20 WAYS RELIGIOUS CULTS MISREAD THE BIBLE (THE ART OF SCRIPTURE TWISTING) #3

Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater (search BibleQuery.org & HistoryCart.com) reviews official Roman Catholic religious tradition & doctrine with former Roman Catholic follower Rob Zins, ThM of Dallas Theological Seminary & director of "A Christian Witness to Roman Catholicism". The Roman Catholic "Gospel" versus the Biblical one is exposed in for all to see. The entire one hour program can be seen on Yahoo Video, search "Larry Wessels" on their homepage. Catholic traditions and inventions such as prayers for the dead, prayers to angels, prayers to Mary, veneration of dead saints & angels, holy water, monks, relics, rosaries, indulgences, shrines, statues, celibacy of the priesthood, nuns, & a host of other Romanist practices actually supercede the authority of the Bible creating a different gospel than the one presented in scripture. Galatians 1:6-9 curses those who believe in a different gospel. This episode covers the way Roman Catholic theologians "twist the scriptures" with their alternate ways of misreading the Bible in the same way modern cultists such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Campbellites, Seventh-Day Adventists, New Agers, Mystics, Occultists, Nation of Islam, & many others do. This show originally aired on the Austin, Texas public access channel to 300,000 households in its full length form. To see these shows the way they initially appeared go to YAHOO VIDEO or GOOGLE VIDEO (search "Roman Catholicism" or "Larry Wessels" once on their homepage & look for it).

Remember "church" does not save you from the wrath of God but a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit does(John 3:3-8, Titus 3:5-7) and this does not mean water baptism or some other "work" (1 Corinthians 1:14-19, Ephesians 2:8-10, John 1:12-13, Romans 9:11-16).

I would like to see a video of these two very informed gentleman presenting evidence of their own religion or denomination not being a cult.

[CAnswersTV]

@justoch "Cults" generally defined by these men are "groups or sects that deny essential doctrines of the Christian faith established in Biblical scripture." Thus a "cult," as defined by them, would be some group such as Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam, Joe Smith's Mormonism, Charles Russell's Jehovah's Witnesses which would invariably deny some or many essential Bible doctrines (who is God?, atonement, etc). Test them by comparing the "1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith" to the Bible.

[justoch]

@CAnswersTV but if you consider a "cult" as a group whose beliefs or practices are abnormal or bizarre, i think we can surely find abnormal behavior in all other religions but our own, and the member of another religion can do the same, even if both of us are using the Bible as a guide. I have seen people debating who has the real religion and who the cult, shooting Bible verses pass each other like a rap battle. It is rare to hear someone objectively talking about their own religion.

[CAnswersTV]

@justoch I noticed that you replied to my comment within an hour meaning you've no real interest in really investigating whether our "confession of faith" is true or not. In fact, since you're not willing to study the issue as to its validity this proves your insincereity regarding this whole discussion. This then infers that the rhetoric you're using is meaningless since you could care less anyway, get it? You'll never know who's telling the truth in a "Bible verse" shootout without research.

Why are thay striking me as not really christians. but a couple of information twisting freaks

[CAnswersTV]

@davidnco1 Here you aren't proving these men are wrong, you're simply calling them names (logical fallacy of AD HOMINEM) which proves nothing. By saying they are not Christians is to refute your own Romanist religion which teaches that people not in the Romanist religious system are still "separated brethren." See the final 2 shows in our 16 hour series on Romanism (type LARRY WESSELS ROMAN CATHOLICISM in the Youtube search box to find) : show #15 ("Atheists Saved") & #16 ("Shifting Vatican 2").

@Thunderbolt1000T You must realize that this is just a ten minute clip from a one hour telecast. 10 minute clips (due to YOUTUBE time restriction since we are not grandfathered into their system) cannot cover what a 1 hour show will do. This clip comes from episode #11 from our 16 hour series on Roman Catholicism posted on GOOGLE & YAHOO VIDEO (once on their homepage type LARRY WESSELS & look for it; also see our numerous shows on CAMPBELLISM dealing with water baptism in regard to John 3:5).
