BEWARE - The Great Church One matter which came up at the Episcopalian Convention, which was held in Seattle recently, was that there had been six large denominations that had planned to merge, but now this number has grown to ten. They reported that they had one problem. They now want to invite the Roman Catholic and the Greek Orthodox Churches to also join with them. But the Roman Church states that there are several items in their proposed statement of belief which will need to be changed before they can accept the invitation. And the Episcopalians seemed anxious to see that every compromise was made so that the one large church could be formed. If you are a member of one of the merging churches involved, be sure of this - -- you will soon be a member of the great apostate church of Revelation 17 and 18. You may do what you can to keep your denomination from becoming a part of it but it surely looks like a losing cause. The next step will be to invite other religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, etc. These religions were invited as observers at the Vatican Council. Surely this is the time for you to obey the Lord's admonition to the Apostle Paul in II Corinthians 6:14-18 where He said: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?... Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." We are closer to the end of the Age than we realize. Give this message of warning to your entire church that they be not tempted to become ensnared, even if your denomination is not now involved. Catholics and all Protestants need to know where this compromising will end. ---------------
