Confuting Protestantism’s Biblical Boo-boos Part I
By Jeanne d’Arce
Impossible deeds for the god of Protestantism
Protestantism’s most grievous
biblical boo-boo was that they underestimated the infinite power of God. The Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is
replete with testimonies and emphasis on the omnipotence of God, and yet the
Protestants don’t believe them.
According to their perverted doctrines, they taught that the following deeds
were beyond the finite power of their fake impotent god:
1. It was impossible
for God to have a mother.
2. It was impossible
for God to create and preserve His own immaculate and sinless Mother.
3. It was impossible
for God to maintain the perpetual virginity of His own Mother.
4. It was impossible
for God to assume the body and soul of His own Mother into Paradise.
5. It was impossible
for God to honor His own Mother by making her the Mother of all and the true
Queen of Paradise.
6. It was impossible
for God to make His own Mother His sublime helper in His Salvation Plan for
mankind.
7. It was impossible
for God to send His own Mother as His ambassadress to His chosen souls.
8. It was impossible
for God to appear and communicate with His favored ones.
Contrary to the
Protestantism’s skeptical views of the infinite power of God, the following Bible
verses positively testified on the ABSOLUTE ALMIGHTINESS OF GOD:
Nothing is impossible to God:
JER 32:17 Ah,
Lord GOD, you have made heaven and earth by your great might, with your
outstretched arm; nothing is impossible to you.
JER 32:27 I am
the LORD, the God of all mankind! Is
anything impossible to me?
MT 19:26 Jesus
looked at them and said, "For human beings this is impossible, but for God
all things are possible."
MK 10:27 Jesus
looked at them and said, "For human beings it is impossible, but not for
God. All things are possible for
God."
LK 1:37 "For
nothing will be impossible for God."
LK 18:27 And he
said, "What is impossible for human beings is possible for God."
God is Almighty:
TOBIT 3:16 At
that very time, the prayer of these two suppliants was heard in the glorious
presence of Almighty God.
2MACC 8:18
"They trust in weapons and acts of daring," he said, "but we
trust in almighty God, who can by a mere nod destroy not only those who attack
us, but the whole world."
2MACC 11:13 But
Lysias was not a stupid man. He
reflected on the defeat he had suffered, and came to realize that the Hebrews
were invincible because the mighty God was their ally. He therefore sent a message.
ISA 10:21 A
remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
All-power belongs to God:
JDTH 9:14 "Let
your whole nation and all the tribes know clearly that you are the God of all
power and might, and that there is no other who protects the people of Israel
but you alone."
2MACC 3:24 But
just as he was approaching the treasury with his bodyguards, the Lord of
spirits who holds all power manifested himself in so striking a way that those who
had been bold enough to follow Heliodorus were panic-stricken at God's power
and fainted away in terror.
MT 28:18 Then Jesus
approached and said to them, "All power in heaven and on earth has been
given to me.
More Perverted Protestantism’s Opposition to the Almightiness of God
Ang Dating Daan, a
breakaway splinter group from the mainstream Protestantism, openly questions
the absoluteness of the infinite power of God.
Their founder, one Eliseo Soriano, boasts in their radio and TV programs
that God is neither omnipresent nor omnipotent.
He said God is not omnipresent because He cannot be found inside the
septic tank. He further vouch that not
all things are possible to God, that is, God cannot lie – quoting this verse
without analyzing its deeper meaning:
HEB 6:18a So
that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie.
With the false
teaching of Eliseo Soriano, many souls were made to believe that God, after
all, was not that almighty.
At first glance, “Nothing
is impossible to God (cf JER 32:17)” seems contradicted by “It was impossible
for God to lie (cf HEB 6:18a).”
Both statements are
the truth of God and yet their apparent contradiction defies human logic. But let’s try to unravel such mystery.
God is the God of
truth who does not lie (cf ISA 65:16; TI 1:2; 1PT 2:22); whereas, Satan is a
liar and the father of lies (cf Jn 8:44).
Hypothetically, if God tells even a single lie, then Satan becomes His
father. Such a very grim scenario is
definitely and infinitely impossible to occur.
Thus, the statement “It was impossible for God to lie” was indisputably
correct.
Here’s another way of
understanding the aforementioned so-called contradiction:
Digesting JER 32:17,
27 and LK 1:37 above, we have: “Nothing is impossible to God.”
Digesting MT 19:26,
10:27 and LK 18:27 above, we have: “All things are possible for God.”
Analyzing the two
resultant statements; one is just another way of saying the other one.
Treating HEB 6:18a in
similar manner: “It was possible for God not to lie” is another way of saying
“It was impossible for God to lie.”
Thus, the statement was never intended to mean, “It was possible for God
to lie.”
“It was possible for
God not to lie” jibes perfectly with, “All things are possible for God,” as in,
“All things are possible for God, including not to lie.” Ergo, HEB 6:18a was not a contradiction after
all, but rather, a supplementary to, “Nothing is impossible to God.”
Two More So-called “Impossible” to God
It was impossible for
the Lord God Jesus Christ (Rev 1:8) to be held by death:
ACTS 2:24 But
God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was
impossible for him to be held by it.
In the last paragraph
of our Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we find yet one thing “impossible”
to God, but also in the positive scheme of things like Acts 2:24 above:
Sacred heart of Jesus,
I know that there is but one thing impossible to You: to be without pity for
those who are suffering or in distress.
Look upon me, I beg of You, dear Jesus, and grant me the grace for which
I humbly implore You, through the Immaculate Heart of Your most sorrowful
Mother. You have entrusted me to her as
her child, and her prayers are all-powerful with You. Amen.
Of course, another
way of saying it is in this wise:
Sacred heart of Jesus, I
know that there is also one more thing possible to You: to be with pity for
those who are suffering or in distress.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the Protestantism’s
perverted doctrine of a sham god with finite powers falls flat to the ground
and constitutes a very destructive heresy:
2PT 2:1 There
were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers
among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who
ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.

Excerpts from:
A letter of Dr. José Rizal, National
Hero of the Philippines
3. Rizal, Leipzig, 22 August l886
Tagalog vocabulary by Blumentritt - Rizal wants to
meet Kern - And to buy books in Vienna - He will study Dutch "because the
Dutch have written much about us" - The friars.- Worldly and heavenly
riches - "For our estates they would give us heavenly ones." - If
Blumentritt could study life in our vil- lages - Christianity is more grand and
sublime in Europe. Catholicism is more beautiful than Protestantism.
Leipzig,
22 August 1886
Dear Sir: You know our country
through the books written by the friars and Spaniards who copied one another.
If you had grown up in our villages as I had and had seen the sufferings of our
country folk, you would have a very different idea of Catholicism in the
Philippines. I have had an opportunity to study the religions in Europe. There
I found Christianity beautiful, sublime, divine; Catholicism attractive,
poetic, the same Christianity, poetized and beautified, more beautiful than the
insipid Protestantism. Our country folk do not know these differences.
Pardon my frankness which may perhaps seem to you
strange for not having heard such a thing before. Perhaps you remember
Lessing's fable about the boy and the serpent. Each one writes his history
according to his convenience.
Very
sincerely yours,
José Rizal
