US Catholic Bishops Deny Christ - Continued

A committee of bishops from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, and rabbis from the National Council of Synagogues, has been meeting in "dialogue" twice a year for over twenty years. On August 12 they published a document called, 'Reflections on Covenant and Mission,' which denied the need for Jesus Christ by saying, "Campaigns that target Jews for conversion to Christianity are no longer theologically acceptable in the Catholic Church."

One paragraph of the document says:

"Knowledge of the history of Jewish life in Christendom also causes such biblical texts as Acts 5:33-39 to read with new eyes. In that passage the Pharisee Gamaliel declares that only undertakings of divine origin can endure. If this New Testament principle is considered by Christians today to be valid for Christianity, then it must logically also hold for post-biblical Judaism. Rabbinic Judaism, which developed after the destruction of the Temple, must also be 'of God.'"

Some comments:

1. "Only undertakings of divine origin can endure." Hmmmm......I suppose Rome will sooner or later include Islam in "this New Testament principle," seeing Islam is almost 1500 years old.

2. Acts 5:33-39. As usual, the Catholic Church twists things by ignoring the context of this portion of scripture. The context is the apostles have been brought before an angry Jewish Sanhedrin for preaching Christ! Rome cleverly leaves out verse 40 which says, "AND WHEN THEY HAD CALLED THE APOSTLES, AND BEATEN THEM, THEY COMMANDED THAT THEY SHOULD NOT SPEAK IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND LET THEM GO."

I can only conclude the Catholic Church looks for guidance from meetings of those who decide to physically attack those who preach Christ, and forbids the preaching of Christ!

Keep praying God protects His children from the Roman Catholic Church, and that many (including Jews) realize the only available sacrifice for their sin is Jesus Christ.
