Why Catholics Are Not Christian

Posted on by

*Christians would never bow down to Mary or dead saints. We are expressly told to bow to only God. (Please don’t try to tell me that Catholics aren’t actually bowing to Mary when they pray to her. They are actually talking with the dead when they ask her or other dead saints to intercede.)

*Christians confess their sins to God and receive forgiveness from Him. Catholics get absolution from priests. Completely the opposite of going to God directly as afforded by the cross.

*Christians do not call pastors “Father”. Catholics call their priests “Father”. I can only imagine how that offends God.

*Christians do not participate in Ash Wednesday rituals. There is no mention in the Bible about that cultish practice.

*Christians do not believe that the communion emblems actually become the body and blood of Christ. All of the bread/cracker or juice/wine elements are bought (can you say “Walmart”?) not handed down from Heaven. Yet, the Catholic church and the denominations founded from it, believe that a priest must bless the emblems and personally feed it to the congregants. Christians believe that the emblems are symbolic and take Communion as memorial pieces to the price paid to give us direct access to God.

*Even the Christian Bible is different from the Catholic Bible.

*The Catholic cross still has Christ hanging on it while the Christian cross depicts Christ’s resurrection with an empty cross.

Let’s add to this. What other differences are there between Christianity and Catholicism?

Identity Proud!

Posted on by

I proudly identify as an American. I’m not ashamed of my country’s heritage. This nation was formed for God’s purpose of freedom from religious persecution. The pilgrims were a small group of Christians who settled on largely uninhabited land. Rewritten history is being sold to our children and causing them to be ashamed of their homeland.

There are over 2 billion acres of land in the United States of America and over 6 billion acres on the North American continent. When the pilgrims first settled here there were about 60,000 indigenous people. There were only about 100 pilgrims in the first settlers. I can do the math, if you can’t. So please stop believing that our Christian ancestors came over here and stole from the Indians. There is absolutely no reason that on 2 billion acres of land that they could not have peacefully coexisted. There are bad apples in every tribe and people group. The devil and spiritual forces of evil are real. Spiritual war is real. We cannot discount that many of the settlers and indigenous people were friendly and worked together to form a more perfect nation.

God chose for me to be an American. I choose to honor Him by having pride in His choice. He chose for me to be born a female. I honor His choice. He chose for me to be “white”. I honor His choice. He chose for me to be this age. I honor His choice. He chose who my parents and siblings would be. I honor His choice. He chose the number of children that would be born to me. I honor His choice.

God chose for Christian pilgrims to arrive in America. Will you honor His choice? God chose for this nation to be a place free from religious persecution. Will you honor His choice? God chose to accept leadership in forming the Constitution of the United States of America. Will you honor His choice?

I’m not god, nor are you … honor God’s choices! In God We Trust!

Cheaters’ Access

Posted on by

Nobody wants a cheater. Can we all agree on that?

If you’re resolutely unhappy in marriage, get a divorce. Don’t stay married while having a mistress on the side. And for those mistresses out there, know this if he will cheat with you, he will cheat on you. And please don’t quote Scripture that “God hates divorce” for your reasoning for all your garbage justifications. The real reason that you are staying with that bogus marriage is that you can’t afford to lose half of your material belongings or income. I get it that you want your children to have both parents in a stable home life. Please, kids can see through all the stuff sometimes better than you can. If you are unhappy, either resolve the problems effectively, or set yourself and your partner free in the most mutually agreeable terms. You have to live with yourself and truth for the rest of your life.

Why am I saying all this? Is it meant for you? I’m saying this to remind you that you are in a marriage-like relationship with God if you have sworn an oath of allegiance to Him. You don’t get to have your fake god on the side. You don’t get to pretend that you’re really a Christian while ignoring God. Your children will see that for exactly what it is. (And it’s probably why many youth today want nothing to do with God — they see how well it worked for you.) If you don’t want the relationship with God, then don’t fake it. Either work with determination to get things right with God or walk away. You can fool some people some of the time, but you can’t fool God. He see’s everything! He owns everything! He has power over life and death!

Communion is a symbolic reminder that you are in a covenant relationship with God. In some ways, it’s like wearing a wedding ring. God wants you to remember that He stepped down into human history, endured the cross, so that you know that you can come to Him, restore a broken covenant through having a conversation to make things right between the two of you. If you have broken intimacy with Him through what you know was wrong (sin), you have access to God to ask for forgiveness. He agrees to giving you that access even when you have sinned. That’s what the cross provided for you. It did not provide for a Christian-in-name-only brand. What kind of inheritance is that for your children?

Christians think that they’re supposed to be comfortable, provided for, and happy because God is their God. But, that’s not what being a Christian is about. God doesn’t want you to be selfishly comfortable. He doesn’t want you to have material things that you don’t need while others of His children go without. God doesn’t want for you to be happy while you choose opposite of His will. And I can promise you this, God will always know when you have a little g “god” on the side.

Happy Communion Sunday!

Church Leadership Thoughts

Posted on by

There have been many changes in church leadership in the last year or two locally. It seems bratty of me to think that it’s a good thing. It’s certainly not that I want ministers to lose their livelihoods. Those who have a good understanding of true doctrine are very much needed. 

Too often, though, I have seen false teachers spewing their garbage theologies from pulpits and being accepted by congregations full of people who don’t walk with the Spirit. The church is in a mess! It’s a travesty, that most don’t even understand that there is only one God. God is His title. Jesus is His name. Unfortunately, pastors today refer to Jesus as the Son of God rather than as the one and only God. 

I’ve done my part at God’s direction to educate the local ministers on true doctrine. The Mark of Excellence Newsletters were mailed to 24 local senior ministers every month for one year. I listened to God, studied the issues, prepared the newsletters, paid for printing, addressed the envelopes and paid for postage. Listen, I’m invested. I am one that God repeatedly awakened morning after morning at 3:00 or 4:00 am to receive His messages. If God were angry with a specific pastor, He would engage me in His heart towards their false teaching. Believe me, on my own, I would rather that God would speak to them directly and leave me out of His feelings of displeasure towards them. But He is God and I’m not. 

Then God started having me create The Rogue Prophets Magazines to expand on certain topics. Every two months for two years, I worked on creating full magazines and posting them digitally on social media platforms. Some of the magazines were printed so that I could hand deliver them to the ministers that God identified. 

Most likely, every pastor involved would rather not receive a teaching or rebuke from me. It hasn’t been comfortable for me either. But I don’t have a choice. I don’t get to decide that my ministry is done. I don’t get to just walk out of the pulpit and take on another life. Obviously, I feel that it would be good for those who cannot learn true doctrine to walk away from ministry. It’s what needs to happen. Still there is some compassion that creeps in that I would rather push away. They didn’t want to hear the message from God. They didn’t want to seek Him to learn from Him. They didn’t want to make their congregations uncomfortable by changing doctrines. I can’t regret when the wrong ones walk away. 

This year, I see God doing something slightly different with me. The messages that I will deliver are somewhat political. The first Mark of Excellence Newsletter that I created this year was on “Chains of Injustice”. The next one, already in the works, is “Carbon Tyranny”. God wants to dispute the propaganda media on subjects that are being shoved on us by those who oppose God. My true hope is that the Church globally will learn to seek God and hear His voice. Until that happens though, He will likely continue to send messengers to bring a word from Him.

Justice Warriors or Wimps?

Posted on by

It’s only recently that God has revealed to me how completely ineffective the church is on matters of justice. The churches often paint God out to be incapable or unable to demonstrate anger or wrath. Obviously, that is contrary to the Biblical characterization of God. But it’s not only God’s justice that the churches are missing the mark on. They also refuse to target injustices going on in our world today.

Where is the church when Christian patriots are falsely accused and jailed, like on January 6, 2021? Why isn’t the church (corporately) making their voices heard? Why are they funding shoe boxes full of dollar store toys for kids when God’s money should be going to save people willing to stand up and make a difference against a fraudulent election? This nation, a nation whose motto is “In God We Trust“, is a Christian nation. Why is the church so watered down that it can’t take a true stand against injustice? Listen, if it is because they’re 501c3, that’s not acceptable!

Isaiah 58:6 NIV
“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?”

A Nation In Decline

Posted on by

 Words delivered from God’s prophet, Tammie Edwards, on 1/21/2024. It’s between you and God what you do with this. Each numbered item was a separate post in sequence, delivered real-time on Truth Social.

1) If revival is going to happen, we must be risk-taking truth-tellers. We cannot accept the herd mentality that is so prominent in churches today. We cannot sit back and accept false teaching for the sake of maintaining a fake unity. God expects us to stand against the devil’s schemes, not to accept them in a feigned peace-keeping bravado. Have courage to speak God’s truth even if it hurts. That’s revival!

2) Hear God, speak truth, fight for justice, war against evil, expose lies, walk in the Spirit, don’t blend in. The devil wants to weaponize your compassion into accepting less. Isn’t that why revival doesn’t happen? Status quo isn’t cutting it! Stand in the destiny calling that God ordained for you. RISE UP!

3) Who wants the falsely accused and wrongly imprisoned January 6 hostages to be freed? I do! Will you and I use our voices to defend America and her patriots? Or will we sit back, blend in, and let someone else speak up? Have we been trained to shut up and accept less?

4) If you want to send shoe boxes full of dollar store toys over to other countries more than you want to free the January 6 hostages held by our own fake-elected government, then you’re not a justice and truth warrior. You’re a country club Christian. Wear that label. It suits you well!

5) Three years! They’ve been sitting in a jail cell waiting for patriot Christians to rescue them. The fake government threatens to arrest thousands more people who traveled to protest a fraudulent election. Meanwhile evil protesters can vilify Israel for defending herself on the same streets. They’re mocking you and threatening you to not rise up for freedom and integrity. Oh church how have you sat back and celebrated your own defeat?

6) Oh church, you’re pathetic. You choose to ignore injustice while you fast and pray for selfish wants. You don’t deserve to live in a nation where freedom reigns. You want captivity as long as it affords you comfort. You know that you have picked out your favorite seat in the aisle where you can smile affectionately at the pastor as though there is no injustice or evil. Yep, sit down and shut up. It suits you, ignorant fool!

7) They’re raping this nation, destroying her beauty and majesty, while the church sits idly by refusing to seek God. I want to vomit when I see your religious games and foolishness. You want to fast, then do it. You fat, lazy, ineffective captives. Take a selfie!

Isaiah 58:1-10 NIV: “Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the descendants of Jacob their sins. 2 For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right and has not forsaken the commands of its God. They ask me for just decisions and seem eager for God to come near them. 3 ‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you have not seen it? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you have not noticed?’ “Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please and exploit all your workers. 4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife, and in striking each other with wicked fists. You cannot fast as you do today and expect your voice to be heard on high. 5 Is this the kind of fast I have chosen, only a day for people to humble themselves? Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed and for lying in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD? 6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? 8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. 9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. “If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, 10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.”
