FROM ROME TO ROMAN CATHOLIC:
The True History Of The Catholic Church And Its Foundation In The Ancient Roman Empire Of The Caesars
The True History Of The Catholic Church And Its Foundation In The Ancient Roman Empire Of The Caesars
By Geoffrey Grider: The Roman Catholic Church was formed in the belly of the ancient Roman Empire and has nothing in common with anything found in the New Testament.
The Catholic Church is very busy right now electing a new pope, or as they like to call him, the Pontifex Maximus. Every day headlines bring news filled with buzzwords like pontiffs, priests, cardinals, electors and pope, words we associated with the Catholic Church. But surprise, surprise, those are not Catholic words and terms, they are the language of the ancient Roman Empire that began 6 decades before the birth of Jesus Christ. Did you know that one of the most famous Pontifex Maximuses was Julius Caesar?
Nearly everything about the Catholic Church was first formed and birthed within the framework of the Roman Empire, yes, the very same Roman Empire that spent 300 years feeding Christians to the lions for sport. Rome was not a secular government, they were highly religious albeit of the pagan sort. Pontifex Maximus, or ‘High Priest’, was the highest priest in ancient Rome and the superior of the college of priests – pontiffs (Collegium Pontificum). According to ancient records, Rome owed the foundation of the college of pontiffs to the second king of Rome – Numa Pompilius. The priests in the college acted as advisers to the king (rex) on religious matters. The head of the office was the described pontifex maximus, who together with other priests sat on position for life. You can read more about that here.
You see, in the Roman Catholic Church, all the offices they have like priest, cardinal (deacon), pontiff and Pontifex Maximus all existed before one word of the New Testament was even written! None of it is from any of the gospels or any of the writings of the apostles, that would come later when the Roman Empire was in decline and the switch was made to preserve it by making it a church. At that point, Rome appropriated gospel passages to add as window dressing to give themselves the “keys to the kingdom”. Read more about that here.
Look in your Bible and try as you might, you will not find any scripture calling for the creation of a special and powerful clerical ruling class of priests who lord over the laity they have in subjection. Other things you will not find in the Bible include...

When I was a Roman Catholic for the first 30 years of my life, from time to time I would wonder why, if my church was the “one true church”, was it centered in Rome and not in Jerusalem like everything connected to the apostles was. That’s a good question you should ask.
I wondered why almost nothing I was taught lined up with what the Bible taught, and why all the “bible classes” I was made to attend, CCD, only ever taught the “traditions of the early church fathers” and not Bible doctrine. The entire superstructure of the Roman Catholic Church existed with priests, pontiffs, worship services, confession and the Pontifex Maximus long before Jesus ever walked the earth. This is why it’s called the Roman Catholic Church because it’s not the Christian church.

Debunking A False Narrative: Does Belief In A Pre-Tribulation Rapture Breed ‘Complacency’ In Christians?
By Jonathan Brentner: Opponents of the pre-Tribulation Rapture say that because we believe in divine deliverance from the coming Tribulation judgments, we have little motivation, if any, to care for the needs of those around us or to seek to bring others to Christ.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Like other lines of reasoning against our hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing, the complacency argument bases its conclusion upon supposed experience rather than the words of Scripture, which must always have the final say in all matters of our faith.
In a book that’s scheduled to be published later this month, Invitation to a Lavish Feast – Following Wisdom’s Path to the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, I provide a thorough and compelling case of how God’s Word confirms our hope that Jesus will take us home to glory before the start of the seven-year Tribulation.
Let’s, however, take a closer look at other ways in which the reasoning of our opponents falls short.

Echoes Of Babel: When Man Builds Towers With Code
By PNW Staff: By all appearances, artificial intelligence is the marvel of our age—a digital marvel that promises to enhance productivity, revolutionize healthcare, automate legal processes, and generate more content than we could ever read. It's hailed as the next great leap forward in human development. But what if this leap forward is also a lunge into a carefully coded trap? What if AI is not only capable of shaping our world—but of reshaping us?
The truth is, AI is not just another tool in the belt of technological progress. It is a mirror—and a magnifier—of the values, intentions, and ideologies of its creators. It doesn’t operate in a vacuum; it learns from data sets curated by humans, and it is trained on vast corpuses of information, both helpful and harmful, truthful and deceptive. And this is where the danger lies—not just in the power AI possesses, but in the hands that shape it and the minds it influences.
From Assistance To Authority
Once viewed as a helpful assistant—managing calendars, writing emails, or summarizing research—AI is now transitioning into a source of authority. People are no longer just using AI to generate content; they’re asking it life questions. What should I believe about gender? What’s the best philosophy to follow? What does history teach us about justice, leadership, or morality? And in many cases, they’re accepting the answer AI gives as neutral truth.
But AI is not neutral. It is shaped by the datasets it is trained on, which are themselves reflections of cultural, political, and ideological biases. When those biases lean heavily in one direction—as they often do—the AI’s outputs become less a balanced presentation of truth and more a filtered lens that subtly persuades the user toward particular beliefs.

Why Is The Underground Facility Where Government Leaders Would Take Shelter During An Extinction-Level Event “Getting An Upgrade”?
By Michael Snyder: If a large asteroid was heading toward our planet or a nuclear war was imminent, there are underground facilities where our leaders would be able to take shelter in order to ensure that the U.S. government continues to operate. But as far as the general public is concerned, we would be on our own. There are no shelters for us, and we would not be allowed inside the underground facilities where our leaders would be hiding. Surprisingly, we have just learned that the underground facility where congressional leaders took shelter in the aftermath of 9/11 is “getting an upgrade”…
Is something coming? Do our leaders know something that they aren’t telling us?
I think that it is worth noting that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Mount Weather just last month...
A secretive underground FEMA base where congressional leaders hid following the 9/11 attacks is getting an upgrade.We don’t know what “upgrades” these contractors are making or why they are making them.
But what exactly are workers doing at Mount Weather? Well, that’s classified ‒ and the contractors who are doing the work have top secret security clearances.
Is something coming? Do our leaders know something that they aren’t telling us?

Geller Report
California Democrats Block Bill To Make Sex Trafficking of Children a Felony
By Pamela Geller: Democrats hold supermajorities in both houses of the state legislature. They could have easily passed this into law. The Left Is Trying to Normalize Pedophilia.
Republicans tried to push Democrats to increase penalties for soliciting 16- and 17-year-olds for sex or prostitution. That crime is a misdemeanor punishable by between two days to a year in jail. Solicitation involves asking for or arranging sex in exchange for money or something valuable; a host of other sex crimes involving minors of any age are felonies, including paying for and having sex with a minor. This time, Republicans had the backing of freshman Democratic Assemblymember Maggy Krell, of Sacramento, who authored Assembly Bill 379. Krell objected on Tuesday when her colleagues removed the provision on soliciting older minors, saying fellow Democrats had forced her to agree to it on the threat the Public Safety committee would refuse to hold a hearing otherwise (Cal Matters).
