Bible Study:

There is one Bible study commanded in Scripture by the Lord Jesus.  Jesus  commanded us to make disciples of all nations (see Matthew 28:18-20).  Jesus instructed us to do two things with these new disciples -- (1) baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and (2) teach them to obey all that Jesus commanded his disciples.  We have not found Bible studies that seek to fulfill that command, though hopefully there are some.  Because he was burdened about the lack of such a study, Bernie Koerselman wrote a Bible study intending to cover each of Jesus' commands and teachings.  

 

The study is broken down into small sections that can be downloaded either in Word or PDF format and in either Letter or A2 size for both the teacher/facilitator and the student.  See The Teachings and Commands of Jesus.

 

The study is life-changing.  Those who read, study, and seek to obey these commands, will be increasingly conformed to the likeness of Jesus. 

 

We highly commend this study.  If you have any questions or suggestions as to its use, please contact us.

Book -- Saving Faith:

Bernie Koerselman wrote the book Saving Faith in response to his concern about a false doctrine that has swept Christendom, particularly in the western nations.  In this book, Bernie proves from Scripture that salvation comes from receiving Jesus Christ as one's Lord.  He exposes the false doctrine that one can be saved by accepting Jesus as one's Savior -- a claim not found anywhere in Scripture.  

 

The book is divided into two sections.  The first section deals with believing -- what we are to believe and in whom we are to believe in order to have a saving faith.  In the second part Bernie (an attorney) shows how obedience, fruit, and works are the evidence of a saving faith.  

 

This is a highly documented study commended by many leading Christian leaders with Forewords written by D. James Kennedy, Dr. Harvey Hoekstra, and Dr. Joseph C. Aldrich.  The book in its entirety is on the website.  Click on Saving Faith.

Salvation Issues:

Saving Faith -- What Is It?

By Bernie Koerselman

This article reviews the many criteria for a saving faith.  First and foremost, Jesus must be LORD!  Then there is the need for obedience to his teachings and commands.  The article reviews even more salvation requirements taught by Paul and the Apostle John.  The article also refutes popular doctrines in the western church that war against a saving faith.  Read this to be aware of the dangers as well as the necessary criteria for a saving faith.  You will find out why the road is narrow and few find it.

 

Saving Faith

By Bernie Koerselman

A comprehensive overview of what Scripture says about a saving faith.  Many will be surprised.  God requires much more than is widely recognized.  The definition of "faith" may be quite different than the reader expects.

 

WHAT IS THE GOSPEL?

By Bernie Koerselman

Everyone in Christendom seems to use the term "Gospel".  What do they mean by that term?  Because we are plagued with false doctrines within western Christendom, it seemed appropriate to define the Biblical Gospel -- the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.  There is far more contained in the Gospel than one might first think.  Because the word "Gospel" is defined as good news, many think only positive things can be part of the Gospel.  You decide after reading this important article.  The article is also a review of what is required for salvation according to the Scriptures.

 

The Many Facets of a Saving Faith

By Bernie Koerselman

Many churches teach that salvation can be obtained by simply accepting the "free" gift of salvation and/or accepting Jesus as their Savior.  Bernie Koerselman shows this is far from the truth of Scripture.  He points out the multi-faceted warnings of Scripture that can cause one to forfeit salvation.  This article could cause many to come to a new understanding and to gain salvation through the Lord Jesus.

 

       FACETS OF A SAVING FAITH:

Jesus Must Be Lord!

By Bernie Koerselman

This is the foundational teaching underlying a saving faith.  We must have the proper object of our faith if we would have a saving faith.  This article proves that the New Testament Scripture repeatedly emphasizes the need for Jesus to be Lord of all those who would be saved.  The article not only shows the doctrine, but also the application of the doctrine in the early church.

 

Do The Will of God

By Bernie Koerselman

Scripture says that we must do the will of God if we are to enter heaven.  This facet of a saving faith is basic in that it contains all the other facets within it.  It is God's will that those who will be saved satisfy the requirements of all the facets of a saving faith.  The article shows the connection between the will of God and the teachings and commands of Jesus -- how they are one and the same.  It also shows the repeated emphasis by Jesus upon his words, his teachings, and his commands. 

Christians Must Be Righteous

By Bernie Koerselman

This article is concerned with the facet of a saving faith requiring righteousness exceeding that of the Pharisees and teachers of the law.  The centrality of righteousness in God's plan for mankind is reviewed.  This is another article that is scary -- the requirements are substantial.  Taking this to heart makes one truly fear God.  An important read and study for each of us to apply to our lives.

 

Conformed To His Likeness

By Bernie Koerselman

Does the Scripture require that all true believers -- those who will inherit the Kingdom of God -- be conformed to the likeness of Jesus?  The answer is an emphatic "YES"!  This article reveals the multiple Scriptures and proofs.  The gate and road to salvation begin to feel very narrow.  This is an important read!

 

Remain In Jesus

By Bernie Koerselman

This command of Jesus -- that we must remain in him --  is a salvation issue.  Jesus combines this command with the necessity to produce much fruit which gives glory to God and identifies those who produce much fruit as Jesus' disciples.  The issue is one of perseverance.  The article shows false doctrines and how this particular command of the Lord Jesus refutes the false doctrines.

 

God's View of Sin

By Bernie Koerselman

This article arose from the observation that those in the church live as though they are unaware of the way God views sin.  It was also because much of the church has falsely taught doctrines that seem to excuse sin or make it irrelevant as to salvation.  This article makes plain that Scripture teaches that those who "live like this" in regular patterns of sin will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.  You'll also get to review false doctrines in vogue today that deny the awfulness of sin and the judgment that will result from it.

 

You Must Be Born Again

By Bernie Koerselman

This is still another article that discusses a facet of a saving faith.  It was Jesus' teaching to Nicodemus that showed that being born again is necessary in order to have salvation.  Jesus said, "no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."  This article shows how one becomes born again, the results of being born again, and examples (my own) and Chinese prisoners.

Moses' Law or Christ's Law

By Bernie Koerselman

What is to govern the life and behavior of the Christian?  Is it Moses' Law from the Old Testament?  If so, is it all of the Old Testament law?  Or is it only the law that Jesus taught, that Paul called Christ's Law?  This article will give convincing answers to those questions.  You will see proofs from Scripture  that will satisfy your questions and teach you what true believers must obey.

 

Test Yourselves!

By Bernie Koerselman

Paul commands Christians to examine themselves -- test themselves -- to see if they are in the faith.  This article will permit you to do exactly that.  Perhaps you will learn that you do not have a saving faith.  You will also learn what to do to gain a saving faith, to have the indwelling Holy Spirit, and to have the joy, peace, and love that are the fruit of the Spirit.  Do not approach this subject lightly.  Each of these tests are a salvation issue!  Many will fail the tests!

 

Believe in Him

By Bernie Koerselman

John 3:16 assures salvation for all who "believe in Him."  But who is "Him"?  Is it possible a person's understanding of that could be wrong?  This chapter shows that there is a major misunderstanding -- a heresy -- in much of Evangelical Christianity, particularly as taught in the United States concerning which Jesus we are called to believe in in order to have salvation.

 

Jesus is Lord

By Bernie Koerselman

Scripture proclaims Jesus as Lord -- King of kings and Lord of lords.  This chapter establishes the salvation message of Scripture:  Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.  A huge preponderance of evidence establishes that Jesus is Lord of all those who will be saved and is Savior only of those for whom he is Lord.

 

Obedience:  The Mark of a (True) Christian

By Bernie Koerselman

In this article, the reasons are explained why obedience is a natural and necessary evidence of a saving faith.  Mr. Koerselman shows that the primary relationship between Jesus and his followers is that of Master and servant.  The servant's position requires obedience if he is to be a faithful servant.  Romans 8:29 is also added as the reason obedience is a necessary part of the true believer's behavior -- conformed to the likeness of Jesus.  Jesus was totally obedient to his father, saying and doing only that which the Father told him to do and say.

 

Obedience: Evidence of a Saving Faith

By Bernie Koerselman

This article shows that obedience comes from faith.  It is the evidence of the existence of a saving faith.  Salvation is reserved for those who do the will of God.  Only the obedient do the will of God.  Mr. Koerselman dispels the myth from Scripture that it is hard or impossible to obey.  Characteristics of the disobedient are distinguished from the blessings from God which accrue to those who obey the teachings and commands of Jesus.  Obedience is shown to be the natural expression of love for God.

 

Good Works: Evidence of a Saving Faith

By Bernie Koerselman

While emphasizing that salvation is not by works, that no amount or quality of works can earn salvation or qualify one for salvation, Mr. Koerselman shows the strong emphasis of Scripture that the true believer will display good works in his life.  These works are shown to have many purposes -- as a test, to give glory to God, as obedience, to prove repentance, as part of service, as a witness, for a lasting reward, and as evidence of a saving faith.  The article shows how much of the church has missed the mark and what the church must do.

 

Fruit:  Evidence Of a Saving Faith

By Bernie Koerselman

Just as salvation cannot be gained by works, neither will it be gained by the fruit in one's life.  Fruit, differently than works, is almost involuntary, an evidence of the presence of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life.  Like works it must be present -- as a test of whether or not true salvation exists.  We cannot have salvation without the presence of the Holy Spirit.  If we have the Holy Spirit, evidence of the fruit of the Spirit will prove that.

 

The Most Important Questions

By Bernie Koerselman

This is a tract which tells what the requirements are for salvation.  It is used by some to lead people to Jesus -- to give the full plan of salvation.  It can be printed and then folded to be put into an envelope.  It is done for both A4 paper and Letter size.  The hyperlink will activate Microsoft Word.  Just print page 1 first, then on the reverse print page 2.  The text in your browser will appear to be in only one column, but it is actually formatted into 3 columns.  Don't try to change it; just print it.

Deception In The Church

Fraud and Deceit In the Presentation Of the Gospel -- Fraud, Part I

By Bernie Koerselman 

Would anyone really present the gospel in a fraudulent manner?  Yes, sadly.  This article tells of the widespread misrepresentation of the gospel in our churches.  In fact, you will likely find the gospel misrepresented far more often than presented honestly and correctly.  Have we gathered around us preachers and teachers to tell our itching ears what we wish to hear?  

 

Fraud and Deceit In the Presentation Of the Gospel -- Deceit, Part II

By Bernie Koerselman 

Can the truth of the Gospel be described single-dimensionally as simply "believe in him"?  This article shows the multi-faceted nature of the Gospel -- with multiple qualifications (requirements) in Scripture which must all be satisfied in order to gain eternal life.  This article shows the narrow gate to be much narrower then perceived and presented by many in the church today.

 

Listening In

By Bernie Koerselman

The reader "listens in" on an email response to a person who wrote to say they learned he was advocating "lordship theology" and they were going to retract his article and apologize for printing it.  Bernie reviews the scriptures which emphasize the role of Jesus as Lord, how the early church preached, how the people received the Word, and the scriptural requirements for receiving Jesus as Lord and the commensurate duty to obey him.

 

Open Letter To Pastors
by Bernie Koerselman

In this letter, Bernie expresses his concern that the church has lost the plot.  First he recites the lack of discipleship -- the specific command of Jesus in the Great commission.  Then he reviews both fraud and deceit in the presentation of the Gospel.  This is a profound indictment of the church culture. 

Important Issues:

"Our" Lord

by Bernie Koerselman

This article investigates how the early church spoke and wrote about Jesus as Lord.  Did the first century church regard receiving Jesus as fundamental to salvation, or did it accept the notion advanced by man in the 20th and 21st century that salvation can be obtained by accepting Jesus as one's Savior?  The result of the study is overwhelmingly clear.  There is only evidence on one side -- that Jesus must be Lord.  There is no evidence to the contrary, none to support accepting Jesus only as Savior and obtaining salvation.

 

Which Law Does the Christian Obey?

By Bernie Koerselman

This question is behind many false doctrines and cults.  Paul condemned the Galatians for following teachers who tried to get them to follow Old Testament Laws.  Some pastors and teachers erroneously teach obedience to commands which are not what are prescribed for the New Testament believer by Jesus.  Many cults prescribe obedience to Old Testament Law.  This article tells what Scripture says the true Christian is to obey.

 

Sabbath, Sunday, Or . . .

By Bernie Koerselman 

The great problem is that many do not seem to know which of God's law the New Testament Christian is to obey.  That is the fundamental problem of the Sabbatarians -- those who claim God requires worship on the Sabbath.  The article includes the view of the first and second century writers -- some of whom were taught by the apostles who had been taught by Jesus.  The Sabbatarians seem to be modern-day Galatians -- those who accepted a false gospel that was so heartily condemned by the Apostle Paul.

 

Can Sinning Cost Salvation?

By Bernie Koerselman

Though Scripture is replete with many descriptions of sins that will deny salvation to those committing them, men have concocted doctrines that attempt to circumvent and make worthless the warnings of Scripture.

 

Romans 7 Revisited

By Bernie Koerselman

The famous passage, "For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate to do" is examined to see whether this was pre-Christ Saul or the Apostle Paul unable to live out the Christian life.  The proofs when examined in context may surprise you.

 

May Christians Divorce?  (And Remarry?)

By Bernie Koerselman

Amazingly the rate of divorce among Christians is higher than the general population and higher than agnostics and atheists in the United States.  This article looks at what Jesus said about marriage and divorce and then considers possible reasons for the high divorce rate among professing Christians.  Finally, it suggests the necessary actions wrongfully divorced professing Christians should take.

 

Are Christians Sinners or Saints?

By Bernie Koerselman

Often we hear people say, "I'm just a sinner saved by grace."  Can that be a true statement?  What does Scripture say?  Why is it important?  The answers may surprise you.

 

Should Christians FEAR God?

By Bernie Koerselman

Is God just an all-loving God who should simply be loved?  Scripture says we are to fear him.  What does that mean?  And what is the purpose of fearing God?  Is it important?  These questions and more are answered from Scripture.  The answers may surprise you.

 

How Does God Draw Men To Jesus?

By Bernie Koerselman

Jesus said no man can come to him unless the Father draw him.  How does the Father do that?  Charles Finney, one of the world's leading evangelists of the 19th century told how he believed God did that.  If this is so, we need to consider carefully what we do as we seek to bring people to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

The Trinity

By Bernie Koerselman

Many cults misrepresent the trinity so clearly revealed in Scripture.  Brahmanism says there is but one God.  Jehovah's Witnesses deny the divinity of Jesus and the trinity.  What does the Bible say?  This article makes clear that the trinity is true but the relationship within the Godhead may surprise.

 

A Deposit Guaranteeing Our Inheritance

By Bernie Koerselman

This article investigates whether the title phrase is really in the original Greek.  Though occurring three times in the the NIV version of the Bible, neither the word deposit nor the term guaranteeing is found in the original.  The author explains the true meaning of the Greek text.

Ecumenism

Letter Opposing The Ecumenical Accord:

"Evangelicals & Catholics Together; The Christian
Mission in the Third Millennium"

By  Bernie Koerselman

The letter reviews the efforts by Chuck Colson and other prominent Christian leaders to develop unity with the Roman Catholic Church, even agreeing not to proselyte the other's members.  The letter shows the betrayal of the reformation by the Accord, the history and present practices and doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, the danger to Catholics who might have come to a true knowledge of salvation, and the divisiveness this will cause among Protestants.

 

Letter to Promise Keeper's Board of Directors

By Bernie Koerselman

The letter discusses the present efforts of Promise Keepers leaders to develop unity with Mormons and Roman Catholics.  The letter presents substantial evidence that these religions worship a "different Jesus."  To join with them in unity would be to violate God's command to not be unequally yoked.  There is substantial discussion of the idolatrous practices of the Roman Catholic Church.

End-Times

The Tribulation, the Rapture, and the Final Wrath of God

By Bernie Koerselman

The Scriptures from the Revelation, Daniel, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Zechariah are reviewed to show there is a clear message which tells the believer there will be a rapture, the signs of when it will occur, and that it will be a world-wide, visible event striking terror into unbelievers.  The discussion differentiates between the tribulation which believers will endure and the final wrath of God which is reserved for unbelievers.

 

A Millennial Sabbath?

By Bernie Koerselman

Could the concept in Scripture of weeks of days, weeks, months, and years also apply to millenniums? Could the traditional Hebrew calendar have had errors which, when corrected, show we are close to the 7th Millennium?

 

Fulfillment of Revelation 12:1-4

By Bernie Koerselman

Revelation 12:1-4 is the familiar prophecy about the virgin about to give birth with the dragon poised above her to devour her child as soon as it was born.  I hadn't seen the first sentence which said:  "A great and wondrous sign appeared in the sky . . ."  That great and wondrous sign has appeared over Israel on the evening of the Feast of Trumpets in 1999.  

False Doctrines

     UNCONDITIONAL ETERNAL SECURITY

Is the Believer Eternally Secure?

By Bernie Koerselman

This is a careful examination of the popular doctrine of unconditional eternal security (UES) with proofs of its falsity developed from many different approaches.  Many who have reviewed this article have come to recognize the invidious evil associated with the doctrine.

when are christians forgiven?

By Bernie Koerselman

This article was written to investigate a false doctrine -- that upon conversion all a person's sins are forgiven forever, both past sins and those that will be committed in the future.  That doctrine is necessary to the false doctrine of unconditional eternal security, often called once-saved, always saved.  It should be no surprise that there is no support for this false doctrine in Scripture, but much support for the understanding that Christians are to confess their sins whenever they sin and upon sincere repentance their past sins will be forgiven.

 

When Are Christians Finally Saved?

By Bernie Koerselman

This article deals with a watershed issue that pertains to the fundamental basis for the false doctrine of unconditional eternal security (UES).  If UES were true, salvation would be obtained, never to be lost, at the time of conversion.  This article shows that premise to be false.  Over and over again, the theme of Scripture is to persevere in the faith, to test oneself to see if one is (still) in the faith, and to continue to be obedient to the will of God, as only those who do the will of God will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

 

Is God's Love Unconditional?

By Bernie Koerselman

The false doctrine of Unconditional Eternal Security has spawned several other false doctrines that are necessary to support its thesis.  If one is unconditionally saved, and cannot lose one's salvation, then there must be an unconditional love of God toward such a person, no matter whether he lives wickedly or even whether he leaves the faith.  More and more pulpits preach an unconditional love of God.  We ask, "Is that true?  What does the Bible say?"  As you will see, this is another false doctrine that leads many astray, perhaps to condemnation by God.

 

Proofs Of Conditional Salvation

By Bernie Koerselman

This is a comprehensive article that deals with many issues associated with the false doctrine of once saved, always saved.  This article can give you many of the proofs you need to discuss this issue intelligently with others.  The author, an attorney, proves beyond a reasonable doubt the falsity of the doctrine of unconditional eternal security.

CALVINISM

 

Foreknowledge Or Predestination

By Bernie Koerselman

A watershed issue for the Christian life.  Are people predestined to salvation or damnation?  If so, there can hardly be any personal responsibility associated with salvation.  On the other hand, if God foreknows those who will be saved, but only predestines the necessary qualifications of those who will be saved, then all who have the opportunity of salvation need only meet God's requirements in order to be saved.  See what Scripture says. 

 

Foreknowledge:  Jacob and Essau

by Bernie Koerselman

In Romans 9, Paul discusses Essau and Jacob in a passage many have taken to endorse the predestination doctrine advanced by Calvinists.  By using Scripture to explain Scripture, the author demonstrates that it is not predestination but God's foreknowledge that permits him to know in advance whether a given person will be saved or damned.

The Doctrine of Predestination
by Bernie Koerselman

Does the doctrine of predestination naturally follow from the fact that God is sovereign?  The author shows that because God is sovereign he can accomplish his purposes the way he wishes and ordains.  He is not bound to the doctrines established by Calvinists.  With overwhelming evidence from Scripture, the author establishes that our God desires that all should come to repentance and be saved.  He has not limited salvation to those predestined to be saved as the false Calvinist doctrine of predestination would have us believe.

Cults

Branhamism

Edited by Bernie Koerselman

This article is taken from several documents from different sources on the life and teachings of William Branham.  This article describes Mr. Branham's beginnings, his ministry, and recounts his unscriptural views.  He is known for a picture which shows a halo around his head during a preaching tour in Houston, Texas in 1950.  His followers consider him to be the prophet for the Laodicean Age, the voice of Revelation’s seventh messenger, which Branham claimed to be.  Some of his followers have extreme views, some believing he had a virgin birth, others that he will come back raised from the dead.  William Branham believed the doctrine of the Trinity was of the devil, he preached a baptism only in the name of Jesus Christ, said that part of humanity came from a physical union of Satan with Eve (the portion he said was predestined to go to hell).  According to Branham, all denominations within Christendom are apostate and of the Devil.

Post World Trade Center Tragedy

Response to Terrorism (A Christian Perspective)

By Bernie Koerselman

When the World Trade Center collapsed and the United States Pentagon was attacked, the world recognized a new paradigm had begun which would have to take into account how to react to terrorism.  While there is much talk about retaliation and even revenge, what should be the response of the Christian?  Is it a knee-jerk reaction or should we go to our Master, repent of our sin, and seek his counsel and his commands?

 

A Time For Truth

By Bernie Koerselman

Bernie speaks to the same subject as Dave Hunt, but in a different way.  He relates why the Muslim acts as he does, how he can commit atrocities in which he is killed, which explains why Muslims are primarily the ones committing such terrorist acts throughout the world.

False Doctrines

The Five Points of Calvinism Considered

By David Servant 

David goes point by point through the five points of Calvinisms' TULIP.  He primarily refutes the publication, TULIP: What We Believe about the Five Points of Calvinism by John Piper.  Good writing, good reading, and excellent accumulation of scriptures to prove the falsehood of Calvinism.

Important Issues

HURRICANE JESUS

By David Servant

Could the Katrina Hurricane be a warning or punishment sent by God?  Lots of people are asking that question right now.  Some claim vociferously that a hurricane is simply an act of nature and it is going way too far to claim it could be an act of punishment by God.  David brings the Scripture to bear on this subject.  I think you'll find the article informative, interesting, and thought-provoking.

 

Why the Tsunami?

By David Servant

With loss of life approaching 140,000, people all over the world are wondering how God could have allowed such a tragedy to take place.  David Servant answers those questions and many related questions.  You'll appreciate his analysis.

 

The Resurrection of Pastor Daniel Ekechukwu

By David Servant

Not surprising, the well-researched story of the resurrection of Pastor Daniel Ekechukwu has been much criticized.  I leave to you what you can learn and take from this story that many swear to be true.  You may also find the last part of the story particularly important, as it shows God's lessons intended from this miracle.  It shows a pastor who devoted himself to service to the Lord, yet would have lost his salvation over his refusal to forgive his wife -- exactly as stated in Matthew 6 and 18.

 

Follow-up On the Daniel Ekuchukwu Report

By David Servant

This article is a follow-up of the one that first revealed the resurrection of Pastor Daniel Ekechukwu.  Many people around the world asked question.  David answered them both from the facts and from Scripture.

 

Concerning the Resurrection Of Daniel Ekechukwu

By David Servant

In this article, David recounted his second investigation of the resurrection of Daniel Ekechukwu.  Using video cams and audio recording equipment, David established even more firmly the legitimacy of the claims of the resurrection.

 

Answering Skeptics

By David Servant

Because the website of a discernment ministry has continued to mischaracterize the resurrection of Daniel Ekechukwu, David Servant wrote a response that examined the arguments presented against the resurrection.  Sadly, we find that the claims against the resurrection were made without new facts and by using false arguments and untrue assertions.  In many instances the author used Scripture improperly.  This is an example of people with a preconceived theology that supersedes both what God is doing and what the Scripture says.  It is a worthy read.

 

Salvation Issues

DO I BELIEVE JESUS OR PAUL?

By David Servant

David reviews what some claim are contradictions in the teachings of Jesus and of Paul.  David shows that these are not contradictions at all, but rather must be, and easily can be, harmonized.  Scripture must never be read as if contradictions exist.  That only points to a lack of understanding.  Rather, properly understood, Scripture is a wonderful unity without contradictions.

Spiritual Intimidation

By Mary Ann Collins

What kind of influence has the Roman Catholic Church exerted on kings and rulers in countries where they have had influence?  It is certainly true that the Roman Catholic Church has far greater influence through spiritual intimidation than anyone would guess.

 

The Spirit of Roman Catholicism

By Mary Ann Collins

This comprehensive article reveals much about the past, present, and future intentions of the Roman Catholic Church.  Neither its historic past, its present or its intended future are good.  Indeed, should their future plans come to pass, we could expect extreme persecution of true Christians.

 

Book:  The Spirit Of Roman Catholicism

Mary Ann has turned her article into a full-scale book.  Mary Ann has first-hand knowledge of what she reveals and great insight from her personal experience as an ex-nun into the real Roman Catholic Church.  Please see the outline of the book by clicking on the title and access to the full book in Word format.

 

Serving Two Masters

By Mary Ann Collins

In her usual insightful way, Mary Ann looked at the history of the Roman Catholic Church to show that the church considers itself above the laws of the land (any country).  The scandal of sexual abuse by priests and the failure to report the crimes to secular authority is an example of that mentality.

 

Forged Documents and Papal Power

By Mary Ann Collins

How did the Roman Catholic Church gain the power it has today?  This article shows that the power was gained through fraud -- forged documents.  In order to fully appreciate the fraud perpetuated by the RCC, one would have to analyze hundreds of documents.  Mary Ann has condensed this for us.

 

Who Is the Woman?

By Mary Ann Collins

A former nun, MaryAnn Collins is in an excellent position to give an authoritative view of the Roman Catholic Church.  In this article, she gives much information that I've never heard before.  This is an excellent and important read.

 

Sexual Abuse Of Nuns

From Mary Ann Collins

Mary Ann sent a report found in a Catholic newspaper on the sexual abuse of nuns, a surprising number being abused by Catholic clergy, both priests and nuns.

 

Curses and Anathemas

By Mary Ann Collins

Mary Ann points out that only the Roman Catholic Church seeks to damn people to hell through curses and anathemas.  Even Satanists don't do that.  She recites several documented instances in history when exactly that has happened, but brings it up to date when such anathemas were reaffirmed in 1962.

Ecumenism

Ecumenism and the Council Of Trent

By Mary Ann Collins

Is the ecumenism espoused by the Roman Catholic Church honest?  Do they believe there is something in common between themselves and the Protestant denominations?  Or is there something very sinister, quite different than what is represented?  

 

Fatima To Become Interfaith Shrine

By Mary Ann Collins

Most of us are unaware of the activities of Roman Catholic Church in actively seeking to united the religions of the world.  This article exposes how they are attempting to do that by promoting the use of the Fatima shrine by all religions.

Important Issues      

The Da Vinci Code and Other Deceptions

By Mary Ann Collins

This extremely popular book has sold about seven million copies by mid-2004.  It has a message, however, that is contrary to that of Scripture.  Is it correct?  Mary Ann has done a lot of work to get us accurate answers and to expose the falsity of the entire premise behind the book and others like it.  If you've read the book or heard about it, this is an important article for you.

Creation Proves the Bible Is the Living Word of God

By Dave Hunt

Recent advances in science are providing many additional proofs that the Bible is the true and living word of God.  Dave Hunt reviews many proofs from science to make his point.  The molecular level of life is so complex it proves it could only have been created by design and not by accident through "evolution."  An interesting and helpful read.

Overwhelming Mathematical Evidence Of the Divine  Inspiration of the Scriptures
