SHOULD YOU BE MERRY ABOUT CHRIST-MASS

John chapter 6




Today we are walking in: Should You Be Merry About Christ-Mass




Leviticus 19:4




Turn ye not unto idols, H457 nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.





IDOL










Today we look to the word-IDOL- H457 'eliyl --of nought, good for nothing, worthless; of false gods








The Torah testifies...............






Leviticus 26:1




Ye shall make you no idols H457 nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.









The prophets proclaim..................








Isaiah 31:7




For in that day every man shall cast away his idols H457 of silver, and his idols H457 of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.











The writings bear witness...........................






Psalm 96:5




For all the gods of the nations are idols: H457 but the LORD made the heavens.




Transubstantiation




In the Catholic Catechism: Pg. 347, #1376 it says:




“The council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring: ‘Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Master and of the whole substance of wine into the substance of his blood, This change the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation’.”







The Catholic Church still adheres to this doctrine since the Council of Trent. Here in this Catechism, it states:




Pg.336 # 1333: “At the heart of the Eucharist celebration are the bread and wine that, by the words of Christ and the invocation of the Holy Spirit, become Christ’s body and blood.”




Pg.347# 1377: “The Eucharistic presence of Christ begins at the moment of the consecration and endures as long as the Eucharist species subsist. Christ is present whole and entire in each of the species and whole and entire in each of their parts, in such a way that the breaking of the bread does not divide Christ.”




The Vatican claims that the Eucharist wafer magically changes from an inanimate object to the real Messiah! This is literally, Cannibalism!” But what did he really mean?







Messiah said in Yahuwchanon (John) 6:33-63: “For the bread of Elohiym is he that comes down from heaven, and gives life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Master, evermore give us this bread. And Yahusha said unto them, ‘I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst…Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoso eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day…It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life’.”




At first glance, it would appear that Yahusha is saying to literally “eat his flesh and blood,” physically. Yet as we read the rest of this passage, Yahusha tells us that he is speaking in a “spiritual metaphor.” He says that the “flesh” profits nothing.




Yahusha was speaking in terms of the spiritual, not the physical. He was explaining that all life comes through faith in Him, not eating His literal body. Eating his flesh is partaking of his word and his blood is received by faith in the spirit.




In Yahuwchanon (John) 6:35 the “key” to understanding what Yahusha meant by “eating his flesh and drinking his blood” is revealed: “he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst.”




Yahusha is saying, that by “coming to him” we ARE “eating his flesh” because we will never hunger. Messiah is also saying in this verse that by “believing on him” we ARE drinking his blood because we will never thirst. The Catholic doctrine uses a literal interpretation here when Yahusha makes it clear that his message was a metaphor.




What the Catholic Church calls a “monstrance.” They think that this is the “Ark of the Covenant!” They teach that Yahusha our Messiah comes down from his throne in heaven at every Mass and he miraculously appears inside the Eucharist Wafer inside of this golden “sunburst!” The sunburst is deliberately meant to represent “Ba’al” the pagan sun-god aka Tammuz!




In Ancient Egypt, pagan priests practiced transubstantiation where the wafer was shaped in a circle to represent the sun-god, Horus. The pagan Trinity on the Catholic Host reads: I H S. This is secretly encoded for Isis, Horus and Set.




The “Eucharist” is a round wafer for the “sun” and it is cradled inside of this little glass compartment shaped like a “crescent-moon” for Semiramis, the goddess of the moon. The gilded clip in which the wafer is held is accurately called a “lunette” which is Latin for “little moon.” The clear glass window where the wafer is displayed is called a “Luna” which means “moon.”




Catholicism is paganism disguised cleverly by Satan to look like Christianity. Catholicism disguises a false Trinity of the Pope as the Holy Father (Set), Jesus, the sun-god (Horus), and Mary, Queen of Heaven (Isis the moon goddess). Catholicism teaches that Mary is the “third person of the Trinity.” In other words, they are telling us that “Mary is the Holy Spirit!” Listen to what this Catholic publication says:







According to Soul Magazine, the official publication for The Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima: “Mary is so perfectly united with the Holy Spirit that he acts only through her, his spouse…all our life, word and deed is in Her hands…at every moment, She herself must instruct, guide, and transform each one of us into Herself, so that not we but She lives in us, as Jesus lives in Her, and the Father in the Son.”




Pope John Paul II gave a speech in Lithuania in 1993 revealing that the Catholic Church believes Mary is the Holy Spirit!




Time Magazine comments in September 1993’s issue:




“.....According to modern Popes Mary is ‘the Queen of the Universe, Queen of Heaven, Seat of Wisdom’....”




In the Pope’s September 1993 speech in Lithuania, he spoke of Mary as “Mother of the Church, Queen of the Apostles, and dwelling place of the Trinity!” Pope John Paul finalized his speech by saying, “To Mary I entrust all of you…” His final petition was a prayer to Mary:




“Hail, holy Queen of heaven, Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping, in this valley of tears. Turn, then most gracious Advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us: and after this our exiles show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus: O clement, loving sweet Virgin Mary.”




This is complete blasphemy!




Colossians 3:4 declares that Yahusha is our life---not Mary. 1st John 2:1 declares that Yahusha alone is our advocate with the Father!




According to the Roman Catholic Church, Mary has replaced the Holy Spirit as our teacher, guide!!! Do you see the similarity with the Egyptian pagan Trinity of Isis, Horus & Set?




In 1st Corinthians 11:25, Sha’uwl (Paul) teaches us that observing The Most High’s Supper was to be done “in remembrance of him.” This was the Passover Supper first given to the children of Yisra’el in Exodus 12 as they were commanded to remember when he delivered them out of Egyptian bondage. Our Messiah repeated this deliverance again for his bride by redeeming her out of bondage to paganism and idolatry at his Passover. But in the Catholic Mass, our Messiah Yahusha is crucified daily over and over again:




Vatican council page 102 states: “…for in the sacrifice of the Mass, our Lord is immolated.” Webster’s dictionary says: “immolate means to kill as a sacrificial victim.”




But The Most High declares in Hebrew 6:6 “…seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of Elohiym afresh and put him to an open shame.”




To crucify our Messiah afresh is to put him to open shame!




Louis Bourdaloue, a Jesuit Catholic priest who authored the book “The Passion of the Christ” was born at Bourges France in 1632. An excerpt of his book reveals that the Catholic Church “crucifies” our Messiah repeatedly, at each and every mass on millions of Catholic altars daily:




“The passion of Jesus Christ, however sorrowful and ignominious it may appear to us, must nevertheless have been to Jesus Christ Himself an object of delight, since this God-man, by a wonderful secret of His wisdom and love, has willed that the mystery of it shall be continued and solemnly renewed in His Church until the final consummation of the world. For what is the Eucharist but a perpetual repetition of the Savior’s passion, and what has the Savior supposed in instituting it, but that whatever passed at Calvary is not only represented but consummated on our altars? That is to say, that He is still performing the functions of the victim anew, and is every moment virtually sacrificed, as tho it were not sufficient that He should have suffered once; at least that His love, as powerful as it is free, has given to His adorable sufferings that character of perpetuity which they have in the Sacrament, and which renders them so salutary to us.”




This is blasphemy!!! This Jesuit Priest readily admits that the Eucharist is a perpetual repetition of Messiah’s suffering! If Yahusha is still performing the functions of the victim anew, and is at every moment virtually sacrificed as though it were not sufficient that he should have suffered once, then why were his last words as he died on the tree “It is finished?”




And why does the word of our creator tell us that he “died unto sin once?” The Greek translation for “finished” is tetelestai, which means, “paid in full.” The finality of Messiah’s finished work on the cross has been confirmed by the tearing of the Temple curtain which veiled The Most High’s earthly sanctuary called the Holy of Holies. His sacrifice thus signified that we now have an advocate with the Father through the blood of the Lamb as he granted us this access at that precise moment. (Mark 15:38)




1994 Catholic Catechism #1366: “The Eucharist is thus a sacrifice because it re-presents [makes present] the sacrifice of the cross...and because it applies its fruit...the forgiveness of the sins we daily commit.”




1994 Catholic Catechism #1367: “The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: the victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different. In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner.”




What is the point of Messiah offering himself in an “unbloody manner” if he says that “without the shedding of blood there is no remission for sin?” It is the shedding of his blood that purged our sins:




Ibriym (Hebrews) 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.




If the Catholic Catechism states that Messiah must be offered daily for the sins we commit daily, yet it is done in an unbloody manner, then it is done in vain! Not only that, but it is a lie that he must be sacrificed daily:




Romiym (Romans) 6:9-10 Knowing that Messiah being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he lives, he lives unto Elohiym.




Messiah’s sacrifice on the cross was a “once-and-for-all” event able to atone for our past, present and future sins! In this passage of Hebrews, we are told that under Messiah’s Renewed Covenant he does not have to “offer himself often” as the Catholic Catechism falsely teaches:




Ibriym (Hebrews) 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place every year with blood of others.




Ibriym (Hebrew) 9:26-28 “For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself… So Messiah was once offered to bear the sins of many…”




Catholic Catechism #1374: “In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist ‘the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained...This presence is called ‘real’ ...God and man make himself wholly and entirely present.”




This is an unbelievable statement! They are declaring that Messiah Yahusha (Jesus Christ) in his entirety (body, blood, soul and divinity) is on the Catholic altar! Since there are millions of masses being performed daily, that means that there are “many Christs” being offered daily! In a Catholic book, “The Faith of Millions”, John O’Brien states:




“When the priest announces the tremendous word of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from His throne, and places Him upon our altar to be offered up again as the Victim for the sins of man. It is a power greater than that of saints and angels, greater than that of Seraphim and Cherubim . . . The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows his head in humble obedience to the priest’s command.”




This is blasphemy to believe that a mere man---a sinner can command our Messiah to come down off of his throne to occupy a man-made wafer, and then to be consumed as a wafer! The scriptures declare that Messiah Yahusha has now become the “Victor” not the “Victim!”




1st Qorin’tiym (Corinthians) 15:54-57 “…Death is swallowed up in victory….O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?.....But thanks be to Elohiym, which gives us the victory through our Master Yahusha Messiah.”
