Protestants and unfortunately some born again evangelicals are
embracing the devilish ecumenical road to Rome,
not knowing that Rome
still claims to be the only true church. Precisely, ecumenism according to Rome
means every one subscribing to the
satanic roman catholic church doctrines . See,
That They All May Be One: Seeing Through The Smokescreens of the Vatican’s Call for “Christian” Unity
by soulrefuge • •
As
a former Roman Catholic it never ceases to amaze me how there is little
or no resistance to the modern day ecumenical movement in the world
today. I remind you once again that we are fortunate to have a Bible in
our hands because of the many men and women of God who stood against the
church of Rome. I can testify to you today that it was the precious
seed of God’s Word that opened my eyes to the gross deception and
darkness of the Roman Catholic system, and I am forever grateful to the
Lord for that. Here is an excerpt from a very recent statement from the
Vatican Information Service:
POPE RECEIVES ECUMENICAL DELEGATION FROM FINLAND; URGES CONTINUOUS EFFORT FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
Vatican
City, 17 January 2014 (VIS) – Today the Pope received in audience an
ecumenical delegation from the Lutheran Church of Finland during their
annual pilgrimage to Rome. They have been celebrating the feast of Saint
Henry of Uppsala, patron saint of Finland, in this manner for 25 years
now.
The
Holy Father addressed them, saying: “The Apostle asks the members of
the community of Corinth, marked by divisions, ‘Is Christ divided?’ This
question has been chosen as the theme for the Week of Prayer for
Christian unity, which begins tomorrow. Today it is addressed to us.
Faced with voices that no longer recognize the full and visible unity of
the church as an achievable goal, we are invited to not give up our
ecumenical efforts, faithful to what the Lord Jesus himself asked of the
Father: ‘That they may all be one’.”
I
have seen the great inroads that have been made by Rome into the modern
day church over the past 25 years. It has been 20 years since the
original the ECT (Evangelicals and Catholics Together) agreement of 1994
which was spearheaded by the late Chuck Colson and many others. When
you mention Roman Catholicism in a negative way, and speak about their
false doctrines, people tend to just shrug their shoulders, and say “who cares?”
The leaven that the Lord Jesus Christ warned his followers about (Mark
8:15) have been ignored to their own peril and destruction. Pope Francis
talks about the “unity of the church” but he needs to be
reminded that the true church can never be mixed with the false and
demonic teachings of the Roman Catholic church! Here is another excerpt
from the recent Vatican statement:
Here
we find the room to grow in communion and in unity among, promoting
spiritual ecumenism, which is born directly from the commandment of love
that Jesus left his disciples. The Second Vatican Council also made
reference to this dimension: ‘This change of heart and holiness of life,
along with public and private prayer for the unity of Christians,
should be regarded as the soul of the whole ecumenical movement, and
merits the name, “spiritual ecumenism”.’ Ecumenism is, in fact, a
spiritual process, which is carried out in faithful obedience to the
Father, in fulfilment of Christ’s will, and under the guidance of the
Holy Spirit.” [Vatican City, 17 January 2014 (VIS)]
Pope Francis declared that “Ecumenism
is, in fact, a spiritual process, which is carried out in faithful
obedience to the Father, in fulfillment of Christ’s will, and under the
guidance of the Holy Spirit.” Hold your horses right there Jorge
Bergoglio (the real name of the Pope) I left your Roman Catholic system
over 25 years ago and that move was in faithful obedience to the Father,
in fulfillment of Christ’s will, and under the guidance of the Holy
Spirit! It was the Holy Spirit who opened my eyes to the spiritual
deception that I was in and he told me to leave immediately. It was the
Lord who showed me that the Roman Catholic Mass was an absolute insult
to the finished work of Jesus Christ upon the cross. Dear reader I
encourage you to read the article: “Does The The Roman Catholic Mass Satisfy The Justice of God or Did Jesus Christ Satisfy the Justice of God On the Cross?” We
are talking about a deception that is straight out of the pit of Hell,
and that is why I am shouting the warning once again. The leaven of the
false teachings of Rome have permeated the modern day “Christian”
Church and there are some absolutely amazing things which have taken
place recently, although some took place long before I came to know the
Lord Jesus Christ. I wrote about the well known Christian Evangelist
Luis Palau and his intermingling with the Roman Catholic Church at his
crusades. You can read the article here: “Roman Catholic Priests Are Hearing Confessions, and Distributing Rosary Beads At Luis Palau Crusades!! (Is Luis Palau A Wolf?)” I have heard Luis Palau being described as the Billy Graham of South America
because of his widespread appeal and the large crusades. When you have
such compromise going on in large arenas like that, it only continues to
allow the leaven of Rome to get deeper within the “church” and
accepted more readily. I have written about Billy Graham and how the
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has been working hand in hand with
the Roman Catholic Church for many decades now. A
well documented book by Dr Cathy Burns reveals that Billy Graham
removed the warnings concerning Roman Catholicism from his own Crusade
Edition of the Halley’s Bible Handbook.
“The
original Halley’s up until the 22nd edition (1959), warned about the
Jesuits. There are chapters about the Roman Papacy, and the Jesuits.
According to Mrs Halley, Mr Halley spent years working on those chapters
and never would have permitted the book to be changed. However, after
Mr Halley died, Billy Graham bought the rights to his book, and removed
all the research and warning about the Jesuits in the editions Billy
Graham printed.” [Billy Graham And His Friends: A Hidden Agenda? By Dr
Cathy Burns, page 440, Published By Sharing]
The modern day church has fallen for the modern
day lingo of the false unity people such as TBN (Trinity Broadcasting
Network) with Paul Crouch. I went to the TBN store on the TBN website
and I found them peddling Roman Catholic materials,
including books on how to pray the rosary, books about the Roman
Catholic Mass and scores upon scores of other books. I checked the TBN
website recently and I cannot find the TBN store link anymore so maybe
they stopped selling that stuff but I really do not know. That is a testimony to how far the modern day church has fallen. The modern day chant “the walls are coming down” is certainly true, because the walls are coming down, and the ”doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1) are flooding in with little resistance from the church leaders. I made the video “Satan’s Masterpiece: The Roman Catholic Church”
so that people could examine 10 different teachings of the Roman
Catholic Church and see for themselves that Rome is clearly preaching a
false gospel!
I
love putting up articles such as this one because I know (from
experience) that few people ever take the time to search out the
doctrines of Rome, and what they truly teach and believe. In the modern
day church if you can say “I love Jesus” then you are in, no matter what others may say. You can also teach your parrot or parakeet to say ”I love Jesus” if
you so desire. The Pope also declares that he loves Jesus, but the only
problem is, that the gospel of Rome, of which the Pope is the head,
preaches a different gospel than the one which Jesus Christ proclaimed.
The modern day ecumenical movement, (false unity movement) kind of reminds me of a scene from the ”The Wizard Of Oz” movie. Do you remember the part, where the little dog Toto pulled the curtain back, to reveal the “Wizard” inside
pulling the levers? The Wizard was deceiving all the people, giving off
the impression that he was someone big and powerful, but in reality he
was not. The modern day church with it’s multimedia “gospel” stations,
the humongous crusades, and everything else gives off the impression
something BIG is happening. This must be JESUS is the cry, but in
reality it is nothing but smokescreens. Satan, the father of lies, is
the one pulling the levers, and sending out the smokescreens, and
deceiving precious souls. The devil is singing right along with all the
rest, keeping them distracted, watching carefully, lest someone attempt
to pull back the curtain, and expose this whole charade! The Holy
Spirit, anointing the God’s Word, is the only one who can pull the
curtain back, and expose the fakers and the compromisers inside.
The Devil will say:
“Pay no attention to the ecumenical Pastor man/woman behind the curtain, with his false doctrines, can’t you see that he loves Jesus.”
“Pay no attention to that Priest on the altar, can’t you see that he loves Jesus too!”
“More smoke and more fog please, enlarge the image, raise the volume, increase the FIRE. That’s it REVIVAL has arrived! Do you see the love? Pay no attention to the false doctrines, my brother, my sister, God is truly moving here! It’s showtime folks!”
Would
to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with
me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused
you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his
subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is
in Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:1-3)
The
apostle Paul knew long ago that there would be wolves invading the
church. He wept night and day for three years because of his love for
souls. That man was once a a very deceived, and hellbound man, who
tasted of the mercy of God in a dramatic way. Paul knew beyond a shadow
of a doubt, that he deserved nothing but the lowest part of Hell, but he
received the grace and mercy of God instead.
Wherefore
I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all
men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the
which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God,
which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after
my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the
flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse
things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and
remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every
one night and day with tears. (Acts 20:26-31)
The
job of the shepherd is to protect and watch over the sheep. The
shepherd should have a sharp and keen eye open to the possibility of
wolves coming in. Why? Because wolves KILL sheep. The apostle Paul was
one of the few true shepherds who truly loved and cared for his sheep
(souls). Paul knew that the wolves would be coming, and he shouted out
the warning as best he could. (Acts 20:26-31) Paul wanted them to
record (make note) that he in fact was pure from the blood of men,
because he gave the people the full counsel of God. That statement could
not be made by the great majority of Pastors and leaders in this modern
day church. Their hands are not pure from the blood of all men. In fact
their hands are absolutely drenched with the blood of precious souls,
because of their failure to protect from the wolves, such as Rome!
The Protestant name came as a result of those who protested
against Rome and their wickedness. We possess a Bible today, because of
those who stood against Rome and their false gospel. Many were sent to
the flames because they protested against a gospel that damned mens
souls. People like John Huss, Martin Luther, William Tyndale and
millions of others cared enough and loved people to get the scriptures
in the hands of the common man. It is so sad, and absolutely disgraceful
that the modern day “ministers” remain silent while the “big name” evangelists
work hand in hand with Rome. Most people have absolutely no idea that
there are over one hundred anathemas (curses) which were upheld by
Vatican II (the Ecumenical Council) against people who would disagree
with their teachings! I am happy and blessed to tell you that I am
numbered among those who have been anathematized (cursed) by Rome! I
thank the Lord Jesus Christ for his beautiful grace and mercy and so
great salvation!
An Anathema
(curse) according to Roman Catholic Church, pronounces excommunication
upon heretics and gross sinners. The consequence is eternal damnation
unless the one who was anathematized repents and returns to the Roman
Catholic Church. Jorge Bergoglio (Pope Francis), I am not coming back
anytime soon! Here is the excerpt from Vatican II regarding those
curses!
“This sacred council accepts loyally the venerable faith of our ancestors
in the living communion which exists between us and our brothers who
are in the glory of heaven or who are yet being purified after death; and it proposes again the decrees of the Second Council of Nicea, of the Council of Florence, and of the Council of Trent.” Vatican II Volume I Costello Publishing Co. Northport, New York
Here are just a few of those anathemas in detail!
Regarding Justification by Faith:
Session 6 Canon 30
“If
anyone says that after the reception of the grace of justification the
guilt is so remitted and the debt of eternal punishment so blotted out
to every repentant sinner, that no debt of temporal punishment remains
to be discharged either in this world or in purgatory before the gates
of heaven can be opened, let him be anathema.”
Regarding the “Sacrifice of the Mass”:
Session 22 Canon 1
“If
anyone says that in the Mass a true and real sacrifice is not offered
to God ; or that to be offered is nothing else than that Christ is given
us to eat, let him be anathema.”
Session 22 Canon 3
“If
anyone says that the sacrifice of the Mass is one only of praise and
thanksgiving; or that it is a mere commemoration of the sacrifice
consummated on the cross but not a propitiatory one; or that it profits
him only who receives, and ought not to be offered for the living and
the dead, for sins, punishments, satisfactions, and other necessities,
let him be anathema.”
Regarding the Sacrament of the Eucharist:
Session 13 Canon 1
“If
anyone denies that in the sacrament of the most Holy Eucharist are
contained truly, really and substantially the body and blood together
with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently
the whole Christ, but says that He is in it only as in a sign, or figure
or force, let him be anathema.”
Regarding the Roman Catholic Sacraments:
Session 7 Canon 4
“If
anyone says that the Sacraments of the New Law are not necessary for
Salvation but are superfluous, and that without them or without the
desire of them men obtain from God through Faith alone the grace of
justification, though all are not necessary for each one ,let him be
anathema.”
I
am a born again (John 3:1-8), blood washed (Romans 5:8-9), Bible
believing Christian. As a former Roman Catholic, I would fall under
every single one of their anathemas (curses) according to Rome. If you
are an Evangelical, born again Christian, then you also fall under those
same curses without realizing it! This is not something from the
middle ages, ladies and gentlemen, but this is the Roman Catholic
doctrine of 2014. The modern day pastor (wizard) behind the curtain is
not interested in this stuff, as long as everybody loves Jesus, that is
the only thing that counts.
“We
are all one people in Jesus, can’t you see that the Roman Catholics
love Jesus too! We all sing the same songs! Pay no attention to the soul
damning doctrines, they are really not THAT important!” ”
“Eat the meat and spit out the bones my dear brother, my dear sister, can’t you see that we are having a revival today.”
Unfortunately the “leaders” of
today, have made the fatal mistake, of spitting out the meat (the truth
of the scriptures) and have swallowed the bones (of Rome’s false
gospel). The men and women behind their curtains have deceived many
over the decades but so few, ever seem to notice, or even care. What’s a hundred curses between friends?
