The Roots of Protestantism

Many mainline Non-Denominational Churches claim to be the true holder of the Faith of Jesus Christ. They often attack and denagrade the Catholic Church. Yet, everyone of these Protestant denominations are off shots of the Catholic Church. In fact it is only the Catholic Church, which can trace it's origin directly to Jesus Christ to the Apostle Peter in the year 33AD.  



This above video gives a date for the birth of nearly all mainline Protestant Churches in the world today.  Most, if not all were begun by former Catholics who had doctrinal issues with the Catholic Church.   

'So, it is with Christ's body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. Romans 12:5

It is obvious for anyone who is looking, to see, that the enemy has fractured the body of Christ into 20, 000 and counting different denominations.  Bringing with it infighting, dogmatic separation, hatred for one another, schisms, and worst of all removing our eyes from the Lord and his declaration...

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you..." John 13:34

We are one body in the Lord JESUS CHRIST.  No one has the full truth, and, no one will have the full truth until we are face to face with the Lord in Heaven. The BIBLE tells us this...

^"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known..." 1 Corinthians 13:12

 

There is one Church, one body of Christ. Jesus founded his Church on the rock which was Peter. That line of succession has passed down for over 2000 years.  Jesus Christ said...

"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it..." Matthew 16:18

 

Obi-Wan Kenobi Loves JESUS CHRIST

 

Sir Alec Guinness is one of the most recognizable actors of the 20th century. While he appeared in lots of films over the years and won many awards, he best known as having played Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. What many people don’t know about him, though, is that at the age of 42 he converted to Catholicism – in part because of a miracle.



Guinness was born in 1914 in London to a broken family. He never knew his father and grew up in poverty. Though he was confirmed in the Anglican faith at 16, he was unsure of what he really believed about religion. Over the next few years he bounced around Presbyterianism, atheism, Marxism, Buddhism, and even attended a few Quaker meetings. Like a good Englishman of the early 20th century, though, he had no interest in Catholicism.

While rehearsing for the play Hamlet, an Anglican priest approached him and explained that he was blessing himself wrong and showed him the correct way. Something about the encounter had a spiritual impact on him, and he regained some interest in Anglicanism.

He was drawn further into the Anglican faith in the turmoil of World War II, but it wasn’t until 1954 when he was 40 years old that he had another experience that would open him to considering Catholicism.

He was in France working on the film Father Brown, based on G. K. Chesterton’s well known fictional crime-solving priest. He was playing the title role and so was dressed up as a Catholic priest. While walking down the street in priestly attire, a local child spotted him and mistook him to be a genuine Catholic priest. The child ran up, grabbed his hand trustingly, and walked with him down the road.


The trust and affection the child had for Catholic priests had a deep impact on him and made him start to seriously consider Catholicism. He later explained:

Continuing my walk, I reflected that a Church that could inspire such confidence in a child, making priests, even when unknown, so easily approachable, could not be as scheming or as creepy as so often made out. I began to shake off my long-taught, long-absorbed prejudices.

Soon after, his son Matthew contracted polio and appeared to be close to death. Desperate and seeking divine help, Guinness started dropping by a local Catholic church to pray.

He made a deal with God: if God healed Matthew, he would allow his son to become Catholic if he wanted.
Against all expectations (miraculously?), his son recovered! So Guinness and his wife enrolled him in a Jesuit school. A few years later, Guinness, his wife, and his son all converted to Catholicism.
Guinness remained a faithful Catholic the rest of his life until he died in 2000. May he rest in peace!

15yr Old Jewish Boy Returns from the Dead to give Warning

Rabbi Rami Levy & 15 year old Natan gives a chilling testimony about the soon The End of Days. It is interesting to hear what the Jews, GOD'S chosen people, the Apple of HIS eye will experience after death.  

Natan died and experienced clinical death.  15 year old Natan's near death, out of body experience that took place on the first night of Sukkot. Natan who comes from a secular background. He had never been taught about Yeshiva, nonetheless he describes from his experience exactly what is written by the prophets and in the holy books regarding the end of days. If your Hebrew is OK, you are encouraged to watch the entire video. It will shake you up... I have listed some of the main points below. Fasten your seat belts…

Some of his talking points...

1. Natan felt extremely ill with chills and a cold feeling in his hands and legs. His body shook, hurt and he suddenly found himself hovering over his body 6 feet in the air. He was very afraid.


2. Instantly, Natan began to be lifted up and kept rising and rising, he saw the whole earth and eventually was pulled into a tunnel.


3. He saw a light that was full of love and security. He can’t properly explain how amazing this was.


4. The Moshiach is already here and is very well known! People will be very very surprised. His is a Baal Tshuva who has not sinned once since his tshuva. He also helps others to be chozer btshuva.


5. The war of Gog and Magog started on the 27th of Elul the 11th of September 2015, and it will get much worse in the weeks or months to come.


 

6. There will be a huge World War 3 that will eventually lead the nations of the world to unite and attack Israel and Jerusalem.


7. The leader of the free world is know up above as Gog. Gog is none other than... Barack Hussein Obama...


8. World War 3 will last only about two weeks. The devastation beyond anything that has EVER come before.


9. The Jews who did not keep Torah and Mitzvot will die. (Hashem Y’rachem). The number will be in the tens of millions. This is separate of the non Jews who will also perish. 


10. Tzahal will last only two days. Secular zionism (the flag, yom ha’atmaut) carries no merit.


 

11. Har Hazaitim will split into two and the Moshiach will be revealed. Moshiach will KNOW who is a real God fearing Jew and who is not. 


12. Moshiach will fight against Gog and kill him. Gog will be buried in Israel.


13. During the war, two Atomic bombs will be shot at Israel and Hashem will suspend them in the air for two weeks. They will eventually fall on Tel Aviv and Haifa. Hashem Y’rachem.


14. Israel will be captured but the worthy will survive in Jerusalem.


15. The Moshiach will wear a garment that is stained in blood. The blood symbolizes all the Jews who were killed kidush Hashem. The Moshiach will then take revenge on the nations of the world who have oppressed us throughout the years.


16. It will take a very long time to burry all the dead.


17. Only those who do real tshuva will survive.


18. Those who make tshuva will inherit the highest level of heaven. 


19. The Beit Hamikdash will descend from heaven and there will be a revival of the death. (This will take time and not happen immediately).

 

Growing up Jewish, evil demonic forces took over me, but Jesus miraculously healed me!

Yet, another awesome testimony of why JESUS CHRIST is the Jewish Messiah!

 

Jewish man turns to Jesus and explains why in a way you never heard before!

This is Brilliant, well spoken, and I know you will be blessed by listening to this hard line Jewish man and his Father come to the saving grace of JESUS CHRIST, who was a Jew!

How a French Atheist Becomes a Christian Theologian

Born and raised in France, Guillaume was happy and successful as an atheist. His journey towards the Salvation of JESUS CHRIST began with a crush on a girl.  He picked up a BIBLE to refute the crazy Christian dogma that his soon to be girlfriend was sharing with him.   

 

Now, Guillaume Bignon is Christian theologian? His story is very interesting. I highly recommend you take the time and listen to his testimony.   

Pope Innocent III and the Fires of Purgatory

Reigning from 1198 to 1216, Pope Innocent III was one of the most influential and important popes of his era.

He granted Francis of Assisi and his small band of followers permission to found the Order of Friars Minor; he convened the Fourth Lateran Council which, among other things, dogmatically defined the doctrine of transubstantiation; and he organized great efforts to combat heresy in Europe and repel invading Muslim forces.

Then, after more than 18 years as pope, he died suddenly. But that wasn’t the last he was heard from.
When a Christian dies, Catholics believe, they may go straight to heaven if they lack any outstanding temporal punishment due to sins they’ve committed. But many Christians will go to purgatory first, where, by the grace of Jesus Christ, they are purified and prepared to enter into the presence of the all-holy God.
 

The story goes that on the day Pope Innocent III died, or soon thereafter, he appeared to St. Lutgardis of Aywières in Belgium. St. Lutgardis is considered to have been one of the great mystics of the 13th century, known for her miracles, visions, levitation, and particularly adept teaching.

When Pope Innocent appeared to her, he thanked her for her prayers during his lifetime, but explained that he was in trouble: he had not gone straight to heaven but was in purgatory, suffering its purifying fire for three specific faults he had committed during his life.

And he made a desperate plea for help:

“Alas! It is terrible; and will last for centuries if you do not come to my assistance. In the name of Mary, who has obtained for me the favor of appealing to you, help me!”

Then he vanished.
With a sense of urgency, St. Lutgardis quickly told her fellow religious sisters what she had seen and prayed for his soul.
