GRAHAM & SHULLER PROCLAIM JESUS UN-NECESSARY!

Greetings everyone in these last days.

We are all witnessing with our very eyes what the Prophets of old could only
dream about or see in visions. Every single day on this sin drenched orb we
see prophetic fulfillments that reveal the urgency of the times we live in.
The Beast that is prophesied almost daily steps forward to openly proclaim
his disgust for the very Lord we claim as Saviour as well as the Word He
wrote as our eternally cherished treasure map. Look here at the most recent
bold proclamation of the one called Pope...

> The Century Now Beginning Ought to Be the Century of Solidarity

"Since we have just crossed the threshold of a new year, the Vicar of Christ
strongly desires to offer to the peoples whom you represent his prayerful
good wishes for this Year 2000 which so many have welcomed in
jubilation." -Pope John Paul II to Diplomatic Corps Accredited to Vatican,
January 10, 2000

This article doesn't strike me as of any importance and that is why I
snipped it rather quick. What does strike me of great importance here is the
open admission of the Pope. In the beginning of his "reign" this Pope
declared that he would NEVER place the miter upon his head. He had
reservations as to the words "Vicarius Filli Dei" (Vicar of Christ) that are
placed upon the head of those that wear the miter. Yet we see here that not
only has he placed this fish head of the false god Dagon (Judges 16; 1Sam 5;
1Chron 10) upon his own head. He has also openly proclaimed himself the
"vicar" of Christ Jesus! Let me explain...

The Vicar of Christ is actually "Vicarius Christos" in the Roman tongue of
Latin. Vicarius = SUBSTITUTE (Oxford Dictionary). Anti = opposite,
substitute (Strong's Concordance). So then, the Latin name Vicarius Christos
can be transliterated as the Greek, Antichristos, or, Anti-Christ. So openly
and so often do the Popes of Rome proclaim themselves the ANTI of Christ
Jesus. How many times have we seen the Documented Catholic Dogmatic
statements of the Popes proclaiming themselves god's on earth?
(prophet.htm) And how many times have
their dogmatic acts proven they believe as such? It amazes me how the dear
Catholic people choose to ignore so many open and easily proven Biblical
facts concerning their Popes and the evils they perform with such Biblical
laxity. Almost daily their Pope struts up to proclaim his lies unto them and
they blindly believe it ALL hook line and sinker simply because 'he' said
it! It's almost as if Satan himself is standing before the throne of God
shouting unto Him, "LOOK HERE GOD!! I HAVE THEM BELIEVING ALL THAT I PREACH EVEN THOUGH YOUR SCRIPTURES PROVE IT ALL AS LIES!!" It's heart wrenching to stand by and see so many dear Catholics being hornswaggled all the way to the fires of hell simply because they prefer the lies over the easily researched Truths of Scriptures! It's no wonder the Devil has proclaimed via the Popes all throughout History that the Bible is a lesser book! Notice these disgusting documented facts...

"The Bible does not contain all the teaching of the Christian religion, nor
does it formulate all the duties of its members." (The Faith of Millions,
pp. 153-154).

Easily the Scriptures prove this AntiChristian teaching in, 2 Peter 1:3 -
"For indeed his divine power has granted us all things pertaining to life
and piety..."

"Now the Scriptures alone do not contain all the truths which a Christian is
bound to believe, nor do they explicitly enjoin all the duties which he is
obliged to practice." (The Faith of Our Fathers, p. 72)

Easily the Scriptures prove this AntiChristian teaching in, Acts 1:1 "...I
have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach."

"They do not contain all the truths necessary for salvation." (The Faith of
Our Fathers, p. 73).

Easily the Scriptures prove this AntiChristian teaching in, John 20:31 -
"These are written that you may believe...and that believing you many have
life in his name."

"Can you learn to save your soul just by reading the Bible? No...because the
Bible does not have everything God taught." (A Catechism for Adults, Q. 1,
p. 52).

Easily the Scriptures prove this AntiChristian teaching in, 2 Timothy 3:15 -
"For from thy infancy thou has known the Sacred Writings, which are able to
instruct thee unto salvation..."

"I find that in no way are the teachings of the scriptures complete." (I
Believe, p. 148).
"...Nor do they explicitly enjoin all the duties which he is obliged to
practice." (The Faith of Our Fathers, p. 72)

Easily the Scriptures prove this AntiChristian teaching in, 2 Timothy
3:16-17 - "All Scriptures is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for
reproving, for correcting, for instructing in justice, that the man of God
may be perfect, equipped for every good work."

Rather bluntly proves the Pope a liar eh? Then WHY are so many Catholics
STILL embracing his lies? What's the main reason? Are you ready for this
one? Are you sitting down? IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU AND ME!!! Most Catholics are
unaware of what's going on in their Church because of those of us who know
don't tell them. Most of them are unaware of how easily the Scriptures of
God Almighty PROVES their Popes as the Beast and their Priests liars. Many
of the Catholics don't open their Bibles because the Devil has effectively
convinced them that it's a "dead letter." It is OUR JOB to inform them
people. It is OUR JOB to go forth and proclaim the TRUTH that is in the
Scriptures! It is OUR JOB to tell them that which the Holy Spirit has told
us! It is OUR JOB to preach the Gospel as well as the prophetic warnings!
"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how
shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they
hear without a preacher?" -Romans 10:14, The Catholic people have NOT been
taught the TRUE Jesus of the Scriptures by their leaders. They have fallen
for "another Jesus" even though Scriptures WARNED them this would occur. Why
don't they heed the warning?

2 Corinthians 11:3-4, "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from
the simplicity that is in Christ.  For if he that cometh preacheth another
Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye
have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might
well bear with him."

Because they have chosen to bear with the liar. Why are they bearing with
the Popes instead of the True Jesus Christ of Scripture? And why are WE not
fearing for them? Why are we standing idly by allowing them to continue on
in their frantic pace to Hell? Are we all prepared to stand before the Lord
knowing full well He has given us ample tools by which to warn them with yet
decided not to? Are we going to bury that which He has given us as did the
man with the single talent in Matthew 25? Don't we want to cultivate that
which the Creator of the Universe GAVE to us? Think about that. WE are the
only ones He gave these Prophetic Truths to. What are we afraid of people?
Do you fear doing good? Do you fear gaining Heaven? Do you fear a loving
God? For if this is so, He shall proclaim, "For unto every one that hath
shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not
shall be taken away even that which he hath.  And cast ye the unprofitable
servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth." -Matthew 25:29-30

It is our duty to warn them that are in danger. We are to be watchmen on the
wall. The Remnant church was NOT called to only preach the Gospel of Christ.
Our calling is a special one indeed. We have been called like no other
church on Earth has been called. We have been called to proclaim the Three
Angels message of Revelation as well! Yet, many of us have forgotten this.
What good does it serve to proclaim yourself a Commandment keeping Christian
when no man knows of the Truths you embrace or the peace your heart feels in
doing so? And what good does the "Testimony of Jesus Christ" serve in one
who does not proclaim the prophecies so graphically opened unto them? Are we
not the Remnant? Do we not claim to be so? If so, WHY do we stand by and
ignore the MAIN REASON we were formed as a church body? TELL THEM WHAT YOU
KNOW! Who cares if they slander you? It's confirmation when they do! Who
cares if they hate you? It's confirmation when they do! Who cares when they
persecute you? It's confirmation when they do! And who cares when they kill
you? "...fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the
soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in
hell." -Matthew 10:28,

Rest assured people. If we choose to ignore that which is happening before
our eyes we will eventually join with the cause of Hell. Don't believe me?
Look at ALL the churches that are joining in the Pope's One World Church.
Just as prophecy stated Antichrist would build, the Pope is building it!
THAT my friends is the perfection of Prophecy! Anyone can "Preach" like
Jesus Christ! Anyone can even walk on water as He did! And anyone can heal
the sick as did Jesus Christ. But NO ONE can prophecy with such 100%
accuracy as our King Jeuss! NO ONE! (Why not spend an afternoon surfing the
web using the words, "ecumenical movement" and see just how many different
churches are joining together!) What of another prophjecy that ONLY the
Remnant Church is preaching. We have been preaching that Rome was going to
enforce laws upon the people of the World to keep SUNday as the Sabbath
instead of the Seventh day. For over 100 YEARS we have preached this message
and now we see that in July of 1998 the Pope put forth his letter, "Dios
Domini" demanding legislation be put forth to enforce such laws. This is
what prompted me to write this tract...
(mark.htm) Also notice WHEN he snuck that
prophetic attack upon the American people. EXACTLY when the USA was going
through the sewage filled heart of the Lewinski matter. I repeat, Rest
assured people. If we choose to ignore that which is happening before our
eyes we will eventually join with the cause of Hell. Notice who else is now
joining with Rome. Billy Graham has been slowly but surely doing so since a
meeting he had with Vatican officials on Jan 8-13, 1990. Look at what he
spews thanks to his growing "friendship" with the Beast of Rome...

> BILLY GRAHAM CITES POPE AS MAN OF THE CENTURY

NEW YORK, DEC 20 (ZENIT).- Television evangelist Billy Graham says that he
thinks the man of the century might be Pope John Paul II. In an interview
with the Associated Press, he stated that John Paul "has brought the
greatest impact of any Pope in the last 200 years." He continued by saying,
"I admire his courage, determination, intellectual abilities, and his
understanding of Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox differences, and the
attempt at some form of reconciliation." ZE99122020

It wasn't always this way with Graham, there was a time when Billy Graham
was not so accepting of the evils of Catholicism. In fact, in the 1950's,
Catholic bishops ordered priests to warn their parishioners against
attending any of Graham's crusades for fear they would be proselytized into
Protestant churches. In 1960, Billy Graham actually led a movement of
evangelical leaders to try and stop John F. Kennedy from becoming president.
This of course started a wide spread fear to advance among Protestants that
the Pope's hand would be on Kennedy's shoulder. And why was this a cause for
concern in Protestant Churches? It's simple, they KNEW what the church of
Rome is capable of...

" That the church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other
institution that has ever existed among mankind, will be questioned by no
Protestant who has a competent knowledge of history...It is impossible to
form a complete conception of the multitude of her victims, and its quite
certain that no powers of imagination can adequately realize the
sufferings." -W.E.H. Lecky, History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism
in Europe, vol.2, pg.32, 1910 edition.

"...it is estimated...an average of more than 40,000 religious murders for
every year of the existence of popery." -John Dowling, The History of
Romanism, pp.541-542.

"For professing faith contrary to the teachings of the Church of Rome,
History records the martyrdom of more than one hundred million people. A
million Waldenses and Albigenses (Swiss and French Protestants) perished
during a crusade proclaimed by Pope Innocent III in 1208. Beginning from the
establishment of the Jesuits in 1540 to 1580, nine hundred thousand were
destroyed. One hundred and fifty thousand perished by the Inquisition in
thirty years. Within the space of thirty-eight years after the edict of
Charles V against the Protestants, fifty thousand persons were hanged,
beheaded or burned alive for heresy. Eighteen thousand more perished during
the administration of the Duke of Alva in five and half years." -Brief Bible
Readings, pg.16.

"There was no village of the Vaudois valleys but had its martyrs. The
Waldenses were burned; they were cast into damp and horrid dungeons; they
were smothered in crowds in mountain caverns, mothers and babes, and old men
and women together; they were sent out into exile in the winter night,
unclothed and unfed, to climb the snowy mountains; they were hurled over the
rocks; their houses and lands were taken from them; their children were
stolen to be indoctrinated with the religion which they abhorred. Rapacious
individuals were sent among them to strip them of their property, to
persecute and exterminate them. Thousands of heretics" or Waldenses, "old
men, women and children, were hung, quartered, broken upon the wheel, or bur
ned alive and their property confiscated for the benefit of the king, and
Holy See." -Thompson - The Papacy and the Civil Power

"On August 24, 1527, Roman Catholics in France, by prearranged plan, under
Jesuit influence, murdered 70,000 Protestants within the space of two
months. The Pope rejoiced when he heard the news of the successful
outcome." -Western Watchman, Nov.21, 1912 (Catholic)

The Pope rejoiced? Understand that it was a different time back then
friends. The Roman Church was considered the MAIN church by most of the
civilized world. Therefore, to make such a public statement by the Pope in
regards to the murder of 70,000 was accepted by the masses. Keep in mind ,
the Pope and everyone else THOUGHT these 'annoying' Protestants would soon
be done away with. The Catholic people also thought it was the right thing
to do because their leader encouraged it. And yes, Jesus DID see this as
well in 100% accuracy...

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."

Everyone thought the Pope was doing a great work ridding the World of this
"Heathen" element the Scriptures prophetically define as TRUE Christians.
All the Catholics were suckered into believing it was ok to torture and kill
those that would not conform to their idea of worship. Imagine that. If you
refuse to believe in the Jesus the 'Prince of peace' THEY WOULD KILL YOU!
And now we see Billy Graham honoring the very man that stands as leader of
the very church that has admitted openly to the media that it killed well
over 150 MILLION Christians during its prophetic 1260 year first reign. Not
only that, Billy Graham is now accepting AND PREACHING just as the Pope's
right hand man "Cardinal Francis Arinze" preaches. He is now proclaiming
that "JESUS CHRIST IS NOT NECESSARY FOR SLAVATION!" (By the way, Shuller
AGREES with him as well!) Do you recall the Newsletter I wrote about that?
if not, see it here... nl990513.htm

Now, Notice the simularities in their statements. Notice how Billy Graham,
Robert Shuller, and Cardinal Arinze all seem to be singing the same song
from the same lilly pad...(Read about the Three frogs of Revelation in Rev
16:13)

> BILLY AND POPE

NEWS BRIEF: "Graham Believes Men Can Be Saved Apart From Name Of Christ", by
Robert E. Kofahl, Ph.D., television interview of Billy Graham by Robert
Schuller, on May 31, 1997. The following segment is an exact transcript of
an excerpt close to the end of the broadcast. Reported by The Christian
News, October 20, 1997, page 15.

"SCHULLER: Tell me, what do you think is the future of Christianity?

GRAHAM: Well, Christianity and being a true believer -- you know, I think
there's the Body of Christ. This comes from all the Christian groups around
the world, outside the Christian groups. I think everybody that loves
Christ, or knows Christ, whether they're conscious of it or not, they're
members of the Body of Christ ... I think James answered that, the Apostle
James in the first council in Jerusalem, when he said that God's purpose for
this age is to call out a people for His name. And that's what God is doing
today, He's calling people out of the world for His name, whether they come
from the Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world, or the
non-believing world, they are members of the Body of Christ, because they've
been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus, but they know
in their hearts that they need something that they don't have, and they turn
to the only light that they have, and I think they are saved, and that
they're going to be with us in heaven."

"SCHULLER: What, what I hear you saying, that it's possible for Jesus Christ
to come into human hearts and soul and life, even if they've been born in
darkness and have never had exposure to the Bible. Is that a correct
interpretation of what you're saying?

GRAHAM: Yes, it is, because I believe that. I've met people in various parts
of the world in tribal situations, that they have never seen a Bible or
heard about a Bible, and never heard of Jesus, but they've believed in their
hearts that there was a God, and they've tried to live a life that was quite
apart from the surrounding community in which they lived."

"SCHULLER: [R.S. trips over his tongue for a moment, his face beaming, then
says] I'm so thrilled to hear you say this. There's a wideness in God's
mercy.

GRAHAM: There is. There definitely is."
---------------------------------------------
Now for the sake of "reminding" you all. This is what Cardinal Arinze said
back in March of 99...
---------------------------------------------

> 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)
--------
So, how can Robert Shuller, Billy Graham, and Cardinal Francis Arinze say
that Jesus is not necessary for Salvation? It's easy, when your agenda is to
fill a ONE WORLD CHURCH for the Beast of Revelation. Look at the statements
Graham makes concerning this... "He's calling people out of the world for
His name, whether they come from the Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or
the Christian world, or the non-believing world, they are members of the
Body of Christ" Did you also notice that Cardinal Arinze mentions BUDDHISTS
AND MUSLIMS as well? They are simply doing so because they ar econtrolled by
the same spirit of Antichrist, and he is looking to fill the One World
Church that prophecy declares will be his.
(1wc.htm) Such boldness! Such demonic
arrogance! Such blindness! Such PROOF that Jesus is coming soon!

My challenge to you today is... TELL THEM!!! Tell everyone the Lord sends
your way that the Beast is very active and the signs of the end are upon us!
Don't sit back. Don't become lukewarm. Please, tell them to repent, for the
Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

"It is one thing to invite unconverted Roman Catholics to a gospel meeting
to hear the gospel preached, but it is quite another matter to go to a
meeting where Roman Catholics, and Roman Catholic priests that are still
firmly in Rome, are preaching from the platform." --Christian News, June 26,
1988

"The World Council of Churches, in its implementation of the Vatican II
strategy of creating a universal Celebration service to form the conscience

sees as absolutely crucial an `indispensable continuation' of the liturgical
celebration in all dimensions of life.  Clearly, liturgical celebration is
conceived as being the molder and shaper, the conditioner, of ALL DIMENSIONS
OF HUMAN LIFE.  This is all very interesting in light of Rome's's's policy
of Integralism. `Integralism means that all human life would be integrated,
as John Paul conceives, into a `perfect society' in which laity worked under
the direction of priests and bishops to achieve the `truth' of a life lived
in faith' (People of God, The Struggle for World Catholicism p.29)

> SALT STATUE OF POPE IN HISTORIC MINE

WARSAW, DEC 6 (ZENIT).- The salt mine workers of Wieliczka, near Krakow,
have made a 3.5 meter salt statue of John Paul II. The statue has been
placed in St. Kinga's chapel, 101 meters underground. The monument
represents the Polish Pontiff with his pastoral staff in his left hand
and his right hand raised in greeting.

For the first time this year, the Wieliczka mine, which has been in
operation uninterruptedly for more than 700 years, had more visitors
than usual coming to see the work in the salt mines. It is estimated
that the mine will attract 700,000 tourists, who will be able to move in
the labyrinth of corridors, which are 200 kilometers long and 327 meters
at the point of maximum depth. Since 1978, the Wieliczka salt mine has
been registered as part humanity's cultural heritage, which was
established by UNESCO. ZE99120603

> POPE CALLS FOR UNITED EUROPE

On his recent visit to the Czech republic, Pope John Paul II called for the
unity of Catholics and Protestants and the unification of Europe "through
the acceptance of Christian precepts."  Speaking at an April 27 ecumenical
service in Prague, the pope said: "In charity we can together ask God for
forgiveness and find the courage to pardon one another for the injustices
and mistakes of the past, no matter how serious and offensive they were. We
must bring down the reciprocal barriers of suspicion and distrust so that we
can build a civilization based on love."
The Pope was welcomed to the ecumenical service by Pavel Smetana, leader of
the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren and president of the Ecumenical
Council of Churches in the Czech Republic (Ecumenical News International,
April 28, 1997).

The pope repeated his frequent call for a renewed effort for unity for the
new millennium. He praised the annual worldwide Week of Prayer for Christian
Unity, and said it increased a "yearning for a common Eucharist." (David W.
Cloud, Fundamental Baptist News Service, 1701 Harns Rd., Oak Harbor, WA
