"Amidst the Fog of Dogma: Exposing Falsehoods, Upholding True Gospel"
We are living in an era where religion is diluted by embellishments, and the true Gospel is obscured by organizations bearing the Christian name but no longer holding onto the core of salvation. Sadly, the Roman Catholic Church — despite its long history and massive scale — has long strayed from the true foundation of the Gospel to embrace erroneous doctrines, leading millions of souls away from the cross.
Catholicism — A "False Gospel Disguised as Reverence"
Today's Catholicism is nothing more than a distorted copy of the Gospel. They invoke the name of Jesus but worship Mary as a co-redeemer. They call grace a gift but demand merit. They openly strip away the personal connection between believers and the Savior by erecting a "clerical" barrier — where only priests have the authority to forgive sins, where sacraments replace a living relationship, where confession is made to man rather than to God. This is a blatant affront to the cross — where everyone can come to Him without any intermediary other than Jesus Christ Himself.
The Gospel — Jonah Harboring Pride
It is truly tragic when the Gospel — those who were once enlightened, who stepped out of the Catholic darkness — behave no differently than the prophet Jonah. They are not wrong in their beliefs, but they are wrong in their attitude. They know the true Gospel, but instead of spreading it with compassion, they close their hearts, despising those lost in false doctrines. Instead of reaching out to pull others from the sea of death, they sit there, in anger, unwilling for "sinners to be saved," just like Jonah when he saw the people of Nineveh repent.
Jesus came for sinners. He never came with the goal of building a powerful church, but to save lost souls — not through denominations, but through true faith in Him. But today's churches have forgotten that. Catholicism adds to the Gospel, while the Gospel holds onto the Gospel but refuses to share it due to pride and prejudice.
Conclusion — Only Those Who Place Their Faith in the Right One Will Be Saved
Every church is full of faults, for every person is full of faults. No denomination is perfect, for the church is a gathering of those who were once lost. But what brings life does not lie in the denomination, but in this: do you place your faith in the right One? Not in Mary, not in the pope, not in rituals or sacraments. Not in self-righteousness, denominational faith, or personal piety. But only in Jesus Christ alone, who died for your sins and rose again to declare you justified by faith alone.
If we are wrong in 99 things, but right in one thing: truly believing in the Savior, we will still be saved. But if we are right in 99 things, but wrong in one thing: relying on ourselves or others to add to salvation, then all is in vain.
This is the time for the church to awaken. To speak the truth, live the truth, and proclaim the true Gospel — undiluted, uncompromising, unsoftened for itching ears — just as Jesus Himself did. Once again, I emphasize, you do not need to be perfect, nor do you need merit, but you only need to do one thing right and only this one thing: truly believe in Jesus Christ who died on the cross.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
