The Bible Versus The Roman Catholic Church
"And they worshipped the dragon..." Revelation 13:4 KJB
To speak out today about the Roman Catholic faith (and the Roman Catholic Church, Vatican, and Papacy) is not a popular thing to do. It has cost many millions of people their lives throughout the centuries, through the means of holocausts, inquisitions, crusades, massacres, etc. Nonetheless, people need to be warned, because Roman Catholicism is leading many to ****ation. Jesus told us that the majority of people would enter in through the wide gate to destruction (Matthew 7:13 KJV), and this perfectly describes the Roman Catholic Church, whose followers number in the millions around the world. Many Roman Catholics are very sincere in their belief that their church is "the one true church Christ founded", but beloved, they are sincerely WRONG. Please continue reading to see why.
This tract will simply quote official Roman Catholic catechisms and other Catholic official documents, and then refute those Catholic doctrinal heresies with the Word of God, the King James Bible. Since the Bible is of no private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20 KJV), and is self interpreting (scripture compared with other scripture on a subject - 1 Cor. 2:10-15 KJV), it is perfectly capable of teaching its own sound doctrine when read and searched (John 5:39 KJV), studied and rightly divided (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV), and BELIEVED to be what Jesus taught it was: Truth ("Thy word is truth." - John 17:17 KJV). The truth is that the Bible and the Roman Catholic Church's teachings are almost entirely opposed to each other on most of the important fundamentals of the faith. And Jesus knows this, for God cannot be mocked (Galatians 6:7 KJV). He also warned that there would be a stiff penalty for those who added or subtracted to His Book.

Christian Fundamentalism Exposed

What is Christian Fundamentalism? Quoting Grolier Electronic Publishing:
Fundamentalism is a term popularly used to describe strict adherence to Christian doctrines based on a literal interpretation of the Bible. This usage derives from a late-19th- and early-20th-century transdenominational Protestant movement that opposed the accommodation of Christian doctrine to modern scientific theory and philosophy.
Are Christian fundamentalists just raving, Bible-thumping fanatics? The answer for many is no. In fact, they are a very diverse and often divided group. Here I will try to dispel myths and take up where the above dictionary definition leaves off. Let's look at some of the many issues surrounding "fundamentalism" as it is today.
I will strongly note here that "fundamentalism" as used here is a political and social movement. This is not to question Jesus or the Bible. Two-thirds of born again Christians reject the intolerance, bigotry, and social politics of groups often affiliated with the Religious Right. Liberals, often hostile to all Christian beliefs, also distort the issue by an over emphasis on the small number of extremists and fanatics. Other examples include some Orthodox and Hassidic Jews, most Shiite Muslims in Iran, and most Sunni Muslims elsewhere. Christian but not Protestant examples would be ultra-conservatives within both Roman and Eastern Orthodox Catholicism, as well as some Mormons (though non-Mormons often consider all members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints "non-Christian"). Nontheistic examples would include many Marxists and Secular Humanists, as well as other fervent atheists. This website defines "religious fundamentalism" of all kinds as political and social, not religious.
