Reformed Blogging

I don't have anything against the unity of the faithful praying in this time of crisis. However, prayer without action is useless. I was thinking of the well-documented Vatican scandals involve three Fs that would ruin any pastor - fornication (or sexual immorality), fame, and finances. Isn't it that the Vatican is full of these crimes? Not to mention, the finances are pretty much questionable. Sure, you've got prosperity gospel preachers who live in huge mansions but none of them have lived in houses as big as the Vatican. Sure, you've got prosperity gospel preachers with all their fame but the Pope is the religious leader with the most fame. You can also consider a lot of fornication that has been well-hidden but also well-documented. A lot of well-documented sexual immorality of the Vatican is obviously not meant for the laity of Roman Catholics to read, right?  Back when I still read through Chick Publications - I remembered the book "The Vatican Billions...

Reading through the Bible, geography, and theology has me thinking that the city of seven hills in Revelation 17-18 is Rome. It's even said that Peter used the word "Babylon" as a codename for Rome. If Peter were the first Pope then I doubt it he would call Rome as "Babylon" at all. Instead, Rome happens to be a city of seven hills. Rome has a brutal history of Christian persecution, the Vatican City is located in Rome, and you can think of how Rome can fit with the picture of the Great Whore of Revelation. Why do I think it's a sign of the times? Reading through Revelation 17-18 makes me think of how Rome itself has never been a bastion of Christianity. True, there are Italian Bible believers out there but it's good that they'd be raptured away. Just hearing that the European Union is abandoning Italy in its time of need is disturbing .  Revelation 17:12-17  12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet begun to rule, but who wil...

I remembered when I was newly saved and I thought about the Mark of the Beast. I even hear that people should not even accept a biochip implant in this day and age because it's the mark of the Beast. The claim that the current biochip is the mark of the Beast is stupid because it's not even the Tribulation period yet. Also, why are people so afraid of social security, membership shopping and whatever prototype the mark of the Beast has when it's not even the mark of the Beast? You can have membership shopping and social security - just don't take the mark of the Beast. Now another debate is that is accepting it unforgivable? I remembered an accusation against Dr. John F. MacArthur where some critics said he "condones" to accepting it. On the contrary, here's something interesting he said from the blog post " Unforgivable? ": Yes, Revelation 14:9–11 says, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on ...

I can't help but condemn the Vatican's continued "pro-life" facade. While I can agree with the Vatican on certain issues like the divinity of Christ but I can't agree with them on other issues like how they put too much importance on Jesus' earthly mother Mary or the Rosary. The same goes that I do agree with the use of due process but I can't agree with the Vatican's stand against death penalty. The hypocrisy still sickens me and still sickens me. The Vatican pretends to be the true church that Jesus built based on a severe misinterpretation of Matthew 16:18. It's always been one lie begetting another. The Roman Catholic institution is built on lies from Peter as the supposed first Pope to making Mary a co-mediator to other lies all because Scripture is taken straight out of context. The same goes for their hypocrisy of going against the death penalty. I just can't agree with the Vatican about death penalty because of what the Scriptures ha...

I remembered the false Rapture dates namely some said that it would happen on the year 2000. Then twelve years later and not having learned from quack predictions the Rapture was supposed to end on 2012. Three dates were May 21, October 21 and December 21 were assigned last 2012. I find it stupid for this reason. Jesus Himself said: Matthew 24:26 - "But of that day and hour knoweth no man , no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only ." Did you read that? No man knows when the Rapture will be. Also, the apostles were also told: Acts 1:8 - "And He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons , which the Father hath put in His own power." Jesus already said it Himself so why are people still defying what He said about knowing the times and dates? It's amazing but not all too surprising with how people today want to outsmart Jesus who is God the Son. Setting up Rapture dates is really challenging Jesus' authority and world....

I'm just amazed at how many Jews until now continue to reject the Lord Jesus Christ as their only Messiah. You even have Pope Francis telling them that they don't need to be born again. I'm sorry but the Bible clearly states that whether you are Jew or Gentile that you must be born again (John 3:3). John 8:44 has Jesus calling the unsaved Jews as children of the Devil because they're not saved. By today's incredibly stupid standards anybody who speaks against the Jewish faith could be charged with anti-Semitism. By postmodern standards, Jesus can be charged with anti-Semitism. When I think of the possibility of a Third Jewish Temple, I just want to go on a Rapture hype. I want to start setting dates but I couldn't forget how December 21, 2012 four years ago was another false Rapture date. I guess some people expected the Trumpet to sound last December 21, 2012 and there was no Trumpet. I wished it happened last December 21, 2012 but that would nullify what Je...

There's really one thing I can always tell myself is this truth: the world isn't going to get better in the long run . How do I know that? The Bible says in Matthew 24 that the world will get worse. When I try to tell people about it, all they tell me people like me are why the world is getting worse. Why do they say it's people like me who are making the world worse? I find these people nitpick on my faults never mind   that they hypocritically embrace all the worst sinners who've done worse. My faults are so big to them never mind that their religious con men have deceived people too many times. They still praise a popular person who's a habitual adulterer as praiseworthy while my shortcomings are so big to them. They think that my intolerance for other religions makes the world worse never mind radical Christianity and radical Islam have a more different mindset on how to spread the faith. For them, I'm just another hypocrite never mind that they're ...
