Study Guide 1 for the Gospel of Luke 

This will be posted to accompany Programs #4 & 5 and subsequent programs in which Pastor Jim deals with the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary.

We are introducing a new outreach to Catholic visitors to our TFW Facebook page. After a quick discussion of Pastor Jim’s teaching (listen to the program for a fuller understanding), we will be announcing our special offer to Catholic visitors.

Pastor Jim: “The Roman Church got it very wrong in their translation of the original Greek language in the scholar Jerome’s Latin Vulgate edition. In Luke 1:28, the angel Gabriel says, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” However, the words were mistranslated to imply that Mary herself was the source of that grace instead a mere recipient. 

This translation error (and others) eventually led the Catholic Church to exalt Mary to nearly the 4th Person of the Trinity, claim that she was (like Christ) also immaculately conceived, and that she is a Mediatrix (intercessor). This is Mariolatry (idolatry of Mary), and it’s the Devil’s diversion.”

If you are a Catholic visitor to our Facebook page, we would like to offer you some free information about the true way of salvation. This is a pilot program, and you must reply by email and provide the following information:

Please indicate what type of information you’d like to receive. We are primarily using former-priest Richard Bennett’s resources from his website. We will send a sample of one of these to you free of charge.

Would you like to read a tract or a book?

Would you like to read testimonies of former priests or former lay Catholics?

Please send the request (and answer the above questions) to [email protected]. This is a limited time and limited resource offer.
