Vicarivs Filii Dei is not 666!

Vicarivs Filii Dei is not 666. Why? Let us see the REAL equation of Vicarivs Filii Dei. First of all, let's have a lesson about Roman numerals. 

In Roman numerals, we can repeat I (value of 1) or any letter (except L and D) only 3 times. 

e.g. VIII, XIII, XVIII, VI, VII, XI, XII, XXX
Incorrect: VIIII, XVIIII, XXIIII, XXXX

In Roman numerals, when the letter which have higher value comes first than the second letter, we add.

e.g. VI, XI, MI, DI, DII

In Roman numberals, when the letter which have lower value than the second letter, we subtract.

e.g. IV, IX, IM, ID

Now, here is the REAL equation of Vicarivs Filii Dei:



Note: All the letters in blue means they have no value in Roman numerals.

What's the meaning of the 73 books in the Catholic Bible? And what is the meaning of 66 books in the Protestant bible?

Holy Bible, the Word of the Almighty God.

Many have been wondering what is the meaning of the 73 books in the Roman Catholic Apostolic Bible. First of all, the correct number of books in the Bible is 73 (including the Deuterocanonical Books). Why the Protestants didn't accept the 7 Deuterocanonical Books? The answer to that is, the Protestants only want Hebrew written not Greek written. Thanks to St. Jerome for translating it to Latin and called the Vulgates. Here are some questions with their answers:
What is the perfect number in the Bible?
ANSWER: 7
How may persons are there in the Holy Trinity?
ANSWER: 3
That's is the meaning of the 73 vooks of the Roman Catholic Apostolic Bible. But,what is the meaning of 6? 6 is an unpleasing number for God. 6 is non-sense for the Bible. so:

6 (non-sense) + 6 = VERY NON-SENSE!!!

Rosary in Protestantism.

The Our Lady of Fatima with the Holy Rosary.

There are many anti-Catholics especially the Protestants (commonly in the Baptist denomination) is attacking the Rosary. But they don't even know that their Churches also believes in the Rosary and the adopted it. Like the Anglican church and the Lutheran church. Rosary in the Anglican church:
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosary#Usage_in_Anglicanism
Most Anglicans, among other Christian denominations, patronize the Anglican Rosary, although the use of the Roman Catholic Rosary is fairly common among Anglicans of Anglo-Catholicchurchmanship. Many Anglo-Catholic prayer books and manuals of devotion contain the Roman Catholic Rosary along with other Marian devotions. The public services of the Anglican churches, as contained in the Book of Common Prayer, do not directly invoke the Blessed Virgin or any other saint in prayer, but Anglicans are free to do so in their private devotions. Anglicans who pray the Roman Catholic Rosary tend not to use the Luminous Mysteries or the Fatima decade prayer.
There is also a chaplet in use among some Anglicans that consists of four "weeks" of seven beads each, on which a variety of different prayers may be said. Though this is sometimes called the "Anglican rosary," it is not to be confused with the Holy Rosary of Our Lady as prayed by Anglicans and other Western Christians.
Rosary in the Lutheran church:

The Lutheran Church encourages its members to pray the rosary. However, though the Church follows the same format of the rosary as the Roman Catholics, each "Hail Mary" is replaced with the "Jesus Prayer". The only time the "Hail Mary" is said is at the end of the mysteries on the medal, where it is then replaced with the "Pre-Trent" version of the prayer (which ommits "Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death"). The final "Hail Mary" can also be replaced by reciting of either the Magnificat, or Martin Luther's "Evangelical praise of the Mother of God".

What is an angel Biblically? Does it fit Felix Manalo?

Felix Manalo on the cover of the Pasugo magazine.

The Iglesia ni Cristo (or the Philippine Church of Christ) claims that Felix Manalo, the founder of their church, is an angel. First of all, what is an angel? According too the Bible, an angel is:
"[9] Of the angels he says, 'He makes his angels wind, and his servants flames on fire'. [14] Are not all angels spirits in the divine service, sent to serve for the sake of those who inherit salvation?" - Hebrews 1:9, 14 (NRSV-CE)
The verse clearly says that angels are spirits and winds, they are not people that can be touched. Felix Manalo is a man that can be touched. In short, Felix Manalo is a concrete noun. But the Bible clearly says that angels are cannot be touched, smell, or taste etch. There is no such thing as angel & man. An angel is a spirit not a man!

Mary as Queen of Heaven and the Book of Jeremiah.

Another art of the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

I saw another attack against the Blessed Virign Mary being the Queen of Heaven. Protestants are using this verse to attack the Blessed Virgin Mary:
"The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink-offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger." - Jeremiah 7:18 (NRSV-CE)
The title "queen of heaven" used here is different from the Queen of Heaven (which is the Blessed Virgin Mary).  The queen of heaven mentioned there in the verse is not the Virgin Mary. If the Virgin Mary is not the queen of heaven here then who? According to Wikipedia...
Quoted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asherah
The Book of Jeremiah written circa 628 BC possibly refers to Asherah when it uses the title "queen of heaven" in chapters 7 and 44.
Here are some reasons why the Blessed Virgin Mary is not the queen of heaven on Jeremiah chapter 7:
  • The Virgin Mary is not mentioned straight in the Old Testament.
  • It refers to goddess Asherah not the Blessed Virgin Mary.
  • Mary is not a goddess.
  • Even the name "Mary" didn't appear on the Old Testament (in the Douay-Rheims, the name Mary refers to prophet Miriam)
That's all for now. Be blessed :)

Prayer to Mary, Queen of Heaven.

The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Queen of heaven, rejoice. Alleluia. The Son whom you were privileged to bear, Alleluia, has risen as he said, Alleluia. Pray to God for us, Alleluia. Rejoice and be glad, Virgin Mary, Alleluia. For the Lord has truly risen, Alleluia. 

O God, it was by the Resurrection of your Son, our Lord
 Jesus Christ, that you brought joy to the world. Grant that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, his Mother, we may attain the joy of eternal life. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
