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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

Having deceived the people of Rome into believing that he was the Apostle Peter, Simon Magus went about establishing his “universal religion,” touting the combination of Christian doctrines and Babylonian heathenism as the only religion that God recognized. A recent pope stated publicly that Simon’s religion, today known as Catholicism, is the only religion through […]

Was the Apostle Peter the founder of Catholicism and its first pope? According to Catholic tradition, the Universal Church was established in Rome in 33 A.D. It was some time later that Paul arrived in the city to begin a work. If Peter had already established God’s church in Rome, why did Paul go there […]

With a background established, we will return to Acts 8 where we find that Peter has severely rebuked Simon, telling him that his heart was not right with God, that he would burn with his money, that he was in the “… gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.” He ended his rebuke […]
