The Vatican's Selfish Saint-Making

I am in the process of finishing the work for my next video, which will examine comments made by both Glenn Beck and Barbara Walters regarding the easily-disproved Christian lie that the Jews killed Jesus—an atrocious lie that has been used to justify anti-Semitism since the third century.

In the meantime, I decided to present this quick video because of something that happened recently, on October 17.  The Vatican officially created 6 more saints.  I ask you, Is there one among us that is so perfect as to rightfully kick God off His Throne of Judgment and sit down instead, to judge this one to Heaven or that one to Hell? 

The Catholic Church has been in business for nearly 17 centuries.  During its first six centuries it is thought to have created over 7,500 saints, but no one really knows the exact number because canonization or saint-making did not become an official process until the year 993. Since then, more than 2,500 saints have been created, bringing the total to over 10,000 (www.americancatholic.org).

The history of the Catholic Church is filled with the worship of saints and angels, though the Bible teaches the opposite.  We are instructed not to worship angels and told that those who do are vainly puffed-up by their fleshly or carnal minds (Colossians 2:18).  It stands to reason that if we are not to worship angels, all of which are created by God, then we are certainly not to worship saints that are created by man.

At no time does God instruct us to deny Him in the most fundamental way by kicking Him off His Judgment Throne so that we can sit down instead and judge certain people to Heaven and other to Hell.  On the contrary, scripture reveals that the time of judgment will come at the very end, when God will do the judging (John 5:28-29).

Lastly, for those of you new to my site that might think that I hate Catholics or Protestants or Mormons or Jews or Muslims, that is untrue.  Let us not forget that the Institution is not the Individual.  Did you know that there is only one place in the Bible where we learn that Jesus hates?  He hates the (quote, unquote) “deeds of the Nicolaitanes,” meaning that He hates the selfish works of those with power and control over the religious masses or laity (Revelation 2:6).  Why does He hate them?  Because they deny teaching and exemplifying The Way, Truth and Life of Selfless Love for their greater love of selfish dogma in order to further secure their power and control over the people.  Do not be deceived by lovers of selfish religion, but follow the Spirit of Selfless Love alive within you.

Thank you.
