The Roman Catholic practice of Good Friday evolved slowly in the 4th century until becoming codified at the Quinisext Council in 692 AD

The Roman Catholic Church likes to pretend that the things they do are the things that they’ve always done, and that is far from the truth. For example, worshipping of Mary was something that developed gradually over time and was not codified until 1854 when Pope Pius IX issued his Ineffabilis Deus. Yet the Vatican likes to make you think it was always that way, and that all the apostles did that, and that is a lie. Another good lie is ‘Good Friday’, much older than Mary worship but still as recent as 692.

“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” 1 John 2:19 (KJB)

Look at the photo at the top of this article, this is what a Good Friday holy day looks like in Europe, this was filmed in Spain. Terrifying, isn’t it? Now you know where the Spanish Inquisition came from. Those of you who know me know that for 30 years before I got saved, I was a Roman Catholic trained in Jesuit schools, and trained as an altar boy in the dark mystery of Mass. I speak not as an outsider, but as one trained at the highest levels of Roman Catholicism.

The Roman Catholic Church created Good Friday in 692 AD, and when celebrated in Europe, this is what it looks like. Terrifying, isn’t it? This video was filmed in Spain, now you know where the Spanish Inquisition came from. Good Friday is Catholic but absolutely not Christian. pic.twitter.com/X7puYeXuqc

The practice of Good Friday observance traces back to ancient times, with some customs documented as early as the 4th century by Egeria. Its evolution into a day of penance and fasting commemorates Christ’s death, with the name “Good Friday” possibly originating from “God’s Friday.” The veneration of the cross likely began in Jerusalem between the 7th and 8th centuries, with references to pre-sanctified Masses dating back to the Quinisext Council in AD 692. source

THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT:

• Nuns
• Priests
• Confession to a priest
• Prayer to Mary
• Veneration of Mary
• Christmas
• Lent
• Good Friday
• Easter
• The Mass
• The Eucharist
• Transubstantiation
• Holy Orders
• Last Rites
• Purgatory

In the Bible, there is no Lent, there is no Good Friday, and the only people celebrating Easter are the pagan Romans like Herod who killed Christians. It breaks my heart seeing Baptist churches putting up signs for ‘holy week’, and ‘come celebrate Good Friday with us’, proving just how hard it is to extricate yourself from the grip of Mother Rome, even for Baptists.

Apostle and end times deceiver Paula White is reveling in her role as the Divine Feminine spiritual leader in the Trump White House

Paula White has arrived at the moment she has always longed for, nearly unlimited wealth and power through her association with the most politically-powerful man on earth, President Donald Trump. As a self-proclaimed and self-anointed ‘apostle’, Paula White is the living, breathing embodiment of the type of false and deceitful workers the apostle Paul warns us about. The falling away in the Laodicean Church, (if you know you know), is staring you right in the face if you have eyes to see it. That’s the memo.

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:13 (KJB)

Speaking of President Trump, White says “There will be some people that absolutely believe that he is chosen and he is anointed”. On our Podcast on Monday talking about Real ID and the Mark of the Beast, I said the exact same thing, but for a much different reason. What Apostle Paula doesn’t know or understand, is that God can sometimes anoint people as He does in the Bible to carry out some very scary stuff. For example, Ezekiel 28 shows us Lucifer as the anointed of God, and Isaiah 10 shows us him being used of God as Antichrist. King Saul was a terrible king over Israel, yet he was anointed of God for that role. I believe that, according to Daniel 2, God did indeed raise up Donald Trump to be the ruler of the most powerful nation on Earth. I also believe Trump is in this position to advance the end times timeline and, unwittingly to himself, carry out the judgment of God on America and on the world.

Apostle Paula White feels right at home in Trump White House

FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: In March, six weeks after President Trump appointed her to lead his White House Faith Office and set her up with an office in the West Wing, evangelical Christian leader Paula White preached in a YouTube sermon that the Passover-to-Easter period provided the faithful with an opportunity to receive “seven supernatural blessings.”

“God will assign an angel to you,” she said. “He’ll be an enemy to your enemies. He’ll give you prosperity.” Citing a verse from Exodus, she added that God also had decreed that “none shall appear before me empty-handed.”

The weeklong passion of Jesus and the Easter Holy Week of the Roman Catholic Church have very little in common if truth and accuracy are of any value to you

For starters, we call it Passion Week because ‘passion’ is the term the Bible gives the events that took placed during that time, and it lasted from Sunday to Sunday. The Roman Catholic Church calls it ‘Holy Week’, sounds about the same, right? It does, until you come to realization that the path the Roman Church takes you down is not the path that Jesus walked.

“To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:” Acts 1:3 (KJB)

The apologist site Catholic Answers says this about ‘holy week’: “Holy Week is the most sacred seven days each year in the Catholic Church. It encompasses the crescendo of Lent, the sorrow of Good Friday, and the joy of the Easter Vigil which commences the celebration of Easter Sunday. There are many other rich traditions and key events during the week, from Jesus’s institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper on Holy Thursday to the solemn events of Good Friday, including the Stations of the Cross.” source

So what’s wrong with that? Plenty. In the Bible, there is no Lent, there is no Good Friday, and the only people celebrating Easter are the pagan Romans like Herod who killed Christians. It breaks my heart seeing Baptist churches putting up signs for ‘holy week’, and ‘come celebrate Good Friday with us’, proving just how hard it is to extricate yourself from the grip of Mother Rome, even for Baptists.

The Two Babylons

For a detailed and eye-opening look at the actual origins of pagan practices like Easter and Lent, we highly recommend you purchase of copy of The Two Babylons and see where the Roman perversion of Easter comes from. 

The Passion Week Of Jesus

• SUNDAY: “And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.” Matthew 21:9 (KJB) Here we have the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy from places like Zechariah 9:9 (KJB) showing you what will turn out to be, one day, the Second Advent of Jesus Christ where the literal, physical and literal Kingdom of Heaven will be established on this earth. Jesus the King of the Kingdom of Heaven, riding on the ass, and Jesus King of the Kingdom of God, made possible by His death on the cross. The so-called ‘Palm Sunday’ is actually a presentation of the entire Bible. From here Jesus goes to the Temple and flips over the tables of the moneychangers, and heals the blind and the lame. All this happens on that Sunday.
• MONDAY: “Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.” Matthew 21:18 (KJB) All day Monday, Jesus preaches and teaches the people, prophesying what is about to befall the Jews and the nation of Israel. On Sunday He was presented as a King, here on Monday He is presented as a Prophet. “But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.” Matthew 21:46 (KJB) When Jesus goes to the cross two days from now, He will be presented as a Priest. “Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.” Matthew 26:2 (KJB)
• TUESDAY: “Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.” Matthew 26:6,7,12 (KJB) Mary of Bethany, sister to Martha and that Lazarus Jesus raised from the dead, is seen here anointing the body of Jesus in anticipation of His death and burial. The devil Judas hates it and tries to stop her from doing it, but to no avail. Now everything is in place for the last supper the disciples will have with the Lord in the upper room.
• WEDNESDAY: “Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?” Matthew 26:17 (KJB) The number one thing you must keep in mind is that the Jewish day starts at sundown. When does the Jewish ‘Saturday sabbath’ begin? It starts at sundown on Friday evening. So when Jesus and the disciples are in the upper room at night, it is the beginning of the day not the end of it. It is in this 12-hour period on Wednesday (at night on our Tuesday), that the events of the last supper, betrayal and arrest of Jesus will take place. When the sun comes up, it is still the same day, on the Hebrew calendar, that started the previous evening. It is here on Wednesday morning at around 9 AM, that Jesus will be crucified. He will be dead by approximately 3 PM later that same day.
• THURSDAY – DAY ONE: “The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.” John 19:31 (KJB) This is DAY ONE of the 3 days and 3 nights that the body of Jesus will be in the grave. It is also a special High Sabbath, not to be confused with the upcoming regular Saturday sabbath.
• FRIDAY – DAY TWO: “And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.” Mark 16:1 (KJB) The women come and anoint the body of Jesus after the High Sabbath and before the Saturday sabbath. This is DAY TWO of the 3 days and 3 nights the body of Jesus will be in the grave.
• SATURDAY – DAY THREE: “And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.” Luke 23:56 (KJB) As we said before, this anointing of the body takes place between two different sabbath days. This is DAY THREE of the 3 days and 3 nights the body of Jesus will be in the grave. You will note that three consecutive 24-hour days, as a day is defined in Genesis 1, have now taken place. You will further note that this is only possible by starting our clock on Wednesday and not “good” Friday, which is not possible.
• SUNDAY: “In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” Matthew 28:1-6 (KJB) Remember how we showed you that the Jewish day on the Hebrew calendar begins at sundown? Ok, so the Saturday sabbath that began Sunday on Friday is now coming to an end at sundown on Saturday. Sunday is starting, and it is here, sometime between now and the sunrise of the next day, that Jesus will have risen from the dead. The Bible says that as the sun was coming up, Jesus was already up. This is not Easter, this is the biblical resurrection day of the ever-living God, Jesus the Christ.

This is Roman Catholic Holy Week

QUESTION: Is this a celebration of the Roman Catholic Holy Week in Salamanca Spain, or is this a demonic ritual calling on Ashtaroth and Tammuz? pic.twitter.com/nFtkD9oEfX
