On one of the few historical plaques left undisturbed, say this: "Any one with Christ, and having been literate in the word of God, will not be deceived nor a slave to man made laws. For the sword that Jesus put into the mouths of the apostles, is the sword with which He strikes the world like lightning and thunder. For faith is nothing more than God living with in, and to understand the Bible correctly, for that we need the Spirit of Christ?"
His most famous: "Here I stand, I can do not other, so help me God!" [stand on what? The Bible}
You see, ever since 538 A.D. Rome contention was ans STILL is, to understand the Bible we need the "Spirit of the Papacy", but the Bible says we need the Spirit of Truth... The Holy Spirit......
John 14:16-18 " And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
Note: The Holy Spirit, has many names: The Spirit of God, the Holy Ghost, Comforter, Spirit of Truth.
BEGINS THE TRANSLATION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT IN GERMAN.
In exile at the Wartburg, he starts translating the New Testament, and on his return from the Wartburg, Luther revises the manuscript together with Melanchton. In May 1522, the printer Melchior Lotter begins his work and the 444 page volume is released in Mid-September, with an edition of at least 3000 copies. This edition was quickly sold out and followed immediately by a further revised edition containing 21 illustrations on the Revelation of John based on the 15 woodcuts of the apocalypse by Durer.
"Die Zeit des Schweigens ist vergangen und die Zeit zu reden ist gekommen" "The time for silence is gone, the time to speak has come"
We in the English speaking world, have a similar saying: "For evil to succeed, good men must do nothing." Thus when a SO_CALLED CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION, willingly and knowingly sets aside the Holy Bible and rely upon their own laws and traditions, it time for true believers to stand for truth and Christ!
"Man lasse die Geister aufeinander prallen aber die Faust haltet stille" "Let the minds clash but keep the fists down." That's good advice, but look------
Proverbs 15:1 "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."
Luke 6:35 "But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil."
In 1518 , the Inquisitor, [ note (JB) Ignacio Loyola had not yet put forth his ideas for the Inquisition that won approval by Pope Innocent in the late 1540's] , Silvester Prierias [1456- 1523] demanded full obedience to the p[ope. Luther replied that the church has only one head: Jesus Christ. By the end of 1520 he had become completely sure that the pope was Antichrist.
From 1533, the Emperor and the Pope negotiated over a council that was to resolve the dispute over faith. Luther demanded a free council which would acknowledge only the Bible as authority. In 1544 he polemically rebutted papal claims.
In his statement: The writings of Luther, are a poison to both the Pope and to Calvin Luther writes: "Rome has cut herself off from the universal Church; if ye reform not, I and all that worship Christ, do account your seat to be possessed and oppressed by Satan himself, to be the damned seat of the Antichrist, which we will not be subject to nor incorporate with, but do detest and abhor the same. {Romanism and the Reformation}.
So where indeed has the faith of our fore-fathers gone to? Do we hear anything like this today?
Johann Reiffenstein, a family friend wrote Luther's eulogy at his death: "Living, I was your menace, dying, I will be your death, pope. In the year 1546, leaving his his 63rd year behind and entering his 64th year, he died. And though he may be dead-- he lives" In Luther's own words, so to speak.
H. Gratten Guinness in 1887; "Romanism and the Reformation"
In A.D. 1500 there was not a free nation in Europe; All were subject to the tyrannical government of Rome. Now half of Europe and America are free from that intolerable yoke. Learning was revived, and the art of printing discovered, Since then the word of God has been multiplied, translated and expounded as never before. Mighty interpreters have been raised up, men such as Mede, Sir Isaac Newton, Elliot. Protestant Reformation was encountered by a tremendous Papal Reaction. Hardly was the ship of Protestant Church set free and launched upon the deep than there arose a mighty tempest.The resurrection of the slain "witness" of Christ, in the person of the reformers was answered by a resurrection of all the powers of the pit. [(JB) the War of the Roses, and the Hundred Year War, are but two of many] The awakening of men's souls brought war, ecclesiastical and civil, a war of anathemas and a war of exterminations. Look to it, ye brave reformers,. Ye many conquer, but it shall be through strife and anguish, and seas of blood."
Then mournfully he continues: "Rise up, O Luther. Cry out concerning "the Babylonian captivity of the Church," Burn the Papal Bull, rouse Germany; but you shall have your match. Satan shall bring forth his Loyola, and Loyola his Jesuits-- subtle, learned,,saintly in garb and mane, protean in form, infinite in disguises, innumerable, scholars, teachers, theologians, confessors, of princes, politicians, rhetoricians, casuists, instruments keen, unscrupulous, double-edged; men fitted to every sphere and every enterprise-- they shall swarm against the church of the reformation, each one wise in thew wisdom and strong in the strength which are not from above, but from beneath!
Note: (JB) The Head of the Jesuits, who call themselves "The Society of Jesus Christ" is commonly known as the "Black Pope", always dressed in black, and is called Father General! They and all the "Secret Societies" are members of the "Pope's Army", and numbers in the many 1,000's! They have infiltrated all governments, all agencies on earth, In fact all but three past Presidents of America were NOT 33rd degree Masons, Obama Is an unknown but is not doing America any favours agree?
IBID: "Ride forth, fair flower of France! Strive, ye brave Huguenots, [over 50,000 in one day, all inhabitants of this town to which the Government lured then to, and put to the sword {JB) in the 1700's the French killed all, of all ages! WHY? Because they believed in the Bible!] for your country's freedom and the faith of the gospel! But Paris shall run with your blood: ye shall lie i n heaps, like rubbish in the streets; your bodies shall choke the streams, they shall rot in the rivers,, they shall hang on chains, they shall be shovelled unto cemeteries, or buried in dung heaps. Rome shall ring her Joy-Bells and swing her Te Deums, and fill her cathedrals and palaces with acclamations because of the massacre of St. Bartholomew has overthrown, for a time the work of the Reformation in
France.
Note: Rome's bells did indeed ring out, at the news of the 50,000 dead, "heretics" now known as the St. Bartholomew Massacre! In The Netherlands, the nation of my birth, 1,000,000 were lost by murder, for heresy!
The many Huguenots fled from Belgium, France and Holland, to South Africa, and to the New World, Canada and America.
IBID: "Stand up, ye Hollanders! Stand up, William the silent! Stand up, ye men of Haarlem and Rotterdam, of Amsterdam and Leyden, ye brace burgers and earnest theologians. Ye dare to contend for civil liberty and sacred truth: your land shall groan beneath the tread of Alva's troops [Spanish] : your fortress shall fall, your citizens shall be thrust through with Spanish swords, your possessions shall be plundered, your wives and daughters shall be dishonored and foully murdered, your children trampled beneath horse hoofs, and trodden down like mire in the streets."
Note: the above is a very accurate description, of events back then!When men are told that God is on their side, no matter what evils they do, there's no seeming limits, to their depravity! Look at ISIS today!
IBID: Break thy chains, O England! Rome shall find the means to rivet them again; thou shalt have thy Bloody Mary [She forced England back to Catholicism thus her name], and they fires of Smithfield. {public burning alive heretics] Protestant Bishops shall burn for it: against thy sea-girth isle Spain shall send her proud armada; a fleet of one hundred and thirty great ships, of war shall come across the seas, twelve of them named after the the twelve apostles; They shall be laden with seaman and troops, with swords and guns and priests and Jesuits; the pope shall bless the banners. Woe to thee, O England, if heaven help thee not, if its winds forsake thy cause." Romanism and the Reformation.
Note: Heaven did indeed help England, the Spanish missed many of the ships,due to miscommunication at port in Holland-Belgium and N. France which was all Holland then, Then a storm blew in and well, only about a hand full of ships made back to Spain!
NOTE: If God had not sent the storm, if is very possible that we today would not have the Bible in any tongue but Latin!
THAT WAS THEN, BUT WHAT ABOUT NOW?
ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT xvi TO A DELEGATION OF THE ECUMENICAL PATRIARCHATE OF CONSTANTINOPLE"' {Eastern Orthodoxy} Friday 29th June 2007.
WE all desire to accompany its work with persevering prayer. May the Lord enlighten the Catholic and Orthodox members so that they many propose on the basis of sacred Scripture and of the
Tradition of the Church, solutions that can lead us to make important steps towards full communion.
I am very pleased to hear the the Ecumenical Patriarchate and Patriarch Bartholomew I himself are following the work of the Commission with similar sentiment. {Vatican.VA}
Note: was not THE issue of the Reformation the Tradition of the The Church? Note it still there right? All must bend to HER traditions, not she to anyone else. The Reformation in this Church's mind is over! Why they all pay homage to Rome with Sunday worship, right?
Benedict's message to the "Fathers and Brothers of the Society of Jesus {Jesuits} April 22- 2006.
Your visit today gives me the opportunity to thank the Lord, and you for having granted your Society the gift of men of extra holiness and exceptional apostolic zeal, such as St. Ignatius Loyola. St. Francis Xavier and BI. Peter Faber. For you they are the Fathers and Founders: It is therefore appropriate that in this centenary year you commemorate them with gratitude and look to them as enlightenment and reliable guides on your spiritual journey and your apostolic activities.
Note: OH REALLY? Read on: This following is a portion of the "Jesuit "Extreme Oath of Induction," as recorded in the Congressional Record of the U.S
"I...................... , Now in the presence of Almighty God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Blessed Micheal the archangel, the Blessed St. John the Baptist, the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, ands all the Saints, Sacred Hosts of Heaven,j and to you my ghostly Father, the Superior General of the Society of Jesus, founded by St. Ignatius Loyola, in the Pontification of Paul the Third, and continued to the present, do by the womb of the Virgin, the matrix of god, and the rod of Jesus Christ, declare and swear that His Holiness the Pope, is Christ's Vice-regent; and is the true and only head of the Catholic Church or Universal Church throughout the earth; and by that virtue of the keys of binding and losing, given his Holiness by the Savior, Jesus Christ, he hath power to dispose heretical kings, princes, states, commonwealths, and governments, all being illegal with the his sacred confirmation, and that they man be safely destroyed."
"I do further declare, that I will help and assist and advise all or any of his Holiness' agents in any place wherever I shall be,j and do my utmost to extirpate {to root out] the heretical Protestant or Liberal; doctrines and to destroy all their pretended powers, legal or otherwise.:
"I do further promise and declare, that notwithstanding I am dispensed with to assume any religion heretical, for the propagating of the Mother Church's interests, to keep secret and provide all her agent's counsels, from time to time as they may instruct me, not to divulge directly or indirectly, by word, by writing or circumstances whatever, but to execute all that shall be proposed given in charge, or discovered, unto me, my ghostly Father.... "
"I do further promise and declare, that I will have no opinion or will of my own, or any mental reservations whatever, even as a corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver) but unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive from my superiors in the Militia of the Pope and Jesus Christ."
"That I will go to any part of the world, whatsoever, without murmuring and will be submissive in all things whatsoever communicated too me. ... I do further promise and declare, that I will, when the opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do to extirpate and exterminate them form the face of the whole earth,k and that I will spare neither sex, age nor condition and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants' heads against the wall, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race."
"That when the same can not be done openly, I will secretly use the poison cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity or authority of the person or persons whatsoever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed to do so by any agent of the Pope or superior of the Brother hood of the Holy Faith of the Society of Jesus!"
With friends such as these, Jesus is in no need of enemies right? So tell me again just how HOLY you think the Popes are? I TOO, AM A HERETIC IN THEIR EYES!
This St. Francis Xavier? Well he went to India and there he found many Christians,[ GEO Spanish colony, now Bombay] keeping the sabbath, he brought in the Inquisition crews killed them all ! This is the SAINTS, Benedict speaks of? Hate to think what the devil will do if this is his saint!{ The present Pope is a Jesuit!}
There are still a few Protestants who believe that Christ is the foundation of faith, but for this system it the Church instead of Christ, as their foundation! They are spoken off.....
Revelation 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."
Benedict goes on to say: "This ecclesiastical characteristics, so specific to the society of Jesus, lives on in you,j and your apostolic activities, dear Jesuits, so that you many faithfully meet the urgent needs of the church today"
Note: Just exactly what part of the Jesuit Oath of Induction can Jesus agree with? None of it!! However, what did he consider the urgent needs of the church, I'd like to learn and study this, Y O U?
SUBJECT: ECUMENISM: REPORTS FROM THE CROSSWALK DEC.1. 2007
THE POPE CALL CHRISTIAN DIVISIONS A "SCANDAL".[OR is it MY or the Flames, question?]
Pope calls Christian Divisions a "Scandal." The Christian Post reports that Pope Benedict XVI called the divisions among Christians a Scandal to the world", at a joint ceremony Thursday with the spiritual leader of the Orthodox Christian Church, which split from Catholicism nearly a 1,000 years ago. Benedict has made a priority in his papacy of reaching our to the 250 million-strong Orthodox Christians. After joining Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I to mark the feast day of St.Andrew, the Pope said, "The divisions which exist among Christians are a scandal to the world." CONT:
NOTE: (JB) that is true, for Rome claims some 40,000 "Christian?" denominations on earth, BUT all come from ONE Word, One God and ONE Savior! Thus it is men who put their personal twists on the God's Word! The Prime reason for the why. . . .of the split nearly 1,000 years ago, is that Rome put aside the Bible and the Orthodox did not!
Cont: "Christians should "Renew Europe's awareness of its Christian roots, traditions and values, giving them new vitality." Benedict and Bartholomew together stressed the to :Preserve Christian roots" in European culture while remaining "Open to other religions and their cultural contributions." Over the remainder of his stay in Turkey, Benedict is expected to sharpen his calls for what the Vatican calls "Reciprocity"-- that Muslims demands for greater respect in the west, must be matched by increased tolerance and freedoms for Christians in Islamic nations."
Note: That speech was in December 2007, what's been happening in the Middle East since 2013? Islamic terrorists, are doing what Rome used to do during all the dark Ages, mass murders!
John 16:2 "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service."
Note: all this from both Rome and Islam, think that he doeth God service? God is a Creator not a destroyer, unless one warrants, His judgemental wrath! Men seem to have this passion of "Doing it all MY WAY"!
2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
Both smiling, from ear to ear, while raising joined hands for the photographers! In the end there shall be but one, World leader of the church The Pope! They both even kissed each other on the mouth, to seal their pact.
Ecumenism equals tolerance, in errors, and embraces occultism, New Age, is very Positive,Potter's magic is A OK by the Vatican! In fact ALL of earth's religions are good, and should be embraced, by all peoples! Where does all this NEW STUFF leave the Holy Bible? Why out in the cold, that where, Tradition trump it! So under the New World Order, 's Ecumenism will be a Worldly Religion Stew Pot! Filled with errors and out-right lies!
Revelation 14:12 " Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
By now Y O U know that Rome ignores the 2nd Commandment as she has images and idols in every church plus she has changed the day of the Sabbath from the Seventh day to the first day of the week, but as most know there's 10 she cleverly (/) split the 10th into two parts! Why any would turn to her for salvation, is totally Biblical illiterate! That brings to mind two passages:...
Matthew 7:18-23 "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Revelation 22:11 " He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."
Note: At that point in time, our Probation is closed, and Judgment, begins, just before Christ's Return! Therefore Let NO MAN deceive you by any means![Matt.24:4] IF YOU THINK WE ARE PULLING YOUR LEG...READ ON-------
Theosophical Societies' open letter to ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY (Church of England]
Note: [this letter was written in 1887 and this society worships Satan!]
LUCIFER TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY, GREETING!
"MY LORD PRIMATE OF ALL ENGLAND,-- We make use of an open letter to you your Grace as a vehicle to convey to you, and through you, to the clergy to their flocks, and to Christians generally---who regard us as the enemies of Christ-- a brief statement of the position which Theosophy occupies in regard to Christianity, as we believe that the time for making that statement has arrived;
Your Grace is no doubt aware that theosophy is not a religion, but a philosophy at once religious and scientific; and that the chief work, so far, of the Theosophical Society has been to revive in each religion its own animating spirit, by encouraging and helping enquiry into the true significance of its doctrines and observances, Theosophists know that the deeper one penetrates into the meaning of dogmas and ceremonies of all religions, the greater becomes their apparent underlying similarity. until finally a perception of their fundamental unity is reached. This common ground is no other than theosophy--- the Secret Doctrine of the Ages; which diluted and disguised to suit the capacity of the multitude, and the requirements of the time, has formed the living kernel of all religions."
H.P. Blavatsky. {Lucifer, Vol 1, No. 4, December 1887, pp, 242-251.
Note: How is that for a SEMI_LOAD of used food? What has Hinduism have in common with the Bible? NOTHING! However Blavatsky used this heifer dust to become infamous and well of financially! Just as the writers of the Left Behind books and movies!, that are non Biblical!
QUESTION: What has Christ got in common with Satan? The same as day has in common with night, or light vs dark.
The DUTCH REFORMED CHURCH OF S. AFRICA. [PRESBYTERIANISM! ] (NGK) 15 June 2007.
NGK KERK (Church) to check if Satan exists and accepts gay Pastors with conditions.
"A proposed decision on "Spiritual warfare and deliverance" [casting out evil spirits] was referred by the NGK';s General Synod meeting on Tuesday for further investigation, because a number of delegates felt that such a policy would literally deny the existence of the devil. In terms of the policy proposal the church would distance itself from "certain spectacular" forms of deliverance, including lengthy confrontational discussions with devils and the idea that people can become possessed.
Many delegates were upset that a report intended to underscore the policy, stated that evil could rather be seen as an internalised part of humankind, or as part of unjust social structures, rather than as a supernatural being."
Note: Exactly when was the LAST TIME anyone in this church actually read any part of the Bible? After the words Satan appears 15 in OT and 34 NT and the word devil is used 57 times in New Testament KJV.So one has to deliberately avoid reading about this fallen angel!
From a very Prominent Theologian Professor Wolmarans speaking to the Theosophical Society:
This PhD is one of many who teach people to become minister in Seminary schools!
" I am glad that i am to speak to you, this Theosophical Society, and i am grate full for the information you have gathered and shared, it saves us from reinventing the wheel yes? He spoke of the Gnostic Gospels and the gospel of Thomas "The Gnostic Wisdom of Jesus". [This stuff first came to light in latter parts of the first and second centuries, and none have made Canon Or part of the Bible!]
'It has already been said, centuries ago, and we repeat it today, so what?"
As Walter Veith reminisced, that his now deceased Father-in-law, was an very important man in Occult, He and his wife went to home of in-laws contact, and under her maiden name was received well, and given many books and letters, as the fellow was fooled into thinking that she, wanted to carry one after her father's work. Well long story short, they both learned that this Blavatsky and Occult stuff is being taught in most of the Protestant seminary schools, and that in order to receive one;s diploma, one has to search and find a "NEW" truth! {Ever wondered how we got 43,000 "Christian" denominations? Stop wondering, as most have come to be since 1900's}
PR- inside.com News and Free RP. The Vatican repeats other Christian denominations are not true churches. AP; 2007-07--10
"Lorenzago DI CADORE, Italy {AP} For the second time in a week, Pope Benedict XVI has corrected what he says are erroneous interpretations of the second Vatican Council, reasserting the primacy of the Roman catholic Church ans saying that other Christian communities were either defective or not true churches. Benedict approved a document released Tuesday from his old office, the Congregation for the Doctrine of faith, which repeated church teaching on Catholic relations with other Christians.

Churches back plan to unite under Pope: By Ruth Gledhill, Religion correspondent:
"Radical proposals to reunite Anglicans with the Roman Catholic church under the leadership of the Pope are to be published this year, The times has learnt. The proposals have been agreed to by senior Bishops of both churches.
In a 42 Page statement prepared by an international commission of both churches, Anglicans and Roman Catholics are urged to explore how they might reunite under the Pope!
Gratin, wrote about 100, years ago, Rome shall find a way to re-attach her chains to England! {Part 2}The Archbishop of Canterbury, knelt down before Pope John, and in full subservience kisses the Papal ring, at that time! St Paul's Cathedral, has now been totally transformed to look like a small St. Peters' of Rome including all the occult signs within! Most recognize it not!
"Rome makes no secret of her object: it is to reunite England to Latin Christendom by reestablishing the papal supremacy here. "If England is ever to be re-united to Christendom," says Cardinal Manning, "it is by submission to the living authority of the vicar of Jesus Christ. The first step of its return must be by obedience to his voice, as rebellion against his authority was the first step of its departure"

Sorry England, but it's a "done deal"! Germany and the Lutherans, your next, and by this date 2015 its also a done deal, as a newspaper's head line asks, " Pope please forgive Luther!" In a world-wide leaders meeting of Lutheran leaders meeting the Pope Benedict "The Lutheran World Federation OEA- LWF President meets Pope Benedict XVI
Remember this "The bigger the Cross the smaller the faith, the smaller the cross the bigger the faith? " Because it's all on the outside, for public display!
This gathering's Picture was also in the correct colors, the Pope in white everyone else in Black!
The President of the Lutheran World Federation {LWF} Bishop Mark S. Hanson, has commended Pope Benedict XVI for his personal involvement in the Lutheran-Roman Catholic Joint declaration on the doctrine of Justification.
"we are aware of how you yourself, with the support of Pope John Paul II, actively contributed to the fulfillment of this ecumenical landmark." Hanson said in his greeting during an audience with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI today. Hanson, presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) led an LWF delegation in the Federation's first private audience with the currant Pope.
WORLD ALLIANCE of REFORMED CHURCHES (WARC) 9-01- 2006.
WARC'S Leadership have called for a new era of partnership on justice issues in their first meeting with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican on Jan 7th. 2006
"
We are eager during our visit here at the Vatican to pursue with you how Catholic and Reformed Christians might be in partnership together for god's justice in a world wracked by poverty, war, ecological destruction and the denial of human freedom." Clifton Kirkpatrick, President of WARC, told the pontiff.
Yes? Just like it was during the whole of the Dark Ages? There were all of the above plus a large does of religious Persecutions to boot! So what was the Reformation all about? Did all those points of contention get removed?
NO!
All of them are still there, right now!
However prophecy MUST and SHALL come to pass, as written!
Matthew 24:24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
Note: Please remember, Pope Leo XIII Th statement found i n the Catholic National, July , 1895. "The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he IS. . . . Jesus Christ Himself,. . . hidden under veil of flesh."
Revelation 13:18 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

Please know, Satan is an angel, although a fallen one, nevertheless a supernatural being, the Popes are men thus "the number of a man"!
Note: are you dear reader, beginning to see why we say the Bible is its own interpreter, proving itself within itself? Its own Expositor!
It IS NOT, about any Church, any man nor men it IS ALL about the centrality of Christ and HIS Salvation gift to us! If it was truly all about this Roman church, then Christ needed not to have died to purchase our salvation from sin, right?
Getting back to the points made by WARC about human freedoms and ecological mess, that NOT RELIGION, THAT'S HUMANISM! THIS DUPES US, AND ROBS US ALL OF CHRIST!
Our EPISCOPAL FRIENDS SAY WHAT?
VERTUEONLINE:
The House of deputies of the 75th General convention of the Episcopal Church today overwhelmingly refused to even consider a resolution that affirmed Jesus Christ as the "Only name by which any person many be saved".
Where are we going?
Acts 4:10-12 " Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
NOTE: Do the above passages give any hint, that any man , or men or church, is able to extend salvation to Y O U? However this was not a unanimous vote:
The Rev. McDowell explained... "To place a statement of belief over actions is the essence of "Self-Righteousness." he said. "On top of leaving the Anglican Communion, we've decided to leave Jesus Christ behind as well."
"This clearly shows that we are of a mind that does not affirm Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. And we should not be surprises that our church is dying spiritually" said Dr. Michael Howell.
Vote Results? 70.5% for discharge and 29.5% to consider the resolution affirming Jesus Christ as Lord.
That's 75% or 3 in 4 priest and church leaders refused to even consider the reaffirming Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord! Still wonder why Christianity is dying, when these are its leaders? With friends as these Christ needs no enemies, agree?
METHODISTS: Seoul, Korea 7/20/ 2006 ADP.
His Eminence Sunday Mbang , World Methodist Council (WMC) chairperson at the opening session.
"Methodist to Affirm Roman catholic Theology on Justification".
"o7/21/06. World Methodists have unanimously approved a resolution authorizing further dialog with the Roman catholic Church, with the aim of "Full communion in faith, mission and sacramental life," writes Joan G. Labarr for UMNS from South Korea.
" The resolution was adopted when the World Methodist Council's 500 member governing body met from 18-19 July 2006 in the historic Chung Dong First Methodist Church in Seoul, the first Protestant church established in Korean soil.
Note: So now that little wafer of bread, that as per Catholicism, becomes in hands of their priests, the actual living body of Jesus Christ to be sacrificed over and over at each and every Mass, which is but a stage production with out anything from the Bible being taught, as our "Bread"?
How many people have died, horrific deaths, to give YOU, the right to own a Bible of your choice? Now all these many organized denominations are so eager to give up this right for you, and Y O U say what? NOTHING? Ever heard this? "When they came after the Jews, did and said nothing for I am not a Jew? Then they came after the gays, the gypsies, and many others, but I was not sought so I said nothing, Then they came after me, and there were none left to come to may defense!"
Are Y O U sure you want to be the "Last one standing"?
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO ASK THIS QUESTION" "IS THIS OUTDATED"?
"The Pope takes place of Jesus Christ on earth.. by divine right the Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and every pastor and his flock He is the true vicar, the head of the entire church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils; the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one, god himself on earth" Quoted in the New York Catechism.
Wow! there's no loss of self-esteem shown above right? That means the Pope is the judge of every one o n earth and in heaven as well! With this big a head how did they find a miter hat to fit him?
We must first listen to what they say, and then what they do, right? www.Zenit.org
The World Seen From Rome: Vatican City, 3/ 8/2007 (Zenit.org) Already in the first century, popes exercised their primacy over other Christian Churches Benedict XVI says.
The Holy Father explained this on Wednesday as the general audience, which he dedicated to Pope St. Clement of Rome, the Third successor of Peter! {Book chapter and verse please}
St. Clement's letter clarifies the distinction between hierarchy and laity.
"The clear distinction between the "lay people" and hierarchy does not mean, in any way a contra position but only the organic connection of a body, of an organism with different functions" Benedict XCI explained.cont:
Sounds nice to you? But what does it in fact say? Here are we, the ecclesia, thus we are juxtaposed, between man and god, and you can't go to God by your self, even with or in prayers!We are the ones that must do this for you!
John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Now wonder this system puts it's laws and traditions above the Bible, they ignore most of its verses! LIKE THE ONE ABOVE!
CONT" "In fact," Benedict continues, " the church is not a place for confusion and anarchy, where someone can do whatever he he wants at any time time: each one in this organism with an articulated structure practices his ministry to the vocation received"
{Note: is that why homosexuality runs rampant in this organisation?}
" As pertains to the heads of the communities, clement specifies clearly the doctrine of apostolic succession." The Laws that regulate this a derives from God Himself in an ultimate analysis. The Father sent Jesus Christ,, who in turn sent the apostles. These then sent out the first heads of the communities, and established that they would be followed by worthy men.The Church is above all a gift of
God and not a creature of ours" the Pope contends. " and therefore this sacramental structure not only guarantees the common order but also the precedence of the gift of god that we all need."
NOTE: So what is HE and all the Popes, to you and me?
Well, in his own words HE is the gift of God to us! NOW don't you feel much better knowing that? To bad his predecessors did what they did but then please read this....
Ecclesiastes 1:9 "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."
Revelation 13:15-18 "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
Good grief, just how far will this Little Horn beast go? This his speech to the members of the Episcopal Conference of Portugal on their "AD LIMINA " Visit 10th November 2007.
"It is a great joy for me to receive you today in the House of Peter, who by the grace of God are solid pillars of that bridge which you are called to be and to create between humanity and its supreme destiny, the Most Holy Trinity."
The same old battle lines,
We are saved only by the Ecclesia of Rome's church, and not by faith and Christ in God's Grace, but by Rome alone! So all the martyred dead, matters not one whit, NOW can Y O U understand why I say, three entities never change God, Satan and the Little Horn System! All this he said, puts us back into the the year 538 A.D. when The Roman church, took over the civil rule as well, when she uprooted three kingdoms of Dan 7:8,20.
Benedict went on: " It is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me" CONT:
Galatians 2:20 " I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
CONT: A concrete sign of this incarnation is the pouring out of Christ's life which flows forth from me into the lives of others" My God, is there no limits to their conceitedness? "This is because, 'I cannot possess Christ just for myself; I can belong to him only in union with all those who have become, or who will become, his own... We become "one body" completely joined in a single existence (Encyclical Letter DEUS CARITAS EST.} n.14] This "body" of Christ that embraces the humanity of all times and places is the church" {
[VATICAN.VA}
Note: In other words, we are saved ONLY by the Pope and then only as fully Catholic/Universal in belief!
So who needs God and the Bible let alone Jesus Christ, we need only the Pope, according to the Pope! Did he not say that Christ's grace flows from him to the church/priests to you and me! So all we humans need is the Pope! SORRY!...Christ is our ONLY "BRIDGE TO GOD"
Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"
Ephesians 2:9 "Not of works, lest any man should boast."
1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; "
Note: If we negate Jesus, from all things, will we then not be forced to pay the wages os sins by ourselves?
.Are we , those who accept the Holy Bible as the word of God, not now again fighting the very same battle that Huss, was burned alive for, that Luther spent most of his life. living in fear, and that all the Reformers fought for? Is it not time for action, and time to speak out? Speak out against those who claim to have the right to judge what is heresy, and to kill all heretics,, yet they themselves are the very source of true heresy and blasphemy, then and now!
VATICAN SUMMIT: "NO TURNING BACK ON ECUMENICAL JOURNEY."
Pope Benedict meets the General Secretary of World Council of Churches BY Wolfgang Polzer , Special Assist New Service:
Vatican city {ANS} During a summit meeting Pope Benedict XVI and the General Secretary of the world council of churches {WCC), Rev, Samuel Kobia, have pledged to continue the journey in search of Christian Unity. the pontiff received the Kenyan Methodist in the Vatican, June 16. .
The Pope represents more than one billion catholics. The Geneva based WCC is made up of 3457 Protestant, Orthodox and Anglican churches with a total membership of 561 million. The Roman Catholic church is not a member of the WCC, but is represented in Commissions for Faith and Order and World Mission and evangelism.
Note: Who fails to see, that all those 561 millions, will rush back to Rome and cast aside the the legacy that so many millions died to give them their own Bibles, and freedoms from Rome, who Popes where just as the Caesars were? Do Y O U know why Rome is not a member of the WCC? It it run by the Jesuits, who take their order from???? The Popes!
It is over, the reformation is finished according to Rome, because ecumenism is "IRREVERSIBLE!"
ADDRESS of His Holiness Benedict XVI to the Members of the Joint working group between the WWC and the Catholic Church-- Hall of the Popes Friday 25 January 2008:
Dear Friends:
I am pleased to welcome you, the members of the Joint Working Group between the WWC and the Catholic church, as you gather i n Rome to begin a phase of your work.... The world council of churches and the Catholic Church have enjoyed a fruitful ecumenical relationship dating back to the time of the second Vatican council. The Joint Working Group, which began in 1965, has worked assiduously to strengthen the "Dialogue of Life",d which my predecessor, Pope John Paul II, called the "dialogue of charity", (UT UNUM SINT, 17) This cooperation has given vivid expression to the Communion already existing between Christians and has advanced the cause of ecumenical dialogue and understanding>" {Vatican.Va}
Note: OK, so what do we get, when all of earth's many "RELIGIONS" are put together in one big pot of religious stew? How can all this still be worthy of Christ, when a little truth is mixed into a a lot of error?
BC POLITICS: Written by Richard Marcus Published 5/ 03? 2007.
"Well, it's official, most of you might have had your suspicions, but now it's a definite yes! According to the Vatican anybody, THAT IS ANYBODY, who criticizes the pope is now officially now an TERRORIST!
OOPPSS, that must include me! However, thank goodness I have only written what he and they have already said, and what the Bible points to as truth! Of course there was one Pope who called the King James Bible that damnable filth, in the late 1890's! So, therefore, if this is critical criticism of the Popes, it must looked at as self criticism as it came from their mouths.
Participants gather in Pasadena,
California, under the theme" CCT Encounters Luke 4:18 "Is Jesus' Proclamation our proclamation?"
Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"
Feb, 5, 2007 Christian churches together will meet in Pasadena's Lake Avenue church Feb 6-9 2007
"The Leadership of 36 churches and national Christian Organisations will gather at the Pasadena Presbyterian Church for the formation of \Christian Churches together in the USA {CCT}

"
"In cooperation with Fuller Seminary and the southern California Ecumenical Council, CCT invites church leaders and pastors in the greater Pasadena area to join in this celebration and to be present at the reception that follows."
Lets look at the past from H. Gratten Guinness in his work: Romanism and the Reformation 1887. shows clearly that there is no difference between Paganism and that which slowly crept into the idolatrous church supposedly representing Jesus Christ.
Had Paganism its temples and alters, its relics, its pictures and images? So has Rome.
Had Paganism its holy water, and its incense? So has Rome.
Had Paganism its tonsured priest, presided over by a pontifex maximus? So has Rome.
Had Paganism it claim to sacerdotal infallibility? So has Popery
Had Paganism its gods carried in procession? So has Rome
Had Paganism its college of pontiffs? So has Rome its college of Cardinals
Has Paganism its religious orders? So has Rome.
Has Paganism its costly robes, it Queen of Heaven, its rural shrines and processions? So has Rome.
Has .Paganism its pretended miracles and weeping statues? So has Rome
Had Paganism its canonization of saints as in the deification of the dead Caesars? So has Rome
Has Paganism its idolatrous calendar and festivals? So has Rome
Had Paganism its celibacy, mystic signs, relics, cruel persecutions of those who stand for truth and righteousness? So has Rome.
Note: What if anything has changed within Rome? Not a thing!
IBID:
"I would warn you against this evil that is pervading the world anew today-- working in and amongst the Reformed churches covered by a veil of righteousness. Wherever you see ritualism or higher criticism, shun it.Wherever you see a priest instead of preacher, an alter instead of a communion table, wax candles instead of the sunshine of God's love, ceremony instead of sound doctrine, sacraments instead of saving grace, liturgies instead of earnest prayer, splendid music instead of spiritual worship, gorgeous vestments instead of Gospel truth, tradition instead of "It is written", crossings instead of Christ, there you have Romanism no matter what it is called, no matter how attractive the architecture the music the solemn ceremonial. SHUN IT!.
NOTE: When its within 96% of Christendom, its difficult to SHUN IT, but there still Churches that follow "It is Written" as written, and place Christ in the forefront, and central focus.
Speaking of costly robes...
Revelation 17:4-5 "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Note: Is it not rue, that Rome call herself "The Mother Church"? YES, thus since the 1960's she has been working tirelessly in order to bring her "Daughters"... "HOME". Please know Biblical Harlotry is seeking other gods and other worship methods beyond the Bible!
Should this be needed to be repeated over and over?
Revelation 18:4-6 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double"
.Jude 1:24-25 " Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."
Please, PLEASE,allow no one to rob Christ, of His Glory, of His gift of salvation, and let none rob Him of His mediation powers and position between humanity and our Heaven Father-God! Let no one rob Him of His Sacrifice, nor of His advocacy.
He paid far to great a price, so let none rob Christ, of anything that is His, given to Him by the Father!
The time to be silent has passed, the time to speak is now, the time to chose Christ over men is NOW!
May the Creator-God chose to bless both thee and thine.
