Catholicism
Now catholics may think I am bashing the catholic faith which I am not I am writing about truth here not fables, as many religions teach, every religion thinks they are the one true church, how can a person know? Is there a one true church? Well the answer is simple the one true church is the people who believe the way's of God, It is not a physical place here on earth, it is a place found in the heart of all believers in God'd truth's.
I am writing about the catholic religion because I want to reach catholics before it is too late, I was catholic 28 years, unknowingly I was headed for eternal hell, but God stepped in before it was too late to find His truth! So I will attempt to show a catholic the truth with God's Word no other way, In the Word of God people would check the scriptures to see if what a man was teaching was true, as found in Acts 17:11. God is telling us to see if certain teachings of a man are the same as what God has said, this is where many people make the first mistake they take a mans teaching as the truth without checking if this is truly what God has taught in His Holy Word!
I never read my bible growing up or in my adult years, I figured I was catholic I was safe from eternal hell, like many today never read the bible, this is the first mistake not knowing 100 percent that one is safe from eternal hell, God speaks to us today, How you may ask, by reading His word, God speaks to the spirit of a person, without reading we continue to be spiritually blind.
TO BE CONTINUED....Also If this article is helping you please write to let me know, thank you so much.
Catholicism teaches doctrines which will lead many to hell, such false doctrines as purgatory, mary worship, prayers and masses for the dead, mary sinless, mary an ever virgin, The pope, there was no pope mentioned in the bible we will explain all of these false teachings as the article matures,The present pope as well as many before have taught doctrine which will put the ignorant into hell, I love people and must warn them, if one chooses not to believe then I cannt help.
Jesus taught the pharisees in Matthew 23:13 But Woe unto you, scribes and pharisee's, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves,neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Jesus is telling these men they do not preach the truth thus preventing people to find the way to God! As today many religions are shutting the doors of heaven, I have a responsibility to God since He has given me the knowledge and the key to heaven I must show the truth to all that will accept the truth!
The pope and priest's are shutting the doors to people of the catholic church, Please believe in God's Truth's not mans lies!
I found an article about what the pope is teaching the church which will lead many who believe this to hell:

Nonbelievers Too Can Be Saved, Says Pope
Refers to St. Augustine's Commentary on Psalm 136(137)
VATICAN CITY, NOV. 30, 2005 (Zenit.org).- Whoever seeks peace and the good of the community with a pure conscience, and keeps alive the desire for the transcendent, will be saved even if he lacks biblical faith, says Benedict XVI.
This statement is an out and out lie from the the devil, God says the complete oposite about this:
2Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The devil would like people to believe in this lie that the head of the catholic church has said,we must seek the truth if we would know a lie!
-------------------------------------------------------
Here is another false statement from the pope:
ARE BELIEVERS OF OTHER RELIGIONS SAVED?
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger Responds
VATICAN CITY, SEP 5 (ZENIT.org).- "How is it possible to explain the unique character of Christ and of the Catholic Church to a Jew or a Lutheran, a reporter asked Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, prefect of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, during a press conference to present the "Dominus Iesus" declaration, which is concerned, precisely, with the unique and universal salvation of Christ and the Church.
Referring to a believing Jew, Cardinal Ratzinger clarified that "we are in agreement that a Jew, and this is true for believers of other religions, does not need to know or acknowledge Christ as the Son of God in order to be saved, if there are insurmountable impediments, of which he is not blameworthy, to preclude it. However, the fact that the Son of God entered history, made himself part of history, and is present as a reality in history, affects everyone."
The German Cardinal continued "I think it is important to explain that Christ did not go away to heaven, but has remained in history." Because of this, "we can say that the hidden and real presence of Christ in history affects us all, even those who are opposed or cannot encounter Christ. This is a reality that transforms history; it is something important for others, without violating their conscience."
In speaking of the universal character of the Church's salvation with a Lutheran, Cardinal Ratzinger said that "we all recognize objectively that the Church should be one, and we should all desire to find ourselves in a renewed Catholic Church on the road toward the future.
However, this objective necessity must be distinguished from the state of conscience of persons who learn their faith in their community and are nourished by the world of God in it." This state of conscience impedes some Christians from understanding the importance and necessity of unicity and the unity of the Church.
------------------------------------------------
Another false teaching of the catholic church is the office of the pope, from reading the scripture about Peter, they think that the Lord Jesus made peter the pope of the catholic church, Let's study the scripture to see if this is what God is teaching:
Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Phillippi He asked His disciples, saying , Whom do men say that I the son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some Elias and others Jeremias,or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I AM?
16 And simon peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, The Son of the Living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee but My Father which is in heaven.
18 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.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven , and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged He His disciples that they should tell no man that He was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to show unto His disciples how that He must go unto jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes,and be killed, and raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took Him and began to rebuke Him saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But He turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me satan, thou art an offense unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
