THE DIFFERANCE BETWEEN ROMAN CATHOLICS OF OLD VERSES ROMAN CATHOLICS OF TODAY |
End Time Prophecy Article |
The fundamental difference
between Roman Catholic's of Old verses Roman Catholics of today is
simply this: Today generally speaking; Roman Catholic's hear the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. It was just a half a century ago that Catholics
were officially allowed to hold their services in the native language of
the congregations. Before this their services were held in Latin. A
language a miniscule amount of Roman Catholics understood. Furthermore
in the last fifty years the Gospel of Christ has flooded the airwaves of
almost the entire planet. Obviously this has had a dramatic affect on
the nature of Roman Catholicism and all the other national and
international Catholicism's for that matter. Not only have untold
millions accepted Christ but even those who have not have had their
thoughts, attitudes and beliefs dramatically changed. On one side of the
coin one can still hold very negative opinions of this institution.
After all this imperial "church" was the creation of the very spirit of
the Anti-Christ. A tool of the false prophet and the beast of Revelation
to oppose the Gospel of Christ and the Government of God. It has the
blood of millions of the saints of God on it's hands and millions of
other innocents who were not believers. However this empire that Satan
constructed and lived through no longer exists. So on the flip side of
this coin we have some very good news, great news as a matter of fact.
That mountain of God that is filling the whole earth is even filling the
Roman Catholic church itself!! Not in the sense that the institution
itself is of God or even what could it be called an intelligent branch
of the Gods church. No not at all! In this sense though: Millions
of Roman Catholics are coming to Christ and will continue to do so.
Furthermore who knows how many tens of thousands of these view the
institution as their mission field and have used that institution for
that purpose. Beyond even this though, this whole scenario mirrors
the effects of the Government of God and the Gospel has in the world in
general. That in principle, although the institution has not rejected
all its falsehood and confessed its true roots. It has changed so much
that people generally be look upon it as a force for good in the world
rather than evil. Something that many a time is allied with believers
when it comes to the principles of the law and Gospel of God as it
relates to human government and culture. This is exactly the design of
the government of God in the earth. Not everyone will truly put their
trust in God and accept his grace. Yet so many of those non believers
will be so influenced by the lives and teachings of Christians that they
will accept and promote Judeo-Christian principles as the standard for
human culture and government. This can certainly be seen among
conservative Roman Catholics in general and even to some degrees in the
institution itself. In fact there is a culture war inside this
institution itself between those forces who ally themselves with
believers in general and the forces who ally themselves with the spirit
of antichrist so prevalent in liberal\democrat politics.
