The Emperor Constantine in 300 AD saw that Christians were growing a lot in the Roman Empire and his empire was divided, a Christian party and another following the pagan Roman gods.

He wanted to unite and strengthen their empire and decided to make Christianity the official religion of the empire.

Over time this church officiated by empire began to defile himself with things that belonged to paganism.

They placed in the church a female deity (Maria) equal to the pagans had.

They did praise the female deity (Maria) equal to the pagans their female deities.

They posted images of deities (saints) within the same church the pagans had in their temples.

Put repetitive prayers to deities (saints) like the pagans had their deities.

Placed offerings of flowers and candles to deities (saints) like the pagans did with their deities.


And so the church was contaminated with many things that God does not allow his word.

In the castle of that time there was a king and queen, packed a queen (Maria) to the house of God and that the Bible says that there is only the King.

... There is one God, the Father, of whom are all things and for whom we live; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and for them we. I Corinthians 8: 6

One Lord, one faith, one baptism Ephesians 4: 5

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
I Timothy 2: 5


The castle had musicians to sing for the King and Queen, established the creature praise for singing praise to Mary in the church, making the same mistake of the angels who sinned because they gave praise to an angel who exalted.

God says he will not share his glory with anyone and that his people is only a bride for him, and Jesus said love and serve God alone.

Sin 1/3 of the angels 

Isaiah 14: 12-20           Ezekiel 28: 12-19
Luke 10: 18                  Revelation 12: 3, 4

I am the Lord; this is my name; my glory, for I will not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Isaiah 42: 8

... Welcome the marriage of the Lamb, and his bride has made herself ready. Revelation 19: 7

... Come, show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. Revelation 21: 9

... The Lord your God worship, and serve him only. Matthew 4: 9, 10

... Worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator ... Romans 1: 25



The castle had the image of the king, queen and nobles, placed in the church the image of King Jesus, the Queen (Mary) and nobles (saints), and that God speaks not to do anything that image exists.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or on earth beneath or in the waters under the earth. Not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity ... Exodus 20: 4, 5


The castle had a hierarchy, a person did not speak directly to the king, the church put the saints hierarchy for the person to be heard by God, they said the person is sinful to talk to God and that the holy is purer and be heard .

They took communion with God through prayer and established communication with the dead, saying that the person is not worthy of talking to God and should talk to a dead "saint" to be heard.

The Bible says that is not to try to communicate with the dead and the veil of separation was torn by Christ to have access to God, and to have audacity to get before God in prayer, and that Jesus is the only mediator to God.

Enter before God in prayer Hebrews 10: 19-22

Veil torn temple to have access to God Matthew 27: 50, 51

Jesus the only mediator to God I Timothy 2: 5

The sin of trying to communicate with the dead exists in spiritualist way listening spirits and Catholic way trying to talk to people who died (saints).

Deuteronomy 18: 10 to 12 LEV 19: 31 and 20: 6


The Catholic Church says that many teachings were passed from mouth to mouth through time and call it tradition, this tradition did not come from the apostles but the first leaders of paganized church that Emperor Constantine formed, proof that you are seeing here with so many teachings contrary to Bible that the Catholic tradition teaches.

The apostle John tells us to keep the teaching of Christ without going beyond this teaching and this is a condition to have fellowship with the Father and the Son.

Everyone who goes beyond the teaching of Christ and does not abide, hath not God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. II John 1: 9


The church formed by Constantine had five bishops in 1054 DC, decisions were made at meetings where the five bishops had the same decision-making power, the five bishops were the cities of Jerusalem, Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria.

In 1054 AD the Bishop of Rome wanted to make the decisions alone inside the church by Rome being the center of the world at that time, the other bishops did not accept and the bishop of Rome split from the other four bishops forming the Catholic Church and the other four bishops were with orthodox church name, search on "schism of the East".

The Catholic Church was getting very rich in middle age and so began to get into it men only wanted money and had nothing to do with God, were so thieves who sold the forgiveness of sins (indulgences), and the apostle Paul says that salvation is by grace (given as a gift).

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God;
Not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2: 8, 9

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus Romans 3: 24


They leave the people in a total ignorance making the Latin Mass for anyone to know what the Bible said not to disagree with them, and Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Matthew 28: 19


They tortured and killed in the Inquisition everyone who spoke that the Mass should be in the language that they understood and all that said the pope was wrong, the whore of the apocalypse drunk with the blood of God's servants.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus ... Revelation 17: 6


They made the cross which put Europeans to make wars against Arabs, killed many European and killed and tortured thousands of Arabs, and the teaching of Jesus is love.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another you. John 13: 34



They killed everyone who stood against what the pope said, if someone spoke some of these things would die down:

We sing praise to God not only for a woman
Jesus is the only mediator that God established should not pray to dead people
You can not sell the forgiveness of sins, God gives for free
We want the Mass in our language to know what the Bible says
The pope has no authority to preach different from what is written in the Bible
The pope can not kill anyone who disagrees with him, God is love




The Bible never said anything about purgatory, the idea that the person pay for their sins in purgatory is a lie and goes against what is written that Christ paid for our sins.

There is nothing we can do to clean our sins, God established that only the sacrifice of his Son can give forgiveness of sins, again adding teachings are out of the bible and giving breach to the enemy act and deceive people.

This idea is an invention of the enemy to people die relaxed anyway thinking it will pay after death and have forgiveness, they will be condemned because they threw away their only chance to be faithful and just now left the final judgment.

Christ will give forgiveness to those who repent of their sins, the apostle Paul says that salvation is given grace through faith, not through the good work we did, but thanks to the sacrifice of Christ.

The Bible does not say that we can approach God and achieve something from him through charities or penance or sacrifice, but says he accepts the person of grace for their love because he wants this sinner along with it.

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus Romans 3: 23, 24

but, having offered one sacrifice for sins, he sat down forever at God's right
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Hebrews 10: 12, 14

even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace ye are saved),
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Eph 2: 5, 8, 9

For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Romans 10: 3, 4

... Because if it was a law given which could give life, justice actually would have been by the law.
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Galatians 3: 21, 22

But if by grace, no longer by works; otherwise grace is no more grace.
Romans 11: 6


Jesus took the wine at the Last Supper and said that his blood would be shed for the remission of sins.

For this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins Matthew 26: 28




The definition of what is a saint in the Bible.

The Bible calls saints all the people who are part of the church, holy means "set apart for God," are people who broke up the things of this world to live following Christ.

It's not like the Catholic Church says that some are special and only these are holy, bible calls all brothers of saints.

Santo is a Christian who is saved, is not holy mediator to God as the Catholic church speaks, the only mediator to God is Christ.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
I Timothy 2: 5

But Ananias answered: Lord, have heard from many about this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem Acts 9: 13

It happened, as Peter went everywhere, also came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda "Acts 9:. 32

What also did in Jerusalem. And, having received authority from the chief priests, shut up many of the saints in prisons; and they killed when I cast my vote against them.
Acts 26: 10

To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 1: 7

Communicate with the necessity of saints, given to hospitality Romans 12: 13

For it seemed good to Macedonia and Achaia to make a collection for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. Romans 15: 26

That ye receive her in the Lord as befits the saints, and help her in whatever matter she may have need of you; because it has hosted many, as well as myself. Romans 16: 2

Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them. Romans 16: 15

To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours
I Corinthians 1: 2

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife; and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; else were your children unclean; but now they are holy. I Corinthians 7: 14

Now concerning the collection that for the saints, you also do the same as I ordered the churches of Galatia. I Corinthians 16: 1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia. II Corinthians 1: 1

Praying us with many entreaties we accept the grace and communication of this service, which was done to the saints. II Corinthians 8: 4

Because the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many graces that are given to God. II Corinthians 9: 12

Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints salute you. II Corinthians 13: 12

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus Ephesians 1: 1

He chose us in him before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blame before him in love Ephesians 1: 4

Therefore, I also heard of your faith in for you in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints Ephesians 1: 15

The Lord conjure you that this letter be read to all the holy brethren. I Thessalonians 5: 27

But like the Holy One who called you, be ye holy in all manner of conversation I Peter 1: 15




About Holy Communion with bread and wine

We must follow the biblical model supper and do exactly as Christ did.

In the last supper Jesus gave the disciples bread to eat and said "this is my body," the apostles chewed the bread that Jesus said was his body.

Today at supper time should be given bread for the people eat and be repeated the same thing Christ said "this is my body", faithfully following the example he left.

Is wrong the Catholic idea that you can not chew the bread, Jesus said "eat," to eat the chewed apostles, He gave also wine and supper every Christian should take the wine too, not just the bread as the priests say.

The Catholic Church today prefers to keep wrong traditions of the past than to the supper as written what happened following the biblical model being chewed with bread and wine for everyone.


And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all;
For this is my blood, the blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Matthew 26: 26-28




The Bible never taught baptism in children but in adults

The Bible shows that the condition of the person being baptized is to repent of their sins without repentance does not help to be baptized.

Baptism is a private thing between the person and God, it means she repents of her sinful life and want to live a new life doing the will of God.

Children have no sin to repent and not the choice if they want to repent, and the decision should be the person, is not valid any parents trying to make the decision for the child, the condition left in the scripture is clear "repent" .

The biblical example of the baptism of Jesus shows that he was baptized adult, we should follow this example and only baptized people who may have choice they want to be baptized, not babies.


Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be blotted out, so come the times of refreshing the presence of the Lord
Acts 3: 19

John did baptize in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
And all the land of Judea and Jerusalem of the came to him; and all were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Mark 1: 4, 5

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance
And I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance; but he that cometh after me is mightier than I; whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Matthew 3: 7, 8, 11



Baptism is a figure that represents death to the old life when a person enters the water and the person being resurrected to a new life doing the will of God when it comes out of the water.

The person who is baptized has to die for the things of this earth and live a new life for God alone.

Buried with him in baptism, it also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
And when you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses Colossians 2: 12, 13

Do you not know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also of his resurrection;
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that also live with him;
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has dominion over him.
For in that he died, since he died to sin; but how to live, live for God.
So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6: 3-11

That too, like figure, now saves you, baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ I Peter 3: 21


The biblical example on children is to introduce them in the temple as Jesus was presented as a baby and then baptized as an adult.

And, fulfilling the days of her purification according to the law of Moses and brought him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord Luke 2: 22




The apostle Paul said that the preacher must be married

The apostle Paul said that the preacher must be married, the idea that the preacher (priest) must be single is not biblical and puts a heavy burden on the preacher and places it in a situation where it is easier to happen a scandal.

The idea that must be single is a teaching out of the Bible, which requires the preacher a sacrifice that God does not require, on the contrary it allows.

This is a faithful saying: If anyone wishes to the episcopate, desireth a good work.
It is therefore appropriate that the bishop must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, honest, hospitable, able to teach;
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
One who rules his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, shall you take care of God's church?)
Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses.
I Timothy 3: 1 to 5 , 12
