Smack Dab In The Middle Of The Apostasy

Smack Dab In The Middle Of The Apostasy by Sandy Simpson You can read the original article here: http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/smackdab.html Christianity Today ran the following article: 'Antichrist' No More: Evangelicals Praise Pope. Most are unreserved in their praise of political, social, and even theological matters, but a critique of papacy remains. Compiled by Ted Olsen, 04/05/2005 04:30 p.m. Among the names mentioned, who praise the Pope in this article, were "Evangelical" leaders such as: Evangelical Episcopalian Fred Barnes; Wheaton College's Mark Noll; Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod President Gerald B. Kieschnick; National Association of Evangelicals President Ted Haggard; Focus on the Family President James Dobson; Charles Colson who organized the evangelical side of the Evangelicals and Catholics Together; Paige Patterson, President of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; Presbyterian Church in America Pastor-brothers David and Tim Bayly; Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Al Mohler; Dallas Theological Seminary President Mark Bailey; Credenda Agenda Editor Douglas Wilson; and Evangelical Alliance, the United Kingdom's version of the stateside National Association of Evangelicals. The article quotes from a PBS Religion and Ethics Newsweekly poll done among "Christians". The question was who they admire most. This was their conclusion: Those who love James Dobson or Franklin Graham may love him more strongly than they like Pope John Paul II, but more evangelicals like John Paul II than like them. Prophet Rick Joyner also joined the fray with high praises for the pope in an article he wrote for Elijah List: BULLETIN: Rick Joyner on THE POPE'S PASSING, "One of the most remarkable leaders of our time . . . " by Rick Joyner, Steve Shultz (Apr 6, 2005) He stated that the pope is "a true saint" and that Pope John Paul II "clung to the cross".
