Was Jesus a Sinner? Rome Must Think So
Gross Catholic idolatry is on display as an art tour called “Vatican Splendors” is touring the USA, and is presently on exhibit in Cleveland, Ohio. This was reported in the May 30 Catholic Universe Bulletin, the newspaper of the Diocese of Cleveland, in an article titled, “Exhibit a Celebration of Art, Culture, Christianity, and History.”
The highlight of the exhibit is the “Mandylion of Edessa.” As the article explains:
“In the first century of the Common Era, during the time of Christ………..”
Whoa! Stop right here! Common Era? It looks like the Diocese of Cleveland has joined the pagans in refusing to use “AD” – Year of Our Lord – as a year designation, and is now using the politically correct (and Christ denying) “CE” – the Common Era designation.
But to continue:
“…During the time of Christ, there’s a legend that says King Abgar of Edessa in modern-day Turkey had an incurable sickness. Hearing of the miracles of Jesus, he wrote to him asking for his help. Jesus wrote back saying he could not come back to Edessa…But he promised that when he ascended to heaven, he would send a disciple to heal Abgar. Before he died Jesus pressed his face into a rectangular piece of cloth and after he died, did indeed send one of his disciples to Abgar with the cloth.”
“’The Mandylion of Edessa’ as the cloth is known today is believed to be the earliest image of Christ.”
The “Mandylion” on display is a third-fifth century copy of the “original,” which supposedly bounced around Europe until being lost in the French Revolution.
This is nuts!! The Second Commandment (which the Church of Rome does not recognize and tries to hide it within the First Commandment) says in Exodus 20:4:
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.”
To believe that Jesus made an image of Himself is to believe that He broke one of His own Commandments – and is therefore a sinner! Jesus said in John 8:46a: “Which of you convinceth Me of sin?” Evidently – the Catholic Church does, as well as all who believe Jesus made an image of Himself.
May the Spirit of God expose the wickedness of this exhibit and the Catholic Church! Please pray that God give Catholics the grace to confess Catholicism as sin, forsake Rome forever, and to receive Christ by faith ALONE for the full and free forgiveness of sins.
