The Council of Trent


The Council of Trent was put together to counter the Reformation in the 1500’s. In this document there are over one hundred “anathemas” (curses) against any believer who dares to disagree with Catholicism. The Vatican has not changed these curses nor have they removed them as they claim to speak “Ex-Cathedra” as the voice of the Almighty. If they were to remove these curses, they would not be very credible as the “voice of the Almighty,” now would they?


Canon 1: “If anyone denies that in the sacraments of the most Holy Eucharist are contained truly, really and substantially the body and blood together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently the whole Christ, but says that He is in it only as in a sign, or figure of force, let him be anathema.”


Cannon 4: “If anyone says that the sacraments (Eucharist) of the New Law are not necessary for salvation but are superfluous, and that without them or without the desire of them men obtain from God through faith alone the grace of justification, though all are not necessary for each one, let him be anathema.”


Here the Catholic Church declares that receiving the Eucharist is necessary for salvation and not faith alone. If anyone believes otherwise they are cursed by the Catholic Church!


The Most High, however declares in Romans 3:20 “By the works of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight.” Paul’s letter to the Romans is referring to the works of man-made doctrines and laws, not the Torah (Mosaic Law) given by our Creator.




Canon 6: “If anyone says that in the Holy sacrament of the Eucharist, Christ, the only begotten Son of God, is not to be adored with the worship of latria, also outwardly manifested, and is consequently neither to be venerated with a special festive solemnity, nor to be solemnly borne about in procession according to the laudable and universal rite of custom of holy church, or is not to be set publicly before the people to be adored and that the adorers thereof are idolaters, let him be anathema.”


In this, they command every Catholic to worship the Eucharist. The bread of the Eucharist is man-made, yet The Most High commands us not to worship anything that is made with hands----this is idolatry!


Sha’uwl (Paul) the Apostle declared to the Ephesians and throughout all of Asia, that anything made with men’s hands are not “gods” and therefore not to be worshiped:


Ma’aseh Shlichiym (Acts) 19:26 “…this Sha’uwl (Paul) has persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands.”


Ma’aseh Shlichiym (Acts) 17:24 Elohiym that made the world and all things therein, seeing he is The Most High of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands.


The scriptures declare to us that The Most High has not entered any place “made with hands!” Therefore he cannot enter into a man-made wafer called the Eucharist!


Ibriym (Hebrews) 9:24 For Mashiyach (Messiah) is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of Elohiym for us.


Yet the Catholic Church declares the opposite of the word of our Creator:


Canon 8: “If anyone says that Christ received in the Eucharist is received spiritually only and not also sacramentally and really, let him be anathema.”


Cannon 9: “If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate in order to obtain the grace of justification, and that it is not in any way necessary that he be prepared and disposed by the action of his own will, let him be anathema.”


Canon 15: “If anyone says that a man who is born again and justified is bound of faith to believe that he is assuredly in the number of the predestinate (saved) let him be anathema.”


Canon 30: “If anyone says after the reception of the grace of justification the guilt is so remitted and the debt of eternal punishment so blotted out to every repentant sinner, that no debt of temporal punishment remains to be discharged either in this world or in purgatory before the gates of heaven can be opened, let him be anathema.”


According to Catholic Catechism, no person has the right to believe that he or she has assurance of salvation. If you do believe that, then you are automatically consigned to Hell, damnation, and loss of salvation according to the Catholic Church.


But 1st Yahuwchanon (John) 5:13 says: “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of Elohiym; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of Elohiym.”


According to the Catholic Church, the Apostle John under the unction of the Holy Spirit must be cursed to believe in assurance of salvation!
