The Biblical Exodus is when the people Israel were enslaved in bondage to Egypt for 430 years crying out for God to deliver them and so He did as it is written in Exodus 26:8 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, exiting from a bad situation to the best solution, God himself; from self reliance to God dependent, from cruel slavery to freedom, from death unto light, and from separation to relationship with God and from weakness to God's power.
So it was in my experience when I being a catholic came out by God's doing, it was from uncertainty to surety, from lies to the truth, from darkness to light, from works to freedom in faith. I asked the Lord to show me the truth, show me why I did not feel his presence in the beautiful catholic buildings and mass and find out who really was Jesus. The Lord did answer me by showing the scriptures which is the power of God unto salvation..Romans 1:16 in 2 Gospel Chick Tracts...www.chick.com
But now having read the Bible from cover to cover since I have been saved, lead me to see other verses of scripture that I never knew which made me realize that I was deceived by catholicism. And it is good to hear from God himself before I show you His Biblical references....
Thus Saith the Lord through the inspired(God-breathed) Holy Scriptures,....For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart...Hebrews 4:12...All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works..2 Timothy 3:16-17 ...Yea, let God be true, but every man a liar;...Romans 3:4a Just want to make sure you heard right...Yea, let GOD BE TRUE, BUT EVERY MAN A LIAR..Whether we like it or not God is right all the time and we can't lean on what WE THINK is right and in love for God's truth I tell you this.
Against confessionals of our sins to a priest:
James 5:16 Confess your FAULTS (not sins) one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed..a miss understanding of this verse I believe lead to the ungodly practice.
1 John 1:9 IF we CONFESS our sins, he(God himself)is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness..the context is unto God for confession and forgiveness not unto men read the whole 1st chapter.
1 John 2:1b And if any man sin, we have an advocate(intercessor like an attorney in our defense) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propriation(substitutionary mercy seat) for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;..therefore there is no need for another confession of sins with any man whether pope or priest but God himself through Jesus.
Against calling a man spiritually "Father" such as a priest:
Matthew 23:8-10 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ: and all ye are brethren. And CALL NO MAN your FATHER(spiritual meaning here)UPON THE EARTH: for one is your Father, which is in HEAVEN. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ...so there is no need to call a priest, the pope or any other man your spiritual father because it is against God himself.
Against Infant Baptism for Salvation:
John 3:3,5 Jesus answered and said unto him(Nicodemus) "Verily, verily, I say unto thee. Except a man(NOT A BABY) be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water(being washed by the hearing of the Gospel) and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Romans 10:9-10, 13, 17: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man(NOT A BABY) believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession(NOT BABY BABBLE) is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. So then Faith cometh by HEARING and hearing by the Word of God...New born babies can neither talk nor comprehend language. They have to be spiritually born again, not physically. This is heresy(deliberate lie against the obvious truth of God's Holy Word).
Part 2 will have references against mary worship and the rosary, celibacy, homosexuality, abstaining from foods, purgatory, works, etc. so stay tuned and use these verses of scripture with the Lord's help to witness to those we care so much about who are in bondage and on their way to hell so hopefully they too may have an exodus unto Jesus. Amen
