Well, tonight I can't think of anything more relevant or profitable for us than to study from the word of God, in the love of Christ that he sheds abroad from our hearts, truly what the Bible teaches us about what we believe.
SEVEN HUGE REASONS
There're seven specific biblical reasons why I believe that Roman Catholicism is anti-biblical and also wrong.
The first is the mass. The second is the role of Mary. The third is the persistent usurpation or usurping of scriptures by tradition. In other words, if you put tradition of the church in scripture in a box and shake it up and let it out, tradition will always come out on top, over the scripture; which, by the way, all of these are not merely Roman problems. In this church, we're often afflicted with tradition over the Bible. The Roman church has been around for about 1600 years, so they've had a lot longer to build their traditions. The fourth reason is the veneration or worship of images. The fifth reason is the falseness of the sacraments. The sixth reason is the lie of purgatory, and I couldn't think of any more polite way of saying that. And the last reason, which I think most of you will find the most fascinating (and it's always been a fascination to me), the tie of Paganism to the Roman Catholic Church. I'll just kind of explain that one to you before I begin tonight.

“ Great Sermon! ” I was saved out of Catholicism and I thank My Savior daily! This was so clear and I’m grateful for your preparation and presentation! I didn’t know half of all you taught in this message. At 21 I was drawn to Christ my Lord unto salvation. This false church keeps its people in a trance of going through the motions of weekly mass and coming away knowing nothing about freedom in Christ! I can’t wait to hear the whole series! God bless you Dr. Barnett!
