Abe Arganiosa
The Roman Catholic priest Abe Arganiosa is a big disappointment. One would expect so much more from a supposedly “learned”, “schooled”, “educated” person. And yet, judging from his blog entries, Mr Arganiosa is all show and no substance. For a view of this amazing let down, read on:
Misinterpretation of Scriptures
He was talking about bible interpretation and claimed the the church, his church the Roman Catholic church is the official interpreter of the bible. Yeah right! To be honest and blunt, there’s not a single Roman Catholic doctrine that is based on the teachings of the bible, let alone the Lord Jesus Christ. And not only are the doctrines of the Roman Catholic church NOT biblical, they go against teachings written in the bible. I’ve already enumerated a few in this blog which have not been refuted by any catholic defender. Let’s name a few:
- Bowing and worshiping idols
- Forbidding to marry
- Commanding to abstain from eating meat
And who can forget the biggest snow job in the history of mankind, the doctrine of the trinity! Their own websites admit and confirm that the trinity doctrine is not biblical, therefore it is an addition and replacement to the teachings of the Apostles.
In Scripture there is as yet no single term by which the Three Divine Persons are denoted together. The word trias (of which the Latin trinitas is a translation) is first found in Theophilus of Antioch about A.D. 180. He speaks of “the Trinity of God [the Father], His Word and His Wisdom (To Autolycus II.15). The term may, of course, have been in use before his time. Afterwards it appears in its Latin form of trinitas in Tertullian (On Pudicity 21). In the next century the word is in general use. It is found in many passages of Origen (“In Ps. xvii”, 15). The first creed in which it appears is that of Origen’s pupil, Gregory Thaumaturgus. In his Ekthesis tes pisteos composed between 260 and 270

Why the need for saints?
Canonization Ceremony
First, let’s define who saints are and what makes them saints. In particular, catholic “saints”. Catholic saints are another form of a money making scheme developed by the Roman Catholic. If one would look into how someone becomes a saint it would be evident that it involves money. A lot of this money goes to the Vatican. So basically if you’re foreign to the Vatican Hierarchy, you need to have a lot of money and are willing to spend it if you wanted to be “sainted”. Miguel Arroyo, the Philippine presidents husband is now in the process of making one of his aunts a saint. Let’s hope it doesn’t involve government money intended for the poverty stricken flood victims. But I digress.
Mr Arganiosa mentioned a few names whom he said were saints and said these are not to be set aside. Curious thing is that he did not provide any basis as to why these names are saints and what their role is in the worship of God. Again let’s consult newadvent.org, a catholic website. It says:
Patron Saints – A patron is one who has been assigned by a venerable tradition, or chosen by election, as a special intercessor with God
You read it right! Catholic saints are supposedly “special intercessor” with God, or another “mediator”! A special one at that! Does this agree with the bible? Absolutely not! Here:
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
As you can read, there is only ONE mediator between God and men, and it is the Lord Jesus Christ. Can anyone be more special than the Saviour? Ask Abe that.
God created Himself?
This has to be the most absurd statement ever made. Mr Arganiosa claims God made himself into a man. This is so wrong in so many points so let’s see a few of them for Mr Arganiosa’s benefit.
- God will not be man because He said so Himself.
- Jesus Christ, whom catholic claim is also God said there is ONLY ONE God the Father in Heaven. So to even think that God became Jesus is absurd.
- Jesus Christ died on the cross. God is immortal
There you go. A few things to answer Abe Arganiosa’s preposterous claims. I sure hope he learns something.

Yup, thats hilariously lame. No, doubt about that.
Just to explain further: No church nor any other organizations has done what the Catholic Church has done to help God’s people. We all are humans prone to errors in our own individual lives but to judge a religious organization who, for the most part, has done more good than harm is evil in itself. God loves the sinners but not their sins and God will continue to protect his Church from the devil until the end of time and this was written in the Holy Scriptures. It’s not worth fighting one another. At the end of the day, only goodness and kindness will truimph because where there is kindness, there is Christness.
Hi again Viel,
I’m sure you’re right there are some good things that the Catholic church has done. But you have to admit the Catholic church also did some very unpleasant things.
As far as my blog article about Mr Arganiosa, if you read it you would understand that it’s about him and Catholic doctrines and not about what the Catholic church has or has not done.
You talk about kindness and yet you failed to notice Mr Arganiosa’s lack of it. Come on now, at least be fair in your assessment.
come again “No church nor any other organizations has done what the Catholic Church has done to help God’s people.”
And what would that be? God’s people had only one God and that is the Father. the catholics introduced a teaching quite contrary to what the bible teaches.
What help are you referring? For God’s people then never knew of PURGATORY, or USE OF THE ROSARY. Should we thank the Catholics for misleading God’s people?
Sure humans are prone to errors. But not when it comes to the teachings clearly written in the bible. where does it say that the Catholics had the right to impose the atrocities of the Inquisition? subjecting their own to TORTURE is not an error dear.
Its was clearly IMPOSED by the Catholic authorities then. Of course no one has a right to judge any organization. But remember they are simply judge by THEIR OWN ACTIONs.
The Catholics abandoned the name of Christ and exchanged it for the Catholic name. Is that act, an act of a true christian?
I don’t think so
Bro. Noel, you can’t fight ignorance. Prayers, lots of prayer is what they need so that they will be enlightened.
Hi Viel,
you probably failed to notice but Noel thinks I’m a follower of Soriano, which I’m definitely not. I actually have a lot of blog articles about Soriano, click here. Who’s ignorant now?
For Noel:
What has logic got to do with this blogger’s personality?
Do you even have the intellect to pin point the “ilogical write up’s” in this article that you’re talking about?
Surely you can’t deny this facts written in the pages of Catholic history.
And who’s Atty. LLaos? I hope his not that Catholic defender who change the whole page of the Confraternity bible just to prove that your Catholic church is written in the bible. Imagine that?
PURE DECEPTION. Watch it, it’s in YOUTUBE. And you’ll realize how semilar your Catholic defender’s DECEPTION is to that SERPANT who DECEIVED Eve.
To tell you honestly, your Catholic defenders does not deserve the honor to have a debate with our Ministers. But still, our Ministers are more than willing to face any of your Catholic defenders in a debate.
email me if you really want your Atty. LLaos put to shame by one of our Ministers: ryan_exist@yahoo.com
I’ll be waiting. Let’s see who’s COWARD now…
COWARD. . .COWARD . . . COWARD. . . HOW COULD THE READERS BELIEVE TO YOUR ILLOGICAL WRITE UPS THAT YOU COULD NOT EVEN UNMASKED YOURSELF. . . COME’ON TAKE OUT YOUR DEVILISH MASK AND THE CFD ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO HAVE AN OPEN DEBATE. . . THEY ARE WAITING NOW. . . HOW ABOUT THE DEBATE CHALLENGE TO YOUR BRO. RAZON TO FACE ATTY, LLASOS OF DFF? WHERE IS YOUR ANSWER CHICKEN ? ? ?
This is the tamest of all the spam I get so I decided to approve it. Enjoy.
