The Passion of the Christ THIS IS ONE OF BIGGEST DECEPTION IN OUR GENERATION and that's real. Mel Gibson’s controversial film sent shockwaves globally. I’ve witnessed it and didn’t realize the gross licentiousness until a day later. God awaken me now. On its opening day, February 25, 2004 or Ash Wednesday, it took $25 million on the box office. Presently, the movie is poised to reach almost $400 million being one of the top 10 grossest selling pictures of all time. Mel Gibson wanted to depict the last twelve hours of Christ’s life on Earth (when the truth is that the last 12 hours of Jesus Christ biblical would be the time before his Ascension into Heaven). The Passion of the Christ is an international hoax deceiving not only unsaved individuals, but also even holy fundamentalist and evangelical Christians. Mel Gibson tried to send Evangelical Christians to view the film before it came out in order to brainwash Christians to accept it as biblical (when it isn‘t). “Christian” Shills for the New World Order praising this fraud include Tim LaHaye, Billy Graham, Robert Schuller [33rd Degree occult
Freemason], psychologist Dr. James Dobson [Head of Focus on the Family ministries], Don Hodel, Ted Haggard, President of the Southern Baptist Convention Jack Graham, Mission America Coalition, Rick Warren, CBN, Paul Crouch of TBN, Promise Keepers, Dr. James Kennedy, and many others.
I hate to burst all of these Protestants’ bubbles, but this flick is a Roman Catholic film. Mel built Holy Family (his own Catholic chapel) near his California home. During filming, he attended a Catholic mass every morning in a misguided desire “to be squeaky clean.” Mel Gibson is a Traditionalist Roman Catholic. That religion refuses to embrace Vatican II, executes the mass in Latin, and abstains from meat on Fridays. It holds the view that all non-Catholic Christians are going to Hell. Gibson replied to a Protestant interviewer if someone can be saved apart of the Catholic Church that “There is no salvation for those outside the Church.” (Peter Boyer, “The Jesus War”, The New Yorker, September 15, 2003).
Gibson is even shocked at the positive praise by evangelicals of his movie as well. William Fulco, a Jesuit priest, translated the script into Aramaic and Latin. Traditionalists also subscribe to the Council of Trent [a council held from 1545-1563]. Loaded with bigoted, Papal decrees, it launched 125 anathemas (curses) against those who believe in the Protestant Reformation and biblical precepts (i.e. infallibility of God’s word, baptism as a sign, communion not being the literal blood and body of Jesus Christ, justification by faith, etc.) Gibson has an Episcopal wife. He feels that millions of professing Christians worldwide are destined for Hell since we won’t yield to Roman Catholicism. That’s ludicrous. The film is not based from the Bible, but primarily from the visions of Roman Catholic nun-mystics St. Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824) and Mary of Agreda (16021665). Emmerich, from Germany, claimed stigmata [the wounds of Christ in her body]. During the last years of her life, she supposedly ate the Catholic mass wafer then received “visions” of the life of Christ. These phony revelations a re-incorporated under the title of “The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”, published in 1824. Gibson consulted that work. She goes beyond the Bible whose visions have Protestants in purgatory to suffer worse than Catholics, it’s more important to pray for souls in purgatory (a place that doesn’t exist) than sinners who are still alive, and false view of the suffering of Christ [i.e. Christ withering as a worm, Christ cried in a suppressed voice plus Jesus sued for mercy with lies about his crucifixion] which aren’t in the Scriptures at all. Mary of Agreda’s The Mystical City of God is about Mary. In her Satanic trances, she claimed that Joseph ate meat, while Jesus and Mary seldom did which are lies.
Mel Gibson’s Porn Stars
Many actors and actresses are moral degenerates and pornographers. According to Dennis Palmu: “By my count, out of a total of 66 adult actors and actresses in The Passion of the Christ, 33 have appeared in movies with graphic sex, pornography, violence, horror or a combination of some or all of these four elements. What is the statistical probability that this ‘just happened’ by chance?” (From Mel Gibson’s Hall of Porn by Joseph Herrin at watch.pair.com/cast.html. I don‘t agree with Barbara Aho on every issue though. He supports the myth in the existence a Priory de Sion. She also supports forged hoax of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion) *Monica Belluci (handpicked by Mel), who plays Mary Magdalene, posed for the 2001 GQ Italia Totally Nude calendar. She appeared nude or nearly nude in many
films like Melena, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Irreversible (which was a 2002 production. It was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. It was so shocking that 250 people walked out. Some needed medical attention), a Dracula movie, and Under Suspicion. At the Cannes Film Festival, 250 people walked out the film including some needing medical attention. Steve Rhodes (a reviewer) described it as “hard-core pornography.” (This was X-Rated) *Rosita Celentano (who plays Satan and is bisexual) and Claudia Gerini (who plays Pilate’s wife) have pornographic photos all across the Internet. *Maia Mongenstern (acting Mary), starred in the 1997 vile movie entitled Withman Fiuk. *John Debney, who wrote the rock & roll music score to the Passion also wrote the rock score for the blasphemous movie Bruce Almighty. *Jim Caviezel acts as Jesus. His attempt to portray Christ himself is idolatrous since the law of God forbids man to make any likeness of God. (Deut. 4:15-16, Exodus 20:4-5, and Romans 1:23). A staunch Roman Catholic, Caviezel exclaimed as to hearing Mary in Medjugorie, which is false. No wonder Caviezel was struck by lightning twice and cursed out actors (portraying Roman soldiers who put a 14-inch gash in his back. Jim even admitted that he felt like Satan). This incident is from David German’s “Playing Jesus an Act of Faith, Associated Press, February 20, 2004) Jim Caviezel during filming suffered hypothermia as hung on the cross, a lung infected, and dislocated his shoulder while on the cross proving that God isn’t approving of this film. God gave his signs of disapproval toward Caviezel indeed. *Mel Gibson is the Director having R-rated movies such as Mad Max, Braveheart, Payback (one reviewer classified this movie as having at least 44 instances of cursing and the use of the Lord’s name in vain) and the Lethal Weapons series (acting as a rogue policeman who excels in violence). Most of his motion pictures are jammed with profanity, sexual immorality, extreme violence, course jesting, vigilantism, etc. In his 2000 film What Women Want, Gibson portrayed Nick whose goal in life is to sleep with all the women his lustful heart desired. Eph. 5:2-11 is against this sort of thing. Christians can never be perfect, but they must have a basic, righteous, and moral foundation in his or her life (2 Cor. 5:17, Mt. 7:20-23, 1 John 2:3-4) Wickedness can be rejected easily by anyone truly born again and Mel isn’t. Mel Gibson has a chance to be saved just like any human alive today. There is no way a real born again Christian would star worldly, unrepentant porn stars in a religious film at all.
Heretical Statements and Errors in Mel Gibson’s movie comprise of:
+Anne Catherine Emmerich’s The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alluded that a female devil tempted Christ at the Garden of Gethsemane. According to her, Christ prays to the Father quoted as “Father defend me; save me from my attackers; shelter me from Satan.” That’s in the movie, yet it’s found nowhere in the Bible. Satan in the garden of Gethsemane did not tempt Christ. Jesus needs no shelter from Satan and Jesus warded him off. Also, Satan is male, not female. +Jesus Christ is depicted with long hair, but this is contrary of his standards for men in 1 Corinthians 11. Nazarites only wore long hair as men of God in the Bible (i.e. Samson) The Lord Jesus Christ had short hair since he was a Nazarene (Jesus grew up in the town of Nazareth and wasn’t a Nazarite) The Passion of the Christ present most of the men and soldiers of Pilate having short hair (which is historically accurate), but Jesus has long hair. +The-whipping scene was just unbiblical. In the film, Jesus is beaten at 2 separate times with 39 lashes each. [First on the back, then on the front, and finally the soldiers beat him as they walk to the cross. The excessive, horrendous violence isn’t essential in the picture] The Holy Bible said that he was only scourged one time from Matthew 27:26-35. The picture over
emphasizes Christ’s physical suffering that don’t save our sins. The Bible, on the other hand focuses on his spiritual suffering plus his blood, which saves us. It was precisely his blood and death that equate the atonement (Romans 5:9-10). Rome preaches salvation via never-ending sufferings repeated in the mass and added with the 7 Catholic sacraments, which are false. +In the resurrection scene, Jesus stands to walk out after the angel rolled away the stone. In Mt. 28:1-6, the disciples saw the stone rolled away to know that Christ has risen and left the tomb before that. The picture also has Christ naked with Jim Caviezel’s naked buttocks, which is grotesque and unholy. +The movie itself is a mass. The film has Christ praying, “Father if it be possible let this chalice pass from me.” The chalice is the cup used for the Catholic mass. Chalice is not in the Bible at all and Christ wasn’t even referring to communion anyway. Christ has only an one and only sacrifice from the cross. It’s never repeated, but remembered in the Lord’s Supper. (Hebrews 9:12) To try to re-enact this is wrong (Hebrews 6:6). +Visualization is not demanded to discover who Christ is. The images of Jesus in the film are nothing like Christ and are a lie. Mankind is moved by the Word of God through the Spirit of God to become Gods children. Faith does not come by the visual myth of the Passion, emotion, or sight. Faith comes not by sight, but by the hearing of the word of God. (2 Cor. 5:7, Romans 8:24) + The film bears a highly anti-Scriptural projection of Mary. In the Passion, Mary is near Jesus through all of His suffering, but the Bible declares nothing of this. Mary communicates with Pilate to appeal to her to protect Christ from the angry crowd [Gibson got this from Anne-Catherine Emmerich], Pontius Pilate giving cloths to Mary, Mary with Mary Magdalene wiping Jesus’ blood after he’s whipped, and a woman whipping Jesus’ bloody face as he’s on the cross (from the Catholic legend of Veronica in the 8th century) which aren’t from God’s Word. Mary is given supernatural abilities in the film by Mary only seeing Satan, putting her head on the stores to know the presence of Christ underground punished, and asks Jesus, “Flesh of my flesh and heart of my heart, let me die with you.” The picture also acts like Mary suffered with Jesus Christ, but Jesus Christ by himself bore our sins (Hebrew 1:3). Mary suffered none of our sins and this movie is blasphemous. The picture has Mary kissing Jesus’ feet then licking his blood depicting the false teaching of transubstantiation. Mary indeed felt sorrow for Christ’s suffering, but what Mary felt has not a thing to do with his suffering. Peter and John called Mary “Mother” in capital letters on the captions of the movie. Nowhere in the NT did anyone call Mary mother, but Jesus told John to let John have Mary as a mother to assist her only. Jesus call Mary Woman not Mother. Mt. 12:47-50 presents all believers as his mother, brother, and sister equally. Mary is a sinful woman and is not perfect. Mary isn’t the Ever Virgin, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, or the Co-Mediatrix also. +The Passion depicted Mary Magdalene as the woman caught in adultery in John 7:53,8:11, whereas there’s no biblical evidence for that.
+Occult scenes of demons tormenting Judas even eating his flesh is non-existent from Scripture. That’s from Emmerich. Also, Icon Production’ (who funded the film) logo is an All Seeing Eye [look above to see the logo]. Caviezel in the film is also pictured with one eye. The All Seeing Eye is the pagan eye of Lucifer proving the movie is Satanic. Gibson claims that Jewish people back then mainly spoke Aramaic and the Romans spoke Latin. But this is not quite true, according to Christopher Orlet’s
article, Mel Gibson vs. The Jews: “Gibson has bragged about the historical veracity of his script, going so far as to film the movie in the Aramaic and Latin languages without subtitles. Scholars, however, have been quick to point out the film’s obvious historical inaccuracies, which, it turns out, are legion. Indeed, any theological or biblical scholar could have told Gibson that few Roman soldiers were in Jerusalem, and rather were local draftees who would have spoken one of the local dialects, Mishnaic Hebrew or, based on funerary evidence, Greek. Similarly Pilate and the chief priest Caiaphas would have communicated in Greek, not Latin.” There is Gnostic and Merovingian symbolism as well. Mel Gibson even gave a clue of Satan’s hand in this movie by mentioning that he used his left hand to nail Caviezel’s hand. In Italian, that’s the sinistra or sinister hand. Anyone with knowledge of the occult realizes that the left hand means the force or the sinister way of Satan. God said in Mt. 25:41 that those on his left hand are condemned to Hell. The Ordo Sinistra Vivendi (Order of the Left Hand Path) is such a Satanic association, which practices Black Magick to promote rebellion against Christ and His Church by deception. Some classify Gibson as a member of this order.
Who Killed Jesus Christ? The Masonic ADL, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Orthodox Rabbi Schmuley Boteach, and other individuals blast the Passion of the Christ as anti- Semitic. It’s completely understandable that many Jewish people have concerns about any anti-Semitic displays. The movie isn’t anti-Semitic per se since no one smells like a rose whether it’s the Jews, Romans, or the apostles. Mel Gibson denied being anti-Semitic during the Diane Sawyer ABC Primetime Interview. Yet, years ago, he was caught being drunk along with spewing vile anti-Semitic words to a police officer. This must of came from his anti-Semitic father. The truth is obvious. Jewish involvement in the death of Christ is noticeable. It was the nation of Israel and the Jewish people for the most part who rejected Jesus Christ as the Messiah (John 1:11). A Jewish council condemned Christ before a Roman tribunal condemned him with Pontius Pilate. It was the Jews alone who delivered Jesus to Pilate to demand crucifixion. This is established as historical fact. The guilt thought is not unto all Jews of all time, but limited to all unbelieving Jews during that time, especially the unbelievers inside Israel. The unbelieving Jewish high priest Caiaphas declared the 9 words out (in brackets) at Mt. 27:25 “Then answered all the people, and said, {His blood be on us, and on our children.}” After Jesus Christ’s resurrection, the apostles sought the Gentiles mainly, but many Jewish converts to Christianity rose up in the 1st century as well. There is some thing special I want to add. Anyone of those Jewish folks who were responsible for Christ’s death is immediately absolved from guilt if they repent. (Luke 23:24, Acts 2:22-39; 3:13-26; 4:4-15). Blood guilt is limited to 3-4 generations and not all generations from Exodus 34:7 so anyone preaching that all Jews are responsible for the Lord’s death and remains so forever is ignorant or a liar. Christ forgave his murderers conditioned on their repentance.
The Bible is not anti-Semitic since it does depict Jewish people fairly in both a positive and negative light. Jews except Luke wrote every word of the living God. It’s preposterous to claim that the New Testament is anti-Jewish since the majority of its authors are Jewish themselves. Jesus Christ who is God is Jewish. God chose the Jews through the loins of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but was punished continually by Almighty God for their unbelief in the Messiah. The good news is that many Jews have indeed accepted Christ as God and the Messiah. Hutton Gibson, Mel Gibson’s father, is a real anti-Semite. Hutton thinks that only 600,000 Jews died in the Holocaust plus a lot of bizarre fairy tales. He’s only right in hating the N.W.O. and calling John Paul II a fraud and a Koran kisser, which he is. Real Christians love the Jewish people and all people. We’re all guilty for killing Jesus in fact. Both Jew and Gentile killed Jesus Christ. It is true to say that some Jews crucified Christ. It’s also true to say that the Roman government crucified Christ. Man’s sins crucified Christ as well. We need not to back peddle an inch allowing the chips fall where they may.
Final Note Rebuking this movie is great (Ephesians 5:11) Ecumenicalism (compromise of core beliefs in form the one-world church) surely is the result of this fanfare. Many evangelicals and fundamentalists have forsaken their biblical principles in joining with Roman Catholics in approving this monstrosity of a movie. This is truly the end of the age. Many Catholics are using this for evangelism of their religion. The Passion can be used to lead people to recognize the difference between a true and false gospel. Some positive news is that ministries have condemned the Passion of the Christ like: -Richard Bennett and J. Virgil Dunbar -Pastor David J. Meyer of Last Trumpet Ministries -Timothy and Barbara Aho of Watch Unto Prayer Ministries -David and Mary Bay of Cutting Edge Ministries -James R. Wicker, associate professor of New Testament at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary -T. A. McMahon -plus the h undreds of Christians who written letters and expressed opposition to Mel’s Movie. “Scripture alone, grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone, and Glory to God alone” ought to be cherished not a godless Hollywood film with pornographers as actors and actresses, scenes from the visions of deluded Roman Catholic mystics, devilish esoteric symbols, its adding to the Gospel account, and a plight in society.
NOW PRINT THIS OUT AND SHOW IT TO PEOPLE ABOUT THIS DECEPTION OF A MOVIE TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE PLUS DECEIVED CHRISTIANS (TO HELP THEM WAKE UP) ADHEREING TO THIS POISON OF THE ANTICHRIST. GOOD LUCK......................... By TruthSeeker24 (Timothy) September 30, 2004 A.D.
Updated: February 1, 2009 _________________________________________________
P.S. This is one of the greatest debates about the Movie “The Passion of the Christ” in October 6, 2004 where Pale Horse (a Catholic who follows Vatican I teachings which includes the lie that people who aren’t Catholic and are Christians are going to Hell) supports it wholeheartedly and I refute him. I’ve chosen this debate with him since this is probably one of the slickest ways Ecumenicals and Papaists use to justify the unbiblical Passion of the Christ film.
Pale Horse wrote:
What reference of authority is that from? The Talmud? Response: Actually, the literal translation of it is: “Vaticanus then is a combination of Vatic + anus, just as Romanus is a combination of Rome + anus. Therefore, vaticanus collis or vaticanus mons mean "the prophetic hill or mountain", which can be rephrased as the hill or mountain of prophecy. The word Vatican is just a shortened form of the word Vaticanus, just like Claudian is a shortened form of Claudianus, as shown above.” (From www.aloha.net/~mikesch/vatican.htm ) This is my simple error. Even though I don’t agree with the 7th Adventists, they are telling the truth about the Papacy and this is not from the Talmud.
Pale Horse wrote:
Who said Jesus The Christ is a graven image? He isn't a golden calf. God didn't forbid anyone to make an image of His Son. Response: Christ isn’t a graven image, but the Bible perfectly says that we aren’t to create an image of God. The Son is God, so I won’t do it or venerate any image at all. The golden calf in the OT was worshipped as God and this was forbidden.
Pale Horse wrote:
So, where does God forbid anyone worship His Son? And since He is hated so much, Talmud anti-Christs would depict Him as always as the same as they are porn stars, unscriptural Hollywood scenes, sanitized scenes, excessive violence in Hollywood ungodly movies, and occultic and incoherent messages. We can name several. All your claims apply to Hollywood movies of above, certainly not the Passion of The Christ. Hollywood movies depict the violence done to Jesus as depicted in The Passion of The Christ. Response: I didn’t say we aren’t forbidden to worship the Son, but any image that depicts the Son in any manner is forbidden to worship since the Son is God not an image. I do realize that the Talmud is false since it was created by Apostate Jewish people around 500 A.D. adding to the Word of God. A religious
movie must have reasonable license to have people who repented to play important roles. Occult scenes, excessive violence, bad symbolism, and ungodly components can easily rebuke the movie as a deception. All of these facts are clearly found in Hollywood movies and in the Passion. Watch Unto Prayer Ministries at watch.pair.com/passion.html and watch.pair.com/cast.html have fully outlined this clearly. Just because a movie depicts violence doesn’t justify it for the Passion. The Bible says little on the violence Christ suffered which were about 2 incidents nothing more or less. His violence never saved us, but his blood.
Pale Horse wrote:
An addition to Scriptures by you. Will you be rebuked by Jesus for learning of the Pharisees? Response: What is my addition to the scriptures? Christ exposing the Pharisees [with pride, anger, and strife], who added tradition to the Law, is found clearly in the Bible. To say that a man can’t rebuke heresy is fantasy. There is no evidence whatsoever that the real church used an image of God to venerate. The Roman Catholics were heretics for doing that in the Middle Ages and the Iconoclasts rebuked them for it.
Pale Horse wrote:
"There is no salvation outside the Catholic Church." Mel stated the truth of the Catholic Church teachings direct from Jesus Christ who taught there is no salvation outside of HIM.
Response: Mel Gibson told a lie when he said anyone who isn’t part of the Catholic Church is going to Hell. The Word of God clearly states that any man or woman or child
who repents, follows his Word, and lives a godly life until death will go to Heaven regardless of denomination. WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH THROUGH GRACE NOT BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. The Catholics just believe in a lot of superstitious beliefs, so God is telling the Catholics to reject false doctrines and come out.
Pale Horse wrote:
There were 3 or 4 nails. The All Seeing Eye is God's. Freemasons stole the symbol and have corrupted it as you have seen. Catholicism vs Freemasonry will never be reconciled, only cosmetically as you see in the taken-over-by-Freemasons Vatican today since 1958. (Suggested reading about Bella Dodd's testimony to the Senate Committee). The brutalizing was done by Jesus haters. The brainwashing of millions of Christians to this day is done by Freemasons. There is a difference between ecumenical and antichrist Masonic "pontiff" John Paul's "ecumenism" whereas he adjoins pagans to heaven along with other antichrists. Welcome to your wake-up call. Response: Any scholar of the occult knows that when a man talks about nails in a religious context, he means Satan. The man from Switzerland in the Sun Cult Site have truly exposed that. Mel even gave a clue of his Satanic impulses by saying straight up that I used the Left Hand to put the nail in Cavaziel’s body. The left hand (as any occultist knows) means the Sinister hand or way or the way of Satan. Christ said those going on Hell are on my Left Hand. The Order of the Left Hand is a real Satanic group dedicated to try to destroy Christianity [which they won't obviously]. The All Seeing Eye is not of God single God doesn’t have one eye and throughout ancient history, pagan religions have always used one eye to denote the occult and Horus (Satan). Look at www.luckymojo.com/allseeingeye.html is a site there to prove its existence before Christianity came along in ancient Egypt. Freemasons use it today and that alone means the one eye is Satanic plus its the logo of the Council on Foreign Relations. HOW BLATANT CAN I GET. Yes, indeed Freemasonry is an evil group and the Catholics are right to oppose them in the 1700’s-1800’s. You must be a Vatican I Catholic and yes John Paul II is a Koran Kisser and a compromiser. As for this Vatican I and II stuff, this is rather striking proof that your church isn’t infallible at all. You added tons of unscriptural precepts for centuries and now you divided in 1958. The Passion just focuses too much on the brutality done by Jesus haters. We should not set our eyes on the disgusting brutality, but Christ’s blood which saves us from all sin. Freemasons have brainwashed people and I agree with you on that.
Pale Horse wrote:
Already you've shown your errors. Who will believe you now? The Catholic Church, not Talmudist John Paul II, has kept the Infallible Word of God. Response: The Passion being a international hoax isn’t a deception. I will believe in Christ and his Word. God kept his word and the Church is solely the custodians of his word. The Word of God has higher authority than the Church. Christ has higher authority than the Church. The Catholic Church embraces false precepts.
Pale Horse wrote:
You've not shown any deception. Response: The movie have shown plenty of deception. The movie says that Christ was tempted in Gethasame by Satan, but he wasn’t. The movie called the cup chalice during a scene when it didn’t occur in the bible. Many of the prominent actresses are intentionally known pornographers. The movie has Mary knowing about Christ’s suffering from underground the Temple when she never seen Christ in that scene which is wrong and Merovingian symbolism is poured into the film. Hundreds of Christians worldwide are exposing this trashy movie for what it is being a pure hoax and blasphemy against God Almighty.
Pale Horse wrote:
What is Truth? Response: Truth is God. The Truth is also found in his Word.
Pale Horse wrote:
So,you are against anyone's conversion to the Truth? If my posts are "redundant" and "deceptive", then why is it that you've added to the Scriptures?
Response: I’m not against anyone’s conversion to the Truth, but if a man follows false doctrines, you have no choice but to inspire people to leave it. I haven’t added anything to the Scriptures. Robertson, Hagee, and Falwell are proven ecumencials and should be told to leave the One World Church crowd immediately and end all ties to the Council on National Policy.
Pale Horse wrote:
We Catholics are also pro-John the Baptist, protest against un-Scriptural "bibles" which have missing canonical books, pro-Bible and Tradition of Apostles, and we're all red with the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. WE CONSUME HIS BODY AND BLOOD at worship in the Holy Mass as Jesus said "as often as ye shall do these things, do them in commemoration of Me." We do perpetually as Daniel stated the "continual sacrifice". This will never change. Response: I know you’re a Papist. As for the Bible, the Waldensians, Protestants, Baptists, independent religious groups, etc. have preserved the real Bible for 2,000 years. The Apocrypha is secondary to the Bible and has tons of errors and was rejected by even Jerome and tons of folks in the early church. Tradition is inferior to God’s word since tradition includes oral communication (plus Papal sayings, words of “saints”, and other dogma) equating totally incoherent information of a variety of subjects that don’t stack up to the simplicity of the Bible. Communion is always symbolic and Christ said to do it in remembrance of me meaning he wasn’t cutting himself to let his followers eat him, but use the bread and wine to symbolize his ONE AND ONLY SACRFICE. IT IS FINISHED. The circular disk to denote the “Eucharist” originated from ancient Mystery religions in Babylon and Egypt. Wycliff, Paul, Benegarius, and others are totally opposed to your viewpoint on Communion. THE BOOK OF HEBREWS PERFECTLY OUTLINE THE SOLE SACRIFICE OF CHRIST ON
THE CROSS. IT’S OVER.
