CATHOLIC POPE
WILL NEVER BE THE ANTICHRIST
THE MYTH DEBUNKED- "WHAT SAITH THE SCRIPTURES"
the Antichrist spoken of in the Bible? If you have heard that
accusation, did you take it to heart or did you dismiss it? I would like
to demonstrate from the scriptures, beyond the shadow of any
doubt, that it will not ever happen. You might find it intriguing that I
am not Roman Catholic.
There are many books, commentaries and web sites claiming the
Roman Catholic Pope will one day be the Antichrist. Now there is a
book demonstrating from the scriptures why it will never happen.
The introduction of the book is offered below. It is available
through book stores in paperback. You can purchase it here via
links to Amazon or Barns and Nobles or the e-book in Microsoft
Reader or Adobe PDF format from Amazon.com.
The myth and accusation that the Roman Catholic leader will one
day be the Antichrist has its roots in religious misconceptions and
lack of Biblical end-time understanding. It has contributed greatly to
discord and a lack of unity among millions of Christians that have
very powerful common ground in Jesus Christ and the Cross of
Calvary. Please allow this non-denominational author to show how
the scriptures clearly demonstrate the Roman Catholic Pope will
never become the "Son of Perdition". Come see how much the
scripture does have to say about the coming “lawless one” and how
his kingdom is being prepared right before our very eyes. Whether
we like it or not, the world we live in is moving in the direction of the
literal fulfillment of Bible Prophecy.

Introduction
The division and strife that has existed among Christian people over
time is astonishing. The unity of faith desired by our Lord seems
impossible. Christians worldwide, regardless of their denominational
position, have powerful common ground in the cross of Calvary.
The walls that divide us are really much weaker than the ties that
should bind us together. Most things that Christians disagree on are
small issues compared to what we all know in our hearts. The birth,
death and resurrection of Jesus Christ gave Christianity its very
existence. Without the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
we possess nothing more than vain beliefs and meaningless motions.
The New Testament tells us that if Christ has not risen from the grave,
our faith is in vain.
The purpose of this book is to tear down a long standing concept that
has been floating around for a long time. It has hindered unity, created
strife and prejudice among Christian people. The idea and accusation
that the Roman Catholic Pope will one day be the Antichrist in the last
days is a religious misconception and inherited opinion that has been
passed down. It has also been fueled by prejudice at times. There is
absolutely no Biblical or scriptural basis for this belief.
As we search the text, we will see that from a Biblical standpoint it is
totally impossible for this man to ever fill the role of the Anti-messiah.
With a small amount of research to see what the scriptures really say
concerning the last days, it will become clear that this will never
happen. We will also see some interesting aspects of the days we are
living in regarding end-time Biblical prophecy.
We want to demonstrate only what the scriptures say concerning “the
Pope not being the Antichrist”. I am not Catholic. I have no secret
motivation to defend this Perspective. I do intend to expose this fallacy
with no attitude or bias and lift up Jesus Christ at the same time. My
hope is that anyone that reads this book will walk away with a greater
desire to “walk in love” toward all other people. As we see the
shortcomings of this accusation, I hope we all will realize how
damaging to our heart and attitudes receiving gossip and non-
scriptural accusations can be.
To claim this leader will one day be the Anti-Messiah, one “must
scrape the bottom” very hard to find maybe one or two verses to twist
to suit ones preconceived notions . The usual follow up might say “this
seems like this” or “this probably is this.” No real conclusive
scriptural evidence of any kind has been produced simply because it
does not exist. We will see a multitude of solid, “beyond the shadow of
a doubt” biblical passages that will demonstrate it is impossible for the
Pope as we know him, to ever fill that role. All we need to do is search
the scriptures a little.
When I insert an opinion or a probability, I will clearly state that this is
“my” opinion only. I desire all readers to clearly separate between the
“Biblical proof” of my statements and any secondary opinion I might
offer, regarding aspects of the last days. Everything I have ever read
concerning the Pontiff being the Antichrist has much assumption and
no scriptural support. Some have tried to use past historical
accusations and strive to “make it fit” the scripture. That methodology
itself creates more questions than answers and still provides no real
and solid theological evidence.
Solomon wrote in the book of Proverbs that wood is to fire as a
talebearer is to strife. Where there is no talebearer the strife or “fire”
will cease. He also said that the words of a talebearer or gossiper are
wounds that go deep into a man’s inner most parts. The wounding of
Christian people by each other has endured too long. My desire is to
strip away all of the “wood from this fire” so it can hopefully be
permanently extinguished.
I am a non-denominational Christian writing to all to encourage you to
obey God’s commandments, to love one another and forsake non-
scriptural rumor and accusations. The Apostle John in his wonderful,
first epistle clearly told us if we do not love our brother, it is impossible
to love God. Love is not boastful or proud, and it does not embrace
slander or prejudice. Love believes the best.
It has been said often that our lives may demonstrate the only “Jesus”
many people will ever see because Jesus lives within us. How can we
ever demonstrate the love of God to a lost and dying civilization when
we are busy demeaning each other. Let us forsake our small
differences and many excuses to disagree, and choose to exist in the
thirteenth chapter of first Corinthians. As the Apostle Paul said,
“though I have the gift of prophecy and all knowledge and faith to
move mountains but have not love I am nothing.”
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no
talebearer, the strife ceaseth. As coals are to burning coals, and wood
to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. The words of a
talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts
of the belly. (Proverbs 26:20-22)

great theological
laugh?
If one believes the Pope
will be the Antichrist and
they also believe the
Catholic Church to be
Mystery Babylon (The
Great Harlot) of Revelation
chapter 17, then what they
basically yet unknowingly
believe is that the Pope
will destroy his own
Church.
WHY?
Because the 10 kings of
Revelation 17 & 18 that
destroy Mystery Babylon
are the same 10 kings (10
horns) of Daniel chapter 7
that the “little horn”
(Antichrist) rises to power
through. They are
obviously somewhat
together and of the same
"heart and soul".
What tremendous
discredit for anyone
that could promote
such a thing.
