Peter would never have approved of a 46-foot statue erected in his honor. When Cornelius bowed before Peter, Peter stopped him saying, “Stand up; I myself also am a man” (Acts 10:26).
I want to see one example in the Bible where even one apostle encouraged monuments to himself.
Apostolic succession is a JOKE! Claiming to be any apostle's successor means very little when you're not following their example.
Any religion that teaches you the Bible is not the ultimate authority on truth is leading you away from God. I don't care how old that religion is, how powerful its leaders are, or how sacred it believes its traditions to be. If God's Word isn't the final authority, you're on the wide road to perdition. There, I said it!
Apostolic succession? Where? Not a single apostle would have approved of a monument erected in his honor in a public square. Peter didn't even consider himself worthy to be crucified the same way Christ was, yet here we are, putting up monuments to the pope! I'm sitting here waiting for him to denounce this graven image of himself. What a shameful travesty!
I have a question for everybody screaming for the Epstein files to be released, and rightfully so. Will you bring that same energy when it comes to the Catholic Church? Demand that ALL its files on child sexual abuse, predator priests, and the people who covered for them be released too! I don't care whether the predator is a billionaire, a politician, or a priest wearing a collar. EXPOSE THEM ALL! Stop picking and choosing which pedophiles deserve protection!
"Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.” ... And in the morning, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots."
(Mark 11:14, 20) 📖
Why did Jesus curse a simple tree? 🌳🤔
Figs grow before leaves. The green leaves on the tree signaled a harvest, but underneath lay absolutely nothing. 🍂
Just a day earlier on Palm Sunday, Jerusalem was full of loud "leaves"—crowds waving palm branches.
Yet underneath the performance, their hearts held no real fruit.
Outward religious display cannot satisfy Him. If faith is only about looking impressive, it eventually dies at the roots. 🥀
Are we offering Him loud leaves or real fruit? 🍉
Give Him your heart today, not your leaves. 🕊️
Pharisees: "Abraham is our father" (John 8:39)
Jesus: "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham"
Catholics: "Peter is our first Pope"
Jesus: "If you truly succeeded the authority of Peter, you would do the works of Peter."
Catholism 🤝 Pharisaism
