TOP "EVANGELICAL" LEADERS INFLUENCED HEAVILY BY JESUITS
I simply call this travesty and betrayal, the "invasion of the soul snatchers". Biblical Christianity is NEVER to equate or accept, a hob-gobbled mixture of antichrist dogmas, doctrines and evil practices, with authentic Christianity. What I have gleaned lately (though I discerned that there was a major problem years ago) is confirmation of how certain "evangelical leaders" have either been completely duped and brainwashed by Jesuit-Catholic mysticism OR they are in fact, Jesuit coadjutor moles, who have been given the mission to destroy Bible-based, Protestant Christianity! Quotes from Norman Geisler books indicating his respect and sympathies with Catholicism. Geisler actually went to a Jesuit school...go figure! Now I realize why he and Hank Hannegraf, recognize and embrace Catholicism and it's many ancient and some of it's current "theologians" admirably, rather than critically expose Rome's dangerously false teachings and idolatries.
The greater evangelical church is being brainwashed, undermined and destroyed by such men. This is not a call to anger or to militancy against the Catholic Church. WE MUST NOT RETURN EVIL FOR EVIL...WE MUST LOVE OUR ENEMIES! This is a call to discernment and to Biblical orthodoxy, and to remember why it was that millions of born-again Christians were aggressively hunted and martyred by the Vatican over the centuries: because they would not believe nor bow to their heretical, extra-biblical dogmas, STILL held by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. The Lord DOES NOT WANT US TO BE JOINED SPIRITUALLY IN ANY WAY WITH THE ROMAN CHURCH! We may agree in many areas but in extremely foundational ways, Bible believers differ drastically from the RCC, which is why our ancestors "protested" the doctrines and dogmas of the RCC and risked life and limb to do so! WE DON'T BASH ROMAN CATHOLICISM, THOUGH EVEN AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS, THEY BASH US AND OUR BELIEFS! Everyone has the God-given right to believe whatever they want. We must be kind and loving to all people but we are commanded NOT to be "unequally yoked" with such institutions, in a spiritual way. Yes, we can cooperate in temporal and political causes upon which we truly agree, although a large portion of Catholics disagree with the "conservative teachings" of their own church. At higher, spiritual levels we don't agree on key biblical doctrines and cannot be "one," with them, no matter what "evangelical leader" says so. Nor should we spiritually accept their teachings or representatives. For centuries, Rome has been cleverly seducing many Protestant movements and "evangelical leaders" to compromise the Gospel and to lead others astray. The RCC STILL teaches that Catholicism is the only true Christian religion and that there is no salvation outside of it. It's agents are simply trying to cause true Bible believers to compromise whatever "faith" they may still have, let alone understand.
Jesuit-trained Evangelical Leader President Norman L. Geisler's Role in Destroying Evangelical Christianity in America. written by By Rick Friedrich, Jan. 1 2008:
..."Catholics and evangelicals share a common core of beliefs about salvation. ... For both groups salvation is by grace and is not prompted by human works. It comes as a gift of God to undeserving humanity" (pp. 81, 103, 104).
"Since evangelicals and Roman Catholics have so much in common doctrinally and morally ... we believe that there are, nonetheless, many areas of common spiritual heritage and practical social and moral cooperation possible. ... In this final section we wish to end on a positive note, firmly believing that a cooperative effort between Roman Catholics and evangelicals could be the greatest social force for good in America. ... Our common doctrinal and moral beliefs are too large and the need in America for a united voice on them is too great for us to dwell on our differences to the neglect of crucial cooperation needed to fight the forces of evil in our society and our world. ... Even the most reactionary of Protestant fundamentalists has more in common with Cardinal John O'Connor and John Paul II than with Joan Campbell and John Spong" (pp. 357, 358).
"Perhaps evangelicals felt a bit guilty when they realized they were 'Johnnie-come-latelies,' given the fact that Roman Catholics had been alert to the moral dimensions of the problem while their evangelicals neighbors were spiritually asleep" (p. 360).
These kinds of quotes were alarming to me and woke me up in a real hurry. Yet they were just what I needed to read to put the final pieces of the puzzle together. Now all the contradictory statements I had read in the past in the numerous publications make sense. Now I understand why Geisler never was a consistent Realist in theology and fellowship as he was more of in philosophy. Just looking at the back cover of the book and doing a little research on the names of those who recommended the book, should say a lot. Just look at all the Jesuits and connections with Jesuits and their agendas, and remember that Geisler got his Ph.D. from Jesuit Loyola University. While this may not bother some people there is much more to consider. Needless to say, I now realize the agendas evangelical leaders like Billy Graham, Chuck Colson, and Geisler have had over the years, and why things turned out the way they did. It was very clever and it worked.
I am not inclined to be one to stir up trouble but I was compelled to speak up for the truth at such a time as this. People like Geisler are often heard quoting Jude 3, which reads: "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write to you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write to you and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints." This is the hour to do this, and I will continue with the next verse: "For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ." Allow me, after my very long historical account, to introduce this subject and turn over the main points of concern. I will ask the question, what was the purpose of the Reformation and what does it mean to be a Protestant? Allow me to make a few more preliminary point before we focus on a main article on Geisler's website that calls us to "grant the Pope the respect he deserves, love him as a brother in Christ".
Southern Evangelical Seminary not only promotes Jesuit Theology and Agendas but also has some Professors that come from Jesuit schools.
The first example has already been mentioned, that the founder, former President, and biggest influence in the school is Norman Geisler, who got his Ph.D. from Jesuit Loyola University. Another example is the other philosophy professor Jason L. Reed who is Associate Professor of Philosophy. He went to the following schools:
B.A. Iowa State University
M.A.A. Southern Evangelical Seminary
M.A. St. Louis University-- a Jesuit school.
Ph.D. Candidate St. Louis University-- a Jesuit school.
Another big personality coming from SES, and still influencing it, is Lee Strobel who was given an honorary SES degree. Lee was the main speaker at the National Apologetics Conference in 2006 when I visited. Lee is a big name in apologetics, selling millions of copies of his books, and getting a lot of recognition. The following gives a review of one of his books. Just one quote that is relevant to the subject at hand:
"This is actually the reason that Strobel is able to bring in a Roman Catholic theologian (Peter Kreeft) and not have any issue with his thoughts on issues. Strobel really doesn't differentiate between the Catholics and Protestants but just merely continues to call them both 'Christians.'"
One final example is Frank Beckwith. He was the President of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) and resigned to go back to Roman Catholicism. Has this sort of thing not happened many times before? They pretend to be evangelicals, are raised up to high places and then later show their true colors after they do their damage. But notice what the present SES President has to say in the Introduction about such people and their defending the faith. He asks why do people come so far to such a school? He says for "training under some of the top apologists and Bible teachers in the country to evangelize the world and to defend the historic Christian Faith." Yet are not at least some of these men pushing for the Roman faith? And one finally rejoins it unambiguously. Where is Christian apologetics at SES??? What happened to defending the faith against the greatest enemy? As I have written elsewhere, the best way to beat the opposition is to create it and control it."
