10 Scriptural Reasons Roman Catholics Are not Christian

Roman Catholicism is not Christian, it is a satanically inspired counterfeit of Christianity that has deceived billions into worshipping a false Christ. If you really love Catholics, you will gently show them the Truth so that they can decide who they will believe: the Vatican's Catechism, or the Holy Bible.

Here are ten glaring false teachings that the Catholic catechism declares. Each one directly contradicts the Word of God. Click on the 'Details' links to compare the Bible with Catholic teaching.

10 Unscriptural Basic Catholic Doctrines

From the 1994 Catechism of the Catholic Church

• The Roman Catholic Church teaches that it is the only source of salvation for sinners. The Bible teaches the LORD Jesus Christ is the only Saviour. Details
• Catholics are taught that only the Catholic Church can forgive sins. The Bible teaches that forgiveness comes directly from God through faith in Christ, not through church membership or sacraments Details
• Catholics believe the lie that Baptism saves. Water baptism saves nobody. Salvation must precede water baptism Details
• Popes are infallible. The truth is only God is infallible, all men are corrupt Details
• Roman Catholic Priests and Leaders are infallible. This blasphemy is clearly exposed by recent publicity Details
• The Catholic Sacraments are essential for salvation. Nobody is saved by sacraments, but through faith in Christ alone Details
• The Catholic Church is the only correct interpreter of Scriptural doctrine. The Holy Spirit is the only Interpreter man needs. Details
• Transubstantiation; God is formed into a biscuit at the priest's command. This unbiblical idolatrous blasphemy is taken from Babylonian sun worship Details
• The Eucharist keeps from sin. Only genuine heart faith in Christ takes away sin Details
• The Virgin Mary is a co-redeemer and saviour. This hideous blasphemy puts Mary into the Trinity, and breaks her heart Details
• Plus many more. Details

Quotes of famous Christian Reformers

Martin Luther: We here are of the conviction that the papacy is the seat of the true and real Antichrist. Personally, I declare that I owe the Pope no other obedience than that to Antichrist.

John Calvin said of the pope, I deny him to be the vicar of Christ, who, in furiously persecuting the gospel, demonstrates by his conduct that he is Antichrist.

John Knox: As for your Roman Church... I no more doubt that it is the synagogue of Satan.

John Wycliffe: Of the pope, he said: Why is it necessary in unbelief to look for another Antichrist.

William Tyndale: I defy the pope, and all his laws. If God spare my life, 'ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plough to know more of the Scripture than he does.
