It had been my desire to provide a source of encouragement on my blog, but the news today was more than I could handle and believe that the truth must be given forth here as well!!
QUOTE from FoxNews on May 13, 2008 with full article found HERE—-
“Evangelical leader John Hagee, one of John McCain’s highest-profile supporters from the religious right, has apologized for comments he made that were offensive to Catholics.
In a letter Monday to Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights, Hagee wrote, “I want to express my deep regret for any comments that Catholics have found hurtful.”
Pastor Hagee, leader of San Antonio’s Cornerstone Church, has often made references to “the apostate church” and the “great whore,” terms that Catholics say are slurs aimed at the Roman Catholic Church.
In his letter, Hagee said he now better understands that the Book of Revelation’s reference to the Catholic Church by those two terms are “a rhetorical device long employed in anti-Catholic literature and commentary.” (Emphasis added by The Desert Pastor)
“Neither of these phrases can be synonymous with the Catholic Church,” he wrote.” - END QUOTE
***************
Once again, another so-called evangelical has turned down the path towards the apostate church! Charles Spurgeon made a comment which in essence noted that once a church begins the downward slide toward apostasy, it rarely ever comes back from the brink of destruction!
John Hagee, one of the wonder-boys of evangelicalism for so long has now defected to the approval of the evil one and his minions which include all teachers of heresy and doctrine which damns souls to a Christ-less eternity. This DOES INCLUDE the Roman Catholic Church. (For further info on the heresy in the RCC, visit WordNVerse!
As a self-professed Protestant, he has decided the better option is to start back down the path which allows Protestants and Catholics to re-embrace, join hands for the better good, etc, etc, ad nauseum! The path so many are taking back to the harlot seen in Revelation is not really so worrying though because the Bible prophesies that in the end times these things would take place within the true professing church.
It is sad to see that a man who was well-respected and well-loved has sold out his flock, his ministry, and his testimony, and his own conscience for the sake of being accepted by the pope and the RCC. All for one and one for all — UNITY AT THE EXPENSE OF DOCTRINE!!!
For those true believers who are observant and watchful, may I recommend you keep your eyes to the skies as we wait for the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ for our redemption draws near! And it may be nearer than we believe! Praise be to the Almighty, the King of Creation!
Longing for my Lord Jesus Christ’s return,
The Desert Pastor
