I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ Has Offended every Catholic in Catholic Church or Bible Only - Debate,,, Romans 9:33 refers to Christ as a “stumblingblock” and a Rock of offence.” Jesus clearly taught in Matthew 10:34,35 that He did NOT come to this world to bring peace. Let me clarify, Jesus did come to die upon the cross for our sins; thus, enabling us to have peace with God through the precious shed blood of Jesus Christ. BUT, Jesus also expects us to preach the Gospel, which OFFENDS most people. Let me define “Gospel” so there is no misunderstanding. 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 defines the “Gospel” as the DEATH, BURIAL, and RESURRECTION of Christ Jesus. This includes the blood of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:9). Now, you all can get upset at me if you want, but the Bible calls the Catholic religion cursed! Why? Because they are NOT teaching the Gospel put forth in the Word of God. Mary is not recognized in any capacity in the Word of God, yet Catholics idolize her with vain repetitions of “Hail Mary!” (53 times per Rosary). This is dead religion, and rejected by God (Matthew 6:7; Mark 7:7-13). Religion wants to fit us with glasses, but the Lord wants to open our eyes. Catholicism is a prisonhouse of religion. Satan knows that its much easier to trick someone into believe in the Gospel PLUS something, than it is trying to get them to reject the Gospel altogether. So instead of trying to get people out of church, Satan works to get people into religions that ADDS to (or DIMINISHES) the simple Gospel. The Jehovah Witnesses DIMINISH the truth, by denying the Godhead and deity of Jesus Christ. Catholics ADD Mary worship and sacraments to faith. In fact, all recent popes have taught that faith in Christ is not even necessary to be saved. The popes teach damnable heresy! Lutherans ADD the sacraments. The Bahai faith DIMINISHES the truth by claiming that there are numerous ways to the light, in clear contrast to the Biblical teaching that there is ONLY ONE WAY to Heaven, i.e., through the Lord Christ Jesus (John 14:6). Seventh Day Adventists ADD Sabbath keeping and good works to faith alone in Christ. In one way or another, every religious false cult ADDS or DIMINISHES the Word of God. The Bible plainly teaches that salvation is by faith ALONE in Christ Jesus, by the literal blood which He shed for our sins (1st Peter 1:18-19). This is why the Apostle Paul declared in Romans 1:16 that he was not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth...” The power to be saved is in Jesus Christ alone (John 14:6); NOT the pope, not the priest, not a religion, not the sacraments—But ONLY Jesus (Acts 4:12).
