People continue asking, “Did Vatican II change the dogma of Roman Catholic Church concerning what they teach about the Church and salvation?” And it seems that no matter how many times we try and tell people that it did not they continue to ask. So in this article I now ask a question in return: Will the pope do?
Apprising Ministries has covered this [...]

There is a major myth perpetually perpetrated by papal pretenders and their apostate Roman Catholicism that when we read the “holy and catholic church” in the ancient creeds this is actually a reference to the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). When the truth is the RCC itself is a false religious system, a pseudo-Christianity, which Dr. John [...]

With all the revisionist history going on today and “Protestant” evangelicalism’s sordid lust affair with Roman Catholic mystics and their Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism this short post here at Apprising Ministries is to draw to your attention to the fact that Martin Luther himself considered Roman Catholicism apostate.
And, um, to put it that way is actually being kind. Here’s an [...]

As one who has been studying the origin of the Bible, apologetics and Comparative Religion for the better part of twenty-one years I had the privilege of being led of the Lord to the excellent defence of the historic orthodox Christian faith put forth by the Dr. Walter Martin (1928-1989). A small portion of my studies involved his teachings, [...]

Soon after apostolic times there came the old
Roman rubbish, which in the end proved a
worse hindrance to the gospel than all the
errors which had preceded it.
This Popish rubbish was found in layers; first
one doctrinal error, and then another, and then
another, and then another, and then another,
until at this time the errors of the Church of
Rome [...]

Many man-centered pied pipers of “Protestant” postevangelicalism and the Emerging Church continue a repudiation of Sola Scriptura in their sordid lust affair with spiritually corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism, which flowered in the antibiblical monastic traditions of apostate Roman Catholicism.
In their desire for existential experiences centered on the self and a phony form of ”unity” they have turned to the mystic speculations of spurious Spiritual [...]

With what indignation, then, must the Lord look down upon that apostate harlot, called the Romish Church, when, in all her sanctuaries, there are pictures and images, relics and slivines, and poor infatuated beings are even taught to bow before a piece of bread. In this country, Popish idolatry is not so barefaced and naked [...]

Because of its views on Tradition Rome also rejects most of the great attributes of canonical Scripture which Protestantism holds in the highest esteem, namely, Scripture’s self-canonization, its inerrancy, its necessity, its self-attestation, its sufficiency, its perspicuity, and its finality.
So historic Protestantism and Roman Catholicism do not share the same Bible, either extensively as to [...]

You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.
(Galatians 5:4-6, NASB)
What Is Really At Stake
As you should [...]

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. (Colossians 2:8, ESV)
The Roman Catholic Church Speaks
We will begin this Apprising Ministries short piece concerning apostate Roman Catholicism by looking at what the Church of Rome herself [...]
