The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines
"iconoclast" as follows:
Function: noun
Etymology: Medieval Latin
iconoclastes, from the Middle Greek eikonoklastEs,
literally, image destroyer, from Greek eikono–
klan to break.
1: a person who destroys religious
images or opposes their veneration
2: a person who attacks settled beliefs
or institutions
|
|
|
|
In essence, an iconoclast is someone who destroys religious images (idols).
At The Iconoclast, we declare that an iconoclast is
also one who challenges long–held beliefs and
world–views (known as paradigms)!
|
|
|
|
At The Iconoclast, it is our goal to present the
truth only as we see it!
We make no apologies for holding to a paradigm
that fully embraces Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus, the Jewish Messiah)
as KING and REDEEMER, but neither do we apologize for desiring
to have open minds to discover truths where we also may not
have previously ventured. We invite YOU to join us
in this venture!
We absolutely reserve the right to be wrong and to learn
from our mistakes, to be flexible in our our thinking, and
yet we are self-assured that Yeshua our King is True, knowing
and expecting that He will lead us in our continued pursuit of truth!
The Iconoclast website is dedicated to the unadulterated pursuit of truth.
Yeshua said, "I am the truth,
the way and the life. No man comes to the father except by me." (John 14:6)

Basic Tenets of
The Iconoclast:
|
| |
- We live in an age of Deception!
- The Roman Catholic Church fulfills the Biblical prophecies
that directly associate it alone as the last dominate world
"empire" (essentially, it is the continuation of the
original Roman Empire — as foretold in the Book of Daniel)!
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
- While many 'Protestants' consider that 'the
Roman Catholic church' is 'just a denomination in error',
at The Iconoclast we hold to no such delusion! In spite
of its grandiose claim 'that it is the true church',
'the Roman Catholic church' was NOT EVER led by the
Ruach HaKodesh of YHVH (God's Holy Spirit) — it has NEVER
been a part of Yeshua's community of faith!
|
|
|
|
-
Just look at the two photos of the pompous pagan 'popes' above —
'the Roman Catholic church' calls them 'vicar of christ',
meaning substitute, in place of, 'Jesus Christ' on earth!
It is highly significant to know that the place where the 'popes'
dwell, the Vatican [taken from the classical Latin root
Vaticanus] means "house of divination",
i.e. dwelling of demons!
-
If our tenet that 'the Roman Catholic church' (State,
Institution, Empire) is the same“Empire”
that Daniel spoke of, is correct, it should be expected that it
is this same Roman [Catholic] Empire which has perpetrated its
deceptive views of history upon the entire world.
-
Of course, that deception would also negatively impact all of
'Christianity', i.e. the “Protestant”
Churches (it should be noted how the Protestant/Evangelical
Churches have taken (as their own, without challenge) Roman
Catholic false doctrines, such as "Sunday (aka
first day) Sabbath" replacing the Sabbath Day (Seventh Day
of the Week), the pagan sun–god birth celebration
transformed into "the birth of Christ" (i.e. Christmas,
"the Mass of Christ"), the celebration of the pagan
fertility goddess, Eshtar (aka Easter) in the place of Passover,
and many other such abominable doctrines and tenets)!
-
The Roman Catholic church DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
Saul of Tarsus, aka 'Paul',
Was Not A True Apostle of Yeshua ha Mashiach!
-
To understand the nature of our mortal enemies, we must understand
how contemporaries of Yeshua HaMashiach viewed history,
particularly that of the universal flood in Noah's day.

We Live In An Age Of Deception!
|
|
False Information Abounds — True Faith is rare!
("When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the
earth?" — Luke 18:8b)
You should expect a shameless revision of history! It is
evident that ancient manuscripts were destroyed and other distortions
of history were presented to keep truth from YOU.
Thus, much of what you may accept as "truth" may actually
be lies and distortions!
How often have you heard it said that "Christians"
were responsible for "The Crusades"? The fact is that there
were Crusades, Inquisitions, etc., but they were not done by True
talmidim (followers) of Yeshua HaMashiach. Those unspeakable horrors were
carried out at the behest of official
edicts of the Roman Catholic Church alone —
including the 600 years of Inquisition, sanctioned by at least 75
continuous popes — and 50 million persons were killed without mercy.
To Those Who Have Ears To Hear: those who do not
believe in Yeshua B'Natzeret (Jesus of Nazareth) — and that
He arose from the dead — cannot discover this, but The Almighty
God (YHVH) Has Given True Talmidim (followers) of Yeshua HaMashiach
The Opportunity To Seek And To Know The Truth!

The Roman Catholic "ABOMINATION"
(aka Empire/Church/State/Institution)
fulfills Biblical prophecies concerning
The Last Dominate World Empire —
IT IS THE KINGDOM OF
“FEET OF IRON AND CLAY”
foretold in Daniel 2
|
|
|
|
In just the same way that there is no other historical figure that
can possibly be the true Mashiach of YHVH (Anointed of YHVH —
the Messiah foretold, not only by character but also time of appearance,
by the Hebrew prophets) other than Yeshua B'Natzeret, there is no
other historical entity that represents the extension of the Roman
Empire (the 4th Kingdom in Daniel's prophecy) other than the Roman
Catholic Church!
Historically speaking, can you think of any other "entity"
responsible for the deaths and persecutions of so many souls?

The Roman Catholic church Actively
Participated In Atrocities And War Crimes With Nazi Germany!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not well known is the fact of the Roman Catholic active participation in
the untold horrors of genocide of non-Catholics in the former Yugoslavia and
the Balkans (not to mention its friendship with Adolph Hitler and Benito
Mussolini during the war)! For more information on the Roman Catholic
sponsored holocaust in Croatia, click the following link:

Serbs were forced to convert to Roman Catholicism:
|
|
(Source: http://www.tenc.net/vatican/cpix.htm)
|
|
The Nazi-like Croatian Ustashi state, set up immediately after the Nazi German
invasion of Yugoslavia, was based on fanatical Roman Catholicism.
Orthodox Christian Serbs who refused to convert were butchered in their
villages, or at the Jasenovac death camp, or thrown into mountain crevaces.
Hitler referred to the Ustashi as
"Our Nazis."

"It
is the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against
Antichrist, and as to what Antichrist is no sane man ought
to raise a question. If it be not the popery in the Church
of Rome there is nothing in the world that can be called
by that name. If there were to be issued a hue and cry
for Antichrist, we should certainly take up this church
on suspicion, and it would certainly not be let loose
again, for it so exactly answers the description."
-- Charles H. Spurgeon |
