Upside down Cross

[debelynne]

Ok...call me nieve...I never have known that much about the catholic church...but I do know that an upside down cross is a satanic symbol...and here it is represented on the Pope's chair...Don't get me wrong I think everything the Pope does is wrong, but can't the everyday lay man see this symbol and know somethings wrong with the catholic faith? I was told that the upside down cross is in remembrance of the disciple Peter's upside down crucifixion, but even so when was Peter ever suppose to be remembered in death, wasn't it suppose to be our Wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ himself only?....just sharing...scary stuff...Sister Debbie

However, God said,
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isa 5:20

It's not just the error of Catholicism, but of all false religion and the false philosophies of the world. Paul, speaking of Jesus said, "Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world..." Gal. 1:4a

When antichrist comes, he will dupe even the very religios with his words and deeds. Most people of the Earth sing the praises of the Pope. They forget that the Catholic church has made many decrees requiring the destruction of all apostates (that's us!) and they have NEVER reversed those decrees, or erased them out of their books.

We know Rome will, yea, is even rising again as we speak. The foot notes in the Geneva Bible, translated by the Reformers called the Pope the antichrist even back in the 1500's. We must also be cautious of her Protestant daughters, for most of them rose up, betrayed, and persecuted our forefathers with bloody persecution.

Food for thought,

Dear Brethren,

I was reading on the site, bereanman posted, I was reading about the R. C. church and I came across this article, it reminded me of this old forgotten thread. As I read I came across sister Glendas post, this article explains what she was courious about this symbol being called christian by some, ( Glenda knew it was not a christian symbol though. ) Here is an explaination of the symbol not being christian! Enjoy!

Dear Friends:

A quick note concerning the pics of the pope/antichrist with the inverted
cross on his chair. I received an email from a reader that said the
upside down cross is an ancient "Christian" symbol. The brother who sent
me the antichrist pic received something similar. Let's look at a quick
breakdown. The reader said,

"...the up-side-down-cross that we usually associate with Satanism is
really an ancient Christian symbol. Tradition claims that Peter was close
of denying Jesus AGAIN when persecution came upon the Church in Rome.
Well, he didn't, but was caught by the Romans. He managed to convince his
killers to crucify him upside down, since he didn't feel worthy to be
exalted by the same death as his Master..."

The following is my modified response--

"I've never heard or seen the upside down cross associated with anything
other than Satanism. People who know anything about symbols immediately
identify it with Satanism, not Romanism or its myths they call 'tradition'.

"Even if the upside down cross were originally some Romish invention to
trick people into believing Peter was in Rome it has RIGHTLY turned itself
into a Satanic symbol because it was founded on a LIE. Satan is the father
of lies, John 8:44. There is no biblical evidence that Peter [died in Rome]
on an upside down cross...

Jesus told Peter by which death he would glorify God and it sho' don't
sound like no upside down cross in Rome--

John 21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou
girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt
be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee,
and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
21:19 This spake he, SIGNIFYING BY WHAT DEATH HE SHOULD GLORIFY GOD. And
when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

...I perceive that through the centuries there have been many Romish
historians and prolific Romish writers (especially Jesuits) that have
woven the most fantastic (not as in good, but as in huge), intricate fairy
tales you've seen in your life--but these fairy tales are believed and
consign men to a burning hell.

When Rome lies about the death of Peter and then claims
she represents Christ, she MOCKS Christ saying "The LORD shall not see,
neither shall the God of Jacob regard it," (Psalms 94:7).

When Rome calls Peter the foundation of the church and a "pope", she MOCKS
Christ saying, "The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob
regard it," (Psalms 94:7).

When Rome makes a symbol of Jesus' execution (Ex. 20:4) and inverts it,
twists it, turns it on its head, she MOCKS Christ saying, "The LORD shall
not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it," (Psalms 94:7).

To which the Psalmist says in Psalm 94:8-10 "Understand, ye brutish among
the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear,
shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth
man knowledge, shall not he know?"

Just as Christians are working out their salvation, the damned are working
out their damnation telling and believing lies. We fear not at a
disobedient, rebellious, lawless, crooked generation. God sees it all.
He formed the eye and planted the ear. He sees and hears IT ALL. We
commit ourselves to Him and occupy until He comes. At the great judgment
day all that is done in darkness shall be exposed to the light.
Hellbounds who are reading this, you need to get right with God...

The Catholic religion calls herself "Mother Church". She's a mother
alright, but she ain't the mother of Christ's church. By calling herself
"mother" she is telling on herself. She is THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH (Rev. 17:5)! Notice the Catholic religion calls
herself a woman. And what a GREAT WHORE she is committing spiritual
fornication with the kings and rulers of the earth. She's DRUKEN with the
blood of the saints--study the Inquisitions and read Revelation 17 in
light of that knowledge. Oh, even the antichrist is naked in light of
God's word.

WARNING: I've heard the upside down crucifixion story a number of times
in churches and even read it. We must look narrowly on all that comes our
way. Revisionist historians make up and rewrite history with all ease.

BOTTOM LINE: The purpose of me sending email is to provide info for those
who may run into Romish people that will insist that this symbol speaks to
the afore mentioned lie. Romanists are easily tricked. When you receive
not the love of the truth, God gives you over to strong delusion that you
should believe lies, and lies only.

That symbol was not put in that chair to tell the world that Peter was
crucified upside down. That is not how the world views that symbol (at
least those of us that can see). That symbol was put on that chair to
tell every Lucifer-worshipping, Beelzebub-worshipping, Satan-worshipping,
devil-deceived, new age, hellbound, profane person that the show is on!
Lights, cameras, action! We're right here in Israel with worldwide
coverage! The fools is tricked!

I'm working on the Antichrist Slideshow and am looking forward to
publishing it on the website. In it, I plan to have some examples from
Satanic sources of the inverted (upside down) cross and perhaps some
additional commentary.

[UPDATE: upside down crucifixion is one of the tortures papistry
used on during the Inquisition (1) see the book "Pastor Jacob
Primmer in Rome", Dunfermline Citizen office, London,
J. Kensit, Paternoster Row, E.C., W. Wileman, Bouverie Street,
Fleet Street, E.C., sixth edition, 1912) and (2) Martyrology by
Samuel Clarke circa 1651 as well as various illustrations of
Inquisition tortures.]

..I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them,
Thus saith the Lord GOD. And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them,
neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee,
and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be
dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

Ezekiel 2:4, 6


***EXCERPT FROM HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH***

The first of these imperial persecutions with which the Martyrdom of Peter and Paul is
connected by ECCLESIASTICAL TRADITION, took place in the tenth year of Nero's reign...
