WEBVTT 00:32.640 --> 00:33.520 Good morning. 00:33.860 --> 00:35.400 Welcome to Inquisition Update. 00:35.640 --> 00:38.400 My name is Tom Friess and I'll be your host for the next hour. 00:38.800 --> 00:41.420 You're listening to FirstAmendmentRadio .com. 00:41.480 --> 00:42.500 Thanks for tuning in. 00:43.260 --> 00:47.680 And we'll continue where we left off in the book, A Woman Rides the Beast by Dave 00:47.680 --> 00:47.980 Hunt. 00:48.360 --> 00:50.880 We concluded Appendix A of the book. 00:50.940 --> 00:55.280 Now we're going to go on to Appendix B dealing with indulgences. 00:55.420 --> 01:01.620 First we talked about this imaginary place of suffering called purgatory that was 01:01.620 --> 01:04.720 created out of thin air by the Roman Catholic Church. 01:05.680 --> 01:12.680 And then, after creating this fictitious place of torture, then they created 01:12.680 --> 01:16.920 indulgences so one may buy his way out of purgatory. 01:17.820 --> 01:20.960 Money-making like you cannot believe. 01:21.840 --> 01:26.420 That's why the Roman Catholic Church is the most wealthy institution on the 01:26.420 --> 01:26.780 planet. 01:28.040 --> 01:34.500 Appendix B, indulgences, Dave Hunt begins by saying, Can Bible-believing Christians 01:34.500 --> 01:41.300 really accept such an obviously false gospel and join with those who preach it 01:41.300 --> 01:43.220 in evangelizing the world? 01:44.220 --> 01:50.740 Can evangelicals in good conscience direct inquiring souls to the Roman Catholic 01:50.740 --> 01:57.180 Church which preaches purgatory and indulgences, and agree that its members 01:57.180 --> 02:00.440 are Christians and not to be evangelized? 02:01.300 --> 02:07.160 A church which claims to control the gates of heaven and opens it to those who put 02:07.160 --> 02:08.940 themselves in her hands? 02:10.060 --> 02:15.460 In fact, the Roman Catholic Church glories in her claims to be 02:24.120 --> 02:31.880 Rome unashamedly admits that the salvation she offers must be received in partial 02:31.880 --> 02:37.520 installments and that its efficacy is derived not only from quote-unquote 02:37.520 --> 02:45.200 Christ's merits but from the surplus quote good works of all the saints unquote 02:45.860 --> 02:50.580 beyond what they needed to quote attain their own salvation unquote. 02:51.560 --> 03:01.020 So what Dave is describing here is an imaginary bank of merit that is in the 03:01.020 --> 03:06.580 complete control of the Roman Catholic Church and in that bank is all the 03:06.580 --> 03:15.000 spiritual merits earned by Jesus Christ by Mary and all the saints in the Bible or 03:15.000 --> 03:22.440 all the saints of the Roman Catholic Church and it is by their good works or 03:22.440 --> 03:37.060 their merits that were in excess of their own salvation that are held and accrued in 03:37.060 --> 03:44.880 this bank of merit and then may be dispensed by the Roman Catholic Church to 03:44.880 --> 03:46.900 apply to anyone who can afford it. 03:49.690 --> 03:51.650 The Bible says nothing of this. 03:53.110 --> 03:54.610 Complete fabrication. 03:56.030 --> 04:02.250 Now Dave continues, he says, How astonishing that evangelical leaders could 04:02.250 --> 04:08.870 credit Roman Catholicism with being Christian and propose to evangelize the 04:08.870 --> 04:12.150 world as partners in the gospel with the Roman Catholic Church. 04:13.650 --> 04:18.770 We can only assume that they are ignorant of the Roman Catholic Church's true 04:18.770 --> 04:25.160 teachings and have been deceived by the many misrepresentations emanating from 04:25.160 --> 04:26.450 Roman Catholic apologists. 04:27.920 --> 04:33.860 How else could those who otherwise seem to be stalwarts of the faith say that 04:33.860 --> 04:38.200 evangelicals and Catholics are in agreement on the fundamentals of the 04:38.200 --> 04:38.620 gospel? 04:41.000 --> 04:50.280 Let me just simply add that the Roman Catholic Church rejects the gospel and 04:50.280 --> 04:52.520 presents to the world another one. 04:54.240 --> 04:59.800 It rejects Jesus Christ and presents to the world another Christ. 05:01.840 --> 05:05.160 What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? 05:07.640 --> 05:09.780 We're not to be a part of this. 05:09.880 --> 05:10.800 We are to be separate. 05:12.700 --> 05:16.780 Touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you, Jesus said. 05:18.600 --> 05:25.360 Dave continues, he says, Vatican Council 2 goes on to say, In indulgences, 05:25.640 --> 05:28.340 the work prescribed must be done. 05:29.480 --> 05:41.220 In other words, to buy merit or to get to receive some merit out of this bank of 05:41.220 --> 05:46.500 merit controlled by the Roman Catholic Church you have to perform certain work. 05:48.300 --> 05:49.880 It's a transaction. 05:52.580 --> 05:54.030 It's purchasing salvation. 05:55.540 --> 06:03.460 It's purchasing merit so that you may have a rightful claim to heaven. 06:05.760 --> 06:07.640 No need for Christ. 06:08.600 --> 06:10.760 You can buy your way to heaven. 06:11.820 --> 06:13.860 You can earn your way to heaven. 06:13.980 --> 06:18.400 And if you can't earn your way to heaven if you haven't stored up enough of your 06:18.400 --> 06:25.900 own merits to get you into heaven, then you can well, make a withdrawal from 06:25.900 --> 06:30.040 the bank of the excess merits of Christ and Mary and the saints. 06:32.160 --> 06:34.620 That's the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. 06:36.280 --> 06:43.800 He says, here is proof if it were needed that Rome preaches, promises and practices 06:43.800 --> 06:45.580 salvation by works. 06:45.880 --> 06:50.720 And yet, oddly enough, the person himself doesn't have to do the good works. 06:51.600 --> 06:56.780 The good works of others may be credited to one's account in Rome's contrived 06:56.780 --> 07:03.740 ledger which when balanced out by its specious reckoning opens the gate of 07:03.740 --> 07:03.980 heaven. 07:06.440 --> 07:09.540 It's like the New York Stock Exchange of grace. 07:12.020 --> 07:14.100 Filthy lucre for the church. 07:14.940 --> 07:19.180 And an imagined salvation for Roman Catholics. 07:20.860 --> 07:24.800 Under the subtitle, The Origin and Development of the Doctrine of 07:24.800 --> 07:30.440 Indulgences, Dave writes The very concept of indulgences comes from paganism. 07:31.220 --> 07:38.040 The idea that the infliction of pain the recital of formulas or the pilgrimages to 07:38.040 --> 07:44.880 shrines and sacrifices to the gods are meritorious and influences the gods in 07:44.880 --> 07:45.640 one's favor. 07:46.700 --> 07:55.020 The idea that saying so many Hail Marys or kissing a crucifix or repeating a formula 07:55.020 --> 08:00.220 could reduce purgatorial suffering which Christ's sacrifice on the cross could not 08:00.220 --> 08:02.420 reduce is bad enough. 08:03.160 --> 08:08.820 But the teaching that an indulgence may be applied to the dead carries this 08:08.820 --> 08:11.880 blasphemous absurdity a quantum leap further. 08:13.060 --> 08:19.220 The idea that, quote, time off for good behavior, unquote could be credited to 08:19.220 --> 08:24.720 someone in purgatory who has not done the necessary, quote, work prescribed, 08:25.200 --> 08:29.680 unquote betrays again the fraud of Romanism. 08:30.880 --> 08:34.860 Anything is possible for a financial offering to the church. 08:36.200 --> 08:43.200 The gospel of indulgences is one of Rome's most blatantly unbiblical and illogical 08:43.200 --> 08:48.180 doctrines coming out of the Middle Ages and it's still in force today. 08:49.060 --> 08:56.760 The pagan concept of indulgences gradually became defined as part of Roman 08:56.760 --> 09:02.520 Catholicism over the years and eventually became the papacy's greatest money-making 09:02.520 --> 09:03.120 scheme. 09:04.740 --> 09:11.100 Theoretically, it should take only one mass to release every soul from purgatory. 09:12.220 --> 09:16.500 Mary, whose power, they say, is infinite could do it in a moment. 09:17.460 --> 09:24.120 And the popes, whose power is also unlimited could empty purgatory with the 09:24.120 --> 09:29.340 stroke of his pen but simply devising an indulgence to do so. 09:29.760 --> 09:32.740 By simply devising an indulgence. 09:33.620 --> 09:36.140 By simply writing a pardon. 09:38.140 --> 09:42.420 You know, the presidents of the United States have the power to pardon prisoners. 09:44.160 --> 09:47.740 That's just a model for what power the popes have. 09:49.420 --> 09:56.020 For a president of the United States to just arbitrarily release from prison the 09:56.020 --> 09:58.140 most hardened political criminals 10:01.380 --> 10:04.300 is a power that he should not have. 10:06.260 --> 10:08.000 And neither should the pope. 10:10.670 --> 10:14.230 Now, do they have no love for souls? 10:15.030 --> 10:22.850 If the pope is such a loving individual the dispenser of all graces and truly 10:22.850 --> 10:28.190 loves the sinner or truly loves the Christian in purgatory why wouldn't he 10:28.190 --> 10:32.630 just write a plenary indulgence to every soul in purgatory and spring them? 10:35.310 --> 10:37.330 The answer is obvious. 10:38.050 --> 10:44.730 The historian Von Dollinger writes, quote Augustino Trionfo, commissioned by 10:44.730 --> 10:51.430 Pope John XXII to expound the rights of the popes showed that as the dispenser of 10:51.430 --> 10:57.410 the merits of Christ he could empty purgatory in one stroke by his indulgences 10:57.410 --> 11:03.730 of all the souls detained there on the sole condition that somebody fulfilled the 11:03.730 --> 11:06.190 rules laid down for gaining those indulgences. 11:07.250 --> 11:13.770 But, he advised the pope not to do this though the pope's power was so 11:13.770 --> 11:18.850 immeasurably great that no pope can ever know the full extent of it. 11:20.130 --> 11:25.590 In other words, the pope's power is so immeasurably great that nobody can even 11:25.590 --> 11:28.370 quantify it. 11:29.870 --> 11:37.410 But, even though the pope had plentitude of power to spring free every writhing 11:37.410 --> 11:45.630 Christian in purgatory from the flames of torment he's best advised not to do it. 11:48.090 --> 11:51.290 That's the love of the gospel of the Roman Catholic Church. 11:53.170 --> 11:58.990 Now, to empty purgatory would stop the inflow of offerings for masses and endless 11:58.990 --> 12:01.050 graces and favors from the church. 12:01.710 --> 12:07.310 Instead, the requirements of getting out of purgatory were made ever more complex 12:08.130 --> 12:11.830 necessitating ever greater services from the church. 12:12.690 --> 12:18.630 The doctrine of indulgences was at last declared an official church dogma by Pope 12:18.630 --> 12:23.950 Clement I would say Antichrist Clement VI in 1343. 12:25.330 --> 12:32.550 Clement reasoned that just one drop of Christ's blood would have sufficed for the 12:32.550 --> 12:34.650 redemption of the whole human race. 12:36.170 --> 12:42.730 But the remainder of that blood shed on the cross its virtue increased by the 12:42.730 --> 12:49.150 merits of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the supererogatory works of the saints which 12:49.150 --> 12:54.810 is above and beyond the good works and the deeds necessary for their own salvation 12:55.710 --> 13:01.750 constitutes the treasury the bank the bank referred to above. 13:02.870 --> 13:13.770 By papal bull of 1476 Pope Pius IV Pope Sixtus IV extended this privilege to the 13:13.770 --> 13:20.210 souls in purgatory reducing their time of suffering there provided that their living 13:20.210 --> 13:23.530 relatives purchased indulgences for them. 13:25.270 --> 13:26.430 Ka-ching! 13:26.770 --> 13:27.430 Ka-ching! 13:27.770 --> 13:28.330 Ka-ching! 13:29.490 --> 13:31.290 You got a relative in purgatory? 13:31.910 --> 13:32.810 No problem. 13:33.410 --> 13:37.430 You just go to the Roman Catholic Church and give them everything you can spare and 13:37.430 --> 13:41.250 they will say a certain amount of masses for your dead relative. 13:42.610 --> 13:46.710 Now, how many masses it's going to take to get him out of purgatory, nobody knows. 13:47.630 --> 13:52.950 So to play it safe, you better ring the cash cow several times as many times as 13:52.950 --> 13:53.850 possible. 13:54.710 --> 14:00.410 Since your dead relative didn't leave the farm and the house and the kids to the 14:00.410 --> 14:08.850 church you, you, you, descendants of this dead person can well, get an extra job if 14:08.850 --> 14:16.110 you care that much about your beloved relative in purgatory get an extra job and 14:16.110 --> 14:20.350 give us your wages, your extra wages and we'll save masses until the cows come 14:20.350 --> 14:20.770 home. 14:21.570 --> 14:22.530 Ka-ching! 14:22.890 --> 14:23.530 Ka-ching! 14:23.890 --> 14:24.430 Ka-ching! 14:25.390 --> 14:28.410 Now you know why Roman Catholic Churches are gold-plated. 14:30.210 --> 14:36.450 Because you believed in this imaginary purgatory and this imaginary indulgence 14:36.450 --> 14:41.770 that you can buy to release your friend or family member from purgatory. 14:43.830 --> 14:51.590 He says out of this quote-unquote treasury of the church salvation or redemption is 14:51.590 --> 14:56.770 dispensed a bit at a time by the Roman Catholic clergy through the seven 14:56.770 --> 14:57.550 sacraments. 14:57.550 --> 15:02.270 Remember the seven sacraments, the mass being the major one baptism, 15:02.850 --> 15:08.910 marriage, holy orders, extreme unction you participate in all these sacraments and 15:08.910 --> 15:14.470 each time you participate in these sacraments you know, another coin of merit 15:14.470 --> 15:18.990 drops into the, you know, to the bank to get you out of purgatory. 15:19.190 --> 15:19.690 Ka-ching! 15:19.890 --> 15:20.350 Ka-ching! 15:20.350 --> 15:26.210 Alright, it says there's no way to know how much credit is granted for each deed 15:26.210 --> 15:31.810 each ritual or each indulgence or how long this process must continue. 15:32.870 --> 15:35.310 In other words, you're on the hook for the rest of your life. 15:36.570 --> 15:42.850 And after you die your children and your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren 15:42.850 --> 15:46.490 can continue to pay the church to get you out of purgatory. 15:47.170 --> 15:51.010 That means you better stay in pretty good standing with the rest of your family. 15:51.650 --> 15:58.310 If nobody says any masses for you after you die you just stay in purgatory until 15:58.310 --> 16:00.490 all of your sins have been 16:04.270 --> 16:06.070 well, burned away. 16:09.040 --> 16:14.940 Dave says, never is sufficient grace given to assure one of heaven in the Roman 16:14.940 --> 16:15.740 Catholic Church. 16:17.240 --> 16:20.180 Always more rosaries must be said. 16:20.460 --> 16:21.820 More masses performed. 16:22.460 --> 16:28.820 More offerings given to the church in order to obtain more grace from the 16:28.820 --> 16:29.260 church. 16:30.380 --> 16:36.520 Peter, whom Roman Catholics say was the first Pope warned of such, quote-unquote, 16:36.860 --> 16:43.960 false teachers who would, quote, bring in damnable heresies and through 16:43.960 --> 16:51.360 covetousness, that is greed for someone else's property shall they feign words 16:52.040 --> 17:00.840 shall with feigned words, with phony words flattery and other such like shall with 17:00.840 --> 17:09.480 feigned words make merchandise of you buying and selling the souls of men 17:11.160 --> 17:17.440 perfectly fulfilled in the Roman Catholic Church still people argue with me, 17:17.500 --> 17:22.760 oh, the Roman Catholic Church is a Christian church, Tom the Pope's a holy 17:22.760 --> 17:24.780 man, he preaches Jesus, doesn't he? 17:26.140 --> 17:28.880 Why do you criticize the Roman Catholic Church all the time? 17:30.060 --> 17:38.340 You might ask the same question of Dave Hunt and Thomas Harris and all the other 17:38.340 --> 17:42.240 authors that we've read on Inquisition Update over how many years now? 17:42.360 --> 17:42.740 Seven? 17:44.680 --> 17:46.100 They all said the same thing. 17:49.450 --> 17:56.010 You know, if it walks like a duck it talks like a duck and it poops like a duck, 17:56.090 --> 17:57.170 it's probably a duck. 17:58.150 --> 18:04.990 Well, the Roman Catholic Church is the synagogue of Satan and the papacy is the 18:04.990 --> 18:10.110 biblical, historical and prophetic antichrist and there's so much evidence to 18:10.110 --> 18:15.370 prove it, that it would take well, it's taken me over seven years just to 18:15.370 --> 18:20.910 read the books of proof and I haven't even gotten a good start yet. 18:24.750 --> 18:33.310 Merchandise indeed no gold mine could compare with the merchandise and the gold 18:33.310 --> 18:38.410 that is created by the Roman Catholic Church through the sale of indulgences to 18:38.410 --> 18:40.710 spring one's soul from purgatory. 18:41.970 --> 18:50.870 In Roman Catholicism one never passes from death unto life as Christ promised in John 18:50.870 --> 18:58.430 chapter 5 verse 24 but is always in the process of earning salvation with the 18:58.430 --> 19:04.730 church's help and with the expectancy of finishing the purging process in 19:04.730 --> 19:05.530 purgatory. 19:07.070 --> 19:12.370 In fact, excommunication is the penalty for a Roman Catholic to say he is saved 19:12.810 --> 19:16.810 and knows that he has eternal life through faith in Christ's finished work. 19:17.250 --> 19:21.270 That's right, if you stand up in a Roman Catholic Church and declare yourself saved 19:21.270 --> 19:27.830 blood bought by Jesus Christ, redeemed by the precious blood of the Lamb and your 19:27.830 --> 19:33.210 home is already being built for you in heaven you're ipso facto excommunicated 19:33.210 --> 19:38.630 from the Roman Catholic Church because you've sprung yourself free of the bondage 19:38.630 --> 19:42.050 of Rome and you might lead everyone else out the door. 19:44.350 --> 19:48.030 So they just damn you and kick you out of the church. 19:49.230 --> 19:58.010 He says the very heart of the gospel that evangelicals affirm is denied by Roman 19:58.010 --> 20:05.590 Catholicism in its official catechisms its official canon laws its official decrees 20:05.590 --> 20:11.890 and its official dogmas and those who dare to affirm the biblical gospel are 20:11.890 --> 20:18.110 anathematized and damned And as history records, are mercilessly tortured, 20:18.810 --> 20:21.210 even burned alive at the stake. 20:22.350 --> 20:25.070 And Rome calls that evangelism. 20:29.120 --> 20:34.480 Under the subtitle, Meriting Grace, Dave Haunt says, there's almost no limit 20:34.480 --> 20:41.700 to the ingenious means of grace, the ingenious means of grace which Popes 20:41.700 --> 20:45.420 and their assistants have imaginably invented. 20:46.600 --> 20:52.500 One of the most popular ways to merit grace, a contradiction in and of itself, 20:53.240 --> 21:00.400 is through wearing the brown scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, to which we've 21:00.400 --> 21:01.540 already referred. 21:02.840 --> 21:08.860 The Sabatine, that is, the Saturday Privilege, they call it, is based on a 21:08.860 --> 21:14.900 Roman Catholic papal bull allegedly issued on March 3rd, 1322 by Pope John XXII, 21:14.900 --> 21:23.560 declaring that those who wear the scapular and fulfill two other conditions will be 21:23.560 --> 21:30.500 freed from purgatory by the Virgin Mary on the first Saturday after death. 21:31.020 --> 21:34.600 So where do I go to buy my scapular? 21:35.340 --> 21:35.940 Ka-ching! 21:36.240 --> 21:36.840 Ka-ching! 21:37.020 --> 21:38.600 You buy it from the Roman Catholic Church. 21:38.600 --> 21:44.540 And if you pay enough, you get your little two pieces of cloth tied together with a 21:44.540 --> 21:48.240 string to throw over your shoulder underneath your undershirt so nobody sees 21:48.240 --> 21:49.720 how ridiculous you are. 21:50.620 --> 21:56.580 You can send that scapular to the Pope and have it particularly blessed, and then it 21:56.580 --> 21:59.300 has the power of kryptonite against Satan, right? 22:00.360 --> 22:04.500 You throw this thing over your shoulder, you cover it all up so nobody can see it, 22:04.500 --> 22:08.720 and Mary's graces protect you day and night. 22:09.300 --> 22:11.600 That is, as long as you're wearing the scapular. 22:13.740 --> 22:15.260 Yeah, that's the ticket. 22:15.820 --> 22:20.760 Oh, and by the way, if you belong to this cult in the Roman Catholic Church that 22:20.760 --> 22:27.840 wears the scapular, it guarantees you that you will be sprung from purgatory the 22:27.840 --> 22:30.180 first Saturday after your death. 22:30.180 --> 22:37.440 So you want to make arrangements with God or whoever to make sure you die just 22:37.440 --> 22:45.840 before midnight Friday night, so that you're immediately, come midnight Saturday 22:45.840 --> 22:47.820 morning, you're sprung from purgatory. 22:48.920 --> 22:51.220 See if you can arrange that for me. 22:51.960 --> 22:57.600 Now, in spite of the heresies and evil of Pope John XXII, which are legion, 22:57.600 --> 23:05.080 many other popes, such as Antichrist Alexander V, Antichrist Clement VII, 23:05.340 --> 23:13.980 Antichrist Pope Pius V, Antichrist Gregory XIII, etc., etc., etc., have confirmed 23:13.980 --> 23:20.560 this pope's teaching about the brown scapular, which in itself is so obviously 23:20.560 --> 23:22.100 contrary to scripture. 23:23.440 --> 23:30.260 Pope Pius X declared, quote, I wear the cloth, let us never take it off, 23:30.560 --> 23:31.120 unquote. 23:31.880 --> 23:34.020 He was a poet, didn't know it, right? 23:34.500 --> 23:37.540 He was also Antichrist, and he knew that. 23:38.380 --> 23:41.680 He says, I wear the cloth, let us never take it off. 23:43.180 --> 23:47.320 I wonder if this is where we get the expression, a man of the cloth. 23:48.300 --> 23:50.620 Anybody ever do any research on that? 23:50.980 --> 23:55.940 How did the expression, a man of the cloth, ever get coined in the world? 23:56.600 --> 24:01.320 One of my listeners that loves the program and loves me, I don't have very many 24:01.320 --> 24:07.420 lovers, but if you can do this research for me, I'd sure appreciate it. 24:07.820 --> 24:11.020 Where did the phrase, man of the cloth, come from? 24:12.200 --> 24:17.260 I suspect, I don't have any proof at all, but I suspect it may come if you wear the 24:17.260 --> 24:19.700 cloth of Mary, the scapular. 24:20.480 --> 24:22.400 You become a man of the cloth. 24:23.340 --> 24:24.280 Help me out, will you? 24:24.420 --> 24:25.980 You've got a little extra time today. 24:26.620 --> 24:31.740 Do a little hustle for me and see if you can find out the origins of the coined 24:31.740 --> 24:34.180 phrase, man of the cloth. 24:34.300 --> 24:35.540 I'd love to hear this one. 24:36.040 --> 24:37.700 We'll be back right after the message. 24:56.310 --> 25:06.170 First Amendment Radio You're listening to firstamendmentradio.com worldwide. 25:06.690 -->

crosstheborder.org. 25:27.090 --> 25:30.910 When it comes to prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world 25:30.910 --> 25:35.490 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will 25:35.490 --> 25:36.310 begin to be built. 25:36.970 --> 25:38.070 The plans are drawn. 25:38.190 --> 25:39.490 The Jewish people are eager. 25:39.490 --> 25:43.850 Most Evangelical Christians today believe that the rapture will happen before the 25:43.850 --> 25:44.830 Third Temple is built. 25:45.270 --> 25:46.790 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 25:47.310 --> 25:49.970 I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 25:50.590 --> 25:52.250 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 25:52.910 --> 25:55.850 Have we searched the scriptures and found this to be true? 25:56.550 --> 26:00.170 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third 26:00.170 --> 26:01.010 Temple in Jerusalem? 26:01.610 --> 26:06.250 Is it necessary to build a temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome 26:06.250 --> 26:06.950 of the Rocks? 26:06.950 --> 26:11.330 Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the temple on Temple Mount? 26:12.050 --> 26:15.110 Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation? 26:15.730 --> 26:17.370 What is the New Testament temple? 26:18.230 --> 26:20.330 Can we identify history and prophecy? 26:21.110 --> 26:24.070 Who is the first beast in Revelation chapter 13? 26:24.790 --> 26:27.330 Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17? 26:28.030 --> 26:31.410 I have asked all these questions, and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new 26:31.410 --> 26:36.530 book, When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using 26:36.530 --> 26:38.150 scripture to interpret scripture. 26:38.890 --> 26:42.250 The Bible says that no prophecy of scripture is of any private 26:42.250 --> 26:42.990 interpretation. 26:43.810 --> 26:46.690 Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built, 26:47.070 --> 26:51.330 how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation. 26:52.290 --> 26:58.690 Visit crosstheborder.org, c-r-o-s-s, crosstheborder.org to get

listening. 29:35.430 --> 29:37.690 Ok, welcome back from the break. 29:37.790 --> 29:41.290 You're listening to the second half hour of Inquisition Update on First Amendment 29:41.290 --> 29:41.710 Radio. 29:42.230 --> 29:46.910 By the way, if you're rising to the challenge to discover for me the root of 29:46.910 --> 29:52.730 the coin phrase, man of the cloth, send me your information. 29:53.650 --> 29:56.370 Links to the internet, wherever you found your information. 29:56.370 --> 29:58.970 Send it to Tom at SeaWaves.us. 29:59.250 --> 30:00.170 I'd love to see it. 30:01.010 --> 30:08.570 Tom at SeaWaves.us Anyway, we're talking about one of the many indulgences that you 30:08.570 --> 30:14.110 can purchase from the Roman Catholic Church with money or land, property of any 30:14.110 --> 30:19.270 kind, or services that you can rent to the church, such as burning a heretic 30:19.270 --> 30:21.870 Protestant. 30:23.770 --> 30:25.830 It's called the brown scapular. 30:27.530 --> 30:32.610 And it's worn by Roman Catholics who belong to this scapular cult. 30:33.510 --> 30:42.110 And they use it to ward off evil and to gain access to heaven and skip purgatory 30:42.110 --> 30:42.750 altogether. 30:43.490 --> 30:45.810 You know this thing must be real expensive. 30:46.770 --> 30:57.110 Anyway, it says Pope Pius XI joyfully confessed, quote, I learned to love the 30:57.110 --> 31:00.650 scapular virgin in the arms of my mother, unquote. 31:01.750 --> 31:07.070 In other words, his mother perverted him into this Marian cult. 31:08.430 --> 31:13.710 Pope Pius V affirmed that, quote, the Blessed Virgin will aid the souls of 31:13.710 --> 31:18.710 the brothers and sisters of the confraternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary 31:18.710 --> 31:23.770 of Mount Carmel after their death, unquote. 31:24.990 --> 31:29.890 Now if you wear the brown scapular, you are a member, you are a brother or a 31:29.890 --> 31:34.690 sister of the confraternity of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel. 31:35.450 --> 31:36.110 Wow! 31:36.970 --> 31:38.410 Where do I get mine? 31:39.300 --> 31:45.450 Pope Benedict XV offered a, quote, partial indulgence for kissing the 31:45.450 --> 31:46.870 scapular, unquote. 31:47.750 --> 31:48.510 Yes, that's right. 31:48.650 --> 31:53.750 You can pull off your shirt and your undershirt and remove the scapular from 31:53.750 --> 31:56.090 around your neck and kiss it. 31:56.230 --> 31:59.970 You get extra graces applied to your account. 32:01.210 --> 32:02.210 That's right. 32:03.150 --> 32:10.230 And in 1950, quote, Pope Pius XII wrote the now famous words concerning the 32:10.230 --> 32:17.370 scapular, quote, Let it be your sign of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of 32:17.370 --> 32:23.450 Mary, which we are particularly urging in these perilous times, unquote. 32:25.230 --> 32:28.890 You might be asking yourself, where is any of this found in the gospel? 32:29.910 --> 32:30.750 Well, it's not. 32:31.750 --> 32:33.010 It's Rome's gospel. 32:33.970 --> 32:38.630 We've already noted the fatal contradiction that indulgences are 32:38.630 --> 32:44.330 designed to shorten suffering in purgatory, yet that very suffering is 32:44.330 --> 32:50.290 supposed to be essential in order to be purged from entrance into heaven. 32:50.990 --> 32:52.850 It makes no sense. 32:53.530 --> 32:59.590 Moreover, one can only wonder how and why an indulgence obtained by means of adoring 32:59.590 --> 33:05.370 a crucifix or having a mass said is even more potent than Christ's actual death on 33:05.370 --> 33:10.630 the cross and how such representations of Calvary can accomplish what Christ's death 33:10.630 --> 33:11.610 could not. 33:12.570 --> 33:13.410 That's right. 33:13.470 --> 33:16.810 It wasn't enough for Jesus to die on the cross to shed his blood. 33:17.710 --> 33:20.410 The perfect Lamb of God was not sufficient. 33:21.410 --> 33:24.290 You've got to buy an indulgence from the Roman Catholic Church. 33:26.390 --> 33:33.970 See what you got when you sign the agreements of capitulation at Vatican 33:33.970 --> 33:35.890 Council II's ecumenism? 33:36.850 --> 33:40.810 You've united yourself with the whore of Revelation chapter 17. 33:41.090 --> 33:43.690 She's for sale to the highest bidder. 33:44.430 --> 33:46.470 And she'll sleep with anybody. 33:46.950 --> 33:49.690 Even a heretic Protestant if he's got enough money. 33:51.490 --> 33:53.710 That's what Vatican Council II did. 33:55.010 --> 33:59.210 It polluted those who once called themselves Protestants. 34:00.410 --> 34:02.270 And God is furious. 34:03.970 --> 34:06.250 Again, it makes no sense. 34:07.150 --> 34:09.630 But the Catholic has been taught not to reason. 34:10.570 --> 34:11.850 Not to reason why. 34:11.850 --> 34:13.150 Not to ask questions. 34:13.730 --> 34:16.110 But simply to accept what the church says. 34:17.130 --> 34:20.390 Check your brain, your Bible, and your coat at the door. 34:20.550 --> 34:25.690 Come in and listen to your priest and just mindlessly do whatever he says. 34:27.630 --> 34:31.130 And you know our once Protestant churches are the same way. 34:32.130 --> 34:34.790 Man, you don't even have to bring your Bible to the church. 34:35.070 --> 34:36.350 It's just dead weight. 34:37.450 --> 34:39.710 Just put on your best clothes. 34:40.630 --> 34:42.450 Your shiniest shoes. 34:42.670 --> 34:44.090 All your bling bling. 34:44.790 --> 34:46.850 You can even wear your Masonic ring. 34:47.830 --> 34:48.910 Come to the church. 34:49.250 --> 34:53.410 The beautiful church that your money has paid for. 34:53.770 --> 34:55.710 Your hard earned money has paid for. 34:55.810 --> 34:56.650 The central air. 34:57.150 --> 34:58.610 The cushioned pews. 34:58.990 --> 35:00.670 The red carpet on the floor. 35:00.810 --> 35:02.030 The stained glass windows. 35:02.170 --> 35:05.150 And that beautiful steeple on top of the church. 35:06.390 --> 35:08.630 Wear your Sunday best. 35:09.710 --> 35:16.270 And if you don't have adequate clothing, please go to the best clothiers. 35:17.230 --> 35:21.710 Because we want all of our slaves to look real nice when they come to worship us. 35:23.170 --> 35:25.570 That's what God's house has become. 35:26.650 --> 35:27.470 A den of thieves. 35:28.270 --> 35:32.070 You know Jesus, when he walked the streets of Jerusalem, saw what was going on. 35:32.610 --> 35:34.150 What the church was doing. 35:34.350 --> 35:36.010 Making merchandise of men. 35:37.690 --> 35:40.270 Selling indulgences in front of God's house. 35:40.670 --> 35:42.130 He made a whip. 35:42.310 --> 35:43.230 A scourge. 35:43.950 --> 35:44.810 And he whipped them. 35:46.070 --> 35:49.510 He said, you've turned my father's house into a den of thieves. 35:54.150 --> 35:55.270 Ecumenical evangelicalism. 35:56.730 --> 35:59.850 And if you criticize it, you must be a heretic. 36:01.190 --> 36:02.570 You must be punished. 36:03.570 --> 36:08.550 You must be jammed and maliciously interfered with. 36:08.690 --> 36:16.470 You must be calumniated and criticized by pious Christians thinking they are doing 36:16.470 --> 36:19.150 God's service by driving you off the air. 36:20.710 --> 36:22.610 That's what you get for telling the truth. 36:23.630 --> 36:25.210 Kicked from your house. 36:26.350 --> 36:28.970 Made a pariah in the community. 36:30.810 --> 36:34.330 Denounced as a radical religious fundamentalist. 36:35.610 --> 36:37.630 That's what you get when you tell the truth. 36:38.610 --> 36:40.010 Can you pay the price? 36:40.970 --> 36:44.470 Well look, I don't pay this price to enter my way into heaven. 36:44.950 --> 36:46.190 To buy my way into heaven. 36:46.330 --> 36:47.970 I've already been sprung. 36:49.290 --> 36:50.870 My home is in the making. 36:52.230 --> 36:54.630 In my father's house are many mansions. 36:54.770 --> 36:56.610 If it were not so, I would have told you. 36:57.270 --> 37:01.650 I go to prepare a place for you that where I am there ye may be also. 37:02.610 --> 37:03.730 No charge. 37:04.590 --> 37:05.710 I paid it all. 37:07.530 --> 37:16.090 So, if that's what I believe, and I do, I'll pay whatever price the bloodsuckers 37:16.090 --> 37:16.470 want. 37:17.490 --> 37:19.870 Because for me to die is gain. 37:21.710 --> 37:28.210 Vatican Council 2 has a large section containing 20 complex provisions. 37:29.210 --> 37:36.270 Revising previous rules concerning when, how, and why an indulgence may be 37:36.270 --> 37:36.750 obtained. 37:37.890 --> 37:40.430 Yeah, Rome made a mistake. 37:41.010 --> 37:44.190 Rome had to rewrite the rules regarding indulgences. 37:45.630 --> 37:49.390 You know how this mistake was found, that was discovered? 37:49.870 --> 37:50.950 The Protestant Reformation. 37:51.990 --> 37:56.170 You see, the Protestant Reformation started as a protest against indulgences. 37:56.330 --> 37:59.790 The buying and selling of salvation by the Roman Catholic Church. 38:00.970 --> 38:02.890 That's what started the whole thing. 38:03.830 --> 38:09.830 So, Rome had to revise her teaching on indulgences. 38:09.830 --> 38:16.710 One is reminded of Christ's denunciation of the rabbis in Matthew chapter 23. 38:17.810 --> 38:23.090 For devising a labyrinth of rules that kept the people dependent upon their 38:23.090 --> 38:24.330 spiritual guidance. 38:25.190 --> 38:27.430 Rome has done exactly the same thing. 38:28.430 --> 38:33.330 It would take a lawyer specializing in Roman Catholic canon law to unravel the 38:33.330 --> 38:41.490 intricacies of how and when to maximize the various offers of grace from the Roman 38:41.490 --> 38:42.330 Catholic Church. 38:43.270 --> 38:45.030 The following is illustrative. 38:45.570 --> 38:45.830 Listen. 38:46.250 --> 38:52.830 Quote, the faithful who use with devotion an object of piety. 38:53.150 --> 38:55.310 An object of piety. 38:56.190 --> 39:01.950 That's an image or an idol strictly forbidden in God's holy law. 39:02.410 --> 39:04.610 The first commandment, the second commandment. 39:05.410 --> 39:11.090 Is the faithful who use with devotion an object of piety. 39:11.090 --> 39:16.470 Whether it be a crucifix, a cross, a rosary, a scapular or metal. 39:17.130 --> 39:23.650 After it has been duly blessed by any priest can gain a partial indulgence. 39:24.430 --> 39:29.330 But if this object of piety is blessed by the pope or any bishop. 39:29.330 --> 39:38.550 The faithful who use it with devotion can also gain plenary, that is full 39:38.550 --> 39:39.530 indulgence. 39:39.960 --> 39:42.750 On the feast of the apostles Peter and Paul. 39:43.130 --> 39:49.790 Provided they also make a profession of faith using any approved formula. 39:50.870 --> 39:56.410 Quoting further they say, quote, the way, that is partial indulgences. 39:56.410 --> 40:03.690 The way have been determined hitherto by days and years is abolished. 40:04.730 --> 40:08.730 Instead a new standard for measuring them has been laid down. 40:09.230 --> 40:14.750 From now on a partial indulgence will be indicated only with the words, 40:15.350 --> 40:17.430 quote, unquote, partial indulgence. 40:18.170 --> 40:22.550 Without any determination of days or years, unquote. 40:22.550 --> 40:30.350 So for your money you buy your scapular, you get your plenary or you get your 40:30.350 --> 40:31.610 partial indulgence. 40:32.870 --> 40:36.650 But it doesn't tell you how partial it is. 40:37.230 --> 40:42.570 In other words you don't know if it is a day or an hour or a month or a year or a 40:42.570 --> 40:43.770 century or a millennium. 40:44.910 --> 40:46.790 That it buys you out of purgatory. 40:47.690 --> 40:52.110 It's like going to the store and saying, I'll give you ten bucks for a bag of beans 40:52.110 --> 40:53.730 and they sell you a bag of beans. 40:53.830 --> 40:55.750 But you are not allowed to weigh it. 40:55.890 --> 40:58.710 You are not allowed to know how many beans are in the bag. 40:59.770 --> 41:00.990 Sound like a deal? 41:01.830 --> 41:06.890 How would you like it to go to the store to buy a bag of beans, pay ten dollars for 41:06.890 --> 41:07.550 a bag of beans. 41:07.690 --> 41:09.790 You get home and there is a half a dozen beans in it. 41:10.830 --> 41:13.250 You just have to take the church's word. 41:13.890 --> 41:15.810 That's a full bag of beans. 41:17.650 --> 41:21.750 Rome won't even put a label on her packages telling you what you are getting 41:21.750 --> 41:22.650 for your money. 41:24.570 --> 41:26.690 Kind of like going to Las Vegas, right? 41:26.910 --> 41:28.710 Keep chinking your money in. 41:29.250 --> 41:31.130 Maybe you'll win a prize. 41:31.790 --> 41:34.010 Ka-ching, Ka-ching, Ka-ching. 41:35.990 --> 41:37.050 Dave continues. 41:38.150 --> 41:44.690 If Rome was wrong in its rules concerning indulgences in the past, how can anyone be 41:44.690 --> 41:46.190 certain that she is correct now? 41:46.970 --> 41:50.350 And what of those who relied upon the previous rules? 41:51.170 --> 41:55.190 Of course, knocking off so many days or years in the past didn't really mean 41:55.190 --> 41:55.670 anything. 41:56.270 --> 42:01.410 Because the Roman Catholic Church can never say in the first place how much time 42:01.410 --> 42:03.050 had to be spent in purgatory. 42:04.190 --> 42:09.190 Nor does an indulgence under the new rules have any understandable significance 42:09.190 --> 42:09.770 today. 42:09.770 --> 42:16.670 And what kind of God would bend his justice for such contrivances, 42:17.630 --> 42:23.330 measuring out grace, depending upon whether the deed was done on a certain 42:23.330 --> 42:30.730 feast day, or whether a priest or a bishop had blessed the supposed sacred object? 42:31.870 --> 42:34.290 They made merchandise of you. 42:35.170 --> 42:39.270 Why don't you come out of the Roman Catholic Church and meet Jesus. 42:39.410 --> 42:40.290 I'll introduce you. 42:42.350 --> 42:48.970 The major means of acquiring an indulgence of unknown benefit is, of course, 42:49.550 --> 42:50.530 through the Mass. 42:51.710 --> 42:59.270 Canon number 904 states, quote, Remembering that the work of redemption is 42:59.270 --> 43:05.470 continually accomplished in the mystery of the Eucharistic sacrifice, that's the 43:05.470 --> 43:10.410 Mass, Priests are to celebrate frequently, unquote. 43:11.750 --> 43:17.710 Since you don't know how much grace is infused in you when you eat the Jesus 43:17.710 --> 43:20.150 cookie, you better eat a whole bunch of them. 43:21.210 --> 43:22.650 And you've got to pay for those. 43:23.470 --> 43:24.550 They're not free. 43:26.070 --> 43:33.110 As we've already noted, instead of being a memorial to an accomplished redemption, 43:33.670 --> 43:41.290 praise his holy name, each Mass takes another tiny step toward full redemption. 43:42.710 --> 43:45.970 No one knows how tiny that step is. 43:45.970 --> 43:53.030 But it must be minuscule indeed, judging by the millions of Masses that 43:53.030 --> 43:58.510 continue to be celebrated in every Roman Catholic Church, every day, all around the 43:58.510 --> 44:01.250 world, with uncertain results. 44:04.050 --> 44:06.450 Look, Jesus paid it all. 44:08.070 --> 44:10.170 He owns the earth and everything that's in it. 44:11.150 --> 44:12.590 He created it. 44:13.210 --> 44:14.170 By himself. 44:15.830 --> 44:18.710 Why go to the Roman Catholic Church and gamble? 44:20.890 --> 44:24.290 Why not just become a child of the King? 44:25.210 --> 44:26.870 A child of the Creator? 44:29.270 --> 44:32.870 The decision seems to be so easy to make. 44:34.830 --> 44:41.770 Instead of accepting a full and unconditioned pardon by the one who paid 44:41.770 --> 44:49.250 it all, a sure thing, they go to Rome like they go to Las Vegas and keep plunking 44:49.250 --> 44:58.810 their coins in the money monster and go home hoping that they bought something. 44:59.950 --> 45:00.650 Unbelievable. 45:02.150 --> 45:03.590 Salvation for sale. 45:04.210 --> 45:09.650 It was the sale of indulgences more than anything else that roused Martin Luther's 45:09.650 --> 45:15.730 ire to such an extent that he nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Wittenberg 45:15.730 --> 45:19.170 Castle Chapel and sparked the Protestant Reformation. 45:20.610 --> 45:24.930 As we've seen, salvation was told in many other ways besides indulgences. 45:26.570 --> 45:31.890 Salvation was sold in many other ways besides indulgences. 45:32.110 --> 45:33.290 And it still is today. 45:34.930 --> 45:37.950 Rome is still in the business of selling salvation. 45:38.810 --> 45:45.290 Though the fee is today called an offering, in fact, money changes hands 45:45.610 --> 45:52.090 with the promise of salvation as the incentive for the gift, they call. 45:54.650 --> 45:58.010 Historian Will Durant comments are interesting. 45:58.150 --> 46:05.570 He says, quote, Almost as mercenary as the sale of indulgences was the acceptance or 46:05.570 --> 46:12.870 solicitation by the Roman Catholic clergy of money payments, grants, legacies for 46:12.870 --> 46:20.070 the sayings of masses supposed to reduce a dead man's soul's term in punishment in 46:20.070 --> 46:20.710 purgatory. 46:21.650 --> 46:27.270 Large sums were devoted to this purpose by pious people, either to relieve a departed 46:27.270 --> 46:33.010 relative or a friend, or to shorten or annul their own purgatorial probation 46:33.010 --> 46:33.830 after death. 46:34.930 --> 46:41.190 The poor complained that through their inability to pay for masses and 46:41.190 --> 46:48.030 indulgences, it was the earthly rich, not the meek, who would inherit the 46:48.030 --> 46:48.750 kingdom of heaven. 46:49.690 --> 46:55.470 And Columbus ruefully praised money because he said, quote, He who possesses 46:55.470 --> 47:01.570 it has the power of transporting souls into paradise, unquote. 47:04.830 --> 47:06.450 What fraud! 47:07.350 --> 47:09.810 As though God could be bought off with money. 47:10.950 --> 47:17.690 In Spain, the annual papal bull of the crusade had to be purchased by everyone of 47:17.690 --> 47:20.930 seven years and older at least once a year. 47:21.830 --> 47:28.330 No one could be buried without the current bull in the coffin with the body. 47:29.890 --> 47:34.010 You could call this a burial tax if you want to, that you have to buy every year. 47:35.250 --> 47:40.170 And if you didn't have the current issue, the current certificate, the current bull 47:40.170 --> 47:42.050 from the Pope, they couldn't bury you. 47:44.430 --> 47:50.090 He says, upon purchase of the bull, the Pope immediately granted indulgences 47:50.090 --> 47:55.330 and absolution from all sins except heresy and the vow of chastity. 47:56.930 --> 48:01.670 A Roman Catholic observer in the 18th century Spain with reference to this 48:01.670 --> 48:07.930 diabolical bull made his damning comment, quote, Let us say that we may suspect that 48:07.930 --> 48:11.690 this bull sends more people into hell than it can save from it. 48:12.050 --> 48:16.910 For it is the greatest encouragement to sin in the world. 48:18.010 --> 48:22.770 A man says, I may satisfy my lusts and passions. 48:23.330 --> 48:25.550 I may commit all wickedness. 48:25.990 --> 48:32.410 And yet I'm sure to be pardoned of all by the taking of this bull for two reels of 48:32.410 --> 48:32.870 silver. 48:33.570 --> 48:38.830 By the same rule, their consciences cannot be under any remorse nor trouble. 48:38.830 --> 48:44.170 For if a man commits a great sin, he goes to confess, he gets absolution. 48:45.030 --> 48:49.010 He has by him this bull or permission to sin. 48:49.730 --> 48:52.990 And his conscience is at perfect ease. 48:53.490 --> 49:01.290 In so much that after he gets absolution, he may go and commit new sins and go again 49:01.290 --> 49:03.470 for absolution, unquote. 49:04.890 --> 49:07.270 See what these indulgences do? 49:07.270 --> 49:09.010 They promote sin. 49:10.010 --> 49:11.330 They promote sin. 49:13.370 --> 49:15.510 And that's what Rome's all about. 49:17.020 --> 49:19.250 Because it's not the church of Jesus Christ. 49:19.890 --> 49:21.710 It's the church of Satan. 49:23.190 --> 49:29.010 Well-known Roman Catholic apologist Peter Kreef claims that, quote, the church soon 49:29.010 --> 49:34.170 cleaned up its act and forbade, shortly after Martin Luther's defection, 49:35.050 --> 49:37.550 forbade the sell of indulgences, unquote. 49:38.730 --> 49:45.150 Charles Colson, Chuck Colson as I call him, 33rd degree Luciferian Chuck Colson, 49:45.510 --> 49:47.090 erroneously claims the same. 49:48.090 --> 49:50.230 Of course, that simply isn't true. 49:51.390 --> 49:57.350 But even if it were, one cannot dispense so easily with the gross deceit that 49:57.350 --> 50:03.410 milked the faithful of their money and robbed them of salvation at the same time. 50:04.870 --> 50:11.290 The sale of salvation had deceived millions for centuries by the time of the 50:11.290 --> 50:12.210 Protestant Reformation. 50:13.150 --> 50:19.930 Were there any refunds given by the Roman Catholic Church to those they built for 50:19.930 --> 50:20.410 indulgences? 50:21.550 --> 50:22.070 No. 50:23.350 --> 50:24.410 Of course not. 50:25.330 --> 50:31.170 Any remedy for those who had passed into eternity thinking they had bought their 50:31.170 --> 50:31.650 salvation? 50:32.850 --> 50:33.330 No. 50:34.390 --> 50:40.690 Tragically, the fraud continues to this very day, and there's nary a Protestant 50:40.690 --> 50:44.010 voice raised in opposition to it. 50:46.010 --> 50:51.250 Kreeft, like other Roman Catholic apologists, omits the fact that the false 50:51.250 --> 50:57.450 and evil doctrine of indulgences remains an integral part of present Roman 50:57.450 --> 51:02.210 Catholicism, and that money is still given to secure salvation. 51:03.330 --> 51:09.150 As we have earlier noted, Vatican Council 2 declares, "...the Church commands that 51:09.150 --> 51:16.510 the usage of indulgences should be kept, and it condemns with damnation those who 51:16.510 --> 51:22.030 say that indulgences are useless or that the Roman Catholic Church does not have 51:22.030 --> 51:30.570 the power to grant them for the task of winning salvation." It's no good to plead 51:30.570 --> 51:34.430 that the abominations of the past are no longer practiced by Rome. 51:34.910 --> 51:39.770 Of course they are, and quite openly, especially in Roman Catholic countries, 51:39.890 --> 51:44.090 though less so in the United States of America, where there might be a few 51:44.090 --> 51:46.130 Protestants that might protest. 51:48.010 --> 51:55.070 Yet even here, salvation in baby steps towards heaven, of course, may be 51:55.070 --> 51:58.490 purchased by offerings to the Roman Catholic Church. 51:59.930 --> 52:04.490 One friendly of the author, whose father died recently in the United States, 52:04.610 --> 52:12.390 said that more than $2,000 was extended for mass cards at his father's funeral, 52:13.130 --> 52:17.390 which would allow for a number of masses to be set on his behalf to help get him 52:17.390 --> 52:18.210 out of purgatory. 52:19.770 --> 52:24.610 $2,000 at the funeral was collected by the Roman Catholic Church. 52:25.130 --> 52:31.750 Two grand for masses to be set on this man's behalf to spring him from this 52:31.750 --> 52:33.950 imagined place called purgatory. 52:35.150 --> 52:37.770 You talk about extortion? 52:39.770 --> 52:41.150 It's robbery. 52:41.150 --> 52:45.670 And it denies Christ. 52:48.010 --> 52:51.410 Rome has given her people a gospel of despair. 52:52.410 --> 52:55.090 Multitudes of Roman Catholics live in dread. 53:20.870 --> 53:25.090 And for that, corporate advertising dollars come with strings that limit 53:25.090 --> 53:26.170 program content. 53:26.590 --> 53:31.290 So without your help, these programs cannot continue on satellite, internet, 53:31.510 --> 53:33.810 or our several affiliates. 53:34.170 --> 53:38.810 If you benefit by the educational law programs, we ask you to give. 53:39.250 --> 53:44.130 If you are admonished or nurtured by the Bible and ministry programs, we ask you to 53:44.130 --> 53:44.290 give. 53:44.750 --> 53:49.910 If some voice accosts that you are passionate about, we ask you to give. 53:50.870 --> 53:54.990 If you believe in any of these, we ask you to support them as you would a 53:54.990 --> 54:00.270 missionary on a continual basis, as if giving a tithe for missionary radio. 54:00.790 --> 54:05.810 These programs are not commercially viable and must be supported by those faithful to 54:05.810 --> 54:06.810 the cause of truth. 54:07.430 --> 54:11.350 Look for the button to sponsor your favorite programs at our listen and 54:11.350 --> 54:13.190 schedule pages on the internet. 54:13.970 --> 54:18.130 We will also give you unlimited archive access to all of our programs. 54:18.130 --> 54:23.630 We are asking you to give much less than a tithe, so that you may also send support 54:23.630 --> 54:29.470 directly to a particular program host, cause, and anywhere else the Spirit may 54:29.470 --> 54:30.030 lead you. 54:30.530 --> 54:36.310 Do all to the glory of our God and Creator, for His holy nation, the only 54:36.310 --> 54:38.490 kingdom that will last forever. 54:39.170 --> 54:40.490 Thank you for listening. 54:48.250 --> 54:53.930 Visit crosstheborder.org, C-R-O-S-S, crosstheborder.org, to get your print, 54:54.050 --> 54:59.270 e-pub, or PDF version of Nicholas Arthur's new book titled, When the Third Temple is 54:59.270 --> 54:59.590 Built. 54:59.830 --> 55:01.550 That's crosstheborder.org. 55:01.950 --> 55:05.630 When it comes to prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world 55:05.630 --> 55:10.230 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will 55:10.230 --> 55:11.010 begin to be built. 55:11.010 --> 55:12.850 The plans are drawn. 55:12.950 --> 55:14.270 The Jewish people are eager. 55:14.890 --> 55:18.590 Most Evangelical Christians today believe that the rapture will happen before the 55:18.590 --> 55:19.570 Third Temple is built. 55:19.850 --> 55:21.530 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 55:22.090 --> 55:24.710 I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 55:25.330 --> 55:26.970 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 55:27.630 --> 55:30.570 Have we searched the scriptures and found this to be true? 55:31.290 --> 55:34.910 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third 55:34.910 --> 55:35.750 Temple in Jerusalem?
