Surprise, Surprise.

I found myself this past Sunday listening to my pastor, from the pulpit, saying that he had several ‘on fire’ Catholic ‘Christian’ friends. He went on to say that his friends felt called to the Catholic Church. Consider the following portion of scripture for a clear understanding of how we are to live:2 Corinthians 6:14-17 In a time when we should be exposing the lie that is the Catholic Church, my pastor is in essence giving the Catholic Church a place of acceptance. Should a convert from Islam continue to attend their mosk or a Buddhist his temple in order to reach his friend. No.
My pastor did say that religion would not save you and it is only through Jesus. The unfortunate thing about his statement is that Catholics will say the same thing. There is an intentional deception in the Catholic Church that says, we share Jesus with the non-Catholic churches. They will say that Jesus is the only way, but their theology, doctrines, dogmas, and actual practice and beliefs tell a different story. Catholics do not hold that regeneration/salvation/justification is by faith alone, from Jesus alone, through His grace alone. This is the truth of the Gospel. All other gound is sinking sand.
Church, wake up, and hold your pastors accountable to the truth of the Gospel. The truth is the Roman Catholic Church is a massive mission field. Over 1 Billion (yes, that’s B) people in the world claim to be Catholics. For many in our churches today Catholics are considered brothers and sisters in Christ rather than people lost and in need of a Savior. It’s not a matter of love. What greater love can we express than to share the truth with those who don’t have it?
I am pleading with the church, understand that Catholics need the truth just as much as the Hindu, the Mormon, the Buddhist, the Muslim, and all other lost souls who live without Jesus and a life seperated unto Him.

Dear Brother,
Greetings from Ireland the land where the majority are caught in the deceptio n of Rome.
We need to distinguish between genuine seekers of Christ, who are in the Roman Church by tradition and the system that is that church. True seekers will be found by Christ and the Holy Spirit will lead them into all truth and that truth will set them free from all the abominations of the RC system.
Pastors and elders who teach that they stay there are like as if Moses where to say to the Israelites, ” hey we are free now, but let us stay in Egypt, because there are otehr slaves here who need us”. The plan of God is to take them away from the false.
I will be praying for you and your church
