The Catholic Church's heretofore historical defense of conservative principles, capitalism, and traditional Biblical morality is about to change dramatically.

Many believe that the Catholic Church is in decline. However, Pope Benedict XVI will use the abuse scandal to help his Church emerge even stronger.

Outcome based religion exalts numerical growth and feeling good over the truth of God, promoting the use of modern psychology over 'divisive' biblical doctrine.

The resignation of Pope Benedict XVI was shocking because a pope had not resigned from office since Gregory XII ended his nine-year papacy by resigning in 1415.

The Catholic Church admits to changing the day of worship from Sabbath to Sunday. Protestants who keep Sunday are bowing to presumed Catholic authority.

There have been many moves initiated by European labor unions and backed by interfaith churches designed to enforce Sunday as the universal day of rest.

Protestantism recognizes no rule of faith except the Bible, yet the Bible nowhere gives Protestantism the authority to change the day of worship to Sunday.

Protestants will not concede Papal authority. Instead, they justify Sunday-worship by saying they are honoring the day on which Christ rose from the dead.

Mainstream Christianity has unwittingly embraced the symbol of Dagon, attaching this fish symbol to Christ. Worship aids and reminders are idolatry.

Jesus never deviated from observing the 7th-day Sabbath, nor ever hinted at moving its holiness or sanctification to the first day of the week.

Revelation 17 depicts a fallen woman astride a beast, drunk with the blood of God's saints. Whom does this image represent? History makes the answer plain!

'The day of the Lord' or 'the Lord's day' is not a reference to the fist day of the week (Sunday) but to the time of Jesus Christ's judgment at His return.

The symbol of the cross flourished centuries before Christ came on the scene, serving as an initial for Tammuz. God's true church has never used the cross.

Will wearing a silver cross around the neck keep a person from harm? Will it stay the hand of Satan? Superstitions about the cross arose long before Christ.

The world's churches have adopted the fertility symbols of Easter bunnies, Easter eggs, and the traditional Easter ham from pagan, pre-Christian rituals.

New Year's Eve may seem like an innocuous, secular holiday, but it, too, has ties to ungodly, pre-Christian customs and religious practices.

Why do we not keep Christmas? Jesus was not born on December 25, during Saturnalia, a pagan festival. It is a commercialized holiday rife with lies.

How much will Pope Benedict XVI be able to accomplish—and will his efforts incite turmoil in Europe?

God is not a closed triangular Trinity, but a family consisting of God the Father and God the Son, and will include billions of resurrected, glorified saints.

Many believe that the God of the Old Testament was a cruel, angry God, while Jesus, the God of the New Testament, is kind and loving. Here's what Scripture shows.

The Roman Catholic Church elected a conservative, Jesuit cardinal, staunchly anti-homosexual, loyal to tradition and orthodoxy, frugal, and self-disciplined.

A rare event occurred when Pope Benedict XVI resigned his office. He has been succeeded by an Argentinian who took the papal name of Francis.

Catholics eat fish on Friday as a form of penance, commemorating Christ's supposed death on 'Good' Friday. During pagan Lent, eating fish on Friday is mandatory.

In an interview with a longtime friend and atheist, Pope Francis said that hell does not exist, explaining that condemned souls just disappear.

How many churches have produced splits because someone in the congregation deviated from what God clearly states and forced the issue on the leadership?

Satan has been using advances in technology to advance his agenda to neutralize religious liberty, replacing it with a 'progressive', humanistic agenda.

The Catholic Church places great importance on Mary, to the point that many Catholics are pushing for Mary to be recognized as 'Co-Redemptrix!

Paul warned the Colossians of scholarly men who would try to mix God's truth with vain philosophy based on the tradition of men instead of Jesus Christ.

William Tyndale's desire to translate the Bible into English aroused the ire of governmental and church elites, resulting in his martyrdom.

God-designed personalities, having His character, will make up God's family, not self-made personalities created by human will. We must yield as He creates.

The Europe of the past few decades has honestly earned the label of 'that vast plain of irreligion.' Ironically, religion caused its secularization.

Martin Luther, feeling 'God's' (the Catholic church's) standards were too hard to obey, found solace in Romans 1:17 and the idea of 'faith alone.'

God never accepts worship that comes from human reasoning and the traditions of man. The starting point for worship must always be God and His revelation.

Despite the Council of Laodicea's condemnation of the Sabbath, a group of believers termed Paulicians kept God's laws and resisted the heresy from Rome.

Nowhere in the Bible are we told to venerate the symbol of the cross. The early church certainly did not. It was introduced into Catholic churches in AD 431.

God has sanctified no day other than the Sabbath. Sunday worship is a pagan deviation, perpetuated by Gnosticism, a movement that despises God's laws.

For centuries across Europe, Catholicism taught that the Jews were guilty of deicide—the murder of Jesus. False teaching like this leads to horrible results.

Christmas, Easter, and Halloween all derive from sex, fertility, and sun worship. Christmas traces to the incestuous relationship of Semiramis and Nimrod.

Christmas is a bundle of contradictions, inanities, and outright lies. Most people, even Christians, are aware of this yet still observe this pagan day.

World news, events, and trends from the standpoint of biblical prophecy for November 2004.

The New Testament contains no calls to get involved in government to affect change in society. The change must be internal and individual, not a crusade.

Pope Francis' 2030 agenda calls for a one world Holy Catholic Apostolic Church. The Papacy cast out its net to the evangelicals starting in July of 2014.

The Gnostics criticized by Paul in Colossians 2:16-17 were guilty of bringing in ritualistic ascetic discipline to propitiate demons.

St. Valentine's Day started as a lewd, sensual, pagan festival in Rome. Lupercalia is a rite connected with fertility, honoring Venus, the goddess of sex.

Jesus had served the people all day, but when He entered Simon Peter's house, He found He had one more miracle to perform: healing Peter's mother-in-law.

Catholic clergy have been the target of the media, yet Protestant ministers actually have a higher rate of sexual abuse. The rate is even higher among teachers.

The Catholic Church did not forbid keeping the Passover until AD 325. The controversy over Passover or Easter boils down to following Scripture or Roman tradition.

Catholics and Protestants, because of lack of belief, do not find the Bible a sufficient guide to salvation. They claim to believe Christ, yet disobey.

Valentine's Day, firmly rooted in paganism, concentrates on lust and sexual immorality, which are contrary to the way of life that pleases God.

Though Satan has been working feverishly for thousands of years, the most dramatic erosion of spiritual and moral values has occurred in the last 70 years.

Nothing is more confused than the state of religion today. However, God's people can stay above the fray by being firmly grounded in His Word.

Jesus magnified the Sabbath, giving principles by which to judge our activities. Each time Jesus taught about the Sabbath, He emphasized some form of redemption.

New Year's celebrations often involve drunkenness, debauchery, and adultery. God commands us to separate ourselves from these customs and traditions of the world.

The prevailing view is that at the end time, God will judge between the righteous and unrighteous, consigning each to heaven or hell, an idea from paganism.

The scattering of the church of God reflects a more general trend on the world scene—the disintegration of the major religions into millions of pieces.

Most of Christianity believes in the Trinity, but a slim minority holds to a much older belief, one that hearkens back to the earliest Christians.

We must avoid forgetting the connection between past and present, especially as our forebears had to battle outer and inner enemies of God's truth.

Satan has been engineering a conspiratorial plan modeled after God's propensity to work through families, working with familial traits and temperaments.

We must escape the influence of our defective culture, sacrificing our time in Bible study and meditation, coming to know God and doing His will.

Considering the events and trends exhibited in the modern church of God, will it follow the disastrous example of early second-century Christianity?

The elect are not immune to antinomian deception, including the doctrine of eternal security, the total depravity of man, unconditional love, and cheap grace.

The early church was invaded by Gnosticism that denigrated the 'enslavement to Yahweh, His Law, and the Sabbath,' replacing it with Greek philosophy.

How and why a person keeps the Sabbath determines whether this test commandment is really a sign between God and His people or an act of futility.

February 14, Valentine's Day, may seem harmless until the truth of its origins comes to light. Here is what lies behind this licentious, pagan day.

The Sabbath is a special creation, a very specific period of holy time given to all of mankind, reminding us that God created and is continuing to create.
