Angelica Zambrano false prophet.

Are the alleged revelations of Heaven and Hell to Angelica Zambrano fake or real? Updated January 14, 2018

An evaluation of the alleged divine revelation that Angelica Zambrano claims to have had.

Angelica Zambrano is a young Ecuadorian who allegedly was revealed to her Heaven and Hell by Our Lord Jesus Christ. But these explanations, and what she says that she saw in Heaven and Hell, are contrary to Apostolic Tradition.

A list of doctrinal errors in the alleged visions of Heaven and Hell attributed to Angelica Zambrano is the following:

1) She argues that John Paul II is in Hell

She says that saint John Paul is in hell because he was "idolatrous", "fornicator", "liar", "lived with nuns" and "never told the truth because he preferred money to the truth." Besides this, there is the grave sin of having celebrated many Masses.

The Lord said to me, "Look, Daughter, that man that you see there, is Pope John Paul II. He is here in this place; he is being tormented because he did not repent."

But I asked, "Lord, why is he here? He used to preach at church." Jesus replied, "Daughter, no fornicator, no idolater, no one who is greedy and no liar will inherit My Kingdom."

I replied, "Yes, I know that is true, but I want to know why he is here, because he used to preach to multitudes of people!" And Jesus responded, "Yes, Daughter, he may have said many things, but he would never speak the truth as it is. He never said the truth and they know the truth and although he knew the truth, he preferred money over preaching about salvation. He would not offer reality; would not say that hell is real and that heaven also exists; Daughter, now he is here in this place."

To answer whether Pope John Paul II did not offer the reality of Hell, JP II made two catechesis to talk about the existence of heaven and hell, which are entitled "Heaven is Fullness of Communion with God" and "Hell is the State of Those who Reject God"

The official Church Catechism was edited and approved by John Paul II in 1992, and is the governing teaching we receive Catholics around the world. The Catechism has devoted several paragraphs to explain the existence of heaven (1023 - 1029) and Hell (1033 - 1037), which for us is a dogma of faith.

2) She says that demons walk like Michael Jackson.

Angelica, in addition to stating that he was a Satanist and made pacts with the devil "to get your fame." She also ensures that the dance steps of Michael Jackson are precisely the way that demons they walk.

“Those steps that he performed, that's the way I saw demons walk while tormenting people in hell. They would slide backward and not move forward.”

If this were true, demons would dance like Michael Jackson in hell all the time.

3) She says that souls in Hell must keep doing what they did on Earth, if they didn´t repent.

She relates:

I looked all over that area, it was full of singers and artists who have died. All they did was sing and sing, they wouldn't stop singing. The Lord explained, "Daughter, the person who is here, must continue doing here, whatever they did on Earth, if they had not repented."

This is a serious doctrinal error, since souls can not go on sinning. The souls can´t continue killing if they killed or keep stealing if they stole, or keep having sex if they did it on Earth.

4) She says that God the Holy Spirit will no longer be on earth when the Antichrist is manifested.

The Lord told me, "Daughter, in those days, death will flee; Daughter, in those days the Holy Spirit will no longer be on Earth."

That's a lie; the Holy Spirit is not the one holds the public manifestation of Antichrist.

The Holy Spirit came the day of Pentecost and will never be absent. (John 14:16-17)

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”

The Holy Spirit can not fail to keep pouring out his gifts upon the good ones that will live during the Great Tribulation.

5) She says: Whoever hears or sings songs of Michael Jackson will end up in Hell.

“Anyone who listens to Michael Jackson's songs or sings them or who is a fan of Michael Jackson, I warn you that satan is trapping you in his web so that you will end up in hell.”

The Church teaches that only those who die without repenting of their mortal sins go to Hell, singing a song or listening to a song are not mortal sins (even if the singer is sinful).

6) She says that kids are going to Hell for watching cartoons.

Instantly, the Lord showed me an eight year old boy being tormented in fire. The boy cried, "Lord have mercy of me, take me out of this place, I don't want to be here!" He kept crying and screaming. I saw demons around this boy, that resembled cartoon figures. There was Dragon Balls Z, Ben 10, Pokémon, Doral, etc. "Lord, why is this boy here?" Jesus showed me a large screen of this boy's life. I saw how he would spend all of his time in front of the TV, watching these cartoons.

Watching cartoons is not a mortal sin; therefore, no child is going to Hell because of watching cartoons.

Difference between sins unto death and not unto death:

1 John 5:16-17

16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

Jesus himself warned us not to offend small children, because their guardian angels have guaranteed intercessory access to the Father:

Matthew 18:10

10 See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 19:14

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

All this should be sufficient to convince any faithful Christian that her visions of Hell are false.

7) She ensures that all Catholic priests, who don´t get married, to pronounce their vow of chastity, do it to sleep with nuns.

“While it's true that these people do not get married ( Catholic priests), I can assure you, I'm not making this up, the Lord showed it to me, those people do sleep with nuns; with many women there!”

Another indisputable reason that her heart is full of hatred against the Catholic Church.

8) She argues: "The Saints are but demons"

“Humanity has been deceived believing in an assumed saint, which is not, but is a demon”

So are all the saints canonized by the Catholic Church demons?

The saints serve us as role models in living out virtues. They are no substitute for God. These are people who have risked their lives and that God puts us as reference points.

The Saints are models. We should imitate the heroic virtue of the saints. They teach us to interpret the Gospel avoiding accommodate it to our mediocrity. For example, to see how the saints love the Eucharist, the Virgin and poor, we can understand how far can love a heart that is open to grace.

9) She says that Catholics believe the Virgin Mary and St. Gregory offer salvation, when Catholics believe that only God offers salvation.

Catholic Christians believe that saints not save people, but only intercede for us.

The Apostolic Tradition states:

"Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness. . . . They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus . . . . So by their fraternal concern is our weakness greatly helped." (Lumen Gentium 49)

The saints are only intercessors and we ask them to ask God the Father (through Jesus Christ) the graces necessary for our salvation, but all the graces and all miracles come from God only, as regardless of the intercession of the saints or not, only God grants man all the graces and all the miracles according to His holy will.

Our Protestant brothers ask:

Is there no one mediator between God and men?

And we answer: It is true, there is only one mediator between God and men.

St. Paul tells us: "There is one God, and one mediator between God (here refers to God the Father) and men, Christ Jesus" (1 Tim 2:5).

If we consider God as one God in three distinct Persons or hypostases: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, God the Son is the mediator between God the Father and men.

The saints present God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ (through the only mediator between God the Father and men, Jesus Christ) our prayers in order to receive from God all that is beneficial for the salvation of our souls.

John 16:23

“Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you."

There is only one mediator between God the Father and men. Intercessor before God the Son anyone can be, as our separated brethren, who are intercessors with God the Father, through Jesus Christ (ask for on his behalf), when they pray for their brothers. For example, if a Protestant pastor says God takes care of my sister Patty, in the name of Jesus Christ, here he is being an intercessor before God the Father of her sister Patty.

Differences between the mediator and intercessor words:

The mediator is the one who resolve or reconcile all conflicting parties, in this case, the mediator reconciles God with men.

The intercessor, intercedes on favor of another, especially one who prays to God or ask God for another, as do the saints.

Jesus is the only mediator between God and men, because man receives from the hands of God, not of saints, all miracles, graces and blessings for our salvation. Jesus Christ is the only mediator and the only one who saves.

Therefore, there is no need, if so we want as Catholics to ask the saints to pray to God the Father (through Jesus Christ- in the name of Jesus) for us, if we can do it directly with God the Father(through Jesus Christ) , since God alone depends all miracles, thanks and blessings are granted.

With this we conclude that only God makes miracles, not saints or Mary as many people mistakenly believe. But the saints and the Virgin Mary can intercede for us in the name of Jesus before God the Father, and receive from God, all that is best suited for our good and of all his Church.

“Let the reader understand”

WE ARE ALL INTERCESSORS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE:

Paul tells the Christians in Rome:

Romans 15:30

"But I urge you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to help me by praying for me before God."

When your pastor or yourself asks God in the name of Jesus for a brother of yours, that makes you an intercessor. The mediator is Jesus between you and the Father.

(Jesus is the only mediator between men and the Father)

More examples of holy people interceding for men:

1. Mary intercedes in favor of the marriage in the wedding at Cana and she got that Jesus did his first miracle:

“And on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; and both Jesus and His disciples were called to the marriage. And when they lacked wine, the mother of Jesus said unto Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said unto her, “Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come.” His mother said unto the servants, “Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.” (John 2)

2. When God was displeased by the four men who had invented to the Patriarch Job what he had done, he said:

"Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. And My servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept, lest I deal with you after your folly in that ye have not spoken of Me the thing which is right, like My servant Job.” (Job 42:8)

3. Moses says to God, "Forgive the wickedness of this people, according to the greatness of thy mercy" (Num 14:19) and God replies, "I forgive you according to your plea"

Also the saints who passed to another life, intercede for the living:

- Jeremiah, already dead, intercede for the people of Israel (2Macc 15:14-16).

- Elijah, already dead, still doing miracles (Sir 48: 13-14).

- The twenty-four elders present the prayers of the saints (Rev 5:8, Rev 8: 3-5), ie of the followers of Christ.

- The rich man intercedes for his brothers (Luke 16:27).

10) She argues that Catholics worship images and that we are idolaters, when that is not true. And for this reason we must become Pentecostal Protestants.

A comment of this nature was to be expected, because for them the Blessed Virgin Mary is another "woman" more, and they emphasize "no one was worshiping her" (convinced that we do what they think we do).

About whether Catholics worship images and are idolaters.

Must be said that the true worship and adoration belongs to God alone, and that any kind of worship is given to God, not to an image or a statue.

When in front of an image of Jesus, it is said that the Catholics use the image to pray, is to remember and maintain a dialogue with the Person it represents, in this case, with Jesus. That is, the Catholic maintains a dialogue with Jesus and uses his image as a memory of Him.

The Catholic does not maintain a dialogue with a piece of paper or a statue but with the Person who represents. The situation is different.

In the same way that to remember our mother we use her photo, Catholics, to remember Jesus, we use images representing our Lord Jesus Christ.

No Catholic worship an image or a statue but only to God.

God is remembered through an image or a crucifix. A Catholic does not talk to an image but to the Person it represents.

All this means that Catholics make use of images as memories of the person they believe is in heaven and pray to God to grant them the graces necessary for their salvation.

What is worship?

Worship is recognizing someone as a supreme being. Therefore, you should only God.

“Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.” (Mat. 4:10)

What is veneration?

The veneration consists of pay a tribute of honor, respect or affection for a person (angels and saints) or thing (relics, statues or pictures) for some special reason (for example, an excellent holiness).

In this regard, the Bible states:

- Angels are worthy of veneration. (Josh. 5:13-15; Tobit 12:15-16)

- The patriarchs are remembered fondly and their graves respected (Gen. 23:1-20; 25, 5-7; 1 Kgs 2:10; Mt 23:29; Acts 2:29)

- The prophets, David, John the Baptist and a large number of characters are remembered for their holiness, wisdom and dedication to the cause of his people (Ws 10:1ss; Sir 44-50, Matthew 11:11-15, Heb 11:1 ss, etc..)

- Mary, the mother of Jesus, is celebrated as "full of grace" (Lk 1:28), "blessed are you among women" (Lk 1:42) and "blessed" (Lk 1:48).

11) False interpretation from Scripture on the Second Coming of Christ.

The Lord told me, “I am going to show you how the day of the Rapture will be."

We walked to a place with a giant screen, and I saw people in it. I could observe the whole world. Then suddenly I saw thousands of people disappearing.

They were saying that Christ had come, the Rapture happened.

On the screen I saw people running around. Magazines and TV news said that “CHRIST HAD COME.”

PRELIMINARY ERROR:

What Pentecostal Protestants known as rapture is a newly created Pentecostal doctrine.

The passages they use are these:

1 Thess. 4: 15-17.

15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until THE COMING OF THE LORD will by no means precede those who are asleep. (the dead)

16 For the Lord Himself WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God (eveyone will hear him). And the dead in Christ WILL RESURRECT first.

17 Then WE WHO ARE ALIVE and REMAIN (those who are alive when Christ comes) shall be caught up, TOGETHER WITH those who resurrected first, in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall ALWAYS be with the Lord.

IN THIS PASSAGE it tells us that dead believers will resurrect and will go to Heaven together with living believers.

Compare with:

-1 Corinthians 15:51-53

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep «die», but we (THE LIVING) shall all be changed, (from a corrupt body to an uncorrupted body)

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and THE DEAD shall be RAISE incorruptible, and we (the living) shall be changed. (our bodies will be transformed from one corrupt body to one incorrupt body)

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

In both texts there is no talk of any rapture, it is said that at the Second Coming of Christ, believers will resurrect and go to Heaven together with those who are alive, both alive and dead will receive a body.

Therefore in the rapture will resurrect the dead and the living will be transformed (having a new body, from one corrupt body to one incorrupt body)

Why what they call "rapture" no protestant false prophet mentions the resurrection of the dead and the transformation of the bodies of the living which will take place in the "rapture", where both, the living and the resurrected dead will go to Heaven?

Why any pentecostal Protestant mention this? Why any false prophet has seen the resurrection of the dead that will take place in the rapture?

The answer is because they do not read the Scriptures and interpret them in their own way under the inspiration of the devil.

BEFORE PROCEEDING:

- We as Catholics to the meeting of the good ones with Christ in heaven during the Second Coming is not called "rapture" by us but only "Second Coming" where we know that implicitly that good ones will go to heaven and bad ones to Hell.

ERRORS ABOUT THE MEETING OF THE GOOD ONES WITH CHRIST IN HEAVEN (called rapture by Protestants)

FIRST ERROR:

She argues that the rapture so named for the Protestants will be pre-tribulational. That is, she says that Jesus will come to Earth to take a group to Heaven, while another group will be left on Earth for seven years during the Great Tribulation, after which Jesus will come for 3rd time to Earth.
What protestants call rapture before the great tribulation is an error. Read the bible:

Matthew 24:29-41

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

The passage above, speaks of how Christ will come to take the good ones to heaven and if we read later on he also come to take the bad ones to Hell:"But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 24:48-51)

SECOND ERROR:

Pentecostals say that the church, that is, the saints will not be persecuted during the great persecution, but Scripture tells us otherwise:

“And it was given unto him to MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” (Rev 13:7)

“I beheld, and the same horn made WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and prevailed against them;” (Daniel 7:21)

“And he shall speak great words against the most High, and SHALL WEAR OUT THE SAINTS of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” (Daniel 7:25)

“And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wondrously, and shall prosper and perform, and shall destroy the mighty and THE HOLY PEOPLE.” (Daniel 8:24)

If there will be a rapture, this will not be before the great tribulation, but later.

THIRD ERROR: About the belief that Pentecostal Protestants won't go through the great tribulation:
Matthew 24:9

9 “Then they will deliver you up to TRIBULATION and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

John 16:33

33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have TRIBULATION; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Acts 14:22

22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many TRIBULATIONS enter the kingdom of God.”

2 Thessalonians 1:4-5

4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and TRIBULATIONS that you endure, 5 which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;

Revelation 1:9

9 I, John, both your brother and companion in the TRIBULATION and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

FOURTH ERROR:
About the coming wrath.

Pentecostals say the Rapture will happen because no saint will suffer the wrath of God, which they interpret as if they would not go through the Final Judgment, and that it will only be to the wicked, but the Bible says Final Judgment will be for the good ones and wicked ones. Here comes the banter.

The coming wrath refers exactly to eternal damnation, the wrath to come also refers to the final judgment, the wicked will go to hell, the good one will be rewarded with Heaven, the coming wrath is not refer to their abduction where the good are taken to Heaven to not suffer on Earth while the wicked suffer the wrath of God in the great tribulation.

According to the Fathers of the Church the coming wrath is referred to eternal damnation.Let's check:

John 3:36: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them (eternal damnation) ". We see in this case that, as the "eternal life" is eternal, so the "wrath of God" will be eternal.

Romans 5:9: Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath (from eternal damnation) through him!

Ephesians 5: 6: Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath (eternal damnation) comes on those who are disobedient.

1 Thessalonians 5: 9: For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

FIFTH ERROR: The Final trumpet.

Bible says:

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1 Cor. 15:52)

This passage tells us that the rapture so named by Protestants coincides with a fact called the last trump, ie the last trumpet, implying that after that there will be no other trumpets.

But pre-tribulationists (Pentecostals and recent sects) say that there will be more trumpets, after that last trumpet, after literal seven years according to them, when Jesus comes again.

Referring to the 2nd Coming The Bible tells us:

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” (Matthew 24:29-31)

And other passages that tell us that at the Second Coming of Christ will sound the trumpet, as Revelation 11:15.

Pretribulationists err in saying that there will be more trumpets after pre-tribulation rapture.

SIXTH ERROR:

Pentecostal Protestants say their rapture will occur before the great tribulation, but the Bible tells us that Christ will not come until the apostasy comes and the Antichrist is revealed.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4:

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together unto Him,

2 that ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as if from us that the Day of Christ is at hand.

3 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way. For that day JESUS WILL NOT COME unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction (the Antichrist).

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Therefore, Jesus will not come unless the Antichrist is manifested and the apostasy comes. That is, during or after the tribulation, but not before.

The false doctrine of "pre-tribulation rapture" will not happen, Protestants make from an event, two different events, if there will be a rapture will be together with the Second Coming of Christ, after the great tribulation and the manifestation of the antichrist.

SEVENTH ERROR: Believing that the rapture will happen 7 years before the second coming of Christ.

The Bible tells us that during the harvest that will happen at the end of the world, the tares will be separated from the wheat at the same time, the tares will be thrown into the fire and wheat will be put in the barn (taken to heaven).
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. (In Matthew 24 is said the angels will gather the good ones to be taken and the wicked ones to be left, this refers that the wicked will go to hell and the good ones will be taken to Heaven, it will be on the day of the harvest)

Later Bible says:
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Conclusion:

During the harvest that will happen at the end of the world, the tares will be separated from the wheat at the same time, the tares will be thrown into the fire and wheat will be put in the barn (taken to heaven).

Nowhere is it said that the wheat will be gathered seven years before, for Jesus himself said:
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
The parable of the tares and wheat made on the ground that false Pentecostal doctrine of a pre-trib rapture or that the good ones will go to heaven seven years before the second coming of Christ.

It must be said that Pentecostals (dispensationalists) are the only ones who know the hour and the day that will be the second coming of Christ, they all tell me that it will happen 7 years after their pre-tribulational rapture.

EIGTH ERROR:

Pretribulationists (ie, Pentecostals) cite Matthew 24:27 refers to the 2nd Coming of Christ and 1 Thessalonians 4:15 refers to the rapture but both texts use the same word to show the 2nd Coming of Lord, the word PAROUSIA.

In both texts is being talked about of the same Coming, no to distinct comings.

What happens is that no Protestant examines the Greek texts. Read them and search the Greek word Parousia here:

http://biblehub.com/text/1_thessalonians/4-15.htm

http://biblehub.com/text/matthew/24-27.htm

“For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord: that we who are alive and remain unto the coming (Parousia) of the Lord, shall not precede those who are asleep.” (1 Thes 4:15)

" For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming (Parousia) of the Son of man be." (Matthew 24:27)

If there will be a rapture will be post-tribulational, though we as Catholic Christians know the rapture as Second Coming or Parousia, the resurrection of the dead and the Last Judgment (the good will be taken (raptured) to heaven and the wicked to hell).

In the rapture of Protestants there will be also resurrection of the dead, Second Coming and final judgment (although of the final judgment are opposed because they hate to read Matthew 25: 31-33)

Most of the times that the Bible speaks of the "Coming" of Christ, the Greek word: "Parousia" is used.

what they do not know is that they should call to their rapture "Parousia" and to the Second Coming "Parousia" too, what they only know is that the Parousia only refers to the 2nd Coming of Christ, because nobody has told them that in Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4:15 (which used to demonstrate the rapture) also used the Greek word: Parousia.

Everything is too sad, they have made the Parousia an endless number of comings, when the Bible speaks of only one coming. We Christians believe in the resurrection of the dead, ... that Jesus Christ will come again in glory (Second Coming), to judge the living and the dead (final judgment) and his kingdom will have no end.

Other texts that Pentecostals mention referring to the rapture, when in fact refer to the Second Coming of Christ are:

Find the word Parousia in these passages:

http://biblehub.com/text/matthew/24-37.htm

http://biblehub.com/text/matthew/24-39.htm

Matthew 24:
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming (PAROUSIA) of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming (PAROUSIA) of the Son of man be.

The Bible says that the Parousia is the same as the rapture, so named for the Pentecostals, if we read Matthew 24: 37-39 the Coming of Christ will be as is said, no one knows the day or the hour, he will come suddenly, etc, but anyway, no Protestant investigates, just talk and talk and do not even revise the texts. Parousia = the 2nd Coming of Christ. In the Bible only it speaks of a Parousia, not two Parousias, as claimed by pretribulationists and mid-Tribulationists.

NINETH ERROR: Denying that the rapture is a coming.

According to the scheme Protestant of the rapture, besides the First Coming, which was in the Incarnation, still missing two comings of Christ: one to take his people in the Rapture (Second Coming) and another coming at the end of time (Third Coming). But Christ only revealed that there would be a Second Coming at the end of the world.

Although Protestants say their rapture is not a Coming, are the following verses that according to them talk about their rapture where the greek word used is "Parousia" :

“For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord: that we who are alive and remain unto the coming (Parousia) of the Lord, shall not precede those who are asleep.” (1 Thes 4:15)

Matthew 24: 37-41 tells us:

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the Coming (Parousia) of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the Coming (Parousia) of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Pentecostals believe that this passage refers to the rapture, when in fact it refers to the Parousia.

See the original texts in Greek where the word Parousia is used:

http://biblehub.com/text/matthew/24-37.htm

http://biblehub.com/text/matthew/24-39.htm

The text refers to the same Coming of the son of man, not to distinct comings. Do pentecostal protestants believe in two Parousias?

The true interpretation of this passage refers to the Parousia (2nd Coming) and the Final Judgment, where just and the unjust will rise, some to everlasting life and some to eternal damnation.

“the one shall be taken, and the other left” It refers to the separation of the sheep and the goats. Therefore, it also speaks of Judgment.

When it says that one will be left and another will be taken does not mean that they will be carried off to the air, but one will be taken to the glory of God, and the one is left does not mean it will stay on earth, but he will go to hell.

The Church teaches than in Christ's Second Coming (Parousia), Jesus will come in glory to judge the living and the dead (Final Judgement) and his kingdom will have no end.

TENTH ERROR:

On the two resurrections of which the Bible speaks

An interpretation of the New Testament is the understanding that there will be two resurrections. Revelation tells us:

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” (Rev 20:6)

“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished” (Rev 20:5)

Despite this, there are various interpretations, according to the post-tribulational position there will be two physical resurrections, separated by a literal thousand years (one in the second Coming together with the Rapture, another finished the literal 1,000 years)

According to pre-tribulationists (Pentecostals and recent sects) there will be three physical resurrections (one in the Rapture at the beginning of the tribulation, the other in the Second Coming at the end of the tribulation, the last one when the literal 1,000 years finish).

Amillennialists (Catholic and Old Protestant churches) we see that Revelation 20: 5-6. has evidence that there are only two resurrections, (the first resurrection would be in a spiritual sense, according to Paul and John as participation at this time, in the resurrection of Christ by faith and baptism, according to Colossians 2:12 and Colossians 3: 1, as occurring within the millennium interpreted as an indefinite period between the foundation of the Church and the Second Coming of Christ, the second resurrection would be the general resurrection that would occur at the time of Jesus' return)

Blessed are those who are part of the first resurrection, that is, those who have been baptized and are part of the Church, because reign with Jesus in heaven in this thousand-year period understood as an indefinite period between the founding of the Church and the Second Coming.

Amillennialists only we believe there will be a physical resurrection (second resurrection) and a spiritual resurrection (the first resurrection). The first resurrection is as the Scriptures tell us:

“Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are RISEN WITH HIM through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.” (Colossians 2:12)

“If ye then be RISEN WITH CHRIST, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” (Colossians 3:1)

The second resurrection is as the Scriptures tell us:

“and the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished” It refers to the dead in body, which will rise, some to everlasting life, others to eternal damnation.

Protestant sects and Pentecostal evangelicals believe there will be three resurrections, the three of them will be physical according to their doctrine, the first is of the righteous at the rapture before the tribulation, the second will be to the righteous who died during the tribulation, after seven literal years; and the third will be the resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous who died under the reign of a literal thousand years as well as the resurrection of the unjust of all time.

I doubt that very few Pentecostals know their own doctrine, well ... it is the latest sect with just a century of life, which is destroying the world to preach false doctrines as giving 10% of your income every month, the pre-tribulational rapture and fundamentalism or hatred towards the true Church of Christ.

Pentecostals should read more about the founder of their doctrine, John Nelson Darby. The creator and inventor of the rapture before the tribulation as the inventor of the dispensationalist doctrine (dispensationalism), doctrine that every Pentecostal church follows.

To learn more about the interpretation of Revelation read the "City of God" Book XX of St. Augustine.

Conclusion:

Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead, not only to the dead.

The resurrection of the dead, "of the righteous and the unrighteous" (Acts 24:15), will precede the Last Judgment.

-John 5:28-29

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the RESURRECTION of life; and they that have done evil, unto the RESURRECTION of damnation.

-Matthew 25:31-46

31 When the Son of man shall COME in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

All the times that the Bible speaks of the coming of Christ all refer to the same and unique coming of Christ that has not yet occurred.

Catholic Christians believe that Jesus Christ will return for the second time to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

Those who believe that the supposed rapture will occur before the Great Tribulation of Antichrist think that only bad people will suffer this time of persecution. If this were true, then the Antichrist would not have someone to pursue because all the faithful would be with Christ out of this world!

As I said the Bible tells us that Christ will not come until the apostasy comes first and the Antichrist is manifested: Read again 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4:

Do you think that if an alleged rapture of the good ones occurred before the Great Tribulation, the Antichrist would have anyone to pursue?

For all this, the Church condemns the severity of this doctrinal error manifested by Protestant Christians and some false prophets.

12) Angelica Zambrano, in her second testimony, denies the existence of Purgatory.

“Sometimes nuns and priests say that they will pray to have God release souls from Purgatory. But I tell you the truth, whether you believe me or not. There is NO such place as Purgatory. Purgatory was invented by men, it was invented by the Popes.”

Does Purgatory exist or not? with biblical quotes.

Protestants say that purgatory does not exist.

By the fact that the Bible does not contain the word "purgatory" we can not conclude that it does not exist. In fact, the Bible does not have either the word "Trinity" and there is the dogma of the Holy Trinity, recognized by most of the separated brethren.

1. - Jesus said:

“And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.” (Matthew 12, 32)

This means that in the world to come there are sins that are forgiven and others that are not.

These sins that are forgiven in the world to come, where are forgiven? Maybe in hell? It can not be, because in hell there is no redemption. Maybe in heaven? neither can it be, because "in no wise enter into it anything that defileth" (Rev. 21.27). Then it has to be something in the world to come where certain sins are forgiven, and this is in Purgatory, with the exception of the sins commited against the Holy Spirit.

2. - The purification in the world to come.

“If his work is burned up, he will suffer the loss. However, he will be saved, though it will be like going through a fire.” (1 Cor 3, 15).

Here we talk about a worker of the Gospel who does not put all the effort in his apostolic activity. For this reason, his work is spoiled, although he is saved purifying himself in the world to come by means of suffering.

Jesus said:

“Make peace quickly with your opponent while you are on the way to court with him. Otherwise, he will hand you over to the judge. Then the judge will hand you over to an officer, who will throw you into prison. I can guarantee this truth: You will never get out until you pay every penny of your fine.” (Matt 5,25-26; Luke 19,25).

Jesus speaks of a prison in which yes you can leave when someone has paid his debt. Certainly is not hell because no one can get out of there. The prison must be purgatory.

3. - Praying for the faithful departed.

In the Catholic Bible there is a book called 2 Maccabees, since in the Protestant Bible does not exist, because Martin Luther removed this book along with other six books of Sacred Scriptures, because these were not suitable to his interests.

"Therefore [Judas Maccabeus] made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin." (2 Macc 12, 45)

With this, the Holy Bible proves that in the world to come some are released from their sins.

In the Old Testament the sacrifice was the most important act of worship, now it is the Lord's Supper or the Mass. That is why during the Mass we pray for the faithful departed.

4. - "Prayer for the Dead" by Paul in the New Testament:

We have the case of Paul who asks God for Onesiphorus, now deceased. First Paul asks in favor of his family and then in favor of him, which means that he was already dead.

"May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain, but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me (the Lord grant to him to find the Lord's mercy on that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well." (2 Timothy 1:16-18)

5 -. Why Jesus said to the Good Thief: "Today you will be with me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43) and did not say, "Today you will be with me in Purgatory"?

Jesus has the power to do anything he wants, without asking anyone's permission.

Anyway, as we have seen, purgatory is not a special place but a purification that is achieved through suffering. Therefore, the same suffering that the good thief had before he died could have been sufficient to purify it. Otherwise, a moment of suffering had been enough after death to achieve the complete purification and so being with Jesus that same day in Paradise.

The fathers of the Church already spoke of purgatory before the year 300:

The Acts of Paul and Thecla

"And after the exhibition, Tryphaena again received her [Thecla]. For her daughter Falconilla had died, and said to her in a dream: 'Mother, you shall have this stranger Thecla in my place, in order that she may pray concerning me, and that I may be transferred to the place of the righteous'." (Acts of Paul and Thecla [c. AD 160] or ANF VIII:490)

Abercius

"The citizen of a prominent city, I erected this while I lived, that I might have a resting place for my body. Abercius is my name, a disciple of the chaste Shepherd who feeds his sheep on the mountains and in the fields, who has great eyes surveying everywhere, who taught me the faithful writings of life. Standing by, I, Abercius, ordered this to be inscribed: Truly, I was in my seventy-second year. May everyone who is in accord with this and who understands it pray for Abercius." (Epitaph of Abercius [c. AD 190])

The Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicity

"That very night, this was shown to me in a vision: I [Perpetua] saw Dinocrates going out from a gloomy place, where also there were several others, and he was parched and very thirsty, with a filthy countenance and pallid color, and the wound on his face which he had when he died. This Dinocrates had been my brother after the flesh, seven years of age, who died miserably with disease....For him I had made my prayer, and between him and me there was a large interval, so that neither of us could approach to the other....and [I] knew that my brother was in suffering. But I trusted that my prayer would bring help to his suffering; and I prayed for him every day until we passed over into the prison of the camp, for we were to fight in the camp-show. Then....I made my prayer for my brother day and night, groaning and weeping that he might be granted to me. Then, on the day on which we remained in fetters, this was shown to me: I saw that the place which I had formerly observed to be in gloom was now bright; and Dinocrates, with a clean body well clad, was finding refreshment....[And] he went away from the water to play joyously, after the manner of children, and I awoke. Then I understood that he was translated from the place of punishment." (The Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicity 2:3:4 [c. AD 202] or ANF III:701-702)

Origen of Alexandria

"For if on the foundation of Christ you have built not only gold and silver and precious stones [1 Corinthians 3]; but also wood and hay and stubble, what do you expect when the soul shall be separated from the body? Would you enter into heaven with your wood and hay and stubble and thus defile the kingdom of God; or on account of these hindrances would you remain without and receive no reward for your gold and silver and precious stones; Neither is this just. It remains then that you be committed to the fire which will burn the light materials; for our God to those who can comprehend heavenly things is called a cleansing fire. But this fire consumes not the creature, but what the creature has himself built, wood, and hay and stubble. It is manifest that the fire destroys the wood of our transgressions and then returns to us the reward of our great works." (Homilies on Jeremias [c. AD 244] or Migne PG 13:445,448)

St. Clement of Alexandria

"Accordingly the believer, through great discipline, divesting himself of the passions, passes to the mansion which is better than the former one, viz., to the greatest torment, taking with him the characteristic of repentance from the sins he has committed after baptism. He is tortured then still more -- not yet or not quite attaining what he sees others to have acquired. Besides, he is also ashamed of his transgressions. The greatest torments, indeed, are assigned to the believer. For God's righteousness is good, and His goodness is righteous. And though the punishments cease in the course of the completion of the expiation and purification of each one, yet those have very great and permanent grief who are found worthy of the other fold, on account of not being along with those that have been glorified through righteousness." (Stromata 6:14 [c. post AD 202] or ANF II:504)

Tertullian of Carthage

"We offer sacrifices for the dead on their birthday anniversaries [the date of death or their birth into eternal life]." (The Crown 3:3 [c. AD 211] or ANF III:94)

"A woman, after the death of her husband....prays for his soul and asks that he may, while waiting, find rest; and that he may share in the first resurrection. And each year, on the anniversary of his death, she offers the sacrifice." (Monogamy 10:1:2 [c. AD 216] or ANF III:66-67)

St. Cyprian of Carthage

"The strength of the truly believing remains unshaken; and with those who fear and love God with their whole heart, their integrity continues steady and strong. For to adulterers even a time of repentance is granted by us, and peace [or reconciliation] is given. Yet virginity is not therefore deficient in the Church, nor does the glorious design of continence languish through the sins of others. The Church, crowned with so many virgins, flourishes; and chastity and modesty preserve the tenor of their glory. Nor is the vigor of continence broken down because repentance and pardon are facilitated to the adulterer. It is one thing to stand for pardon, another thing to attain to glory; it is one thing, when cast into prison, not to go out thence until one has paid the uttermost farthing; another thing at once to receive the wages of faith and courage. It is one thing, tortured by long suffering for sins, to be cleansed and long purged by fire; another to have purged all sins by suffering. It is one thing, in fine, to be in suspense till the sentence of God at the day of judgment; another to be at once crowned by the Lord" (Letters 51[55]:20 [c. AD 253] or ANF V:332)

Apostolic Constitutions

"Let us pray for our brethren that are at rest in Christ, that God, the lover of mankind, who has received his soul, may forgive him every sin, voluntary and involuntary, and may be merciful and gracious to him, and give him his lot in the land of the pious that are sent into the bosom of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, with all those that have pleased Him and done His will from the beginning of the world, whence all sorrow, grief, and lamentation are banished." (Apostolic Constitutions 8:4,41 [c. third Century] or ANF VII:497)

St. Lactantius

"But also, when God will judge the just, it is likewise in fire that he will try them. At that time, they whose sins are uppermost, either because of their gravity or their number, will be drawn together by the fire and will be burned. Those, however, who have been imbued with full justice and maturity of virtue, will not feel that fire; for they have something of God in them which will repel and turn back the strength of the flame." (Divine Institutes 7:21:6 [c. AD 307] or ANF VII:217)

St. Cyril of Jerusalem

"Then we make mention also of those who have already fallen asleep: first, the patriarchs, prophets, Apostles, and martyrs, that through their prayers and supplications God would receive our petition; next, we make mention also of the holy fathers and bishops who have already fallen asleep, and, to put it simply, of all among us who have already fallen asleep; for we believe that it will be of very great benefit to the souls of those for whom the petition is carried up, while this holy and most solemn sacrifice is laid out."

"For I know that there are many who are saying this: 'If a soul departs from this world with sins, what does it profit it to be remembered in the prayer?'...[we] grant a remission of their penalties...we too offer prayers to Him for those who have fallen asleep though they be sinners. We do not plait a crown, but offer up Christ who has been sacrificed for our sins; and we thereby propitiate the benevolent God for them as well as for ourselves." (23 [Mystagogic 5], 8, 9, 10 [c. 350 AD] or NPNF2 VII:154-155)

St. Basil the Great

"I think that the noble athletes of God,who have wrestled all their lives with the invisble enemies,after they have escaped all of their persecutions and have come to the end of life, are examined by the prince of this world; and if they are found to have any wounds from their wrestling, any stains or effects of sin,they are detained. If, however they are found unwounded and without stain,they are, as unconquered,brought by Christ into their rest." (Homilies on the Psalms 7:2 [c. ante AD 370])

St. Ephraem of Syria

"Lay me not with sweet spices: for this honour avails me not; Nor yet incense and perfumes: for the honour benefits me not. Burn sweet spices in the Holy Place: and me, even me, conduct to the grave with prayer. Give ye incense to God: and over me send up hymns. Instead of perfumes of spices: in prayer make remembrance of me." (His Testament [c. ante AD 373] or NPNF2 XIII:135)

St. Epiphanius of Salamis

"Useful too is the prayer fashioned on their behalf [of the deceased], even if it does not force back the whole of guilty charges laid to them. And it is useful also, because in this world we often stumble either voluntarily or involuntarily, and thus it is a reminder to do better." (Panarion 75:8 or Medicine Chest Against All Heresies [c. AD 375])

St. Gregory of Nyssa

"If a man distinguish in himself what is peculiarly human from that which is irrational, and if he be on the watch for a life of greater urbanity for himself, in this present life he will purify himself of any evil contracted, overcoming the irrational by reason. If he has inclined to the irrational pressure of the passions, using for the passions the cooperating hide of things irrational, he may afterward in a quite different manner be very much interested in what is better, when, after his departure out of the body, he gains knowledge of the difference between virtue and vice and finds that he is not able to partake of divinity until he has been purged of the filthy contagion in his soul by the purifying fire." (Sermon on the Dead [c. AD 382] or Migne PG 13:445,448)

St. John Chrysostom

"Let us help and commemorate them. If Job's sons were purified by their father's sacrifice [Job 1:5], why would we doubt that our offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them." (Homilies on First Corinthians 41:5 [c. AD 392])

"Weep for those who die in their wealth and who with all their wealth prepared no consolation for their own souls, who had the power to wash away their sins and did not will to do it. Let us weep for them, let us assist them to the extent of our ability, let us think of some assistance for them, small as it may be, yet let us somehow assist them. But how, and in what way? By praying for them and by entreating others to pray for them, by constantly giving alms to the poor on their behalf. Not in vain was it decreed by the apostles that in the awesome mysteries remembrance should be made of the departed. They knew that here there was much gain for them, much benefit. When the entire people stands with hands uplifted, a priestly assembly, and that awesome sacrificial Victim is laid out, how, when we are calling upon God, should we not succeed in their defense? But this is done for those who have departed in the faith, while even the catechumens are not reckoned as worthy of this consolation, but are deprived of every means of assistance except one. And what is that? We may give alms to the poor on their behalf." (Homilies on Philippians 3:4-10 [c. AD 402] or NPNF1 XIII:197)

St. Ambrose of Milan

"Give, oh Lord, rest to Thy servant Theodosius, that rest Thou hast prepared for Thy saints....I love him, therefore will I follow him to the land of the living; I will not leave him till by my prayers and lamentations he shall be admitted unto the holy mount of the Lord, to which his deserts call him." (De Obit Theodosii [c. AD 395] or Migne PL 16:1397)

St. Augustine of Hippo

"The man who has cultivated that remote land [Gen 3:17] and who has gotten his bread by his very great labor is able to suffer this labor to the end of this life. After this life, however, it is not necessary that he suffer. But the man who perhaps has not cultivated the land and has allowed it to be overrun with brambles has in this life the curse of his land on all his works, and after this life he will have either purgatorial fire or eternal punishment [habebit vel ignem purgationis vel poenam aeternam]." (De Genesi contra Manich 2:20:30 [c. AD 389])

"'Lord, rebuke me not in Your indignation, nor correct me in Your anger' [Psalm 38:1]...In this life may You cleanse me and make me such that I have no need of the corrective fire, which is for those who are saved, but as if by fire...for it is said: 'He shall be saved, but as if by fire' [1 Cor 3:15]. And because it is said that he shall be saved, little is thought of that fire. Yet plainly, though we be saved by fire, that fire will be more severe than anything a man can suffer in this life." (Explanations of the Psalms 37:3 [c. AD 392])

"There is an ecclesiastical discipline, as the faithful know, when the names of the martyrs are read aloud in that place at the altar of God, where prayer is not offered for them. Prayer, however, is offered for other dead who are remembered. It is wrong to pray for a martyr, to whose prayers we ought ourselves be commended." (Sermons 159:1 [c. AD 411])

"But by the prayers of the holy Church, and by the salvific sacrifice, and by the alms which are given for their spirits, there is no doubt that the dead are aided, that the Lord might deal more mercifully with them than their sins would deserve. The whole Church observes this practice which was handed down by the Fathers: that it prays for those who have died in the communion of the Body and Blood of Christ, when they are commemorated in their own place in the sacrifice itself; and the sacrifice is offered also in memory of them, on their behalf. If, then, works of mercy are celebrated for the sake of those who are being remembered, who would hesitate to recommend them, on whose behalf prayers to God are not offered in vain? It is not at all to be doubted that such prayers are of profit to the dead; but for such of them as lived before their death in a way that makes it possible for these things to be useful to them after death." (Sermons 172:2)

"Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter; but all of them before that last and strictest judgment [ante iudicium illud severissimum novissimumque]. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment." (The City of God 21:13 [c. AD 413-426])

"The prayer either of the Church herself or of pious individuals is heard on behalf of certain of the dead; but it is heard for those who, having been regenerated in Christ, did not for the rest of their life in the body do such wickedness that they might be judged unworthy of such mercy, nor who yet lived so well that it might be supposed they have no need of such mercy." (The City of God 21:24:2)

"That there should be some such fire even after this life is not incredible, and it can be inquired into and either be discovered or left hidden whether some of the faithful may be saved, some more slowly and some more quickly in the greater or lesser degree in which they loved the good things that perish -- through a certain purgatorial fire [per ignem quemdam purgatorium]." (Enchiridion of Faith, Hope, and Love 18:69 [c. AD 421] or NPNF1 III:260)

"The time which interposes between the death of a man and the final resurrection holds souls in hidden retreats, accordingly as each is deserving of rest or of hardship, in view of what it merited when it was living in the flesh. Nor can it be denied that the souls of the dead find relief through the piety of their friends and relatives who are still alive, when the Sacrifice of the Mediator [Mass] is offered for them, or when alms are given in the Church. But these things are of profit to those who, when they were alive, merited that they might afterward be able to be helped by these things. There is a certain manner of living, neither so good that there is no need of these helps after death, nor yet so wicked that these helps are of no avail after death." (Enchiridion of Faith, Hope,and Love 29:109)

13) In her second testimony Angelica Zambrano claims that the person who does not tithe will end up in Hell by robbing God.

“When you return to Earth, tell all those people who don't want to give their tithes and offerings, not to steal from the Lord, otherwise, they’ll wind up in Hell.”

Protestants say a Christian who does not tithe 10% of everything he earns are robbing God, and many others say that people who do not tithe will go to Hell.

The tithe consisted according to the Law of Moses in giving 10% of your products in animals or food once a year, which were taken to the storehouse. The tithe, that belongs to the old covenant, was abolished by the New Covenant, and the tithe was given once a year, not every month, fortnight or week (Deuteronomy 14: 22-29)

Tithing is an ancient law of the Old Testament. In the New Testament does not exist this law.

“These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL on Mount Sinai.” (Lev. 27,34)

“Remember the teachings of my servant Moses, the rules and regulations that I gave to him at Horeb for all Israel.” (Mal. 4,4)

According to this biblical quote, tithing is a commandment for the people of Israel. Christians do not belong to the Old Testament but the New Testament.

At the same time, God promised to establish a new Covenant:

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah” (Jer. 31,31).

“Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.” (Lk. 22,20).

As Christians we are not obliged to pay the tithe, since it was a mandate for the people of Israel.

Tithes were for God, but were intended to support Levites, strangers, orphans and widows.

The following biblical text confirms this:

“When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year—the year of tithing—and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled, then you shall say before the Lord your God: ‘I have removed the holy tithe from my house, and also have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow” (Deut 26,12-13).

The tithe was abolished by the new covenant:

Hebrews 8:13 New International Version (NIV)

13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

Hebrews 7:18-19 New International Version (NIV)

18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

Hebrews 8:7-8 New International Version (NIV)

7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. 8 But God found fault with the people and said:

“The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.

Galatians 3:10 New International Version (NIV)

10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

Galatians 3:13 New International Version (NIV)

13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”

The tithe belongs to the law of Moses which is the old covenant, weak, useless, imperfect, under a curse that has to disappear, and that has been canceled with the Lord's death on the cross and the arrival of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost it was a covenant made with the people of Israel, not with us, the Christians.

In any case, if someone wants to give it because it is in the Law of Moses, he should not forget that the Apostle James says that the Law was an all or nothing; a person was not allowed to choose what he liked about it - as if it were a religious menu - and leave aside what he did not like it.

James 2:10 New International Version (NIV)

10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

If a Christian wishes to follow the Law, he must be circumcised, keep the Sabbath, sacrifice animals, not eat blood, do not eat fish without scales, pork or shellfish, stone those who break the Law, celebrate all Jewish holidays, etc. Or all or nothing.

You can not fulfill one thing and leave another because you become guilty of everything else.

Matthew 5:18 New International Version (NIV)

18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Galatians 5:2-4 New International Version (NIV)

2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

Why do you say no to circumcision and yes to tithing?

Galatians 5:12 New International Version (NIV)

12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!

Paul is so upset with those who have wanted to mix the law of Moses with the new covenant, which advises them that instead of cutting the foreskin only, mutilate.

Asking believers to bring their tithes into the storehouse, that God is going to open the windows of heaven, the much vaunted passage of Malachi 3:10 are mixing the old covenant with the new covenant annulling the blood of Jesus.

By the way, Malachi 3: 8-10 refers to the sons of Jacob, not the Christians, in fact the passage starts in Malachi 3:6:

"Because of this, you sons of Jacob said: What have we stolen from you?"

We Christians are not sons of Jacob, besides the tithe was taken to the storehouse which is a barn and not to the pockets of the pastors.

Galatians 2:21 New International Version (NIV)

21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”

Did Christ die uselessly? Does fulfilling the Law of Moses make you saved?

CHRISTIANS LIVE UNDER THE GRACE, NOT UNDER THE LAW

So, for what served the old covenant?

Galatians 3:19 New International Version (NIV)

19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come.

Romans 3:20 New International Version (NIV)

20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

Romans 10:4 New International Version (NIV)

4 Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

Galatians 3:23 New International Version (NIV)

23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.

Ephesians 2:15 New International Version (NIV)

“by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace”

When Jesus tells the scribes and the Pharisees in Matthew 23:23 that should continue keeping the Law and tithing, he is talking to Jews who were still under the Law of Moses not to us who are Gentiles.

Galatians 4:4-5 New International Version (NIV)

“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.”

Who taught you that a Christian has to tithe, circumcised or keep the Sabbath? Paul tells the Galatians foolish twice and the apostle Peter hypocrite for wanting to return to the law of Moses.

Galatians 3:1-3 New International Version (NIV)

“You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?”

The influence of the Law had been so strong that even the Apostle Peter was confused and had let himself be influenced by the group of James who insisted on keeping the Law of Moses, Paul calls them fanatics of the circumcision.

Galatians 2:11-15 New International Version (NIV)

11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.

ONLY JESUS SAVES, NOT THE TITHE:

John 3:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Hebrews 7:26 New International Version (NIV)

26 Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

Hebrews 7:12 New International Version (NIV)

12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also

Hebrews 7:22-25 King James Version (KJV)

22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

1 Peter 1:18-19 New International Version (NIV)

18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as SILVER or GOLD that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, a lamb without blemish or defect.

Galatians 1:8 New International Version (NIV)

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

The law of Moses ended, and with it ended the tithe, the Levites, animal sacrifices, killing adulteresses by stoning, set aside menstruating women, do not eat pork, the circumcision, etc.

Philippians 3:5-9 New International Version (NIV)

5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless. 7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ.

The apostle Paul says that now that we have Jesus, the Law and the tithe are rubbish for him and that he lost everything: this is for those who are still seeking material blessings in the new covenant. True wealth and abundance is in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 10:13 New International Version (NIV)

13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

John 7:37 New International Version (NIV)

37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.

John 10:10 New International Version (NIV)

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

The priesthood of Aaron had the tribe of Levi that charged the tithe, killed the animals for the sacrifice for the sins of the people and also stoned those who did not comply with the Law of Moses. The Melchizedek priesthood has salvation and the Holy Spirit as a guarantee because the Lord paid on the cross for the sins of the world, it means that animal sacrifices and everything else ended.

The current Jews no longer tithe

The tithe was intended for the sustenance of the Levites, of the tribe of Levi, who for dedicating themselves to the service of God had not received their parcel in the distribution of the land.

The Jews do not pay tithing, and the explanation they give is very logical and easy to understand: "The tithe, which belongs to the Law and which we strive to fulfill, commands the Israelites to tithe for the maintenance of the Temple of Jerusalem and the Levitical priests, and today there is no temple or Levitical priests, so we could not ask for a tithe in the synagogues, where there is also no priest of the tribe of Levi, but simply a rabbi."

The favorite passage of the unscrupulous pastors who have imposed the tithe in their churches is undoubtedly Malachi 3: 8-10 "Will a man rob God, for you have stolen from me, and you have said," What have we stolen from you? "In your tithes and offerings, you are cursed with a curse, because you, the entire nation, have stolen me. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse and have food in my house."

The passage actually begins in Malachi 3: 6 where God directs the message to the sons of Jacob

Malachi 3: 6 "Therefore, you sons of Jacob… you said, What have we stolen from you?"

Believers are children of God, the Bible never calls us "sons of Jacob".

The pentecostal pastors knavishly introduce him into the church that is under Grace and not under the Law of Moses and insult and intimidate Christians, to take advantage of something that does not belong to them, because the pastors are not Levitical priests nor ordered according to the rigor of the Law, nor do they live in the temple of Jerusalem. Therefore, if someone is robbing God, they are the pastors and not the congregation.

God disposed in his earthly people, Israel, that the tribe of Levi could not have property, for this reason he ordered the rest of the nation to support them with 10% of their income, so that the Levitical priests could dedicate themselves to the service of the tabernacle. A job that they had to carry out from the age of 25, and that they had to retire by the age of 50 (Nm.8: 24-25).

Jesus rebukes the Pharisees

Luke 11:42

42 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God.”

The Lord is rebuking the Pharisees (who are Israelites and not Christians), to reproach their hypocrisy for worrying about the tithe, and not for God's justice and love.

This sounds very familiar to us, right? In the parallel passage of Matthew he says to these hypocritical Pharisees, representatives of the Law. And it is curious to see many religious leaders of our day, how they strive to identify with these hypocrites in order to collect the tithe.

Today there is no temple in Israel, there are no Levitical priests. All the records of the genealogical archives that were kept in the temple were destroyed in 70 AD. The Rabbis of today do not charge tithes because they, knowing the Law of Moses, know that only the Levites could do it, and if they lived in the temple of Jerusalem.

The Lord Jesus Christ himself never received the tithe, and it did not correspond to him, because he was not of the tribe of Levi, but of the tribe of Judah. Hebrews 7:14 " For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.”

The same could be said of all the churches mentioned in the New Testament, none of them received the tithe, because that is not for the church. Today we must offer up freely as each purposed in his heart.

2 Corinthians 9:7 New International Version (NIV)

7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 8:12-14 New International Version (NIV)

12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have. 13 Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. 14 At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality.

In the New Covenant that the Lord Jesus Christ made with the church, in the Grace, we are all priests (Rev.1: 6) "and you have made a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father" (1Peter 2: 9) "you are a lineage chosen, royal priesthood." It would be unbiblical for a man to claim the right to be a priest to collect tithes.

Unfortunately today the leaders of the churches that have moved away from the divine ordinances, have tied that human imposition of the tithe with strong chains of superstition and human greed for personal profit, contrary to the disposition of God.

Pastors who charge in their churches tithes are robbing God, for they never corresponded to them that benefit. The Lord commanded it for the Levites, because they were not allowed to own any property. And today those who live illegitimately from the tithe, are those who have the greatest and best properties.

OFFERINGS

Today one must give according to his possibilities for the sustenance of the Church:

2 Corinthians 8:12-14 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

12 with whatever contributions you have. Since you are willing to do this, remember that people are accepted if they give what they are able to give. God doesn’t ask for what they don’t have.13 I don’t mean that others should have relief while you have hardship. Rather, it’s a matter of striking a balance. 14 At the present time, your surplus fills their need so that their surplus may fill your need. In this way things balance out.

2 Corinthians 9:7 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

7 Each of you should give whatever you have decided. You shouldn’t be sorry that you gave or feel forced to give, since God loves a cheerful giver.

We know one who was not interested in the poor but in money, just like the pastors who love money today:

John 12: 5-6 New International Version (NIV)

5 "Why was not this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages. 6 He did not say this because I have cared about the poor but because he was a thief

The devil also has his message and it is that you seek your own good and not that of others:

2 Peter 2:1-3 New International Version (NIV)

“But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.”

1 Timothy 6:3-10 New International Version (NIV)

“If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, they are conceited and understand nothing. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”

14) She describes the souls in Hell being punished and tormented by the fallen angels.

“I saw this woman being tormented, she had worms that would eat her face off, and demons would plunge a type of spear into her body.”

This is a doctrinal error because Hell was created by God to punish the fallen angels. They are not in charge of Hell, nor in charge of punishing the souls in Hell. It is the Justice of God that punishes both damned souls and fallen angels in Hell.

Matthew 24:45-51

“The lord of that servant SHALL COME in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And SHALL CUT HIM ASUNDER, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

15) She describes that souls in Hell are repentant of their sins and cry out to God for forgiveness and mercy.

-The boy cried, "Lord have mercy of me, take me out of this place, I don't want to be here!"

-She would scream, "No, Lord, have mercy on me, forgive me, please, take me out of this place for one minute!"

Can damned souls in Hell repent of their sins?

This is a doctrinal error, because the souls in hell do not have the grace of God, so that they cannot repent of their sins.

The souls in hell are deprived of the grace of God and without it they can not ask God for forgiveness and mercy, let alone repent.

A damned soul doesn´t want to be forgiven because his will is anchored in evil and deprived of all good.

The souls of the wicked, after death, have a will adhered immutably to evil.

St. Thomas Aquinas writes about this in his book Summa contra Gentiles, Book IV, Chapter 93:

“In the same way, also, the souls which immediately after death are made miserable in punishment become unchangeable in their wills. Mortal sin deserves everlasting punishment. But there would be no everlasting punishment of the souls of the damned if they were able to change their will for a better will; it would be unjust, indeed, if from the moment of their having a good will their punishment would be everlasting. Therefore, the will of the damned soul cannot be changed to good.

There is more. The very disorder of the will is a kind of punishment and one of extreme affliction. The reason: So far as one has a disordered will he is displeased by whatever is done rightly, and the damned souls will be displeased because God’s will is fulfilled in all those who by sinning have sided against Him. Therefore, their disordered will shall never be taken away from them.

The change of a will, furthermore, from sin to good takes place only by the grace of God. But, just as the souls of the good are admitted to a perfect sharing in the divine goodness, so the souls of the damned are entirely excluded from grace. Therefore, they will not be able to change their will for the better.

Then again: just as the good when living in the flesh make God the end of all their works and desires, so also the wicked do with some improper end which turns them away from God. But the separated souls of the good will cleave unchangeably to the good they have set before themselves in this life; namely, to God. Therefore, the souls of the wicked will cleave unchangeably to the end which they themselves have chosen. Therefore, as the will of the good will not be able to become evil, so the will of the evil will not be able to become good.”

In this regard the Church Catechism tells us:

393 "There is no repentance for the angels after their fall, just as there is no repentance for men after death."

She excuses herself in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, but any parable must be taken literally since a parable is an allegory and it is symbolic.

How should we interpret the parable of the rich man? (Luke 16:19-31).

In fact, the Church has not pronounced about whether in this parable the rich man was truly in Hell or Purgatory.

According to some experts, the rich man was in purgatory and not in hell, since conversed with Abraham and was worried for his brothers, which would be impossible if he were in hell, where there is pure hatred.

Moreover, there is no private revelation of Hell of Catholic saints that shows a repentant soul of his sins crying out to God for forgiveness and mercy.

16) She describes the fallen angels as if they were free to get in and out of Hell leaving the Hell to tempt people on earth, and then return at will.

And I would see the demons running and exiting toward Earth and He told me. "They are going to Earth to bring and throw humanity into this place."

Jesus said, "Demons also hold meetings in this place." And I said, "Demons hold meetings?" Jesus said, "Yes, Daughter, they meet to plan, to plan what they will do to humanity. They hold daily secret meetings."

This is a doctrinal error because Hell is like a prison, where the inmates are being punished justly for their sins. The fallen angels and the damned souls are all prisoners being punished. Neither the fallen angels, nor the damned souls, are free to leave and return at will.

The Bible tells us:

Jude 1:6

^"And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."

God is in charge of Hell, not Satan. Therefore, the demons are subjected to the will of God, and can not do what they please in and out of Hell.

For those who think that demons are not being punished in Hell right now for the righteousness of God, it is written:

The demons suffer the torment of fire, even when, by Divine permission, they leave the confines of hell and roam about on earth to tempt humanity." -Catholic encyclopedia.

17) She portrays persons who die as being immediately dragged into Hell by fallen angels.

This is a doctrinal error because the Church teaches that everyone receives a particular judgment by God immediately after death. Then God sends the person's soul to Hell or to Heaven, or purgatory for after a while then go to heaven. (There are only two final states, heaven or hell. Purgatory is only a temporary state). The fallen angels are not in charge of sending persons to Hell, nor of taking them there. The justice of God sends persons to Hell, not the wicked fallen angels.

18) Angelica Zambrano testifies her testimony as true, using the name of Jesus, and in this way does not raise any doubt that her alleged vision of heaven and hell is real and not a lie.

“This testimony is not a lie; it's not a joke; it is not a story; it is not a dream”

“We have come to make a pact with you...You must shut up. You must not say anything of what you saw down there, because if you speak, we will kill you."

The second commandment forbids use the name of Jesus in vain, Angelica Zambrano uses the name of God to testify that her testimony is true.

What a way to consolidate her story and make it look like it's real. Only an unbeliever and ignorant is able to accept as true the testimony of Angelica Zambrano and all slander and defamation against the faith of the Church.

CONCLUSION:

In my humble and pious opinion the supposed revelation of Heaven and Hell to Angelica Zambrano can not be from Jesus Christ. The many serious doctrinal errors described above are more than sufficient to show that the alleged private revelation to Angelica Zambrano is false. She was not taken by Jesus to hell or to heaven, and Jesus would not present such serious doctrinal errors to her as if these were true.

Her statements about hell are based on their own imagination that want to take people away from the true gospel, teaching falsehoods about the true doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ.

ABOUT PRIVATE REVELATIONS:

This is what the Church says regarding private revelations.

67 Throughout the ages, there have been so-called "private" revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. It is not their role to improve or complete Christ's definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history.

Guided by the Magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ or his saints to the Church.

Christian faith cannot accept "revelations" that claim to surpass or correct the Revelation of which Christ is the fulfilment, as is the case in certain nonChristian religions and also in certain recent sects which base themselves on such "revelations". (It is the case of the false “private” revelations of Protestant Christians and some sects)

This means that in certain sects also speak of such revelations, but that the Church condemns because they are false and contradict the gospel.

CONCLUSION:

Heaven and hell are real, but not like some false prophets describe them.

-In Hell only exists hate to God, so souls do not love and not cry to God for forgiveness and mercy.

-The souls in hell are not punished by demons, but for the righteousness of God. It is God who punishes both souls and demons with the horrors of eternal fire.

-Satan does not rule hell, but God does. God has power in hell, and the devil is not allowed to come and go at will from Hell to tempt men, but he is subject to the will of God.

"The demons SUFFER the torment of fire, even when, by Divine permission, they LEAVE the confines of hell and roam about on earth to TEMPT humanity." -Catholic encyclopedia.

CHARACTERISTICS OF FALSE PROPHETS:

Most of what they say have some truth, to confuse and to lead the believer to error, to drag him to the sects or to hate God, the believer know not the true Jesus Christ, but a Christ who preach false prophets as true but it is not.

Satan uses truth to induce to the error and lies. Christianity is now living the most devastating crisis in its history because of the false prophets and their lies.

Many Protestants will say: False prophets have done many miracles!

Matthew 7:22-23

²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?

“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

FALSE PROPHETS CONDEMNED

Ezekiel 13:1-9

1.The word of the Lord came to me:

²“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, and say to those who prophesy from their own hearts: ‘Hear the word of the Lord!’

³Thus says the Lord God, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

⁴Your prophets have been like jackals among ruins, O Israel.

⁵You have not gone up into the breaches, or built up a wall for the house of Israel, that it might stand in battle in the day of the Lord.

⁶They have seen false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘Declares the Lord,’ when the Lord has not sent them, and yet they expect him to fulfill their word.

⁷Have you not seen a false vision and uttered a lying divination, whenever you have said, ‘Declares the Lord,’ although I have not spoken?”

⁸Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Because you have uttered falsehood and seen lying visions, therefore behold, I am against you, declares the Lord God.

⁹My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who give lying divinations. They shall not be in the council of my people, nor be enrolled in the register of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

There are many other false prophets which are Mary K Baxter, Bill Wiese, Choo Thomas, 7 Columbian Youths, Ricardo Cid, Jennifer Perez, Pastor Yong-Doo Kim, among others, who say they were taken to heaven and hell but manifest serious doctrinal errors against the faith of the Church.
