    Every good Catholic wants to please God in this present life and, when life on earth is over, hopes to live with Him forever.

    Absolute Biblical Truth Opposed by Roman Catholicism

    The Lord Jesus Christ promised the Apostles, “when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth.”[1]  “All truth” signifies all revealed truth, which is recorded in the written Word.  This promise was precise, “He will guide you into all truth,” not all truths (plural), but rather “all truth.”  God’s truth is an indissoluble, balanced and harmonious Read More

    The Bible is the Absolute Basis of Truth

    Scripture Alone is Inspired and Inherently Authoritative. The Biblical message breathed out by God is revelation in written form.

    Why Does Rome Oppose Christ’s Way of Salvation?

    Scriptural Meaning of Justification The precise import of the term “to justify” is clearly seen in that it is the exact opposite or contrast to the term “to condemn.” “It is God that justifies.

    The Biblical Mary Vs. the Catholic Queen of Heaven

    The Catholic Church constructs a parallel of Mary to Christ Jesus. It teaches that just as Christ was sinless, so was Mary. Just as grace comes from Christ, so Mary is the mother of grace. Just as the Lord saves His people from their sins, so Mary is the cause of salvation. The Bible clearly states that there is only one mediator for mankind; amazingly the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that Mary is a mediator. Former Priest Richard Bennett analyzes the obvious contractions between Biblical truth and the Catholic tradition.

    You are Peter: The Papal Claim to have the Authority of the Apostle Peter

    Pastor W. J. Mencarow, along with Richard Bennett, clearly documents the historical facts behind the Papal power pretensions. The Lord clearly stated that upon His divinity as “the Son of the living God,” and His role as the Messiah He is, in fact, the Rock on which His Church is built. Nonetheless, the Papacy declares its Church to be founded on the Apostle Peter alone. This is the lynch-pin of Roman Catholicism.

    The Curse of Dual Authorities

    Richard Bennett, former Catholic priest, compares the 1994 Catholic Catechism of the Catholic Church with the Bible.

    The Mindset of Catholicism Permeating Evangelicalism

    Richard Bennett highlights the Catholic Church’s official teaching that people are spiritually wounded rather than being spiritually dead in trespasses and sins and in need of conviction and conversion. He shows how this same mindset has become the basis of the so-called gospel message in the New Evangelical movement and its churches. The Catholic mindset of propagating images of Christ now accepted in New Evangelical churches in pictures of Christ, Sunday school materials and DVDs is shown
    to be the most dangerous of the Catholic mindsets to pervade Christian circles.

    The Bible and Tradition by Richard Bennett and Bill Webster

    What was the authority of faith for the first Christians in the early apostolic church? This question is critical to understanding the basis of God’s revelation for how He expects His people to live. Bill Webster discusses this important question in this interview with Richard Bennett. Christians throughout the centuries, along with the early church, have affirmed that the Bible is the only written revelation we have from God.
    Only the Scriptures can tell us about God and His will for mankind. The Scriptures are reliable and sufficient for matters of faith, doctrine, and life. It is important to understand this foundational truth at the present time.

    Absolute Biblical Truth Opposed by Roman Catholicism


    The Lord Jesus Christ promised the Apostles, “when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth.” “All truth” signifies all revealed truth, which is recorded in the written Word.   God’s truth is an indissoluble, balanced and harmonious whole.  In the Bible we have “all truth.”  This is clearly understood by inference in the last scriptural command, “If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.”
