"Conclusion"
It
is obvious by even this brief glimpse into the doctrines of mortal and venial sins, confession, penance, and purgatory, that
the Roman Catholic Church has constructed one of the most unbiblical doctrinal systems that has ever been considered "Christian".
The fear, anguish, and religious bondage that such a system of "reward and punishment" creates, has tormented millions of
lives for centuries, and continues to prey on those who are ignorant of the biblical way of salvation.
To merely call
such a system "a cult", would be to throw it into the vast category of religions and quasi-religions that are currently making
the rounds of our college campuses and city streets, snatching up many an unsuspecting youth. No, the Roman Church is not
a cult. It's an empire!
With its own ruler, its own laws, and its own subjects! The empire has no borders, it encompasses
the globe with its eye on every person who does not vow allegiance. It calls the members of other faiths "separated brethren"
(The term used by Vatican II to describe the members of Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Protestant churches.) and has as its
goal the eventual bringing together of everyone under its flag.
I know that many will not be convinced or moved by
this article (or any of the others) to make such a conclusion. They are impressed by what they've heard about recent stirrings
among the Catholics in the "charismatic renewal". Many evangelicals (especially Charismatics) have been thrilled by the reports
of Catholics speaking in tongues, dancing in the Spirit, having nights of joy and praise, even attending "charismatic masses".
Mouths
that used to speak out boldly against the Church of Rome have been quieted by the times. It no longer is in vogue to speak
of the pope as "the antichrist" (Although the following people unhesitatingly did: Martin Luther, John Bunyan, John Huss,
John Wycliffe, John Calvin, William Tyndale, John Knox, Thomas Bacon, John Wesley, Samuel Cooper, John Cotton, and Jonathan
Edwards.) or the Catholic Church as the "whore of Babylon". Now Protestants unwittingly believe that "our differences are
not so great". Ah, that is just what She needs us to think!
I've never completely understood why God led me to write
these articles. But it becomes more clear with each day of study, and each page of research. Never has something so black
and wicked, gotten away with appearing so holy and mysteriously beautiful . . . for so long!
I want to put the "Conclusion" of this work first being that it is usually edited out. This will show how really
dangerous Keith Green was to Rome. "Conclusion" It is obvious by even this brief glimpse into the doctrines of mortal and
