Good morning.
Welcome to Inquisition Update.
My name is Tom Friess and I'll be your host for the next hour.
You're listening to firstamendmentradio .com.
Thanks for tuning in everybody.
If you're like me, you're anxious to get right to business this morning,
reading and discussing the book A Woman Rides the Beast by Dave Hunt, now
deceased, but a very, very interesting and informative book.
It's my pleasure and blessing to get to read it here on Inquisition Update.
Yesterday we concluded with the discussion, or rather, we concluded within
the discussion of apostasy and ecumenism, the title of this chapter, Apostasy and
Ecumenism.
Dave Hunt is telling us that the ecumenical movement is not what it was
originally touted to be, a union of all Christians.
If that's not bad enough, ecumenism is literally the union of all the religions
of the world in preparation for a global government, a global and social economic
system.
And, well, it's the great apostasy.
Babylon the Great.
The patriarchs of the Bible would never have thought to have any ecumenical
dialogue with the Baal worshippers that surrounded Israel.
They too fell into apostasy.
But the true faith of God, the God of the Bible, would never hold an ecumenical
conference with all the other religions of the world.
But that's exactly what the Pope is leading.
With the cooperation of the governments of the world over which he rules,
and the other religious leaders of the various cults in the world, John Paul II
is leading the whole world into a global apostasy similar to that of the Tower of
Babel under Nimrod.
That's why I call the papacy the modern-day Nimrod.
And it's high time that God's people recognize this ecumenical movement for
what it is, and repent of it, and hold true to the gospel.
Now, page 422 of the book, subtitled Why Ecumenical Popes Are Popular, Dave Hunt
writes, John Paul II seems to be in failing hell.
Obviously, at the time of writing this book in the 80s, John Paul II seems to be
in failing hell.
Whether he recovers his strength and continues, or is replaced by another Pope,
will have little effect upon the future.
While John Paul II is the most blatant and effective ecumenist yet, he's only
following the footsteps of his predecessors, and his successor will
continue in the same direction.
Pope John XXIII, who opened Vatican Council II, and Pope Paul VI, who closed
it, joined such notables as the Dalai Lama, Anwar al-Sadat, a Muslim,
and UN Secretary General Yu Thant, a Buddhist, to form the Temple of
Understanding, known as the United Nations of Religion.
Catholics have been prominent ever since in the leadership of this major effort to
establish a world religion.
As further proof of the ecumenism of Pope John Paul II's immediate predecessors,
Paul VI gave his blessing to the Second World Conference on Religion and Peace in
Leuven, Belgium, in 1974.
Under Catholic leadership, the Leuven Declaration declared, quote, Buddhists,
Christians, Confucians, Hindus, Jains, Jews, Muslims, Shintoists,
Sikhs, Zoroastrians, and still others, we have sought here to listen to the
spirit within our buried and venerable religious traditions.
We have grappled with the towering issues that our societies must resolve in order
to bring about peace.
So peace is the objective of getting all the religions together.
And he says, we rejoice that the long era of prideful and even prejudiced isolation
of religions of humanity is, we hope, now gone forever.
So with that, you can just kick out the gospel, too.
And that's exactly what Rome has always tried to do.
Destroy the gospel of Jesus Christ and replace it with another.
Now, it's interesting that the vast majority of Catholics, while refusing to
follow papal dogmas in many respects, are only too eager to embrace the Pope's
ecumenism.
And why not?
The high percentage of Catholics who reject the basic teachings of the Roman
Catholic Church points toward a broadening of Christianity.
What Dave Hunt's telling us here is many Roman Catholics do not believe what the
Roman Catholic Church teaches.
And so the Vatican, in response, is just, well, trying to include all other
religions.
Trying to gobble up all other religions.
And to broaden, quote-unquote, Christianity.
Okay?
So they're going to call this global religion, Christianity.
It says a 1989 poll revealed that 25% of Catholics in America didn't believe in
life after death.
Another 46% said no one really knows.
And 55% believe they can dissent from official Roman Catholic Church teaching
while remaining Roman Catholics.
In a 1992 poll, 67% of Catholics favored ordaining women, 52% accepted abortion,
75% said priests should be allowed to marry, and 87% said married couples should
make their own decision about birth control.
In an April 1994 poll, quote, less than 29% of those under the age of 45 agreed
that the bread and wine are changed into the body and blood of Christ.
Close quotes.
So Roman Catholics don't even believe in transubstantiation.
The Roman Catholic Church, as far as its official teaching, which by the way,
according to Roman Catholic canon law, you must believe to be Catholic.
Roman Catholics have rejected it by large percentages.
And you must see this from the papacy's eyes.
Roman Catholic canon law doesn't have the force of law among Roman Catholics.
The papacy is in a desperate situation.
So it's simply broadening its borders.
You know, when you can't beat them, join them.
That's what it looks like.
Or rather, if you can't beat them, lead them all.
Okay?
It's an ecumenical all-skate.
Okay?
The organ is playing, the benches are to be emptied, and everyone is to be out on
the floor skating with the Pope.
That's what this amounts to.
Mystery Babylon the Great.
Now in France and Italy, the situation is even more amazing.
Remember, France and Italy are both staunchly Roman Catholic.
49% of French Catholics don't believe in the resurrection of Christ.
So much for Rome's ability to spread the gospel, the Great Commission.
She's obviously failed even in Roman Catholic countries.
49% of French Catholics don't believe in the resurrection of Christ.
60% don't believe in heaven.
77% don't believe in hell.
And 75% believe in neither purgatory nor the devil.
In fact, quote, two-thirds of Catholic theologians express disbelief in the
existence of Satan, unquote.
And isn't that strange, since so many of them worship him?
While 90% of Italians call themselves Roman Catholics, only about 30% attend
Sunday Mass.
And national elections in Italy during the past decade have legalized both divorce
and abortion in spite of pressure from the church to the contrary.
Roman Catholics are not alone in apostasy.
Let me read that again.
Roman Catholics are not alone in apostasy.
A poll early in 1994 indicated that, quote, four out of ten Americans who call
themselves evangelicals don't believe there is such a thing as absolute truth.
And why don't you suppose they believe in absolute truth?
Because they're taught from cradle to grave that we all come from pond scum,
right?
That God didn't create the heavens and the earth.
The Genesis account is a lie, a fable, a parable.
We don't believe in absolute truth because our schools and our churches are corrupt.
Dave asks in brackets here, he says, is evangelical, like born again,
becoming a meaningless term?
How about the word Protestantism?
Has that become a meaningless term?
Not here at Inquisition Update, that's for certain.
Now he says, of all United States adults, 71% say there is no such thing as absolute
truth.
Relativism and ecumenism go hand in hand.
Those holding such loose views can easily be persuaded to join with almost anyone,
provided the cause is compelling.
Reviewing the book Rome's Sweet Home, A Story of Scott and Kimberly Hahn's
Conversion to Roman Catholicism, John W.
Robbins wrote, quote, Scott Hahn's defection is one of several similar
defections.
They are occurring not because Rome is a true church, but because of the apostasy
of quote-unquote Protestantism.
Just when the preaching of the gospel is most urgently needed, it is rarely heard
in quote-unquote Protestant pulpits.
Only the grace of God can save us from another dark age, and the church that
Luther recognized as the slaughterhouse of souls, the Roman Catholic Church.
Now under the subtitle Uniting Everyone in Prayer, look at the strategy that the
Vatican is using to unite all pagan religions under its leadership.
Since taking office in 1978, Pope John Paul II has moved ecumenism a quantum leap
toward the coming world religion.
One of the Pope's major tactics for unity is getting religious leaders together for
prayer.
He wants to usher in the new millennium with an unprecedented day of prayer with
Muslims and Jews on Egypt's Mount Sinai, according to a letter published by the
Vatican.
That's right, they want to pollute Mount Sinai with their ecumenism.
And I'm glad they've chosen a mountain in the Sinai because that's not God's holy
mountain.
It's in Saudi Arabia.
But nonetheless, it's leading the world into a false security and rebellion
against God at the same time.
Isn't that just exactly what Satan intended to do?
And that's why he chose the Pope of Rome to be his vicar.
It says, one of John Paul II's most amazing feats was the gathering at Assisi,
Italy in 1986 of 130 leaders of the world's 12 major religions to pray for
peace.
Praying together were snake worshippers, fire worshippers, spiritists, animists,
North American witch doctors, Buddhists, Muslims and Hindus, as well as Christians
and Catholics.
The Pope declared that all were, quote, praying to the same God,
unquote.
On that occasion, the Pope allowed his good friend, the Dalai Lama, to replace
the cross with Buddha on the altar of St. Peter's Church in Assisi, and for him and
his monks to perform their Buddhist worship there.
The two most urgent causes which will play an important part in uniting the world are
ecology and peace.
It is increasingly believed that peace will be achieved by prayer to some higher
power, and any God will do, as Masonry says.
Inspired by the Pope's example at Assisi... and by the way, this mention
just now of Masonry is startling.
You know, many have been told that the Roman Catholic Church has taken this
ecumenical slant because it has been infiltrated by Freemasonry and the
Illuminati, when the fact of the matter is, Rome has always been... well,
let's just put it this way.
The Vatican is Illuminati and Freemasonry, and always has been, despite its apparent
opposition.
The idea of unifying the whole world to rebel against Christ is the very
foundation for Mystery Babylon the Great.
And they all have an equal hand in it.
Although they have different names and apparently are enemies of one another,
they've been collectively working for the same goal.
Masonry is just a cover for Jesuitism, for a global religion under one
ecclesiastical head, which is now pretty evident that it's the Pope of Rome.
Now, inspired by the Pope's example at Assisi, interfaith councils are springing
up across the United States where Christians meet for prayer and social
action with the followers of all religions.
The procedure at one of the meetings was described by a participant.
Prayer has been uniting all religions worldwide, and even under evangelical
leadership.
At the 1993 National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., Senator Kerry read John
3, verses 1-21, and strategically leaving out verse 16, according to Davon,
suggested that Christ was speaking of quote, spiritual renewal, unquote,
and that quote, in the spirit of Christ, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Jew, and
Christian, unquote, were meeting together for that purpose.
Vice President Al Gore said, quote, faith in God, reliance upon a higher
power, by whatever name, is, in my view, essential, unquote.
God said, quote, if my people who are called by my name, unquote, will pray,
quote, I will hear from heaven, unquote, 2 Chronicles 7-14.
It was not an invitation to worshippers of Baal and Ashtoreth and other gods to join
with Israel in prayer.
That would have been an abomination.
Yet today's evangelicals are joining a mixed multitude to pray and to work for
social justice and peace.
Now, under the subtitle, Gathering Worldwide Momentum, Dave says,
it's amazing to what extent those who call themselves Christians are able to justify,
for the cause of peace and ecological wholeness, participation in religious
practices with those of all religions.
He continues, he says, there's a large movement in South America called the First
Assembly of the People of God of Latin America and the Caribbean, initials APD,
which is attracting a truly ecumenical groundswell of Catholics, Protestants,
and Pagans with the blessing of the Roman Catholic Church.
The phrase, People of God, comes from Vatican Council 2, and the movement claims
to have, quote, brought to light the model of the pluralistic and service-oriented
church outlined in Vatican Council 2 teachings, unquote.
The National Catholic Reporter favorably reported on the recent convention in
Brazil.
It said this, quote, one leader held a silver scepter to Candoble, the worship of
African gods.
Another, a Baptist minister, no less, displays a drawing of the world
transversed by a crucifix.
Beside him, a voodoo priest from Haiti raised a pot of incense, spreading good
energy over the crowd, and a pastor from the United Presbyterian Church read from
Paul's letter to the Galatians.
The celebrants surrounded a Brazilian Catholic brother who lifted up a priest's
stole, each kissed the colorful band of cloth, unquote.
A much larger but similar gathering, the Parliament of the World's Religions,
was held in Chicago in September 1993, and was attended by about 6,000
representatives of the world's major faiths.
One of the plenary speakers, the Dalai Lama, called for a worldwide, quote,
spiritual awakening, unquote, that could be heeded by all religions.
A major event of the Parliament was the awarding to Charles Colson of the
Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, the world's most prestigious and lucrative
ecumenical award amounting to about $1.2 million.
It is given specifically for, quote, encouraging understanding of the benefits
of each of the great religions, unquote.
Imagine Elijah accepting an award for, quote, encouraging understanding of the
benefits of Baal worship, unquote, or Paul on Mars Hill, quote, encouraging
understanding of the benefits of paganism, unquote.
As always at such ecumenical milestones, Catholic leadership was much in evidence,
including Chicago's Cardinal Joseph Bernardin and Father Thomas A.
Baima, director of the Chicago Archdiocese's Office for Ecumenical and
Interreligious Affairs.
Roman Catholic theologian Hans Kung was, quote, the main drafter of the Global
Ethic, promoting interreligious cooperation, unquote, produced by the
Parliament and signed by most of the leaders present, including Reverend Wesley
R.
Rajah, Deputy General Secretary of the World Council of Churches.
And as we've said many times on Inquisition Update and proved by the
readings of books, that the World Council of Churches is simply a Vatican
organization to bring all religions under her control and authority.
He continues and says it was, quote, the first time in history that
representatives of all the world's religions, Buddhism, Christianity,
Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and 120 other religious groups, reached common ground on
ethical behavior.
Representatives from the Vatican and the National Conference of Catholic Bishops
were present and reacted favorably.
The Los Angeles Times reported, quote, priests in Roman collars talked
with saffron-robed Buddhist monks and Rastafarians engaged in animated
discussions with Turban Sikhs.
On one night, followers of the pagan religion Wicca performed a full moon
ritual, unquote.
So you see the true meaning of ecumenism?
We've been deceived.
Roman Catholicism is proving to be the bridge that brings together all faiths.
That fact alone is not surprising, but it is astonishing to see evangelical
Christians stepping onto that bridge on the one end, while at the same time,
Hindus, Buddhists, and pagans of every stripe are stepping onto it from the
other.
If we are indeed in the last days, as seems apparent, it will not be long at
all until all sides meet in the middle.
And that's the great apostasy.
You know, there will only be one that is not welcome on that bridge in the middle,
and that will be Jesus Christ and his gospel.
Because Jesus is not ecumenical.
He said, there's no other name under heaven given among men, whereby you must
be saved.
And if you believe that Jesus is not the Savior and the Messiah, you will die in
your sins.
We'll be back right after these messages.

Hi, I'm Michael Eugene.
I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future.
Is that really what the Bible teaches?
Have we searched the scriptures and found this to be true?
Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a new one?
Is it necessary to build a temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome
of the Rock?
Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the temple on Temple Mount?
Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation?
What is the New Testament temple?
Can we identify history and prophecy?
Who is the first beast in Revelation chapter 13?
Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17?
I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book,
When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using
scripture to interpret scripture.
The Bible says that no prophecy of scripture is of any private
interpretation.
Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built,
how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation.

On September 16, 1980, John Paul II told the Catholics in Ostebrook, Germany,
quote, encourage in a charitable way your evangelical brothers, the Lutherans,
to witness to their faith, to deepen in Christ their form of religious life,
unquote.
Amazingly that a Pope should be so encouraging to Lutherans who he waged
inquisitions against not more than 500 years ago.
Is the Pope merely enticing Protestants or is he really letting down the standard as
many Catholics fear?
On September 6, 1983, he spoke of going, quote, beyond misunderstandings to find
once more what is common to all Christians, unquote.
Such expressions of ecumenism have been common and have drawn fire from
conservative critics within his church.
That's right, many Roman Catholics are appalled at ecumenism.
As a matter of fact, many of them go so far as to say that every Pope since John
XXIII, who opened Vatican Council II, was a heretic and an anti-Christ,
an anti-Pope.
I got news for them.
They're all anti-Popes.
They're all anti-Christ.
And they're destined for Christ's judgment.
And that's why the plea from Inquisition Update is to come out of that church.
Come out of that church in compliance with the command of Christ in Revelation 18,
verses 4 and 5.
He says, there's no doubt that John Paul II has been breaking new ground in his
pursuit of, quote, unquote, unity.
He knelt beside then Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, at the
Canterbury Anglican Cathedral altar, and the two leaders embraced.
He says, in 1981, this is the cozy relationship that has been built between
the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England.
It's ghastly.
In 1981, the Pope, quote, invited Metropolitan Damaskinos to speak in his
place.
For the first time since the schism of 1054 A.D., an Orthodox prelate thus sat in
the chair of the Basilica, unquote.
So the Vatican is reaching out to the Church of England and also the schismatic
Orthodox who left the Roman Catholic Church in 1054 A.D.
and became known as the Eastern or the Greek Orthodox Church.
It says, the mutual anathemas between, let me just add that both Protestantism,
which is claimed very weakly these days, but claimed by the Church of England,
and the Orthodox Church are the two great schisms of the Roman Catholic Church.
Mortal enemies.
Rome has lashed out against both.
In world wars, we've covered much of that in this book and many other books that
we've read.
The Vatican's second world war attack upon the Orthodox in the Baltic states under
the headship of Roman Catholic priests and prelates, the Ustashi, in order to form a
Roman Catholic super state in Croatia at the expense of the blood of untold
thousands, hundreds of thousands, and some say over 2 million Orthodox
Serbs.
And of course, we've completely forgotten Rome's persecution of Protestants.
We can talk all the time about Jewish persecution by the Roman Catholic Church
during the second world war, but very few have the stomach to talk about the
persecution of Protestants during that same period.
But now the Pope's reaching out to them while he used to shed their blood with
wild abandon by the most sophisticated arts of war.
Now he's reaching out to these two schismatics, the Protestants and the
Orthodox.
Someone should ask themselves, is the Pope serious?
And just like I alluded to yesterday, with all that blood on her hands,
over nearly two millennia bloodshed of God's people, Bible-believing Christians,
the Waldenses, the Huguenots, the Hussites, the Protestants, and those are
just to name a few, and now Rome wants to reach out for peace?
I think what Rome has done, which really hasn't sunk into the minds of people,
is that she's admitted she was wrong when she killed God's people.
She's reaching out to them now, isn't she?
All that blood has come down upon her head, and I believe God sees it.
And I think men ought to see it.
The time for judgment of the Roman Catholic Church is well nigh at hand.
Dave Hunt continues, he says, the mutual anathemas between Rome, the mutual
damnations, better said, between Rome and Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern
Orthodox Church, had been lifted in 1965 at Vatican Council II.
1965.
The Pope essentially said, the war is over.
Right?
We want peace and unity now.
Forget about all of our bloodshed.
Put that in the past.
Let's not dwell on those things that divide us anymore.
Like the blood of untold millions over nearly two millennia.
Let's just forget about that.
On August 2nd of 1982, the Pope resumed diplomatic relations with three
Scandinavian countries that had not been recognized by the Vatican since they had
broken with Rome at the Protestant Reformation.
1982.
The Pope simply didn't recognize those nations anymore.
They no longer existed because they broke away from the Roman Catholic Church.
And I believe it was in the Netherlands the Pope issued a decree to massacre all
the Protestants in the entire nation.
But we just don't talk about those things anymore.
Real events in history mean you can't have a global religion led by the Pope unless
you forget the cosmic bloodshed of that horror in Revelation 17.
Drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus,
the whole world is opening the door for this global religion headed up by the most
mass-murdering organization in world history.
On December 11th, 1983, Pope John Paul II became the first Pope in history to enter
a Lutheran church.
What do you suppose Martin Luther would do if he knew?
He did so in Rome, where he took part in services and stated, quote, I am here
because the Spirit of the Lord thrusts us towards ecumenical dialogue to find
complete unity among Christians.
Let me ask the question, how could any Christian have peace and unity with the
biblical, historical, and prophetic Antichrist?
In 1987, Patriarch Demetrius I was welcomed into St. Peter's Basilica by Pope
John Paul II, who introduced him as, quote, his holiness, Demetrius I,
our well-beloved brother in Christ, unquote, and exhorted the congregation to,
quote, hear the words of the chief Patriarch, unquote.
At the end of the Mass, Demetrius returned to the altar to bless the faithful.
The Pope responded, quote, the Catholic Church and the Orthodox have been given
the grace to recognize one another as sister churches and to walk towards full
communion, unquote.
On December 7, 1987, Patriarch Demetrius I and Pope John Paul II signed a declaration
similar to the recent joint Catholic-Evangelical agreement in the
United States.
That's right, the Pope has signed similar documents with the Evangelicals in this
country.
Literally, it is mystery Babylon the Great.
Quote, each of the churches has received and celebrates the same sacraments,
and we reject all forms of proselytism, unquote.
This is what they agreed.
No sheep steal.
The various churches, now being all one faith, there's no use in trying to
proselytize one another.
All the churches depend upon the financial support of their members, and sheep
stealing will not be allowed.
In other words, as long as you remain in this apostasy, Satan doesn't care if
anybody proselytizes anyone else.
But Rome doesn't want any proselytizing.
Why?
Because Rome is failing lock, stock, and barrel, especially now with the
pedophile priest pandemic.
People are unhappy with the Roman Catholic Church.
And many of them are coming to Christ.
They're coming to the gospel.
They're hearing the gospel message for the first time, and Rome's losing the battle
for souls.
So the Pope doesn't want any proselytizing.
It's just amazing to me.
It's amazing to me.
When has the Pope ever tolerated other religions?
When has the papacy ever tolerated other religions?
There was no such thing in Roman Catholic canon law as live and let live.
Rome proselytizes by force, by getting control of the governments of the nations
of the world, and making Roman Catholicism the state religion, to the exclusion of
all others.
That's Roman Catholic canon law.
That's what Roman Catholic concordats are all about.
And now Rome says no proselytizing.
Rome's losing.
Rome's losing the battle.
The judgment of Almighty God is upon her.
And Rome's only answer is to just eliminate religious strife and unite all
the world's religions into a common error in rejecting Jesus Christ and the gospel.
They've united all error against the singular truth.
And when that really sinks home to my listeners, it'll make the hair stand on
the back of your head.
Rome is singling out the gospel for its destruction.
And we better be strong in the faith because we're going to be challenged from
every corner.
We're going to be regarded as separatists, fundamentalists, words that have already
been demonized by the mainstream and alternative medias.
We're going to be regarded as religious bigots, unaccepting of other people.
We're going to be regarded as hate speakers, intolerant.
And we're not going to be accepted in this new global religion.
Those who hold firmly to the gospel will stick out like a sore thumb when ecumenism
gobbles up all the errors, all the churches of the world.
Those who hold out for the gospel and for Christ are going to stick out like a sore
thumb.
You know, the Romans used to persecute the Jews.
You know how they did it?
They just made it a law that nobody could go to quote-unquote church on the Sabbath.
But the day of worship was Sunday, the first day of the week.
And anybody caught going into a synagogue on the Sabbath were just simply labeled as
Jews and were submitted to persecution.
Well, I suggest the same thing is going to happen.
I suggest the same thing is going to happen now.
And it's happening now.
Rome is singling us out and making us readily identifiable in the world.
The persecution of God's people is going to take off like never before.
Under the subtitle Strange Bedfellows, Dave Hunt says, on January 3, 1994,
Chinese Premier Li Ping signed into law documents 144, which had to do with
regulations on the management of religious activity of foreigners within China's
borders.
And 145, which was entitled Management of Places of Religious Activity Ordinance.
And it says, and when Wen Weipo, Hong Kong's major pro-Beijing newspaper,
admitted these regulations are intended to prevent proselytizing by foreigners.
The Chinese government realizes the danger to communism if evangelicals are allowed
to obey Christ's command to preach the gospel to every person.
See who's being excluded from China?
Those who are answering the commission.
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
That's our commission.
But China, and you can bet your bippy with the help of the Vatican, has promoted laws
prohibiting this type of proselytizing, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in
China.
And I wish I were there to show the evidence, but I'll bet you there is a move
of God in China that would rival anything in world history.
An underground church of true Bible-believing Christians in China.
God's going to call out a people for himself in China.
He says a similar but voluntary ban on proselytism is a key element in the
accelerating ecumenical movement.
Listen to this.
Billy Graham's World Mission 95 involves such a pledge on the part of participating
churches.
No sheep stealing.
Imagine, Billy Graham.
He says the instructions for France, for example, for participation in this
crusade that will be broadcast worldwide by satellite are clear.
All the denominations, Catholic, Orthodox, etc.
are to be kept advised and cooperation is to be mutual among all in spite of
differences in theology.
And there is to be absolutely no inter-church proselytizing.
In other words, you can come to the crusade, but you must go back to your
Roman Catholic church.
You can come to Christ, you can come to Billy Graham's crusade and hear the
gospel, but you must go back to your Roman Catholic church where they can snuff it
out the moment you walk through the door.
Billy Graham was a traitor.
A traitor to Christ.
He says, ironically, the headquarters of the mission in France is in the town of
Braziers, which readers will recall was wiped out by Pope Innocent III with the
loss of about 60,000 lives, and it was regarded as the crowning achievement of
his papacy.
One of the most amazing displays of this anti-proselytism compromised by
evangelicals of Christ's command to preach the gospel in all the world to every
creature, Mark 16, verse 15, occurred in Colorado.
In recent years, the city of Colorado Springs has seen the influx of numerous
evangelical ministries establishing their offices there.
Evangelical youth were winning their Catholic and Jewish schoolmates to Christ,
bringing complaints from Catholic and Jewish leaders.
To bring peace to the community, evangelical leaders, among them James
Dobson, 33rd degree Freemason, it's not included here, but that's what he
is, Navigators Terry Taylor, Youth Life Director Terry P. McGonigal, and local
evangelical pastors signed a, quote, covenant of mutual respect, unquote,
with the local Catholic bishop and the Jewish rabbi and others.
The covenant itself was reproduced in the April 22, 1993 edition of the Colorado
Springs Gazette-Telegraph under the title, A Message to the People of Colorado
Springs.
It recognized the, quote, Judeo-Christian heritage, unquote, common to all faiths,
represented by those signing the covenant, and basically pledged to, quote,
learn from each other in a spirit of goodwill and mutual respect, unquote,
rather than to evangelize.
This sold out the gospel.
You can no longer preach the gospel in Colorado Springs, otherwise you will
offend.
And this is supposed to be a Christian directive?
A Catholic newspaper reported triumphantly, quote, the effort to
evangelize by some communities was creating an atmosphere of animosity,
said Bishop Richard Hanifin of the Diocese of Colorado Springs.
About a year ago, Rabbi Howard Hirsch of the Temple Shalom and Bishop Hanifin both
found that Jewish and Catholic youth were being evangelized at school by other
students of different faiths.
Terry McGonigal, director of the Institute of Youth Ministries for Young Life,
agreed that other Christian youths were being evangelized in schools as well.
To curb misunderstanding and to facilitate understanding, religious leaders from
community churches and organizations began meeting informally to discuss the
situation.
Youth leaders attended the first meeting, June 26, 1992, to discuss whether the
evangelization efforts were a problem, and determined that they were.
Bishop Hanifin said in the future he hopes the group will explore all kinds of issues
to learn the values of various faiths and how they view the scripture.
Quote, instead of trying to convince each other which way to settle issues,
we hope to understand the processes of how we settle issues, he said.
I think with God's help this will set the stage for the future for how our different
traditions will behave, and that I think is very good for Colorado Springs.
Unquote.
So the hierarchs are going to get together and say how each religious community
should behave.
Forget what the gospel says.
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature that has been set
aside by religious leaders in Colorado Springs.
And the Pope is setting the same agenda for the rest of the world.
They're simply following the papacy's lead.
The lead of Antichrist.
Under the subtitle of Charismatic Bridge to Rome, this one is particularly
sensitive to me because my whole family is charismatic.
He says, oddly at the same time that Rome is complaining about having Catholics
evangelized, it is engaged in the largest evangelization program in history.
It's called Evangelization 2000, and it is directed from the Vatican by
Father Thomas Forrest, to whom we have already referred.
He organized a worldwide priest retreat which met at Vatican City September of
1990 to kick off the decade of evangelization.
You know, Rome can evangelize, but God's people can't.
Right?
And of course, I've already told you many times how Rome evangelizes.
Interestingly, quote, the first purpose of the retreat, Forrest said, was to
evangelize the priests.
Unquote.
About 1,000 of the 6,000 priests attending responded to the call to, quote,
receive Christ as Savior and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Unquote.
Why should such an appeal be necessary, especially among the priests, if Catholics
are saved?
And how could these 1,000 really receive Christ as Savior, in the biblical meaning
of that phrase, without denying most of the Catholicism that they have been
trained to perpetuate?
That Tom Forrest is still a Roman Catholic priest who celebrates the Mass,
believes in purgatory and indulgences, and dare not say that he is eternally
saved, indicates that he has never accepted the biblical gospel.
Yet evangelicals accept him as a partner in the gospel.
Forrest is charismatic.
Much of the responsibility for the growing partnership with Catholicism lies with
certain leaders in the charismatic movement.
Charismatics were the first to hold joint Protestant-Catholic conferences and to
accept one another as Christians.
And we'll be back tomorrow to again reiterate what part the charismatics and
charisma played in uniting Catholics and Protestants against Christ.
Sounds shocking?
It is.
Come back tomorrow.

When it comes to prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world
has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will
begin to be built.
The plans are drawn, the Jewish people are eager, most Evangelical Christians today
believe that the rapture will happen before the Third Temple is built.
Hi, I'm Michael Eugene.
I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future.
Is that really what the Bible teaches?
Have we searched the Scriptures and found this to be true?
Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third
Temple in Jerusalem?
Is it necessary to build a Temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome
of the Rock?
Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the Temple on Temple Mount?
Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation?
What is the New Testament Temple?
Can we identify history and prophecy?
Who is the first beast in Revelation Chapter 13?
Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17?
I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book,
When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using
Scripture to interpret Scripture.
The Bible says that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private
interpretation.
Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built,
how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation.
