Over 500 years ago the Catholic Church pressured the common people to buy pieces of paper that ‘guaranteed’ forgiveness for their dead relatives and deliverance from purgatory (hell).

The church (the pope) utilized this scheme to fund another cathedral.

Thank God for Martin Luther, a Catholic priest, for exposing this evil, and it stopped.

Or did it ?

– – –

The Catholic Church changed only just enough to avoid total, widespread revolution.

Their fundamental teachings and practices remain intact, even today.

– – –

Faithful Catholics go to mass blindly with mostly meaningless rituals, give lots of money to fund and maintain the elaborate superstructure, and receive the church’s word that they are right with God, from the cradle to the grave, literally.

– – –

Indulgences—from day one, continued today, without the piece of paper—called last rites.

Forgiveness for the dead, pronounced by authority of the Catholic Church, unbiblical, unabated.

What about the other churches of today?

How many churches give people false hope, false assurance of heaven, by the words spoken to them from the leader, and by words spoken over them from their first days in the cradle, to their last day, in the casket.

Every baby celebration in the church and every funeral in the church must be an opportunity to tell everyone present of their need for forgiveness from Jesus—the only way for assurance of heaven.

TRUTH ON THE SCAFFOLD

NO BETTER

Rick Warren (labeled ‘America’s Pastor’) took the American church by storm with his runaway bestseller, THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE.

Very few criticisms, if any.

And his church is the biggest in the Southern Baptist denomination.

I had reservations then, but he did include a lot of Bible verses.

Now, sadly, truth comes out, and reality crashes in all over the American church, including Rick Warren.

So many churches, leaders, ‘Christians’ are wavering and compromising with the culture in the country and the “reset” goal around the globe.

Five minutes ago I heard a quote on American Family Radio (afr.net) on the program “Understanding The Times.”

“Globalism will only be possible if the American church goes along with it.”

Rick Warren said that at a recent meeting of the World Economic Forum—a speaker by invitation—a group organizing one-world government—a goal with one obstacle in their path, the Christian church.

All I have to offer in return is this Bible verse:

“Whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”
