Catechism and Confirmation

Catechism and Confirmation
Comparison between "Catechism of the Catholic Church"
(published in 1995 by Doubleday, 1540 Broadway, New York, New York 10036)
and the Bible -- the Authorized King James Version of 1611

RCC Catechism

Confirmation Gives Holy Spirit

"Confirmation perfects Baptismal grace; it is the sacrament which gives the Holy Spirit in order to root us more deeply in the divine filiation, incorporate us MORE FIRMLY into Christ, strengthen our bond with the Church.." (#1316, p. 367)


Bible

God Gives Holy Spirit

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Luke 11:13


RCC Catechism

Confirmation Puts Us More Firmly in Christ

"Confirmation perfects Baptismal grace; it is the sacrament which gives the Holy Spirit in order to root us more deeply in the divine filiation, incorporate us MORE FIRMLY into Christ, strengthen our bond with the Church.." (#1316, p. 367)

"Confirmation, like Baptism, imprints a spiritual mark or indelible character on the Christian's soul..." (#1317, p. 367)

Bible

You are either "in Christ" or "out of Christ"

(a) No such thing as being more "firmly" into Christ. One is either "In Christ, or "Out" of Christ.

"Therefore if any man be IN CHRIST, he is a new creature; old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new.

--2 Cor. 5:17

(b) Once you are "IN CHRIST," nothing can take you out of Christ.

...him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 

--John 6:37

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is IN CHRIST JESUS our Lord."  

--Rom. 8:38-39

(c) No need to be more "firmly incorporated into Christ." "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are IN CHRIST JESUS, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." 

--Rom. 8:1

(d) There is nothing in the Bible about "imprinting a spiritual mark on a Christian's soul. This being the case, why does the Catholic religion practice this? Because it is CATHOLIC TRADITION, NOT God's word.


RCC Catechism

Confirmation Binds People to the Catholic Religion

"For by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly BOUND TO THE CHURCH..."[Roman Catholic Church] (#1285, p. 358)

Bible

Confirmation Binds People to Satan

Jesus makes people free, but Satan binds them in prison. In Isaiah 14:16-17 the people look at a cast down, brought down Lucifer asking:

Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

The Catholic religion binds people to its own traditions which are the opposite of God's. Does not Satan pervert and turn inside out everything that God says? God told Adam "Don't eat from the tree. What did Satan tell Eve? "Eat from the tree." God says, "I'll seal you with my Holy Spirit." Satan says, "The priest will seal you with my Holy Spirit."

No need to be "bound" to the rituals of the Roman Catholic Church. Christ doesn't "bind" you to man-made traditions. He sets people FREE!

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be FREE INDEED." 

--John 8:36

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith CHRIST hath made us free.."  

--Gal. 5:1

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.  

-- Luke 4:18
