The Roman Catholic Church venerates Mary with doctrines such as the Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Mediatrix, which lack explicit biblical support. Scripture emphasises that Jesus alone is the mediator between God and humanity, and His sacrifice is complete and sufficient. Exploring Protestant beliefs encourages Catholics to ground their understanding in biblical texts, reaffirming the centrality of Christ’s atoning work. #Mary #CatholicDoctrine #BiblicalPerspective #ImmaculateConception #PerpetualVirginity #Assumption #Mediatrix #JesusChrist #Mediator #Protestantism #Scripture #Atonement #Faith #Christianity #brendonnaicker #swindonchurch https://lnkd.in/eZVsjGsz

Priests should proclaim God's love and goodness to all people and also help sinners and those who are weak and have difficulty in conversion with counsel and prayer. This is very different from pointing out to them with self-invented but misleading signs and words that God is not so demanding about sin, thus hiding the fact that sin in thought, word and deed distances us from God. There is no blessing, not only in public but also in private, for sinful living conditions that objectively contradict God's holy will. And it is no evidence of a healthy hermeneutic that the courageous defenders of Christian doctrine are branded as rigorists, more interested in the legalistic fulfillment of their moral norms than in the salvation of concrete persons. For this is what Jesus says to ordinary people: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” (Mt 11:28-30). - Gerhard Cardinal Müller His Eminence has published this essay in Spanish, Italian, and German. He once served as Prefect for the then-Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (now the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith).

Shincheonji New Heaven New Earth Church of Jesus hosted a Bible seminar in Paris, France, attracting around 7,000 attendees, including 1,000 pastors. The seminar, part of the 2024 Continental Word Seminar, aimed to revive Christianity in Europe by providing a clear explanation of the fulfillment of prophecies in Revelation. 'God's work is accomplished according to this Book of Revelation, the Book of Revelation that cannot be added to or subtracted from,' said Chairman Lee Man-hee during his lecture, 'Testimony on Fulfilled Realities of Revelation.' As European society has become more secularized, with a projected decline in the number of Christians to 490 million by 2050, Shincheonji Church expects renewed interest in the Bible and the book of Revelation following the seminars. 'After this seminar, many pastors in Europe asked Shincheonji Church of Jesus how they could learn about the Book of Revelation,' a Shincheonji Church official stated. The church plans to expand its Zion Christian Mission Center, which has produced over 100,000 graduates annually, to facilitate learning about Revelation's 22 chapters. As of May 2024, Shincheonji Church's Mission Center has 5,614 pastors taking its free Bible course, and the church has signed MOUs with 12,538 churches in 83 countries. #ChristianityRevival #ShincheonjiChurch #Revelation #BibleSeminar @shincheonjichurch

Founders in Christianity – Which is the oldest writing that lists out the earliest Church Leaders leading directly to the Blessed Apostles of Most Blessed Lord Jesus Christ? Guess who? None other than Blessed St. Irenaeus of Lyons who is a CHILIASM CHURCH FATHER by PROPHECY position as I have extensively discussed POSSIBILITIES in the #CHILIASM Book to SHOW EVIDENCE. Can you quote him to show how well your “prophecy beliefs” match his quotes? Only GOD KNOWS who is quoting him accurately but as long as we speak with EVIDENCE, it’s SAFE even if WRONG because that’s the ONLY EARLIEST EVIDENCE we have. Even the Roman Catholics do NOT have a quote earlier than him, example: “… St. Irenaeus, writing between 175 and 190, not many years after his Roman sojourn, enumerates the series from Peter to Eleutherius (Against Heresies III.3.3; Eusebius, Church History V.6). His object, as we have already seen, was to establish the orthodoxy of the traditional doctrine, as opposed to heretical novelties, by showing that the bishop was the natural inheritor of the Apostolic teaching. He gives us the names alone, not the length of the various episcopates. This need is supplied by other witnesses. …” (Chronological Lists of Popes) Source: https://lnkd.in/d3mwD6g2 Blessed St. Irenaeous of Lyons, a Hearer of Blessed St. Polycarp who is an Apostolic Father being the Disciple of Blessed St. John who wrote the Book of Revelation, Approved Church Father in the First Lutheran Father's Book of Concord, Venerated in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodoxy, Anglican Communion, Lutheran Church, First Doctor of the Church in order of time, Father of Catholic Theology, CHILIASM Church Father (c. 130 AD - c. 202 AD, all quotes from this book 'Against Heresies’) Sample quotes are in images. If Roman Catholic Church today with biggest continued evangelism in numbers can be in error in some parts of doctrine when compared to St. Irenaeus any other Protestant Christianity can likewise be wrong too so better to guard one’s tongue and consider evidences to be safe. (All quotes from this book 'Against Heresies’) Remember even Jews were WRONG by CHRIST’s TIME though they were PRIESTS, PRESERVED SCRIPTURE etc. Peace to you Free Powerpoint Link: https://lnkd.in/eXmfyKPC Source Post: https://lnkd.in/gPD-aU6P TQ

Christianity's ten Commandments are actually redacted Torah 613 : 1. New scholarship, thanks to online resources and the Dead Sea Scrolls, is proving that the Latin Vulgate Bible translated by Jerome in AD405 was intentionally mistranslated in many places to uphold Roman/Constantinian Trinitarian doctrines not in any of the earliest manuscripts. 2. Now, a lot of Christians inherently want to reject this idea, because they have this cultural misunderstanding that the law of Moses is 613 commandments, and there’s a bunch of nonsensical restrictions in there designed purely to test your faith. In essence, Gentile converts to Christianity are, under the Law, not expected to keep all the tribal requirements that the tribes of Israel were. 3. Few Examples : -Rest/Do none of your regular work on the Sabbath.(Ex. 20, Ex. 23, Deut. 5) -Sojourners are also not permitted to offer animal sacrifices to anyone but YHVH. (Lev. 17) -Don’t let your children get sexually involved with anyone who practices witchcraft, sex magic, sexual idolatry/idol worship, including human sacrifice (to Molech), abortion, etc. (Lev. 18) -Anyone who offers their child as a human sacrifice, killing them, shall be stoned, but not to death, and cut off from the people of God. (Lev. 20) -Anyone in your land blaspheming/reviling the name of YHVH shall be stoned to death. (Lev. 24) -No sexual intercourse with any other countryman’s wife. (Lev. 18) -There shall not be a different judgment (punishment) at law between natives and sojourners/residents in your nation. (Lev. 24) -Don’t eat/drink the blood of the animal. (Lev. 17) -No male-on-male sodomy/homosexuality or No bestiality of any kind, men or women. (Lev. 18) #Indonordicassociation(dot)org Indo Nordic Strategic Association, India https://lnkd.in/dP6BkkKm
Yes, Jesus Taught Torah. No, You Don’t Need To Follow 613 Commandments
