In a statement that startled more than a few apostates, but surprised few real Protestants, Pope Benedict XVI singed off on a document last week that reaffirmed the Roman Catholic Church’s claim to be the only true church. “Other Christian communities are either defective or not true churches,” the Pope said, “and Catholicism provides the only true path to salvation.”
Perhaps proving that no heresy, or insult, is too hard for them to swallow, the Presbyterian Church (USA) is reported to “remain committed to ecumenical dialogue with the Roman Catholic Church.” This in spite of The Roman Catholic Church’s long standing proclamation that all Presbyterians, past and present–forefathers, relations and friends–who may have repented of their sins, and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior, have nonetheless gone to, and are going to, hell; so long as they have been, and remain, outside the RCC.
Such a biting blasphemy and scathing rebuke leveled at the work of the Holy Spirit and the security of the believer can hardly be surpassed except that the PCUSA should go forward and kiss the hand of this antichrist, and to sup at his table of unholy sacraments. Alas, this would not be an entirely new direction for PCUSA.
This is the same Presbyterian Church that in 2004 called for economic boycotts of Israel for the abominable act of erecting fences to keep homicide bombers from blowing up Israeli women and children. At the time, the Presbyterian Church actually countered the Israeli initiative with a suggestion that they build “bridges of peace rather than walls of separation.” At least they are consistent. By accepting this latest term of unconditional surrender to unmistakably join the Mother of Harlots, the PCUSA has shown that it not only loathes the Jews, but it betrays the Protestants of the Reformation, and denies the Lord of glory. This, in itself, would be enough treachery, but they are not alone.
Positioning them selves thus far to join the PCUSA in the falling away (2 Thess. 2:3) include the Lutheran World Federation and the World Alliance of Reformed Churches. The season declares that it will not be long before they join the RCC, and many more former Protestant churches, and several different religions, will follow (some have speculated that the SBC is on the same path). While this is news, it is not new news: the scriptures foretold this two thousand years ago. Astute readers will remember what shortly follows the conclusion of the Apostasy, and know that the time is short.
