The Roman Catholic Church Is Not the True Church of God

I am giving way to a response posted by a certain Kay for my article entitled “Are Other Christians Not True Churches?”.


Dear Kay,

I am very sorry to have grieved you as you expressed in your response. I appreciate your frankness because I am a frank person, too. I hate using candy-coated words to conceal what really is inside me.

When I express something or anything, it comes from my heart and it is the best of my knowledge and belief. I maybe wrong in my perceptions sometimes, but I always make it a point that whenever I teach other people, it is 100% biblical. It has been my attitude and practice not to ascribe or impute anything against anybody if I do not have sufficient evidences to prove it.

In the interest of truth and justice, at least, there must be two or three witnesses to be brought to testify to a given argument or dispute. The preceding verse requires witnesses.

It is not only normal, but also sane, to love your faith — your church. But it is also wise and sane to be sure that your church or your faith is the true church and faith based on Scriptural truths.

While I am discussing the truth in any given topic, I must tell you that not everything that I know can be injected on a particular topic. You said in your response that never did the Roman Catholic Church claim that there is no salvation outside the RCC. I hereunder copy what you said:

Dominus Iesus states that other churches (out of the Catholic Church) are not true churches, but merely ecclesiastical communities and therefore did not have the “means of salvation”.

If this does not mean that you are judging all churches outside of your presumed true church, is this a camouflaged hypocrisy? Logic dictates that where there are no means of salvation, there is no salvation; and that is precisely what is meant by RCC authorities. Here is something I am sure you do not know. This was included, in your book “Religion Doctrine and Practice” by Francis B. Casilly, page 355. (See image below)


You said that my post was wasted. I am sorry you judged it hastily. It would have been better if you asked me if I have further proof to substantiate what I have written. You also said that it is a topic irrelevant to the document at hand. But in searching for the truth, you have to consider present and previous claims and teachings made by the Roman Catholic Church. It is just like taking something out from the whole context of a book or a set of teachings and not taking it out of context.

In the fore cited verse, the Book of the Lord contains all the necessary elements of truths. They must be taken in context for the entire truth to be known. Here under, is a part of the question raised at the Second Vatican Council, and the corresponding response:


In the above cited Lumen Gentium 8 (I do not want to judge that this is spoken in hypocrisy), it states that: the church of Christ is present and operative in other churches or ecclesiastical communities not yet fully in communion with the Catholic Church…

Christ said:


How could you say that there is “no salvation outside the Catholic Church” and at the same time, teach, as doctrine, that in other churches not in communion with your church, the Church of Christ is present and operative? Is this a blatant hypocrisy, or a blatant lie?

True biblical love is not double-faced or double-minded.


We must not say that there is no salvation in other churches nor “they do not have the means of salvation” and at the same time appease them by saying that the Church of Christ is operative and present in them — the Holy Scriptures prohibits such hypocrisy.

I am not confusing you with the Iglesia ni Cristo of Felix Manalo (Church of Christ by Felix Manalo) although you have the same erroneous and unbiblical stand. You both judge those outside your church, which is against the Gospel. God is the only one capable of judging those outside the true Church of God. (See image below)


The history of your church proves that you have unfairly judged the ‘outsiders’. (See reference below)


Perhaps this cruelty is the result of your belief that there is no salvation outside your church.

This belief came to your church and that of Manalo’s church and to other churches founded by man, because of gross ignorance of the Scriptures.

Even those who have not heard the Gospel can be justified by God if they do the “things of the law” written in their hearts.


God’s justice and compassion can not be limited by man, nor by any church!

Just to give you some things to ponder (which I hope you will welcome), is it true that “This Church, constituted and organised in this world as a society, subsists in the Catholic Church, governed by the successor of Peter and the Bishops in communion with him [7] In number 8 of the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium ‘subsistence’ means this perduring, historical continuity and the permanence of all the elements instituted by Christ in the Catholic Church [8], in which the Church of Christ is concretely found on this earth.”

1. “Governed by the successor of Peter”

Was Peter the successor of Christ? Or Paul?


2. ‘subsistence’ means this perduring, historical continuity and the permanence of all the elements

Was there really continuity in the power and succession, as you claim? Here is a document to consider. For eleven years, your church (RCC) was governed by a very notorious pope. What happened to the continuity you are claiming? (See reference below)


I want you to note that this magazine came from inside the Vatican itself. That this pope is “one of the most notorious”, meaning, there were so many of them! Will it be alright if I say that the Roman Catholic Church is not the true Church of God?

May God bless and enlighten you.
