We are living at a time
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
when almost
anything can be called Truth.
00:00:02.73\00:00:05.37
Not long ago,
truth was set in stone.
00:00:05.40\00:00:08.50
Now, a change is depending on
what is popular at the moment.
00:00:08.54\00:00:12.34
A personal opinion
now masquerades as truth.
00:00:12.37\00:00:16.51
So, where can we find the truth,
00:00:16.54\00:00:19.71
the whole truth and
nothing but the truth,
00:00:19.75\00:00:22.08
so help us God.
00:00:22.12\00:00:24.02
In this program,
00:00:24.05\00:00:25.55
John Carter
gives us a closer look
00:00:25.59\00:00:28.12
at The Aims of the Papacy.
00:00:28.16\00:00:30.13
Welcome back, my friend.
00:00:41.57\00:00:44.01
Today's topic is
the Aims of the Papacy.
00:00:44.04\00:00:49.41
And I'm talking on this subject
00:00:49.44\00:00:51.08
because I received this
letter from Bob, in California.
00:00:51.11\00:00:56.28
I'm going to
read it to you again
00:00:56.32\00:00:57.69
because I think it's important
so you know where we're going.
00:00:57.72\00:01:01.59
"Hi, John, I hope all is
well with you and Beverley.
00:01:01.62\00:01:05.39
I'm not sure if you've noticed
what is going on in Scotland
00:01:05.43\00:01:08.03
and Europe right now.
00:01:08.06\00:01:10.20
As I write you,
there is a conference
00:01:10.23\00:01:12.00
forming in
Scotland with all the world
00:01:12.03\00:01:13.80
leaders to discuss the climate.
00:01:13.84\00:01:16.54
Pope has stated that he
will attend the conference
00:01:16.57\00:01:19.04
and present his
answer for the climate.
00:01:19.07\00:01:22.11
His proposal is to establish
a worldwide day of rest
00:01:22.14\00:01:26.51
to lower the carbon
emissions, and of course,
00:01:26.55\00:01:29.72
this day wouldn't be Sunday.
00:01:29.75\00:01:32.62
Although this may help
the environment somewhat,
00:01:32.65\00:01:34.99
its real purpose is to get
the world leaders to conform
00:01:35.02\00:01:37.99
with the Catholic
Church and the pope.
00:01:38.03\00:01:41.70
America currently has a leader
00:01:41.73\00:01:43.67
that has no
backbone, and is Catholic."
00:01:43.70\00:01:45.93
Now, let me say this.
00:01:45.97\00:01:49.20
Bob is expressing his viewpoint,
00:01:49.24\00:01:51.31
not the viewpoint
of the Carter Report,
00:01:51.34\00:01:53.68
and not mine and
probably not yours.
00:01:53.71\00:01:57.68
We're not here to
criticize the President
00:01:57.71\00:01:59.38
of the United States.
00:01:59.41\00:02:00.75
He says, "America
currently has a leader
00:02:00.78\00:02:03.02
that has no
backbone, and is Catholic.
00:02:03.05\00:02:07.12
So, he will
certainly bow to the pope
00:02:07.16\00:02:09.22
and is also obligated to
do so because he is Catholic.
00:02:09.26\00:02:14.73
John, could
this be the beginning
00:02:14.76\00:02:17.17
of the mark of the beast?
00:02:17.20\00:02:19.70
How clever would
this be for the pope
00:02:19.73\00:02:21.70
to take this opportunity
to advance his agenda?
00:02:21.74\00:02:25.51
What are your
thoughts about this?
00:02:25.54\00:02:27.11
Bob, in California."
00:02:27.14\00:02:31.31
Now, let me say this so
every person understands
00:02:31.35\00:02:35.18
what I'm trying
to do here today.
00:02:35.22\00:02:38.29
We're not talking
about Roman Catholics.
00:02:38.32\00:02:41.76
People say, "No, we
don't... It's about Catholics."
00:02:41.79\00:02:44.03
No, no, it's not
about Catholics at all.
00:02:44.06\00:02:47.80
We're talking about the papacy
00:02:47.83\00:02:52.43
as a political religious system.
00:02:52.47\00:02:57.31
And as we talk about it,
00:02:57.34\00:02:58.67
we recognize
that the vast majority
00:02:58.71\00:03:01.81
of God's true children are
in the Roman Catholic Church,
00:03:01.84\00:03:05.75
and in some
other churches as well.
00:03:05.78\00:03:08.15
I belong to a church
that's got only about
00:03:08.18\00:03:10.29
23 or 24 million people.
00:03:10.32\00:03:14.46
I'd be very
presumptuous to think
00:03:14.49\00:03:16.62
that all the true
Christians were in my church.
00:03:16.66\00:03:21.36
I've traveled the
world, and I happen to know
00:03:21.40\00:03:24.97
that there are millions
and millions of wonderful
00:03:25.00\00:03:29.57
Roman Catholic
Christians who are saved,
00:03:29.60\00:03:34.18
and who are right with God.
00:03:34.21\00:03:37.35
The Adventist Church,
00:03:37.38\00:03:38.71
the person whom I
believed was a prophet,
00:03:38.75\00:03:40.48
Ellen White, and she said,
00:03:40.52\00:03:42.32
"The vast majority
of God's true people
00:03:42.35\00:03:44.49
are in the Roman Catholic Church
00:03:44.52\00:03:45.85
and the other churches."
00:03:45.89\00:03:47.22
I believe this.
00:03:47.26\00:03:48.62
I believe in
tolerance, I believe in love,
00:03:48.66\00:03:54.33
and I believe in grace.
00:03:54.36\00:03:57.00
"What is the
power of the papacy?"
00:04:00.34\00:04:03.14
The Roman Catholic
Church has got tremendous power.
00:04:06.78\00:04:11.11
I'm talking about
the Roman Catholic Church
00:04:11.15\00:04:13.05
as a political system,
not just as a spiritual power.
00:04:13.08\00:04:18.95
Now, the Vatican
is a state of its own.
00:04:18.99\00:04:22.49
United States government
00:04:22.52\00:04:23.86
has an ambassador to the Vatican
00:04:23.89\00:04:26.80
because it's another government.
00:04:26.83\00:04:29.60
It's a theocracy.
00:04:29.63\00:04:31.77
It's a total dictatorship.
00:04:31.80\00:04:34.47
The pope is a king.
00:04:34.50\00:04:37.37
Now, we're not criticizing
the pope as a person,
00:04:37.41\00:04:40.94
but we are
talking about a system
00:04:40.98\00:04:43.45
that we believe
has been described
00:04:43.48\00:04:47.45
in the prophecies of the Bible.
00:04:47.48\00:04:52.22
Yes, the papacy
has immense power.
00:04:52.25\00:04:56.19
The papacy claims
to have the authority
00:04:56.22\00:05:00.53
to forgive sins.
00:05:00.56\00:05:03.16
Now, I'm a
preacher of the gospel.
00:05:03.20\00:05:05.43
I believe that Jesus
Christ is the only person
00:05:05.47\00:05:08.14
who's got the authority
and the power to forgive sins.
00:05:08.17\00:05:13.54
Who can forgive
sins but God alone
00:05:13.58\00:05:16.91
is a relevant question.
00:05:16.95\00:05:19.91
But the papacy
believes that through the power
00:05:19.95\00:05:24.15
that God gave to St. Peter,
00:05:24.19\00:05:27.46
the first pope?
00:05:27.49\00:05:30.83
They believe that
through this power,
00:05:30.86\00:05:33.09
the Roman Catholic Church
00:05:33.13\00:05:35.20
can forgive the
sins of men and women,
00:05:35.23\00:05:38.80
and open to them
the gates of heaven.
00:05:38.83\00:05:43.30
Amazing!
00:05:43.34\00:05:45.91
The Roman Catholic Church,
of course, has the confessional
00:05:45.94\00:05:49.04
and onerous good
Christian Roman Catholics
00:05:49.08\00:05:51.65
go along, and they
confess to the priest.
00:05:51.68\00:05:55.85
And the priest stands
in the very place of God,
00:05:55.88\00:05:59.62
and he has the power
of God to forgive sins.
00:05:59.65\00:06:04.36
Amazing!
00:06:04.39\00:06:08.30
Now, I ask the question,
00:06:08.33\00:06:09.66
"Does the church
need a priest today?"
00:06:09.70\00:06:12.17
Does the church need a priest?
00:06:12.20\00:06:13.90
My answer is, yes, the
church does need a priest,
00:06:13.94\00:06:18.31
and the church
does have a priest.
00:06:18.34\00:06:20.34
We have a priest,
00:06:20.38\00:06:22.04
and His name is Jesus Christ.
00:06:22.08\00:06:26.92
Jesus Christ is our Priest.
00:06:26.95\00:06:30.39
Therefore, we
believe this other system
00:06:30.42\00:06:33.86
is a counterfeit.
00:06:33.89\00:06:37.03
Ellen White, who we
believe, had a special gift
00:06:37.06\00:06:40.60
and who was an
American visionary
00:06:40.63\00:06:44.70
of the 19th century
and the early 20th century,
00:06:44.73\00:06:48.17
said this.
00:06:48.20\00:06:50.91
"The Catholic
Church meets the needs
00:06:50.94\00:06:54.68
of almost the whole human race."
00:06:54.71\00:06:58.11
This is a very
perceptive statement, she said.
00:06:58.15\00:07:00.72
It's an amazing
statement, she said,
00:07:00.75\00:07:03.32
"Satisfies the needs
of almost all mankind.
00:07:03.35\00:07:05.95
Number one,
00:07:05.99\00:07:07.39
those who would be
saved by their works,
00:07:07.42\00:07:11.59
and number two,
00:07:11.63\00:07:12.96
those who would be
saved in their sins.
00:07:12.99\00:07:18.33
This is almost for everybody.
00:07:18.37\00:07:20.27
And therefore, the Roman Church
00:07:20.30\00:07:22.30
has got tremendous power.
00:07:22.34\00:07:26.61
And the Roman Church
has got tremendous power
00:07:26.64\00:07:29.91
to keep people in
superstition and darkness."
00:07:29.94\00:07:35.22
I've been to these
countries. I've been to Mexico.
00:07:35.25\00:07:38.25
I've been to Latin America.
00:07:38.29\00:07:40.92
I've been to Central America.
00:07:40.96\00:07:42.42
I've been to these countries.
00:07:42.46\00:07:44.89
I've seen the
power of the Vatican.
00:07:44.93\00:07:50.37
The power of the
Vatican is immense
00:07:50.40\00:07:53.20
to control the minds
00:07:53.23\00:07:55.37
and the souls of human beings.
00:07:55.40\00:08:01.14
"Why does
President Biden find strength
00:08:01.18\00:08:03.95
and comfort in the mass?"
00:08:03.98\00:08:06.28
Let it be said ever so plainly.
00:08:09.68\00:08:11.79
Today, we're not here
to criticize individuals,
00:08:11.82\00:08:16.26
not here to criticize the pope,
seems to be a fine gentleman,
00:08:16.29\00:08:21.46
Jesuit priest,
00:08:21.50\00:08:24.37
seems to be a person
who cares for people.
00:08:24.40\00:08:26.87
We're not here to
criticize the pope as a person.
00:08:26.90\00:08:30.77
Today, we are talking
about a system of deception
00:08:30.81\00:08:36.44
that has put itself
in the place of God.
00:08:36.48\00:08:40.58
I don't care whether the
person is a Roman Catholic
00:08:40.62\00:08:43.42
or a Protestant.
00:08:43.45\00:08:44.92
If he is a church leader
00:08:44.95\00:08:46.72
and he puts himself
in the place of God,
00:08:46.76\00:08:49.86
he becomes an Antichrist.
00:08:49.89\00:08:55.16
I believe that
we have one priest,
00:08:55.20\00:08:56.83
and that is
Jesus Christ our Lord.
00:08:56.87\00:09:00.47
We're certainly not here to
criticize President Joe Biden.
00:09:00.50\00:09:05.67
He's an earnest
Roman Catholic Christian.
00:09:05.71\00:09:09.21
He has the right to his faith.
00:09:09.24\00:09:12.05
We respect him for his faith.
00:09:12.08\00:09:16.18
But President Joe Biden believes
00:09:16.22\00:09:18.49
in the powerful ministry
00:09:18.52\00:09:22.89
of the Roman Catholic mass,
00:09:22.92\00:09:26.80
and this is
something I do not believe in.
00:09:26.83\00:09:29.86
I repudiate it.
00:09:29.90\00:09:32.13
Let me read you a
text in the Bible,
00:09:32.17\00:09:34.44
Luke 22:19-20.
00:09:34.47\00:09:40.41
It is talking
about the Last Supper.
00:09:40.44\00:09:44.51
Are you with me?
00:09:44.55\00:09:45.91
Luke 22:19, "And
He, Jesus, took bread,
00:09:45.95\00:09:50.69
gave thanks and broke it
00:09:50.72\00:09:53.05
and gave it to them saying,
00:09:53.09\00:09:55.76
'This is My body
which is given for you,
00:09:55.79\00:10:00.73
do this in remembrance of Me.'
00:10:00.76\00:10:04.33
Likewise, He also took
the cup after supper saying,
00:10:04.37\00:10:08.20
'This cup is the new
covenant in My blood,
00:10:08.24\00:10:12.57
which is shed for you.'"
00:10:12.61\00:10:14.28
This is my body.
00:10:14.31\00:10:16.71
This is my blood.
00:10:16.75\00:10:18.51
Now, the Roman
Catholic Church teaches this
00:10:22.28\00:10:25.09
through the doctrine
of Transubstantiation.
00:10:25.12\00:10:29.06
That the priest
through the power of God
00:10:29.09\00:10:32.46
can take the bread
and through the doctrine
00:10:32.49\00:10:35.00
of Transubstantiation
00:10:35.03\00:10:38.40
that bread is turned
into the body of Christ,
00:10:38.43\00:10:42.64
the wine is turned
00:10:42.67\00:10:45.41
into the blood of Christ.
00:10:45.44\00:10:48.61
As a Protestant Christian,
I believe that the bread
00:10:48.64\00:10:52.51
is the symbol of
the body of Christ.
00:10:52.55\00:10:55.48
When Jesus said,
"This is My body."
00:10:55.52\00:10:58.15
It obviously wasn't His
body because His body was here.
00:10:58.19\00:11:01.09
But He was saying,
"This represents My body."
00:11:01.12\00:11:04.69
A little child
can understand that.
00:11:04.73\00:11:07.80
Why have we made simple things
so complex and so difficult?
00:11:07.83\00:11:13.20
Jesus said, "This is My blood,"
00:11:13.23\00:11:16.30
when He took the grape juice,
00:11:16.34\00:11:19.34
but His blood was in His
veins. So what was He saying?
00:11:19.37\00:11:23.65
He was saying,
"This represents My blood,
00:11:23.68\00:11:27.98
which is shed for you."
00:11:28.02\00:11:29.35
But the papacy teaches that
the priest has the authority
00:11:32.42\00:11:35.82
from Almighty God to
turn the bread and the wine
00:11:35.86\00:11:39.76
into the actual body
and the blood of Christ.
00:11:39.79\00:11:44.13
This is the great
power of the Vatican.
00:11:44.17\00:11:46.94
This is the great
power of the papacy,
00:11:46.97\00:11:49.84
and this is the great power
00:11:49.87\00:11:51.84
that has the
President of the United States
00:11:51.87\00:11:55.94
so mesmerized.
00:11:55.98\00:12:00.58
I don't doubt the
sincerity of his faith.
00:12:00.62\00:12:02.85
I do doubt his knowledge.
00:12:06.02\00:12:08.92
I do doubt his
understanding of Scripture.
00:12:08.96\00:12:11.99
I don't think the
President knows a great deal
00:12:12.03\00:12:14.46
about Holy Scripture.
00:12:14.50\00:12:16.67
He has been
immersed and brainwashed
00:12:16.70\00:12:19.93
by the teachings of the church.
00:12:19.97\00:12:24.01
So when he goes to
Mass as he does every week,
00:12:24.04\00:12:27.14
God bless the President,
00:12:27.18\00:12:29.44
He actually feels
the very presence,
00:12:29.48\00:12:33.38
the actual
presence of the actual body
00:12:33.42\00:12:38.75
and the blood of Christ.
00:12:38.79\00:12:42.29
And he believes that through
partaking of this actual blood
00:12:42.32\00:12:47.63
and body, his sins are forgiven.
00:12:47.66\00:12:52.33
I cannot accept this
00:12:55.84\00:12:57.77
because I believe it
is completely opposed
00:12:57.81\00:13:01.34
to the plain
teachings of the scriptures.
00:13:01.38\00:13:04.15
But I say, "May God
bless President Joe Biden."
00:13:04.18\00:13:08.05
"What are the
aims of the papacy?"
00:13:11.42\00:13:13.89
Most people today
are profoundly naive.
00:13:17.03\00:13:21.83
You know this is
so. I know it is so.
00:13:21.86\00:13:25.50
Most people who go to church,
most Roman Catholics and today,
00:13:25.53\00:13:29.74
most Protestants know
nothing about Scripture.
00:13:29.77\00:13:34.38
They don't read Scripture.
00:13:34.41\00:13:37.25
Their religion has
largely become politics,
00:13:37.28\00:13:40.62
but they don't read Scripture.
00:13:40.65\00:13:42.78
They don't study
Scripture, now some do.
00:13:42.82\00:13:46.22
There are still a
few Bible scholars
00:13:46.25\00:13:48.72
that are but
they're tremendously rare.
00:13:48.76\00:13:52.79
And so most people today do
not to understand Scripture,
00:13:52.83\00:13:57.73
and therefore,
00:13:57.77\00:13:59.83
they do not
understand the Bible prophecies.
00:13:59.87\00:14:04.74
Now people say, "We
don't like what you teach
00:14:04.77\00:14:06.51
about the Bible prophecy."
00:14:06.54\00:14:07.88
Well, look,
it's not John Carter,
00:14:07.91\00:14:10.58
who has come up with
something new or something...
00:14:10.61\00:14:13.11
The problem is
that you have forgotten
00:14:13.15\00:14:16.25
what your church used to teach.
00:14:16.28\00:14:20.12
What I'm telling you today
00:14:20.16\00:14:21.49
is what the great Protestant
Churches used to teach,
00:14:21.52\00:14:24.39
and also a huge number
00:14:24.43\00:14:26.33
of Roman Catholic theologians.
00:14:26.36\00:14:31.20
What I'm teaching today
00:14:31.23\00:14:32.57
is what the
Lutherans used to teach,
00:14:32.60\00:14:35.50
and the Presbyterians,
and the Methodists,
00:14:35.54\00:14:39.27
and the Episcopalians,
and the Anglicans.
00:14:39.31\00:14:43.04
I can go, and the Adventists,
00:14:43.08\00:14:46.28
who still, some of
them still teach it.
00:14:46.31\00:14:50.12
But this is what was taught
by all of the great scholars
00:14:50.15\00:14:54.52
and all of the great
Protestant theologians
00:14:54.56\00:14:58.86
and by many, many
Roman Catholic priests,
00:14:58.89\00:15:03.77
and that is, the
Vatican that's described
00:15:03.80\00:15:07.04
in the prophecies of the Bible.
00:15:07.07\00:15:08.84
And the Vatican
has one great aim.
00:15:11.84\00:15:15.08
Are you strong
enough to hear this?
00:15:15.11\00:15:18.31
Are you listening, or
is this too much for you?
00:15:18.35\00:15:21.98
Is this too
politically incorrect
00:15:22.02\00:15:25.32
for your sensitive ears?
00:15:25.35\00:15:28.49
Let me tell you,
00:15:28.52\00:15:30.16
the aims of the
papacy outlined very plainly
00:15:30.19\00:15:33.53
in that magnificent
book, The Great Controversy.
00:15:33.56\00:15:37.23
Get a copy of it.
00:15:37.27\00:15:39.10
There's a chapter there
called, The Aims of the Papacy,
00:15:39.13\00:15:44.37
written by the prophetess,
00:15:44.41\00:15:46.74
Ellen White, very plain.
00:15:46.78\00:15:50.75
She quotes from
the Bible prophecies.
00:15:50.78\00:15:53.75
The aims of the papacy
00:15:53.78\00:15:56.95
to rule the world,
00:15:56.99\00:16:00.16
to take over the
Protestant Churches,
00:16:00.19\00:16:03.49
to take over the
United States government,
00:16:03.53\00:16:06.90
world dominion.
00:16:06.93\00:16:08.76
"What is so powerful
about true Protestantism?"
00:16:12.77\00:16:17.44
Most people today
haven't got a clue
00:16:20.78\00:16:23.28
about true Protestantism.
00:16:23.31\00:16:27.32
Protestantism, it
could be a breakfast cereal.
00:16:27.35\00:16:33.15
Most people know
nothing about it,
00:16:33.19\00:16:37.23
but Protestantism gave you
the freedoms that you have.
00:16:37.26\00:16:42.03
Australia would
not have its freedoms
00:16:42.06\00:16:44.47
were it not for Protestantism.
00:16:44.50\00:16:47.80
America would still be...
00:16:47.84\00:16:49.54
would be in the Dark Ages.
00:16:49.57\00:16:50.91
It would never have
become the greatest nation
00:16:50.94\00:16:53.54
in the history of the world
00:16:53.58\00:16:54.98
if it had not been for
the Protestant reformation.
00:16:55.01\00:16:58.91
Protestantism put up
great in Great Britain.
00:16:58.95\00:17:04.75
Protestantism made
the Scandinavian countries
00:17:04.79\00:17:07.36
the wonders of the
world, the cleanest,
00:17:07.39\00:17:09.92
the most prosperous.
00:17:09.96\00:17:12.79
Protestantism lifted
the world out of the mire
00:17:12.83\00:17:16.63
of darkness and superstition.
00:17:16.67\00:17:21.57
We need to brush
up, my friend, I think,
00:17:21.60\00:17:24.41
on our history.
00:17:24.44\00:17:26.11
What was the
genius of Protestantism?
00:17:26.14\00:17:28.68
Let me give it to you.
00:17:28.71\00:17:30.05
Here it is.
00:17:30.08\00:17:32.25
Sola Christus, only
Christ, I don't need a pope.
00:17:32.28\00:17:36.69
"Yeah, but every..."
No, I don't need the pope.
00:17:36.72\00:17:39.55
I have Christ.
00:17:39.59\00:17:41.82
And if I have
Christ, I don't need the pope
00:17:41.86\00:17:45.49
and I don't need a priest.
00:17:45.53\00:17:47.93
Sola Scriptura, only Scripture.
00:17:47.96\00:17:52.47
I don't need a hierarchy
to tell me what to believe.
00:17:52.50\00:17:56.07
God has already told me
00:17:56.10\00:17:57.44
what to believe in
the words of Scripture.
00:17:57.47\00:18:01.68
Sola Gratia, only grace.
00:18:01.71\00:18:04.01
I only need the grace of God.
00:18:04.05\00:18:06.08
Sola Fide, I only need faith.
00:18:06.11\00:18:08.85
Of course, I'm
quoting a little bit of Latin.
00:18:08.88\00:18:12.82
But this was the genius of
the Protestant Reformation.
00:18:12.85\00:18:15.56
If you want freedom, my friend,
00:18:15.59\00:18:18.23
then you better become
a Protestant in your soul.
00:18:18.26\00:18:22.20
Even if you go to
a Catholic Church,
00:18:22.23\00:18:24.57
you better become a
Protestant in your soul.
00:18:24.60\00:18:27.60
Now, let me
read you a text here,
00:18:27.64\00:18:29.27
Hebrews 6:19-20.
00:18:29.30\00:18:33.68
Now, I hope this is
not too strong for you
00:18:33.71\00:18:35.68
but if it is so be it.
00:18:35.71\00:18:39.25
It says, "This hope we
have as an anchor of the soul,
00:18:39.28\00:18:44.09
both sure and steadfast,
00:18:44.12\00:18:46.39
and which enters the
presence behind the veil,
00:18:46.42\00:18:50.69
where the forerunner has
entered for us, even Jesus,
00:18:50.73\00:18:54.86
having become High
Priest forever according
00:18:54.90\00:18:58.10
to the order of Melchizedek."
00:18:58.13\00:19:01.10
Bible tells me, I can go
into the very presence of God.
00:19:01.14\00:19:05.31
I don't need
your earthly priest.
00:19:05.34\00:19:07.84
I don't need your earthly
pope. I have a High Priest.
00:19:07.88\00:19:11.71
And the Bible tells me I can go
into the very presence of God,
00:19:11.75\00:19:16.28
and through Jesus
Christ, my sins are forgiven.
00:19:16.32\00:19:20.79
Does the church
need a priest today?
00:19:20.82\00:19:22.66
You better believe it.
00:19:22.69\00:19:24.26
Does the church
have a priest today?
00:19:24.29\00:19:25.99
You better believe it.
00:19:26.03\00:19:27.50
The Priest is Jesus Christ.
00:19:27.53\00:19:30.93
And no church, no pope,
00:19:30.97\00:19:33.67
no priest, no minister,
00:19:33.70\00:19:36.97
no ecclesiastical authority
00:19:37.01\00:19:40.31
can separate my soul from God.
00:19:40.34\00:19:44.35
"Why are most Protestants
00:19:47.72\00:19:49.92
so blind to the
aims of the papacy?"
00:19:49.95\00:19:53.19
Well, it seems to me
today that most Protestants,
00:19:56.42\00:19:58.89
at least in the
United States of America,
00:19:58.93\00:20:01.20
are more interested in politics.
00:20:01.23\00:20:04.80
That's why
America is in such a mess.
00:20:08.17\00:20:11.07
That's why we're going
back into another Dark Age
00:20:11.11\00:20:14.84
because we've gotten
away from the Word of God.
00:20:14.88\00:20:19.45
Can't you see what
I'm trying to tell you?
00:20:19.48\00:20:23.28
Jesus said, "It is written, man
shall not live by bread alone,
00:20:23.32\00:20:26.82
but by every word that proceeds
out of the mouth of God."
00:20:26.86\00:20:29.92
But we have become
00:20:29.96\00:20:31.59
a very ignorant people,
00:20:31.63\00:20:36.00
a very gullible people,
00:20:36.03\00:20:38.20
so easily deceived.
00:20:38.23\00:20:43.10
Also, business dealings,
00:20:43.14\00:20:46.68
people seem to be more
interested in business dealings
00:20:46.71\00:20:50.65
than in dealings
with Scripture and God.
00:20:50.68\00:20:54.12
And many of us
have become dummies,
00:20:54.15\00:20:58.75
as far as the Word
of God is concerned.
00:20:58.79\00:21:03.73
Now, a pastor was
preaching down in San Diego.
00:21:03.76\00:21:06.56
This is very recently.
00:21:06.59\00:21:08.96
You may find this too
hard to believe, it's true.
00:21:09.00\00:21:12.97
He was preaching at a funeral.
00:21:13.00\00:21:16.07
He's supposed to
be giving people hope.
00:21:16.10\00:21:19.11
And he got up there and
he told the congregation,
00:21:19.14\00:21:22.08
"Well, I don't know
what's going to happen
00:21:22.11\00:21:23.45
to your loved one.
00:21:23.48\00:21:24.81
I don't believe
in the resurrection.
00:21:24.85\00:21:27.52
I don't know if
Jesus rose from the dead."
00:21:27.55\00:21:30.32
We wonder why
America is in such a mess.
00:21:34.16\00:21:37.89
It is because we
have forsaken God
00:21:37.93\00:21:40.83
and we have forsaken Scripture.
00:21:40.86\00:21:42.96
"Do some Protestant
Churches have ambassadors
00:21:46.57\00:21:50.21
to the Vatican?"
00:21:50.24\00:21:51.57
I don't know if it's
true to say ambassadors,
00:21:54.78\00:21:56.78
representatives.
00:21:56.81\00:22:00.12
Many churches who
got representatives
00:22:00.15\00:22:02.18
at what they call the Holy See.
00:22:02.22\00:22:04.95
The Roman Catholic
Church has tremendous influence.
00:22:04.99\00:22:09.06
Pope Francis is
on a crusade to bring
00:22:09.09\00:22:12.06
all the Protestant
Churches back under the wings
00:22:12.09\00:22:14.56
of the Catholic Church.
00:22:14.60\00:22:16.73
He's just proclaimed
00:22:16.77\00:22:18.57
a great new ecumenical outreach.
00:22:18.60\00:22:23.51
Virtually all of the
churches, maybe your church,
00:22:23.54\00:22:26.07
I don't know,
00:22:26.11\00:22:27.78
but most of the churches
today are involved in dialogue
00:22:27.81\00:22:32.51
with the Roman Catholic Church.
00:22:32.55\00:22:36.15
The Bible talks
about the Mother Church,
00:22:36.18\00:22:37.75
and the Bible also
talks in Revelation 17
00:22:37.79\00:22:40.56
about all the daughter churches.
00:22:40.59\00:22:43.89
And it does appear today
00:22:43.93\00:22:45.39
that many of the
churches are hurrying to go back
00:22:45.43\00:22:50.30
to the Church of Rome.
00:22:50.33\00:22:53.77
I knew personally,
one Protestant leader,
00:22:53.80\00:22:58.61
who went over
regularly to the Vatican
00:22:58.64\00:23:02.21
and he sat with the cardinals.
00:23:02.24\00:23:05.11
What did you say?
00:23:05.15\00:23:06.48
Yeah, this man was
a Protestant leader.
00:23:06.51\00:23:08.88
I knew him. On one
occasion, he came to me...
00:23:08.92\00:23:13.05
And I can tell you the story,
00:23:13.09\00:23:14.42
but I'm not going to
because it's too explosive.
00:23:14.46\00:23:19.79
But he came to me
00:23:19.83\00:23:21.16
with a personal
message from the pope.
00:23:21.20\00:23:26.30
What was the message?
00:23:26.33\00:23:27.84
"Stop what you're preaching
00:23:27.87\00:23:30.64
or else you're
going to be blacklisted.
00:23:30.67\00:23:32.57
We're going to destroy you.
00:23:32.61\00:23:36.11
You're going to go down."
00:23:36.14\00:23:40.25
Did it happen? Yes.
00:23:40.28\00:23:41.62
My wife was there when
the conversation occurred.
00:23:41.65\00:23:44.25
Where do I stand?
00:23:47.76\00:23:51.53
I am a Christian.
00:23:51.56\00:23:55.13
I am a Protestant.
00:23:55.16\00:23:56.97
I am an Adventist.
00:23:57.00\00:23:59.93
I believe in the
writings of Holy Scripture.
00:23:59.97\00:24:03.47
I have a Priest.
00:24:06.57\00:24:07.91
I confess my sins to
this Priest every day,
00:24:07.94\00:24:10.78
many times during the day.
00:24:10.81\00:24:13.28
My Priest is in heaven,
00:24:13.31\00:24:15.48
Jesus Christ the Lord,
00:24:15.52\00:24:20.56
and I love my
Roman Catholic brothers
00:24:20.59\00:24:23.32
and sisters.
00:24:23.36\00:24:24.89
I love the pope as a person.
00:24:24.93\00:24:28.66
I love Roman
Catholic priests and nuns,
00:24:28.70\00:24:33.87
but I believe in
Jesus Christ, my Savior.
00:24:38.81\00:24:44.01
I don't need a pope
and I don't need a priest
00:24:44.05\00:24:48.08
because I have Christ.
00:24:48.12\00:24:50.72
Now, in the next
session of this program,
00:24:50.75\00:24:53.25
which is going to be
session number three,
00:24:53.29\00:24:56.73
I will deal more
fully with a letter from Bob
00:24:56.76\00:25:00.76
that talks about
The Aims of the Papacy.
00:25:00.80\00:25:05.40
Jesus said,
00:25:12.24\00:25:13.58
"All authority has been given
to Me in heaven and on earth.
00:25:13.61\00:25:17.78
Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations,
00:25:17.81\00:25:22.05
baptizing them in
the name of the Father
00:25:22.08\00:25:24.72
and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit."
00:25:24.75\00:25:29.89

great things He has done.
