Unmasking Catholicism
Dear
Brothers in Christ,
Thank you for William
Tyndale's treatise on the Antichrist. I have great love and
admiration for William Tyndale. I used to be a Roman Catholic nun. I left
the convent, and then left the Catholic Church. Now I am a born-again
Christian. I have recently published a book called "Unmasking
Catholicism." I thought you might be interested in it.
I created a website for
the book, so you can read it online.
http://www.UnmaskingCatholicism.com
My style is
to be deliberately understated. Some readers are able to
handle strong confrontation. Others are not. I use a more gentle
approach. I am trying to reach people who would find your website too
strong to handle.
There are some people
that I would refer to your website because it is
exactly what they need.
May the Lord bless you,
your family, and your ministry.

Futurism Rampant
Do you know
of any churches in my area that preach historicism? I haven't found any yet.
Almost every church I know of believes in futurism. The more the Spirit of God
reveals to me about the present apostasy and false teachings, such as futurism,
the more grieved I become when I hear such teaching.
I've tried attending women's fellowship meetings so I can make Christian friends. The leader of one protestant group started praising the pope, so I stopped attending. I tried another group and had to listen to a forty minute exposition on futurism.

Looking for some help
I have just
been referred to your website, and am trying to read through your articles
ASAP. Thank you for all the information you have painstakingly compiled. I
have been doing the same for many years, and am amazed at the level of
deception in the Christian community regarding the End Times, Revelation and
the Anti-Christ.
I have been
searching for information to help me in a debate that has been ongoing between myself and a man who runs a website claiming to prove that
all historicists and amillennialists are servants of the anti-christ and going
to hell. One of the most blatant and frustrating claims being made by this
person and others is:
-- That all claims re: Jesuit foundations
of futurism are pure fabrication.
-- He claims that Ribera was not a
Jesuit,
-- was never published by the Catholic
Church and,
-- states Ribera
claimed that the Pope was the anti-christ.
The
information I am looking for is:
1. anything published that actually ties Ribera to the Jesuits
2. proves
that the Jesuits were actually commissioned to counter the "Pope as
anti-christ" views of the Reformers,
3. documentation that the Catholic Church published and
re-printed Ribera's book
4. any actual quotes direct from Ribera's book stating the
anti-christ is a single future individual.
Once again
anything you can offer to help is greatly appreciated.
You asked
for a little background, so here goes... I grew up in a Non-Denominational
Christian Church. My dad was a deacon, then eventually an Elder. We were
all introduced to the pop-Christianity "star wars" end times
theologies (I.e. dispensationalism), and as a teenager I read Lindsey and
others right along with Tolkien and Lewis. It didn't
dawn on me until much later that they had much more in common than I realized
at the time.
I went to
As far as my own beliefs, the one thing I am sure of is that Dispensationalism and its many siblings is a trap, a devilish diversion that diverts the attention of well meaning Christians away from the power of Christ in this world now by getting them to focus on some future intervention.

Iconbusters informative and Bold
Dear Rand:
I read your
Website with great interest and find it very informative. I am thankful
for people like you who are not afraid to speak the Truth and warn True
Christians of the Fraud Artists. It is nice to know that you are not
filled with fear as you warn others of the Deceitful Wolves in Sheep’s
Clothing. I am sure God gives you Boldness. Please keep up with Warning the
Innocent of the Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing. I wish you would warn all people,
especially those in the churches who keep supporting those who fleece the
flock. Many Christians are not aware of being defrauded by many
Tele-Evangelists, etc. Thanks a million for your great information.

I came
across your site, and was impressed. The truth of what you say is

An Angry Arminian Re-invents ‘Election’
If you're
forced to rely on reducing Gods plan of salvation, that even a child is able to
understand and receive, to a flashy catch-phrase, such as TULIP...Then your religion is false. So I suppose you
are one of the elect?...consigning the rest of
humanity to endless sadistic torture for always. So God hates people, except
the elect. Or could it be, that the elect, are those who will have the right to
share the throne and rule with Christ, and the rest, just fortunate enough to
just escape with their lives? Christ shed his blood for all. Whatever you do,
you cannot, and will not prove by scripture that he shed his blood only for the
elect. John 3;16 says, WHOSOEVER-- So stop spreading these heresies and repent
of your sin of claiming that YOU alone are worthy to spend eternity with Christ
while cunningly feigning false humility by consigning it as God's work alone.
You can't help it if God finds your ass special, right? Everyone will be there.
Many are called to rule, but only a few will be chosen to share the throne of
Christ.

Dear Rand,
I have
become a recent convert to Calvinism which is truly a work of God in itself, as
I was involved in the Charismatic Movement at one point. That’s how I know that
the Calvinist Gospel is true, and that God is the one who saves regardless of

What a Shame Christ Cannot Save
What a
shame you can’t see past the end of your own ridiculous beliefs. I am 23 and have struggled many years to know
and understand the Lord and I have many years to go. But I do know this, even though Jesus died
for our sins and they are already forgiven us, it does no good unless we accept
it. The Bible says it so very
plain. Love the Lord your God with all
your heart. You must be saved and
believe that Jesus is Lord or the forgiveness of your sins is futile and you
will spend eternity in Hell. It is a
gift that must be accepted. It is not
forced upon us. Do you not believe what
the Lord himself said? So while you are
out bashing other people for preaching in something you don’t agree with,
remember it is not you who decides the fate of any man. But the Lord decides theirs,
and yours for that matter.
Still
believing,

A Catholic Proves Idolatry is Biblical

The Scarlet Beast Exhausted From Praying to 80-Foot Babylonian Stone God He Calls 'Jesus.'
You have
this statement under a picture of a statue of Jesus Christ on your
website. How dare you call a 3-dimensional depiction of Jesus a
Babylonian Stone God! A Babylonian Stone god would be shaped like a
Babylonian Stone god. This stone is shaped in the image of Jesus
Christ, the True God. The statue is not Jesus Himself but a
depiction. If depictions are idolatrous, then all photos
and pictures are idolatrous. We don't idolize the statue--that
is an ostrich kind of stupidity. There is nothing wrong
with viewing Jesus Christ as we do our loved ones for simple and
excellent reasons: to remember them fondly with love. Your suggestion
that Catholics idolize such statues as though the statues themselves
were God is the cheesiest fantasy ever concocted.
Your
website is hateful and blasphemous. Shame on you.
You criticize what you don't understand and stubbornly refuse to
believe. Jesus says, "Do not persist in your unbelief, but
believe!" Accept the doctrines of Jesus or you'll surely perish in
your unbelief!

Iconbusters the ones deceived
I'm sure you will not want
to take this message to heart, but, reading your information was a big mistake
of mine and it tells me that YOU are the one who needs to seek the Lord for HIS
TRUE interpretation of the Bible. Your very attitude indicates you know nothing
about Jesus Christ or his word. You are one of many of Satan's deciples trying to turn people away from the Lord. But, you
know, if you have truly read the Bible, Christians have already won.
SATAN is defeated and he can't stand it. His time is limited and he is
using people, like yourself, to blindly stumble in the
dark to misinform others about God and his Word.

News from a
Dear
brother Rand,
How are
you? Thank you for your latest flash film. It’s great and should so a little
stirring. Hopefully more of God’s sheep will find their way home.
We have had
a very wet summer with much flooding in parts of the country. People have lost
their homes down swollen rivers; some were one hundred years old. Farmers have
lost thousands of cows and sheep. Perhaps the Lord is telling us something. One
man whose third generation home went floating down river, said, The Lord giveth
and the Lord taketh away. Others curse and know
not the Lord. Men in our day are far from the true and everlasting God. Many of
them will rebuild their lives in the same place of danger. How foolish. It is
like the church that is building its faith on a corrupt Antichrist system. They
see not the danger and will not take note when warned. Instead they respond in
anger. What a great falling away we are seeing. It seems there are but a few
who stand strong in the Word and in the joy of His calling. The Lord’s return
seems so near. What joy fills our hearts. Come, Lord
Jesus.
This week
we are publishing a full page ad in our local newspaper describing who we are
and what we stand for. Please pray with us that those scattered sheep who are lost and have not been able to find their way will
read it.
Well,
Take care,

A Believer’s Thoughts
I admire the
fact that you are bold enough to publish the truth about Roman Catholicism.
That's what I like: Truth. I am not content with ignorance. The Word of
the Lord says, My
people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Thanks for the
information. I wish more people will see Roman Catholicism for what it is
and not what they perceive it to be. It is "the world's deadliest
cult" - borrowing from an excerpt of a book on the world's deadliest cult.
I was
reading some of the letters of Love,
Threat and Hate Mail; though my sympathy is unsolicited by those who hate
truth, by the love of Jesus Christ in me, I can not help but feeling pity for
them. What I find appalling is that people refuse to seek truth.
They are content with lies as long as they sound reasonable.
Anyone who
loves God loves truth. God's Word is Truth! If those who oppose the
truth you publish on Roman Catholicism would only read their Bible, then I’m
sure they would jump on the bandwagon to help publish the information by word
of mouth, or by the means you use, or by any other legitimate means. Covering
up the lies of Roman Catholicism is not helping its defenders, nor anyone who needs to know the truth about them. The Word
of God said the man of sin WILL be
revealed.
God has
"had it" with this world. He is about to put and end to
sin. I am happy about that. On the other hand, I am very sad for
those who will not see the Light as presented in God's Truth, so that they can come out of her my people and be not
partakers of her sins, that ye receive not of her
plagues. Your opposers need to read Revelation, chapters thirteen to nineteen prayerfully, and ask the
Spirit of God to lighten their dark understanding so they can obey God before
it's too late.
It is
comforting to know that, according to Revelation,
chapter seven, many will come out of

A Protestant Speaks Out
Hey
brother,
I read all of your hate
mail on you site and the one that I loved the best was the one inquiring about
your level of education, like that is a prerequisite for speaking about
anything in the realm of religion. I'm sure Paul would have been
asked the same questions by some today.
I have completed work at
the post-doctorate level and I always hide this fact from those I come in
contact with. In so doing I dodge the "idol effect" that seems
to grip a great many people because you have a piece of paper from some
institute, most of which support the doctrines of the great whore in the first
place. In times past some have asked me about my qualifications and
I said I would answer that question when they "showed me their qualifications and credentials to lead me to
believe they can question my theological position from a real historical and
theological foundation and not from the rhetoric they hear proclaimed from a TV
show, pulpit, or prophecy book."
I'm
presently living in
Disowned,
disfellowshipped, and de-ordained, by fundamental Baptists and Dallas
Theological Seminary when I publicly came against the false doctrines
promulgated by the College, their professors, and prominent authors after
several years to test their material by the letter of Scripture and
history. I also mentioned the adulterous relationship with the
Masons that a majority of the SBC ministers have that are graduates of
this college. Needless to say, I was not asked to come back and
that if I desired graduate school it surely wouldn't be there.
I picket
Benny Hinn crusades and have been doing such since 1997. I'm also a thorn
in the side of Hagin, Dollar, Savelle,
and similar ilk. Copeland refuses to speak to me anymore since I got in
his face once. Through my local newsletter I've identified the
local wolves that come and go and have thoroughly marked most of them.
However, Pentecostalism is deeply rooted as well as
Paganism. Idolatry is rampant in these islands.
