Ex-Catholic teacher Mike Gendron, teaches on the similarity between Roman Catholicism and Islam
He says that Catholicism has more in common with Islam than with evengelicalism. What they share is autocratic leadership, a false Jesus, anti-Semitism, reverence for Mary, belief in the messages of the Apparitions of Mary, works-righteous salvation, and more. He sees them as combining to become the global religion in the Tribulation period of the Last Days., following the removal of the true Christian Church in the Rapture. He apparently sees the papacy as the False Prophet of Revelation 13, the beast with the horns of a lamb, who commands that the world worship the beast identified as the Antichrist.
Historically Islam and Romanism were understood by some to be the two legs of the statue in Ne3buchadnezzar's dream of Daniel 2, the two legs of iron representing the Roman Emppire well in the future in Daniel's day -- something Gendron doesn't mention. Islam supplanted the eastern half of Christendom at the same time that the bishop of Rome was elevated to ruler over the western Christian church and western Christendom itself which was dubbef the Holy Rpmoan Empire.
Both also have a policy of killing those who reject their teaching. The fact that beheading is the cause of the martyrdoms desribed in Revelation 6 suggests to some that Islam will be the agent of the Inquisition during the Tribulation period, because beheading is their method of choice, although Roman Catholicism itself had murdered some 67 million dissidents over 600 years of their reign in the Middle Ages, including some 50 million Christians.
So there are many reasons to link the two religions for a last days global nightmare religion, and Gendron does a nice job of describing their doctrinal similarities. It looks to a lot of us like this could all come together very soon.
Jesus' death alon4e suffice4s for the complete salvation of any who turn to Him, without works of any sort, without deserving it in the slightest, just by acknowlledging your sins and repenting of them, recognizing that He is God and that He gives salvation freely.
