The Gospel Grinch: the Roman Catholic False Gospel

To lost and doomed sinners, Christ's simple Gospel promise of Salvation and Eternal Life to everyone who trusts in Him is the perfect Gift. The doctrines of imputation and substitution and justification by faith do not detract from Christ's simplicity - rather they adorn it, and explain the power and method behind Christ's simple offer.

But the Roman Catholic false gospel takes away all the power, beauty, satisfaction, and simplicity of Christ's Gospel.

That false gospel teaches that faith in Christ is but the door, past which are a life-time of works, rituals, and submission to the unscriptural demands of the Roman system.

The Roman false gospel teaches that Christ's sacrifce was not enough, but that baptisms and blasphemous celebrations of the mass and penance and good works must be added to Christ.

Under the false Roman gospel, a man can trust in Jesus and go to hell in the end. The perfect Gift of full forgiveness and eternal life, received at the point of faith, has been spirited away by the teachings of popes and so-called priests.

Instead, the perfect Gift of salvation has been snatched away, and Christ's righteousness and blood are horded from sinners in the so-called "treasury of merit" to be doled out little by little by church functionaries upon the fulfillment of their demands upon the sinner.

Indeed, the Roman Catholic system is the Grinch that stole away the perfect gift and left behind only the empty box and pretty wrappings.

Their priests claim to offer daily a bloodless sacrifice which never completely justifies the sinner. They never rest, but praise God! our high Priest has sat down, for His sacrifice forever makes us perfect!
