My dear Aunt Mary,
PAUL NOT PETER
It is pleasing to come to know that the Roman Catholic Church was the once pure church of Rome to whom its first pastor, the apostle Paul (and not Peter) sent the famous Epistle to the Romans now an important part of the New Testament. Peter was not authorized to pastor the gentile churches; he and the eleven original apostles were assigned to the lost tribes of Israel (Matthew 10:1-7). No less than the Lord Jesus Christ appointed Paul to be the apostle to the Gentiles and it was he, Paul, who pastured and nurtured the Gentile churches. After hard experience with his fellow Jews, Paul finally fulfilled Christ’s mission for him: that he go to the Gentiles. It was he who frequented Rome; there is no record in the New Testament that Peter ever went to Rome (Acts 9:15; 13:46; 18:6; Ephesians 3:8; 2 Timothy 1:11; Acts 19:21; 23:11; 28:14-16, 30; 2 Timothy 1:17, etc.)
Later, when evil men prevailed after the death of the apostles including Paul, another Simon, not Peter, but Simon Magus led the once pure Church of Rome to become corrupt and rode on the back of the beast (Roman Empire) for a new kind of church, one which makes religious teachings commercial or a source of profit (Acts 8:9-25; Revelations 17). It took a new name: Roman Catholic Church but the Bible calls her Mystery Babylon the Great, the mother of Harlots and of the abominations of the earth” (Rev. 17:5) because committed ‘adultery’ (spiritual and actual) with the great kings and leaders of these world’s government to gain riches and worldly honor.
That’s the sad history that had happened during the past 1,800 years.
The good news, however, according to the New Revelations of Jesus Christ, this corrupt Church will follow the act of Mary Magdalene: repentance and one who loves the Master the most (Luke 7:36-50).
Quite amazing! The 25-volume New Revelations of Jesus Christ is full of details about the story of the Catholic Church ending in good note: return to its former purity and faithfulness to Christ.
APOSTLE PETER NOT A POPE OF ROME!
After the original apostles were gone, false teachers and apostles turned her into a lying church. She was and has been a liar from that very start. She led us to believe, for example, that the apostle Peter was her ‘founder’ or first pope or chair, when the Bible have irrefutable proofs that Peter would not and could not do it because the Lord assigned him to the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel scattered abroad and that the same Lord appointed Paul to be the apostle of the gentile Christian churches, Rome one of them. It was therefore Paul who established and pastored the once faithful Church of Rome, to whom once he wrote the Epistle to the Romans.
Read the following main Scriptures and see for yourself: Matthew 10:5-7; -- Peter and the original 11 apostles were prohibited to go to the Gentiles because they were assigned to go and preach to the Lost Tribes of Israel; Acts 9:15-16, 13:46-47; Romans 1:5; 15:14-22; Galatians 1:16; 2:2 -- Paul was appointed apostle to the Gentiles by no less that the Lord Jesus Christ; Galatians 1:10-2:9 – clearly stated that Peter and the 11 were to the Jews or Israelites while Paul et. al. were to the Gentiles; Romans 15:20 – Protocol: He who organized or was assigned to organize the congregation must pastor it (e.g., personally, or via letters). Therefore, basing on the Christ’s commission to the first 12 apostles (of whom Paul was not one) to not go to the Gentiles but to the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 10:2-7) and observing the protocol in Romans 15:20, those whom Peter greet in 1 Peter 1:1-2 as “To God’s elect” were the Jews-Israelites, not Gentiles converts, who were scattered throughout gentile regions of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia. This protocol also suggests that Paul wrote the Epistle to the Romans (now included in the New Testament) because Paul, and not Peter, was the organizer and pastor of the church of Rome. Acts 23:11, 27:1-28:31 – Paul onto Rome where he nurtured the growth of the Church of Rome for 2 years.
Acts does not (nor the New Testament) contain record what happened to Paul. Legend has it that he was said to be being executed in Rome.
Now, we have seen that the New Testament has enough proofs to prove beyond doubt that THE CHURCH CLAIM OVER PETER AS HER FIRST APOSTLE OR POPE WAS UNFOUNDED AND UNBIBLICAL, THEREFORE, A LIE. IT WAS PAUL WHO ESTABLISHED, NURTURED THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN ROME, FULFILLING THE LORD’S WILL THAT PAUL BE THE APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES WHILE PETER TOOK CARE OF THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
Therefore, the Holy Roman Catholic Church lied at the very beginning. If there is a truth that we must expose about this false Peter, he was the Simon Magus (Simon the Sorcerer) who tried to buy the power of the Holy Spirit from the apostles Peter and John for pecuniary interest (Acts 8:18-24). He wanted to commercialize religion. And if you ask why is the Catholic Church charging her services from birth to death, and why is she accepting money (bribes in the guise of donation) secretly from evil gambling lords, drug lords, prostitution lords, and other sin-dycates – you have there the answer: she is making business out of religion, accepting money in return for her being mute against the wickedness of some of her sons who victimized the majority of her children, while in the outside she wears the clothing of a merciful pro-poor ministers, a champion of their cause, defender of the poor!
If there is anything to serve as a reason why the writer of the Acts allocated verses in the 8th chapter of Acts to talk about Simon Magus, the reason was this: Simon Magus renamed himself Peter when he took over the Church of Rome after the death of the original apostles including Paul and Peter, and turned the Church into a commercial church. Money-making or riches was the main aim of this now perverted church! That was the aim of the Spanish missionaries who came to the Philippines. It was not the salvation of our souls, but our rich natural resources and our women. This statement of truth exposed first by Rizal pierced the Spaniards, not into guilt, but into anger. That is why they executed him at Bagumbayan, December 30, 1896.
Rizal was foremost concerned of the education of the Filipinos, that is, their inner spiritual-mental liberation through education of the mind and heart. He was not more concerned of the physical liberation from Spain that was why he did not support the KKK-led revolution. For Rizal understood that physically driving off the Spaniards from our land would not make us better off if our minds are not freed from the falsehood and lies (read: sins and vices) as well as ignorance of the truths that the Spaniards had caused in our minds and hearts.
And so Rizal proved to be correct, some 100 years from the KKK revolution. We are not yet free! We are captive and prisoners to all sins and worse vices, many of them were spread by the Spaniards. The Spanish germs (laziness, pride and greed in the form of vice of gambling) have become a nationwide epidemic and even institutionalized and televised (e.g., lotto)! Imagine the move to privatize all good businesses such as the NAPOCOR so that the Government can concentrate (read: monopolize) on vice businesses, through the PAGCOR, Sweepstakes, and what other gambling corporations they will establish!
Alas, Christian brethren, those whom we allowed to sit in the seats of power – they are brazen devils – termites of the worst kind, eating up this nation until we are totally destroyed!
And you are still going to elect the same kind of character in the coming election!
The Catholic Church now is and has been the commercial church as Simon Magus, a.k.a. false Peter wanted her to be. Salvation is commercialized. Religion is business. If you have delved into the secret works of this church, you would find that she owns very large tracts of land that would better be given to the poor to end their sufferings. The no less than P 86 millions the Church collected every Sunday from the Philippines alone, was forwarded by the Church’s Vatican Bank to the World Bank/IMF in order to be loaned to all peoples in all nations, including them who gave it as freewill offerings, so that by the bank’s merciless policies, many of these poor donors and faithful got bankrupt, and their lands, farms and houses sequestered (they call it “foreclosed”) by the banks, and this is the cause of so much poverty, resulting many broken families, and the wives and daughters of these poor farmers were many of them forced into the cities and abroad into prostitution!
There is no need to go to the mountains to launch our rebellion against our mother church. The ongoing Seven Last Plagues (Revelation 16) are enough – will soon be enough to cause her prophesied downfall along with the beast (evil human government) – Revelation 17 & 18.
Instead, we should help our staggering mother. Deal the problem with compassion. The ongoing worldwide expose of her secret crimes including the sexual abuses of the poor is pushing her to financial and moral bankruptcy. Her priests and bishops and cardinals are facing litigations all over the world and her vast resources are draining out! She must come to realize that her former allies or lovers (that is, human governments) are now used by God to hasten her fall (Revelation 17:16-17).
It is high time we recognize our sins and ask the Lord for mercy and the last chance of salvation.
Our prayers and efforts should be in saving lives, not in killing. We have to help in the rescue operation, both physical and spiritual. “Thou shall not kill” but join in the saving of our fellow members who are to become casualties of these plagues! If we cannot save their bodies, we must strive to save their spirit by leading to Christ for his forgiveness and salvation.
And I wish you would join hands with the few of us who are striving hard to remove the dirts that have corrupted the church – those false teachings, those lies, those deceptive doctrines and un-approved traditions Christ warned us beforehand.
WE have to remove the evil motive adopted by the church, namely: financial exploitation – financial riches!

Below are the details to further show you that Paul, not Peter, took care of Gentile churches including the Church of Rome which later was renamed, after her apostasy, Holy Roman Catholic Church.
Matthew 10:5-7 – the 12 original apostles, to be led by Peter were instructed not to go to the Gentiles, Romans included, but to the Lost Tribes of Israel who were scattered all over Europe, Australia and the Americas.
Acts 9:15, 22:14-15 – Paul, not Peter, was chosen apostle to the Gentiles. Rome was Gentile.
Acts 22:17-18 - Paul was not acceptable to the Jews.
Acts 22:21 – Paul was sent by the Lord to the Gentiles. It is no denying that Rome was and is Gentile (that is, non-Jewish, or non-Israelite) the church of Rome belonged or was classified as Gentile church because it was composed of Gentile converts, not Jewish converts, to Christianity. Hence, under Paul’s jurisdiction, being the apostle or shepherd of the gentiles. Not under Peter. True, there were few Jews in Rome, converts or not, who were probably mostly businessmen by trade (Acts 28:17-28). But they were of course a small minority and must have left Rome after the Roman emperor Claudius (A.D. 41-54) decreed that all Jews leave Rome (Acts 18:2).
Acts 10-11 – the opening of salvation to the Gentiles was done through Peter; but after this, Paul was chosen to go to the gentiles after Peter got the Lord’s declaration that the Gospel is to be preached to the Gentiles and the road to salvation opened to them and it is to the Jews (Israelites). Peter went to the first Gentile converts, Cornelius and his household. After that, Paul took over the task to the Gentiles.
Acts 9:1-19 – Paul met Christ, and received the calling and experienced conversion.
Galatians 1:17 –Paul went to Arabia.
Paul’s Itinerary after his conversion:
Acts 9:19 – At Damascus, they tried to kill him because of his zeal for the Lord. Acts 9:26 – After 3 years, he went to Jerusalem (Galatians 1:18). 15 days with Peter (Galatians 1:18).
Acts 9:30 – To Caesaria and to Tarsus.
Acts 11:25 – At Tarsus

Acts 13:51 – 14:5 – In Iconium
Acts 14:6-20 – In Lystra and Derbe.
Acts 14:21-28 – from Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, then through Pisidia to Pamphylia and Perga, Attalia, then back to Antioch.
Acts 15:6-11; Galatians 2:1 – 14 years later, last scene of Paul with Peter at the Council at Jerusalem.

Acts 17:16-34 – In Athens.
Acts 18:1-17 – In Corinths – Jews and Greeks – v. 4-6. Paul fed up of the Jews and declared once again: “From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” It seemed that perhaps due to his love for his fellow Jews, Paul did not yet fulfill to the letter God’s will to concentrate to the Gentiles.
Acts 18:2 – Emperor Claudius ordered the Jews to leave Rome.
Acts 18:18-28 – to Ephesus to Ceasaria to Antioch to Galatia and then Phrygia;

If she could lie to us, her children, about a basic truth, would it be harder for her to be a liar in other matters, including perhaps the way to salvation? Do you believe that vices including gambling are the ways or means to our salvation? Do you think it is acceptable to God as a way to salvation to combine church mass in the church and perya (gambling) in the public market during fiestas? And why the cock beside St. Peter’s statue which has become the gamblers’ patron saint and inspiration especially during procession? Is it not a subtle bait to make people become friendly and then willing slaves to the evil vice of gambling? You are too deceived to have seen that gambling is a Leviathan in sheep’s clothing and has done irreparable damage to the soul and morality of the nation. Its target is the foundation: replace industry (work, diligence) with laziness, and from laziness sprang all kinds of evils. For by laziness, we broke the 4th commandment about diligent work 6 days a week, by which we should derive our needs and achieve our dreams, and because instead of diligence, we became lazier, therefore, we proceeded to break the commandments to honor parents’ advice, not to steal, not to lie, not to kill, not to engage in sexual immorality or use sex as a means to attain one’s ambitions, not to covet and such other evil means. Work, and not those aforementioned prohibited means, is the way to success, riches and happiness. In the work-commandment, we are to fully use the 6 days for work, and none whatsoever for gambling. We may play for diversion or relaxation, but it is wrong to use (money) bets as well as some other deceits and make harmless game into a spiritually harmful gambling as a means to earn a living or to prove you are better than others, hence, pride. You have to be wiser than you are by measuring gambling whether it passes the test ‘You shall know by their fruits. A bad tree bears bad fruit; a good tree bears good fruit. It cannot be otherwise.” So, you look around in the neighborhood and in your own home, and then, all over the country, what has gambling wrought upon our families and nations.
Be a better thinker. It will do you good! Measure the vice of gambling against the law “You shall love the Father your God above all in the persons of the poor and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Are you, by gambling, able to love God through His poor people? Or are you not hindered from helping the poor by your gambling vice? Are you, by gambling, able to love your neighbor or you hurt many wives and children when you defeated your opponents, their husbands-fathers? Are you not hurting your own wife and children when you lost? Your wife and children belongs to ‘self’ which you also are taught by Christ to love as you love your neighbor.
And where is the Church’s biblical proof that our Catholic fiestas are Christ-commanded? You say tradition? And so we are hit by Christ’s own judgment which says, “You followed the rules and tradition of men and by that you replaced God’s will and rejected His commanded holy days!”
It is time for you to know what gambling really is – spiritually. It is worse than the crime of murder! It is worse than the crime of adultery! Why? Because gambling breaks all 10 commandments, not just one or two, and secondly, because gambling harms so many people, not just one or a few! So, if there is one sin that needs to be rooted out as a priority in our war against evils, it is gambling, because gambling is, in its essence, love of money (first sin) combined by laziness (sin No. 2) and it comes with pride (sin 3). These three spiritual ingredients make up a powerful poison. Love of money, Paul says, is the root of all evils. Laziness, too, Jesus once said, is a root of all evils. And pride was the main evil that caused Lucifer and his angels to rebel against God. So, if you have laziness, love of money (and all splendor and pleasure that money can buy) and you have pride developed during gambling sessions, then, you are not on the right path to salvation. But you are a candidate for salvation, precisely because you are not yet saved in that situation – from the slavery of sin, which gambling is a three-fold kind!
And it is gambling, along with drunkenness, that the Spaniards, as false ministers, (except a handful of them) imparted to the pliable ignorant minds of the Filipinos. Jesus said that the Filipinos were better off morally and spiritually before the Spaniards came; they became worse after they came and brought evil vices mixed with religion!
You do not have to doubt that. You see the results for yourself! You see to ourselves --- we are the fruits of this perverted religion corrupted by those evil ministers!

Her fall is imminent. Her sins are reaching heaven. We are forewarned by God Himself: “Come out of her [system of disorder and confusion, distorting God’s wise and loving Order such as seen in Nature] My people, lest you will get involved in her sins and partake of her plagues” (Revelation 18:4).
