Has the Catholic Church committed blasphemy and mainstream churches are just following them in their footsteps? First let’s look at the definition of blasphemy from Merriam-Webster.
Definition of blasphemy
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/blasphemy
1a: the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God accused of blasphemy
b: the act of claiming the attributes of a deity for a mere man to suggest that he was … divine could only be viewed … as blasphemy— John Bright †1889
Showing lack of respect for Yah (God) would be one of the attributes of committing blasphemy. One way to not show respect would be to not follow His commandments.
"I warn everyone hearing the words of the prophecy in this book that if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues written in this book. And if anyone takes anything away from the words in the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the Tree of Life and the holy city, as described in this book."
-Revelation 22:18-19 CJB
Yeshua (Jesus) says in Revelation that if you add or take away from the Word Of Yah, the Bible, then there will be consequences. Look below to see what the 10 Commandments in the Bible says versus the Catholic Church’s version.
As you can see right off the bat they changed three things. The first is they took away the second commandent. If you have ever been to a Catholic church then you would clearly see why this has been removed. Every Catholic church has images made of the Virgin Mary in which they pray to her as worshipers of a pagen religion would worship their “idols”.
The second change, and this is one major one where most mainstream churches are following suit, is that they changed the wording from “Sabbath Day” to “Lord’s Day” and then they changed the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday saying that because Yeshua was raised from the dead on Sunday that is the new day to keep holy. No where in the Bible does it say that Sunday is now the new “Holy Day”.
The third change is that they took the tenth commandment and split it into two. By doing this most people went notice that things have been removed or changed.
Another form of blasphemy is for man to claim that he himself is equal to Yah or even His replacement. In Parable Of The Vineyard’s YouTube video Unlocked: The BEAST Of Revelation you can see several quotes from past Popes who claim to be equal or superior to Yah and Yeshua. (I recommend watching this video as I learned much from it)
So as you can see the Catholic Church has committed several forms of blasphemy. I pray that the their leaders in Rome will open their eyes and turn their hearts to Yah. That they will change their ways and be true leaders for Him spreading His true Word to others.
Yah Bless
