'Holy Door' to be opened at the Vatican on December 8th, Followed by 'Holy Doors' being opened around the world (December 2015)
"The rite of the opening of the Holy Door is intended to symbolically illustrate the idea that the Church's faithful are offered an 'extraordinary path' toward salvation during the time of jubilee ... The doors are only opened during jubilee years so that pilgrims can enter through them in order to gain the plenary indulgence that is connected with the jubilee ... One of the novelties for the upcoming Jubilee of Mercy is that for the first time Holy Doors will be designated in every diocese throughout the world."
What the Roman Catholic Church is saying here is that if you walk through any of these so called 'holy doors' during this 'Jubilee', the church will pardon you of your sins and therefore you will not need to spend any time in 'purgatory' (Catholic teaching). Instead the church will grant you a straight passage to salvation.
Anyone see a problem with this? Yes, the Roman Catholic Church replaces the FREE gift of grace that God has bestowed upon us, which we can secure by faith in Jesus Christ, with their own works based salvation that only the church can grant you.
Oh dear people of God in the Roman Catholic Church - Please pick up a Bible and study for yourself, and you will see that walking through a so called 'holy door' on earth will do nothing for you. Jesus Christ the Son of God has already secured your salvation on the cross of calvary. All you need to do is accept this sacrifice by faith and follow Jesus Christ. The pope and the Roman Catholic Church can do nothing for your salvation. It is only secured by faith in Jesus Christ and the work that he did, and continues to do for you in the heavenly sanctuary.
Ephesians 2:4-10 ...'But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.'
The only true 'Holy Door' that has been opened is the one in the heavenly sanctuary which Jesus Christ Himself opened (Revelation 3:8). This door we are to walk through by faith and follow Jesus by faith into the most holy place in the heavenly sanctuary, where we can find the throne of grace!
Did you know dear Catholic that Jesus is our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary? We do not need any earthly priests or popes to confess our sins to. We have direct access to God's throne of grace through Jesus Christ our High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16; 8:1-2 and 9:11-12)
Please don't be deceived by BABYLON THE GREAT any more. Jesus Christ is the only one who can save us (John 14:6) -- And don't be surprised to see some 'miracles' attached to this 'Jubilee' to deceive the people into thinking God is behind it.
