Test All Things: An Invitation to Examine Your Catholic Faith in the Light of Scripture
By Joseph Mizzi
PDF Download, 2005, 126 pages

Joseph Mizzi of the island nation of Malta has written this excellent primer on the differences between Roman Catholicism and Biblical Christianity. Mizzi was raised in a devout Catholic family, but was taken aback when his brother trusted in Jesus Christ as his Savior by faith alone and left the family religion. Joseph set about to study the Scriptures himself with the aim of persuading his brother to return to Catholicism, but also ended up accepting Jesus Christ as his Savior by faith alone.

This book avoids heavy theological jargon and appeals to the Catholic layperson in a winsome, loving manner. Scripture passages are plentiful. Chapter headings are as follows:

What Will It Profit A Man?
God’s Word Is Truth
Built Upon Christ
Guilty!
Justified!
Baptism
Forgiveness

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.-John 4:24

Every time any form of worship by procession, celebration, or ceremonial of man’s invention is offered to God, it is offered in defiance of this word of Christ, and cannot and will not be received; however earnest people may be they have violated the imperative canon of God’s Word; and in fighting for rubrics they have gone against the eternal rubric that God as a Spirit must be worshipped in spirit and in truth. ~ C.H. Spurgeon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Essence of lies, and quintessence of blasphemy, as the religion of Rome IS… it nevertheless fascinates a certain order of Protestants, of whom we fear it may be truly said that ‘they have received a strong delusion to believe a lie, that they may be damned.’ Seeing that it is so, it becomes all who would preserve their fellow-immortals from destruction to be plain and earnest in their warnings. Not in a party-spirit, but for truth’s sake, our Protestantism must protest perpetually.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon

–The Sword and the Trowel January 1873

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles nor to the church of God:

Questions: If you set up the pagan Yule/ X Mass tree in the church because you don’t believe there is any harm to you and your fellow believers, will you stop the practice when a former Wiccan comes to Christ Jesus as her Savior and joins your church? Or will you wound her conscience and spoil her rewards from God by your selfishness in letting her believe that some of her Wiccan practices and tokens are OK for her to hold on to? In witnessing Christ before Wiccans, do you think they will see how set apart from them you are during the X Mass/Easter season? Or will they see you as imitating them (which is what you really are doing) and cause them to believe that Christianity is just another pagan-rooted religion?

Another question: Do you care if some of your members leave the church while you are celebrating the Yuletide season because it offends them?

Pretend for a moment that you and your family are the only ones in the world. Pretend you don’t have a TV or any history books from the world. All you have is a Bible. Without any influences from the world, you do your best to follow the Word of God. Based on that scenario, is it likely that you will be cutting a tree from the forest, decorating it with balls, and exchanging gifts on December 25th and saying it is for the celebration of the birth of Christ? Of course not because such silly tradition does not exist in the Bible and it would not even exist in your conscience and you would not even be inspired to imagine such a silly tradition. It is only through the impure minds of the heathens that such a tradition came about.

Therefore, if you do the Christmas celebration, you fully acknowledge that it is solely based on the world’s tradition. It is solely based on what MAN says to do, not God. If you want to continue Christmas celebration, then don’t be a hypocrite and say it’s for Jesus, because it’s not! It’s for the world. Admit you are a heathen and carry on your heathen ways, but don’t you dare put yourself in the same category as the most High and all His people. We are not of the world. ~comment from Duh Enlightened One on a YT Video
