Thank you very much.
I'm so glad to see you back, some of you who were here last night.
And this evening you will follow much better what Christ has done in my life.
Tonight we will share with you why I became a Roman Catholic priest.
Are you expecting since of yesterday why I left the priesthood?
Well, we are to arrive to that tomorrow.
But tonight you need to hear why I became a Roman Catholic priest.
And that will give you a better understanding why I left the Roman
Catholic priesthood.
For priests that have left the Roman Catholic priesthood, there are many who
are 1,600 years.
We will say that there is a tremendous amount.
I will say this, there are more priests, Roman Catholic priests, that have left the
Roman Catholic priesthood and all the history of the Roman Catholic institution,
that's what they stay in.
The majority always have left.
During the Vatican Council decision from 1952 to 1965 alone, the statistics were
very clear and dramatic.
More than 100,000 priests and religious persons always somehow they depart from
their office within the priesthood and within the clergy.
Some monks, some nuns, convents and monasteries, entire convents and
monasteries were closed down, still being closed even until this day.
And seminars, especially all what was called minor seminars, they all around the
world, they all were closed down.
Minor seminars are no longer working.
There is now what is called major seminars.
Now that tells you the dimension of the struggle within the Roman Catholic clergy
without the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I said yesterday and I repeat the same, you have as a Roman Catholic more than one
reason in your entire life, already from your childhood, more than one reason,
without the Bible, without the gospel, without any confrontation by the priest
and other gospels, you have already within Catholicism at least more than one reason
why you should quit Roman Catholicism.
The priest has gone through a dilemma too.
The nuns, the monks, bishops and cardinals, they have arrived sometime in
their life to that point, to that confrontation, to that crucial moment when
they have to decide either to stay in with a consciousness that already feel nothing,
hear nothing, or to get out and be at least a human.
Those who stay in within their own consciousness, they become already beast.
I said they are no longer function as humans, they become beast.
The pages of history are full of these manifestations in the Muslims,
even in contemporary history.
You will see that a priest in that condition can do anything and can become
anything from morning until night.
He can kill, he can commit any immoral act, not just in private but even in
public, in a state of confusion and desperation.
The news media carry this news every 24 hours around the clock, around the world,
even in Australia.
Perhaps you need to read all your papers, because I received a clip in California.
Then we are not to be surprised that priests leave the priesthood.
What is a surprise is that priests leave the Roman Catholic priesthood not for the
same reason that they become priests, as you will see the reason, but for a
different reason.
When a priest leaves the Roman Catholic priesthood not because of the gospel of
Jesus Christ, then they have trouble to follow up with them for the rest of their
life until the day they found Christ.
But when a priest leaves the Roman Catholic priesthood because of the gospel
of Jesus Christ, now they find even the reason why they became priests.
No gospel, no Christ, they don't even know why they are priests, except because
tradition.
I will show you through all these levels how my own personal experience with the
gospel make me to become aware that as I was the product, being a Roman Catholic,
being a prophet, and being baptized as a Catholic, I was the product of the
greatest perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The second stage in my life becoming a priest became the same, became the product
of the perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In other words, there is no priest that ever will have evidence or proof that his
priesthood could be based within the gospel of Jesus Christ.
As there is no Roman Catholic that can base you yesterday that he is a Catholic,
or she is a Catholic, or you are a Roman Catholic because the gospel of Christ.
You have no proof, no evidence within the gospel of your Catholicism.
The search for my personal identity as a Roman Catholic, as you saw yesterday,
as you hear yesterday, then I told you already, there is no way in the gospel of
Christ that you can find evidence to have any identity with Christ, because Catholic
Christians have no identity with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Once you cannot identify yourself as a Roman Catholic with Christ, with the
person of Christ, with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, it's because you could not
find that identification through his doctrine and through his teachings.
Tradition, contrary to the gospel of Jesus Christ, is not the product of the gospel
of Jesus Christ, it's the product of paganism and Judaism, a combination of
both.
And the third ingredient here, the perversion of the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
The Roman Catholic have the same dilemma.
As I search for my identity, as I was going to a minor seminar, and then a major
seminar, and then in the Jesuit novice stage, as I try to find that identity with
my preparation to become a priest, the more that I try to find it within the
Old Testament, within the New Testament, the farther away that I was.
Not closer, but farther away from the Christ that I was told that was calling me
to become a priest.
For seminarians in a Roman Catholic seminar, the identity they are given is
that they are becoming a priest because Christ and the cross already called people
to become priests, men to become priests.
And the greatest, most dramatic example for a seminarian to be given is that there
is Christ and the cross crying for the priesthood.
But interesting enough is that when I went myself to search for that identity within
the Bible, I could not find no even traces that no God, no Christ, not the Holy
Spirit ever has called a man to be a priest.
Now let me start to begin with as I was led of the Holy Spirit myself to the time
of the process of my conversion to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Read with me in the book of Hebrews.
Now this is one of the books that are more of hate by priests than any other books in
the Bible.
And I'm sure you will understand why.
It's precisely here where the Holy Spirit speak about the altar, the sacrifices,
and the Jewish priesthood.
They have served as a base for that mixture of these ingredients of paganism,
tradition, and the perversion of the gospel for the Roman Catholic priesthood.
Now I suggest you, as Pastor Hunter has mentioned before, to carry with this
faith, and it is necessary to obtain this video, that you can not only know more and
understand better.
My pronunciation is very, very, very well, especially individually my own
pronunciation.
Then you have to depart from peculiarities.
In order to do that, I advise you to hear again the message, and think or announce
that you can get what you are not able to get while you listen to me.
Then you will get closer and closer, and finally, you'll end up speaking as I
do.
Praise God for that.
Now, perhaps I hear some different stuff here in Australia than I hear in England
or in the United States, and I say, why not?
Maybe there is room for more.
I advise you last night, again and again, to obtain this publication.
Whether you want it or not, whether you like it or not, whether you oppose it or
not, you must have it.
It's in your own benefit to do it.
And some people told me, you know why he's promoting this, you know why he's doing
this, even though he was not a priest.
Oh, what happened there is he's making this fake story just because of business.
Well, I have some bad news for you about business.
Because if I were to do good business, economically speaking, I would never think
to write this.
I would be the most stupid person in the whole world.
In order to do business, you are in the wrong place to do business when you attack
Roman Catholicism.
You are not even lucky.
But I'm glad that I'm blessed, not lucky, blessed because God has chosen
and called me to do exactly this.
Then you must think wisely and not only reason this, but reason to enlighten the
lives of others that need so much light of the gospel of Christ.
Then pick them up this evening when you leave.
And there is something that I cannot, every night I'll be giving you some tips
about different publications that you should obtain.
But these five, a part of the testimony of Christ and my wife Alberto, then you have
double cross, the second part, and then you have the Godfather,
and then you have the fourth, and then you have the fourth horseman.
And one more is coming.
As I left California, I was told by the publishing house, chief publications,
that the sixth part is getting ready to go to press.
The artwork already is finished and it's ready to go to press.
We expect in a couple of months Brother Hunter will have it here.
That is called the process.
Now that has been delayed for almost two years.
We pray that beginning next year you will have the opportunity perhaps every six
months I have all the other parts that will follow.
We are praying that miracle may take place and I see already signs that that will
take place.
Then as you obtain these publications, you cannot use this without this one.
And along with this, you should give this, when you give it to a Roman Catholic.
And you know why?
Because already they have been briefed on this by their priests and some Protestants
by their Protestant leaders.
They've been briefed about Alberto's publication that you need this along the
way.
Then get hold of this, whatever is Alberto, I have recommended all over
throughout the world, whatever I'm taking to preach the gospel, that this is a must
to go along.
I could do this in a major publication, but I always wait that God himself will
justify.
I will never need to go around the world justifying myself for the things that I
do, for the things that I believe.
I believe that God always justifies his people.
And through time, it has been accomplished.
And I really appreciate Brother Hunter and those who cooperate with him in that
effort, that many men of God, as prophets of God today, have to stand up against the
evil forces of Roman Catholicism to declare themselves what they believe to be
true according to the scriptures and the Bible, the word of God.
I commend you to read these publications.
There is one more that you should not be left without, and that is a smoke screen,
a truly revelation of what is going on within the charismatic movement and the
ecumenical movement in certain forms.
But now you need a very powerful authority, and this is where all authority
resides, and the conversion of other priests.
And this is the testimony of the first Roman Catholic priest, a Roman Catholic
priest, a North American, precisely a Californian, an Irishman born in
California, but he is or was the first Roman Catholic priest to come to our
defense.
And my defense, he was the first Roman Catholic priest to come out and risk his
own life to confirm what I was saying in this publication.
This is Brother Clark Butterfield, a converted Roman Catholic priest.
You must obtain this testimony.
When I said that he risked even his life, you will prove by reading what happened to
him after he wrote his testimony.
He was murdered by the Jesuits in Detroit, Michigan, three years or two years after
he was converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The evidence in this edition are partially given here, but we will be given more as
the days go by in new editions.
As a matter of fact, this second edition that we published ourselves was already by
a court order in Detroit, Michigan, was already a stop.
As a matter of fact, we are pending of the release of the court order once that I
publish the two pieces of evidence already that have many more that are coming to
prove that Clark Butterfield was murdered by his own doctor, a Polish Roman Catholic
doctor, member of the Knights of Columbus in Detroit, Michigan.
Then we are having already by God's grace all the documentation that was needed.
Once that we published the documentation, a court order was given in Detroit,
Michigan, for a stop in the publication in United States.
Now it's been one year that we've been forced by law, by a court order,
not to go into any new edition of this publication.
The release we are expecting after we fought back that court order to our
attorneys, and then the release is coming.
Now you understand that we live in very serious days.
You must rush for this possible information.
And then you have the priest, the woman, and the confessional, three for this other
testimony.
This is a classical one, and here you have a perfect balance, and this is a
contemporary one.
You will see no difference about the struggle of every Roman Catholic priest
for their salvation through Jesus Christ.
There is a struggle that most of you are not aware.
You must become aware.
Pass it on to others, and give it to every Roman Catholic.
As we read in the book of Hebrews, we understand that concerning the Jewish
priesthood, Christ himself was not very pleased by the time that he came to visit
the Jewish people.
At the time that our Lord came, he was born, then the Jewish priesthood
already was about to go.
And not just in the sense of the fulfillment of prophecies, but in the
sense that that priesthood given by God himself was already so degenerated,
so corrupted, that already was about to go.
There was too much corruption already within the own Jewish priesthood,
and that priesthood was delegated, decreed, and given by God.
And of course, it was on a temporary basis.
Now, the Roman Catholic priesthood, contrary to even God's written revelation
about the Jewish priesthood, is written in canon law that is forever.
Can you imagine?
Now, the Jewish priesthood never was given by God on a permanent basis, much less
forever.
But nevertheless, the Roman Catholic priesthood comes centuries later,
at least 200 years later after Jesus Christ was born, because that is before
the Roman Catholic institution was established under the Emperor Constantine
the Great after his death in 337.
If you want to know when the Roman Catholic system was born, it was born
after death.
And you can see that always everything in the Roman Catholic system relates to
death.
It never relates to anything alive.
It always relates to death.
Relics of saints are serving the purpose under the altar of the sacrifice of the
mass.
Otherwise, no altar can be built if there is not a relic of a dead person.
Then everything in Roman Catholic liturgy and teaching is always related to death,
never to life, but to death.
And contrary to the teachings of God, that in his own version of the priesthood,
he already gave on a temporary basis, no shadows of death, but shadows of life.
Because through the Jewish priesthood, what already the Lord has taken and
revealed to not only the Israelites, but even preparing the Gentiles,
the nations around Israel, for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
For the fulfillment of that priesthood in Christ, not outside of Jesus Christ.
As I went forward, looking at myself for that identity, I have to be reminded about
a few things.
First, let me begin how then I became a priest.
I was taken into a minor seminar at the age of seven years.
Some people said that was too young.
As a matter of fact, today, after no minor seminars exist, people even debate and
discuss.
Most Roman Catholics did not even know that minor seminars were the beginning of
the Roman Catholic priesthood.
And all from the beginning, minor seminars were established for more than 1,500 years
ago.
And they were the source of the Roman Catholic priesthood, taking the children
of the parish as young as possible.
And they, in turn, they will give them grammar, they will give them geography,
but with the purpose and the idea that they will not come out to be carpenters or
to be lawyers or attorneys, but to be priests.
That was how the priesthood was so big all over the world in a few centuries.
Immediately, the priests of Rome were legions and legions of priests because
they took the children with the intention of preparing them for society.
And the idea was, through the confession, through the teacher, they were mostly
priests and nuns to get them with the idea that God was calling them to be priests
and to be nuns.
The girls will end up being nuns and incumbents, and the boys will end up in a
minor seminar already when they were five years, seven years, as in my own personal
case, I ended up in a minor seminar taken by my father and my mother when I was
seven years old.
What was the idea behind anyone, anyone, any priest?
What is the idea?
How even men become priests, not just myself, but generally speaking,
how priests, how that began, how that happened?
Briefly, I will tell you there are at least four reasons why men become Roman
Catholic priests.
Four.
One, their parents, or from the beginning, their parents wish and desire for them to
be priests or nuns.
And second, the clergy.
The clergy, through confession, through relationships, through making them
altar boys and other office around the altar, they make possible and have that
intention behind.
From the beginning of the sacrifice of the mass, the idea was to have children around
the priest as altar boys with the purpose, with the idea, that from these altar boys,
most of the priesthood will come later.
And exactly, it has been working until this very day.
Many altar boys ended up then immediately in seminars.
In these circumstances, then you have two reasons why men become priests.
First, they become political entrapment.
There are many cases when even already not only young children and young men and
young women become priests and nuns, but adults.
Adults engage in political life.
Adults engage in a love affair.
Adults engage in an economical disaster.
Adults engage in a lot of crisis in life.
Tremendous crisis.
And suddenly, they are advised by their confessor to get into the priesthood as
the final solution to their crisis.
How does that happen?
Well, it's happening even in Australia.
The married men have left their wife, and left their home, and left their
children, even being 40 years and 50 years old, and they enter in late vocation.
You mean married men?
Yes, married men.
They obtain dispensation from the Pope, from their marriage, and their marriage is
dissolved.
And they become priests, and mothers become nuns in late vocation.
Now, most of you, if you were Roman Catholics, maybe you even knew not that
this could be done, but it's been done under canon law, even until this very day.
Then you have the last, among the most principal reasons, you have one.
And someone come around and said that they saw the Virgin Mary, and they have a
vision of Mary, or a vision of St. Joseph, or a vision of St. Patrick, and they were
called to be priests.
And under these hallucinations, there is no other explanation to these
visions, but just hallucinations and satanic powers behind, then these young
men or these adults become, mystically speaking, involved in a call that never
exists from God.
How I became aware of this is by trying myself to find my identity as a priest,
to be a priest, with the Scripture, with the Bible.
As I was, two years later, in the seminar, and I was seeking to see my mother,
that was already dying.
As I went to his bed, I swear, right before her bed, I swear to God to
become a priest.
I was already two years in the minor seminar, and when I was brought into the
house where my mother was dying, they told me that she was very ill.
If I was granted permission from the rector to come and see her, then I knew
what was happening.
My mother was not just very ill, she was dying.
At the moment that I approached her, she already lost her vital signs.
She cried, and her crying, and her agony, without even vision, because she already
lost her eyesight, and immediately she touched my hands, and she said,
Alberto, Alberto, my son, and she cried aloud, death, with such a desperation,
my priest.
And that shocked me already.
I can't even have the same feeling that I had at that very moment.
She said, my priest, help me, pray for my soul, my priest.
And I looked to the priest, that was next to her, and I said, something is wrong
here.
What happened?
Why my mother is begging me, is asking me to pray for her soul?
What this priest is doing?
And she questioned about why she was going through so much suffering, and she
questioned why she was to die when she was under so much fear, and she was requesting
to be helped, to get her out of the flames of the purgatory.
And she cried, and she screamed, literally, and screamed, is how she died.
Then I kneeled down by her deathbed, and without not knowing the God that I
know today, without not knowing him, I said, God, I want to become a priest.
As I stand up, the priest looks to me again, seems like he recognized a
tremendous interrogation mark on my face.
I will not speak, I was mute, but he spoke to me across the bed.
Yes, then he said, he said, my son, Albert, I baptize you.
I baptize all you in this family.
I've been your priest, the priest of this family.
You don't doubt.
You don't doubt your Catholic faith.
You have no doubt of me as a priest.
I did all what I could as a Roman Catholic priest.
I did everything that a priest can do.
I can never forget that.
I did all what a priest can do.
My mother died without God, without hope, not even a salvation, because even the
fears of her soul in the purgatory will completely eradicate even the shadow of
hope of salvation.
The priest answered to me and said, I did all what I could as a priest,
and I did all what a priest can do for any soul, especially, he said, for your
mother, being your mother, the mother of a priest to be, the mother of a nun to be,
I brought indulgences from the Holy Father.
And you see, we are all praying for our souls here.
There were hundreds of people praying the rosary there.
You are familiar with that, I think.
Why?
If you are a Christian, anyone has to pray for the rest of your soul.
The questions came one after one, and I was only nine years old.
Two years of drunkenness under the spell of the Roman Catholic institution,
the prophet in the book of Revelation, chapter 17, gave me the terminology that I
could never find in my own Spanish language.
And I was drunken.
Two years of drunkenness were enough for me to decide all the questions around,
to pursue the priesthood.
I could have stopped right there.
I could have stopped right there and said, I could not understand what is going on
here.
How?
How I'm going to be a priest when here, there is a priest that could not even help
my mother to die well.
But then, that drunkenness gave me the answer that usually priests are given
today to thousands, millions of souls that need salvation through Christ.
The answer, but not the solution.
The answer was, well, maybe he was the wrong one.
He was the bad priest.
Maybe this is not the case.
I'm going to pray to God.
I'm going to ask God to make me the best priest that I can bring peace where there
is war, that I can bring life where there is death.
Maybe this is the priest that I'm going to be.
I'm going to be better than him.
He was not able to help my mother.
That was my conclusion after the question.
You can see there were powers behind this too.
How any reason can be convinced and by whom can be convinced faith and reality
such as I faced when I was nine years old.
Who can be behind to tell my own consciousness, contrary to what I saw,
there is a solution.
I remember as I was reading the scripture years later, how the Holy Spirit led me in
the reading of the book of Matthew, the Gospel of Matthew, chapter three of
Matthew, when John the Baptist came and he found himself surrounded by thousands of
Jewish people coming to him to be baptized of him in the river Jordan.
And the key question then in a very special manner was my own question.
It was the question that the Holy Spirit brought to me through the process of my
conversion.
He said whom?
He asked them now what things, what things put you to flee from the wrath
of God?
What things now?
Whom?
And he used a pronoun.
Who was the one that put you in such a position?
You see, that is what the career of the priest is all about.
A priest is running, is fleeing as full of fear as I was already, especially in that
moment.
And I want to flee.
I want to flee, but not against God.
I want to flee under the cover of God.
And I want to be a priest because now full of fear, the fear that I saw in my own
mother was already upon my own soul.
Fear of death.
Fear of wanting to be saved someday and not to die as my mother died.
Fear that other people may die, but especially I was thinking of my own,
of myself.
That fear accompanied me throughout the years of the study and the seminar and
went with me until the day of my salvation in Jesus Christ.
As I went to the Old Testament, I was given a New Testament in the major
seminar already by the time that I reached the ordination as a deacon.
And during that time, the first thing that I did is to go to that New Testament that
in a providential manner I was given inside the seminar, not by the priest,
not by my teacher.
Someone walking to the seminar, not even an evangelical, not even a
Christian, not a Protestant, not an atheist, but a Roman Catholic young man,
younger than I was.
He walked into that major seminar.
One day that I had visitation and he brought to me a New Testament.
A miracle after miracle was taking place.
You do not understand very well what really transpired in that circumstances
because you were not a Spaniard and you were not in Spain when I was.
But in those days, the fact that anyone in Spain could have a New Testament in your
hands was enough to be incarcerated and was enough to be killed if it were
possible.
And there I was on the heart of a Roman Catholic seminar preparing to become a
priest.
And there I was to be ordained presbyter, not maybe two to three years later.
And then immediately I was given a New Testament right there.
There was not a pastor, he was not a preacher, was not even a Christian witness
of Christ that brought me the message of Christ.
But at some point Jesus spoke about them too.
Walking into Jerusalem, the Pharisees and the Sadducees told him to tell his
disciples to shut up.
We want you, but we don't want to hear what they have learned from you.
Tell them to shut up.
Tell them to be quiet about the things they have learned about you.
We want you, the person, not the teaching.
If you understand what I'm saying, that is how I was enlightened by the Holy
Spirit.
That Jesus Christ himself, from the time of his birth to even his very death,
was surrendered by people that wished to have him to the point that many were ready
to be confronted by their own teacher, by their own masters in the temple and the
synagogue.
They were ready to be confronted by their relatives.
They were ready to even publicly confess that he was a good teacher, that he was
the best teacher already from the Sermon of the Mount.
But suddenly, by the time they came to be confronted by his teachings, that they
don't want him, something was missing there.
And what was missing is that you cannot separate Christ from his teachings.
When you do that, you already commit murder against yourself.
But religion has done that.
Religion has been precisely prepared to do that, exactly that, to separate Christ
from his doctrines and his teachings.
They have given Christ to Roman Catholic people, but not the teachings of Christ.
Replacing his teachings and his doctrines, we were given in the seminar traditions.
We were taught traditions, canon laws, consul's decrees, but never the Bible was
part of the textbooks, not even the New Testament.
When we studied sacred scripture, as was called, then we will have
quotations of the scripture that were the text, the text and the Bible from the Old
and the New Testament used by Roman Catholic liturgy, Roman Catholic teaching,
Roman Catholic decrees, and the quotations of the so-called early fathers.
Almost over 30,000 Bible quotations are registered at all the readings of the
so-called early fathers.
The early fathers, that even some are taking many of them as a Christian,
and there were not other things than a bunch of anti-Christ already from the
beginning, including Ignatius of Antioch.
The earliest ones, the earliest ones, they already were paving the way.
I said, paving the way.
They were the instruments to pave the way 200 years later for the birth of Roman
Catholicism.
Very, very tricky, because when you read their readings, you become almost alarmed.
You become surprised.
You say, these people have to be Christians.
Look at the way they speak about Christ.
All the time about the person of Christ.
They deal so much with the person of Christ that they come in tremendous
controversies about whether he was divine, when he was divine, what about his deity,
and they will go as surgeons part by part from the hair to the torso of the person
of Christ.
They will negligent his teachings and doctrines about himself.
Your theologians are doing this today in contemporary history.
Your teachers, and even in some the schools, they are fooling around with the
person of Christ, not even his teachings, much less believing it.
And you are being told of the person of Christ from the birth to the cross,
all throughout, but not his teachings and doctrines about his birth, about his life,
about his ministry, about his sacrifice, about his death, about his resurrection,
much less.
And about his coming, priests will tell you with the creed of the apostles that he
is coming to judge the living and the dead.
That is about all.
We were well trained, yes.
You can see that I can recite and repeat everything, and priests can do it.
They can recite and repeat everything.
Hardly enough, as I went through the New Testament without the complete Bible,
I begin to search for my identity as the priest to be.
I once, before I was ordained to be a priest, I want to know where I was going.
And I want to know from the point of view of the magisterium that I already was
taught about.
I want to know not only from the tradition that already I was trained and prepared to
practice and to teach it, and to be subject to it.
No, I want to know from the gospel.
I want to know from Christ himself.
I want to know whether my priesthood was in any time, in any place, in any instant,
even taught by Christ, or followed by Christ, or revealed by Christ.
I want to find that identity.
It was not there.
On the contrary, after I had the opportunity to search the Old Testament,
I went back from the New Testament to the Old Testament, and a Roman Catholic Bible
that I was given permission to study then later, under special permission to read
certain passages, and to read.
And every time that I read a passage, I have to give a report on what chapters
and what books of the Bible I read.
And through this, I went to the book of Leviticus, searching for that identity
even within the Jewish priesthood.
Because already I was taught that our priesthood comes as a result of the
fulfillment of the Jewish priesthood, and this is the real priesthood.
You will understand this better when I explain to you how my experience went
through the ordination and future evening.
But here we are, right at the crossroads of my ordination, when finally I found no
identity in everything that I studied about the Jewish priesthood in the Old
Testament.
As a matter of fact, as I was already being prepared and being taught that in my
ordination I will be receiving two powers.
The power to do confession, what that means is the power to forgive things,
and the power to transubstantiate.
These were the two powers to be transmitted from the bishop at the time of
the ordination.
As I was already being told and taught about these two powers, then immediately I
searched for this power within the Jewish priesthood.
I said, this power must be given and granted by God already at least to the
high priest.
And I went to the book of Leviticus and found out for my own surprise that not
even the high priest was given such a power.
I said, but what is going on?
We are told that we are coming from this priesthood as a result of the fulfillment
later of the priesthood.
But there is a real given priesthood to the Israelites by God himself that was
sanctified for the confession of sins and for the forgiveness of sins.
But that means only God preserves the right, the power, and the authority to
forgive every sinner.
And as I found there, I came back to the New Testament and I said, perhaps now in
the New Testament, and maybe I do not see it before, I want to see it now.
I do not find it in the Old Testament.
But I found something in the New Testament as I went through the gospel and I arrived
to the book of Hebrews as you read now in chapter 8, verse 4.
Let me read to you from verse 1 to verse 4.
And this is what I'm given to you, what I was given in the time of my own
conversion.
Now, of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum.
And if you care, the sum of the things that we have spoken include chapter 5 of
the same book.
And chapter 5, chapter 6, and 7 will emphasize one particular thing about the
priesthood coming from Christ.
And that was what I was looking for.
I said, that is, that is, the priesthood is coming from Christ.
But what a surprise I was about to have.
Listen to this.
There is a moment in the ordination of a priest, every priest, even in Australia,
in every city, wherever a bishop ordains a priest, one fact that is going to take
place is that he will pronounce the priest as priest forever.
And he will quote, he will quote from chapter 5, verse 5 on in the book of
Hebrews, he will quote the fulfillment of the Melchizedek prophecy about Jesus
Christ becoming that priest forever.
And priests are told by their bishop as they are being ordained at the time of the
anointing and imposition of hands by the bishop, he declares the priest ordained
forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
Now that is a lot.
We will see how much relates this is to the manifestation of the Antichrist.
We will see this, that even in prophecy, Jesus Christ prophesied, chapter 24 of the
Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 24, about the Roman Catholic
priesthood.
You will understand better of this in the future messages.
But now let's come back to chapter 8 from chapter 5, verse 1.
Now of the thing which we have spoken, this is the psalm.
We have such a high priest who is set on the right hand of the throne of the
majesty and the heavenly.
And to me, I was questioning about that high priest.
And I said, the Holy Spirit must be referred then to the Pope.
And that is the case.
If we have a high priest, we are priest, then our high priest must be the Pope.
Of course, Summa Pontificis is one of the titles of the Pope.
But as I read more and more, I see that the Holy Spirit is not making reference
not even to Peter.
As the first Pope.
But he is making reference to a living Christ that already is in heaven of the
right hand of God.
As the only high priest, that not only is a high priest in heaven, but is still a
high priest and is still a priest because he fulfilled the prophecy of Melchizedek,
being a priest forever.
Not to give room, not to give room, not to over-priesthood, whether it was
Jude or Gentile.
He absorbed, only he absorbed the fulfillment of Melchizedek prophecy.
He becomes that priest.
And minister of the sanctuaries and of the two tabernacles all about Christ.
Not Peter, nor Jewish priesthood, nor Aaron, no.
Which of the Lord's picture and not men.
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifice, the human priesthood.
Wherefore it is of necessity that these men have someone also to offer.
I as a priest later will have to go to another priest for my confession.
And another priest will come to me for me to take his confession.
And we will then offer sacrifice for our dreams.
He will offer sacrifice for my sins.
You can see the similarity between the Jewish priesthood, if you care to look in
Leviticus chapter four, five, you will understand that the priest will also to
make sacrifice for their own sins.
We will have what is called mass of concelebration, or what is community mass,
where laymen cannot get into.
Only for that particular religious community.
Where a priest will go and then they will take and turn their confession.
I will choose my own confessor and some of the priests will choose me as their
confessor.
Not many priests choose me as their confessor.
Regardless,
this is why it is so difficult for them to say today that nobody knew me.
That nobody knew him.
Nobody knew that he was a priest.
I understand too why.
Yes.
Now listen to this.
For if he were on earth, who again?
Peter?
Aaron?
John the priest?
Jewish priest?
For if he were on earth, conditional.
If.
The Holy Spirit is saying today, here, even in this very moment,
in this very local church, right now.
As a matter of fact, right now.
If his Christ were here, today, this evening.
If he were on earth, he should not be a priest.
Of what priesthood he was referring that he would not be a priest?
Even the Jewish priesthood.
When he was already born, he was born and the angel came to Mary as well as the
other people in the temple.
And every testimony of every angel that brought revelation about the birth of
Jesus Christ, no one of them will ever quote, will ever say anything that he was
born to be a priest.
And we were taught that the reason why we are to be priests is because Christ was
born to be a priest.
He was a priest.
The Holy Spirit said he will not be a priest.
Not even a Jewish priest.
You can imagine, much less a Roman Catholic priest.
If that priesthood that was already given by God, decreed by God, Christ himself was
not born to be one of them.
Can you imagine?
How I will dare to say, not only later, that I was not only a priest, but I was
Christ.
That is how the interpretation takes place.
By the time that a bishop said, you are a priest forever, according to the
order of Melchizedek, most Catholics do not realize the dimension of this
blasphemy.
It is a blasphemy.
It is not only a heresy.
It is a blasphemy.
When you are being amended, according to the order of Melchizedek, you are
committing a blasphemy against the only person that was to be ordained according
to the order of Melchizedek.
That was Jesus Christ.
To my own shocking surprise, I could not find identity.
On the contrary, I find so much discrepancy and so much antagonism to what
I was to be, the Roman Catholic priest.
The more that I look forward to meet my Christ, my Savior, as has welcomed me to
be his priest and to be him as a priest, to be him as priest, because then the
bishop will come and tell you, you are another Christ, who is also
Christ.
Now you may tell me that your own priest and the Pope won't believe that,
and that he said that he don't accept that.
Well, he's lying twice.
Not only once.
Because the priests that do not admit the reality according to canon law,
that he is Christ on earth, not as the Pope is, Vicarus Filii does, but another.
Now, see the difference here.
Vicarius Filii says, the root Latin, the verb is 2S.
If God is being the sign of being Christ, being Christ, that is only for the Pope.
2S Vicarius Filii says, you are the one that takes the place of the Son of God.
While the priest receives the title 2S Alto Christo, you are another,
you are not Christ, you are another Christ.
We will understand more of this in chapter 18, according to Proverbs.
But now, let me bring to you what I was brought to, the most critical moment of my
life, trying to decide whether to be a Roman Catholic priest or not.
Who serve, for if he were on earth, verse 4, chapter 8 of the book of Ezekiel,
he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts
according to the law.
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly saints, as Moses was admonished
of God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said he that thou make
all things according to the pattern should to thee and the mount.
Now that is more impressive.
God's jealousy is impressive.
He said, you are to make everything, including the priesthood.
As a matter of fact, Moses told Aaron and his children, if you read Leviticus
chapter 3, 4 and 5, when he was being prepared to occupy that office,
he already admonished Aaron and his children that he did, he said to himself,
I do what I'm doing according to what God Jehovah has commanded me to do.
There were no tradition involved.
There were not personal ideas of Moses about.
He must refer to God's decree as the only alternative for that to be a reality where
people can trust, where people can come with faith and being safe and approaching
God.
He said, I'm doing this according to what God told me to do.
Everything from the offerings to the sacrifice to the bed man, to the oil,
to the anointing, everything according to God commanded me to do.
But I was searching from the preparation to me to be a priest to all what the
ordination involved.
I was seeking, searching for that identity and every aspect of the liturgy,
every aspect of the ordination, every aspect of the teaching, every aspect
of the canon law that involved the Roman Catholic priesthood.
I was searching for that identity with Christ, with his teaching, with his
doctrines about the Roman Catholic priesthood.
To my surprise, I found out that Christ himself will never, will never,
if he were to be here today, will never be a Jewish priest.
The question here now is, will Christ, will Christ be a Roman Catholic priest if
he were here today?
That was enough to my confidence.
It was enough to my soul.
I wonder, but this is enough to your own confidence.
I have letters here.
There is a tremendous amount just for a little portion of mail that I was given
before I depart from California that call my personal attention.
As you can see, I have several of them here.
From different states and including from especially from the nation of the kingdom
of Saudi Arabia.
As these people have read Alberto, they have questioned now about every other
Roman Catholic priest, and they questioned saying, will a Roman Catholic priest could
be saved?
Could ever a Roman Catholic priest die as a Roman Catholic priest doing so much good
could ever be saved?
These are their questions, including some that have prisoned none as relatives here.
And the truth is, there is a very painful answer.
There is not even possibility that no one, no one may be saved.
What happened with the priest will happen with you.
Last night we have some young people coming to us after the service.
They were given the opportunity to surrender their lives to Christ as their
personal savior, knowing wrong and knowing truth.
But they are still waiting to be saved when they themselves don't know.
Catholic tradition has given them that expectation that someday they may be
saved.
Will you dare to do this this evening?
Will you dare to wait for your salvation to come sooner or later?
Or will you approach Jesus Christ this evening as the only high priest,
as the only priest, as the only mediator between God and yourself this evening?
Will you approach him through his doctrine, through his teaching,
through his promises?
Jesus said in chapter 3 of the Gospel of John, verse 46, if ye believe in the Son
of God, ye shall have everlasting life.
Catholicism could not guarantee you this.
Not even all the sacraments.
I said not even all the sacraments.
Not all the prayers that a priest can pray, and all the rosaries, and all the
masses that a priest can do for your soul.
Not all of them could even touch the hope of your salvation.
But there is a promise.
If ye believe in the Son of God, ye shall have everlasting life.
And you're going to answer me as this young people answer saying, but we do
believe in Christ.
Why not?
We can be Christians and be Catholic.
Why not being a Christian, receiving Christ, confessing Christ, and go to
certain things and stay there?
Why not?
Come with me again.
Verse 4, for if he were on earth, he shall not be a priest.
Would you challenge Christ?
Would you defy Christ?
If he himself already, he will not be a priest, not a Jewish priest, much less a
Roman Catholic priest, what are your expectations and hopes within the Roman
Catholic priesthood?
Where they are?
I would like to see that you have any.
Where they are?
Based on what?
When the promise of Christ himself is being denied by the fact of the priesthood
alone.
By the fact.
What that means is that even the priest himself is that objection to Christ's
promise.
Priests are the greatest objections to your own salvation.
Not the help, not the meditation, not the one that's going to help for you
to be saved, but on the contrary are the ones that are depriving you and every
millions and millions of Roman Catholics, depriving them from his name.
Jesus said, if you believe in the son of God, you shall have everlasting life.
Tell me when a priest can give that promise to any, any Roman Catholic at any
given time.
You know what will happen?
The priest himself will be no longer a Roman Catholic priest.
It's contrary to Catholic system and contrary to the decrees of the Council of
St. 1546, that a person can be saved by grace through faith alone.
And Christ wants to do that, exactly that.
He wants to save you by grace, through faith, and he and his word.
Whatever you go and trying to explain or find some logical remedy to the dilemma,
to your problem, within the priesthood, you will never find it.
Never, never.
The reason why I became a priest, it's not just because my mother brought me
into the priesthood, my father.
It's not because when I was nine years old, I swear to God that I'll be a priest.
It's because the perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ makes that occasion
possible for me to do it.
You were expecting, as many said, well, you were the one.
But you see, I did what I did because I was a Catholic first.
No one, not being a Roman Catholic, ever be a Roman Catholic priest.
Impossible.
You must be a Roman Catholic to be a Roman Catholic priest.
No one become a Roman Catholic either, as we said last night in the first part of
my testimony.
No one, no human, not Indian, no aboriginal of this land, no one ever
became a Roman Catholic because the gospel of Jesus Christ, because the preaching of
the gospel, but because the perversion, the greatest perversion of the gospel of
Jesus Christ.
There are all kinds of occult and religions in the world.
Thousand upon thousand of them, from north to south, east to west,
the world is full of occult and all satanic religions, occultism, and you name
it, witchcraft, you name it.
But there is one religion that has won the record above them all.
This is Roman Catholicism.
The devil has made of that religion, of this system, the masterpiece.
No other religion has brought more death to the world than the Roman Catholic
system.
No other.
You can prove it.
You cannot expect from me to prove it.
You can prove it yourself anytime that you wish.
And 1,600 years of history of Roman Catholicism, billions upon billions and
trillions and quadrillions of souls have departed this planet without hope of
salvation, much less salvation.
Religions have gone and come, pagan religions of all kinds.
No other religion has gone as far as Roman Catholicism to use even political power,
not only persuasion, not only perversion of the gospel, but political power to
enforce death in the pathway of every nation, of every family, of every human
being.
When Catholicism came to this land, they were not alone.
They were here with the protection of political power.
And never one single Roman Catholic missionary has crossed no land,
no sea, alone, without the backing of political power to go and speak about the
Roman Catholic teaching.
They all were always protected, backed by physical forces, never by
spiritual power.
The only spiritual power that backed the Roman Catholic priesthood and their
pursuit of losing the soul of every man
is the power of faith.
Let me show you in conclusion why finally I found out through the word of God why I
became a Roman Catholic priest.
As we read in chapter 17 of the book of Revelation and dealing with the persuasion
of Roman Catholic teaching, you have no excuses tonight.
No one will ever have excuses when God's word is given, shown by the teachings of
the gospel.
There is no biblical base for the Roman Catholic priesthood.
There is no evidence.
There is no proof.
There is no connection.
There is no sign that anything that a priest is and a priest represents can be
related to the teachings of Christ.
Nothing.
Absolutely.
On the contrary, everything that a Roman Catholic priest is, that he represents,
that he teaches, is contrary to the teachings of Christ.
From the Old Testament to the New Testament, coming to the book of
Revelation, the signs always are contrary, contrary and against them.
Chapter 17 is set clearly, verse 5, And upon her forehead was a name written,
Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of Carlos and abominations of the earth.
One fact alone is this, that I became a child and I was not a child of God as a
Roman Catholic priest.
I was not a child of God.
You as a Roman Catholic, you are not a child of God.
God is calling you to be one.
This is it.
But as a Roman Catholic, you have no identity.
A priest as a priest has no identity with no adoption by God at all.
But you do have an identity about your childhood with the spiritual power and
they are not from God.
You have an adoption by spiritual power.
You have been adopted.
The priest already celebrates that first sacrament.
He exorcises you in preparation for the takeover of Satan when you have already
the use of your wisdom.
You see, from the first sacrament, baptism follows the second sacrament,
in a line of seven sacraments, and that is the first communion.
You see the point here?
And then it follows the third sacrament.
It's not by coincidence that these sacraments follow one to each other in a
chronological manner.
First, the baptism of an age that you cannot talk, that you cannot hear,
that you cannot respond in the sense that your consciousness is aware of.
But listen to this.
The first communion comes after preparation and charismo, a minor
charismo.
And already there, your soul has been absorbed already.
You no longer are that innocent child that the priest wants to possess and the pope
wants to possess and the devil wants to possess, because regardless of their
anxiety and desire to possess, they could not do it.
We saw that by Christ's promise.
Even being a child born within catholicismo, Christ gave the promise and
the guarantee that if that child is to die in that innocent estate, he will be an
inheritor of his kingdom, regardless where he's born.
And no power could overcome the power of Christ, the promises of Christ,
the teachings of Christ, no power.
But the devil was after that soul, your soul, my soul.
You were not given the gospel and you were given tradition replacing the gospel.
If you were given the gospel, you will not become a catholic, you will become a
christian.
Paul told Timothy, from your childhood you have learned the scriptures that make you
wise.
He doesn't save you, he makes you wise for salvation in Jesus Christ.
You can have 1,000 bibles in your house, you can be catholic or protestant but he
won't do nothing to you.
You need to believe what is in this bible, you need to believe the promises of
Christ, you need to behave accordingly.
Listen to this, mystery Babylon the great, the mother of harlot, and in prophets
already the roman catholic institution is identified as no other religion has ever
been identified.
So many people ask me and say but where do you see the name of the roman catholic
church there?
I have pastors that tell me that these prophets refer, not priests, pastors,
that tell me that these prophets do not refer to the roman catholic institution,
they refer to masonry.
These are the masons they say,
and these are the new age movements, the hidden secrets of the rainbow.
And others come and said no, no, no, this was the old roman empire.
Oh and even Billy Graham Cummings said the future Babylon, oh another Babylon,
yes it's the future Babylon.
Well it's going to be too late when they build that Babylon, because Babylon has
been here for 1600 years already.
It's going to be too late.
So find the truth now, don't go too far into the future, be realistic now,
because the prophets of Christ they work now, perhaps tomorrow they will not work
for you.
Mother of harlots and abominations of the earth, you said there is no name?
Who said there is no name?
Um there is only one official title of the roman catholic institution.
I'm not giving you even all the descriptions that are here, because step
by step Rome, the Vatican, is being described prophetically part by part in
this prophecy.
I said part by part.
From geography to economy, everything is here to the lucid dream.
But I'm going to give you the name, it's here too.
I don't have to make an interpretation, I don't believe in private interpretation.
I refuse to believe it and I reject those who fool around with it.
There is no such thing like a private interpretation.
The bible was not made for us to have private interpretations, it was made up
for us to believe it.
As it is.
That is your problem.
You are dealing with a lot of interpretations around you, a lot of
thinking, a lot of opinions, but you are as atheist as any communist.
It's too hard?
You see, scientific atheism is communism, but there is religious atheism and they go
hand to hand.
It's why you have three quarters parts of the world are under communist power.
Do you know who were these people in this nation?
Under communist power today.
Do you know who they were?
They were roman catholics.
You be aware.
I said be aware.
You young men, you young women, you be aware.
24 hours around the clock you are going to change without even wanting.
If a million has done and with millions of people has happened, why not with you,
without Christ?
Why not?
Mother of holocaust and abomination, both.
Religion in one side, holocaust, and ideology in the other side.
Every other ideology in the world is the byproduct of the greatest abominations and
corruptions in this planet.
Listen, the roman catholic institutions bear a title from the beginning under the
emperor Constantine the Great.
The title is still as official today as it will be ever.
The title is the holy mother roman catholic and apostolic church who said
there is no prophesied a name for that institution.
Mother.
Contrary to that, I want to find my identity as a child of God being a priest.
I could not find it.
How I can be a priest of God when I was not even a child?
That was more dramatic.
Even if I were to be granted the reality that the roman catholic priesthood is from
God.
Even if I were to be granted that, what I was doing as a roman catholic
priest when I was not even a child of God?
And no priest can become a child of God.
I mean they can become, I became one, but I could not be longer a priest.
The contradiction explains itself the mystery of the angel when he said mystery.
Babylon the great.
This is not just Babylon, this is Babylon the great.
To tell you that it's the same Babylon that will come later, he says Babylon the
great.
And to make it more specific and clear, the mother, the mother.
Who is that religion that officially is appointed to be a mother?
Only the catholicism, nor the brahman, nor the muslim, nor the buddhist,
nor other ancient or modern religions will ever choose a title as such.
Now is your turn, decision.
God has spoken to you as he did with me.
He has spoken to me.
I have passed on to you what he spoke to me.
You need to respond to Christ.
He is your only high priest, your only priest, and your only meditator between
you and God.
As we approach the son of invitation, you will do great, a great thing for your
life.
Perhaps the great, I would say perhaps, I'm sure is the greatest thing that you
ever did in your life, is to come to realize that without Christ, there is no
hope of salvation.
And you may say, but I believe in Christ.
And I tell you this evening, after what you have here, there is not even truth.
There is no truth that you believe in the Christ of the gospel.
You have been made to believe in another Christ, but not in the Christ of the
gospel.
If you did believe in the Christ of the gospel, you will believe what he said.
If you believe in the son of God, you shall have everlasting life.
You as a Roman Catholic, this evening, if you are still one, you have never been
given, not even as a charismatic, even as charismatic, professing to be born
again when you are not.
Professing to know Christ when Christ did not know you.
Professing to be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
Professing to be given gifts and operations and ministries.
As the claims go all around, you are still professing another Christ, another Jesus.
You must realize that soon and quickly, and come to believe in Christ.
If ye shall believe in the son of God, you shall have everlasting life.
While you are still even a charismatic, you can even tell your priest,
I am saved, and the priest perhaps will excuse you that today, but not tomorrow.
They'll call you before a tribunal of the inquisition to give an account on that.
It's convenient for them today to allow you to even say that much.
I said it's convenient.
You better understand what I'm saying.
He said, but everything is different.
Everything is changing.
What is changing?
The reality of the three foods is still the same.
I became a priest because of the perversion of the gospel, and every other
Roman Catholic priest is the product of the perversion of the gospel.
What is the change?
Where is the change?
In order for that priest to become identified with Christ through the gospel,
he no longer can be a Roman Catholic priest.
It happened with you.
In order for you to identify yourself with Christ as your personal Savior and
Redeemer, you no longer keep being a Roman Catholic.
You become a Christian, a born-again person, a new person.
All things are passed away, and what you leave now in the flesh, you leave it by
faith in Jesus Christ and through the power of Jesus Christ.
No longer the power of sacraments or the powers of the priesthood that were given
to him to forgive things and to assist and pray.
No longer all foreign powers.
Now you are to lead by the truly only genuine power of Christ himself,
a living Savior, a risen Savior.
Come to him immediately.
Approach him as he has approached you through this testimony.
You don't refuse him, don't reject him for a long time.
Perhaps you've been going through these ecstasies, religious ecstasies,
about knowing Christ, but tonight you are given the opportunity to come face to face
with him by faith, by faith and faith alone.
