Trappings of Popery

Trappings of Popery

Bible Protestants loathe the religious system known as Popery, with all its demonic doctrines and abominable practices. They
know that Popery is the religion of Antichrist, and that its adherents are blind, deceived, lost souls, worshipping at the
shrines of grotesque heathen deities which have been carried over lock, stock and barrel from ancient Babylon, Egypt
and Rome, and given Christian names. True Christians or Bible Protestants (for they are one and the same: not all
Protestants are true Christians, but all true Christians are Bible Protestants), reject the great heretical doctrines of
Roman Catholicism: such as their blasphemous counterfeit of the Holy Trinity (the Father, the Mother-goddess Mary,
and the various false “christs” – the mass-wafer, the crucifiximage, the pope of Rome himself, the priests, and others),
their doctrine of salvation by works, their rejection of the allsufficiency of Holy Scripture, and all the rest. They reject the claims of Papists to be true Christians, and they detestand shun any unholy communion or spiritual fellowship with
Papists, knowing that this is to attempt to join Christ to Belial,
and is a grievous sin before God.
