The gospel is to be preached indiscriminately to the elect and to the reprobate: but the elect alone come to Christ, because they have been taught of God. - John Calvin

Rom 8:18-21, (NASB), For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
And some think the Roman Church is Christian
Only blind fools would call Rome and her ecumenical allies Christians. Rome and her allies are ALL enemies of Christ and His Gospel.
And he said , Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. John 6:65
More blasphemy from Rome!

This guy comes to the point where he says as a "bible believing christian" that he cant believe the pope would make the claims he did in this article.........what? Of course the pope is going to blend more evolutionistic crap to further the ecumenization of the world, not only its whorish daughters, but this step helps the whore ride the beast even better now..........for a time. Once the great beast has full economic control and the military might to enforce its will on those nations not directly aligned with it, it will then turn and destroy the whore since she is most definately going to be a drain financially speaking.
I hope we see it in our lifetime and that the Lord grants us the privelege and grace to suffer since we are His. But if this is yet another mini-portrait, either way, we will end up with the Lord.
Jn 14:23-24, (NASB)
Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, BUT The Father's Who sent Me.

You have to watch this all the way through. The best narratives on Churchianity come from these guys.
I just recenlty got a chance to watch the video posted about the Pope here and I compared it with their main reference, "The Jewish People and Their Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible." I do believe that the papacy is antichrist because of their forbidding of marriage and certain types of foods and possibly their Mariolatry. However, the video is slanderous. It's pretty clear that the maker of the video had absolutely no concern for accurately presenting what Benedict actually wrote. The paper itself was not a treatise on if Jews are saved or so forth. The paper was written in response to the Holocaust and about what the Christian attitude should be toward Jews. There is still a great deal of anti-semitism in certain parts of Europe. The video quotes this one little fragment from part of a sentence, "Christians can and ought to admit that the Jewish reading of the Bible is a possible one." The maker of the video then claims that Benedict is saying that we should read the Bible as Christ-denyers. But this isn't even the full sentence. In the sentences surrounding this statement it is clear that Benedict is saying the exact opposite of what the makers of this video interpret him as saying:
The horror in the wake of the extermination of the Jews (the Shoah) during the Second World War has led all the Churches to rethink their relationship with Judaism and, as a result, to reconsider their interpretation of the Jewish Bible, the Old Testament. It may be asked whether Christians should be blamed for having monopolised the Jewish Bible and reading there what no Jew has found. Should not Christians henceforth read the Bible as Jews do, in order to show proper respect for its Jewish origins?
In answer to the last question, a negative response must be given for hermeneutical reasons. For to read the Bible as Judaism does necessarily involves an implicit acceptance of all its presuppositions, that is, the full acceptance of what Judaism is, in particular, the authority of its writings and rabbinic traditions, which exclude faith in Jesus as Messiah and Son of God.
As regards the first question, the situation is different, for Christians can and ought to admit that the Jewish reading of the Bible is a possible one, in continuity with the Jewish Sacred Scriptures from the Second Temple period, a reading analogous to the Christian reading which developed in parallel fashion. Both readings are bound up with the vision of their respective faiths, of which the readings are the result and expression. Consequently, both are irreducible.
On the practical level of exegesis, Christians can, nonetheless, learn much from Jewish exegesis practised for more than two thousand years, and, in fact, they have learned much in the course of history.45 For their part, it is to be hoped that Jews themselves can derive profit from Christian exegetical research.
For whatever strength of arm he may have who swims in the open sea, yet in time he is carried away and sunk, mastered by the greatness of its waves. Need then there is that we be in the ship, that is, that we be carried in the wood, that we may be able to cross this sea. Now this Wood in which our weakness is carried is the Cross of the Lord, by which we are signed, and delivered from the dangerous tempests of this world.--St. Augustine
