“ Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.” (Compare Matt.6:22-23, Lk.11:34-36)

DID YOU KNOW Daniel prophesied: “...the ROBBERS OF THY PEOPLE shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.[?]” (11:14) Jeremiah identified them in 23:30: “Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that STEAL MY WORDS every one from his neighbor.” (Emphasis mine)

DID YOU KNOW Jesus said:

“ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites![?] for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.” (Mt. 23:27)

DID YOU KNOW when the high priest, Ananias, commanded the apostle Paul to be struck in the face, Paul answered, “God shall smite thee, thou whited wall....”[?] (Compare with Eze.13:10-16)

DID YOU KNOW Job censured the arrogant pretensions to superior know-ledge of his friends and advisors in 13:4-5? His advice?

“But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. (What’s interesting here is that “forgers” means “plaster-ers,” see p.472 of the Wycliffe Bible Commentary. Do these kind of men comprise part of the group that build the “wall” with “untempered mortar”?)

DID YOU KNOW that the Bible exhorts us to test all teachings (I John 4:1,6)[?], we are to expose those false teachings (Eph.5:11), confront and rebuke false teachers (Titus 1:9,13) and then separate from those who persist in false teaching (Rom.16:17, Titus 3:10), lest in the end, we are disqualified for service (2Tim.2:20-21), or worse yet, we are identified with the false teachings and the false teachers themselves (2 John 10-11) and therefore also partakers of their fate. (Jude 11-13)

DID YOU KNOW that in The San Francisco News of November, 1957, Dr. Billy Graham is quoted as saying:

“Anyone who makes a decision at our meetings is seen later and referred to a local clergyman, Protestant, Catholic or Jewish[?]” (Billy Graham and the Church of Rome, Paisley, 15).

DID YOU KNOW that Protestant Church Life reported Dr. Graham on September 6, 1956 as saying:

“We’re coming to New York not to clean it up, but to get people to dedicate themselves to God and then send them back to their own churches - Catholic, Protestant or Jewish[?]” (Billy Graham and the Church of Rome, Paisley, 15).

DID YOU KNOW: “

In the Pittsburgh Sun Tele-graph, September 6, 1952, Dr. Graham ‘stressed that his crusade in Pittsburgh would be interdenominational.[?]’ He said that he hoped to hear Bishop Fulton J. Sheen at one of the masses at St. Paul’s Cathedral tomorrow. He added, ‘Many of the people who reach a decision on Christ at our meetings have joined the Catholic Church and we have received commendations from Catholic publications for the revived interest in their Church following our cam-paigns”(Billy Graham and the Church of Rome, Paisley, 15).

DID YOU KNOW E.J.Grant writes:

“Mr. Graham is not a protestant by any stretch of the imagina-tion.[?] His betrayal of true Protestantism into the hands of such enemies of God as the National Council of Churches, and the old mother of harlots herself [Roman Catholicism] absolutely forbids that he be called a protestant. He has never had a word of protest against this chief enemy of the true saints of God, but has sent some of his converts into Roman Catholic Churches; also he has spoken in their colleges and he has the commendation of their bishops and of Cardinal Cushing, Boston, Massachusetts. In a crusade meeting in Montevideo he had a Roman Catholic bishop ‘bless’ each convert that came forward! Space forbids or we could tell of many incidents that displayed his double minded wickedness in ways altogether contrary to God’s way of truth and holiness. ‘A double minded man is un-stable in all his ways.’ Never form an opinion of Romanism by what she is in the U.S.A. Know her history for one thousand years back, and what she is in Mexico, South America and any nation where she holds sway; and more important know what God has to say of this evil system of lying doctrine, and its final end as the mother of harlots in Reve-lation chapter 18. Go to any of these Roman Catholic countries and see how Roman Catholicism has dulled the minds, heart and conscience of countless millions of souls with ignorance, super-stition and poverty’ (Billy Graham and the Church of Rome, Paisley, 30).

DID YOU KNOW that when asked why Billy Graham did not make more of the blood of Christ in his radio messages, W. H. Martindale, ‘Spiritual Counsellor’ at Dr. Graham’s Minneapolis headquarters replying for Dr. Graham said:

“There are many aspects of the Christian life that Mr. Graham does not touch upon because he does not believe that they are the duty and responsibility of the evangelist.[?] Mr. Graham believes that we are saved through the blood of Christ, however, this aspect of Christian doctrine he does not emphasize in his messages. This is the duty and prerogative of the pastors” (Billy Graham and the Church of Rome, Paisley, 56).

DID YOU KNOW that in the Catholic Herald of June 3rd, 1966, Dr. Graham is quoted as being a friend of the Jesuits in the U.S.A.? (No wonder...he helps to build up the Church of Rome)

DID YOU KNOW that Chuck Swindoll also has no qualms in endorsing the ecumenical efforts of Billy Graham? Swindoll “lent his support” to Graham’s 1985 Los Angeles crusade, and said that “God is speaking through Billy Graham.” Swindoll has also been a speaker at Graham’s “Schools of Evangelism”. Among other ecumenical efforts, Swindoll was listed as a speaker at the 1987 Congress on the Bible II, which featured a Roman Catholic speaker. (Calvary Contender 1/1/91 ). Swindoll also endorses the efforts of Mother Teresa.

DID YOU KNOW that Swindoll clearly shows his fascination with the New Age/occult in his book, Living Above The Level of Mediocrity? In this book, he praises a New Age mind control book by Roger van Oech titled A Whack on the Side of the Head (e.g., “you owe it to yourself to read it,” p.25), and freely endorses visualization (a popular technique of New Agers that has deep roots in the occult) as a technique for spiritual growth! In clearly New Age jargon, Swindoll describes visualization as one of the key high-powered secrets to success, and encourages those who want to break through the “mediocrity barrier” to “mentally visualize being on a higher plane” (p.29). Swindoll also favorably quotes Denis Waitley (Abraham: The Man of God, p.154), who encourages the use of “positive self-talk and “positive imagery” (both occult techniques).

DID YOU KNOW:

“The Pharisees were the legalists who focused on the past.[?] The Sadducees were the modernists who lived for the present. The Essenes were the isolationists who centered on separation. The Zealots were the political revolutionaries who enforced hostile aggression. Jesus repudiated all of these movements. He constantly challenged the Phariseees by teaching that pure religion was not a matter of external ritual and observance. He informed the Sadduccees that pure religion was not a product of human philosophy invented to accommodate the present day. He told the Essenes that pure religion was not total isolation, for true believers needed to mingle in the world while being careful to stay away from the evil in it (Jn.17:15). Finally, to the Zealots he said that pure religion was not a matter of social aggression and political activism. Jesus told everyone that his kingdom had a different origin and character than all earthly kingdoms. His kingdom had no physical boundaries but was on the inside! The kingdom of God was a spiritual one. The kingdom cannot be established through political maneuvers. I think most Christians realize this, but their actions speak louder than their words. Politics is not just working toward ideals of peace and justice, but also gaining power to realize those ideals. Attempting to establish the kingdom of Christ with the aid of political power, which would ultimately lead to hostile aggression and even violence, is to fight for a kingdom that Jesus wanted no part of. The result would be more power struggle, excessive prestige, and wars of self-interest” (The New Charismatics, Moriarty, 172-173).

DID YOU KNOW that many of the modern charismatics (who are leading spokesman for the ecumenical move-ment) teach that they are gods:

“...but many of the more visible charismatic leaders are promoting this doctrine openly.[?] Copeland, Hagin, Tilton, Capps and Paulk are among the leading preachers who espouse the “little gods” teaching. It is also significant that these men are popular televangelists whose teachings gets a wide hearing. The late Walter Martin has stated that the president of Trinity Broadcasting Network, Paul Crouch, has taught this doctrine openly and once spent almost two hours attempting to convince him and three other ministers that they were all little gods” (The New Charismatics, Moriarty, 321).

DID YOU KNOW that “Mary” appeared in 1531 to Juan Diego and gave this message:[?]

“Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection [Lk.13:34]? Am I not your fountain of life [Jn.4:10-14; 7:37-39; Jer.17:13]? Are you not in the folds of my mantle [Zeph.1:8]? In the crossing of my arms? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED [Jn.3:16]?” (The Wonder of Guadalupe, Johnston) (Emphasis mine)

DID YOU KNOW that according to The Secret of Mary by “St.” Louis de Montfort it says that “Mary is the shortcut to Christ”? In Preparation for Total Consecration, page 94,Montfort was reported to have said that “...the road by way of Mary is easier and more meritorious, it is shorter, surer, and more perfect...By submission to the Mother of God, a person makes greater progress”.
