Our task is to discuss the attempts to interpret the passages and texts of Scripture relating to the Apostasia, the Antichrist, the Beast, the Woman who rides the Beast, Mystery Babylon the Great, and any other pertinent texts.

There still remains, however, another feature of Popery equally destructive, which runs through the whole system, viz., the awful extent to which the priest usurps the place of God! or in the figurative language of prophecy, “sitteth in the Temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thess. ii. 4.)
Continue reading →Now we come to that excellent old Protestant called Saint Patrick, who flourished in the year 464 A.D. He never once, in his writings, addressed a prayer, petition, or even ejaculation to Mary, or to any saint or angel.
Continue reading →The worship of the saints and of the Virgin has thus been fully established against the Church of Rome. Another and still heavier charge is now brought against it—that of worshipping dumb idols.
Continue reading →The Council of Carthage decreed: “That no one, in praying, shall address his prayers to any one except God the Father.” Such a decree was felt to be most necessary. For, at that time, few men addressed their prayers to God. They preferred to entreat some saint to intercede with God for them.

Continue reading →The climax of creature-worship is reached in the adoration of the Virgin, who may justly be styled the great Goddess of Popery!
Continue reading →Athor, Ashtoreth, or Astarte, according to Wilkinson, was an apotheosed or deified heroine, an Assyrian queen who had conquered all Asia and Egypt. She was also called Cybelé, Aphrodité, Semiramis, and Isis. Her son was Assarac, and was also named Horus the younger, Tammuz, Dumuzi (Ezek. viii. 14), Adonis, Apollo, and Bacchus “the Lamented,” from the Phoenician bakkah, to weep.

Continue reading →The worship of any creature, however good or great, must of necessity be a sin of the deepest dye. From Revelation we know that the Most High is infinitely Great, and Good, and Glorious. That He alone, of all beings, owes his existence to none.
Continue reading →This chapter argues against Catholic doctrines regarding Mary and saint worship by appealing to writings of the Church fathers and early church history.
Continue reading →One of the greatest proofs of the almost total ignorance of a knowledge of church history is the way the word catholic is used today not only by the secular news media, not only by the Papal Dominion, not only by the ecumenical “non-catholics,” but even by those who purport to be defending the truth and contending for the faith. There is nothing that demonstrates the victory of the Papal Dominion in America today more than the use of the word “catholic” to describe the religion of the Papacy.
Continue reading →As the Papacy grew, it sought more and more power, not just in the church but also in the state. As it became more embroiled in matters of the State and Empire, it was affected by the evils and wickedness of the State and Empire. This entanglement with State and Empire led the church into the Dark Ages.
Continue reading →The indulgences of the Romish church, as at first practised, were the natural result of that unscriptural system of penance which had prevailed for many centuries throughout the whole visible church. Originally, works of penance consisted in certain public signs of repentance, which the church required before she received back those individuals who had been excluded for gross offences.
Continue reading →Early Church fathers and historical texts from the fourth century demonstrate that no special religious honor or worship was paid to the Virgin Mary, as early writers routinely attributed human faults and original sin to her. Instead, the period’s theologians universally affirmed that Jesus Christ alone was born without sin and entitled to divine adoration, rejecting the invocation of saints and the concept of an Immaculate Conception.
Continue reading →Judaism is Judaism because it rejects Christianity, and Christianity is Christianity because it rejects Judaism. What is usually referred to as the Jewish-Christian tradition exists only in Christian or secularist fantasy.

Continue reading →The first mention of Purgatory, or the doctrine of future expiatory suffering, in the writings of the Fathers of the church, occurs in a work of Ambrose, who flourished at the close of the fourth century.
Continue reading →THERE is, as we have seen, not the slightest hint, throughout the Holy Scriptures, about prayers to the Virgin Mary or to saints. Nor, for 360 years after Christ, was a single word said or written in favor of such a practice. The Fathers of the first six centuries never, in the least degree, advocated a worship of the Virgin Mary or saints.
