One of the most valued aspects of being Catholic is the sacrament of reconciliation: confessing your sins to a priest, receiving absolution (cleansing), and performing the assigned penance. There are five main reasons I no longer believe these three things are necessary to be forgiven and restored to a right relationship with God.

Many Christian denominations teach infant baptism, including the Catholic Church in which I was raised. Is this a legitimate biblical tradition, or is it based on a misunderstanding of Scripture? Even if parents who do this are sincere, are they basing their hopes on a doctrinal foundation that crumbles when examined closely?

Years ago, after a month of very successful open-air gatherings in India, I pled with God to let me remain in that nation of over one billion people the rest of my life and devote myself to reaching precious Hindu, Jainist, Sikh, Buddhist, and Muslim people with the Gospel. In response, He gave me a powerful vision of the United States that I want to share with you. It truly will give you hope.

Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day—Why do these three days qualify as times of “darkness and deception”? When did these traditions begin? What primary Catholic doctrines are inseparably connected to two of these days? Should true believers participate in these days or shun them?

Do all human beings have an external “divine influence” that can bring them to completion or an internal “divine essence” that needs to be awakened? The difference between these two perspectives is profound. Do we have a “Higher Self,” a “Spark of Divinity,” a “Buddha Nature,” a “Christ Principle,” or a “Conscience”? How do these concepts differ?

In 1274 A.D., Purgatory was officially declared a doctrine of the Catholic Church. This netherworld location has been described as a place of flames, punishment, intolerable pain, and purification, before those subjected to it graduate to the bliss of heaven. Purgatory cannot be proven by the Bible. Along with indulgences, it is one of the primary beliefs that led to the great Protestant Reformation.

At a recent interfaith gathering in Singapore, Pope Francis voiced some very controversial statements. Referencing Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians, he insisted, “We are all sons and daughters of God.” He also maintained, “There’s only one God,” and all religions are just “different paths” that all “arrive at God.” Are these assertions true or are they serious heretical departures from authentic, biblical Christianity?

Recently the pope spoke to an interfaith group of young people in Singapore and said, while mentioning Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians, that we are all “the children of God.” Is that true? Or are there certain New Testament criteria that must be fulfilled for people to become children of God. If so, what are those requirements? The answer may be far more profound than you expect.

Lifting hands in worship is a biblical approach for worshiping God in a passionate and heartfelt way. Unknown to most people, there are 10 specific reasons, symbolic, prophetic, and spiritual, given in Scripture for this sacred practice. Once these hidden meanings are known, this practice becomes even more wonderful and meaningful.
