The Pope even teaches you to pray to your patron saint, and ask the saint to intercede for you and protect you. Only one Person intercedes for sinners, His name is The Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore HE is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by HIM (JESUS CHRIST), seeing HE ever liveth to make Intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25) You don't need Mary, a patron saint, the Pope, or any of his priestlings to intercede for you to God; JESUS is the only MEDIATOR between God and men.
Only The Lord Jesus Christ can intercede and protect your Soul from eternal danger and the vengeance of eternal fire. Human nature loves superstition and ritualism. Ritualism, Spiritualism, Catholicism, Materialism, and Atheism are a just fews ways to Hell the devil has devised for your careless soul. Human nature refuses to seriously consider the state of affairs between God and the Soul. You are conscious that something is very wrong within you, and from time to time when you are not drunk or distracted, you have fearful apprehensions about the hereafter. But you have no intention of seriously thinking and inquiring with the PHYSICIAN about the actual true condition of your sin-sick soul. Men and women love sophisticated, superficial, second-hand religion - men want to make up their own truth. But remember, Jesus Christ Himself is THE TRUTH (John 14:6).
The POPESTER is a very cunning trickster; he will point to you many things, but not to JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. Your Soul needs JESUS, and no one else. The Pope will point you to his church's rituals, Mary, patron saints, the mass, confessing to priests, you name it. Putting anything in the place of JESUS CHRIST is devilish sacrilege. And oh by the way, Mary was not a virgin when she died: she had multiple children with Joseph. But JESUS was born of the Holy Ghost. Mary did not ascend into heaven. Mary does not ever hear the prayers of sinners. This is all Popish nonsense and blasphemous falsehoods.
Wake up Soul before its too late! You must be very particular with Who you trust your Soul with both now and out in Eternity. Never ever trust yourself, or the Pope: only Simply and Personally Trust JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF with your Soul and your eternal Safety.
Vatican City is a fool's paradise of false peace, and the habitation of devils and foul spirits. Priests dress up in religious costumes, put on a presumptuous show every day and week, and drink from the cup of devils. It's Halloween every day of the year for the Pope and his underlings. The Pope will flat out tell you that his holy water can help regenerate your child, or that his prayers can help absolve your sins. Please don't be hoodwinked by the Pope's blasphemous falsehoods. The Popester is a hellish impostor who seeks to deceive your Soul with his detestable superstitions.
The Pope constantly distorts and complicates the simple Gospel with his endless subtleties and religious difficulties. Baptismal regeneration is a vain deceit and a human invention to keep people coming back to a particular church. Stop trying to save yourself with outward forms and empty ceremonies. You must have Christ Jesus deep within you, not outward forms, self-righteous penance, or vain pilgrimages. Catholic priests put a really vain show and have many silly wicked pretensions, and they pretend they can help your immortal soul with their religiousness. The Pope is all sham and show wrapped up in outward forms, vile superstitions, and gorgeous ceremonies. Human nature loves to see something, and the Pope gives preference to the lust of the eye with his garments of guile and wonderful performances. External religiousness will never do your Soul a drop of good. Outward religion only gives the Soul a shallow, hollow peace.
If a ships's captain refused to have his vessel inspected prior to a long voyage, I'm sure that you would refuse to get underway with him at the helm. If an airplane pilot refused to have his aircraft checked out before a long flight, I doubt that you would takeoff with him. If a business man refuses for you to look into his books, you probably would not invest in that company. BUT your self-deception and self-destruction leads you to be unwilling to face the uncomfortable facts of the true state of your lost soul. You would rather do anything than think about eternal things and the world to come: you enjoy the most vain amusements, stupid songs, and weary religious ceremonies, that are only ways for you to get release from true reflection. You continually practice crafty carelessness and carnal indifference toward Christ Himself. You dare not think of death, judgment, eternity, hell, and the wrath to come in the world to come.
A catholicon is a universal cure-all, but the catholic church is a universal poison to lost souls. The foolish idea of holy places, holy water, holy relics, or priests helping a soul is only deadly delusions.
Eternal formal lifeless religion is how the Pope makes his billions. Human nature loves second hand religion; human nature wants to put something between itself and God. Superficial Second-hand Lifeless Surface religion leaves you a dismal void inside in the end. The Faith which saves the Soul must be personal faith in JESUS CHRIST, and faith cannot be performed for you by proxy, not by some priest or pope.
Pretending Super-Pious Professing Hypocritical Self-Righteous religionists go about to establish their own righteousness, and refuse to Submit to the Righteousness of God. No sinner on the face of the earth can be saved by a THING or an IT, you must be saved from your sins and Hell by a living PERSON, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. But the self-righteous sin-loving religionist refuses to go to a Sinless Person for free Salvation, so they settle for second-hand religion, and go straight down to Hell where they belong.
Your Soul's eternal destiny should be your most vital interest and highest concern. Yet you disregard your soul's dire necessity, and put off JESUS CHRIST from day to day, month to month, year to year. Human nature will use false weights and deceitful balances when dealing with the Soul, but it WILL NOT deal personally with JESUS CHRIST. Only an insane person would trick themselves into thinking to rest upon the Pope's false confidences: baby christening, communion, sacraments, outward ceremonies, adoring bread and wine, praying to Mary, lighting candles, and making wishes to patron saints.
This is the Condemnation: that LIGHT is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than LIGHT, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the LIGHT, neither cometh to the LIGHT, lest his deeds be reproved. But he that doeth Truth cometh to the LIGHT, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Be sure to notice this: The Vatican's Christ is almost always seen in one of three positions: Jesus is a baby in his mother's arms, dead in his mother's arms, or dead on a crucifix. Will you be willingly duped by a priest or the Pope? Absolution cannot be granted to you by a fellow sinner who dresses up and calls himself a priest. That is only utter absurdity. A poor mortal man who is no better than yourself in the sight of God could never "bless" your soul in any way at all. If you possess even a trace of a thinking brain, you will see through the Pope's spooky nonsense.
