POPE APPROVES VOODOO AND OTHER FALSE RELIGIONS

 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times
some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in
hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
(I Timothy 4:1-2)

  When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God
giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the
abominations of those nations. (Deuteronomy 18:9)

     Pope John Paul the II has again sent bizarre messages
to the Catholic Faith. In 1986 in Assisi, Italy, the Pope
joined in  a circle to pray and meditate with snake handlers
from Togo, shamans and tribal witch doctors from West
Africa, Hindu gurus from India, Buddhist monks from
Thailand, and liberal Protestant clergymen from Great
Britain. Many devoted Catholics were stunned and
scandalized, especially since the Pope also announced in
Assisi that there are "many paths to God."

     Now he's reaffirmed that same message. This time by
inviting world religious leaders to meet for a second time
in Assisi to pray for peace in Eastern Europe. On Jan 9 &
10, 1993, the Pope again hosted the Dalai Lama of Tibetan
Buddhism and representatives of many other false religions.
It was an incredible sight to see these weird persons, "holy
books" in hand, all standing serenely, side-by-side with the
Pope.

POPE ENDORSES VOODOO MAGICK AND RITUAL

     But amazingly, as if to underscore his message of unity
with false satanic religion, the very next month, February,
the Pope met in Africa with voodoo believers and sorcerers.
Here, as reported in the New Orleans "Times Picayune"
newspaper and in other daily newspapers across the U.S.A.,
is the Associated Press account of the Pope's visit to the
country of Benin, Africa:

POPE MEETS WITH VOODOO BELIEVERS

     'Cotonou, Benin (AP) - Pope John Paul II on Thursday
sought common ground with the believers in voodoo,
suggesting they would not betray their traditional faith by
converting to Christianity. (my note: Interesting that this
is the SAME statement that has been used through the
centuries to would-be converts to Catholicism from
witchcraft)

     'On the second day  of  his 10th African pilgrimage,
the pope held a dramatic end emotional meeting with the
priests of vodun, as the ancestral gods are known in the Fon
language.

     'Voodoo worshipers believe in on God but also in the
lesser deities. Snakes and fetishes are important in their
rituals.

     'The pope told the voodooists that just as they draw on
their ancestors for their religion, so do Christians revere
their 'ancestors in the faith, from the Apostles to the
missionaries.'

     'The "ancestors" of missionaries had their own faiths
before converting and lost nothing by becoming Christians,
he said.

     'Voodoo priests at the meeting warmly welcomed the
pontiff.

     '"I have never seen God, but today when I have seen the
pope, I recognize that I have seen the good God, who prays
for all voduns," said Sossa Guedehoungue, head of Benin's
vodun community. He wore a wooden crown painted gold, a long
pink robe and thick-framed eyeglasses.

     'Voodoo leader Senou Zannou gave a formal speech in
which he announced his son was becoming a Roman Catholic
priest. But he also offered a defense of his faith.

     '"God knows that vodun has nothing to do with the devil
or satan," he said.

     'Africans passing from Benin into slavery brought vodun
worship to Haiti and Brazil, where it mixed with Catholicism
and came to be called voodoo.

     'Earlier, on the first day of his journey, the pope led
an open-air Mass before 15,000 people in Parakou, about 235
miles north of Cotonou. He urged religious communities
working in Africa to strive to incorporate African cultural
expressions into Roman Catholic worship.'

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

     The Pope appears to be wonderfully tolerant in
accepting voodoo and Eastern religions as true pathways to
God. But what does the Bible say about such teachings? In
II Corinthians  6:14-15 we read:

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for
what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and
what communion hath light with darkness?

 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath
he that believeth with an infidel?"

     The whole testimony of the Bible is that consorting
with such hellish works, is in fact, the same as being in
league with the devil. For example, consider the voodoo
practice of  calling up the spirits. The Bible warns against
communicating with familiar spirits and ancestors from the
dead. This is called and "abomination" by God (seeDeut 18:10-
14; I  Sam. 28:1-25; Isaiah 8:19; IChron. 10:13-14; Micah 5:12-
15; Acts 16:16-18).

     The same harsh warnings are made in the Scriptures
against involvement in or acceptance of idol worship,
enchantments, shamanism, magic, wizardry, charms, and other
elements of voodoo religion (see Lev. 19:26; Jerm. 27:8-9;
Daniel 1:20; Rev. 21:8; Gal. 5:19-21; II Kings 17:17; Deut
18:10-12).

     The Bible sums up our individual responsibility by
commanding us, in a very powerful way: "And have no
fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove them." Ephesians 5:11

WHOM SHALL WE CHOOSE?

     The Bible says we are to have NO spiritual fellowship
with the false cults. The Pope says we can. So the question
becomes: WHOM shall we choose to be our inerrant guide - the
God of  Heaven, author of His perfect and inspired Word, or
the Pope, a man born in original sin like all the rest  of
us and a vessel of clay? If we answer that the Pope MUST be
right for he is God's vicar on earth, we commit a grave
error. No man is above God nor superior to His Holy Word.

     I am convinced from the mail that I receive that many
Catholics are themselves heartsick about the direction this
Pope has taken their church. They cannot go along with
voodoo magic and devilish Eastern religions. These good
people have been taught to respect and revere their "Holy
Father" in Rome, but they are shocked at what they see
happening within the Catholic establishment. With sincere,
broken hearts and often in tears, they phone and write me
asking, "Texe, what are we to do?"

WHAT ARE WE TO DO?

     In fairness, it should be said that Pope John Paul II
has also done much to deserve merit. For example, whereas
Billy Graham has compromised and refused to take a pro-life
stand, the Pope has repeatedly and courageously labeled
abortion as just what it is: "Violence and murder against
the unborn."

     Moreover, Pope John Paul has refused to give in to
demands by liberal clergy to ordain women priests. And in
Africa, the Pope boldly stood up to Moslem dictators in the
countries he visited, chastising them for their persecution
of native Christian believers.

     Anyone who has followed my ministry for any length of
time knows full well that I have never picked on any church
or denominational group. Without a doubt, God's people can
be found in many different churches and even outside our
traditional churches.

     But sadly, the doctrines of devils and the spirit of
evil and compromise are easily found in almost every
denomination - among Baptists, Episcopals, Presbyterians,
Assemblies of God, Methodists, Charismatics, and yes, in the
Catholic Church. In all these church groups can be found
leaders who have either compromised or have abandoned the
Bible and the true faith altogether.

     I plead with all those who are torn by loyalty to one
man or a particular church to set aside the inventions of
men, and instead, put Jesus Christ and His Word first in
their lives. The coming of the Lord is drawing near. Now is
not the time for compromise. This day, this very moment,
each of us must choose WHOM we will serve.


THE SECRET BROTHERHOOD HAS DECIDED: "THE POPE MUST GO"

     The Illumiati intends to establish on earth a false ONE
WORLD RELIGION of unity and diversity. Pope John Paul II's
approval of Hinduism, Buddhism and other false cults and
sects as legitimate pathways to God and his tolerance of the
ravages of voodoo magic within the Catholic Church are
completely in line with this conspiratorial goal.

     That is why I was so shocked when I recently unearthed
startling new evidence that the powerful men at the highest
echelons of the Secret Brotherhood have decided that this
Pope must go - he WILL fall. My sources reveal the
culmination of a fantastic plot to subvert and conquer the
traditional Catholic Church from within. If successful, the
way will be prepared for a WORLD CHURCH in which all faiths
and beliefs, even all gods, will be accorded equal
reverence.

     The conspirators want to depose Pope John Paul II and
replace him with a more flexible puppet leader in Rome. The
next Pope is to the "Anti-Pope," a diabolical religious man
who will do the exact bidding of the Illuminati without
reservation. This mind-boggling plot has profound
implications not only for 900 million people who are
Catholics, but for the whole world.

     There is so much  involved in this scheme to replace
the Pope that I cannot possibly reveal it all in the brief
pages of this newsletter.  If you would like our audio tape
