Does history repeat itself? Could the atrosities of the past once again raise their ugly heads? Could the deadly pogroms that took place on a limited scale in the past be resurrected on a global scale in the future? Let us suppose that, in the name of global unity, all religious books, including the Bible […]
Simon of Samaria (cont. 14)
Where does the Catholic Church fit in with the Image of the Beast as characterized in Revelation 13? The answer can only come by way of a thorough study of the Scriptures combined with a projection of things to come in the future based on those Scriptures. Image: Eikone-likeness, profile, resemblance. Note in Revelation 13 […]
Simon of Samaria (cont. 13)
Prophet, Antichrist, miracles–obviously the coming world-ruling entity will have powerful religious involvement. World-shaking scenarios do not take place quickly;there are always people and situations involved in the events leading up to actions that affect the entire globe. Therefore, the governmental/church dictatorship that will come into being in the end of the end times will have […]
Simon of Samaria (cont. 12)
Now that we know from secular history what Simon’s institution looks like, let us examine God’s Word to determine what she will do in the future. A particular irony is noted in the fact that Catholics as well as Protestants are doing what the hated Jews have been doing for thousands of years–awaiting the arrival […]
Simon of Samaria (cont. 11)
WORSHIP OF SAINTS: Each day of the year is dedicated to a particular saint who is singled out for special attention on that day. Worship of the dead is a practice borrowed from a number of pagan religions. HALLOWEEN: “All hallowed eve” (Halloween) is the night when all dead saints are honored with symbols of […]

CELIBACY OF PRIESTS: Inscriptions on tombs found in Rome reveal that many early priests were married, as was the Apostle Peter, the supposed founder of the order whose mother-in-law Jesus healed. The celibacy of priests is a practice borrowed from Babylonian customs. One will notice that many of the Counterfeit Church’s heathen practices were borrowed […]
Simon of Samaria (cont. 9)
As the following postings will affirm, Catholicism is nothing more than heathenism cloaked in Christian trappings. Because she practices many of the same heathen rituals and worships the same heathen god (Tammuz), Protestantism is nothing more than closet Catholicism. The overall message transmitted by the following postings is that Satan is alive and well in […]
Simon of Samaria (cont. 8)
In 1542 Pope Paul III established a permanent, Rome-directed, all-powerful office which he called “the Congregation of the Holy Office of the Inquisition.” This became the supervisory body for all local Inquisitions. Though the pope was the head of the body, he assigned 11 cardinals to do the actual work of the organization. Today the […]
Simon of Samaria (cont. 7)
History records that the church that Simon Magus built hounded and persecuted the church that Christ built for hundreds of years following her founding on the Day of Pentecost, 31 A.D. Constantly on the move to avoid total destruction, God’s saints found themselves moving from place to place throughout first the Middle East, then Europe. […]
Simon of Samaria (cont. 6)
Though Simon Magus’ new religion grew rapidly and successfully, one problem continued to loom before her–God’s church. The Lord’s people, particularly the fearless, fiery apostles, continually brought forth God’s Word which contradicted the heathen doctrines of Catholicism. Because of this the Universal Church realized early on that true Christianity would continue to be her unrelenting […]
