Dear Sirs, I love your Hypocrites on Parade. Excellent work! Do you have any previous movies that you could forward? Thanks. Pastor Mark ______________________________________________
SUBJECT: Offended Lutheran
As a confessing Lutheran - I am deeply insulted that when you presented your list of Reformation doctrines re: the Papal Antichrist, you did not include Melanchthon's "Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope" - penned in1537, signed by 32 theologians (Luther was deathly ill at the time) and included in the Book of Concord of 1580. I believe that makes us first!!!! ________________________________________
SUBJECT: Education? I’m just wondering where you get your information and what your qualifications are? Do you have a degree? Or any collegiate education? The language and style edit of your site leads me to believe you haven’t. I’m sorry you feel the need for a sight like this. I’ve read so much on this site about Catholics being bad trees, seeds, apples- what have you. You do realize that whatever denomination you are, that you fall from a tree- the Catholic one. Why are you cutting down the tree from which you came? It’s so very sad about you. I hope people continue to pray for you.

You do great work and I admire your courage. How do you keep from getting depressed? The more I learn about Reformation theology and witness Christian radio, television, publications, etc. the more miserable I get. ______________________________________________
SUBJECT: ICONBUSTERS Again, thank-you so much for your ministry! I know it must be a terribly hard task and the opposition must be incredible- but the Lord said the whole world will hate you for this truth! Just never stop doing what you're doing. Who knows how many people are being set free by your exposure of the lies!!! ______________________________________________
SUBJECT: ICONBUSTERS
I have just read all the comments on the website and i can see how much of an attack you are under. People cannot discern between the truth presented in defense of the gospel because truth means standing firm! yet they confuse the lie presented as 'wrapped up in love', of which many cannot discern spiritual things. As Jude says, that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
God has called you to His work, and you serve Him well. ________________________________________
SUBJECT: Ex-Catholics’ Testimony
We are both ex-roman catholics. We came out of that cult about 8 years ago. We have learned a lot about the lies and deception in that "church" since then, and are very grateful to our Savior, Jesus Christ, that He has set us free. Many family members and friends are still believing the lies of Rome, it is very hard to witness to them, it doesn't help that other family members that have also left don't realize what the catholic church is really all about and don't even try to explain the errors that these blind fools are following. The lines have been blurred, so many people believe that catholics are Christians, and that we don't need to witness to them, but we know they are truly lost and it breaks our hearts, we are in such a small minority, but we know that God is bigger than all of this and He is ultimately in control. We live in Erie, Pennsylvania and our children attended catholic school (there are very few Christian Schools in our area.) My oldest son informed me that he had learned that in the U.S., Erie has the highest per capita population of catholics. This is a very catholic town. We have a few evangelical Protestant Churches, but there are so much catholic churches it's not even funny. They always cry for money, close down the schools in the poorest neighborhoods, but always seem to have the money for statues and gold floors for their cathedrals. It is ridicules. I have come to the conclusion that what the catholics believe as "Marian Apparitions" is really "Satan in drag", if you can excuse the rough language. Maybe you can use that in a future "Icon Busters" episode. You are a much needed light in this dark, dark world. Please keep up the good work... May God richly bless you and may your ministry continue to lead the prisoners out of the darkness of roman catholisism. __________________________________

SUBJECT: Richard Bennett’s Audio Lecture
The audio from Mr. Bennet was earth shattering! It fully and further confirmed everything you have been proclaiming. I used to think we were to look for the Antichrist in the future. I have had my eyes opened and I thank the merciful God for allowing me to see. He has been leading me to these truths for quite some time and has used your web site to bring me into a clearer understanding. My partner in business is a devout Catholic and we have had several discussions about the false teachings of the RCC. I feel that God is teaching and equipping me to be a light bearer in this dark and troubled time. I also believe in that God does as He wills and I am chosen by His will to know these things. Thank you for being faithful to the direction of the Holy Spirit, Rand. God is using you mightily!! ____________________________________

Get thee behind me satan!
I fully recognized why your site did not contain the gospel message from the beginning. I wrote you a message for your benefit, not my own. I will put up your letter as a warning to others to stay away from your type of site, and as an example of how satan misteaches revelation as a way to pervert the word of God.
Friend, you have links to sites that post on conspiracy theories and link to those openly involved in the witchcraft and the new age movement. In some respects, such a person is better than a person who perverts God's word. Repent, and perhaps God will send you someone else who will help you, for it is clear you have not been saved to me.

SUBJECT: She’s enthusiastic about ICONBUSTERS
HI, I JUST HAD TO SAY GREAT SITE. I have been debating arminian's and dispensational family members, and X Pastors now for 3 years. I have said everything you have said to try to prove that there is no free will in salvation, and It goes on deaf ears. When God said that we are spiritually dead before He makes us alive, He means DEAD. I really like your site, and plan to visit it often. Keep up the Good work. Saved by Grace alone. Signed, Suzanne ___________________________________
SUBJECT: She’s still enthusiastic……
It is great to be able to carry on a conversation with a true believer, I do not have much of that….. You are the breath of fresh air. I am glad to have meet you. …… It is nice to have someone to talk with that is in agreement. You too keep in touch. If you need any help with research on any Biblical subject. That is what I do all day long. I would be glad to help. We are retired now so we have much time. Signed, Suzanne ______________________________________
SUBJECT: She’s lost her enthusiasm…… Im sorry, but you have lost all credibility……You have told me that I must study all of these books that you have read, and that the reformers thought that the antichrist is the Pope, Well do we believe God or men. The reformers were certainly not right about many things. Look at the Westminster confession. There are quite a lot of mistakes there. You say that you teach only what the greatest prophets teachers, pastors saints and marytrs have taught. The pope being the great Antichrist., I say to that, that I only believe what the Greatest teacher of all time taught. And that being Jesus himself, and he did not teach that the Pope was the antichrist. Mystery Babylon the Great is the world. Babylon is spiritually the whole world. It is also spiritually the Visible Church, which is apostate, and has become the world. I love your boasting about being expert on the subject. That is really a Hugh boast especially when you also say that you use other mens writings to come to your conclusion……You need to throw away your books, and go to the Bible alone, and in its entirety to reach ANY conclusion that you may want to reach. Rom 3;4 Let god be true, but every man a liar…… You say none of the reformers taught that satan was the antichrist, and they were either knowingly lying, deceived through pride or ignorance, or telling the truth. What about a 4th possibility Daniel 12;4 Many things have been sealed till the times of the end. These were just men. They did not have the ability to come to complete truth…… You act like Im not a serious student of the bible. Well I am, but I don’t look to man written history books. I only look to the Word of God. It will tell me all I need to know. You also say that we lack the enormous spiritual gifts of the reformers. Where do you come up with that information. God is not a partial God. We are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly place .in Christ. . But this only pertains to the believers. You say that you are a true believer, then you should have this same blessing. Matthew 24, is giving us a description of the church today. We are in this time of the end, where the abomination of desolation is standing in the Holy place. I have , in the last 12 years , left 4 church’s. The last one was a reformed presbyterian. The abomination of desolation , (the unsaved pastor) was standing in all four of them. So I had to flee, because of the untrue doctrines that were being taught. All of these false prophets, are under the power of anti christ. Satan. Satan comes as an angel of light, and his ministers as ministers of righteousness. Also He has taken his seat in the temple showing himself to be God. I’ve seen it first hand. Only the truly saved have the eyes to see this. You really need to do more homework. You are never going to come to truth, until you can say God is truth, and man is a liar. And use your Bible alone and in its entirety. Look at the whole definition of anti, and against, in the concordance. It is clear. Signed, Suzanne _________________________________________ SUBJECT: ICONBUSTERS As a
Catholic, what you have written about the church is saddening.
Can you say these things with a clear consience? I hope that God will move your heart, to at least respect us as fellow Christians if you decide to disagree with the teachings passed on for 2000 yrs. If your heart continues to be hardened, something is wrong...seek help to become more loving, please. Signed, Petey ____________________________________ SUBJECT: Thank you I just

Rand, Respecting David Cloud and Dave Hunt, as far as their soteriological views are concerned, I believe both men are blinded by tradition. Dr James White has said as much about Dave Hunt online with regard to their dialogue about Dave Hunt's book "What Love Is This?". I am looking forward to the book soon to be published, with Dr James White and Dave Hunt as co-authors, dealing with 'Calvinism' and soteriological matters.
I came across David Cloud when I was studying KJV Onlyism. Then I found Dr James White! I am very impressed with Dr James White, and his theology. In comparison, certainly Dave Hunt is not in the same 'league', so to speak. In fact Dave is quite out of his depth when he engages 'Calvinism'. I have asked David Cloud also to debate Dr White on KJV Onlyism, or on 'Calvinism', but he declines!
Tradition, is what seems to bind ( or blind?), David Cloud and Dave Hunt when it comes to engaging meaningfully with Reformed theology. At least that is my opinion. In a lot of other things they are sound, and know a lot more than me!
I live in Brisbane, Australia - a long way from the US, but I do appreciate being able to get access to good theological material online. I have had online access for a year or so now, and continually find new websites with great Reformed material. I have been what you might call a persuaded Reformed person for many years now. The first good book I think I received was Berkhof's 'Systematic Theology', and I have slowly grown from there, and I do believe that one needs to continually be reformed by Scripture! I find some theologians in the US of great help, ( and some weird ones too!). The internet is truly a great asset if properly used.
There are not too many Reformed people where I live. Most simply do not understand what 'Calvinism' is all about, but simply use the term to denigrate others. Ignorance seems to about in this regard. At the same time, no one ever calls anyone an Arminian?! I guess these days there are lots of people who want to be known as a 2, 3, or 4 point Calvinist, but never, never, a 5 point Calvinist! And this is due to tradition I suspect. Two of my three Pastors would definitely reject Calvinism, and strongly too! The other is much more quiet, but holds to at least some Reformed views, maybe even the doctrines of grace yet is careful not to reveal this. I did a 3 week Adult Bible Class a short while ago, and my subject was the 5 Solas of the Reformation, covering Justification and Sanctification, etc. I put out a couple of small booklets with notes for the class, and I know that my Pastors each took one. I have had no comment from them. Who knows?!
I have written a lengthy email to an ex Pastor of our church, in response to a book he published recently, in which he denied the substitutionary death of Christ. Again, I have not received any reply! Calvinism has had a 'bad press' for a very long time here, and I think in the US also. Do you think we will ever see the day when this situation will be changed?
Thanks for all of your hard work on your website. It must have taken a lot of time and effort! ____________________________________

SUBJECT: Lechery in the Church of Rome Exposed
Rand is just one more of legions of Fundamentalists and Calvinists whose passion is seeing how much dirt they can dig up on the Church. After a while, it gets pretty much routine, after all, how much embellishment can lies stand? He has the usual assortment of lying excrement on his site, of which we not only give you samples. At the end we will provide you with a URL (oh, be still my beating heart!) where it will be discovered that his sources are all a pack of bald faced liars with an agenda.
Rather than engage in a substantive discussion of doctrine, he reaches into the toilet and begins flinging dung. What is it with these Protestants and their fascination for filth? Am I denying that there exist problems in the Church? Of course not. Any moron with the ability to read would know that the Church is made up of terribly human sinners, some of whom struggle with temptations all the days of their lives. But Rand and all his anti-Catholic buddies make the Church look like Madam Woo’s Pussycat Pleasure Palace from top to bottom and side to side. Reading their screed, one would think that the whole edifice has no holy people in it, just wave after wave of lechers, pedophiles, and sexually immoral people. Rand’s web site says that it is a ministry to awaken the "sleeping elect". Rand, we are awakening. We are finding out that the Protestant Rebellion was based on faulty hermeneutics, lies, distortions of Scriptures, and fomented by people who, like Maria Monk had serious and grave mental problems, not the least of which was its founder, Martin Luther. As we read the Early Church Fathers, as we shake off the lies like the ones you fill your pages with, we are awakening to the fact that the Church which Christ established is the Church Catholic, holy, one, apostolic and Eucharistic in nature and teaching. All the evidence from the writings of the Fathers identifies for us that this Church, despite its problems, its very human leaders and priests, and its sometimes need for reform, is the Bride of Christ. Among His promises was that He would never leave it nor allow the gates of hell to prevail over it. You, on the other hand, are part of a tidal wave of fighting, schismatic, and heretical assemblies, which have the nerve to call themselves churches without having a licitly ordained priesthood to administer the Sacraments. The results of your Protestant Rebellion are sickeningly evident as one by one these "churches" ordain, marry and support sodomites, steal money from the faithful under the guise of "prosperity gospels", and teach doctrines which question the divinity of Christ, the Trinity, and even the need for salvation itself. So, Rand, look around you, my blinded and delusional friend. Your rebellion has spawned all this. It is a direct result of leaving the one institution, which Christ promised to protect. It is the Catholic Church which is standing for morality and decency, which is protecting unborn life, and refusing to ordain those who are immoral. My advice, sir; GET A LIFE!!!

SUBJECT: Jesuitical influences in ‘Protestant’ churches Dear
Mr. Winburn, Breda, The Netherlands SUBJECT: Too many cowards Hello from Texas, You have created a great site. I found it by looking through "Phil Johnson's Bookmarks". When it comes to dealing with Rome there are too many ecumenical coward church leaders out there that don't speak the truth. I like the way you present the lies of the papacy. I think you are dead on. It is refreshing to read your no holds barred comments about the beliefs of Catholicism and the complicity of men like Billy Graham, Colson, etc. It is interesting to note that back 100 years ago and more, the great defenders of our faith wrote scathing books and had ferocious arguments concerning the errors of Romanism. They didn't worry about feelings or political correctness. I don't see why that style must change today. I think the pope, cardinals, bishops and priest should be fair game when defending our faith and exposing the lie of Romanism.
If I may ask, are you affiliated with any church there in Calif.? ______________________________________

I especially enjoyed those cartoons you got on the pedophilia in the Catholic clergy. Out of curiosity, where did you manage to get these excellent cartoons from?

SUBJECT: Why?
Why do you lie about the Catholic teachings on your site?
You claim that we practice idolatry... this is a lie.
You claim Roman Catholic teachings are false... that is a lie... every attack on the Catholic Church that I have ever seen has been a lie, or a major distortion of the truth.
People such as ian paisley, jack chick, loraine boettner, rick jones, etc..., all lie about Catholic teachings.
www.ianpaisley.net clearly shows this.
Nothing the Catholic Church does contradicts scripture. Anyone who says that the Catholic Church contradicts scripture does not know what the Catholic Church teaches.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen said it very nicely: "There are not a hundred people in America that hate the Catholic Church, but the are millions who hate what they think is the Catholic Church."
All of your films are full of errors. So many it's almost comical. Please, get the facts.

SUBJECT: iconbusters is correct
Rand, I found your site the other day while doing some research on the antichrist and I believe you are correct. The way I have been conducting my research is to, of course, use the Bible, but I also used another source to define terms I didn't understand (not being a Catholic myself). I referred to the Catholic Encyclopedia to see their own words of definition. It is frightening that they condem themselves with their own postulates and premises! This source is extremely easy to navigate and provides, IN THEIR OWN WORDS, testimony of the truth that you tell.
I
began my research about 4 days ago. I was disturbed about events
in the Middle East and curious about end time prophecy.
Well, little did I know then what a time consuming project this would
turn in to. I have been spending about 12-14 hours a day in the
Bible and linking to various sites on this and other spiritual subjects.
At first my notes were spotty and in no particular order, although I've
since begun to provide myself with better documentation since the material
is really piling up! This is extremely facinating! ____________________________________

Although we are scattered upon the earth, we are still His and still members of His body, Praise the Lord!! I just wanted to encourage you and everyone that works with you. Thank you for your time and obedience!!!!!.......
I visited your site again last night with my husband, he enjoyed it as much as I did. It is so amazing how all these years I tried to figure out the antichrist, the beast, the whore, the harlots on every street corner and then one day when I least expected it…….bingo! God revealed His truth and set me free!! Of course there were many tears, struggles, confusion, escape plans considered, etc…. prior to this, but praise God, He never left it up to me!!! He dragged me to the truth, with the most just love that one could ever know. I agree Brother Rand, He has set my hand to the plow and there is NO going back to the fables, lies, and heresies!! I desire only to live for Him and to proclaim the true Christ and the true Gospel!! Sometimes I struggle with this because I am a woman and God has not given me authority to teach man. In fact that is how He took me out of the brick and mortar church. I was asked to teach and did not feel right about it and we left, that was just the beginning of all the wonderful truths that He had in store for us. Well, I'm not normally this talkie, thanks for listening and you are in our prayers. You and James are very precious to us and we thank the Good Lord for you!!!

SUBJECT: Alberto Rivera: Spanish Svengali, Teller of Tales Rand, Thank you again for exposing Mr Rivera! We do not want to put up spurious arguments against these Jesuits! They are extremely clever, and well-taught….The Jesuit Superiors are cunning wolves. No question about it. And morally very corrupt. But to discover more on that, we do not need Ribera. We need only refer to the writings of the Romanists themselves, like Malachi Martin, who documents himself the high incidence of sodomy in that wicked society…… There
are facts out there, Rand, that the people of Italy are very familiar with. And
the people of Ireland, more and more. This child

facts, I do believe that the good Lord has His elect amongst Roman Catholics.
Well, you know that. I am one. Some of our best friends
are former Roman Catholics. SUBJECT: Freewillism and Lechery Just a note to express that your site is getting better and better. I have read the negative e-mails that you have received and I am truly amazed how people can be so blind to the facts of the Catholic church and/or the errors of all Freewillism. This only strengthens my belief that if God does not remove the scales from our eyes and give us the faith to believe, we would still be in darkness. Also, if the style of your presentations are a little rough to these people, can you imagine what they would have thought of Luther, Calvin and the rest of the reformers. Now those guys had an aggressive approach. haha!!
I read your section on the priests and the confessional. That was almost unimaginable. I read Chiniquy's book over forty years ago when I was a teenager and was appalled then, but I have never read any of the other references that you have that are even more revealing of the treachery of the Great Whore. Thanks for putting this together, you guys are doing a great job.
My wife and I have been going to a church here, but at present have decided to look elsewhere. We are trying to find a Reformed church, even if we have to drive a few extra miles. We really don't have any acquaintances ( other than family in Tulsa and my daughter here ) that share our theology. I know they're out there, we just haven't found them yet. _______________________________________

I have read A Morrisons article on the anti christ, I was really blessed by it. He is not a false teacher by any stretch of the imagination.

Mr. Rand Winburn...at the least, you are an imbecile! The following, complete, not out of context, sentence from the first paragraph of YOUR diatribe is proof of my opinion:
"I would remind the reader that to accuse the brethren is to accuse Christ." To compare Jesus Christ, our Saviour, Who was sinless, to mortals IS blasphemy!
I see no reason to waste my time to read the remainder of your bilge... Evgeniy Vassilievich Ignatov ______________________________________
SUBJECT: An Answer to Alan Morrison
Attention Rand Winburn:
I have read the article by Allan M. on the Antichrist and found him to be very discerning for John in 1John 2:22 gives us the spirit of antichrist.
Therefore, I must warn you that God will not look kindly on the selfrighteous reply you wrote about Allan and his article. I am well aware that there are deceivers in the world but many of the things you accuse Allan of your reply contains.
Please don't attack fellow Christians just because you think you are an "iconbuster." For the discerning reader, Allan does not lead anyone astray. So please do not lead those new in the faith astray yourself.

SUBJECT: Alan Morrison Responds
Dear
Friends:
"The almost obsessional vehemence with which this view is held by many of its adherents — and the ungracious, ear-stopping, sectarian spirit shown towards those who do not share it — has inspired us to consider it here through the evidence of Scripture rather than the blind prejudice of men".
You may have thought that I was somewhat exaggerating when I said that. You might even have thought that I was being unkind. Well you can now discover the reality for yourselves. Within a short time of my article going out, a classic response appeared on the website of "Protestant Reformation Publications". The link is http://www.iconbusters.com/iconbusters/current/alan.htm and the article is entitled "An Answer to Alan Morrison, Pseudo-Prophet of Diakrisis Ministry" by a gentleman called Rand Winburn. I will make no further comment on this article except to ask you to check carefully the content as to whether or not it does answer my article adequately, to see if there is any hint of Christian debate, to examine if it reflects the biblical data and if it has anything to say of any value to the saints, or if it does in fact reflect what I said in my paragraph above. What a funny old world we live in! What an even stranger Christian scene we inhabit! Tal was right when he said that one needs the hide of a Rhinoceros and the alertness of a world class spy in order to keep one's head above water at this point in history. One needs more than the patience of Job to get by today.
Goodnight and God bless... ________________________________________

I thank our heavenly Father first and foremost, but brother…………………I am so thankful for your obedience. I know that we cannot do anything good, for when we try evil is there with us, we are still carnal and thank God for His mercy!! I just wanted to say thank you and we are not alone, God's eyes are upon the elect. We may suffer in the days ahead, but we do not suffer alone, thank you for encouraging us and we pray for you!!! Let's pray for the brethren!!
Thank you for your love and sticking out your necks, LITERALLY, for the cause of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!!!!! May our Lord thy God keep you and watch over you and your loved ones!! I do have a question…………………………..if the pope is the antichrist, who is the false prophet????

Dear sir,
There seems to be quite a fear for our faith within your work, my friend. A child is capable of spot-passaging, and anyone of bigotry. Without trying to sound presumptuous, I must inform you that you have absolutely no idea of that which you pretend to know about the Catholic faith and your work embarasses only yourself, and certainly not the one billion souls who profess their faith everyday.
I would be most welcome of an amicable dialogue,
In pace Christi T. Kauffman, S.J. ____________________________________
SUBJECT: William Tyndale
Dear Brother Rand,
I just wanted to thank you for sharing William Tyndale's article. My heart is full and tears fill my eyes. This little sheep loves to hear and read the truth. For so many years, I wondered, why I was not anxious for the return of our Lord and Savior. The answer is so very clear to me now. It was because He not visited me yet. He had not yet blest me with the new birth, faith and repentance. Now I long for His return with everything that He has given to me. We continue to pray for the brethren. Are there any needs that your ministry has that we might help with? Thank you for your time, I know that you spend much time working for the kingdom of God. _____________________________________
SUBJECT: Mocking Jesus’ Mom
Hello!
I found your site through an internet search, and curiously enough,
I stopped by to give a look. I'm amazed at your hate tactics here.
Your mockery and fiction is so against what our Dear Lord Jesus teaches.
Also, in response to your query to The Blessed Virgin Mary, as to where
was she, she was a young girl when Gabriel appeared to her, and the
Holy Spirit visited her. Please remember, she is Jesus's mother.
How would you feel if someone mocked your Mom? Jesus and His mother
lived their lives in accordance with the Ten Commandments. Surely
He did not stop honoring His mother when he ascended into heaven.
He is God. He delivered the Commandments to Moses. He cannot
contradict Himself. Mary declared that all generations would call
her blessed. While a few Catholic priests fell into sin, I read
in my local newspapers every day that boyfriends, husbands, teachers,
coaches and yes Protestant Ministers are also sinning against vulnerable
children. Perhaps we should look to Mary in her humble innocence,
and humility, as she said Yes to God at the Annunciation, take her example
and give our conscent to God's Will, instead of blaming her and bashing
her for evil acts done by those with free will. Don't pull
Jesus's Mom through your muck......He could very well be offended by
your insulting her, and tell you so when you meet Him someday. ______________________________________

SUBJECT: Word of Faith and Calvinism
I came upon iconbusters in my research on the Catholic Church. My life has been spent in many ways in the pursuit of truth. I found that the truth is the Word of God as revealed in the old and new testaments. While I share many of your views and was entertained and educated by many of your clever presentations, it was your open letter to the Osteen Church that led the Spirit of God to "nudge" me. The greed and focus on signs and wonders in these "Word of Faith" churches has bothered me for several years. My spirit is grieved when I see Robert Tilton, anything on the horrible TBS, Copeland and the like spew that prosperity deception over the airwaves. Your critic had merit but ironically you should aim the truth of the word at your own doctrine. Unfortunately, your own deception becomes apparant as you vent your own brand of doctrine with an arrogant edge. Calvinism is heretical to the core, according to correct understanding of scripture, the WHOLE council of God. "TULIP" is a poisonous flower that contains error in abundance. You see things through the filter of your self deception. Please, prayerfully and humbly study the site on the link below. The answers are there for you if you are a true seeker of truth.

More Flash Fun from the Anti-Catholic bigots at Iconbusters! This time their short film is called Mystic Pizza about people who see Mary in a pizza and start worshipping it. Not only do they ridicule Catholics in it, they also mock the Italians and their piety. posted by Fr. Bryce Sibley ________________
The prose portion detailing the historical canons of the ecumenical councils shows that the Church was aware of grevious abuses going back 1600 years, and did in fact address them, repeatedly. _______________

Iconbusters: Praise the Lord God of all creation for your stand against the great whore!!!!!!!! Please tell all of the lost, hellbound catholics who wrest the Scriptures (King James AV1611) to their own destruction - they don't have a Bible to begin with - that I was saved out of the whore 14 years ago. I was raised and indoctrinated in the belly of the whore since birth, went to catholic schools, church every day, received the "death cookie" during the hellish transubstantiation voodoo ritual whereby they crucified my Savior afresh every time the black mass was offered, had many, many lost relatives give huge sums of money to perverted pedophilic priests to say a mass to transport their loved ones out of hell, i.e., the false doctrine of purgatory -Read the Bible - the King James AV1611 you blind guides!!! - I am averse to her, the rosary, the devil's mary (not Mary the mother of Jesus who was blessed among women - she doesn't want us to worship her or pray to her - she was a sinner saved by Grace as all of God's elect are), the sacraments, praying to devils, that's right, you pray directly to devils' when you pray to mary, st. anthony, st, christopher, st. joseph, st. ann, ad nauseam!!!!!!!! Vomitous, banal tripe!!! FOR THERE IS ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, THE MAN, CHRIST JESUS!!!!!!! dear st. anthony please come around, there's something lost that can't be found - that's what I was taught as a child - to pray to a devil to find something. Lord Jesus, give me eyes to see and ears to hear - when I misplace something - it's praying to the Father in Jesus' name - AMEN!!!!!!AMEN!!!!! WAKE UP YOU HELL-BOUND REPROBATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No catholic wants to hear the truth - but I pray for all of you - I love the catholic people - many of my family members are still in the clutches of the biggest cult on the face of this earth - but I hate YOU - HELLISH ROME - AND ALL YOU STAND FOR - FOR YOU ARE ANTICHRIST!! I will not even acknowledge you by giving you upper case lettering - may Christ ALONE be exalted!!!
Anyway, to say that I don't know whereof I speak would be a blatant falsehood!!!!! I know her inside out. I know that while there's breath in me I will oppose, abhor and speak the truth against the great whore of Revelation, who is drunk with the blood of the saints. Did you know, lost catholic friend, that when you are called of God and receive His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, that you become a living saint? Rome doesn't have the authority to dub a dead, rotting corpse a saint. There ain't no such animal!!!!!
I hope I have raised some ire - enough so as to make some of you study the truth - start by getting a King James AV1611 Bible - throw away that trash, the new jerusalem, because it ain't a bible - and READ!!! READ!!!! READ!!!! If the Book is contrary to your poop - I mean Pope - then you have a quandary on your hands - hmmm- keep living a lie and go to hell - or ask the Lord, Jesus Christ to have mercy on your filthy, hellbound soul, admit that you have nothing to offer Him and ask him to save you from the Lake of Fire!!!
JESUS CHRIST IS GOD COME IN THE FLESH!!!!!!
