"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the
power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which
dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And
he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the
means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to
the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to
give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should
both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the
beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and
poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or
the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him
that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number
of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six".
- Revelation 13:11 to 13:18 KJV
I used to be Catholic, and
I have nothing per se' against Catholics. Some Catholics I know from my
experience in the
Kairos ministry
are the most beautiful,
loving people I have ever known. However, many Catholics do not really know what
the "official" position of the Church is on many things they know in their heart
and believe to be true. For example:
 |
In 1947 the
Catholic Church printed a pamphlet titled "Psychiatry
and Confession",
which glorified the practice of psychiatry; a profession that most
people would agree is a step above Tarot Card reading as far as
being "scientific" is concerned (see
literature from CCHR). However, this little pamphlet went a bit
off-topic, and (with the blessing of the Pope) stated that God used
"evolution" to create Man - a position that is a direct
contradiction of the Biblical account in Genesis. Get a
reprint of this pamphlet
and see. |
Of one thing there is no doubt: CONTROVERSY PREVAILS. The Bible says that
God created Man "in His image, and in His
likeness". Unless you believe that God is a one-celled organism,
or a bit of "protoplasm", then either Man has always been Man, or the Bible
is trash.
The same goes for the Book of Revelation - either it is ALL TRUE, or
it is BALONEY; either it means what it says, or we are left to script our
own interpretations. If you want to know precisely what you would have to
hold as true to believe in "evolution", get my book "The
Book of NeoGenesis".
The Bible speaks of the Antichrist or "deceiver" in many different places.
In a society dominated by the Roman Empire, "the number of his name".
