Impeach & Arrest — 4 Comments

  1. Mr. McBurney, you mentioned the fact that while in the Philippines, you noticed the large amount of Catholics in that nation. You also referenced them as Christians. I have listened to you for many years and I would bet that you do not accept Catholicism as being true Christianity. If I am wrong, perhaps we need to redefine what true Christianity is. I enjoy your show and have been a faithful listener and and agree with you on just about everything, so you can understand why I question your remarks regarding Catholicism.

  2. The apostle Paul implies in Philippians 1 that some will preach the gospel from envy, strife, & even selfish ambition. I believe the leadership of the catholic church fits in there, and that they are, for the most part not Christian. And furthermore, that their doctrine is contrary to sound doctrine and misleads many, even to the point of damnation.

    Paul goes on to say of such preaching that whether in pretense or in truth, he wishes Christ to be preached, implying in my mind anyway, that some people will be saved, even by lying preachers, providing that Christ crucified is preached. I believe this is where many Catholics fit in. Some are saved, even in a heretical church, because Christ crucified is preached, (once in a while anyway).

    But even more to the point: the world, and Godless pagans like Barry HO view the Catholic church as Christian, and they discriminate based on that impression.

    Thanks for listening!

  3. Catholic Clergy do indeed preach Christ as crucified. My objection is not about the motive of the one preaching, but about the substance of that being preached. Catholics participate in something called the “Mass” which, by the way, is addressed by Paul indirectly as a re-crucifying of our Lord. The Mass is a desecration of Christ’s Sacrifice and therefore nullifies the point in “Preaching Christ as Crucified” by Catholics and to….Catholics.

    To me, the point is that I would rather assume that more Catholics are going to Hell because of false teaching, than are being saved in spite of it.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply, Mr. McBurney.

  4. When I say “Christ Crucified”, I’m saying it in the Pauline sense, not the papal sense.

    I’ve always found the catholic depictions of Christ on the cross distasteful. And the mass is heretical. They’re a mess. And I agree, the majority of Catholics are going to hell… along with the majority of protestants, (and all the pagans). You make valid points brother! I also ponder my relationship with God more than I consider the Catholics, and I have some way to go myself…
