, I dedicate this book to the world as coming from a heart which poured out its youth's vitality upon the barren fields of superstition, and wasted its vigor in serving only the god of myths. With a feeling of brotherly love for the entire world, I am,
Yours in His name,
BERNARD FRESENBORG.

Chapter I.

Who I Am, What I Am, and Why I Am What I Am.

My parents were Catholics, and for this reason I suppose, is why I became a Catholic Priest.
I was born in Germany, in 1847, thus you see I am now almost what the world would call an old man--56 years old.
A few years ago, I was of the opinion that my life had been well spent, but to-day I firmly believe that the major part of my life has been spent in erroneous doctrines and nonsensical teachings, as the broad light of wisdom and independent thought has penetrated the dark resources of my bewildered conception of right, and has caused me to look upon things in general in an intelligent manner. Therefore, I feel that my youth and the
16 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
vigorous years of my manhood have been spent in what one might term idolatry.
From this time forward I am going to endeavor to undo, as near as possible, what I have helped to accomplish in the past.
In the first place, I desire to give the reader an idea of who I am, as the reader is entitled to this knowledge, and in the second place I want the reader to understand what I am, and in the third place to understand why I am what I am, as there must be a reason for all things.
My ancestors came from Sweden, but becoming tired of religious warfare under Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, they settled in a Catholic colony in Germany, in the southern part of the Dukedom of Oldenburg, near the River Haase.
The reader, if he be a Protestant, is familiar with Protestant affiliations, and I am led to believe belongs to one of the many Protestant denominations, known under the head of Methodist, Baptist, Christian, United Brethren, Presbyterian, Free Baptist. or some one of the many other Protestant
17 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
Churches. Therefore you can easily see why it was that I became. a Catholic, as I was taught it from my infancy.
My father, like his ancestors, lived in Essen, Oldenburg. Essen is a town of considerable trade in grain, in fine Oldenburg horses and Holstein cows, in fact, it is a town noted for its fine stock.
The beautiful town of Essen has a considerable population. Two fine rivers, which unite their rapid waters in its very midst, make it an ideal spot to live.
My relatives were among the first and best families of the Dukedom. These families were by name Dickmann, Meyer, Junker and Mohlenkamp, who are at the head of the intellectual and material movements of that place. They are all related by marriage and intermarriage to the Fresenborgs. My parents had ten children. This, however, may not interest the reader, so I will confine myself to my own biography.
The school to which I was sent was one of the leading schools and had a world-wide reputation, especially of sending many scholars and students
18 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
to the gymnasium and afterwards to universities for different branches of sciences.
It seems as though all of those who attended this school became successful in their individual careers, as lawyers, doctors or some other of the chosen avocations of life.
I was raised, I might say under the walls of the free City of Bremen, and was inspired with the idea of freedom, and this, perhaps, may be the reason why, when I have come to be an old man, that I have shaken off this eternal bondage of Catholicism and launched my boat so late in life upon the broad waters of Protestant freedom.
As the son of a wealthy family, I was sent to the Gymnasium of Vechta for higher studies, where I received the best education which Germany could ,give to her sons, and from there I was dismissed with the diploma of "Maturity" in 1870, which was a passport to any man holding such a diploma in any scholarly community, for a diploma from this institution meant all that it implied.
After I had gone through a perfect study of Gymnasium, and after having obtained my
19 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
diploma, I could then decide for any career that I might choose.
About this time came the disturbance of all of Germany caused by "The German-French War." Like every patriot, I volunteered as a soldier, but the officers in the German army were practical men and they had little use for unseasoned "student soldiers" in the field of action, and I was left in garrisons where universities were situated, where I had military practice for a few hours each day, and then could follow my studies at the same time.
Peace followed quickly after the Waterloo of Napoleon III at Sedan, and this peace was restored quickly in the "fatherland," as not one victorious Frenchman had crossed the "Rhine."
I followed my favorite study, forestry and agriculture, for some time, but as my parents and my forefathers, both on my father's and mother's side, had been devout Catholics, I had an earnest longing to become a Catholic Priest, as I desired to go forth in the world and proclaim the cause of Christ, believing that Catholicism was the only
20 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
church which had a right to establish her doctrines, and, of course, cast my lot with this church, and to-day finds me an old man with every vestige of childhood's faith shaken from center to circumference, as I have lived in America so long and seen so much of the intelligence of Protestantism, and so much of the deception of Catholicism, I could not remain in the Catholic Church and be true to my conception of what was right and wrong, therefore I laid aside, with a degree of regret, the relies of Catholic barbarism.
I discarded the Scapular and everything that has no more intelligent meaning to it than the cungering devices of the heathen has towards the uplifting of humanity and the civilization of the world.
Many, many years ago my faith was shaken by what I had seen with my own eyes and heard with my own cars, but I nursed my religious belief from my mother's bosom; my religion was born and bred in my bones; every drop of blood in my person was electrified in childhood by the cungerings of Catholic ledgerdemain, and I was taught at my
21 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
mother's knee to believe that there was no other church that had a ghost of a chance of eternal salvation but the Catholic Church, and I was taught that all Protestant, were heretics and abominable in the sight of God and sure of eternal damnation, unless they turned from their sins and joined the Catholic Church.
Oftimes I would have my faith shaken by the actions of some lustful priest, but I clung tenaciously to the religion of my mother and refused to look beyond the horizon of Catholic superstition.
About the time that I had fully made up my mind to become a priest, I had my faith shaken in the priesthood to a great extent by a scandalous happening near the College of Vechta, which concerned and strictly involved one of the great dignitaries of Catholicism in my college town, but I fought this feeling of dislike down and forced myself to believe that what a priest or bishop did was all right in the sight of God, but at the same time I had a feeling of distrust, as I could not reconcile myself to believe that God would look with compassion upon the acts of a dignitary more
22 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
readily than he would upon the transgressions of his blind and duped followers, but nevertheless I went ahead and prepared myself for the priesthood, which I followed for thirty years.
Right directly opposite the college which I was attending resided the Very Rev. Herold. This reverend gentleman was a high dignitary in the Catholic Church.
We young priests had often heard it whispered about that Priest Harold had in his house at different times a number of concubines, which are nothing more nor less than lude women. We often saw ladies around the mansion, dressed in the very height of fashion, and their actions led us to believe that they were there at the solicitation of Rev. Harold, as they were seen there at all times of the day and night, and this certainly made a very strange impression upon us young students, as there were so many different faces; one day we would see two or three young girls, and the next day the same number would be about the mansion, but different faces. All of we young students endeavored not to believe the rumor, as we were
23 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
Catholics in every sense of the word, and we did not want to believe that anything so degrading would be tolerated in the very mansion of one of the officials who were teaching us.
The acts of this dignitary became so flagrant that even the students who were trying not to believe the scandal were forced to believe there was something wrong about the mansion of this Catholic dignitary.
About this time there was a young priest by the name of Wulf, from Rome, who was sent to Vechta and made secretary of this dignitary's mansion, who, during the day, worked in the office of the mansion, where court was held in cases of the Catholic Church and schools.
He was soon familiar in and about the mansion and the surrounding grounds and was given many privileges, and the dignitary seemed to like him because he did not meddle with his vile conduct, and the ladies who frequented this place also seemed to admire him. There was a large lawn surrounding the mansion and at night-time a number of vicious dogs were unchained to guard it.
24 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
The priest that was sent from Rome was soon on familiar terms with the dogs and they would mind him and became as obedient as children, and he was soon on such good terms with these dogs that he could approach the house at any time, day or night, and one word from him would cause them to sneak off to their kennels and not molest any who desired to approach the mansion.
The young priests of this college were determined to learn, if possible, if this Catholic dignitary was guilty of the immoral conduct that he was accused of, so they went to Wulf and explained to him that they desired to make a personal investigation, and got this young priest to promise that he would let them into the grounds one night and also see that the dogs did not molest them.
We selected a dark night and a few of us young priests slipped into the lawn surrounding the mansion and placed a ladder up to the second story window, as there was a bright light inside, and we determined to learn, if possible, what was going on in this room.
25 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
Dr. Wulf, the secretary, was the first to ascend, and there in this room was the dignitary of the Catholic Church in a half drunken condition, with two licentious and lude women, playing cards and drinking wine, and the trio were in a half nude condition, and frequently this dignitary of the Catholic Church would kiss these harlots.
After Dr. Wulf came down the ladder and told what he had seen, of course the rest of us wished to become eye witnesses to the perfidy of this vagabond of the Catholic Church.
We would take time about going up the ladder to look at this sight, and sometimes one would remain so long at the top of the ladder the others would become restless and urge him to come down and give the rest of us a chance.
It seemed as though this Catholic dignitary and the women up stairs within had implicit confidence in the dogs, and had no fear of detection in their drunken orgie of immorality. This dignitary seemed very drunk, and the ladies began to undress him preparatory to putting him to bed. When
26 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
they had him undressed, one of them pulled off her clothes and went to bed with him.
The next morning the report in the form of affidavits was presented to the parents of the girls, which caused a very great sensation, and this bundle of infamy and abomination was forced to leave the city by the parents of these daughters whom he had desecrated by his filthy touch.
It was afterwards learned that this state of affairs had existed in this Catholic mansion for years past, and all that had transpired in this mansion would blush the inhabitants of Sodom if it could be told, but it is so filthy that it could not be repeated by any one who had much respect for himself.
After this dignitary had left the mansion there were a number of children's skeletons unearthed in the park belonging to the mansion, and one child's skeleton was found in the waters surrounding the palace.
No one was ever arrested for this awful, awful crime, as this Catholic dignitary fled to some monastery and there was concealed from the law's
27 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
clutch, as there is no law whereby these monasteries can be forced open and their criminals brought to justice.
A monastery is a Catholic institution that may be used for divers purposes, but for one great purpose, and a very heinous purpose, is to hide and conceal Catholic officials who break the laws of their country, as they can flee to these monasteries and there hide themselves from the wrath of the civil government.
It makes no difference how vile the culprits may be, these Catholic institutions are always a refuge for them, and especially if the culprit who has money or friends supply them with same, as the Catholic Church is and always has been a great money machine, as money, in the eyes of the Catholic dignitaries, covers up a multitude of sins.
You may not know it, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that the monasteries never allow the officers of the civil laws to enter, and suppose the officers did enter, the culprit would never be found, as Catholic institutions are built with the purpose of sheltering her abominable faithless in case these
28 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
criminals desire to hide themselves therein, as the convents, monasteries and cloisters have a labyrinth which would mystify any one who was not used to these underground passages.
No one ever learned where the dignitary of this Catholic institution at Vechta went, but we were thoroughly convinced that he was hiding somewhere in a monastery.
At this point in my religious training I perceived the nonsense of celibacy, and the Apostle's injunction: "Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband." (I Cor. 7: 2.) But the teachings of my childhood caused me to believe that it would be sacrilegious upon my part to even allow myself to believe that the Pope of Rome could possibly make a mistake, therefore I did as all true Catholics are expected to do, and forced myself to believe that all of the abominations practiced by this church were godly.
At this time I would conceal myself in privacy and endeavor to reason why a minister of the gospel should be expected to do things which were
29 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
unnatural and against the direct teachings of God, as we find in Gen. 21:18 that our Creator said: "It is not good that man should be alone, I will make a helpmate for him," but whenever I would undertake to study and try to convince myself of the erroneousness of the Catholic doctrines, her teachings would loom up and blind my intelligent conception of things, as I had been taught that I should not question a single mandate that the Pope of Rome should see fit to promulgate, therefore I made up my mind that it was a sin for me to use the intelligence that God had given me, and I resolved to follow the Catholic doctrine, regardless of what it might lead me to, consequently I closed my eyes to reason and common sense and became a blind and superstitious, follower of Rome.
When I came to America I beheld her great civilization and at once my conception of intelligent action presented itself again, but I fought hard to drive these feelings from my bosom, but the more I fought the stronger I became convinced that I was wrong and that my early training was wrong, and that the entire machinery and mechanism
30 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
of the Catholic Church was founded upon abominations and superstitions, but the teachings of my mother would prevail and I would slink back into the trenches of Catholicism, and there I remained until less than a year ago, when I resolved to burst the bands of iniquity and walk out upon the plains of Protestantism, regardless of the deep feelings of respect that I had for my early training.
If God is an intelligent God, then we are expected to worship Him in an intelligent manner, and if he is not an intelligent God, it is impossible for Him to be a God, and if the Lord of Hosts is an intelligent Creator and expects us, as His children, to worship Him in an intelligent manner, the Catholic Church and all of her followers are sinning against God every day, as her mode of worship is steeped in the drugs of heathenish superstitions.
In this volume I propose to set forth nothing but absolute truths, and I call upon an intelligent God for my witness, and I am qualified to make oath before any official that is qualified to bind me
31 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
under oath that every word that appears in this volume shall be the truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
I will give $5,000.00 to any charitable institution named by any state of the United States if any Catholic priest, bishop or cardinal will prove by any of their church doctrines that I have mis-stated or misrepresented the teachings of Catholicism in any letter, word or sentence.
I want to thoroughly impress the reader with the truthfulness of this volume, so when be or she has perused these pages they may know that it has been written by one who has served in the capacity of a Catholic priest for the past thirty years, but who, to-day, stands out upon the broad plains of spiritual emancipation, and from this time forward will always be found upon the side of spiritual liberty and following, the doctrines of an intelligent God, and when my earthly race is run I hope and pray to be ushered into the presence of an intelligent God.

Chapter II

Some of the Abominations of Catholicism Carried On in the Name of Our Blessed Saviour.

What I will now relate is not hear-say nor something that I have read about, but it is something that I know about, and which I witnessed.
It is a well-known fact that Catholicism endeavors to impress her subjects with the miraculousness of latter day miracles, as she will hold up the bones of some supposed Catholic Saint, and declare to her benighted followers that if they worship these relies they will work wonders and cure the ailment of any affliction they may be possessed of.
For instance, they will take the bone of some Catholic Saint (?) and admonish the followers of Catholicism to touch this bone, or to kiss it, and declare to them that by so doing they will become
34 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
entirely cured of any malady that may rack their person with misery.
In fact, Catholicism will resort to all kinds of nonsensical practices in order to completely keep their subjects in darkest ignorance, which will enable the officials to "hodwink" their followers and make them believe anything the officials see fit to teach them.
I will now relate what I saw in Munster, Germany. The news spread all through Germany that the "Mother Superior" of the house of Saint Clement was living upon "Holy Communion" only.
Now that, the reader may understand what "Holy Communion" is, I will here state that it is a thin wafer, used for sacramental purposes, which would not weigh more than the one-hundredth part of an ounce, and this is what they claimed the Mother Superior of the house of Saint Clement was existing upon, she only taking one of these wafers every twenty-four hours.
Of course, this was given out by the dignitaries of the Catholic Church in order to blind their
35 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
followers, and I desire to state right here that I also believed that this was the fact until it was demonstrated thoroughly that it was an infamous lie and that the instigators were infamous impostors. However, pilgrimages started from all directions to see this "Mother Superior," and when they could not see her, they fought for the opportunity of praying in her chapel. Some stayed for weeks and weeks to see her. Applications for intercessions of all kinds of misery were sent to her, as these simple ""dupes" of Catholicism 'actually believed that this impostor-had the power to heal any ailment that might afflict them.
There were thousands of fanatics who visited Munster and hung their crutches on the chapel walls and declared they were cured of their, ailment. The blind claimed to see by her intercessions. lt was claimed that all, possessed o every kind and description of ailments, could be cured if the one who was afflicted only had faith in this Mother Superior's wonderful power?
"The finger of God is in the land!" was the cry,
36 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
and tens of thousands of Catholics from all over the country gathered in Munster.
There was a certain man by the name of Friedhoff who doubted the proclaimed powers of this Mother Superior and boldly declared his doubt, and the Catholic world was indignant over the audacity of such a doubt. It was learned that the Mother Superior would allow but one sister of the institution to come to her room, and also her Father Confessor. By the way, it might be pertinent to say that the Mother Superior was an extremely handsome young lady; in fact, very young for the position she occupied.
The guard that was placed over the Mother Superior was given instructions by the Mayor of Munster to watch her closely and see that she lived entirely upon "Holy Communion." The Protestant world took an active part in this matter and gave close attention to the guard that was over this "Mother Superior," as they were determined to learn from whence originated this bold deception, as they were thoroughly convinced that it was nothing more nor less than a deception.
37 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
The confessor of the "Mother Superior" was changed and the sister who waited upon her was changed, and in a very short time the "Mother Superior" asked for food; thus it began to dawn upon the public at large that they had been grossly deceived, and they began to learn that all of these miraculous cures (?) were brought about and promulgated by the leaders of Catholicism. Numerous physicians were taken into confidence and an examination was made of the "Mother Superior," and it was learned that she was pregnant, and it was proven that the child belonged to the priest in charge of the convent, who, by the way, was the one this "Mother Superior" confessed her sins to.
This "Mother Superior" sat in her room and gave her orders to at least two hundred sisters who were inmates of this institution.
The Catholic world advertised this "fake" so thoroughly that every house in and about Munster was filled to overflowing with pilgrims who came there on the strength of this well-advertised fake."
Munster was the Mecca. Every train arriving
38 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
brought in hundreds and added great multitudes to the already great crowd. Some claimed that the. sight of the chapel, or even the sight of the hospital, healed them.
Even the newspapers began to report the wonderful miracles (?) that were-performed by this "Mother Superior."
By this time the Protestants in Munster were getting very active and denounced this worship in round terms, and set about to have an investigation made, which was bitterly opposed by the Catholics. The hotel keepers and shop keepers of Munster were bitterly opposed to the Protestants' denunciation, as they were, anxious for this "fake" to be advertised as thoroughly as possible, as. it was bringing them in large revenues, as the thousands who were visiting Munster were compelled to have raiment, food and lodging; but the denunciation of this "fake" by the Protestants became so great that the bishop was 'compelled, greatly against the wishes of the citizens of Munster, to investigate, and this investigation brought forth enough to startle the civilized world. However,
39 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
it is only one of the many, many colossal "fakes" that are promulgated by Catholicism. However, the clamor of the 'Protestant world brought things to a crisis, as the "Mother Superior" was ordered to stay in strict confinement and a watch was placed over her.
This brought matters to a climax and I the "Mother Superior" confessed that one of the inmates of the convent had secretly carried her food during all of this time that she wag claiming to exist on "Holy Communion." Of course, this is only one. of the tens of thousands of such schemes that are practiced by Catholicism all over the world, and the Protestants were not surprised and stated boldly and above board that they knew there was some "scull-duggery" attached to all of this fake miracle business.
This "Mother Superior" fled from Munster, and it was learned that she went to the City Rheine, on the river Ems, and gave birth to a child, and the father of this child was the Catholic priest in charge of this convent, who helped and, was the prime instigator in giving out to the world
40 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
that the "Mother Superior" was performing miracles, which was a malicious lie made of whole cloth and promulgated in order to securely bind the followers of Catholicism to their Idolatrous belief.
This is not the end of the "Mother Superior," as she afterwards practiced in the open what she had practiced in this Catholic convent at Munster, as she entered a. house of ill fame in the City of Rheine in Germany, and there led a life of shame as a harlot of the world; however, she was only living the same life she had been living when she was sailing under the name of "Mother Superior" in this convent at Munster.
Now, reader, if Catholicism would practice such abominations upon the ignorant dupes of her followers in Munster, Germany, is it not reasonable to suppose that she would practice them to-day wherever she can fasten her hellish belief upon the minds of the people!
Hardly a day passes over our heads but what we, see in some newspaper where Catholicism is brazenly declaring to the intelligent public that
41 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
miraculous cures are being performed by some "hoodoo saint" of their idolatrous creed.
One would believe that in enlightened America the Roman Church could not wield such an idolatrous influence over her followers, but when you stop to think that the children of Catholic parents are brought up from infancy to believe all of this "hoodooism," it is not strange that they fall into these idolatrous practices.
When America learns that the majority of the convents and monasteries of this country are used for the purpose of shielding and protecting Catholic criminals, and for the purpose of Catholic dignitaries to glut their lust upon the female inmates of these institutions, and will exact and demand laws that will force a rigid examination every thirty or sixty days of these institutions, then the world at large will know and thoroughly understand that these institutions are practically the homes of depravity and licentiousness.
To give the reader more information in regard to what Catholicism resorts to to impress their "dupes" with their idolatry, we want to take up
42 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
their great magician, "St. Anthony." The Catholic priesthood teaches their followers that St. Anthony's spirit possesses the power' to answer all prayers, in fact, to perform any favor the supplicant may ask.
Now, to illustrate what I mean, is this: Suppose you had lost your pocketbook containing $50.00; the Catholic Church teaches that all you have to do is to pay a few dimes into the priest's pocket and then get down and pray to St. Anthony and you will at once learn where your pocketbook is.
Now, bear in mind that this praying to St. Anthony don't cut any ice unless you pay something, as every prayer must be backed up by money, and the more money paid the quicker action you can get on St. Anthony.
The Catholic Church calls it "St. Anthony's Bread Box," and right by the side of this box they have a large number of small candies, and you are supposed to drop the money into this box to pay for the candles that St. Anthony uses when looking for what is lost, or to light his path on his road to answer your prayer.
43 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
These candles cost the priest from one-half cent to one cent each, and the "dupe" will drop in from ten cents to ten dollars to have his prayer answered, so you can see that the Catholic Church is a good thing for the candle makers.
We will now give you a few idiotic prayers that are offered to St. Anthony by the followers of blind Catholicism.
"O, Glorious St. Anthony, noble Sunflower of divine conformity, I salute thee in the name of the Queen of Angels and of all the angelic choirs; and I thank Almighty God for the grace bestowed on thee, that like to this Great Queen and the angelic choir's thou wert ever conformed to His holy will. I beseech thee that with this glorious Lady and all the angelic choirs, thou wouldst approach the throne of God, lovingly offer Him this my petition and strengthen it by thine intercession.
"OUR FATHER. HAIL, MARY. GLORY."
"I salute thee, Blessed Anthony, noble Narcissus-flower of knowledge, in the name of all the patriarchs and prophets; and I thank the good God for bestowing on thee, like to the patriarchs and
44 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
prophets, the gift of divine knowledge and of foreseeing future events. I beseech thee that with the patriarchs and prophets thou wouldst approach the throne of God and by your united prayers and merits obtain for me this my petition.
"OUR FATHER. HALL, MARY. GLORY."
"I salute thee, Blessed Anthony, noble Carnation-flower of fervent love, in the name of all the holy apostles and disciples of Christ; and I thank the most merciful Lord for the great grace bestowed on thee, like unto that of the apostles and disciples, when He chose thee to proclaim the holy Gospel and to spread the Christian faith. I beseech thee that with the apostles and disciples thou wouldst approach the throne of God and by your united prayers and merits obtain for me this my petition.
"OUR FATHER. HAIL, MARY. GLORY."
We will give you an instance of this " St. Anthony's" witchcraft business that came under my personal observation. A lady was standing upon a bridge that spans one of the many streams that rushes down from the Adirondack Mountains, gazing
45 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
at this crystal stream and watching the fishes below, and while standing there she was toying with a beautiful diamond ring that had been given her by her lover. In a careless manner she allowed this ring to slip from her finger, and it fell into the waters below.
With a sudden cry those who were near her were attracted to the spot and she explained to them her misfortune, and it was not long until there was quite a crowd about her, offering their sympathy and also their assistance.
Some volunteered to wade into this stream and search for the ring, which was done, and a number of buckets of mud were carried up out of the stream from the point the lady had stated she had dropped her ring, but the ring could not be found.
At this point one of our Catholic "dupes" appeared and explained to the lady that if she would put her trust in St. Anthony and would pay $500, that St. Anthony would restore to her her ring.
This lady being a Catholic also, of course, was easily persuaded to do this, so they knelt down and prayed to St. Anthony and beseeched him to
46 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
restore the lost treasure, and it was not long until all of those in the crowd that belonged to the Catholic Church were in sympathy with this distressed lady, and they were also kneeling and supplicating St. Anthony to restore the lost treasure. They prayed for an hour, but still the lost treasure would not appear; then the ringleader of this barbarous belief informed this lady that the ring had been swallowed by a fish. He pretended to be inspired and claimed that he could catch this identical fish with the bait of St. Anthony's bread. Everything was soon prepared and the line was let down into the water, and sure enough a good sized fish was caught upon this St. Anthony's bait, and the crowd went into rapturous delight, as they were quite sure they had the identical fish that had swallowed the ring.
As soon as the fish was caught a collection was raised by a priest who was in the crowd for the benefit of "St. Anthony's Bread Box." All of the Catholics in the crowd contributed, of course, as they were afraid not to, for Catholics believe that if they do not do what a priest tells them to
47 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
they are sure to have something awful befall them, and, of course, all of these Catholics believed ill the witchcraft of St. Anthony and believed that he was the actual restorer of all lost things.
The Protestants in the congregation were determined to see what was inside of the fish, so they followed the one that carried it to a butchershop and the fish was cut open, but naught was found in it but what is usually found in any old fish that never saw or heard tell of a diamond ring.
Now, this is one of the thousands--yea, tens of thousands of such instances that are forced down the throats of the ignorant, superstitious followers of Catholicism.
Now, what I relate above is true in every conceivable manner, and not one sentence or statement is misrepresented.
This belief in the power of St. Anthony is simply abominable and belongs to the dark ages of heathendom.
I have often wondered when I was acting as priest ill the Catholic Church wily it was that Protestants, when they attended my church, would
48 THIRTY YEARS IN HELL
look on in wonderment and surprise, and I attributed this wonderment to a desire upon the part of Protestantism to make fun and vilify the teachings of the Catholic Church, but I now realize that this bewilderment came from minds which had been elevated far above the cungerings of the Catholic Church, and I am now surprised that the Protestants who visit Catholic churches are not more bewildered and mystified, as the teachings of Protestantism are based upon the inspirations derived from the Word of God, and the teachings Of Catholicism are naught but the rumblings of the dark ages.

The ONLY "key" to Heaven is the Gospel of Christ Jesus; hence, the preaching of the Gospel distributes the keys which allow men to become saved and enter Heaven.

Damnable Lutheran Doctrines

by David J. Stewart

The Lutheran religion is nothing less than diet Catholicism, i.e., you get the same poison of Catholicism, just less of it.  The Lutheran religion is straight from Satan himself.  Jesus never commanded us to follow any man's teachings over the Word of God. 
The damnable heresies which were taught by Martin Luther are still followed by the Lutheran Church today; but to their own destruction...

"...which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." -2nd Peter 3:9

The Damnable Heresy of Salvation Through the Holy Communion
The following quote is from Luther's Small Catechism, as promoted by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).  The quote is found under the section, "THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY COMMUNION"; and then under the subheading, "THE BLESSINGS OF HOLY COMMUNION":

"Second: What blessing do we receive through this eating and drinking and drinking?
That is shown us by these words, 'Given and poured out for you for the forgiveness of sins.' Through these words we receive forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation in this sacrament. For where there is forgiveness of sins, there is also life and salvation." (underline added)

What blasphemy!!!  There is not one single Verse in the entire Word of God which teaches that salvation comes through "Holy Communion."  In fact, the phrase "Holy Communion" is NOT found in the Bible at all.  The Bible speaks of "communion" in 1st Corinthians 10:26, "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?"  The Greek word for "communion" is "koinonia," which means, "partnership. i.e. (lit.) participation." 
Thus, a person "participates" in the sin-cleansing blood of Jesus Christ through faith in Christ alone; and not, by works or the Lord's Supper.  Paul was simply teaching the believers at Corinth that they were saved by the blood of Jesus, and were being hypocritical to partake of the Lord's supper while also eating meats offered to idols (partaking of idolatry).  Paul told them that it was impossible to eat at God's table and the Devil's, "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils." 
Tragically, this is exactly what the Catholic and Lutheran religions are doing today when they RECOGNIZE Mary in ANY capacity.  Mary was a dirty-rotten sinner who died because of her sins (Romans 6:23).  Jesus called John the Baptist the greatest human being ever born amongst women (Matthew 11:11), so why recognize Mary?  Jesus said that the least person in Heaven will be greater than John the Baptist.  Mary is no more special than anyone else in Heaven.  It is unscriptural and sinful to recognize Mary in any way, shape, or form.
1st Corinthians 10:16 must NOT be interpreted by itself.  Basing a doctrine upon this Scripture alone could easily result in a damnable heresy, which is exactly what Mr. Luther has done.  1st Corinthians 11:25 clearly states, "After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in REMEMBRANCE of me." 
Paul was quoting Christ when in Luke 22:19 Jesus said, "...This is my body which is given for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me."  The Word of God plainly teaches that the Lord's Supper is simply a means to REMEMBER what Christ did for us upon Calvary, no more.  To claim, as Lutheran's do, that there is some special power to the Lord's Supper is a Satanic lie. 
The following quote is from Luther's Small Catechism, as promoted by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).  The quote is also found under the section, "THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY COMMUNION"; and then under the subheading, "THE POWER OF HOLY COMMUNION":

"Third: How can eating and drinking do such great things?
It is certainly not the eating and drinking that does such things, but the words, "Given and poured out for you for the forgiveness of sins. "These words are the main thing in this sacrament, along with the eating and drinking. And whoever believes these words has what they plainly say, the forgiveness of sins." (underline added)

What a lie of Satan!!!  No such nonsense is taught in the Bible.  This is ceremonialism, not faith in Christ.  You can't be saved by the citing of some words.  Notice carefully how Satan has actually replaced faith in Jesus Christ, with faith in a statement.  The Bible NEVER leads us to place our faith in the words of some Lutheran minister. 
The Bible never leads us to place our faith in the Lord's Supper.  If it were so, then Jesus and the Apostles would have continually told people to partake of the Lord's supper to be saved.  In fact, only a handful of references are made in the entire Bible to the Lord's Supper (communion).  The phrase "Given and poured out for you for the forgiveness of sins" doesn't even appear in the Word of God, not even portions of it.  "Given and poured" does not exist.  "Poured out for you" does not exist.  These are the words of a religion; and NOT from the Bible. 
The word "holy" is NEVER used concerning Baptism or the Lord's Supper.  Never!  The Lord's Supper is ONLY symbolic of the flesh and blood of Christ, which was sacrificed to take away our sins.  Only through faith alone in Christ can anyone be saved (John 14:6).

The Damnable Heresy of Confessing Your Sins to a Lutheran Minister
The following quote is from Luther's Small Catechism, as promoted by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).  The quote is also found under the section, "THE MINISTRY OF THE KEYS AND CONFESSION"; and then under the subheading, "THE KEYS":

"First: What is the use of the Keys?
The use of the Keys is that special power and right which Christ gave to his church on earth, to forgive the sins of penitent sinners but to refuse forgiveness to the impenitent as long as they do not repent.
Where is this written?
The holy Evangelist John writes in chapter 20, "Jesus breathed on his disciples and said, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."

How arrogant!, How blasphemous!, How damnable!, for any human being to claim the power to forgive sins.  Not one Verse in the entire Word of God records anyone forgiving sin apart from Jesus Christ alone.  If the Lord had given this power to the Apostles, then why isn't it recorded?  No, Jesus never gave such power to the church. 

The Lutheran minister and the Catholic priest arrogantly and sinfully proclaim that they have the "special power and right" to forgive sins; but they certainly do NOT.  They also claim the "special power and right" to deny forgiveness of sins to the impenitent; but, again, they certainly do NOT. 

This is clear from the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:15, "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."  Ephesians 4:32 reads, "...forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." 

Who would be so arrogant as to deny someone forgiveness in lieu of such clear teachings of Scripture?  If you'll follow me carefully, and think this through, you'll come to the ONLY conclusion that is possible--Forgiveness of sins can only come through faith in Jesus Christ. 

In other words, even if a minister or priest wants to forgive someone, they CANNOT if that person has no faith in Christ as Saviour. 

And likewise, no Lutheran minister or Catholic priest can deny forgiveness to someone who is trusting upon the blood of Jesus to forgive them.  I'm simply saying that forgiveness is out of the minister's or priest's hand.

  Romans 1:16 tells us that the Gospel is the POWER unto salvation. 

Listen friend, you can confess sins to your Lutheran minister or Catholic priest 'til the cows come home if you want, but that won't get you forgiven. 

Romans 1:16 declares that forgiveness comes through the power of the GOSPEL, and nothing else.  The Gospel being Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. 
In so doing, Christ shed His precious blood for our sins.  If we simply believe upon Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour, trusting upon the finished work of Christ to take away our sins with His blood, our sins will be forgiven.  How dare any stiff-necked minister or priest teach differently.   You can't be fooled if you'll follow the Word of God my friend.

John 20:23 is used by the Lutheran minister and the Catholic priest to claim they have power to forgive your sins. 

I want you to notice carefully here that the EXACT same Greek word "aphiemi," which is used in John 20:23, is also used in Matthew 6:12, "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." 

The word literally means, "to send forth" (i.e., to "let go").  When we forgive our debtors, we "let it go." 

Again, in Matthew 6:14 and 15 we read, "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." 

hese are from the EXACT same Greek word, "aphiemi," found in John 20:23.  Hence, ministers and priests have no more ability to pardon other people's sins than laymen do.  Clearly, we have been lied to by Lutheran ministers and Catholic Priests! 

Every believer is commanded by God to "forgive" (aphiemi) other's sins (Ephesians 4:30-32).  Please understand that no human can cleanse another human's sins away.  No minister or priest can make you right with God. 

If you commit a sin against me, and then make restitution, asking for my forgiveness--I am commanded by God to forgive (aphiemi) you; but that doesn't mean you're now saved and on your way to Heaven. 

I cannot save you or make you right with God, you MUST go through Jesus Christ, Who is the ONLY Mediator between God and men, "For there is one God, and ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 

Clearly, the forgiveness offered from one human to another CANNOT substitute one's need for forgiveness from God.

The Word of God is clear that ONLY God can forgive sin, "...who can forgive sins but God only?" (Mark 2:7).  So what was Jesus saying to the Apostles in John 20:23?  Since Jesus spoke about people NOT being forgiven, there is only one thing He could have been talking about, the Gospel. The same is true of

Matthew 16:19 concerning the word "key," and again in Matthew 18:18 concerning the word "bind." 

The ONLY "key" to Heaven is the Gospel of Christ Jesus; hence, the preaching of the Gospel distributes the keys which allow men to become saved and enter Heaven. 

VINE'S EXPOSITORY DICTIONARY OF GREEK NEW TESTAMENT WORDS says concerning the word "key in Matthew 16:19...

" 'a key,' is used metaphorically (a) of "the keys of the kingdom of heaven," which the Lord committed to Peter, Matt. 16:19, by which he would open the door of faith, as he did to the Jews at Pentecost, and to Gentiles in the person of Cornelius, acting as one commissioned by Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit; he had precedence over his fellow disciples, not in authority, but in the matter of time, on the ground of his confession of Christ (v. 16); equal authority was committed to them (18:18); (b) of "the keys of knowledge," Luke 11:52, i.e., knowledge of the revealed will of God, by which men entered into the life that pleases God; this the religious leaders of the Jews had presumptuously "taken away," so that they neither entered in themselves, nor permitted their hearers to do so..."

Clearly, the "key" which Jesus spoke of is, the Gospel. 

The POWER of the Gospel in Romans 1:16 is the key that frees us from the bondage of sin, the condemnation of the Law, the fires of Hell, and the lies of false religions which lay burdens "grievous to be borne" upon men's shoulders (Matthew 23:4). 

But again, there is no reference to ministers or priests being given the "special power and right" to forgive sin.  To teach such nonsense is to neglect hundreds of Scriptures which do NOT agree.  We can forgive other's their debts, foolishness, wrongs, trespasses, and evil's against us; but only God alone can forgive SIN.  Come down off your pedestal Mr. Lutheran minister.  

Only Jesus can forgive sin (1st Timothy 2:5).

The Bible commands us to forgive those who seek our forgiveness (Matthew 6:14 and 15), so Jesus couldn't have been speaking about personal forgiveness in John 20:23.  Furthermore, it wasn't the "special power and right" of the disciples to decide whether a man was forgiven or not, that POWER is clearly stated in Romans 1:16 to be THE GOSPEL. 

Listen to the frightening words of the Apostle Paul in 2nd Thessalonians 1:8,9 to all Christ-rejecters, "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..."  Clearly, the determination of whether a person is forgiven or not is based upon his or her acceptance or rejection of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; and not, upon the whims of some earthly pompous Lutheran minister or Catholic priest.  You had better obey the Gospel, and not the Lutheran religion. 

Martin Luther is burning in the fires of Hell right now for His damnable beliefs.  Mr. Luther made the woeful error of ADDING to God's simple plan of salvation, which is faith alone in Jesus the Christ.

The following quote is from Luther's Small Catechism, as promoted by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).  The quote is also found under the section, "THE MINISTRY OF THE KEYS AND CONFESSION"; and then under the subheading, "WHAT IS CONFESSION?":

First: What is Confession?

Confession has two parts. The one is that we confess our sins; the other, that we receive absolution or forgiveness from the pastor* as from God himself, not doubting but firmly believing that our sins are thus forgiven before God in heaven.

Fourth: How will the pastor assure a penitent sinner of forgiveness?
He will say, "By the authority of Christ, I forgive you your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen." (underline added)

*The German term is best translated as 'confessor," that is, the person who hears the confession.

I've included this last section of the Lutheran Catechism to show how arrogant their ministers are, to actually claim that they have the power to forgive sins.  How wicked!  Mr. Luther, you are an imposter!  You won't fool me with your damnable teachings, no Sir!  I'm going to follow the Word of God, and not a man (Romans 3:4; Psalm 118:8).  EVERY Lutheran minister is required and expected by headquarters to TEACH that they (ministers) have the power to forgive sin. 

To teach such a lie is a damnable heresy!!! 

Notice Luther's Catechism above states, "we receive absolution or forgiveness from the pastor."  You've got to be kidding me brother!  Only a child of the Devil would claim to have the power and right to forgive another person's sin.  I have a few questions for you.  Who does the Lutheran minister go to, to get his sins forgiven?  Who does his wife and children go to, to get their sins forgiven?  Why can't we go directly to God like the publican in Luke 18:13 who cried, "God be merciful to me a sinner."  Are you so foolish to buy into Satan's lie that another sinful man can forgive your sins? 

Do a little homework and I'm certain you'll find that EVERY Lutheran minister and Catholic priest which lived 150 years ago are DEAD today.  Do you know why?  Because Romans 6:23 proclaims "for the wages of sin is death..."  They died because they were SINNERS, just like you and me.  Listen friend, I don't know about you, but I feel a lot more secure trusting in the Perfect Lamb of God, Who died upon the cross for me; than in some sinful minister, who never did anything for me, nor could do anything for me. 

Are you going to place all your faith in the hopes that some Lutheran minister has the self-proclaimed power to forgive your sins?  Would you feel safer hearing a sinful minister say, "I forgive your sins"; or the words of Hebrews 4:16, "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy..."

The Damnable Heresy of Salvation Through Holy Baptism

The following quote is from Luther's Small Catechism, as promoted by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).  The quote is also found under the section, "THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY BAPTISM"; and then under the subheading, "THE BLESSING OF BAPTISM":

Second: What does Baptism do for us?
Baptism works forgiveness of sin, delivers from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare. What are these words and promises of God? Christ our Lord says in the last chapter of Mark, "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." (underline added)

What a damnable lie of Satan!!!  Not one verse in the entire Bible teaches that "Baptism works forgiveness of sin."
The following quote is from Luther's Small Catechism, as promoted by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).  The quote is also found under the section, "THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY BAPTISM"; and then under the subheading, "THE POWER OF BAPTISM":

"Third: How can water do such great things?
It is certainly not the water that does such things, but God's Word which is in and with the water, and faith which trusts this Word used with the water. For without God's Word the water is just plain water and not baptism. But with this Word it is baptism, that is, a gracious water of life and a washing of rebirth by the Holy Spirit.
Where is this written?
St. Paul says in Titus, chapter 3, "God saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying." (underline added)

I don't know what Martin Luther was smoking, but he's way out in left field. 

The Scriptures quoted above are being taken out of context.  A standard rule in interpreting the Word of God is that you NEVER base a doctrine upon one Scripture by itself.  You COMPARE it to all the other Scriptures in the Bible. 

Titus 3:5 clearly speaks of the "washing of regeneration," not the washing by Baptism.  Revelation 1:5 declares, "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood."  It is clear from this Scripture that "washing" is speaking about Jesus' blood, and not baptism.  It may be convenient for Lutherans to "claim" that Titus 3:5 is speaking about baptism, but a simple comparison of Titus 3:5 with other Scriptures in the Bible denies their foolish claim. 

Again in Revelation 7:14 we read, "And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."  Just as false prophets always do, Lutherans target Scriptures that, by themselves, can be easily taken out of context.  Well they can't pervert Revelation 1:5 or 7:14 because they clearly speak of the Blood of Jesus which WASHES our sins away.
Notice in Luther's Catechism above that he also tries to justify Baptismal Regeneration by quoting Mark 16:16, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."  A simple comparison with Romans 10:9-13 refutes such an idea.  Romans 10:10 declares, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness..."  Salvation is of the heart; and not, through the ceremonial act of baptism. 

The necessary thing to be saved is BELIEF; and not, baptism.  Notice that Mark 16:16 does not say "he that is not baptized shall be damned."  No, it says "he that believeth not shall be damned."  The thief upon the cross who turned to Christ in faith was not baptized.  Romans 4:3 reads, "For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness."  There is NO reference to baptism; but only, faith.  Jesus NEVER told anyone to be baptized to go to Heaven.  Jesus claimed that He is the Door, by which men can be saved if they'll enter (John 10:9).  Jesus claimed that He is the Living Water, by which men can be saved if they'll drink (John 4:10). 

Jesus claimed that He is the Bread of Life, by which men can be saved if they'll eat (John 6:35).  Jesus claimed that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6).  Yet, Jesus never ADDED anything about being Baptized in all these Scriptures.  The "washing of Regeneration" in Titus 3:5 is nothing more than our sins being washed away by Jesus blood, and the Holy Spirit indwelling our body.  We are "regened" when we are BORN-AGAIN (John 3:3). 

Our spirit which was dead in trespasses and sins, is quickened (made alive) by the Holy Spirit of God (Ephesians 2:1).  The regeneration is the "new creature" (Christ) which comes to dwell within us (2nd Corinthians 5:17).  The regeneration is the Holy Spirit of God; thus, we become a new creature in Christ.
I once had a Church of Christ minister tell me that the Apostle Paul didn't baptize because his disciples did.  He spoke this in an attempt to justify baptism, and discredit 1st Corinthians 1:17 where Paul clearly stated, "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel..."  The Apostle Paul said in Romans 10:1, "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved." 
In the entire book of Romans, Paul only mentions "baptized" or "baptism" TWICE (Romans 6:3 and 4).  Yet, Paul mentions the word "faith" 34 times.  Clearly, baptism is NOT necessary for salvation or else the Apostle would have mentioned it much more.  In fact, Paul explains what baptism is in Romans 6:3,4...

"Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that LIKE as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

Carefully notice the word "like."  Hence, baptism is only symbolic of the Gospel of Christ.  It is simply a way for us to identify ourselves with Christ in His crucifixion, for others to witness.  Just as Jesus died, was buried, and rose again--so do we identify with Him, showing forth our faith, through baptism. 
BUT, please notice, baptism ALWAYS come AFTER a person is already saved.  No one in the Word of God was ever baptized to get saved; but rather, were baptized because they were already saved.  Though there are several passages in the New testament which mention baptism with faith, there are umpteen more which only mention faith, and baptism is NOT mentioned at all.  The diligent Bible student must "rightly divide" the Word of Truth.  If baptism were as necessary for salvation as the cults all claim, than surely baptism would have been mentioned much more throughout the Word of God. 

Baptism is not even mentioned in the Book of revelation, yet faith is mentioned 11 times. 

In 2nd Corinthians 13:5, the Apostle Paul declares, "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" 

Interestingly again, Paul does not mention baptism.  In fact, baptism is not even mentioned in 2nd Corinthians; but faith is mentioned 6 times.  The Book of Hebrews mentions faith 34 times; but baptism once ONCE. 
And let me also say that "baptism" in the Bible often refers to the baptism of the Holy Spirit (salvation) and NOT water baptism.  For example: 1st Corinthians 12:13 reads, "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body..."  The word "baptized" here is NOT referring to water baptism, but to the baptism of the Holy Spirit which occurs the moment we accept Christ as our Saviour. 

John the Baptist declared in Matthew 3:11, "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire." 

It is clear from Scriptures like Mark 1:4 that John the Baptist didn't teach baptismal Regeneration, "John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins."  It wasn't water baptism that saved those people under John's preaching; but rather, their repentance and faith in Christ. 

John preached the baptism of REPENTANCE, not salvation through water baptism.  Acts 19:4 reads, "Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."  Acts 10:47 plainly declares, "Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?"  Please notice, they had already received the Holy Ghost (salvation, Romans 8:9), but they had not yet been baptized.  How can any honest student of the Bible claim that baptism is required for salvation in lieu of such overwhelming evidence to the contrary?

In conclusion, these are but a few of the damnable doctrines of the Lutheran religion.  Martin Luther didn't like the Book of Revelation because he couldn't understand it.  He didn't believe it belonged in the Bible.  He denied the Biblical teaching that Christ would one day reign from Jerusalem.  He denied the Millennium altogether, in spite of clear Biblical prophecy supporting it.  Luther denied the rapture.  Martin Luther was a heretic by all counts.  Sadly, even professed Independent Fundamental Baptists ignorantly praise Martin Luther as a man of faith. 

What many people fail to realize, as I once did, is that Luther's faith was not SOLELY in Christ, but in his own perverted theology which ADDED "holy baptism" and "holy communion" to his faith.  Thus, there's not a dime's difference between Catholics are Lutherans.  The following quote if from The Lutheran World Federation, and states:

"The dialogue between the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the Roman Catholic Church began soon after the end of the Second Vatican Council in 1965.  The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification is so far the high point of the more than 30-year process.  The two dialogue partners confirm that they have reached 'a consensus on basic truths of the doctrine of justification' and 'that the mutual condemnations of former times do not apply to the Catholic and Lutheran doctrines of justification as they are presented in the Joint Declaration.' "

What a hoax! 

The Catholics and Lutherans sat down together and drew up an agreement, stating that they BOTH believed that justification by faith in Christ was necessary for salvation. 

They called this agreement, The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification.  But the problem is that they BOTH ADD the sacraments to that faith.  They BOTH require their congregations to seek forgiveness from the minister or priest, instead of from Jesus Christ as the Word of God teaches (1st John 1:9).  Who's kidding who? 

There's a fine line between faith and foolishness friend, and it's the difference between Heaven or Hell when you die.  You'd better forsake your false religion, and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ instead.  Martin Luther was a heretic who taught Satanic lies.  Let every Christian who names the name of Jesus Christ, EXPOSE this worker of darkness.  As Psalm 118:8 solemnly warns, "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."  My friend, trust Jesus; Not Martin Luther or any other man.

"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." —2nd Corinthians 11:13,14
