7:32 Program begins.
7:58 Larry Wessels introduces his guest former Roman Catholic Rob Zins (website - cwrc-rz.org/
). Both Larry and Rob talk about their backgrounds, including their lives before being saved by receiving the true gospel of Jesus Christ. See the 16 hour 1990 video series that Rob & Larry began with starting with episode #1 called "Roman Catholicism Series #1: Not Real Christianity But Old Testament Judaism in Disguise" at • Roman Catholicism Series #1: Not Real... . Also Larry's video "I Married a Born & Raised Roman Catholic Before I Became a Supernaturally Born Again Bible Christian" at • I Married a Born & Raised Roman Catho... .
20:30 Larry reads Deuteronomy 18:9-14 which relates to praying to the dead in various ways.
22:28 Rob discusses what do Roman Catholics really believe. Catholics really believe in praying to the dead & for the dead as well as venerating relics & saints. Catholics believe the dead are alive somewhere else so it's okay to pray to them, talk to them, pray for them & venerate them.
26:38 Rob then reads from the Roman official Council of Trent about prayers and invoking the so-called saints in heaven who then will offer their merits earned on earth to Christ to give to people on earth who might need them for the afterlife. Trent condemns all those who are against these Roman beliefs such as the "Treasury of Merit," "Communion with the dead," "pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins," "our prayers helps the dead & makes the dead more effective to help the living"which are still taught as true in current Catholic catechisms which have not changed over time.
34:53 Rob mentions that those dead in Purgatory can be prayed for by the living on earth but Larry asks how do you know who is in Purgatory & who is not? Larry also mentions his debate with Dr. Fastiggi of Saint Edward's University who condemned Larry for saying the Roman Mass was blasphemy (see this debate "DOES ROMAN CATHOLICISM PREACH A DIFFERENT GOSPEL? DEBATE #1: LARRY WESSELS VS. ROBERT FASTIGGI" at • DOES ROMAN CATHOLICISM PREACH A DIFFE... ).
43:27 Council of Trent and the veneration of saints, dead bodies, pictures and images.
48:14 Larry mentions his icons video "Eastern, Russian & Greek Orthodoxy Consists of Idol Worshipers Venerating Pagan Icons & Images" at • Eastern, Russian & Greek Orthodoxy Co... & then interviews his friend Jesse Waters about his trip to
Ukraine & what Jesse saw at the Russian Orthodox churches there.
55:51 The example of Acts chapter 7 & the stoning of Steven. Rob continues on the subject of the veneration of saints, dead bodies, pictures, bones & images. Rob and Larry also talk about how Rome limits interpreting the Bible to themselves.
1:01:51 Highly respected Roman Catholic theologian Ludwig Ott & his book “Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma" twists scriptures. He completely distorts these verses to argue for veneration & invoking of saints to justify Catholic dogma. This is a perfect example of II Peter 3:16, "as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
1:16:19 Reference to our video "Roman Catholicism Series #11: Scripture Twisting - 20 Ways Religious Cults Misread the Bible" at • Roman Catholicism Series #11: Script... .
1:17:32 Rob moves to how the Roman system desperately uses the non-biblical II Maccabees as they
grasp for straws to build their doctrine of veneration. See our article on the The Apocrypha c.200-100 B.C. at biblequery.org/Bible/BibleCan...
.
1:19:46 Rob continues with scriptures that Rome falsely perverts including Jeremiah 15:1-2, etc. See our video "87% OF EVANGELICAL "CHRISTIANS" DON'T KNOW WHAT THE GOSPEL IS OR WHAT JUSTIFICATION IS at • 87% OF EVANGELICAL "CHRISTIANS" DON'T... .
1:31:15 Catholic teaching on veneration of the dead, relics & icons is wrong thus against the Bible showing it to be Necromancy & Sorcery rather than the true worship to God.
1:36:36 Rob gives closing statements and reads from Deuteronomy 18:9-14 while Larry speaks of
reaching Catholic people with compassion. Tips for evangelism. 1 Corinthians 9:14-23
