NEXT POTENTIAL POPE DECLARES JESUS NOT NEEDED

Welcome to another edition of an ongoing investigation as to whether or not the Roman Catholic church is a christian church. For those of you just tuning in, I have been discussing over the last few weeks all the evidence that supports the fact that the leaders in the Roman Catholic church do not believe in the Jesus Christ of the Bible. It is "another gospel" that is being preached from Rome. So please stay tuned today and the coming weeks, for I hope to share examples and ample evidence that the Roman Catholic church is not a church of Jesus Christ.

Not long ago I was watching a TV preacher share his "beliefs" on the prophecies of the Lord's soon coming. Needless to say I became a little upset about what he was preaching to the population watching. It was kind of like the last straw for me. All week I had been hearing one or more preacher on the radio, tv, or even in the newspaper preaching obvious and open errors on more than many subjects in God's Word on prophecy. I actually had to step outside in the cool of the night and ask the Almighty why He is allowing this to continue in such a worldwide blanketed magnitude. "It appears hopeless," I prayed, "I see so many lies being preached all over the media that it appears absolutely hopeless." I know I am not the only one that understands these prophecies, but I do know our numbers are small because the Word says that in the last days we will be very few in number. To get an idea of how small our numbers are, the Lord tells us in Luke 17:26, that it will be "as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man." We all know the entire world was in error, with the exception of a mere eight souls upon the ark of Noah. It seems so utterly hopeless for someone like me or anyone else that understands the truth to be effective in squelching this worldwide message of lies that is preached with such "self" confidence. Suddenly the Lord revealed something so magnificent that night, that I must share it with you in this broadcast.

In the first book of Samuel we read about the Biblical event of "David and Goliath." "Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span." [I Samuel 17:4] (9 feet 9 inches tall!) His, "coat of mail... was five thousand shekels of brass" [ISamuel 17:5] (125 lbs of chain mail!) Plus, "his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron" [ISamuel 17:7] (15 lbs!) Goliath was fortified! So fortified in fact that he even had a soldier, "bearing a shield... before him" [ISamuel 17:7] It looked totally hopeless to all of Israel! Goliath even began to boast of his great ability as a fighter to all Israel, mocking the Almighty and His children. He actually, "stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them... choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me. If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us. And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid. [1Samuel 17:8-11]

Imagine this near 10 foot giant in full combat gear waving his colossal sword demanding you fight him! Such fear fell upon all of Israel! Everyone felt in their hearts that they would soon become the servants of the Philistines. No one had the courage to step forward and proclaim the truth that Israel is the protected nation of the Almighty Creator of Heaven and Earth. They were so wrapped up in their fear of Goliath that they missed the fact that he defied the children of God that day! Everyone including the Philistines knew that God fought for Israel, but when Goliath shouted "give me a man that we may fight together", they took their eyes off the Omnipotent Creator God, and placed their eyes upon the request of Goliath. "THEMSELVES!" They fell for the ploy of the enemy. They were looking at their limited fleshly bodies, and Goliath's mortally graphic and obviously powerful fortified abilities. It wasn't until this time did the Lord have a small lad step forward with the faith of a child to answer Goliath's challenge. "And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance." [1Samuel 17:42] The Almighty and ever living God could have chosen the strongest man within the ranks of the Israelites army to fight Goliath. He could have also sent King Saul forward with new found strength. But no, He sent a boy forward so as to make no mistake as to who was fighting for Israel that day. A mighty warrior, or even a King stepping to battle may have led some to believe the "creation" that is man won the battle rather than the Creator. The Lord allowed David to win, so all would know. There is a God in Israel.

In the days of Jesus' birth, our Heavenly Father could have proclaimed His Son's arrival through the high priest. Or any one of the highly respected theologians of the day. But no, the Lord used simple Shepard's to proclaim the good news.
Later, in the beginning of Jesus' ministry Almighty God could have proclaimed all to repent through the high priest. Or He could have used any one of the many well learned men of the cloth to step forward in boldness to proclaim the arrival of the Lamb of God. But once again He chose to use one that would be "our" last choice as herald. One who appears totally unable, one who was never taught by man, one who would never claim glory for his own. He used the one called "John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.[Matthew 3:1-3]
Keep in mind people, John did not have a $1.000 suit, or a $10.000 Rolex watch. He didn't live in a big beautiful house in a well to do neighborhood, or drive a fancy car. John didn't even dine on steak and lobster, or even burgers and fries! As a matter of fact, "John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey." [Matthew 3:4]
The Lord revealed to me in the cool of that night that He will again use those that none would expect. They will have the faith of a child and proclaim His Son's arrival with great boldness. He will not use those that preach ear-tickling messages to assure the donations are flowing. He will not use those that translate prophetic events with a bevy of words like "maybe", "possibly", or "perhaps." No, His choice of herald will be the unpopular and small "remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." [Revelation 12:17] These that speak for the Lord will have absolutely no doubt in their hearts as to the validity of their message. These are "thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: ...for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." [Revelation 19:10] They will not preach as one who is unsure of themselves. They have no self worth. They will only preach as one who is anchored in their God! Yes, it appeared an impossible situation when Goliath stood before the armies of Israel. "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." [Matthew 19:26] Those of us that are daily vexed in our souls from hearing the lies that are being preached worldwide, have a bold and confident faith that the Lord is indeed coming soon. Yes it looks hopeless to the unguarded, and unknowing heart. But those of us that know the truth realize, this is allowed so that all may soon know that HE IS GOD. I openly challenge the child of God to step forward and proclaim to the "mountain" before them that Jesus Christ is Lord! And just as John the Baptist in all his meek ability, we shall all "go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." [Luke 1:17] No, the Lord will not use the high priest or the theologian to proclaim His Son's Arrival. Nor will He use the ear tickling preachers far and wide. As He has done many times before. The prophecy stands true! "God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;" [1 Corinthians 1:27] It may appear hopeless now, but much sooner than most can expect. All will know that...HE IS GOD!

So, after I was reassured in my heart  that the Lord still has all things under control. I began to wonder. Just how bad can it get? I know as do many people that Roman Catholic church has been instrumental in influencing all the churches of the world into idol worship. And we have all read the articles that expose the priests that have been convicted of almost every crime known to man. Everything from child molestation, to joining with an ex-guerrilla in Northern Ireland to rob a Brink's armored car of 7.4 million back in November of 1994. Does Antichrist have an ulterior motive in all this?

Here's an article that should wake up a few people still embracing the Catholic Church as their home, as well as many that think this church is authentic. The three Angels of Revelation are shouting to them right now to please come out before it's too late! The following article is an insult to all good Catholics the world over as well as any Christians that look upon the Pope as a man of God. How can Catholics allow this to go on in their church? EVERY good Catholic I know proclaims that you MUST accept Jesus as Saviour, correct? Well, then I challenge them now to make an intelligent decision as to the following article from Cardinal Francis Arinze who is reported to be the "possible" successor to the seat of Pope John Paul II.

------------------------------------------------
POTENTIAL POPE DECLARES JESUS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY

Cardinal Francis Arinze, who's considered a possible successor to Pope John Paul II, has denied Jesus is the only way to heaven. In a recent interview the spirited 66 year-old deputy for outreach to other religions was asked, "So was Jesus wrong when he said he was the way, the truth and the life?" Arinze responed, "If a person were to push what you said a little further and say that if you're not a Christian you're not going to heaven, we'd regard that person as a fundamentalist...and theologically wrong. I met in Pakistan a Muslim. He had a wonderful concept of the Koran. We were like two twins that had known one another from birth. And I was in admiration of this man's wisdom. I think that man will go to heaven. There was a Buddhist in Kyoto, in Japan. This man, a good man, open, listening, humble--I was amazed. I listened to his works of wisdom and said to myself, "The grace of God is working in this man." The interviewer then repeated the question, "So you can still get to heaven without accepting Jesus?" "Expressly, yes [he laughs with the audience]" (Dallas Morning News, 3/20/99)
--------------------------------------------------

As most Bible reading Christians realize, there are literally hundreds of verses that proclaim that Salvation is found ONLY in Jesus Christ! Just a "few" of my favorites are these...

John 3:16-17, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

Acts 16:30-31, "...what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."

This next Pope is boldly taking a stand for the exact opposite. Regardless if he gains the title of Pope or not, he is presently a Cardinal in the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH now teaching Catholics and all other religions the world over they need NOT accept Jesus as Saviour to be Heaven bound. Two things shall now occur here because of His open hellish blasphemy.

1. Many Catholics that "trust" these leaders will now cease in their efforts to evangelize Budhists, Muslims, Athiests, etc, simply because this Pope to be says it's not necessary to be a Christian to enter the Kingdom of CHRIST.

The verse that confirms this act as deadly:
****************************
Ezekiel 3:18, "When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
****************************

2. Many people from all walks of life will now use this Cardinal's pack of lies as Gospel and use them as their "excuse" so they won't have to make the decision to seek out Jesus as the necessary means of salvation.

The verse that confirms this act as deadly:
****************************
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
****************************

You do realize what's happening here don't you? The amount of wicked in the World far outweigh the TRUE Christians 100 to 1. Fact is, I have actually met people on the street that believe Satan is stronger than Jesus simply because MOST of the World is wicked. As we know  however, it's not that Satan is stronger, it's just that most of the world is WEAK! The Catholic church is appealing to the WORLDLY weak simply because there are more of them. They are preaching a worldly message to appeal to them so as to fill the pews with tithe pumping warm bodies. They don't care about them, they are only concerned with getting them IN the Church. They truly believe that the small amount of true Christians left cannot shout loud enough to overcome their evil desires. However, the LOUD CRY is about to occur and many will come to know the truth very easily. It truly is no different than Noah's day! Still, they won't be anywhere near as big a number as is seen in the WORLDY Catholic church. Why? "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:14)

The Roman Catholic Church has made their choice. Now they are trying to get the rest of the World to agree with them. For those of you that receive the Truth Provided Newsletter, do you remember the articles of the past I shared concerning the "ONE WORLD CHURCH" that has already started to fill? Think of it, if you can convince EVERYONE, Christians, and non-Christians all over the world that there is a church that accepts ALL paths to God you would have the makings of a very attractive church, right? It would be a church that absolutely EVERYONE regardless of their beliefs would want to take part in. Is it possible that the Pope would even go sa far as to give money to build churches to non-Catholic churches that do not recognize him or his church? If so, would this not be openly seen as being done to gain acceptance? Is it possible the Pope would do something like this to gain worldwide acceptance from everyone no matter what faith they claim? Well listen to this article...

POPE SEEKS UNIFIED FAITH FOR CHRISTIANS

Romania Orthodox welcome message
May 10, 1999
BY VICTOR L. SIMPSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUCHAREST, Romania -- Pope John Paul II on Sunday continued efforts to break down barriers that divide Christianity, calling on Orthodox Christians in Romania to "exchange the embrace of peace."
In a significant gesture by John Paul, Romanian Patriarch Teoctist announced the pope contributed an unspecified amount of money for construction of a massive Orthodox basilica in Bucharest.
At the end of the mass, John Paul invited the Romanian patriarch to visit him at the Vatican. Hearing these words, the crowd responded, shouting repeatedly: "Unity! Unity!"

------------------------------------------------

It is obvious that the one world church of Antichrist is up and running and filling quicker than most of us could have ever dreamed. Absolutely EVERY denomination regardless if it's Christianity or not is being approached by the Pope. And as you can see, if they are unable to "house" the masses in the present buildings they have, the Pope is all too willing to give them money to do so.

But wait a minute... We can use this open and obvious movement of hell to our advantage. HOW you ask? Well, everyone knows that the devil HATES the true Church of Jesus Christ right? And he would NOT want them to join him in this one world church because they would expose him easily right? So, lets look around... The Pope under the agency of hell is embracing and befriending ALL the religions of the world telling them they can all be saved and Heaven bound. He is doing this to get them to join him in the prophecied Antichristian one world church of hell. However, he will NOT openly invite the true Children of God. As a matter of fact, he will slander them and spit upon them and call them evil because of their ability to expose him. He will try to get the rest of the world, OR his "one world church" to see that those "fanatics" are hell bound and not worthy of Heaven. Has the Roman Catholic Church ever openly proclaimed a specific church hell bound? Is there such a church that fits this description already?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POPE DECLARES SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS CANNOT BE SAVED!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It [the Roman Church] firmly believes, professes, and teaches that the matter pertaining to the law of the Old Testament, of the Mosaic law, which are divided into ceremonies, sacred rites, sacrifices, and sacraments, because they were established to signify something in the future, although they were suited to the divine worship at that time, after our Lord's coming had been signified by them, ceased, and the sacraments of the New Testament began; and that whoever, even after the passion, placed hope in these matters of the law and submitted himself to them as necessary for salvation, as if faith in Christ could not save without them, sinned mortally. Yet it does not deny that after the passion of Christ up to the promulgation of the Gospel they could have been observed until they were believed to be in no way necessary for salvation; but after the promulgation of the Gospel it asserts that they cannot be observed without the loss of eternal salvation. All, therefore, who after that time observe circumcision and the *Sabbath* and the other requirements of the law, it declares alien to the Christian faith and not in the least fit to participate in eternal salvation, unless someday they recover from these errors.

*Did you notice the statement that those that keep the SABBATH will not see Heaven? So, let me get this straight. EVERYONE that wants to go to Heaven regardless if they believe in Jesus or not can go, UNLESS you are a Bible believing, commandment keeping, prophecy proclaiming, fruit bearing, true Remnant, Beast exposing, Spirit gifts claiming, Seventh day Adventist? One thing is obvious. If the devil is threatened by something or someone you can rest assure he will attack it. The Roman Catholic Church embraces ALL the churches of the World regardless if they are believers in Jesus or not. EXCEPT The SDA Church. And the SDA Church is the ONLY one that can be accurately described by reading this prophetic verse...

REV 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The dragon = the Devil (REV 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, ...)

The woman = the church (JER 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.)(Also see Eph 5:22-35)

The seed = the Child of God (ROM 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.)


Ok... the Bible says here that there are three signs here for the TRUE Church of Jesus.

1. They will believe in Jesus
2. They will keep the commandments
3. They will have the testimony of Jesus Christ

I am sure everyone understands what "keeping the commandments of God" means. But what does the Bible define as the "Testimony of Jesus Christ?"

Revelation 19:10, "... for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

The testimony of Jesus is the gift of prophecy. What church on this planet is known for keeping the TEN COMMANDMENTS (Including the Seventh Day Sabbath) and has the GIFT OF PROPHECY?

That's right! The Seventh Day Adventist Church! The SDA Church has been the MAIN movement behind exposing the Beast in the Vatican since October of 1844. And they are the ONLY Church that claims Jesus as Saviour and STILL keeps all ten of the Commandments. The Jews still "try" to keep the ten commandments, BUT they do not believe in Jesus as Messiah so they are unable to keep the commandments because Jesus is NOT helping them. I have no problem keeping them simply because, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." (Philippians 4:13)

After seeing the Scriptural facts, is this not open and outright evidence that the Vatican is the haven of hell? It is doing EXACTLY as prophecy said Antichrist would do. And as we understand in Revelation 18, there ARE still children of God in the Roman Catholic church that will eventually come out of her. At this time I would like to share a brief testimony of just one child of God that has come out of this church.
