The REAL Jesus
There is "another Jesus" that is not the REAL Jesus of
the Bible (2 Cor. 11:4). Salvation can only take place
only through faith in the REAL Jesus. Faith in
"another Jesus" cannot save anyone. So how can you
tell if you have the REAL Jesus?
The Jesus of the Bible...
-- is prayed to - Acts 7:55-60; Psalm 116:4
and Zech. 13:9 with 1 Cor. 1:1-2
-- is worshiped - Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; 28:9;
John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6
-- is called God - John 20:28; Heb. 1:8; Isa.
9:6
-- is the ONLY way to God - John 14:6; Acts
4:12
-- did not come to bring peace, but a
sword - Matt. 10:34
-- tells us to fear God - Matt. 10:28
-- tells us that the world will hate us - John
15:18-19, 17:14
-- tells us Christians can expect to suffer -
Matt. 5:45; John 16:33; Heb. 11:35-38; 1 Pet.
4:12; 1 John 3:13
-- commands us share the gospel - Matt.
28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8

Christians always worship Jesus Christ and because of that the early church was always persecuted by those who opposed the truth but wanted the pope to be worshiped. Who were the so called church that persecuted the early church and the church throughout the dark ages, it was the CATHOLICS and it is strange that they consider to be the only true church when if fact they are a false church that revelations warns us against. False teachers and false prophets will arise and deceive many.

What is the source for such ignorance and hatred. It must come from the spiritual realm and the father of lies.
Catholics worship only God and no other and are part of the original Christian Church started by Christ and the apostles. We wrote the Bible and Canonized the Bible as being inspired under the authority given directly by Christ to His Church. We would not have wrote the Bible and Canonized the Bible if we did not believe it to be the Word of God.
In Christ

I do not really know why people worship any thing but the fact that they are alive.
The pope is a hand me down from older religions such as Jupiter worship, that is why it is males only, how anyone can think that anyone is any closer to an all encompassing god is a truly significant question about the psychology of worship and the general mentality of those who practice such strange things.
there is no greater capitalist enterprise than the Vatican,

LOL---REALLY... QU'RAN WAS WRITTEN AFTER JESUS... Allah is the Arabic language word referring to "God", "the Lord" and, literally according to the Qur'an, to the "God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" in the Abrahamic religions. It does not mean "a god", but rather "the Only God", the Supreme Creator of the universe, and it is the main term for the deity in Islam. However, "Allah" is not restricted to just Islam, and used by Christians and Jew s according to geographic region. Allāh is found in the Qur'an and in Arabic translations of both the Tanakh and the Gospels and even in the Indonesian translations of the Bible. Christians believe that Allāh is ath-Thalouth al-Muqaddas - The Holy Trinity, thus whole Allāh is consisted from Abu-Father, Bin-Son, and Ruh-Spirit. AFTER THE FACT............

Which is why I get upset every time I watch a History channel program that speaks about Christians and Christianity but is actually speaking of Catholicism and Catholic. The Catholic church has left its first love (Jesus Christ) and is now blinded tot he truth of God's Word. How can you claim to be a Christian but dispute the validity of Holy Scripture? How anyone can believe that tradition should supersede truth is beyond me.

Catholics do not worship the Pope. Worship is reserved for God alone.

Because the Pope is not Jesus Christ and the Pope is not God. So we don't worship the Pope.

Catholics worship the "pope" (who isn't in the Bible but is an antichrist) because catholics are not saved and are not Christians. Catholics believe a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell.
Bible teachers that said that the Vatican and the catholic cult are an antichrist: John Bunyan, John Huss, John Wycliffe, John Calvin, William Tyndale, John Knox, Thomas Bacon, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, Samuel Cooper, John Cotton, and Jonathan Edwards

because the pope is a sinner, Romans 2:23. But yes they do consider him to be the Vicar of Christ. Shame shame because you can't be in the place of Christ unless your perfect/without sin.
The Roman Catholics see the pope as Christ’s vicar, which means, substitute. The pope’s Latin title is Vicarius Filii Dei, which means "Substitute for the Son of God." What you catholics need to realize is where you "heritage" is at, it's here in italy learn it and see what they do.
