WEBVTT 00:00.540 --> 00:01.680 Thank you very much. 00:02.640 --> 00:07.040 I'm so glad to see you back, some of you who were here last night. 00:07.740 --> 00:14.140 And this evening you will follow much better what Christ has done in my life. 00:15.040 --> 00:24.220 Tonight we will share with you why I became a Roman Catholic priest. 00:25.840 --> 00:31.600 Are you expecting since of yesterday why I left the priesthood? 00:32.100 --> 00:34.740 Well, we are to arrive to that tomorrow. 00:35.260 --> 00:39.600 But tonight you need to hear why I became a Roman Catholic priest. 00:40.280 --> 00:44.920 And that will give you a better understanding why I left the Roman 00:44.920 --> 00:46.920 Catholic priesthood. 00:47.040 --> 00:51.580 For priests that have left the Roman Catholic priesthood, there are many who 00:51.580 --> 00:52.980 are 1,600 years. 00:53.460 --> 00:57.900 We will say that there is a tremendous amount. 00:58.120 --> 01:03.000 I will say this, there are more priests, Roman Catholic priests, that have left the 01:03.000 --> 01:07.160 Roman Catholic priesthood and all the history of the Roman Catholic institution, 01:07.860 --> 01:10.140 that's what they stay in. 01:10.400 --> 01:12.720 The majority always have left. 01:14.160 --> 01:23.780 During the Vatican Council decision from 1952 to 1965 alone, the statistics were 01:23.780 --> 01:25.420 very clear and dramatic. 01:27.600 --> 01:38.220 More than 100,000 priests and religious persons always somehow they depart from 01:38.220 --> 01:42.980 their office within the priesthood and within the clergy. 01:43.780 --> 01:49.800 Some monks, some nuns, convents and monasteries, entire convents and 01:49.800 --> 01:54.660 monasteries were closed down, still being closed even until this day. 01:56.640 --> 02:03.720 And seminars, especially all what was called minor seminars, they all around the 02:03.720 --> 02:06.460 world, they all were closed down. 02:07.080 --> 02:09.820 Minor seminars are no longer working. 02:10.920 --> 02:13.760 There is now what is called major seminars. 02:14.660 --> 02:20.120 Now that tells you the dimension of the struggle within the Roman Catholic clergy 02:20.120 --> 02:22.840 without the gospel of Jesus Christ. 02:23.940 --> 02:30.100 I said yesterday and I repeat the same, you have as a Roman Catholic more than one 02:30.100 --> 02:35.160 reason in your entire life, already from your childhood, more than one reason, 02:35.260 --> 02:39.920 without the Bible, without the gospel, without any confrontation by the priest 02:39.920 --> 02:44.920 and other gospels, you have already within Catholicism at least more than one reason 02:44.920 --> 02:49.880 why you should quit Roman Catholicism. 02:50.660 --> 02:52.840 The priest has gone through a dilemma too. 02:53.840 --> 02:59.480 The nuns, the monks, bishops and cardinals, they have arrived sometime in 02:59.480 --> 03:05.100 their life to that point, to that confrontation, to that crucial moment when 03:05.100 --> 03:12.340 they have to decide either to stay in with a consciousness that already feel nothing, 03:12.660 --> 03:19.740 hear nothing, or to get out and be at least a human. 03:23.110 --> 03:30.350 Those who stay in within their own consciousness, they become already beast. 03:32.250 --> 03:36.850 I said they are no longer function as humans, they become beast. 03:38.770 --> 03:42.870 The pages of history are full of these manifestations in the Muslims, 03:43.390 --> 03:44.950 even in contemporary history. 03:46.150 --> 03:51.550 You will see that a priest in that condition can do anything and can become 03:51.550 --> 03:54.570 anything from morning until night. 03:54.930 --> 04:03.150 He can kill, he can commit any immoral act, not just in private but even in 04:03.150 --> 04:06.670 public, in a state of confusion and desperation. 04:07.270 --> 04:12.830 The news media carry this news every 24 hours around the clock, around the world, 04:13.250 --> 04:14.330 even in Australia. 04:17.030 --> 04:22.850 Perhaps you need to read all your papers, because I received a clip in California. 04:26.090 --> 04:30.450 Then we are not to be surprised that priests leave the priesthood. 04:30.610 --> 04:38.590 What is a surprise is that priests leave the Roman Catholic priesthood not for the 04:38.590 --> 04:43.410 same reason that they become priests, as you will see the reason, but for a 04:43.410 --> 04:44.090 different reason. 04:45.210 --> 04:49.370 When a priest leaves the Roman Catholic priesthood not because of the gospel of 04:49.370 --> 04:56.370 Jesus Christ, then they have trouble to follow up with them for the rest of their 04:56.370 --> 04:59.190 life until the day they found Christ. 05:01.510 --> 05:06.790 But when a priest leaves the Roman Catholic priesthood because of the gospel 05:06.790 --> 05:12.410 of Jesus Christ, now they find even the reason why they became priests. 05:14.310 --> 05:20.610 No gospel, no Christ, they don't even know why they are priests, except because 05:20.610 --> 05:21.190 tradition. 05:24.450 --> 05:33.650 I will show you through all these levels how my own personal experience with the 05:33.650 --> 05:43.890 gospel make me to become aware that as I was the product, being a Roman Catholic, 05:44.170 --> 05:48.730 being a prophet, and being baptized as a Catholic, I was the product of the 05:48.730 --> 05:51.370 greatest perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. 05:53.010 --> 06:01.330 The second stage in my life becoming a priest became the same, became the product 06:01.330 --> 06:04.790 of the perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. 06:05.370 --> 06:10.790 In other words, there is no priest that ever will have evidence or proof that his 06:10.790 --> 06:15.290 priesthood could be based within the gospel of Jesus Christ. 06:16.290 --> 06:23.170 As there is no Roman Catholic that can base you yesterday that he is a Catholic, 06:23.650 --> 06:28.890 or she is a Catholic, or you are a Roman Catholic because the gospel of Christ. 06:29.370 --> 06:34.970 You have no proof, no evidence within the gospel of your Catholicism. 06:36.470 --> 06:41.770 The search for my personal identity as a Roman Catholic, as you saw yesterday, 06:41.990 --> 06:48.150 as you hear yesterday, then I told you already, there is no way in the gospel of 06:48.150 --> 06:55.030 Christ that you can find evidence to have any identity with Christ, because Catholic 06:55.030 --> 06:59.530 Christians have no identity with the teachings of Jesus Christ. 07:01.230 --> 07:07.590 Once you cannot identify yourself as a Roman Catholic with Christ, with the 07:07.590 --> 07:13.390 person of Christ, with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, it's because you could not 07:13.390 --> 07:17.830 find that identification through his doctrine and through his teachings. 07:20.210 --> 07:25.430 Tradition, contrary to the gospel of Jesus Christ, is not the product of the gospel 07:25.430 --> 07:32.470 of Jesus Christ, it's the product of paganism and Judaism, a combination of 07:32.470 --> 07:32.750 both. 07:33.290 --> 07:38.990 And the third ingredient here, the perversion of the gospel of Jesus 07:38.990 --> 07:39.570 Christ. 07:41.680 --> 07:45.000 The Roman Catholic have the same dilemma. 07:45.840 --> 07:52.760 As I search for my identity, as I was going to a minor seminar, and then a major 07:52.760 --> 07:59.240 seminar, and then in the Jesuit novice stage, as I try to find that identity with 07:59.240 --> 08:05.120 my preparation to become a priest, the more that I try to find it within the 08:05.120 --> 08:10.080 Old Testament, within the New Testament, the farther away that I was. 08:10.840 --> 08:16.960 Not closer, but farther away from the Christ that I was told that was calling me 08:16.960 --> 08:17.840 to become a priest. 08:19.780 --> 08:27.180 For seminarians in a Roman Catholic seminar, the identity they are given is 08:27.180 --> 08:34.320 that they are becoming a priest because Christ and the cross already called people 08:34.320 --> 08:36.820 to become priests, men to become priests. 08:38.580 --> 08:45.320 And the greatest, most dramatic example for a seminarian to be given is that there 08:45.320 --> 08:50.020 is Christ and the cross crying for the priesthood. 08:51.780 --> 08:58.400 But interesting enough is that when I went myself to search for that identity within 08:58.400 --> 09:05.340 the Bible, I could not find no even traces that no God, no Christ, not the Holy 09:05.340 --> 09:09.220 Spirit ever has called a man to be a priest. 09:11.520 --> 09:18.120 Now let me start to begin with as I was led of the Holy Spirit myself to the time 09:18.120 --> 09:22.480 of the process of my conversion to the gospel of Jesus Christ. 09:22.800 --> 09:24.600 Read with me in the book of Hebrews. 09:27.540 --> 09:35.080 Now this is one of the books that are more of hate by priests than any other books in 09:35.080 --> 09:35.460 the Bible. 09:36.960 --> 09:39.280 And I'm sure you will understand why. 09:40.920 --> 09:47.540 It's precisely here where the Holy Spirit speak about the altar, the sacrifices, 09:48.020 --> 09:49.620 and the Jewish priesthood. 09:50.340 --> 09:56.840 They have served as a base for that mixture of these ingredients of paganism, 09:57.060 --> 10:01.760 tradition, and the perversion of the gospel for the Roman Catholic priesthood. 10:02.440 --> 10:07.900 Now I suggest you, as Pastor Hunter has mentioned before, to carry with this 10:07.900 --> 10:15.920 faith, and it is necessary to obtain this video, that you can not only know more and 10:15.920 --> 10:17.020 understand better. 10:17.260 --> 10:26.980 My pronunciation is very, very, very well, especially individually my own 10:26.980 --> 10:27.800 pronunciation. 10:28.700 --> 10:32.420 Then you have to depart from peculiarities. 10:33.100 --> 10:40.360 In order to do that, I advise you to hear again the message, and think or announce 10:40.360 --> 10:45.600 that you can get what you are not able to get while you listen to me. 10:45.920 --> 10:51.100 Then you will get closer and closer, and finally, you'll end up speaking as I 10:51.100 --> 10:51.300 do. 10:52.240 --> 10:53.600 Praise God for that. 10:54.260 --> 11:03.620 Now, perhaps I hear some different stuff here in Australia than I hear in England 11:03.620 --> 11:06.540 or in the United States, and I say, why not? 11:06.780 --> 11:08.140 Maybe there is room for more. 11:09.880 --> 11:15.760 I advise you last night, again and again, to obtain this publication. 11:16.220 --> 11:19.920 Whether you want it or not, whether you like it or not, whether you oppose it or 11:19.920 --> 11:21.500 not, you must have it. 11:21.980 --> 11:23.660 It's in your own benefit to do it. 11:24.080 --> 11:28.260 And some people told me, you know why he's promoting this, you know why he's doing 11:28.260 --> 11:30.580 this, even though he was not a priest. 11:30.880 --> 11:36.140 Oh, what happened there is he's making this fake story just because of business. 11:36.600 --> 11:39.520 Well, I have some bad news for you about business. 11:40.320 --> 11:45.340 Because if I were to do good business, economically speaking, I would never think 11:45.340 --> 11:45.980 to write this. 11:46.040 --> 11:49.240 I would be the most stupid person in the whole world. 11:51.400 --> 11:55.860 In order to do business, you are in the wrong place to do business when you attack 11:55.860 --> 11:56.980 Roman Catholicism. 12:00.160 --> 12:01.700 You are not even lucky. 12:04.260 --> 12:09.600 But I'm glad that I'm blessed, not lucky, blessed because God has chosen 12:09.600 --> 12:12.080 and called me to do exactly this. 12:13.660 --> 12:22.260 Then you must think wisely and not only reason this, but reason to enlighten the 12:22.260 --> 12:26.340 lives of others that need so much light of the gospel of Christ. 12:27.040 --> 12:30.360 Then pick them up this evening when you leave. 12:31.560 --> 12:37.560 And there is something that I cannot, every night I'll be giving you some tips 12:37.560 --> 12:41.960 about different publications that you should obtain. 12:42.380 --> 12:49.620 But these five, a part of the testimony of Christ and my wife Alberto, then you have 12:49.620 --> 12:54.100 double cross, the second part, and then you have the Godfather, 12:54.560 --> 12:58.420 and then you have the fourth, and then you have the fourth horseman. 12:58.680 --> 12:59.820 And one more is coming. 13:00.040 --> 13:06.560 As I left California, I was told by the publishing house, chief publications, 13:07.200 --> 13:11.720 that the sixth part is getting ready to go to press. 13:12.100 --> 13:16.880 The artwork already is finished and it's ready to go to press. 13:16.880 --> 13:21.220 We expect in a couple of months Brother Hunter will have it here. 13:22.500 --> 13:24.280 That is called the process. 13:25.520 --> 13:28.200 Now that has been delayed for almost two years. 13:29.160 --> 13:36.300 We pray that beginning next year you will have the opportunity perhaps every six 13:36.300 --> 13:39.600 months I have all the other parts that will follow. 13:40.300 --> 13:45.560 We are praying that miracle may take place and I see already signs that that will 13:45.560 --> 13:46.200 take place. 13:46.880 --> 13:53.780 Then as you obtain these publications, you cannot use this without this one. 13:56.640 --> 14:02.280 And along with this, you should give this, when you give it to a Roman Catholic. 14:02.660 --> 14:03.300 And you know why? 14:03.680 --> 14:13.480 Because already they have been briefed on this by their priests and some Protestants 14:13.480 --> 14:15.180 by their Protestant leaders. 14:16.740 --> 14:22.700 They've been briefed about Alberto's publication that you need this along the 14:22.700 --> 14:22.980 way. 14:23.640 --> 14:28.240 Then get hold of this, whatever is Alberto, I have recommended all over 14:28.240 --> 14:34.160 throughout the world, whatever I'm taking to preach the gospel, that this is a must 14:34.160 --> 14:34.680 to go along. 14:35.280 --> 14:42.700 I could do this in a major publication, but I always wait that God himself will 14:42.700 --> 14:43.240 justify. 14:43.460 --> 14:48.240 I will never need to go around the world justifying myself for the things that I 14:48.240 --> 14:49.780 do, for the things that I believe. 14:50.100 --> 14:53.480 I believe that God always justifies his people. 14:54.340 --> 14:57.080 And through time, it has been accomplished. 14:57.660 --> 15:05.640 And I really appreciate Brother Hunter and those who cooperate with him in that 15:05.640 --> 15:12.520 effort, that many men of God, as prophets of God today, have to stand up against the 15:12.520 --> 15:18.040 evil forces of Roman Catholicism to declare themselves what they believe to be 15:18.040 --> 15:22.180 true according to the scriptures and the Bible, the word of God. 15:22.580 --> 15:26.500 I commend you to read these publications. 15:27.100 --> 15:31.600 There is one more that you should not be left without, and that is a smoke screen, 15:32.220 --> 15:37.780 a truly revelation of what is going on within the charismatic movement and the 15:37.780 --> 15:40.500 ecumenical movement in certain forms. 15:40.740 --> 15:47.100 But now you need a very powerful authority, and this is where all authority 15:47.100 --> 15:50.800 resides, and the conversion of other priests. 15:51.480 --> 15:57.480 And this is the testimony of the first Roman Catholic priest, a Roman Catholic 15:57.480 --> 16:04.540 priest, a North American, precisely a Californian, an Irishman born in 16:04.540 --> 16:13.680 California, but he is or was the first Roman Catholic priest to come to our 16:13.680 --> 16:14.220 defense. 16:14.800 --> 16:20.440 And my defense, he was the first Roman Catholic priest to come out and risk his 16:20.440 --> 16:25.420 own life to confirm what I was saying in this publication. 16:25.420 --> 16:30.700 This is Brother Clark Butterfield, a converted Roman Catholic priest. 16:31.160 --> 16:33.340 You must obtain this testimony. 16:34.260 --> 16:40.000 When I said that he risked even his life, you will prove by reading what happened to 16:40.000 --> 16:42.280 him after he wrote his testimony. 16:42.980 --> 16:50.060 He was murdered by the Jesuits in Detroit, Michigan, three years or two years after 16:50.060 --> 16:52.600 he was converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ. 16:53.320 --> 16:59.960 The evidence in this edition are partially given here, but we will be given more as 16:59.960 --> 17:01.760 the days go by in new editions. 17:01.980 --> 17:09.220 As a matter of fact, this second edition that we published ourselves was already by 17:09.220 --> 17:13.920 a court order in Detroit, Michigan, was already a stop. 17:14.340 --> 17:20.820 As a matter of fact, we are pending of the release of the court order once that I 17:20.820 --> 17:27.480 publish the two pieces of evidence already that have many more that are coming to 17:27.480 --> 17:34.200 prove that Clark Butterfield was murdered by his own doctor, a Polish Roman Catholic 17:34.200 --> 17:39.000 doctor, member of the Knights of Columbus in Detroit, Michigan. 17:39.800 --> 17:45.260 Then we are having already by God's grace all the documentation that was needed. 17:45.600 --> 17:50.460 Once that we published the documentation, a court order was given in Detroit, 17:50.600 --> 17:55.600 Michigan, for a stop in the publication in United States. 17:57.120 --> 18:01.680 Now it's been one year that we've been forced by law, by a court order, 18:01.940 --> 18:05.680 not to go into any new edition of this publication. 18:06.100 --> 18:12.460 The release we are expecting after we fought back that court order to our 18:12.460 --> 18:14.920 attorneys, and then the release is coming. 18:15.800 --> 18:20.940 Now you understand that we live in very serious days. 18:21.360 --> 18:24.520 You must rush for this possible information. 18:25.080 --> 18:29.900 And then you have the priest, the woman, and the confessional, three for this other 18:29.900 --> 18:30.340 testimony. 18:30.680 --> 18:35.160 This is a classical one, and here you have a perfect balance, and this is a 18:35.160 --> 18:36.280 contemporary one. 18:36.620 --> 18:41.440 You will see no difference about the struggle of every Roman Catholic priest 18:41.440 --> 18:44.340 for their salvation through Jesus Christ. 18:44.800 --> 18:47.980 There is a struggle that most of you are not aware. 18:48.280 --> 18:49.420 You must become aware. 18:49.700 --> 18:53.080 Pass it on to others, and give it to every Roman Catholic. 18:54.140 --> 19:00.340 As we read in the book of Hebrews, we understand that concerning the Jewish 19:00.340 --> 19:06.520 priesthood, Christ himself was not very pleased by the time that he came to visit 19:06.520 --> 19:08.080 the Jewish people. 19:08.420 --> 19:15.100 At the time that our Lord came, he was born, then the Jewish priesthood 19:15.100 --> 19:17.620 already was about to go. 19:18.300 --> 19:23.000 And not just in the sense of the fulfillment of prophecies, but in the 19:23.000 --> 19:29.700 sense that that priesthood given by God himself was already so degenerated, 19:29.880 --> 19:33.600 so corrupted, that already was about to go. 19:34.740 --> 19:39.300 There was too much corruption already within the own Jewish priesthood, 19:39.680 --> 19:44.880 and that priesthood was delegated, decreed, and given by God. 19:45.380 --> 19:47.560 And of course, it was on a temporary basis. 19:49.340 --> 19:54.560 Now, the Roman Catholic priesthood, contrary to even God's written revelation 19:54.560 --> 20:00.380 about the Jewish priesthood, is written in canon law that is forever. 20:01.220 --> 20:01.780 Can you imagine? 20:02.860 --> 20:10.780 Now, the Jewish priesthood never was given by God on a permanent basis, much less 20:10.780 --> 20:11.140 forever. 20:12.140 --> 20:18.320 But nevertheless, the Roman Catholic priesthood comes centuries later, 20:19.200 --> 20:25.300 at least 200 years later after Jesus Christ was born, because that is before 20:25.300 --> 20:29.600 the Roman Catholic institution was established under the Emperor Constantine 20:29.600 --> 20:32.440 the Great after his death in 337. 20:32.820 --> 20:37.360 If you want to know when the Roman Catholic system was born, it was born 20:37.360 --> 20:38.080 after death. 20:38.480 --> 20:43.580 And you can see that always everything in the Roman Catholic system relates to 20:43.580 --> 20:43.980 death. 20:44.280 --> 20:46.500 It never relates to anything alive. 20:46.860 --> 20:48.400 It always relates to death. 20:49.200 --> 20:56.060 Relics of saints are serving the purpose under the altar of the sacrifice of the 20:56.060 --> 20:56.340 mass. 20:56.640 --> 21:01.280 Otherwise, no altar can be built if there is not a relic of a dead person. 21:03.900 --> 21:10.060 Then everything in Roman Catholic liturgy and teaching is always related to death, 21:10.060 --> 21:13.260 never to life, but to death. 21:14.160 --> 21:20.560 And contrary to the teachings of God, that in his own version of the priesthood, 21:21.020 --> 21:28.300 he already gave on a temporary basis, no shadows of death, but shadows of life. 21:28.360 --> 21:32.940 Because through the Jewish priesthood, what already the Lord has taken and 21:32.940 --> 21:37.940 revealed to not only the Israelites, but even preparing the Gentiles, 21:38.100 --> 21:43.280 the nations around Israel, for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. 21:44.260 --> 21:50.840 For the fulfillment of that priesthood in Christ, not outside of Jesus Christ. 21:51.280 --> 21:59.260 As I went forward, looking at myself for that identity, I have to be reminded about 21:59.260 --> 22:00.380 a few things. 22:01.020 --> 22:06.400 First, let me begin how then I became a priest. 22:09.230 --> 22:14.510 I was taken into a minor seminar at the age of seven years. 22:15.930 --> 22:18.370 Some people said that was too young. 22:18.630 --> 22:26.310 As a matter of fact, today, after no minor seminars exist, people even debate and 22:26.310 --> 22:26.650 discuss. 22:26.990 --> 22:33.250 Most Roman Catholics did not even know that minor seminars were the beginning of 22:33.250 --> 22:34.930 the Roman Catholic priesthood. 22:35.450 --> 22:42.790 And all from the beginning, minor seminars were established for more than 1,500 years 22:42.790 --> 22:43.150 ago. 22:44.110 --> 22:49.870 And they were the source of the Roman Catholic priesthood, taking the children 22:49.870 --> 22:53.390 of the parish as young as possible. 22:54.410 --> 23:00.090 And they, in turn, they will give them grammar, they will give them geography, 23:00.470 --> 23:05.650 but with the purpose and the idea that they will not come out to be carpenters or 23:05.650 --> 23:08.810 to be lawyers or attorneys, but to be priests. 23:09.150 --> 23:16.250 That was how the priesthood was so big all over the world in a few centuries. 23:16.610 --> 23:21.330 Immediately, the priests of Rome were legions and legions of priests because 23:21.330 --> 23:26.890 they took the children with the intention of preparing them for society. 23:27.550 --> 23:32.350 And the idea was, through the confession, through the teacher, they were mostly 23:32.350 --> 23:38.470 priests and nuns to get them with the idea that God was calling them to be priests 23:38.470 --> 23:40.070 and to be nuns. 23:40.130 --> 23:45.270 The girls will end up being nuns and incumbents, and the boys will end up in a 23:45.270 --> 23:50.950 minor seminar already when they were five years, seven years, as in my own personal 23:50.950 --> 23:56.510 case, I ended up in a minor seminar taken by my father and my mother when I was 23:56.510 --> 23:57.330 seven years old. 23:57.610 --> 24:02.870 What was the idea behind anyone, anyone, any priest? 24:03.410 --> 24:04.290 What is the idea? 24:04.410 --> 24:09.250 How even men become priests, not just myself, but generally speaking, 24:10.050 --> 24:14.810 how priests, how that began, how that happened? 24:15.530 --> 24:20.950 Briefly, I will tell you there are at least four reasons why men become Roman 24:20.950 --> 24:21.810 Catholic priests. 24:22.170 --> 24:22.390 Four. 24:22.690 --> 24:29.110 One, their parents, or from the beginning, their parents wish and desire for them to 24:29.110 --> 24:30.610 be priests or nuns. 24:30.610 --> 24:32.350 And second, the clergy. 24:32.770 --> 24:38.690 The clergy, through confession, through relationships, through making them 24:38.690 --> 24:49.190 altar boys and other office around the altar, they make possible and have that 24:49.190 --> 24:50.270 intention behind. 24:50.570 --> 24:57.330 From the beginning of the sacrifice of the mass, the idea was to have children around 24:57.330 --> 25:04.210 the priest as altar boys with the purpose, with the idea, that from these altar boys, 25:04.630 --> 25:06.670 most of the priesthood will come later. 25:07.230 --> 25:10.510 And exactly, it has been working until this very day. 25:11.430 --> 25:15.350 Many altar boys ended up then immediately in seminars. 25:16.590 --> 25:22.370 In these circumstances, then you have two reasons why men become priests. 25:22.970 --> 25:27.830 First, they become political entrapment. 25:28.290 --> 25:34.630 There are many cases when even already not only young children and young men and 25:34.630 --> 25:37.550 young women become priests and nuns, but adults. 25:37.990 --> 25:40.490 Adults engage in political life. 25:40.990 --> 25:43.030 Adults engage in a love affair. 25:43.630 --> 25:46.430 Adults engage in an economical disaster. 25:46.970 --> 25:50.990 Adults engage in a lot of crisis in life. 25:51.450 --> 25:52.470 Tremendous crisis. 25:52.930 --> 25:58.430 And suddenly, they are advised by their confessor to get into the priesthood as 25:58.430 --> 26:00.350 the final solution to their crisis. 26:02.830 --> 26:04.030 How does that happen? 26:04.490 --> 26:06.630 Well, it's happening even in Australia. 26:07.170 --> 26:11.810 The married men have left their wife, and left their home, and left their 26:11.810 --> 26:17.850 children, even being 40 years and 50 years old, and they enter in late vocation. 26:19.610 --> 26:21.330 You mean married men? 26:21.510 --> 26:22.530 Yes, married men. 26:23.130 --> 26:29.910 They obtain dispensation from the Pope, from their marriage, and their marriage is 26:29.910 --> 26:30.470 dissolved. 26:31.690 --> 26:38.470 And they become priests, and mothers become nuns in late vocation. 26:39.250 --> 26:44.190 Now, most of you, if you were Roman Catholics, maybe you even knew not that 26:44.190 --> 26:48.930 this could be done, but it's been done under canon law, even until this very day. 26:52.390 --> 26:58.170 Then you have the last, among the most principal reasons, you have one. 26:58.650 --> 27:05.010 And someone come around and said that they saw the Virgin Mary, and they have a 27:05.010 --> 27:11.850 vision of Mary, or a vision of St. Joseph, or a vision of St. Patrick, and they were 27:11.850 --> 27:13.090 called to be priests. 27:14.730 --> 27:20.510 And under these hallucinations, there is no other explanation to these 27:20.510 --> 27:27.630 visions, but just hallucinations and satanic powers behind, then these young 27:27.630 --> 27:34.770 men or these adults become, mystically speaking, involved in a call that never 27:34.770 --> 27:36.250 exists from God. 27:39.480 --> 27:48.260 How I became aware of this is by trying myself to find my identity as a priest, 27:48.420 --> 27:52.860 to be a priest, with the Scripture, with the Bible. 27:53.400 --> 27:59.080 As I was, two years later, in the seminar, and I was seeking to see my mother, 27:59.320 --> 28:00.720 that was already dying. 28:01.400 --> 28:13.700 As I went to his bed, I swear, right before her bed, I swear to God to 28:13.700 --> 28:14.460 become a priest. 28:15.580 --> 28:21.280 I was already two years in the minor seminar, and when I was brought into the 28:21.280 --> 28:25.720 house where my mother was dying, they told me that she was very ill. 28:26.060 --> 28:31.020 If I was granted permission from the rector to come and see her, then I knew 28:31.020 --> 28:32.000 what was happening. 28:32.320 --> 28:35.380 My mother was not just very ill, she was dying. 28:35.700 --> 28:40.480 At the moment that I approached her, she already lost her vital signs. 28:41.240 --> 28:51.080 She cried, and her crying, and her agony, without even vision, because she already 28:51.080 --> 28:57.640 lost her eyesight, and immediately she touched my hands, and she said, 28:58.440 --> 29:06.760 Alberto, Alberto, my son, and she cried aloud, death, with such a desperation, 29:06.960 --> 29:07.920 my priest. 29:09.140 --> 29:11.060 And that shocked me already. 29:11.540 --> 29:15.840 I can't even have the same feeling that I had at that very moment. 29:16.100 --> 29:21.480 She said, my priest, help me, pray for my soul, my priest. 29:22.660 --> 29:28.720 And I looked to the priest, that was next to her, and I said, something is wrong 29:28.720 --> 29:29.000 here. 29:29.880 --> 29:30.620 What happened? 29:30.720 --> 29:34.760 Why my mother is begging me, is asking me to pray for her soul? 29:35.060 --> 29:36.720 What this priest is doing? 29:39.100 --> 29:45.440 And she questioned about why she was going through so much suffering, and she 29:45.440 --> 29:52.540 questioned why she was to die when she was under so much fear, and she was requesting 29:52.540 --> 29:56.900 to be helped, to get her out of the flames of the purgatory. 29:58.580 --> 30:05.140 And she cried, and she screamed, literally, and screamed, is how she died. 30:07.920 --> 30:14.360 Then I kneeled down by her deathbed, and without not knowing the God that I 30:14.360 --> 30:21.900 know today, without not knowing him, I said, God, I want to become a priest. 30:23.920 --> 30:30.300 As I stand up, the priest looks to me again, seems like he recognized a 30:30.300 --> 30:33.400 tremendous interrogation mark on my face. 30:33.740 --> 30:40.120 I will not speak, I was mute, but he spoke to me across the bed. 30:40.900 --> 30:46.840 Yes, then he said, he said, my son, Albert, I baptize you. 30:47.660 --> 30:50.540 I baptize all you in this family. 30:51.780 --> 30:54.800 I've been your priest, the priest of this family. 30:55.400 --> 30:56.420 You don't doubt. 30:57.780 --> 31:01.020 You don't doubt your Catholic faith. 31:01.720 --> 31:04.740 You have no doubt of me as a priest. 31:05.540 --> 31:10.840 I did all what I could as a Roman Catholic priest. 31:11.580 --> 31:16.000 I did everything that a priest can do. 31:16.360 --> 31:18.000 I can never forget that. 31:18.960 --> 31:23.320 I did all what a priest can do. 31:25.220 --> 31:33.140 My mother died without God, without hope, not even a salvation, because even the 31:33.140 --> 31:41.160 fears of her soul in the purgatory will completely eradicate even the shadow of 31:41.160 --> 31:42.200 hope of salvation. 31:43.840 --> 31:50.720 The priest answered to me and said, I did all what I could as a priest, 31:51.620 --> 31:58.020 and I did all what a priest can do for any soul, especially, he said, for your 31:58.020 --> 32:04.880 mother, being your mother, the mother of a priest to be, the mother of a nun to be, 32:05.480 --> 32:08.420 I brought indulgences from the Holy Father. 32:10.300 --> 32:15.000 And you see, we are all praying for our souls here. 32:16.280 --> 32:19.800 There were hundreds of people praying the rosary there. 32:24.150 --> 32:26.390 You are familiar with that, I think. 32:27.610 --> 32:28.010 Why? 32:28.850 --> 32:34.070 If you are a Christian, anyone has to pray for the rest of your soul. 32:39.780 --> 32:43.680 The questions came one after one, and I was only nine years old. 32:44.240 --> 32:53.040 Two years of drunkenness under the spell of the Roman Catholic institution, 32:53.280 --> 32:59.240 the prophet in the book of Revelation, chapter 17, gave me the terminology that I 32:59.240 --> 33:03.380 could never find in my own Spanish language. 33:04.920 --> 33:05.720 And I was drunken. 33:06.320 --> 33:12.280 Two years of drunkenness were enough for me to decide all the questions around, 33:13.000 --> 33:14.980 to pursue the priesthood. 33:15.260 --> 33:16.520 I could have stopped right there. 33:17.420 --> 33:21.780 I could have stopped right there and said, I could not understand what is going on 33:21.780 --> 33:21.980 here. 33:22.420 --> 33:22.800 How? 33:23.080 --> 33:28.520 How I'm going to be a priest when here, there is a priest that could not even help 33:28.520 --> 33:29.880 my mother to die well. 33:31.780 --> 33:39.400 But then, that drunkenness gave me the answer that usually priests are given 33:39.400 --> 33:45.300 today to thousands, millions of souls that need salvation through Christ. 33:45.880 --> 33:47.520 The answer, but not the solution. 33:48.080 --> 33:51.700 The answer was, well, maybe he was the wrong one. 33:51.980 --> 33:53.880 He was the bad priest. 33:54.200 --> 33:55.620 Maybe this is not the case. 33:55.740 --> 33:56.980 I'm going to pray to God. 33:57.060 --> 34:02.920 I'm going to ask God to make me the best priest that I can bring peace where there 34:02.920 --> 34:05.600 is war, that I can bring life where there is death. 34:06.220 --> 34:08.740 Maybe this is the priest that I'm going to be. 34:09.020 --> 34:10.740 I'm going to be better than him. 34:11.380 --> 34:13.300 He was not able to help my mother. 34:13.640 --> 34:16.600 That was my conclusion after the question. 34:17.860 --> 34:21.060 You can see there were powers behind this too. 34:25.130 --> 34:31.090 How any reason can be convinced and by whom can be convinced faith and reality 34:31.090 --> 34:35.130 such as I faced when I was nine years old. 34:35.330 --> 34:41.470 Who can be behind to tell my own consciousness, contrary to what I saw, 34:41.910 --> 34:42.950 there is a solution. 34:45.890 --> 34:52.250 I remember as I was reading the scripture years later, how the Holy Spirit led me in 34:52.250 --> 34:57.790 the reading of the book of Matthew, the Gospel of Matthew, chapter three of 34:57.790 --> 35:04.010 Matthew, when John the Baptist came and he found himself surrounded by thousands of 35:04.010 --> 35:09.950 Jewish people coming to him to be baptized of him in the river Jordan. 35:10.610 --> 35:16.790 And the key question then in a very special manner was my own question. 35:17.090 --> 35:20.830 It was the question that the Holy Spirit brought to me through the process of my 35:20.830 --> 35:21.290 conversion. 35:21.290 --> 35:23.370 He said whom? 35:24.710 --> 35:34.710 He asked them now what things, what things put you to flee from the wrath 35:34.710 --> 35:35.310 of God? 35:35.470 --> 35:36.510 What things now? 35:36.810 --> 35:37.470 Whom? 35:38.490 --> 35:39.810 And he used a pronoun. 35:41.430 --> 35:45.670 Who was the one that put you in such a position? 35:47.010 --> 35:52.030 You see, that is what the career of the priest is all about. 35:52.410 --> 36:00.670 A priest is running, is fleeing as full of fear as I was already, especially in that 36:00.670 --> 36:00.930 moment. 36:02.070 --> 36:03.890 And I want to flee. 36:04.470 --> 36:07.850 I want to flee, but not against God. 36:08.030 --> 36:11.190 I want to flee under the cover of God. 36:11.390 --> 36:17.050 And I want to be a priest because now full of fear, the fear that I saw in my own 36:17.050 --> 36:19.630 mother was already upon my own soul. 36:20.270 --> 36:21.450 Fear of death. 36:22.410 --> 36:30.350 Fear of wanting to be saved someday and not to die as my mother died. 36:30.450 --> 36:34.410 Fear that other people may die, but especially I was thinking of my own, 36:34.650 --> 36:35.410 of myself. 36:36.110 --> 36:40.490 That fear accompanied me throughout the years of the study and the seminar and 36:40.490 --> 36:45.150 went with me until the day of my salvation in Jesus Christ. 36:46.930 --> 36:52.190 As I went to the Old Testament, I was given a New Testament in the major 36:52.190 --> 36:56.410 seminar already by the time that I reached the ordination as a deacon. 36:56.970 --> 37:03.290 And during that time, the first thing that I did is to go to that New Testament that 37:03.290 --> 37:08.790 in a providential manner I was given inside the seminar, not by the priest, 37:09.130 --> 37:10.290 not by my teacher. 37:11.070 --> 37:16.750 Someone walking to the seminar, not even an evangelical, not even a 37:16.750 --> 37:24.130 Christian, not a Protestant, not an atheist, but a Roman Catholic young man, 37:24.690 --> 37:25.810 younger than I was. 37:25.990 --> 37:28.350 He walked into that major seminar. 37:28.590 --> 37:34.590 One day that I had visitation and he brought to me a New Testament. 37:34.870 --> 37:39.210 A miracle after miracle was taking place. 37:39.490 --> 37:43.750 You do not understand very well what really transpired in that circumstances 37:43.750 --> 37:48.390 because you were not a Spaniard and you were not in Spain when I was. 37:48.690 --> 37:56.490 But in those days, the fact that anyone in Spain could have a New Testament in your 37:56.490 --> 38:02.210 hands was enough to be incarcerated and was enough to be killed if it were 38:02.210 --> 38:02.630 possible. 38:04.870 --> 38:11.090 And there I was on the heart of a Roman Catholic seminar preparing to become a 38:11.090 --> 38:11.470 priest. 38:13.030 --> 38:19.210 And there I was to be ordained presbyter, not maybe two to three years later. 38:20.210 --> 38:25.670 And then immediately I was given a New Testament right there. 38:26.530 --> 38:31.810 There was not a pastor, he was not a preacher, was not even a Christian witness 38:31.810 --> 38:34.450 of Christ that brought me the message of Christ. 38:35.430 --> 38:38.630 But at some point Jesus spoke about them too. 38:39.870 --> 38:45.390 Walking into Jerusalem, the Pharisees and the Sadducees told him to tell his 38:45.390 --> 38:47.270 disciples to shut up. 38:48.790 --> 38:53.550 We want you, but we don't want to hear what they have learned from you. 38:56.150 --> 38:57.950 Tell them to shut up. 38:58.710 --> 39:02.670 Tell them to be quiet about the things they have learned about you. 39:02.670 --> 39:06.210 We want you, the person, not the teaching. 39:07.590 --> 39:12.510 If you understand what I'm saying, that is how I was enlightened by the Holy 39:12.510 --> 39:12.970 Spirit. 39:13.310 --> 39:18.190 That Jesus Christ himself, from the time of his birth to even his very death, 39:18.390 --> 39:24.550 was surrendered by people that wished to have him to the point that many were ready 39:24.550 --> 39:30.230 to be confronted by their own teacher, by their own masters in the temple and the 39:30.230 --> 39:30.510 synagogue. 39:30.510 --> 39:33.570 They were ready to be confronted by their relatives. 39:34.170 --> 39:39.070 They were ready to even publicly confess that he was a good teacher, that he was 39:39.070 --> 39:41.990 the best teacher already from the Sermon of the Mount. 39:43.910 --> 39:50.070 But suddenly, by the time they came to be confronted by his teachings, that they 39:50.070 --> 39:54.650 don't want him, something was missing there. 39:56.070 --> 40:01.610 And what was missing is that you cannot separate Christ from his teachings. 40:02.550 --> 40:06.830 When you do that, you already commit murder against yourself. 40:10.460 --> 40:12.440 But religion has done that. 40:13.220 --> 40:20.120 Religion has been precisely prepared to do that, exactly that, to separate Christ 40:20.120 --> 40:22.820 from his doctrines and his teachings. 40:23.380 --> 40:28.800 They have given Christ to Roman Catholic people, but not the teachings of Christ. 40:29.600 --> 40:34.980 Replacing his teachings and his doctrines, we were given in the seminar traditions. 40:35.480 --> 40:41.740 We were taught traditions, canon laws, consul's decrees, but never the Bible was 40:41.740 --> 40:46.300 part of the textbooks, not even the New Testament. 40:48.200 --> 40:53.460 When we studied sacred scripture, as was called, then we will have 40:53.460 --> 41:00.660 quotations of the scripture that were the text, the text and the Bible from the Old 41:00.660 --> 41:06.200 and the New Testament used by Roman Catholic liturgy, Roman Catholic teaching, 41:06.660 --> 41:10.840 Roman Catholic decrees, and the quotations of the so-called early fathers. 41:11.720 --> 41:18.120 Almost over 30,000 Bible quotations are registered at all the readings of the 41:18.120 --> 41:19.300 so-called early fathers. 41:19.800 --> 41:25.240 The early fathers, that even some are taking many of them as a Christian, 41:25.760 --> 41:29.340 and there were not other things than a bunch of anti-Christ already from the 41:29.340 --> 41:32.060 beginning, including Ignatius of Antioch. 41:33.960 --> 41:38.860 The earliest ones, the earliest ones, they already were paving the way. 41:39.240 --> 41:40.840 I said, paving the way. 41:41.160 --> 41:47.980 They were the instruments to pave the way 200 years later for the birth of Roman 41:47.980 --> 41:48.780 Catholicism. 41:50.160 --> 41:57.040 Very, very tricky, because when you read their readings, you become almost alarmed. 41:57.120 --> 41:57.940 You become surprised. 41:58.140 --> 41:59.920 You say, these people have to be Christians. 42:00.300 --> 42:01.840 Look at the way they speak about Christ. 42:02.380 --> 42:04.920 All the time about the person of Christ. 42:05.300 --> 42:09.640 They deal so much with the person of Christ that they come in tremendous 42:09.640 --> 42:16.740 controversies about whether he was divine, when he was divine, what about his deity, 42:17.040 --> 42:24.160 and they will go as surgeons part by part from the hair to the torso of the person 42:24.160 --> 42:24.680 of Christ. 42:24.680 --> 42:28.480 They will negligent his teachings and doctrines about himself. 42:31.140 --> 42:34.840 Your theologians are doing this today in contemporary history. 42:37.000 --> 42:41.360 Your teachers, and even in some the schools, they are fooling around with the 42:41.360 --> 42:45.780 person of Christ, not even his teachings, much less believing it. 42:48.480 --> 42:53.940 And you are being told of the person of Christ from the birth to the cross, 42:54.280 --> 43:01.340 all throughout, but not his teachings and doctrines about his birth, about his life, 43:01.700 --> 43:06.820 about his ministry, about his sacrifice, about his death, about his resurrection, 43:07.280 --> 43:07.900 much less. 43:10.660 --> 43:15.800 And about his coming, priests will tell you with the creed of the apostles that he 43:15.800 --> 43:17.900 is coming to judge the living and the dead. 43:18.660 --> 43:19.600 That is about all. 43:21.600 --> 43:23.800 We were well trained, yes. 43:24.760 --> 43:32.660 You can see that I can recite and repeat everything, and priests can do it. 43:33.420 --> 43:35.560 They can recite and repeat everything. 43:39.430 --> 43:45.590 Hardly enough, as I went through the New Testament without the complete Bible, 43:46.010 --> 43:50.550 I begin to search for my identity as the priest to be. 43:51.030 --> 43:56.430 I once, before I was ordained to be a priest, I want to know where I was going. 43:56.810 --> 44:01.270 And I want to know from the point of view of the magisterium that I already was 44:01.270 --> 44:02.170 taught about. 44:02.430 --> 44:07.350 I want to know not only from the tradition that already I was trained and prepared to 44:07.350 --> 44:10.670 practice and to teach it, and to be subject to it. 44:10.990 --> 44:13.070 No, I want to know from the gospel. 44:13.490 --> 44:15.310 I want to know from Christ himself. 44:15.670 --> 44:22.010 I want to know whether my priesthood was in any time, in any place, in any instant, 44:22.310 --> 44:27.930 even taught by Christ, or followed by Christ, or revealed by Christ. 44:28.030 --> 44:30.530 I want to find that identity. 44:31.490 --> 44:32.630 It was not there. 44:33.230 --> 44:37.890 On the contrary, after I had the opportunity to search the Old Testament, 44:38.190 --> 44:42.830 I went back from the New Testament to the Old Testament, and a Roman Catholic Bible 44:42.830 --> 44:49.070 that I was given permission to study then later, under special permission to read 44:49.070 --> 44:51.210 certain passages, and to read. 44:51.390 --> 44:57.250 And every time that I read a passage, I have to give a report on what chapters 44:57.250 --> 44:59.530 and what books of the Bible I read. 45:01.710 --> 45:06.930 And through this, I went to the book of Leviticus, searching for that identity 45:06.930 --> 45:08.690 even within the Jewish priesthood. 45:09.050 --> 45:15.210 Because already I was taught that our priesthood comes as a result of the 45:15.210 --> 45:19.590 fulfillment of the Jewish priesthood, and this is the real priesthood. 45:19.930 --> 45:26.290 You will understand this better when I explain to you how my experience went 45:26.290 --> 45:31.290 through the ordination and future evening. 45:32.130 --> 45:41.050 But here we are, right at the crossroads of my ordination, when finally I found no 45:41.050 --> 45:46.510 identity in everything that I studied about the Jewish priesthood in the Old 45:46.510 --> 45:46.990 Testament. 45:47.950 --> 45:53.710 As a matter of fact, as I was already being prepared and being taught that in my 45:53.710 --> 45:56.930 ordination I will be receiving two powers. 45:57.250 --> 46:06.150 The power to do confession, what that means is the power to forgive things, 46:06.490 --> 46:08.810 and the power to transubstantiate. 46:09.110 --> 46:13.670 These were the two powers to be transmitted from the bishop at the time of 46:13.670 --> 46:14.370 the ordination. 46:14.710 --> 46:21.270 As I was already being told and taught about these two powers, then immediately I 46:21.270 --> 46:24.050 searched for this power within the Jewish priesthood. 46:24.350 --> 46:31.050 I said, this power must be given and granted by God already at least to the 46:31.050 --> 46:31.990 high priest. 46:32.290 --> 46:37.090 And I went to the book of Leviticus and found out for my own surprise that not 46:37.090 --> 46:39.570 even the high priest was given such a power. 46:41.490 --> 46:43.230 I said, but what is going on? 46:43.510 --> 46:50.610 We are told that we are coming from this priesthood as a result of the fulfillment 46:50.610 --> 46:51.950 later of the priesthood. 46:52.050 --> 46:58.470 But there is a real given priesthood to the Israelites by God himself that was 47:00.410 --> 47:07.110 sanctified for the confession of sins and for the forgiveness of sins. 47:07.410 --> 47:13.890 But that means only God preserves the right, the power, and the authority to 47:13.890 --> 47:15.590 forgive every sinner. 47:18.250 --> 47:25.110 And as I found there, I came back to the New Testament and I said, perhaps now in 47:25.110 --> 47:29.190 the New Testament, and maybe I do not see it before, I want to see it now. 47:29.430 --> 47:31.550 I do not find it in the Old Testament. 47:31.890 --> 47:36.230 But I found something in the New Testament as I went through the gospel and I arrived 47:36.230 --> 47:40.870 to the book of Hebrews as you read now in chapter 8, verse 4. 47:41.070 --> 47:43.650 Let me read to you from verse 1 to verse 4. 47:44.150 --> 47:49.910 And this is what I'm given to you, what I was given in the time of my own 47:49.910 --> 47:50.450 conversion. 47:51.650 --> 47:56.590 Now, of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum. 47:57.950 --> 48:06.070 And if you care, the sum of the things that we have spoken include chapter 5 of 48:06.070 --> 48:06.810 the same book. 48:07.210 --> 48:15.530 And chapter 5, chapter 6, and 7 will emphasize one particular thing about the 48:15.530 --> 48:17.010 priesthood coming from Christ. 48:17.330 --> 48:18.810 And that was what I was looking for. 48:18.990 --> 48:22.290 I said, that is, that is, the priesthood is coming from Christ. 48:22.490 --> 48:25.050 But what a surprise I was about to have. 48:25.690 --> 48:26.550 Listen to this. 48:27.610 --> 48:33.950 There is a moment in the ordination of a priest, every priest, even in Australia, 48:34.350 --> 48:39.490 in every city, wherever a bishop ordains a priest, one fact that is going to take 48:39.490 --> 48:45.550 place is that he will pronounce the priest as priest forever. 48:46.090 --> 48:54.630 And he will quote, he will quote from chapter 5, verse 5 on in the book of 48:54.630 --> 49:00.990 Hebrews, he will quote the fulfillment of the Melchizedek prophecy about Jesus 49:00.990 --> 49:04.430 Christ becoming that priest forever. 49:05.010 --> 49:11.030 And priests are told by their bishop as they are being ordained at the time of the 49:11.030 --> 49:17.650 anointing and imposition of hands by the bishop, he declares the priest ordained 49:17.650 --> 49:22.130 forever according to the order of Melchizedek. 49:22.170 --> 49:23.670 Now that is a lot. 49:23.970 --> 49:30.150 We will see how much relates this is to the manifestation of the Antichrist. 49:30.510 --> 49:35.830 We will see this, that even in prophecy, Jesus Christ prophesied, chapter 24 of the 49:35.830 --> 49:40.670 Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 24, about the Roman Catholic 49:40.670 --> 49:41.130 priesthood. 49:41.390 --> 49:45.110 You will understand better of this in the future messages. 49:45.390 --> 49:51.030 But now let's come back to chapter 8 from chapter 5, verse 1. 49:51.310 --> 49:55.450 Now of the thing which we have spoken, this is the psalm. 49:55.890 --> 50:02.890 We have such a high priest who is set on the right hand of the throne of the 50:02.890 --> 50:04.390 majesty and the heavenly. 50:04.930 --> 50:07.850 And to me, I was questioning about that high priest. 50:08.370 --> 50:11.830 And I said, the Holy Spirit must be referred then to the Pope. 50:12.450 --> 50:14.090 And that is the case. 50:14.170 --> 50:18.690 If we have a high priest, we are priest, then our high priest must be the Pope. 50:18.830 --> 50:22.310 Of course, Summa Pontificis is one of the titles of the Pope. 50:24.830 --> 50:30.150 But as I read more and more, I see that the Holy Spirit is not making reference 50:30.150 --> 50:31.170 not even to Peter. 50:33.130 --> 50:34.530 As the first Pope. 50:35.030 --> 50:40.370 But he is making reference to a living Christ that already is in heaven of the 50:40.370 --> 50:41.650 right hand of God. 50:42.170 --> 50:48.490 As the only high priest, that not only is a high priest in heaven, but is still a 50:48.490 --> 50:54.990 high priest and is still a priest because he fulfilled the prophecy of Melchizedek, 50:54.990 --> 50:57.590 being a priest forever. 50:58.910 --> 51:06.090 Not to give room, not to give room, not to over-priesthood, whether it was 51:06.090 --> 51:07.770 Jude or Gentile. 51:08.210 --> 51:15.510 He absorbed, only he absorbed the fulfillment of Melchizedek prophecy. 51:15.510 --> 51:17.890 He becomes that priest. 51:20.320 --> 51:27.130 And minister of the sanctuaries and of the two tabernacles all about Christ. 51:29.210 --> 51:33.370 Not Peter, nor Jewish priesthood, nor Aaron, no. 51:34.690 --> 51:37.150 Which of the Lord's picture and not men. 51:39.510 --> 51:46.290 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifice, the human priesthood. 51:46.610 --> 51:51.630 Wherefore it is of necessity that these men have someone also to offer. 51:52.750 --> 51:58.110 I as a priest later will have to go to another priest for my confession. 51:58.850 --> 52:02.410 And another priest will come to me for me to take his confession. 52:03.590 --> 52:07.410 And we will then offer sacrifice for our dreams. 52:07.790 --> 52:09.690 He will offer sacrifice for my sins. 52:11.610 --> 52:17.830 You can see the similarity between the Jewish priesthood, if you care to look in 52:17.830 --> 52:24.050 Leviticus chapter four, five, you will understand that the priest will also to 52:24.050 --> 52:26.190 make sacrifice for their own sins. 52:28.950 --> 52:34.530 We will have what is called mass of concelebration, or what is community mass, 52:34.530 --> 52:37.050 where laymen cannot get into. 52:37.770 --> 52:40.970 Only for that particular religious community. 52:42.230 --> 52:46.590 Where a priest will go and then they will take and turn their confession. 52:46.890 --> 52:51.810 I will choose my own confessor and some of the priests will choose me as their 52:51.810 --> 52:52.410 confessor. 52:52.670 --> 52:55.090 Not many priests choose me as their confessor. 52:56.030 --> 52:56.630 Regardless, 53:02.400 --> 53:07.860 this is why it is so difficult for them to say today that nobody knew me. 53:08.480 --> 53:09.980 That nobody knew him. 53:10.200 --> 53:11.540 Nobody knew that he was a priest. 53:12.060 --> 53:13.400 I understand too why. 53:14.080 --> 53:14.320 Yes. 53:14.780 --> 53:16.240 Now listen to this. 53:16.980 --> 53:20.680 For if he were on earth, who again? 53:21.100 --> 53:21.420 Peter? 53:22.900 --> 53:23.620 Aaron? 53:24.340 --> 53:25.320 John the priest? 53:25.440 --> 53:25.960 Jewish priest? 53:27.440 --> 53:30.520 For if he were on earth, conditional. 53:30.760 --> 53:31.100 If. 53:31.980 --> 53:36.660 The Holy Spirit is saying today, here, even in this very moment, 53:36.960 --> 53:39.260 in this very local church, right now. 53:39.760 --> 53:40.900 As a matter of fact, right now. 53:41.320 --> 53:46.420 If his Christ were here, today, this evening. 53:47.540 --> 53:52.240 If he were on earth, he should not be a priest. 53:55.430 --> 53:58.530 Of what priesthood he was referring that he would not be a priest? 54:01.630 --> 54:03.390 Even the Jewish priesthood. 54:04.890 --> 54:13.330 When he was already born, he was born and the angel came to Mary as well as the 54:13.330 --> 54:16.110 other people in the temple. 54:16.310 --> 54:21.590 And every testimony of every angel that brought revelation about the birth of 54:21.590 --> 54:27.390 Jesus Christ, no one of them will ever quote, will ever say anything that he was 54:27.390 --> 54:28.910 born to be a priest. 54:35.540 --> 54:42.700 And we were taught that the reason why we are to be priests is because Christ was 54:42.700 --> 54:43.920 born to be a priest. 54:45.460 --> 54:46.700 He was a priest. 54:47.740 --> 54:51.040 The Holy Spirit said he will not be a priest. 54:51.420 --> 54:52.640 Not even a Jewish priest. 54:53.640 --> 54:57.080 You can imagine, much less a Roman Catholic priest. 54:58.940 --> 55:06.360 If that priesthood that was already given by God, decreed by God, Christ himself was 55:06.360 --> 55:08.540 not born to be one of them. 55:09.800 --> 55:10.420 Can you imagine? 55:13.520 --> 55:21.300 How I will dare to say, not only later, that I was not only a priest, but I was 55:21.300 --> 55:21.780 Christ. 55:23.020 --> 55:27.080 That is how the interpretation takes place. 55:27.080 --> 55:33.240 By the time that a bishop said, you are a priest forever, according to the 55:33.240 --> 55:38.080 order of Melchizedek, most Catholics do not realize the dimension of this 55:38.080 --> 55:38.540 blasphemy. 55:39.960 --> 55:40.980 It is a blasphemy. 55:41.240 --> 55:42.320 It is not only a heresy. 55:42.780 --> 55:43.660 It is a blasphemy. 55:44.860 --> 55:52.320 When you are being amended, according to the order of Melchizedek, you are 55:52.320 --> 55:57.640 committing a blasphemy against the only person that was to be ordained according 55:57.640 --> 55:59.840 to the order of Melchizedek. 56:00.080 --> 56:01.360 That was Jesus Christ. 56:05.240 --> 56:10.400 To my own shocking surprise, I could not find identity. 56:10.620 --> 56:16.280 On the contrary, I find so much discrepancy and so much antagonism to what 56:16.280 --> 56:18.880 I was to be, the Roman Catholic priest. 56:19.920 --> 56:26.880 The more that I look forward to meet my Christ, my Savior, as has welcomed me to 56:26.880 --> 56:33.180 be his priest and to be him as a priest, to be him as priest, because then the 56:33.180 --> 56:39.940 bishop will come and tell you, you are another Christ, who is also 56:39.940 --> 56:40.600 Christ. 56:46.360 --> 56:52.080 Now you may tell me that your own priest and the Pope won't believe that, 56:52.160 --> 56:54.080 and that he said that he don't accept that. 56:54.080 --> 56:56.420 Well, he's lying twice. 56:58.180 --> 56:59.760 Not only once. 57:01.440 --> 57:06.320 Because the priests that do not admit the reality according to canon law, 57:06.660 --> 57:14.620 that he is Christ on earth, not as the Pope is, Vicarus Filii does, but another. 57:15.020 --> 57:16.540 Now, see the difference here. 57:17.020 --> 57:22.540 Vicarius Filii says, the root Latin, the verb is 2S. 57:28.810 --> 57:36.370 If God is being the sign of being Christ, being Christ, that is only for the Pope. 57:39.960 --> 57:48.260 2S Vicarius Filii says, you are the one that takes the place of the Son of God. 57:50.120 --> 57:56.600 While the priest receives the title 2S Alto Christo, you are another, 57:57.080 --> 58:00.620 you are not Christ, you are another Christ. 58:04.520 --> 58:10.980 We will understand more of this in chapter 18, according to Proverbs. 58:11.740 --> 58:21.080 But now, let me bring to you what I was brought to, the most critical moment of my 58:21.080 --> 58:29.140 life, trying to decide whether to be a Roman Catholic priest or not. 58:29.560 --> 58:35.920 Who serve, for if he were on earth, verse 4, chapter 8 of the book of Ezekiel, 58:36.320 --> 58:42.020 he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts 58:42.020 --> 58:43.580 according to the law. 58:44.200 --> 58:51.540 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly saints, as Moses was admonished 58:51.540 --> 58:57.980 of God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said he that thou make 58:57.980 --> 59:03.360 all things according to the pattern should to thee and the mount. 59:04.540 --> 59:06.180 Now that is more impressive. 59:06.780 --> 59:09.520 God's jealousy is impressive. 59:10.280 --> 59:14.880 He said, you are to make everything, including the priesthood. 59:15.200 --> 59:20.120 As a matter of fact, Moses told Aaron and his children, if you read Leviticus 59:20.120 --> 59:26.180 chapter 3, 4 and 5, when he was being prepared to occupy that office, 59:26.560 --> 59:33.240 he already admonished Aaron and his children that he did, he said to himself, 59:33.640 --> 59:40.380 I do what I'm doing according to what God Jehovah has commanded me to do. 59:41.860 --> 59:44.540 There were no tradition involved. 59:45.260 --> 59:48.640 There were not personal ideas of Moses about. 59:49.920 --> 59:59.300 He must refer to God's decree as the only alternative for that to be a reality where 59:59.300 --> 01:00:07.060 people can trust, where people can come with faith and being safe and approaching 01:00:07.060 --> 01:00:07.620 God. 01:00:07.720 --> 01:00:12.460 He said, I'm doing this according to what God told me to do. 01:00:13.620 --> 01:00:18.740 Everything from the offerings to the sacrifice to the bed man, to the oil, 01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:23.340 to the anointing, everything according to God commanded me to do. 01:00:24.100 --> 01:00:30.060 But I was searching from the preparation to me to be a priest to all what the 01:00:30.060 --> 01:00:31.220 ordination involved. 01:00:31.540 --> 01:00:37.120 I was seeking, searching for that identity and every aspect of the liturgy, 01:00:37.300 --> 01:00:41.580 every aspect of the ordination, every aspect of the teaching, every aspect 01:00:41.580 --> 01:00:44.820 of the canon law that involved the Roman Catholic priesthood. 01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:50.040 I was searching for that identity with Christ, with his teaching, with his 01:00:50.040 --> 01:00:52.960 doctrines about the Roman Catholic priesthood. 01:00:53.260 --> 01:01:00.040 To my surprise, I found out that Christ himself will never, will never, 01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:05.280 if he were to be here today, will never be a Jewish priest. 01:01:05.640 --> 01:01:12.540 The question here now is, will Christ, will Christ be a Roman Catholic priest if 01:01:12.540 --> 01:01:13.880 he were here today? 01:01:20.490 --> 01:01:23.510 That was enough to my confidence. 01:01:23.930 --> 01:01:25.270 It was enough to my soul. 01:01:25.830 --> 01:01:30.570 I wonder, but this is enough to your own confidence. 01:01:31.050 --> 01:01:33.690 I have letters here. 01:01:34.390 --> 01:01:40.090 There is a tremendous amount just for a little portion of mail that I was given 01:01:40.090 --> 01:01:43.890 before I depart from California that call my personal attention. 01:01:44.190 --> 01:01:46.370 As you can see, I have several of them here. 01:01:47.510 --> 01:01:54.550 From different states and including from especially from the nation of the kingdom 01:01:54.550 --> 01:01:55.870 of Saudi Arabia. 01:01:58.170 --> 01:02:07.290 As these people have read Alberto, they have questioned now about every other 01:02:07.290 --> 01:02:16.610 Roman Catholic priest, and they questioned saying, will a Roman Catholic priest could 01:02:16.610 --> 01:02:17.630 be saved? 01:02:19.130 --> 01:02:25.850 Could ever a Roman Catholic priest die as a Roman Catholic priest doing so much good 01:02:25.850 --> 01:02:28.890 could ever be saved? 01:02:31.240 --> 01:02:38.700 These are their questions, including some that have prisoned none as relatives here. 01:02:44.600 --> 01:02:48.240 And the truth is, there is a very painful answer. 01:02:49.260 --> 01:02:55.440 There is not even possibility that no one, no one may be saved. 01:02:56.880 --> 01:03:00.120 What happened with the priest will happen with you. 01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:05.780 Last night we have some young people coming to us after the service. 01:03:06.520 --> 01:03:11.640 They were given the opportunity to surrender their lives to Christ as their 01:03:11.640 --> 01:03:16.380 personal savior, knowing wrong and knowing truth. 01:03:18.440 --> 01:03:24.640 But they are still waiting to be saved when they themselves don't know. 01:03:25.480 --> 01:03:32.400 Catholic tradition has given them that expectation that someday they may be 01:03:32.400 --> 01:03:32.640 saved. 01:03:33.480 --> 01:03:35.200 Will you dare to do this this evening? 01:03:35.820 --> 01:03:41.900 Will you dare to wait for your salvation to come sooner or later? 01:03:42.820 --> 01:03:47.860 Or will you approach Jesus Christ this evening as the only high priest, 01:03:48.620 --> 01:03:55.300 as the only priest, as the only mediator between God and yourself this evening? 01:03:55.760 --> 01:03:59.400 Will you approach him through his doctrine, through his teaching, 01:03:59.940 --> 01:04:00.860 through his promises? 01:04:01.500 --> 01:04:08.120 Jesus said in chapter 3 of the Gospel of John, verse 46, if ye believe in the Son 01:04:08.120 --> 01:04:12.400 of God, ye shall have everlasting life. 01:04:13.860 --> 01:04:16.160 Catholicism could not guarantee you this. 01:04:16.720 --> 01:04:18.180 Not even all the sacraments. 01:04:18.640 --> 01:04:20.740 I said not even all the sacraments. 01:04:21.380 --> 01:04:27.060 Not all the prayers that a priest can pray, and all the rosaries, and all the 01:04:27.060 --> 01:04:29.320 masses that a priest can do for your soul. 01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:34.060 Not all of them could even touch the hope of your salvation. 01:04:37.070 --> 01:04:38.490 But there is a promise. 01:04:39.810 --> 01:04:46.330 If ye believe in the Son of God, ye shall have everlasting life. 01:04:47.130 --> 01:04:52.430 And you're going to answer me as this young people answer saying, but we do 01:04:52.430 --> 01:04:53.270 believe in Christ. 01:04:53.430 --> 01:04:54.090 Why not? 01:04:54.310 --> 01:04:56.750 We can be Christians and be Catholic. 01:04:58.090 --> 01:05:03.350 Why not being a Christian, receiving Christ, confessing Christ, and go to 01:05:03.350 --> 01:05:05.730 certain things and stay there? 01:05:05.990 --> 01:05:06.470 Why not? 01:05:09.660 --> 01:05:11.200 Come with me again. 01:05:12.900 --> 01:05:19.200 Verse 4, for if he were on earth, he shall not be a priest. 01:05:22.820 --> 01:05:24.520 Would you challenge Christ? 01:05:25.660 --> 01:05:27.420 Would you defy Christ? 01:05:29.400 --> 01:05:37.040 If he himself already, he will not be a priest, not a Jewish priest, much less a 01:05:37.040 --> 01:05:43.600 Roman Catholic priest, what are your expectations and hopes within the Roman 01:05:43.600 --> 01:05:44.900 Catholic priesthood? 01:05:46.180 --> 01:05:47.460 Where they are? 01:05:47.580 --> 01:05:49.920 I would like to see that you have any. 01:05:50.720 --> 01:05:52.040 Where they are? 01:05:52.360 --> 01:05:53.480 Based on what? 01:05:55.500 --> 01:06:03.340 When the promise of Christ himself is being denied by the fact of the priesthood 01:06:03.340 --> 01:06:03.780 alone. 01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:05.100 By the fact. 01:06:05.620 --> 01:06:11.860 What that means is that even the priest himself is that objection to Christ's 01:06:11.860 --> 01:06:12.160 promise. 01:06:13.060 --> 01:06:17.280 Priests are the greatest objections to your own salvation. 01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:25.880 Not the help, not the meditation, not the one that's going to help for you 01:06:25.880 --> 01:06:31.020 to be saved, but on the contrary are the ones that are depriving you and every 01:06:31.020 --> 01:06:37.560 millions and millions of Roman Catholics, depriving them from his name. 01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:45.000 Jesus said, if you believe in the son of God, you shall have everlasting life. 01:06:45.260 --> 01:06:52.300 Tell me when a priest can give that promise to any, any Roman Catholic at any 01:06:52.300 --> 01:06:52.840 given time. 01:06:53.260 --> 01:06:54.180 You know what will happen? 01:06:54.720 --> 01:06:58.460 The priest himself will be no longer a Roman Catholic priest. 01:07:00.540 --> 01:07:06.040 It's contrary to Catholic system and contrary to the decrees of the Council of 01:07:06.040 --> 01:07:12.860 St. 1546, that a person can be saved by grace through faith alone. 01:07:15.200 --> 01:07:18.680 And Christ wants to do that, exactly that. 01:07:19.220 --> 01:07:25.060 He wants to save you by grace, through faith, and he and his word. 01:07:28.580 --> 01:07:34.800 Whatever you go and trying to explain or find some logical remedy to the dilemma, 01:07:35.020 --> 01:07:38.920 to your problem, within the priesthood, you will never find it. 01:07:39.360 --> 01:07:40.540 Never, never. 01:07:41.920 --> 01:07:48.540 The reason why I became a priest, it's not just because my mother brought me 01:07:48.540 --> 01:07:50.280 into the priesthood, my father. 01:07:50.600 --> 01:07:55.980 It's not because when I was nine years old, I swear to God that I'll be a priest. 01:07:56.660 --> 01:08:02.200 It's because the perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ makes that occasion 01:08:02.200 --> 01:08:03.940 possible for me to do it. 01:08:06.780 --> 01:08:10.740 You were expecting, as many said, well, you were the one. 01:08:11.180 --> 01:08:15.740 But you see, I did what I did because I was a Catholic first. 01:08:19.120 --> 01:08:23.580 No one, not being a Roman Catholic, ever be a Roman Catholic priest. 01:08:23.660 --> 01:08:24.120 Impossible. 01:08:24.900 --> 01:08:28.040 You must be a Roman Catholic to be a Roman Catholic priest. 01:08:29.060 --> 01:08:34.380 No one become a Roman Catholic either, as we said last night in the first part of 01:08:34.380 --> 01:08:35.160 my testimony. 01:08:35.660 --> 01:08:42.360 No one, no human, not Indian, no aboriginal of this land, no one ever 01:08:42.360 --> 01:08:48.740 became a Roman Catholic because the gospel of Jesus Christ, because the preaching of 01:08:48.740 --> 01:08:54.300 the gospel, but because the perversion, the greatest perversion of the gospel of 01:08:54.300 --> 01:08:55.020 Jesus Christ. 01:08:55.980 --> 01:08:59.960 There are all kinds of occult and religions in the world. 01:09:00.320 --> 01:09:04.940 Thousand upon thousand of them, from north to south, east to west, 01:09:05.260 --> 01:09:12.360 the world is full of occult and all satanic religions, occultism, and you name 01:09:12.360 --> 01:09:14.200 it, witchcraft, you name it. 01:09:14.700 --> 01:09:19.500 But there is one religion that has won the record above them all. 01:09:20.300 --> 01:09:22.040 This is Roman Catholicism. 01:09:23.820 --> 01:09:29.220 The devil has made of that religion, of this system, the masterpiece. 01:09:30.280 --> 01:09:37.040 No other religion has brought more death to the world than the Roman Catholic 01:09:37.040 --> 01:09:37.560 system. 01:09:38.100 --> 01:09:38.520 No other. 01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:40.920 You can prove it. 01:09:41.340 --> 01:09:43.220 You cannot expect from me to prove it. 01:09:43.300 --> 01:09:45.940 You can prove it yourself anytime that you wish. 01:09:46.900 --> 01:09:53.700 And 1,600 years of history of Roman Catholicism, billions upon billions and 01:09:53.700 --> 01:09:59.940 trillions and quadrillions of souls have departed this planet without hope of 01:09:59.940 --> 01:10:02.080 salvation, much less salvation. 01:10:06.680 --> 01:10:10.660 Religions have gone and come, pagan religions of all kinds. 01:10:11.160 --> 01:10:17.680 No other religion has gone as far as Roman Catholicism to use even political power, 01:10:17.900 --> 01:10:23.180 not only persuasion, not only perversion of the gospel, but political power to 01:10:23.180 --> 01:10:35.320 enforce death in the pathway of every nation, of every family, of every human 01:10:35.320 --> 01:10:35.620 being. 01:10:40.480 --> 01:10:44.980 When Catholicism came to this land, they were not alone. 01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:51.340 They were here with the protection of political power. 01:10:52.400 --> 01:10:58.020 And never one single Roman Catholic missionary has crossed no land, 01:10:58.220 --> 01:11:07.540 no sea, alone, without the backing of political power to go and speak about the 01:11:07.540 --> 01:11:09.300 Roman Catholic teaching. 01:11:11.750 --> 01:11:21.530 They all were always protected, backed by physical forces, never by 01:11:21.530 --> 01:11:22.790 spiritual power. 01:11:24.270 --> 01:11:30.150 The only spiritual power that backed the Roman Catholic priesthood and their 01:11:30.150 --> 01:11:33.970 pursuit of losing the soul of every man 01:11:37.330 --> 01:11:39.670 is the power of faith. 01:11:42.030 --> 01:11:50.790 Let me show you in conclusion why finally I found out through the word of God why I 01:11:50.790 --> 01:11:53.150 became a Roman Catholic priest. 01:11:54.030 --> 01:12:06.550 As we read in chapter 17 of the book of Revelation and dealing with the persuasion 01:12:06.550 --> 01:12:11.750 of Roman Catholic teaching, you have no excuses tonight. 01:12:12.890 --> 01:12:21.670 No one will ever have excuses when God's word is given, shown by the teachings of 01:12:21.670 --> 01:12:22.170 the gospel. 01:12:22.610 --> 01:12:26.490 There is no biblical base for the Roman Catholic priesthood. 01:12:26.970 --> 01:12:28.430 There is no evidence. 01:12:28.630 --> 01:12:29.510 There is no proof. 01:12:29.850 --> 01:12:31.090 There is no connection. 01:12:31.390 --> 01:12:38.350 There is no sign that anything that a priest is and a priest represents can be 01:12:38.350 --> 01:12:40.030 related to the teachings of Christ. 01:12:40.310 --> 01:12:40.610 Nothing. 01:12:41.130 --> 01:12:41.630 Absolutely. 01:12:42.070 --> 01:12:47.570 On the contrary, everything that a Roman Catholic priest is, that he represents, 01:12:47.770 --> 01:12:51.830 that he teaches, is contrary to the teachings of Christ. 01:12:52.370 --> 01:12:55.990 From the Old Testament to the New Testament, coming to the book of 01:12:55.990 --> 01:13:01.350 Revelation, the signs always are contrary, contrary and against them. 01:13:01.670 --> 01:13:11.230 Chapter 17 is set clearly, verse 5, And upon her forehead was a name written, 01:13:11.530 --> 01:13:17.770 Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of Carlos and abominations of the earth. 01:13:18.490 --> 01:13:26.330 One fact alone is this, that I became a child and I was not a child of God as a 01:13:26.330 --> 01:13:27.270 Roman Catholic priest. 01:13:28.030 --> 01:13:29.470 I was not a child of God. 01:13:31.430 --> 01:13:35.670 You as a Roman Catholic, you are not a child of God. 01:13:36.430 --> 01:13:38.130 God is calling you to be one. 01:13:38.510 --> 01:13:38.850 This is it. 01:13:40.110 --> 01:13:42.430 But as a Roman Catholic, you have no identity. 01:13:43.030 --> 01:13:47.590 A priest as a priest has no identity with no adoption by God at all. 01:13:49.350 --> 01:13:55.850 But you do have an identity about your childhood with the spiritual power and 01:13:55.850 --> 01:13:56.710 they are not from God. 01:13:57.730 --> 01:14:01.770 You have an adoption by spiritual power. 01:14:01.930 --> 01:14:02.850 You have been adopted. 01:14:03.330 --> 01:14:06.250 The priest already celebrates that first sacrament. 01:14:07.050 --> 01:14:13.210 He exorcises you in preparation for the takeover of Satan when you have already 01:14:13.210 --> 01:14:14.910 the use of your wisdom. 01:14:16.310 --> 01:14:20.770 You see, from the first sacrament, baptism follows the second sacrament, 01:14:21.410 --> 01:14:25.490 in a line of seven sacraments, and that is the first communion. 01:14:25.490 --> 01:14:28.350 You see the point here? 01:14:29.230 --> 01:14:31.670 And then it follows the third sacrament. 01:14:32.750 --> 01:14:37.110 It's not by coincidence that these sacraments follow one to each other in a 01:14:37.110 --> 01:14:38.510 chronological manner. 01:14:40.030 --> 01:14:45.370 First, the baptism of an age that you cannot talk, that you cannot hear, 01:14:45.530 --> 01:14:50.550 that you cannot respond in the sense that your consciousness is aware of. 01:14:51.370 --> 01:14:52.330 But listen to this. 01:14:54.050 --> 01:14:58.850 The first communion comes after preparation and charismo, a minor 01:14:58.850 --> 01:14:59.790 charismo. 01:15:00.390 --> 01:15:05.170 And already there, your soul has been absorbed already. 01:15:07.150 --> 01:15:14.010 You no longer are that innocent child that the priest wants to possess and the pope 01:15:14.010 --> 01:15:18.490 wants to possess and the devil wants to possess, because regardless of their 01:15:18.490 --> 01:15:22.230 anxiety and desire to possess, they could not do it. 01:15:22.390 --> 01:15:24.590 We saw that by Christ's promise. 01:15:25.030 --> 01:15:30.850 Even being a child born within catholicismo, Christ gave the promise and 01:15:30.850 --> 01:15:37.550 the guarantee that if that child is to die in that innocent estate, he will be an 01:15:37.550 --> 01:15:41.330 inheritor of his kingdom, regardless where he's born. 01:15:43.570 --> 01:15:48.930 And no power could overcome the power of Christ, the promises of Christ, 01:15:49.230 --> 01:15:50.750 the teachings of Christ, no power. 01:15:52.330 --> 01:15:56.070 But the devil was after that soul, your soul, my soul. 01:15:56.850 --> 01:16:02.250 You were not given the gospel and you were given tradition replacing the gospel. 01:16:02.470 --> 01:16:06.670 If you were given the gospel, you will not become a catholic, you will become a 01:16:06.670 --> 01:16:07.210 christian. 01:16:08.870 --> 01:16:17.550 Paul told Timothy, from your childhood you have learned the scriptures that make you 01:16:17.550 --> 01:16:18.090 wise. 01:16:18.590 --> 01:16:24.410 He doesn't save you, he makes you wise for salvation in Jesus Christ. 01:16:26.010 --> 01:16:31.290 You can have 1,000 bibles in your house, you can be catholic or protestant but he 01:16:31.290 --> 01:16:32.430 won't do nothing to you. 01:16:35.510 --> 01:16:41.090 You need to believe what is in this bible, you need to believe the promises of 01:16:41.090 --> 01:16:43.630 Christ, you need to behave accordingly. 01:16:45.230 --> 01:16:52.430 Listen to this, mystery Babylon the great, the mother of harlot, and in prophets 01:16:52.430 --> 01:17:00.790 already the roman catholic institution is identified as no other religion has ever 01:17:00.790 --> 01:17:01.670 been identified. 01:17:03.450 --> 01:17:08.750 So many people ask me and say but where do you see the name of the roman catholic 01:17:08.750 --> 01:17:09.510 church there? 01:17:10.390 --> 01:17:15.330 I have pastors that tell me that these prophets refer, not priests, pastors, 01:17:16.290 --> 01:17:20.850 that tell me that these prophets do not refer to the roman catholic institution, 01:17:21.810 --> 01:17:23.850 they refer to masonry. 01:17:25.290 --> 01:17:27.330 These are the masons they say, 01:17:30.590 --> 01:17:37.130 and these are the new age movements, the hidden secrets of the rainbow. 01:17:39.790 --> 01:17:45.790 And others come and said no, no, no, this was the old roman empire. 01:17:49.740 --> 01:17:56.660 Oh and even Billy Graham Cummings said the future Babylon, oh another Babylon, 01:17:56.980 --> 01:17:58.640 yes it's the future Babylon. 01:17:59.520 --> 01:18:05.400 Well it's going to be too late when they build that Babylon, because Babylon has 01:18:05.400 --> 01:18:07.820 been here for 1600 years already. 01:18:09.780 --> 01:18:11.280 It's going to be too late. 01:18:11.280 --> 01:18:21.300 So find the truth now, don't go too far into the future, be realistic now, 01:18:22.280 --> 01:18:27.620 because the prophets of Christ they work now, perhaps tomorrow they will not work 01:18:27.620 --> 01:18:28.420 for you. 01:18:30.790 --> 01:18:36.930 Mother of harlots and abominations of the earth, you said there is no name? 01:18:37.350 --> 01:18:38.510 Who said there is no name? 01:18:39.070 --> 01:18:45.550 Um there is only one official title of the roman catholic institution. 01:18:46.030 --> 01:18:50.030 I'm not giving you even all the descriptions that are here, because step 01:18:50.030 --> 01:18:56.390 by step Rome, the Vatican, is being described prophetically part by part in 01:18:56.390 --> 01:18:56.990 this prophecy. 01:18:57.390 --> 01:18:58.890 I said part by part. 01:18:59.790 --> 01:19:05.270 From geography to economy, everything is here to the lucid dream. 01:19:07.190 --> 01:19:09.770 But I'm going to give you the name, it's here too. 01:19:11.570 --> 01:19:15.350 I don't have to make an interpretation, I don't believe in private interpretation. 01:19:17.490 --> 01:19:23.430 I refuse to believe it and I reject those who fool around with it. 01:19:24.650 --> 01:19:26.630 There is no such thing like a private interpretation. 01:19:27.270 --> 01:19:31.610 The bible was not made for us to have private interpretations, it was made up 01:19:31.610 --> 01:19:32.950 for us to believe it. 01:19:34.730 --> 01:19:35.410 As it is. 01:19:36.190 --> 01:19:37.350 That is your problem. 01:19:38.230 --> 01:19:42.310 You are dealing with a lot of interpretations around you, a lot of 01:19:42.310 --> 01:19:47.290 thinking, a lot of opinions, but you are as atheist as any communist. 01:19:49.830 --> 01:19:50.690 It's too hard? 01:19:52.410 --> 01:20:00.330 You see, scientific atheism is communism, but there is religious atheism and they go 01:20:00.330 --> 01:20:01.770 hand to hand. 01:20:02.770 --> 01:20:07.250 It's why you have three quarters parts of the world are under communist power. 01:20:07.630 --> 01:20:09.890 Do you know who were these people in this nation? 01:20:10.690 --> 01:20:12.350 Under communist power today. 01:20:12.670 --> 01:20:13.550 Do you know who they were? 01:20:14.010 --> 01:20:15.290 They were roman catholics. 01:20:16.330 --> 01:20:17.070 You be aware. 01:20:18.110 --> 01:20:19.050 I said be aware. 01:20:19.910 --> 01:20:22.810 You young men, you young women, you be aware. 01:20:23.670 --> 01:20:28.470 24 hours around the clock you are going to change without even wanting. 01:20:31.030 --> 01:20:36.290 If a million has done and with millions of people has happened, why not with you, 01:20:36.490 --> 01:20:37.250 without Christ? 01:20:38.350 --> 01:20:38.870 Why not? 01:20:41.670 --> 01:20:44.570 Mother of holocaust and abomination, both. 01:20:45.590 --> 01:20:51.630 Religion in one side, holocaust, and ideology in the other side. 01:20:52.690 --> 01:20:59.410 Every other ideology in the world is the byproduct of the greatest abominations and 01:20:59.410 --> 01:21:00.650 corruptions in this planet. 01:21:04.010 --> 01:21:10.090 Listen, the roman catholic institutions bear a title from the beginning under the 01:21:10.090 --> 01:21:12.090 emperor Constantine the Great. 01:21:12.790 --> 01:21:18.590 The title is still as official today as it will be ever. 01:21:19.150 --> 01:21:29.900 The title is the holy mother roman catholic and apostolic church who said 01:21:29.900 --> 01:21:34.840 there is no prophesied a name for that institution. 01:21:36.560 --> 01:21:37.240 Mother. 01:21:39.540 --> 01:21:44.440 Contrary to that, I want to find my identity as a child of God being a priest. 01:21:44.720 --> 01:21:45.640 I could not find it. 01:21:45.640 --> 01:21:50.540 How I can be a priest of God when I was not even a child? 01:21:52.320 --> 01:21:53.780 That was more dramatic. 01:21:56.820 --> 01:22:03.360 Even if I were to be granted the reality that the roman catholic priesthood is from 01:22:03.360 --> 01:22:03.840 God. 01:22:05.060 --> 01:22:10.340 Even if I were to be granted that, what I was doing as a roman catholic 01:22:10.340 --> 01:22:12.840 priest when I was not even a child of God? 01:22:13.580 --> 01:22:17.780 And no priest can become a child of God. 01:22:18.460 --> 01:22:24.440 I mean they can become, I became one, but I could not be longer a priest. 01:22:26.800 --> 01:22:32.680 The contradiction explains itself the mystery of the angel when he said mystery. 01:22:33.120 --> 01:22:34.400 Babylon the great. 01:22:35.380 --> 01:22:39.620 This is not just Babylon, this is Babylon the great. 01:22:43.650 --> 01:22:49.570 To tell you that it's the same Babylon that will come later, he says Babylon the 01:22:49.570 --> 01:22:49.990 great. 01:22:50.870 --> 01:22:55.190 And to make it more specific and clear, the mother, the mother. 01:22:58.800 --> 01:23:04.200 Who is that religion that officially is appointed to be a mother? 01:23:05.080 --> 01:23:09.920 Only the catholicism, nor the brahman, nor the muslim, nor the buddhist, 01:23:10.400 --> 01:23:15.260 nor other ancient or modern religions will ever choose a title as such. 01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:21.400 Now is your turn, decision. 01:23:23.480 --> 01:23:26.840 God has spoken to you as he did with me. 01:23:27.440 --> 01:23:28.540 He has spoken to me. 01:23:29.260 --> 01:23:32.400 I have passed on to you what he spoke to me. 01:23:34.180 --> 01:23:36.720 You need to respond to Christ. 01:23:37.800 --> 01:23:43.320 He is your only high priest, your only priest, and your only meditator between 01:23:43.320 --> 01:23:44.900 you and God. 01:23:47.440 --> 01:23:58.240 As we approach the son of invitation, you will do great, a great thing for your 01:23:58.240 --> 01:23:58.640 life. 01:23:59.920 --> 01:24:04.940 Perhaps the great, I would say perhaps, I'm sure is the greatest thing that you 01:24:04.940 --> 01:24:12.880 ever did in your life, is to come to realize that without Christ, there is no 01:24:12.880 --> 01:24:14.300 hope of salvation. 01:24:15.500 --> 01:24:17.900 And you may say, but I believe in Christ. 01:24:18.440 --> 01:24:23.700 And I tell you this evening, after what you have here, there is not even truth. 01:24:24.300 --> 01:24:29.220 There is no truth that you believe in the Christ of the gospel. 01:24:30.780 --> 01:24:36.760 You have been made to believe in another Christ, but not in the Christ of the 01:24:36.760 --> 01:24:37.000 gospel. 01:24:37.960 --> 01:24:41.480 If you did believe in the Christ of the gospel, you will believe what he said. 01:24:42.060 --> 01:24:47.120 If you believe in the son of God, you shall have everlasting life. 01:24:48.140 --> 01:24:56.160 You as a Roman Catholic, this evening, if you are still one, you have never been 01:24:56.160 --> 01:25:02.200 given, not even as a charismatic, even as charismatic, professing to be born 01:25:02.200 --> 01:25:03.860 again when you are not. 01:25:04.900 --> 01:25:08.280 Professing to know Christ when Christ did not know you. 01:25:09.220 --> 01:25:11.760 Professing to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. 01:25:12.300 --> 01:25:16.440 Professing to be given gifts and operations and ministries. 01:25:16.620 --> 01:25:25.220 As the claims go all around, you are still professing another Christ, another Jesus. 01:25:26.940 --> 01:25:33.080 You must realize that soon and quickly, and come to believe in Christ. 01:25:36.000 --> 01:25:41.320 If ye shall believe in the son of God, you shall have everlasting life. 01:25:41.860 --> 01:25:45.640 While you are still even a charismatic, you can even tell your priest, 01:25:45.780 --> 01:25:51.340 I am saved, and the priest perhaps will excuse you that today, but not tomorrow. 01:25:51.780 --> 01:25:56.120 They'll call you before a tribunal of the inquisition to give an account on that. 01:25:57.580 --> 01:26:01.180 It's convenient for them today to allow you to even say that much. 01:26:02.380 --> 01:26:03.460 I said it's convenient. 01:26:04.740 --> 01:26:06.560 You better understand what I'm saying. 01:26:08.380 --> 01:26:10.580 He said, but everything is different. 01:26:10.800 --> 01:26:11.880 Everything is changing. 01:26:12.400 --> 01:26:13.240 What is changing? 01:26:14.220 --> 01:26:15.200 What is changing? 01:26:17.640 --> 01:26:20.720 The reality of the three foods is still the same. 01:26:22.100 --> 01:26:25.800 I became a priest because of the perversion of the gospel, and every other 01:26:25.800 --> 01:26:30.320 Roman Catholic priest is the product of the perversion of the gospel. 01:26:30.320 --> 01:26:31.800 What is the change? 01:26:32.220 --> 01:26:33.120 Where is the change? 01:26:35.280 --> 01:26:40.760 In order for that priest to become identified with Christ through the gospel, 01:26:41.040 --> 01:26:43.780 he no longer can be a Roman Catholic priest. 01:26:44.740 --> 01:26:45.640 It happened with you. 01:26:45.880 --> 01:26:50.500 In order for you to identify yourself with Christ as your personal Savior and 01:26:50.500 --> 01:26:55.300 Redeemer, you no longer keep being a Roman Catholic. 01:26:55.860 --> 01:27:01.740 You become a Christian, a born-again person, a new person. 01:27:02.300 --> 01:27:10.020 All things are passed away, and what you leave now in the flesh, you leave it by 01:27:10.020 --> 01:27:14.100 faith in Jesus Christ and through the power of Jesus Christ. 01:27:14.600 --> 01:27:19.240 No longer the power of sacraments or the powers of the priesthood that were given 01:27:19.240 --> 01:27:22.940 to him to forgive things and to assist and pray. 01:27:23.160 --> 01:27:25.560 No longer all foreign powers. 01:27:25.880 --> 01:27:32.820 Now you are to lead by the truly only genuine power of Christ himself, 01:27:33.360 --> 01:27:36.260 a living Savior, a risen Savior. 01:27:37.180 --> 01:27:38.440 Come to him immediately. 01:27:39.520 --> 01:27:44.640 Approach him as he has approached you through this testimony. 01:27:45.440 --> 01:27:49.940 You don't refuse him, don't reject him for a long time. 01:27:50.060 --> 01:27:55.000 Perhaps you've been going through these ecstasies, religious ecstasies, 01:27:55.180 --> 01:28:00.920 about knowing Christ, but tonight you are given the opportunity to come face to face 01:28:00.920 --> 01:28:04.880 with him by faith, by faith and faith alone. 01:28:11.630 --> 01:28:19.710 This has been part two of an eight-part series of messages preached by Dr. Alberto 01:28:19.710 --> 01:28:28.490
