WEBVTT 00:25.490 --> 00:28.630 My name's Tom Friess and I'll be your host for the next hour. 00:28.870 --> 00:31.590 You're listening to FirstAmendmentRadio .com. 00:31.730 --> 00:32.750 Thanks for tuning in. 00:33.630 --> 00:38.850 We'll continue now in the book by Dave Hunt entitled, A Woman Rides a Beast, 00:38.930 --> 00:40.090 on page 400. 00:41.210 --> 00:46.270 Where yesterday we concluded our discussion of the reign of Bloody Mary and 00:46.270 --> 00:51.930 the martyrdom of Latimer, Ridley, and Cranmer, true Bible-believing 00:51.930 --> 00:52.790 Protestants. 00:53.250 --> 01:00.990 And the memorials included an X in the street marking the very spot of their 01:00.990 --> 01:04.370 martyrdom and the plaque associated with their martyrdom. 01:05.190 --> 01:12.430 And the statement that the persecutions against true Bible-believing Protestants 01:12.430 --> 01:19.510 by Bloody Queen Mary prepared England to receive the true faith of the Gospel. 01:20.870 --> 01:26.590 And her immediate successor was her half-sister, Elizabeth I. 01:26.750 --> 01:29.330 And that's where we begin our discussion this morning. 01:29.910 --> 01:37.130 Under the subtitle, Rewriting History, Dave Hunt writes, Mary was succeeded on 01:37.130 --> 01:37.510 the throne. 01:37.590 --> 01:42.330 This is Bloody Mary, the persecutor of the saints of God in England. 01:43.450 --> 01:50.070 Bloody Mary was succeeded on the throne by her half-sister, Elizabeth, who turned 01:50.070 --> 01:55.190 England back to Protestantism, ending the Pope's power on English soil. 01:56.390 --> 02:03.070 A refreshing breath of freedom was blowing across the land, and it had to be stopped. 02:03.070 --> 02:09.430 The Pope vented his rage from Rome, confident that his vast army of loyal 02:09.430 --> 02:15.610 subjects, reinforced with promises of plenary indulgences, would do his bidding. 02:16.890 --> 02:23.490 As already mentioned, on February of 1570, Pope Pius V pronounced Queen Elizabeth a 02:23.490 --> 02:29.910 heretic, deprived her of her kingdom, forbade her subjects to obey her, 02:29.910 --> 02:33.890 and excommunicated all who remained loyal to her. 02:34.970 --> 02:39.250 But Elizabeth, and most of England, simply ignored the Pope's fulminations. 02:39.690 --> 02:40.910 Wouldn't it be wonderful? 02:42.070 --> 02:47.530 Wouldn't it be a blessing from God if the truth finally soaked in, and all the 02:47.530 --> 02:53.430 people and all the kings of the earth just simply ignored the Pope's fulminations? 02:54.290 --> 02:55.970 What could the Pope do? 02:57.410 --> 02:58.010 Nothing. 03:00.550 --> 03:02.910 But the world has rejected the Gospel. 03:04.610 --> 03:09.310 The world seeks religion, and they find it in the Roman Catholic Church. 03:10.290 --> 03:15.890 And so the horrors and persecutions of Rome continue to this day, only on such a 03:15.890 --> 03:19.270 scale that no one recognizes it for what it is. 03:19.270 --> 03:20.790 World wars. 03:21.610 --> 03:23.850 That's how Rome does her biddings today. 03:25.230 --> 03:30.850 Continuing, he says, Many of Rome's fanatical zealots, however, were inspired 03:30.850 --> 03:34.410 to attempt to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I. 03:35.050 --> 03:41.250 The plot was uncovered, the conspirators were arrested, and about 120 priests and 03:41.250 --> 03:43.130 60 laity were executed. 03:44.130 --> 03:49.770 These were not persecuted believers, martyred for their faith, but 03:49.770 --> 03:53.450 revolutionaries, executed for treason. 03:54.830 --> 04:00.410 Ironically, these traitors are honored each year as the English Martyrs, 04:00.430 --> 04:05.530 as they are called, while the hundreds consumed in the flames for their faith in 04:05.530 --> 04:08.830 Christ under Catholic monarchs are forgotten. 04:10.090 --> 04:15.670 To mention evangelicals martyred for their faith would offend Catholics and threaten 04:15.670 --> 04:17.750 the ecumenical dialogue with Rome. 04:18.270 --> 04:20.390 So history is being rewritten. 04:21.530 --> 04:30.270 The martyrs of the Reformation are, in effect, being mocked by evangelical 04:30.270 --> 04:35.370 leaders who now join with Rome in a new spirit of mutual trust and cooperation. 04:36.790 --> 04:41.130 Author Michael Disemlian writes with passion from England. 04:41.390 --> 04:42.430 Listen to what he says. 04:42.550 --> 04:44.950 I've read his book right here on Inquisition Update. 04:45.150 --> 04:46.790 I highly recommend it. 04:48.930 --> 04:54.570 Quote, Many of us were brought up to believe that the martyrs of our faith were 04:54.570 --> 05:02.650 those who died in the fire, unwilling, unable, and unwilling to compromise their 05:02.650 --> 05:03.910 trust in the scriptures. 05:04.830 --> 05:11.450 But in November of 1987, in uncharacteristic fashion, the serious 05:11.450 --> 05:17.910 newspapers, TV, and radio were giving prominent coverage to, quote, the honoring 05:17.910 --> 05:20.470 of English martyrs, unquote. 05:21.270 --> 05:26.410 We were startled to discover that they referred to 85 Roman Catholic, 05:26.710 --> 05:31.230 quote, heroes of resistance to the Protestant Reformation, unquote. 05:32.270 --> 05:37.250 These men were beatified by the Pope in Rome in the presence of the Anglican 05:37.250 --> 05:40.810 Bishop of Birmingham, Mark Santer, unquote. 05:42.330 --> 05:46.390 Disemlian informs us that, quote, At the time of the extensive press 05:46.390 --> 05:53.650 coverage in 1987, the beatification of the 85 English martyrs, the London-based 05:53.650 --> 05:58.790 United Protestant Council sent the following to all English newspapers, 05:59.510 --> 06:01.650 yet none printed any part of it. 06:02.290 --> 06:13.590 Now look, the mainstream media lauded these traitors, Roman Catholic traitors, 06:14.530 --> 06:20.150 who intended to overthrow the legitimate government of Elizabeth I. 06:21.070 --> 06:23.770 They were championed as martyrs. 06:24.630 --> 06:26.390 They were not martyred for their faith. 06:27.150 --> 06:30.130 They were executed for treason. 06:33.530 --> 06:41.730 And when the Protestants tried to set the record straight, the press wouldn't cover 06:41.730 --> 06:42.090 it. 06:43.730 --> 06:45.670 Control the press in England. 06:46.270 --> 06:47.610 Now here's what they said. 06:47.750 --> 06:50.290 Here's what the Protestants said. 06:51.950 --> 06:58.410 No one who is concerned for historical truth can be satisfied with the claim by 06:58.410 --> 07:03.950 the Roman Catholic Church that the 85 English subjects that have been beatified 07:03.950 --> 07:09.450 by the Pope were martyrs, which means that they suffered for their faith alone. 07:11.050 --> 07:12.550 They were not martyrs. 07:12.630 --> 07:15.210 They did not suffer at all for their faith alone. 07:15.370 --> 07:17.910 They suffered because they were treasonous. 07:18.930 --> 07:23.190 They attempted to overthrow the legitimate monarch of England. 07:25.090 --> 07:26.410 Not for their faith. 07:26.630 --> 07:27.830 They were not martyrs. 07:28.390 --> 07:31.650 And yet they were portrayed in the mainstream media as martyrs. 07:34.050 --> 07:40.550 It continues, he says, The 288 martyrs who were put to death during Queen Mary's 07:40.550 --> 07:45.170 first five-year reign suffered solely for their faith. 07:46.530 --> 07:51.870 They were condemned on purely religious charges, being principally that they 07:51.870 --> 07:54.730 refused the doctrine of transubstantiation. 07:55.990 --> 08:01.010 They never denied that Mary was the lawful Queen of England, nor maintained any of 08:01.010 --> 08:06.610 her open foreign enemies, nor procured any rebellion or civil war. 08:07.450 --> 08:10.510 They did not sow sedition in secret places. 08:11.710 --> 08:16.310 Such charges of treason, however, were legitimately brought against those 08:16.310 --> 08:20.830 Roman Catholics who were put to death under the reign of Elizabeth I and 08:20.830 --> 08:26.770 succeeding monarchs, and whose names are included in the recent list of those 08:26.770 --> 08:28.810 beatified by the Pope of Rome. 08:30.150 --> 08:34.990 No Roman Catholic was executed in the first 11 years of Elizabeth I's reign, 08:35.650 --> 08:41.070 prior to Pope Pius V inciting all Roman Catholics to rebellion, commanding them 08:41.070 --> 08:44.130 not to obey her on pain of excommunication. 08:44.990 --> 08:51.010 It's an unchallengeable fact that no Roman Catholic was executed solely on account of 08:51.010 --> 08:52.230 his religious beliefs. 08:52.230 --> 08:58.430 The truth is that most of those laymen beatified were put to death for assisting 08:58.430 --> 09:02.190 the seminary priests in their design to bring down the throne. 09:03.270 --> 09:09.630 63 of the 85 English martyrs, as they are called, were seminary priests trained 09:09.630 --> 09:16.030 abroad and sent back to further the plots of the Pope to undermine the English 09:16.030 --> 09:16.530 throne. 09:17.590 --> 09:22.110 These had been stepped up after Pope Gregory XIII's sanction of the 09:22.110 --> 09:27.770 assassination of Elizabeth in 1580, and the organization of the Spanish Armada 09:27.770 --> 09:29.950 invasion of England in 1588. 09:30.990 --> 09:35.410 With this background in mind, it's impossible to agree that these men were 09:35.410 --> 09:37.870 martyrs in any proper sense of the word. 09:38.530 --> 09:43.830 On the contrary, what the Church of Rome is engaged in doing is glorifying 09:43.830 --> 09:46.230 traitors, spies, and conspirators. 09:48.190 --> 09:49.830 That's the truth of history. 09:51.570 --> 09:56.250 The Protestants who died in England died for their faith, for denying 09:56.250 --> 10:02.690 transubstantiation, the so-called power of the priest to change the wafer into the 10:02.690 --> 10:05.190 literal blood, body, soul, and divinity of Christ. 10:05.270 --> 10:10.430 It's an abomination, and they rightly refused it, and denounced it, and 10:10.430 --> 10:11.850 condemned it as heresy. 10:12.810 --> 10:18.030 They were burned for their speech, religious speech. 10:19.590 --> 10:27.390 But the martyrs that are glorified in the press in England today were traitors, 10:28.570 --> 10:30.390 pure and simple. 10:31.610 --> 10:33.970 And now they're rewriting history. 10:37.460 --> 10:43.000 Under the subtitle, The Reformation Betrayed, Dave Hunt says, It seems 10:43.000 --> 10:47.600 inexplicable that the English, of all people, carefully avoided any 10:47.600 --> 10:52.400 mention of genuine martyrs, and instead honored seditious traitors. 10:53.120 --> 10:58.580 When George Carey was enthroned as the new Archbishop of Canterbury in April 1991, 10:59.620 --> 11:05.220 he reached far back into England's pre-Reformation past to praise by name 11:05.220 --> 11:09.120 some of the Catholic Archbishops of Canterbury. 11:09.120 --> 11:15.280 In doing so, he deliberately passed over many of his predecessors in that office 11:15.280 --> 11:21.160 who had firmly stood against the evils of Rome. 11:25.580 --> 11:33.220 Most conspicuous by its absence was any mention of the first Protestant Archbishop 11:33.220 --> 11:38.060 of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, martyred for the very faith which Carey 11:38.060 --> 11:39.500 had sworn to defend. 11:40.560 --> 11:46.700 History is sacrificed on the altar of ecumenism as an oblation to Rome. 11:47.880 --> 11:56.960 No sacrifice is too great to further the quote-unquote unity movement that is 11:56.960 --> 12:01.060 drawing the non-Catholic Church back under the authority of the Pope. 12:02.200 --> 12:07.580 Recently, the Duchess of Kent, seven Anglican bishops and more than 700 12:07.580 --> 12:10.900 English clergymen converted to Roman Catholicism. 12:11.880 --> 12:17.340 The same historical revisionism is being practiced by American evangelical leaders 12:17.340 --> 12:22.340 who dishonor the memories of those who preserved the gospel with their own blood. 12:23.880 --> 12:27.380 Catholic apologists in America promote the same revisionism. 12:28.720 --> 12:34.760 Peter Kreeft writes of the noble Catholic martyrs, but doesn't explain that they 12:34.760 --> 12:37.920 were executed for treason, not for their faith. 12:37.920 --> 12:42.780 And he never mentions the far more numerous martyrs slain by Catholics, 12:43.740 --> 12:48.860 an omission all the more inexcusable when found in a book that purports to argue for 12:48.860 --> 12:49.300 the truth. 12:50.380 --> 12:56.200 Such an omission is scarcely recognized by one in a thousand Protestants for the 12:56.200 --> 13:02.880 misinformation it is, and is instead passed on as truth by evangelical leaders. 13:04.240 --> 13:09.740 While Rome pretends to have changed, and thereby deceives many evangelicals, 13:10.340 --> 13:16.000 Roman Catholic apologists like Carl Keating, Jerry Metathyx, Scott Hahn and 13:16.000 --> 13:21.420 Thomas Howard, and others, are stepping up their efforts to educate Roman Catholics 13:21.420 --> 13:26.200 against what they boldly claim are errors of the evangelical gospel. 13:27.540 --> 13:33.480 The Pope himself is in the forefront of the denunciation of the evangelical faith 13:33.480 --> 13:40.320 to Catholic audiences, while he tells the so-called separated brethren of his love 13:40.320 --> 13:42.420 and desire for unity with them. 13:44.380 --> 13:50.320 What about this lovey-dovey dialogue now established between the ecumenical 13:50.320 --> 13:55.060 evangelicals who have renounced Christ and made their bed with the whore of Rome? 13:55.060 --> 13:57.660 What about this lovey-dovey dialogue? 13:59.360 --> 14:04.180 Dave says we are told to love one another as Christ has loved us. 14:05.460 --> 14:11.240 Pop psychology trivializes that command by equating it with a quote-unquote positive 14:11.240 --> 14:11.920 attitude. 14:13.500 --> 14:16.540 Forgotten is the first duty of love. 14:16.960 --> 14:20.920 What is the first duty of love according to the scriptures? 14:21.880 --> 14:25.500 The first duty of love is to speak the truth. 14:26.540 --> 14:29.100 Ephesians chapter 4 verse 15. 14:30.240 --> 14:32.600 You know, I'm speaking to my listeners now. 14:32.740 --> 14:34.440 So many people criticize me. 14:34.560 --> 14:37.120 They say, Tom, you just don't sound very loving. 14:40.200 --> 14:42.180 But that's because I tell you the truth. 14:44.300 --> 14:50.500 And that is the first duty of love as God defines love in the scriptures. 14:51.500 --> 14:53.140 To tell the truth. 14:56.790 --> 15:05.910 Real love does not flatter or soothe when correction is needed, but points out the 15:05.910 --> 15:09.690 error which is blinding and harming the loved one. 15:11.090 --> 15:16.850 Jesus Christ said, quote, As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. 15:17.950 --> 15:20.110 Be zealous, therefore, and repent. 15:20.110 --> 15:23.150 Revelation chapter 3 verse 19. 15:24.070 --> 15:30.690 Instead, the idea is now current that love excludes rebuke, ignores the truth, 15:31.390 --> 15:33.630 and seeks unity at any price. 15:34.710 --> 15:36.990 Only disaster can result. 15:37.630 --> 15:39.150 And you know what that disaster is? 15:40.050 --> 15:41.450 The ecumenical movement. 15:42.490 --> 15:45.690 And you know what that is in God's heavenly house? 15:46.570 --> 15:48.570 It's the last straw. 15:49.770 --> 15:51.510 The last straw. 15:54.670 --> 15:59.590 Eugene Daniels, World Vision International Senior Advisor for Church Relations 15:59.590 --> 16:05.310 recently said, quote, We discovered that we could work with the Roman Catholic 16:05.310 --> 16:10.510 Church in terms of the spiritual needs of the people in much the same way that we 16:10.510 --> 16:12.910 have traditionally worked with the Protestant churches. 16:13.610 --> 16:14.150 Unquote. 16:15.150 --> 16:20.110 Other major evangelical ministries that have been working with Catholics as fellow 16:20.110 --> 16:25.210 Christians include Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Charles Colson 16:25.210 --> 16:31.970 Prison Fellowship, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Campus Crusade for Christ, 16:32.770 --> 16:39.130 Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship, Youth with a Mission, Wycliffe Bible 16:39.130 --> 16:40.470 Translators, and others. 16:41.470 --> 16:47.710 Obviously, this recent development, peculiar to our generation, peculiar to 16:47.710 --> 16:54.930 our generation, is extremely significant and is gaining momentum as Rome increases 16:54.930 --> 16:58.450 its campaign to present itself as evangelical. 16:59.590 --> 17:01.950 Trust me, Rome is not evangelical. 17:02.850 --> 17:05.590 You know how Rome promotes her religion? 17:06.230 --> 17:13.010 Not by reasoning in the scripture, but by getting a hold and control of the 17:13.010 --> 17:19.330 governments of the nations and then forcing Roman Catholic law upon the people 17:19.330 --> 17:26.970 and making Roman Catholicism the state-sponsored religion to the exclusion 17:26.970 --> 17:27.890 of all others. 17:28.510 --> 17:30.950 That's evangelism from Rome. 17:31.770 --> 17:34.950 It's not included in the gospel. 17:35.750 --> 17:36.890 God is not a tyrant. 17:37.750 --> 17:43.450 And this evangelism by Rome has been demonstrated all throughout her history. 17:44.230 --> 17:45.190 It defines her. 17:46.010 --> 17:47.150 Convert or die. 17:47.770 --> 17:48.470 That's Rome. 17:49.250 --> 17:50.930 That's what's going to happen in this country. 17:51.710 --> 17:52.610 Convert or die. 17:53.030 --> 17:57.150 You either sign up to the Pope's New World Order or you're going to die. 17:57.810 --> 18:00.530 That's what Rome has in store if God doesn't intervene. 18:01.090 --> 18:02.970 That's Rome's evangelism. 18:03.490 --> 18:10.650 Now, why would any clear-thinking, Bible-knowledgeable Christian have 18:10.650 --> 18:15.490 anything whatsoever to do with the beast? 18:17.690 --> 18:23.970 A Christian with the love of Christ in his heart would be willing to forgive past 18:23.970 --> 18:28.350 history, even of oppression, torture, and death. 18:29.530 --> 18:34.170 But forgiveness has not been asked, nor has any wrong been admitted by the 18:34.170 --> 18:35.190 Roman Catholic Church. 18:36.150 --> 18:41.350 As for the present, Rome's dogmas have not changed, and her false gospel is still 18:41.350 --> 18:44.670 sending souls to eternal judgment by the millions. 18:45.710 --> 18:48.910 The salvation of souls is the great issue. 18:49.170 --> 18:52.750 How man can be forgiven and assured of eternity in heaven. 18:53.290 --> 18:54.610 All else is secondary. 18:56.250 --> 18:58.250 Catholicism is a counterfeit gospel. 18:59.090 --> 19:04.330 No amount of dialogue can change that fact, but only set the stage for the 19:04.330 --> 19:05.610 eventual compromise. 19:07.030 --> 19:09.050 That's what ecumenism is. 19:09.990 --> 19:11.330 And you know what's compromised? 19:12.090 --> 19:16.130 The gospel of Jesus Christ, the very means for salvation. 19:18.150 --> 19:18.870 Dialogue. 19:19.310 --> 19:20.010 What a word. 19:20.370 --> 19:27.250 Dialogue is the proper, or rather the popular folly, unheard of in the days of 19:27.250 --> 19:28.630 the martyrs. 19:28.810 --> 19:29.530 Dialogue? 19:30.670 --> 19:35.250 It was either bow to Rome's imperious authority and accept her false gospel 19:35.250 --> 19:38.530 without question, or else die at her hand. 19:39.750 --> 19:42.530 Nor has Rome changed in her dogmas. 19:43.050 --> 19:49.070 Though she has had to change her tactics, Vatican Council 2 clearly states that 19:49.070 --> 19:51.250 Rome's teachings are irreformable. 19:53.690 --> 19:58.390 That's right, in the very ecumenical council that is lauded as peace and unity 19:58.390 --> 20:05.270 with Protestants, Rome redoubled her insistence that she is irreformable. 20:05.270 --> 20:11.350 That's because she is the synagogue of Satan, and the pope is the vicar of Satan 20:11.350 --> 20:11.950 himself. 20:12.970 --> 20:14.710 He's not the vicar of Christ. 20:15.290 --> 20:17.370 This is a counterfeit Christianity. 20:17.950 --> 20:22.750 It's the great apostasy, the great delusion, the strong delusion, 20:23.670 --> 20:26.390 and we must recognize it for what it is. 20:26.890 --> 20:33.390 Let her dogmas and laws and her popes and her history and her bloodshed define her 20:33.390 --> 20:36.070 just exactly the way the scriptures do. 20:37.110 --> 20:43.490 And what unity or dialogue should there be between God's people and the whore of 20:43.490 --> 20:43.850 Rome? 20:47.520 --> 20:55.080 Her agents in these dialogues insist that in the final analysis, the Roman Catholic 20:55.080 --> 20:57.100 Church is the only true church. 20:57.780 --> 21:04.220 That it has the sacraments which lead to salvation, and that it can never share 21:04.220 --> 21:06.040 this distinction with others. 21:07.720 --> 21:10.040 Thank you, I appreciate that. 21:11.520 --> 21:15.740 I don't want to share the distinction of the Roman Catholic Church. 21:20.230 --> 21:28.930 The purposes of dialogue is to draw, is to lure, to woo the separated brethren 21:28.930 --> 21:31.490 back under the pope. 21:32.490 --> 21:37.150 Clearly the road upon which evangelicals have set foot. 21:38.670 --> 21:43.970 In January of 1986, the Roman Catholic Church and 29 Protestant denominations 21:43.970 --> 21:50.510 announced, quote, plans for a nationwide evangelistic effort called Congress 88, 21:51.130 --> 21:51.670 unquote. 21:52.690 --> 21:57.690 The steering committee included members from many Protestant denominations. 21:59.010 --> 22:00.630 Listen to this. 22:01.730 --> 22:06.670 Would the Apostle Paul have joined the Judaizers in evangelization? 22:07.790 --> 22:12.030 In 1992, an ecumenical team of 19 U.S. 22:12.190 --> 22:18.010 religious leaders met with Pope John Paul II, quote, to explore possibilities for an 22:18.010 --> 22:22.870 international interfaith effort to combat child and hard pornography, unquote. 22:23.870 --> 22:28.670 Would Luther and Calvin have joined the Papists to fight immorality? 22:29.410 --> 22:30.870 Of course not. 22:31.530 --> 22:37.510 Because morals, and even the solution to social ills, cannot be divorced from the 22:37.510 --> 22:37.950 gospel. 22:40.130 --> 22:46.690 Two major articles, 13 pages in total, in the February 1992 Bookstore Journal, 22:47.310 --> 22:53.050 the official publication of the Christian Booksellers Association, urged members to 22:53.050 --> 22:56.950 cultivate Catholic customers as brothers and sisters in Christ. 22:58.310 --> 23:03.310 Tragically, this will prevent the gospel Catholics need to hear from being given to 23:03.310 --> 23:03.530 them. 23:04.350 --> 23:09.450 Even some leading evangelical watchdog groups, which otherwise do a commendable 23:09.450 --> 23:14.530 job of warning the Church of false doctrines and cults, lose their cutting 23:14.530 --> 23:19.600 edge when it comes to Roman Catholicism, and Christian media is becoming a major 23:19.600 --> 23:20.900 promoter of compromise. 23:22.240 --> 23:27.060 On Trinity Broadcasting Network, the largest Christian television network, 23:27.580 --> 23:32.820 network founder Paul Crouch, recently deceased, and popular televangelist and 23:32.820 --> 23:40.940 faith healer Benny Hinn, declared that Roman Catholic doctrine is no concern. 23:41.740 --> 23:48.020 For after all, Catholics, quote, love Jesus, unquote. 23:49.300 --> 23:54.480 But then, so did Gandhi, and so do many Muslims, to say nothing of Mormons and 23:54.480 --> 23:55.600 Jehovah's Witnesses. 23:56.320 --> 23:57.280 But what Jesus? 23:58.380 --> 24:04.500 The Bible warns of another Jesus, and another gospel, and Rome surely has 24:04.500 --> 24:04.900 both. 24:05.720 --> 24:11.000 On another program, Crouch told two priests and a leading Roman Catholic 24:11.000 --> 24:16.220 laywoman who were guests, and I'll give you the quote after the break. 24:16.640 --> 24:18.640 You're listening to First Amendment Radio. 24:18.820 --> 24:20.020 This is an Inquisition Update. 24:20.160 --> 24:21.220 We'll be right

prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world 25:19.300 --> 25:23.900 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will 25:23.900 --> 25:24.720 begin to be built. 25:25.420 --> 25:26.460 The plans are drawn. 25:26.620 --> 25:27.920 The Jewish people are eager. 25:28.540 --> 25:32.260 Most Evangelical Christians today believe that the rapture will happen before the 25:32.260 --> 25:33.220 Third Temple is built. 25:33.760 --> 25:35.200 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 25:35.680 --> 25:38.380 I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 25:39.020 --> 25:40.680 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 25:40.680 --> 25:44.260 Have we searched the Scriptures and found this to be true? 25:45.020 --> 25:48.580 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third 25:48.580 --> 25:49.440 Temple in Jerusalem? 25:50.140 --> 25:54.680 Is it necessary to build a temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome 25:54.680 --> 25:55.320 of the Rocks? 25:55.600 --> 25:59.700 Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the Temple on Temple Mount? 26:00.220 --> 26:03.500 Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation? 26:04.300 --> 26:05.780 What is the New Testament Temple? 26:06.580 --> 26:08.760 Can we identify history and prophecy? 26:09.420 --> 26:12.500 Who is the first beast in Revelation Chapter 13? 26:13.240 --> 26:15.780 Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17? 26:16.480 --> 26:20.100 I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book, 26:20.480 --> 26:24.940 When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using 26:24.940 --> 26:26.540 Scripture to interpret Scripture. 26:27.200 --> 26:30.680 The Bible says that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private 26:30.680 --> 26:31.400 interpretation. 26:32.220 --> 26:35.120 Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built, 26:35.120 --> 26:39.780 how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation. 26:40.740 --> 26:49.880 Visit crosstheborder.org to get your print, e-pub or PDF version of Nicholas 26:49.880 --> 26:53.120 Arthur's new book

forever. 29:11.860 --> 29:13.220 Thank you for listening. 29:30.780 --> 29:35.180 Now speaking of Paul Crouch's Trinity Broadcasting. 29:35.720 --> 29:41.320 For those of you who ever watched Paul Crouch, you realize that he had on his set 29:41.320 --> 29:44.560 regularly Roman Catholic priests. 29:45.840 --> 29:49.700 Whether they were in front of the cameras or not, there were regularly Roman 29:49.700 --> 29:51.200 Catholic priests on his set. 29:51.260 --> 29:53.460 Almost like overseers of the program. 29:54.560 --> 30:02.600 Now Paul Crouch, who is recently deceased, had on one of his programs two priests and 30:02.600 --> 30:07.060 a leading Catholic laywoman who were guests. 30:07.840 --> 30:08.960 And here's what he said. 30:10.300 --> 30:16.300 In the essentials of our theology, speaking of Evangelicalism and Roman 30:16.300 --> 30:17.160 Catholicism. 30:17.720 --> 30:21.960 In the essentials of our theology is basically the same. 30:22.840 --> 30:26.920 Some of these so-called doctrinal differences are simply matters of 30:26.920 --> 30:27.580 semantics. 30:28.780 --> 30:32.480 One of these things that has divided us, and in direct reference to 30:32.480 --> 30:38.360 transubstantiation, that which always resulted in martyrdom for those who 30:38.360 --> 30:39.100 denounced it. 30:41.060 --> 30:46.760 One of these things that has divided us, transubstantiation, all these years, 30:47.280 --> 30:48.180 shouldn't have. 30:48.760 --> 30:53.260 We were really meaning the same thing, but just saying it a little differently. 30:54.340 --> 31:00.920 So I say to the critics and theological nitpickers, be gone in Jesus' name. 31:02.320 --> 31:05.640 Let's come together with Rome in the spirit of love and unity. 31:06.760 --> 31:09.100 And with that, all the audience applauded. 31:10.780 --> 31:15.020 Even such admired evangelicals as J.I. 31:15.060 --> 31:21.320 Packer and Os Guinness have embraced Roman Catholicism as basically Christian. 31:22.300 --> 31:26.200 And advocate working with Catholics and evangelizing the world together. 31:27.080 --> 31:32.020 As is evidenced by their recent signing of the Evangelicals and Catholics Together 31:32.020 --> 31:32.600 document. 31:33.420 --> 31:38.300 One of the most highly regarded evangelical apologists, Norman L. 31:38.460 --> 31:44.340 Geisler, stated recently that Catholics quote, believe in justification by grace, 31:44.480 --> 31:44.880 unquote. 31:45.700 --> 31:49.160 And that differences between Roman Catholics and evangelicals, quote, 31:49.700 --> 31:51.900 are not as great as generally perceived. 31:52.020 --> 31:55.540 And they are not crucial, nor do they involve heresy. 31:56.120 --> 32:00.780 The whole theological core of historic Christianity is held in common, 32:01.220 --> 32:01.600 unquote. 32:02.600 --> 32:06.740 We've demonstrated that that is not indeed the case at all. 32:08.160 --> 32:13.220 One is Christ, the other is Antichrist. 32:14.460 --> 32:16.560 There should be no dialogue. 32:16.740 --> 32:21.760 The Bible says we should have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of 32:21.760 --> 32:22.240 darkness. 32:23.140 --> 32:25.080 But rather we should reprove them. 32:26.520 --> 32:32.280 But there's no reproof against Rome in the Christian churches of this country today. 32:34.990 --> 32:36.550 What a horror. 32:36.810 --> 32:42.290 It's going to have consequences that are scarcely perceived. 32:44.430 --> 32:47.130 And we're seeing those consequences today. 32:49.610 --> 32:56.030 And people never make the connection that this country is being judged by God 32:56.030 --> 33:00.110 because we've made our bed with His mortal enemy. 33:03.540 --> 33:08.840 Roman Catholicism, the biblical, historical, and prophetic Antichrist. 33:11.260 --> 33:12.220 What blindness. 33:14.180 --> 33:16.320 And God's simply not going to tolerate it. 33:18.120 --> 33:26.560 The martyrs of Jesus demand God's retribution against those who have 33:26.560 --> 33:31.420 repudiated the faith of Jesus Christ and the gospel. 33:33.920 --> 33:39.560 Ecumenism is the destruction of the United States of America because it is the 33:39.560 --> 33:41.680 destruction of Protestantism. 33:44.090 --> 33:49.190 Under the subtitle, The Unchanging Issue, Salvation of Souls, Dave writes, 33:49.190 --> 33:56.130 Some evangelicals, including Billy Graham and Louis Palau, have long pledged not to 33:56.130 --> 34:01.390 attempt to proselytize Catholics who, quote, usually make up the largest single 34:01.390 --> 34:06.610 denominational group, unquote, at Billy Graham's crusades. 34:07.910 --> 34:12.090 That certainly makes sense if Catholics are now considered to be Christians. 34:13.270 --> 34:18.610 The names of Catholics who come forward are turned over to local Roman Catholic 34:18.610 --> 34:20.090 churches for follow-up. 34:21.310 --> 34:25.470 Catholic bishops across the country announce that such crusades are the best 34:25.470 --> 34:30.590 means they know of to bring lapsed Catholics back into the Roman Catholic 34:30.590 --> 34:31.630 Church once again. 34:31.990 --> 34:36.370 Did you realize that Billy Graham was an operative for the Roman Catholic Church? 34:37.090 --> 34:45.210 That he would attract lapsed Catholics, seeking the gospel and the truth of Jesus 34:45.210 --> 34:45.830 Christ. 34:46.510 --> 34:53.030 He would draw them into his crusades, give them the gospel message, and then 34:53.030 --> 34:55.710 send them back to their Roman Catholic Church. 34:56.530 --> 34:57.330 Unbelievable. 34:58.330 --> 35:02.810 It would be unbelievable if it weren't so demonstrably true. 35:03.550 --> 35:07.570 I've told the story before, and I'll tell it again because it's very pertinent to 35:07.570 --> 35:09.150 this portion of the book. 35:09.890 --> 35:14.030 I was encouraged by my mother to go to a big meeting down in Des Moines, 35:14.510 --> 35:19.730 a place called Kingsway Cathedral, supposed to be an evangelical church, 35:20.630 --> 35:25.690 Pentecostal, and I was pressured by my mother because I was attending a Baptist 35:25.690 --> 35:30.450 church, and of course she thought I needed to be saved, and that means I needed to 35:30.450 --> 35:34.050 speak in tongues, and she desperately wanted me to go to that church, 35:34.430 --> 35:35.050 to that meeting. 35:35.850 --> 35:40.710 Well, I went to that church to satisfy my mother, and I heard a wonderful 35:40.710 --> 35:45.130 evangelical, or Protestant, Bible message. 35:45.470 --> 35:46.810 And I was moved in the Spirit. 35:47.650 --> 35:51.710 And I went forward with everyone else to support the gospel. 35:52.490 --> 35:55.170 And while I was at the front, they prayed for me. 35:55.270 --> 35:59.470 They singled me out, prayed for me, laid His hand upon me, tried to slay me in 35:59.470 --> 36:02.190 the Spirit, and my legs didn't crumble. 36:03.130 --> 36:08.830 And having failed in His attempt to slay me out in the Spirit, He then prophesied 36:08.830 --> 36:11.170 over me and said, You've been called into the ministry. 36:11.710 --> 36:17.230 Of course, He didn't bother to tell me at the time that the church actually had a 36:17.230 --> 36:23.970 college trying to recruit me into the college, obviously for pecuniary interests 36:23.970 --> 36:25.150 more than anything else. 36:25.670 --> 36:31.170 And I became more and more disillusioned, but nonetheless, after prophesying over me 36:31.170 --> 36:34.870 and calling me into the ministry, He gave me a card and said, Now go to the 36:34.870 --> 36:38.550 back of the church and meet with counselors at the back of the church and 36:38.550 --> 36:39.190 they'll help you. 36:39.830 --> 36:42.210 Assuming I was going to get signed up for college. 36:44.070 --> 36:48.770 Well, I went back to the back of the church, turned the corner through the door 36:48.770 --> 36:52.010 at the back of the church, and guess who met me? 36:52.690 --> 36:55.590 A fully frocked Roman Catholic priest. 36:56.190 --> 37:04.030 Stuck out his hand to shake my hand, and I began, as is my custom, to return 37:04.030 --> 37:07.170 the gesture and realize what I was doing. 37:07.870 --> 37:12.870 Withdrew my hand, spun around on my heel, and went out the door. 37:12.870 --> 37:22.050 Well, it turns out, after going to the car and sitting there, just trying to grasp 37:22.050 --> 37:28.590 what had just happened, I reached into my pocket and I drew out the program that I'd 37:28.590 --> 37:31.110 been handed when I entered the church for the meeting. 37:31.670 --> 37:34.810 I read the thing to find out what it was really all about. 37:34.810 --> 37:41.630 And at the very bottom were the initials of Billy, sponsored by the Billy Graham 37:41.630 --> 37:44.170 Evangelistic Association. 37:45.190 --> 37:50.530 Billy Graham didn't only evangelize Catholics and send them back to the Roman 37:50.530 --> 37:57.690 Catholic Church, but Billy Graham was sponsoring other evangelical churches to 37:57.690 --> 38:03.910 take lapsed Protestants, as it were, and send them to the Roman Catholic 38:03.910 --> 38:04.410 Church. 38:04.810 --> 38:06.750 Billy Graham was an operative. 38:07.610 --> 38:12.290 Billy Graham was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and I saw it with my own eyes. 38:12.970 --> 38:19.310 And I'm horrified that my mother was used in an attempt to Catholicize her son. 38:19.990 --> 38:25.430 Says Billy Graham, quote, We're delighted that the Roman Catholic Church now 38:25.430 --> 38:28.290 cooperates with us wherever we go, unquote. 38:29.070 --> 38:34.770 That cooperation involved about 400 Roman Catholic counselors in Billy Graham's 38:34.770 --> 38:38.930 mid-September 1990 crusade at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island. 38:39.590 --> 38:42.710 Roman Catholic counselors at a Billy Graham crusade? 38:42.750 --> 38:43.710 You must be kidding! 38:44.610 --> 38:46.230 I saw it with my own eyes. 38:46.730 --> 38:47.470 It's true. 38:47.470 --> 38:49.810 It's no calumniation. 38:50.370 --> 38:52.310 I saw it with my own eyes. 38:53.010 --> 38:59.370 When I came out of Kingsway Cathedral in Des Moines, Iowa, met face-to-face with a 38:59.370 --> 39:05.530 fully-frocked Roman Catholic priest, a Roman Catholic priest counselor at an 39:05.530 --> 39:09.750 evangelical assembly, and Billy Graham sponsored it. 39:09.750 --> 39:13.690 It says, The Local Roman Catholic Charismatic Renewal Office. 39:13.750 --> 39:15.490 Charismatic Renewal Office? 39:16.290 --> 39:18.870 Roman Catholic Charismatic Renewal Office? 39:19.370 --> 39:23.330 You mean Roman Catholics are saved because they speak in tongues too? 39:24.210 --> 39:28.610 Well, Roman Catholicism must be God's religion then, right Mom? 39:29.470 --> 39:37.550 Sorry to be disrespectful to my mother, but charismatism is not a sign of the Holy 39:37.550 --> 39:38.070 Spirit. 39:38.070 --> 39:43.490 The Local Catholic Charismatic Renewal Office announced that the crusade would, 39:43.850 --> 39:49.850 quote, provide opportunities for Catholics who attend to be reconnected to their 39:49.850 --> 39:53.730 parishes via Catholic Bible study, unquote. 39:54.550 --> 39:56.070 Catholic Bible study? 39:56.570 --> 40:00.250 If they studied the Bible, they would recognize, as did the Protestant 40:00.250 --> 40:04.870 Reformers, the Roman Catholic Church is the synagogue of Satan, and the Pope is 40:04.870 --> 40:06.790 the man of sin, the son of perdition. 40:06.790 --> 40:11.110 Why would any evangelical study the scriptures with Roman Catholics, 40:11.890 --> 40:16.110 who obviously are deceived, who have obviously twisted the scriptures, 40:16.510 --> 40:20.790 who obviously, whether they speak in tongues or not, do not possess the Holy 40:20.790 --> 40:25.290 Spirit, and cannot interpret the scriptures, cannot know the scriptures. 40:26.050 --> 40:32.230 The 1991 St. Louis Crusade was sponsored by the St. Louis Archdiocese, and involved 40:32.230 --> 40:34.610 300 to 400 parish volunteers. 40:34.610 --> 40:40.570 Upon receiving an honorary doctorate at Belmont Abbey, a Jesuit college, 40:40.710 --> 40:48.170 a Jesuit college, Billy Graham said, quote, the gospel that built this school, 40:48.670 --> 40:54.310 and the gospel that brings me here tonight, is still the way of salvation, 40:55.110 --> 40:55.470 unquote. 40:56.030 --> 41:03.190 Did anybody ever tell you that brother Billy Graham received an honorary 41:03.190 --> 41:05.810 doctorate from a Jesuit university? 41:06.250 --> 41:13.850 Do you know that Jesuit universities don't hand out honorary doctorates, unless the 41:13.850 --> 41:22.410 recipient of those doctorates have benefited in a signal way, the Roman 41:22.410 --> 41:23.210 Catholic Church? 41:23.210 --> 41:26.210 I've said this privately among friends. 41:26.310 --> 41:28.170 I'm coming out publicly with it now. 41:28.990 --> 41:35.730 I believe that after Billy Graham dies, some hierarch of the Roman Catholic Church 41:35.730 --> 41:41.090 in the United States is going to suggest to the Vatican that Billy Graham be the 41:41.090 --> 41:46.370 first evangelical beatified and canonized in the Roman Catholic Church as a saint. 41:47.030 --> 41:48.090 I'm not a prophet. 41:48.810 --> 41:49.890 I'm speculating. 41:49.890 --> 41:55.690 But based on what I've seen in the career of Billy Graham, and the incalculable 41:55.690 --> 42:00.270 benefit that he's brought to the Roman Catholic Church, the Roman Catholic Church 42:00.270 --> 42:03.890 owes it to Billy Graham to put him through the beatification process. 42:05.310 --> 42:07.130 To mark him for what he was. 42:07.810 --> 42:09.930 A wolf in sheep's clothing. 42:10.750 --> 42:12.370 A wolf in sheep's clothing. 42:12.370 --> 42:18.530 Satan is transformed into an angel of light, and so are his ministers 42:18.530 --> 42:22.190 transformed into ministers of righteousness. 42:23.270 --> 42:26.250 Billy Graham did not work for Christ. 42:27.050 --> 42:28.590 He worked for Antichrist. 42:29.430 --> 42:35.910 He said, the gospel that built this Jesuit school, and the gospel that brings me here 42:35.910 --> 42:40.470 tonight to this Jesuit school, is still the way of salvation. 42:40.470 --> 42:47.010 Still, it seems to me the way of salvation preceded the Roman Catholic Church and the 42:47.010 --> 42:47.730 Jesuit order. 42:48.470 --> 42:51.610 The way of salvation was Jesus Christ and him alone. 42:52.350 --> 42:58.950 Certainly, both those who were martyred and those who consigned them to the flames 42:58.950 --> 43:03.650 were convinced there was a great difference between Roman Catholic and 43:03.650 --> 43:05.490 Protestant views of salvation. 43:05.490 --> 43:07.710 There is a great difference. 43:08.250 --> 43:13.930 They are mutually exclusive, and neither can be reformed. 43:14.310 --> 43:19.130 No compromise can be made to the gospel, the true gospel of Jesus Christ. 43:19.850 --> 43:27.150 It will prevail even against the gates of hell, and the gates of hell is the Roman 43:27.150 --> 43:28.070 Catholic Church. 43:28.070 --> 43:33.870 Charles Dulia, a Jesuit and Vatican official, assures Catholics attending 43:33.870 --> 43:40.910 Graham's crusades, A Catholic will hear no slighting of his church teaching or 43:40.910 --> 43:47.490 authority, nor of papal or episcopal prerogatives, no word against the mass or 43:47.490 --> 43:49.550 the sacraments or Catholic practice. 43:50.750 --> 43:54.810 That's what they said of Billy Graham's crusades. 43:55.450 --> 43:59.350 The Roman Catholic Church will not be slighted, neither will its teachings, 43:59.570 --> 44:00.710 neither will its sacraments. 44:02.170 --> 44:03.650 Billy Graham was no Protestant. 44:04.390 --> 44:08.830 He says in parenthesis here, yet the Pope and his apologists denounce fundamentalism 44:08.830 --> 44:10.450 and the evangelical gospel. 44:10.450 --> 44:15.630 The Vatican has financed construction of the most powerful radio transmitter in 44:15.630 --> 44:19.450 South America to be used specifically to combat evangelicals. 44:20.850 --> 44:24.090 Rome hasn't changed, not one whit. 44:24.750 --> 44:29.290 Other evangelicals have adopted the same stance toward Rome. 44:29.290 --> 44:36.090 A Southern California newspaper recently noted, Puerto Rican-born evangelist Dr. 44:36.830 --> 44:43.570 Raimundo Jimenez is back on television in Los Angeles with a unique multilingual 44:43.570 --> 44:48.570 gospel outreach to both Spanish and English-speaking communities of this huge 44:48.570 --> 44:50.850 area of some 17 million people. 44:51.650 --> 44:55.970 The broadcaster says that he realizes that most Hispanics are nominally Roman 44:55.970 --> 44:56.450 Catholic. 44:56.450 --> 45:02.390 Quote, in fact, in Southern California, about 6 million Hispanics, there are said 45:02.390 --> 45:09.230 to be less than 200,000, that's only 3%, evangelicals, unquote, said Jimenez. 45:10.110 --> 45:15.410 Quote, however, we do not allow any attacks on the Roman Catholic Church. 45:16.190 --> 45:20.470 We just present the positive gospel of Jesus Christ, unquote. 45:21.830 --> 45:24.450 The positive gospel of Jesus Christ? 45:24.450 --> 45:28.250 You know what the positive gospel of Jesus Christ is? 45:32.160 --> 45:34.400 Salvation by faith alone. 45:35.320 --> 45:40.000 By grace alone, by Jesus Christ alone, and by the scriptures alone. 45:42.240 --> 45:45.760 Roman Catholicism teaches a work salvation. 45:47.020 --> 45:51.400 And it replaces Christ with Antichrist, the Pope of Rome. 45:52.300 --> 45:57.460 It replaces the Holy Spirit with Mary and the saints. 45:58.140 --> 46:02.500 It replaces the gospel of Jesus Christ with another gospel. 46:06.140 --> 46:11.040 Catholicism is a counterfeit Christianity, which in some respects so closely 46:11.040 --> 46:16.860 resembles the truth that unless a clear distinction is made, one presents the 46:16.860 --> 46:19.540 positive gospel of Jesus Christ in vain. 46:20.640 --> 46:25.220 A major problem is that while Catholics believe so much of the gospel, 46:25.420 --> 46:30.640 they also believe much that has been added, which destroys the gospel. 46:32.640 --> 46:39.240 Paul, quote, disputed in the synagogue with the Jews and with devout persons and 46:39.240 --> 46:44.240 in the market daily with them that met with him, unquote. 46:44.900 --> 46:47.080 Acts chapter 17, verse 17. 46:48.560 --> 46:54.100 Where's the contention between the followers of Paul, the followers of Jesus 46:54.100 --> 46:59.460 Christ, with the synagogue of Satan today? 47:03.730 --> 47:09.870 Jesus firmly corrected the rabbis and those deluded by them in his day. 47:10.870 --> 47:12.350 Shouldn't we do the same? 47:13.670 --> 47:18.230 It's no kindness to Catholics to leave them doomed in their error. 47:21.740 --> 47:24.120 So we go back to the scripture. 47:25.500 --> 47:26.740 What is love? 47:28.660 --> 47:30.600 Love is to tell the truth. 47:32.600 --> 47:34.160 Do we have the courage? 47:34.300 --> 47:37.560 Do we have the compassion for the lost? 47:38.920 --> 47:48.980 Then we should tell the truth and expose the error and with grace suffer the 47:48.980 --> 47:49.600 consequences. 47:50.580 --> 47:55.400 Just like all Protestant reformers of previous generations. 47:58.600 --> 48:04.180 Under the subtitle, more than a misunderstanding, Dave says, Even worse 48:04.180 --> 48:10.620 than not pointing out Roman Catholicism's errors candidly and with love is accepting 48:10.620 --> 48:14.980 Catholics as Christians and denying that they need the gospel at all. 48:16.000 --> 48:21.460 Such is the grievous error of the joint declaration to which we referred at the 48:21.460 --> 48:26.140 opening of this book titled, Evangelicals and Catholics Together, the Christian 48:26.140 --> 48:27.700 Mission of the Third Millennium. 48:28.580 --> 48:33.620 That historic document, signed by evangelical leaders, implies that the 48:33.620 --> 48:35.280 reformers must have been deluded. 48:36.180 --> 48:41.160 That all active Catholics then, as presumed today, were saved, 48:41.600 --> 48:42.640 but just didn't know it. 48:42.640 --> 48:48.120 And that Rome's gospel of transubstantiation, sacramental rituals, 48:48.620 --> 48:54.640 prayers to the saints, good works, indulgences, and purgatory saved souls. 48:56.500 --> 49:01.720 If that is true, then the martyrs mistakenly opposed a gospel they were 49:01.720 --> 49:08.620 convinced came from hell, but which were and are now assured is actually from 49:08.620 --> 49:09.000 heaven. 49:10.660 --> 49:15.740 The tens of millions of Catholics who since the reformation have received Christ 49:15.740 --> 49:21.900 by faith alone, and left the Roman Catholic Church, have also been deceived 49:21.900 --> 49:22.940 according to them. 49:23.400 --> 49:28.460 The whole evangelical church of today is totally deluded about what it means to be 49:28.460 --> 49:28.980 a Christian. 49:30.340 --> 49:35.240 Rome has been correct all along, and we must join her in evangelism. 49:36.800 --> 49:42.360 Yet even Catholic apologist Peter Kreeft admits, listen to this Roman Catholic 49:42.360 --> 49:48.660 priest, quote, over the past 25 years I've asked hundreds of Roman Catholic college 49:48.660 --> 49:54.240 students the question, if you should die tonight, and God asks you why he should 49:54.240 --> 49:56.160 let you into heaven, what would you say? 49:57.680 --> 50:02.040 The vast majority of them simply do not know the right answer to this. 50:02.040 --> 50:07.100 The most important of all questions, the very essence of Christianity. 50:07.920 --> 50:11.220 They usually do not even mention Jesus. 50:12.220 --> 50:12.660 Unquote. 50:13.760 --> 50:17.460 What does that say of Roman Catholicism? 50:18.960 --> 50:24.780 Here we have an admission that the Catholic Church does not teach salvation 50:24.780 --> 50:29.660 by grace through faith in such a manner that most Catholics understand it. 50:30.720 --> 50:36.100 Luther, Calvin, and the other reformers did not come to know the biblical gospel 50:36.100 --> 50:39.400 from their many years as devout Catholics. 50:39.980 --> 50:44.640 In fact, they claimed that Rome didn't teach this truth, and they appealed to her 50:44.640 --> 50:45.420 to do so. 50:45.920 --> 50:46.540 Her answer? 50:47.380 --> 50:47.860 No. 50:50.220 --> 50:54.960 In the same book, Kreeft claims that Rome has always taught and still teaches the 50:54.960 --> 50:59.160 true gospel, and that the Reformation was based upon an unfortunate 50:59.160 --> 51:00.060 misunderstanding. 51:01.460 --> 51:06.600 Yet that misunderstanding, by his own admission, persists to this day in the 51:06.600 --> 51:10.860 minds of intelligent Roman Catholic college students who have grown up in the 51:10.860 --> 51:11.900 Roman Catholic Church. 51:12.680 --> 51:13.360 Why? 51:14.380 --> 51:16.180 Because it's not a misunderstanding. 51:17.200 --> 51:24.360 Rome has added to justification by faith a complex system of religion by which 51:24.360 --> 51:29.560 Catholics embrace a false gospel and a false Jesus. 51:30.700 --> 51:38.000 This is the very perversion of the gospel that Paul cursed in Galatians chapter 1, 51:38.180 --> 51:39.260 verse 6-9. 51:40.580 --> 51:43.840 That's all I have for Inquisition Update this week. 51:43.840 --> 51:48.320 Please, if you have questions, comments, suggestions, please email me tom 51:48.320 --> 51:50.220 at cwaves.us. 51:50.780 -->

are a listener on this First Amendment rights media channel, 53:03.160 --> 53:06.400 you will notice that there are few commercials on this radio network. 53:07.120 --> 53:08.540 There's a good reason for that. 53:09.060 --> 53:13.540 Corporate advertising dollars come with strings that limit program content. 53:14.100 --> 53:18.600 So without your help, these programs cannot continue on satellite, internet, 53:18.800 --> 53:21.140 or our several affiliates. 53:21.520 --> 53:26.160 If you benefit by the educational law programs, we ask you to give. 53:26.160 --> 53:31.460 If you are admonished or nurtured by the Bible and ministry programs, we ask you to 53:31.460 --> 53:31.820 give. 53:32.140 --> 53:37.220 If some voice a cause that you are passionate about, we ask you to give. 53:37.680 --> 53:42.320 If you believe in any of these, we ask you to support them, as you would a 53:42.320 --> 53:47.600 missionary, on a continual basis, as if giving a tithe for missionary radio. 53:47.980

54:05.840 --> 54:10.980 We're asking you to give much less than a tithe, so that you may also send support 54:10.980 --> 54:16.820 directly to a particular program host, cause, and anywhere else the Spirit may 54:16.820 --> 54:17.340 lead you. 54:17.340 --> 54:23.640 Do all to the glory of our God and Creator, for His holy nation, the only 54:23.640 --> 54:25.840 kingdom that will last forever. 54:26.300 --> 54:27.820 Thank you for listening. 54:35.490 --> 54:41.270 Visit crosstheborder.org, C-R-O-S-S, crosstheborder.org, to get your print, 54:41.390 --> 54:46.610 e-pub, or PDF version of Nicholas Arthur's new book titled, When the Third Temple is 54:46.610 --> 54:46.910 Built. 54:47.290 --> 54:48.570 That's crosstheborder.org. 54:48.570 --> 54:52.970 When it comes to prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world 54:52.970 --> 54:57.570 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the third temple will 54:57.570 --> 54:58.350 begin to be built. 54:58.890 --> 55:03.870 The plans are drawn, the Jewish people are eager, most Evangelical Christians today 55:03.870 --> 55:06.910 believe that the rapture will happen before the third temple is built. 55:07.370 --> 55:08.870 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 55:09.350 --> 55:12.050 I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 55:12.650 --> 55:14.290 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 55:14.970 --> 55:17.930 Have we searched the scriptures and found this to be true? 55:18.570 --> 55:22.250 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a third 55:22.250 --> 55:23.110 temple in Jerusalem? 55:23.870 --> 55:28.330 Is it necessary to build a temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome 55:28.330 --> 55:28.810 of the Rock? 55:29.430 --> 55:33.370 Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the temple on Temple Mount? 55:33.830 --> 55:37.170 Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation? 55:38.010 --> 55:39.430 What is the New Testament Temple? 55:40.210 --> 55:42.370 Can we identify history and prophecy? 55:43.150 --> 55:46.190 Who is the first beast in Revelation chapter 13? 55:46.190 --> 55:49.430 Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17? 55:50.130 --> 55:53.770 I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book, 55:54.290 --> 55:58.610 When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using 55:58.610 --> 56:00.210 scripture to interpret scripture. 56:00.930 --> 56:04.330 The Bible says that no prophecy of scripture is of any private 56:04.330 --> 56:05.050 interpretation. 56:05.870 --> 56:08.770 Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built, 56:08.930 --> 56:13.410 how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation. 56:14.210 -->
