God watches over us.
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.03
He looks into
the hearts of people.
00:00:03.06\00:00:05.47
He helps us to find
the very best in ourselves.
00:00:05.50\00:00:08.80
He is not interested
in what church we go to,
00:00:08.84\00:00:11.67
or what denomination we choose.
00:00:11.71\00:00:14.58
He doesn't care how
much money and power we have,
00:00:14.61\00:00:17.81
or our political agenda,
00:00:17.85\00:00:19.81
he looks to find
a servant's heart.
00:00:19.85\00:00:22.75
This is biblical truth.
00:00:22.78\00:00:25.15
Pastor Carter
continues to explore this truth
00:00:25.19\00:00:28.09
in Aims of the Papacy.
00:00:28.12\00:00:30.33
Hello, friend, I'm John Carter.
00:00:39.10\00:00:42.24
Welcome today to
the Carter Report.
00:00:42.27\00:00:44.84
This is part three
00:00:44.87\00:00:47.28
of The Aims of the Papacy.
00:00:47.31\00:00:51.08
Now, I received
many, many letters
00:00:51.11\00:00:54.02
and we try to treat each letter
00:00:54.05\00:00:56.99
with dignity and respect.
00:00:57.02\00:01:00.56
This letter
00:01:00.59\00:01:01.92
we call the Bob Letter.
00:01:01.96\00:01:07.30
It's written by
Bob in California.
00:01:07.33\00:01:10.87
It's a very
controversial letter.
00:01:10.90\00:01:13.74
But because it's controversial,
we're not going to toss it out.
00:01:13.77\00:01:16.94
We are going to answer it.
00:01:16.97\00:01:20.01
This is part three.
00:01:20.04\00:01:21.78
Here it goes, I'll
read the letter again
00:01:21.81\00:01:24.28
to refresh your pure minds.
00:01:24.31\00:01:28.28
"Hi, John, I hope all is
well with you and Beverley.
00:01:28.32\00:01:32.19
I'm not sure if you've
noticed what is going on
00:01:32.22\00:01:34.36
in Scotland and
Europe right now.
00:01:34.39\00:01:37.23
As I write there is
a conference forming
00:01:37.26\00:01:39.43
in Scotland with
all the world leaders
00:01:39.46\00:01:42.06
to discuss the climate.
00:01:42.10\00:01:44.80
The pope has stated that
he will attend the conference
00:01:44.83\00:01:47.44
and present his
answer for the climate.
00:01:47.47\00:01:50.64
His proposal is to establish
00:01:50.67\00:01:54.38
a worldwide day of rest
00:01:54.41\00:01:57.05
to lower carbon emissions,
00:01:57.08\00:01:59.51
and of course, this
day would be Sunday.
00:01:59.55\00:02:02.82
Although this may help
the environment somewhat,
00:02:02.85\00:02:05.75
its real purpose is
to get the world leaders
00:02:05.79\00:02:08.26
to conform with
the Catholic Church
00:02:08.29\00:02:10.99
and the pope.
00:02:11.03\00:02:14.00
America currently has a leader
00:02:14.03\00:02:15.93
that has no backbone,
00:02:15.96\00:02:17.47
and he is Catholic."
00:02:17.50\00:02:19.87
Bob, I've got to
pause here a little bit.
00:02:19.90\00:02:25.74
We pray for President Joe Biden,
00:02:25.77\00:02:28.54
and we respect his
Roman Catholic faith.
00:02:28.58\00:02:32.91
In this program, we
do not criticize people.
00:02:32.95\00:02:35.92
We don't
criticize political leaders.
00:02:35.95\00:02:39.62
We don't
criticize religious leaders.
00:02:39.65\00:02:42.62
We are here to defend
the truths of the Bible.
00:02:42.66\00:02:47.83
So Bob goes on to say,
00:02:47.86\00:02:49.60
"So, he will
certainly bow to the pope
00:02:49.63\00:02:53.54
and is obligated to do
so because he is Catholic.
00:02:53.57\00:02:59.34
John, could
this be the beginning
00:02:59.37\00:03:01.38
of the mark of the beast?
00:03:01.41\00:03:04.65
How clever would
this be for the pope
00:03:04.68\00:03:06.82
to take this opportunity
to advance his agenda?
00:03:06.85\00:03:11.22
What are your
thoughts about this?"
00:03:11.25\00:03:12.82
Well, Bob, I'm trying
to answer your question
00:03:12.85\00:03:17.03
in the most
intelligent way I can.
00:03:17.06\00:03:21.00
By exploring all of these issues
00:03:21.03\00:03:24.53
but, Bob, I wanna
tell you something.
00:03:24.57\00:03:26.94
Bob in California, we
love Roman Catholic people.
00:03:26.97\00:03:31.27
We love the pope.
00:03:31.31\00:03:33.58
Jesus died for people.
00:03:33.61\00:03:36.58
And so, Bob, when I'm answering
your questions here today,
00:03:36.61\00:03:40.72
I'm doing so from
the viewpoint of truth.
00:03:40.75\00:03:44.65
We're not talking about people,
00:03:44.69\00:03:47.36
but we're talking
about the truth of God
00:03:47.39\00:03:49.86
and a great system of deception
00:03:49.89\00:03:54.70
that has deceived
almost the whole wide world.
00:03:54.73\00:03:58.67
"What Catholic
ideas are contrary
00:04:01.67\00:04:04.91
to biblical teachings?"
00:04:04.94\00:04:06.27
We should remember
this, Wayne, what Jesus said.
00:04:09.54\00:04:12.21
Jesus said, "You
will know the truth,
00:04:12.25\00:04:15.12
the truth will make you free."
00:04:15.15\00:04:18.35
Now I understand today,
00:04:18.39\00:04:19.92
the concept of truth is anathema
00:04:19.95\00:04:22.26
to millions and
millions of people.
00:04:22.29\00:04:25.03
Even to millions of Protestants
00:04:25.06\00:04:26.76
and I am a Protestant Christian.
00:04:26.80\00:04:28.20
I'm an Adventist,
00:04:28.23\00:04:31.20
but I believe in
the concept of truth.
00:04:31.23\00:04:33.23
I believe in
the purity of truth.
00:04:33.27\00:04:37.31
I believe in the possibility
00:04:37.34\00:04:40.18
of being able to
discuss ideas and truths
00:04:40.21\00:04:45.95
without becoming personal.
00:04:45.98\00:04:49.78
Let me make this
ever so plain today.
00:04:49.82\00:04:53.02
We are not
against Roman Catholics
00:04:53.05\00:04:55.19
never, never, never.
00:04:55.22\00:04:57.99
In fact, we believe
00:04:58.03\00:04:59.73
that the vast
majority of God's true children
00:04:59.76\00:05:02.13
are found in the
Roman Catholic Church
00:05:02.16\00:05:04.37
and another churches like
the Roman Catholic Church,
00:05:04.40\00:05:06.90
not in my little church.
00:05:06.94\00:05:09.84
God looks upon the heart
00:05:09.87\00:05:11.91
and God loves
Roman Catholic people.
00:05:11.94\00:05:15.28
But you've asked me a question.
00:05:15.31\00:05:17.85
Let me repeat it to you.
00:05:17.88\00:05:20.75
What are Catholic ideas
00:05:20.78\00:05:22.32
that are contrary
to biblical teachings?
00:05:22.35\00:05:26.39
Well, let me give you some.
00:05:26.42\00:05:28.52
We're not talking personalities.
00:05:28.56\00:05:31.49
We are talking ideas
00:05:31.53\00:05:33.19
that are not
found in the Word of God
00:05:33.23\00:05:36.46
and therefore I feel obligated
to talk about these things.
00:05:36.50\00:05:42.17
Take for instance, purgatory.
00:05:42.20\00:05:45.57
I was asked to take a
funeral some time back
00:05:45.61\00:05:48.51
in a little
Australian country town.
00:05:48.54\00:05:51.08
This was many years ago.
00:05:51.11\00:05:54.85
This dear old man was
a devout Roman Catholic
00:05:54.88\00:05:58.35
and the family
came to me with wads,
00:05:58.39\00:06:00.76
big bundles of dollar bills.
00:06:00.79\00:06:04.13
And they said, "We
want you to pray for Parr."
00:06:04.16\00:06:09.86
I said, "But I
don't pray for the dead."
00:06:09.90\00:06:11.97
They said, "No, you
got to pray for Parr,
00:06:12.00\00:06:14.80
because Parr is in
purgatory and he's suffering."
00:06:14.84\00:06:19.37
Well, I told him this look,
00:06:19.41\00:06:20.88
my beloved Roman
Catholic friends,
00:06:20.91\00:06:23.45
whom I love in Christ.
00:06:23.48\00:06:26.61
I don't believe in purgatory
00:06:26.65\00:06:30.82
because purgatory
00:06:30.85\00:06:32.92
is not taught in the Bible.
00:06:32.95\00:06:37.46
I said, "Parr
died with his faith
00:06:37.49\00:06:40.16
in the Lord Jesus
Christ and by the grace of God,
00:06:40.20\00:06:43.50
dear old Parr is
going to be with Christ
00:06:43.53\00:06:47.70
in paradise."
00:06:47.74\00:06:49.74
There is no such
place as purgatory.
00:06:49.77\00:06:54.08
Let me tell you some other ideas
00:06:54.11\00:06:55.78
that I don't
accept that is taught
00:06:55.81\00:06:58.31
by the great
Roman Catholic Church,
00:06:58.35\00:07:00.72
the idea of eternal hellfire.
00:07:00.75\00:07:05.12
You know what this idea is?
00:07:05.15\00:07:06.59
That God is going to burn people
00:07:06.62\00:07:09.09
for millions and millions
00:07:09.12\00:07:11.63
and billions and
trillions of years.
00:07:11.66\00:07:15.66
Do you believe this idea?
00:07:19.23\00:07:21.24
How can you
believe in a God of love,
00:07:21.27\00:07:24.84
I asked you and
believe in this terrible idea?
00:07:24.87\00:07:29.51
This makes God into a terrorist.
00:07:29.54\00:07:32.25
Now I'm going to read Jude.
00:07:32.28\00:07:35.42
It's only one chapter, verse
7, it says, "Sodom and Gomorrah,
00:07:35.45\00:07:38.85
and the cities around
them in similar manner
00:07:38.89\00:07:41.29
to these having given themselves
00:07:41.32\00:07:43.86
over to sexual immorality
00:07:43.89\00:07:46.93
and gone after strange flesh,
00:07:46.96\00:07:50.80
are set forth as an example,
00:07:50.83\00:07:53.77
suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire.
00:07:53.80\00:07:58.94
Now, I've been to that vicinity.
00:07:58.97\00:08:01.18
I've been to the vicinity
of old Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:08:01.21\00:08:05.08
Those cities today
00:08:05.11\00:08:06.45
are under the murky
waters of the Dead Sea.
00:08:06.48\00:08:12.39
They're not burning, my
friend, the fire went out.
00:08:12.42\00:08:15.99
I don't believe
in the Catholic idea
00:08:16.02\00:08:20.50
of an eternally burning hell
00:08:20.53\00:08:23.33
because I believe it turns God
00:08:23.37\00:08:27.37
into a monster.
00:08:27.40\00:08:30.21
Forgive me for defending God.
00:08:30.24\00:08:34.28
If I need your forgiveness,
you ask me this question.
00:08:34.31\00:08:38.61
Here's the question.
00:08:38.65\00:08:39.98
What are Catholic ideas
00:08:40.02\00:08:41.35
that are contrary
to biblical teachings?
00:08:41.38\00:08:45.95
I don't believe
in the Catholic idea
00:08:45.99\00:08:49.19
of the priesthood
offering up a sacrifice.
00:08:49.22\00:08:54.40
I don't believe I
need an earthly priest.
00:08:54.43\00:08:57.60
I can give you many,
many texts out of the Bible,
00:08:57.63\00:09:00.44
particularly the Book of Hebrews
00:09:00.47\00:09:02.30
that teaches that Jesus Christ
00:09:02.34\00:09:05.61
is my High Priest
00:09:05.64\00:09:08.44
and I can go into
the Most Holy Place,
00:09:08.48\00:09:11.11
and I can confess
my sins to Christ,
00:09:11.15\00:09:15.42
and He is my Priest,
00:09:15.45\00:09:17.52
and He forgives my sins.
00:09:17.55\00:09:20.76
So I don't believe in
the Roman Catholic idea
00:09:20.79\00:09:24.39
of the priesthood
00:09:24.43\00:09:25.76
or the sacrifice or
all of this great power.
00:09:25.79\00:09:30.50
I don't believe in
the Roman Catholic idea
00:09:30.53\00:09:33.03
of Sunday keeping.
00:09:33.07\00:09:35.27
Now, one of the
reasons I don't believe in it,
00:09:35.30\00:09:37.11
my friend, is because
00:09:37.14\00:09:38.47
of what the Roman
Catholic churches has said.
00:09:38.51\00:09:41.38
The Roman Catholic churches
taught in its great confessions
00:09:41.41\00:09:45.55
that they by the power of God
00:09:45.58\00:09:47.88
changed the
Sabbath from the Sabbath,
00:09:47.92\00:09:51.25
from the seventh day to
the first day of the week,
00:09:51.29\00:09:53.22
from Saturday to Sunday.
00:09:53.25\00:09:55.09
You can read this
in Keenan's Catechism.
00:09:55.12\00:09:57.06
I've got most of
these catechisms.
00:09:57.09\00:10:00.10
I believe in the
Ten Commandments.
00:10:00.13\00:10:02.83
I don't believe that
any church has got the power
00:10:02.86\00:10:06.03
to change the
commandments of God.
00:10:06.07\00:10:08.17
And the Catholic
Church says it has that power.
00:10:08.20\00:10:10.47
I don't believe in the
immortality of the soul.
00:10:13.54\00:10:16.91
Well, now you say,
but everybody believes,
00:10:16.95\00:10:18.71
well, I don't believe it.
00:10:18.75\00:10:20.62
I know the Greeks
used to believe it
00:10:20.65\00:10:22.15
and the Romans
used to believe it,
00:10:22.18\00:10:23.52
and the Egyptians
used to believe it,
00:10:23.55\00:10:25.32
and the Persians
used to believe it,
00:10:25.35\00:10:26.89
and the Babylonians and Norsean.
00:10:26.92\00:10:31.49
But I believe
the text in the Bible
00:10:31.53\00:10:33.03
Ezekiel Chapter 18,
00:10:33.06\00:10:34.40
that says the soul
that sins will die.
00:10:34.43\00:10:39.60
I believe that the soul
has the capacity to die.
00:10:39.63\00:10:43.91
I don't believe in praying
for the souls of the dead.
00:10:43.94\00:10:48.84
That's why I didn't pray
for the soul of this old man
00:10:48.88\00:10:51.78
that I told you about before
00:10:51.81\00:10:54.05
because he was
safe and he was secure.
00:10:54.08\00:10:57.69
I don't believe in
eternally burning hell.
00:10:57.72\00:11:01.52
And I don't believe in
the immortality of the soul.
00:11:01.56\00:11:05.46
I don't believe in
confessing my sins to a priest,
00:11:05.49\00:11:09.26
because my priest is Jesus.
00:11:09.30\00:11:12.20
When I say I don't believe
00:11:12.23\00:11:13.57
in confessing my
sins to a priest.
00:11:13.60\00:11:15.20
I'm talking about
an earthly priest.
00:11:15.24\00:11:17.54
I believe that
is a terrible idea
00:11:17.57\00:11:22.28
because it's so
against the Bible.
00:11:22.31\00:11:25.91
Now, let me read you
from Hebrews 4:14-16.
00:11:25.95\00:11:29.78
Please listen up, Bob.
00:11:29.82\00:11:33.12
"Seeing then that we
have a great High Priest
00:11:33.15\00:11:36.49
who has passed
through the heavens,
00:11:36.52\00:11:38.36
Jesus the Son of God."
00:11:38.39\00:11:40.36
Our high priest is not the pope.
00:11:40.40\00:11:44.33
Forgive me, my Catholic friends.
00:11:44.37\00:11:47.20
I'm not trying to insult you.
00:11:47.24\00:11:48.57
I'm not trying to be rude.
00:11:48.60\00:11:50.54
I love Roman
Catholics, I love the pope.
00:11:50.57\00:11:53.88
We're not talking about people,
we're talking about ideas.
00:11:53.91\00:11:57.65
Can we lay aside the emotion
00:11:57.68\00:12:00.28
and talk about biblical truths?
00:12:00.32\00:12:04.35
Now, the Bible tells
me, I have a High Priest.
00:12:04.39\00:12:08.12
That's not the pope, it's Jesus.
00:12:08.16\00:12:10.99
"Great High Priest
00:12:11.03\00:12:12.36
who has passed
through the heavens,
00:12:12.39\00:12:13.83
Jesus the Son of God,
00:12:13.86\00:12:16.13
let us hold
fast our confession."
00:12:16.16\00:12:17.87
This is Hebrews 4,
00:12:17.90\00:12:19.67
"For we do not
have a High Priest
00:12:19.70\00:12:21.77
who cannot
sympathize with our weaknesses,
00:12:21.80\00:12:24.57
but was in all
points tempted as we are,
00:12:24.61\00:12:27.48
yet without sin.
00:12:27.51\00:12:28.84
Let us therefore come
boldly to the throne of grace,
00:12:28.88\00:12:32.21
that we may obtain mercy
00:12:32.25\00:12:34.02
and find grace to
help in time of need."
00:12:34.05\00:12:38.09
This is great news.
00:12:38.12\00:12:40.99
This is the gospel,
you're a sinner, I'm a sinner.
00:12:41.02\00:12:46.86
I don't need to go
to the confessional
00:12:46.90\00:12:48.56
on Sunday or on Wednesday.
00:12:48.60\00:12:51.67
I go to Christ,
00:12:51.70\00:12:53.70
and I go to Jesus Christ
00:12:53.74\00:12:57.37
direct.
00:12:57.41\00:13:00.58
You see, I can't believe
these Roman Catholic ideas
00:13:00.61\00:13:04.18
because I don't believe
they're taught in the Bible.
00:13:04.21\00:13:07.62
I don't believe in the mass.
00:13:07.65\00:13:10.55
I don't believe that the
priest has got the authority
00:13:10.59\00:13:13.52
to turn the bread
into the body of Christ,
00:13:13.56\00:13:16.06
or the wine into
the blood of Christ.
00:13:16.09\00:13:18.76
I don't believe
00:13:18.79\00:13:20.30
in the doctrine of
Transubstantiation.
00:13:20.33\00:13:25.57
Now don't get mad with me
00:13:25.60\00:13:27.00
because I don't
believe in these ideas.
00:13:27.04\00:13:29.90
Can't we be rational?
00:13:29.94\00:13:31.81
Can't we discuss the Bible
00:13:31.84\00:13:33.61
without getting
mad with each other?
00:13:33.64\00:13:37.18
Can't we lay
aside religious bigotry?
00:13:37.21\00:13:41.85
Let me give you
some of my other ideas.
00:13:41.88\00:13:43.85
I don't believe in
the baptism of babies.
00:13:43.89\00:13:47.86
Jesus was baptized
00:13:47.89\00:13:49.56
when He was
about 30 years of age.
00:13:49.59\00:13:52.26
They didn't baptize
babies in the Bible.
00:13:52.29\00:13:55.50
Oh, I know
00:13:55.53\00:13:57.03
I'm going to make lots
of people very mad with me
00:13:57.07\00:14:01.30
but you see, I'm a Christian
who believes the Bible.
00:14:01.34\00:14:05.81
Can you forgive me for that?
00:14:05.84\00:14:09.78
I don't believe in
the baptism of babies.
00:14:09.81\00:14:12.95
I believe in Sola
Scripture, Sola Scriptura,
00:14:12.98\00:14:18.15
I don't believe in
the Bible and tradition.
00:14:18.19\00:14:20.42
Now I know there
are some Protestants
00:14:20.46\00:14:22.06
who are very Roman
Catholic in their thinking.
00:14:22.09\00:14:24.99
They believe in the Bible
00:14:25.03\00:14:27.16
as interpreted by tradition.
00:14:27.20\00:14:31.17
I don't believe that.
00:14:31.20\00:14:32.73
I'm a Protestant.
00:14:32.77\00:14:35.10
I believe what Jesus
said, "It is written,
00:14:35.14\00:14:38.17
man shall not
live by bread alone,
00:14:38.21\00:14:40.18
but by every word that proceeds
out of the mouth of God."
00:14:40.21\00:14:43.24
That's where I stand.
00:14:43.28\00:14:44.61
You might be mad with
me, but sorry about that.
00:14:44.65\00:14:46.82
I don't believe in
the celibacy of the clergy
00:14:46.85\00:14:52.45
because St. Peter
had a mother-in-law
00:14:52.49\00:14:55.66
and my Catholic friends say
00:14:55.69\00:14:57.03
that St. Peter
was the first pope.
00:14:57.06\00:14:58.39
Now I don't believe
that, I don't believe it's true
00:14:58.43\00:15:01.96
but, you know, I appreciate
your wanting to believe it,
00:15:02.00\00:15:05.03
but I don't believe in celibacy.
00:15:05.07\00:15:06.74
I don't believe in
the veneration of relics.
00:15:06.77\00:15:10.97
I don't believe
in the Roman Catholic
00:15:11.01\00:15:12.61
stand on contraception.
00:15:12.64\00:15:14.41
I don't believe
that a group of priests
00:15:17.45\00:15:21.12
have got the right to tell women
00:15:21.15\00:15:22.82
what they ought to do.
00:15:22.85\00:15:26.15
I don't believe in the
Roman Catholic teaching
00:15:26.19\00:15:28.36
on contraception.
00:15:28.39\00:15:29.72
Most Roman
Catholics agree with me,
00:15:29.76\00:15:32.76
at least in America.
00:15:32.79\00:15:35.66
Why can't you open
your minds up a little bit,
00:15:35.70\00:15:37.67
I say to you and
Christian charity,
00:15:37.70\00:15:39.97
and think that maybe we can talk
00:15:40.00\00:15:42.27
about some other things, too.
00:15:42.30\00:15:45.17
I don't believe in
the idea of a theocracy,
00:15:45.21\00:15:48.88
which was originally
devised by St. Augustine
00:15:48.91\00:15:52.78
many, many years ago,
00:15:52.81\00:15:54.62
one of the first great
Roman Catholic theologians.
00:15:54.65\00:15:58.05
He taught about the
union of church and state.
00:15:58.09\00:16:01.72
While the
Catholic Church for about
00:16:01.76\00:16:03.09
1000 years
practiced a theocracy,
00:16:03.12\00:16:07.46
ruled the world,
the then known world,
00:16:07.50\00:16:09.56
and persecuted heretics like me.
00:16:09.60\00:16:15.24
I don't believe in theocracy,
00:16:15.27\00:16:17.14
I believe in the
separation of church and state.
00:16:17.17\00:16:21.41
Now, I realized today
00:16:21.44\00:16:22.78
that in the
United States of America,
00:16:22.81\00:16:24.25
there are
millions of Protestants
00:16:24.28\00:16:25.98
who sort of lost
their way completely.
00:16:26.01\00:16:28.08
They're totally
ignorant of the scriptures.
00:16:28.12\00:16:31.15
Hey, are you listening here?
00:16:31.19\00:16:32.55
Totally ignorant
of the scriptures
00:16:32.59\00:16:35.12
and now they want the church
00:16:35.16\00:16:37.26
to join with the state
00:16:37.29\00:16:39.13
and they want to make Jesus
00:16:39.16\00:16:40.83
the King of America,
00:16:40.86\00:16:42.66
and they want
to persecute people
00:16:42.70\00:16:44.77
who don't fit in with
their way of thinking.
00:16:44.80\00:16:50.24
That's the very
essence to me of Antichrist.
00:16:50.27\00:16:52.47
I don't believe in this.
00:16:52.51\00:16:54.71
Jesus is a Christ of love.
00:16:54.74\00:16:57.31
He doesn't compel us.
00:16:57.35\00:17:00.08
He says choose.
00:17:00.12\00:17:02.98
I don't believe that
the pope is the successor
00:17:03.02\00:17:06.02
of St. Peter.
00:17:06.05\00:17:08.02
I don't believe
he should be called
00:17:08.06\00:17:11.23
the Holy Father
00:17:11.26\00:17:15.23
because in John Chapter,
00:17:15.26\00:17:17.73
let me give you
the verse, 17:11.
00:17:17.77\00:17:23.71
He talks to God.
00:17:23.74\00:17:26.54
And He calls God Holy Father.
00:17:26.57\00:17:29.74
The pope
shouldn't accept the title,
00:17:32.85\00:17:34.62
Holy Father, sorry, Francis,
00:17:34.65\00:17:40.36
my apologies
00:17:40.39\00:17:41.92
but people shouldn't call you,
00:17:41.96\00:17:44.16
Holy Father because you
know you're not the Holy Father.
00:17:44.19\00:17:48.30
You know, God
is the Holy Father.
00:17:48.33\00:17:53.23
So I'm not trying to
make everybody mad with me.
00:17:53.27\00:17:55.64
I'm simply just
saying, can't we be reasonable
00:17:55.67\00:17:59.04
and consider some truths.
00:17:59.07\00:18:01.11
I don't believe in
praise for the dead,
00:18:01.14\00:18:04.45
such as they celebrate in Mexico
00:18:04.48\00:18:07.82
and other parts
around the world.
00:18:07.85\00:18:13.59
So what I'm saying
here today is this.
00:18:13.62\00:18:15.59
Can't we all love each other?
00:18:15.62\00:18:17.56
We love Roman Catholics.
00:18:17.59\00:18:19.46
We love the pope.
00:18:19.49\00:18:23.43
But can't we believe
the truths of the Bible
00:18:23.47\00:18:26.43
and can't we have the courage
00:18:26.47\00:18:29.97
to follow the
truths of the Bible?
00:18:30.01\00:18:31.77
Not all countries have religious
00:18:31.81\00:18:33.68
freedom and freedom of speech.
00:18:33.71\00:18:38.45
We have freedom of speech so far
00:18:38.48\00:18:39.91
and freedom of religion
00:18:39.95\00:18:41.28
in the United States of America.
00:18:41.32\00:18:44.59
But in many,
many other countries,
00:18:44.62\00:18:46.19
we do not have
full freedom of speech
00:18:46.22\00:18:48.19
and we do not have
full freedom of religion
00:18:48.22\00:18:51.26
in many, many other countries.
00:18:51.29\00:18:53.33
"Do you have a Roman
Catholic background?"
00:18:56.67\00:18:59.17
Hey, didn't you guess?
00:19:02.70\00:19:05.97
Yes, I have somewhat of a
Roman Catholic background.
00:19:06.01\00:19:08.78
My father was a very
strong Roman Catholic.
00:19:08.81\00:19:13.98
He was an altar
boy when he was a kid.
00:19:14.02\00:19:17.62
He learned Mass off by heart,
00:19:17.65\00:19:20.62
and he used to say it to me
00:19:20.66\00:19:22.59
and to the rest of
the family members.
00:19:22.62\00:19:25.19
Yes, I do have a
Roman Catholic background.
00:19:25.23\00:19:29.16
I could have become a
Roman Catholic priest.
00:19:29.20\00:19:34.94
But I discovered
the truth of the Bible
00:19:34.97\00:19:38.81
and finished the Roman
Catholic Church with me.
00:19:38.84\00:19:43.14
Now, of course, I've been
00:19:43.18\00:19:44.58
to many Roman
Catholic countries.
00:19:44.61\00:19:48.02
I love the
Roman Catholic people.
00:19:48.05\00:19:51.35
I've been to El Salvador.
00:19:51.39\00:19:54.29
After one of the
meetings in El Salvador,
00:19:54.32\00:19:58.59
in this great outdoor stadium
00:19:58.63\00:20:01.50
that seated 60,000 people
00:20:01.53\00:20:03.33
packed to the doors.
00:20:03.37\00:20:06.00
After one of those meetings,
00:20:06.03\00:20:07.67
the Vice President of
the nation stayed behind.
00:20:07.70\00:20:11.11
And she was a Roman Catholic.
00:20:11.14\00:20:13.61
She loved what I was preaching.
00:20:13.64\00:20:17.45
If you listen to
what I'm preaching,
00:20:17.48\00:20:19.28
you'll agree
with what I'm saying,
00:20:19.31\00:20:21.15
my friend.
00:20:21.18\00:20:22.92
I'm opposed to bigotry.
00:20:22.95\00:20:25.05
I want people to
expand their minds
00:20:25.09\00:20:28.56
and to think God's
thoughts after him.
00:20:28.59\00:20:31.63
The Vice President of
El Salvador said to me,
00:20:31.66\00:20:33.90
Pastor Carter, please
keep the meetings going.
00:20:33.93\00:20:38.27
Please come back
00:20:38.30\00:20:40.27
because we've
got so many problems
00:20:40.30\00:20:41.90
here in this
country of El Salvador,
00:20:41.94\00:20:43.54
so many gangs, so much violence,
00:20:43.57\00:20:45.34
so much crime, so many drugs.
00:20:45.37\00:20:48.84
She said we need you
to come and preach here.
00:20:48.88\00:20:53.25
She was a Roman
Catholic talking to me saying,
00:20:53.28\00:20:55.75
"We need you to
come and preach here."
00:20:55.78\00:20:58.59
So I love Roman Catholic people
00:20:58.62\00:21:02.59
and that's why I'm
talking these things
00:21:02.62\00:21:04.69
because I want my
Roman Catholic friends
00:21:04.73\00:21:07.60
and my Protestant
friends to get back
00:21:07.63\00:21:10.73
to Christ in the Bible.
00:21:10.77\00:21:12.10
"Why is there so much pedophilia
00:21:15.14\00:21:18.14
among Roman
Catholic Church leaders?"
00:21:18.17\00:21:21.18
Well, I think I
could add to the question,
00:21:25.28\00:21:27.32
say, why is there
so much pedophilia
00:21:27.35\00:21:29.35
in the world generally?
00:21:29.38\00:21:32.02
Because Protestant churches
00:21:32.05\00:21:33.39
had their problems
too with pedophiles.
00:21:33.42\00:21:37.19
We see pedophilia all
the way through society today
00:21:37.23\00:21:40.43
is because people
have gotten away from God
00:21:40.46\00:21:43.16
and they've gotten
away from the Word of God.
00:21:43.20\00:21:46.84
But you ask me about
the Roman Catholic Church.
00:21:46.87\00:21:48.77
Yes, it's had its fair share
00:21:48.80\00:21:51.04
of pedophiles among the priests.
00:21:51.07\00:21:53.11
We all know this.
00:21:53.14\00:21:56.18
This has been true
00:21:56.21\00:21:57.55
in the United States of America.
00:21:57.58\00:21:59.35
It's been true in Australia.
00:21:59.38\00:22:01.62
It's been true in Europe.
00:22:01.65\00:22:03.92
It's been true in Ireland.
00:22:03.95\00:22:07.06
Thousands of
pedophiles abusing children.
00:22:07.09\00:22:10.89
And this is not a
criticism of Roman Catholics.
00:22:15.23\00:22:17.87
It is a criticism of
the sinful human heart.
00:22:17.90\00:22:22.34
Man without God
00:22:25.34\00:22:27.54
is a very sinful person.
00:22:27.58\00:22:31.75
The human soul is very
black and dark without God.
00:22:31.78\00:22:36.02
Whether you are Protestant,
00:22:36.05\00:22:37.72
or whether you
are Roman Catholic,
00:22:37.75\00:22:40.26
whether you are Hindu,
whether you are Muslim.
00:22:40.29\00:22:45.69
Having said this
about pedophiles,
00:22:45.73\00:22:49.13
I would hasten to say
the Roman Catholic Church
00:22:49.16\00:22:52.20
has had some
wonderful Roman Catholic priests
00:22:52.23\00:22:56.71
and I respect them.
00:22:56.74\00:22:58.61
I've met some of them.
00:22:58.64\00:23:01.24
Some of them, I believe,
being the saints of God.
00:23:01.28\00:23:05.25
The problem, my
friend, with the pedophile
00:23:05.28\00:23:09.08
and all of these other deviances
00:23:09.12\00:23:12.09
is the problem of sin.
00:23:12.12\00:23:16.16
There's only one person
who's got the solution to sin.
00:23:16.19\00:23:20.10
It's not the pope.
00:23:20.13\00:23:22.43
It's not the
leader of my church.
00:23:22.46\00:23:24.63
It's not some minister.
00:23:24.67\00:23:29.10
Any person
who's got the solution
00:23:29.14\00:23:31.14
to the problem of sin
00:23:31.17\00:23:33.27
is Jesus Christ our Lord,
00:23:33.31\00:23:37.51
who died for our
sins with His own blood
00:23:37.55\00:23:41.72
has suffered for us on the cross
00:23:41.75\00:23:45.19
and who right now
is our High Priest.
00:23:45.22\00:23:48.89
Therefore, my
message is, come to Him,
00:23:48.92\00:23:53.83
believe in Christ.
00:23:53.86\00:23:57.10
He believes in you.
00:23:57.13\00:23:59.40
More to come.
00:23:59.43\00:24:00.77
Jesus said, "All
authority has been given to Me
00:24:16.95\00:24:20.22
in heaven and on earth.
00:24:20.26\00:24:22.42
Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations,
00:24:22.46\00:24:26.83
baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son,
00:24:26.86\00:24:30.83
and of the Holy Spirit."
00:24:30.87\00:24:34.60
John Carter reports,
00:24:34.64\00:24:36.37
"We have seen God's
power as the Gospel of Christ
00:24:36.40\00:24:39.61
has been proclaimed in Africa,
00:24:39.64\00:24:43.41
India, Russia,
00:24:43.45\00:24:48.52
Ukraine, Cuba,
00:24:48.55\00:24:54.42
El Salvador, and
many other places.
00:24:54.46\00:24:58.13
We invite you to partner with us
00:24:58.16\00:25:01.13
in proclaiming Jesus Christ."
00:25:01.16\00:25:03.20
To God be the glory,
00:25:06.90\00:25:09.94
great things He has done.
