We are losing the battle against the sodomite agenda because of our silence. Most of us would rather not even think about this nasty subject much less talk to a stranger about it.

Chick Publications has two tracts that state clearly God’s opinion of this abomination. They are Doom Town and Sin City. If every soul winner would place one of these tracts a day where others can read it, public opinion would begin to shift.

Jolly Old England Isn’t So Jolly Anymore A Message from Jack Chick

Dear ones in Christ, Recently, I was really stunned when one of our famous evangelists publically groveled before the Great Whore and claimed to the world that he was “misunderstood” about Roman Catholicism, that they were his “brothers and sisters in Christ,” and that he was sorry that he had implied that she was the Great Whore of Revelation. Was there an uproar from our valiant Protestant leaders for this strange flip-flop? Nope! Not even a peep. I wonder what Martin Luther and the other reformers would have said about this? Anyway, Rome sneered in delight and the Catholic League got what they wanted. But to other Catholics this evangelist is still branded a “heretic.” Rest assured, he will feel their wrath in the future. Beloved, nothing is as it appears. Remember the old Caesars of Rome, claiming to be gods, who hated born-again Bible believers? Well, over time the picture changed. But the Caesars ran the world then, and Caesar is still running the world from Rome today. He’s not wearing the old toga but now he is decked out in a religious costume and adored by the world. He still holds the title of deity, and, like the days of old, still controls the governments of the world. You ask, who is this new Caesar? His name is Pope Benedict XVI! Surprised? He’s the most powerful man on earth. He controls the media, the politics, world events, the UN and almost all the churches. His organization brilliantly destroyed Protestantism with the ecumenical movement. God calls this political/religious cult the mother of harlots—the Great Whore in Revelation 17. See Message From Jack... Page 16 16 BattleCry - July/Aug 08 Message From Jack... from page 15 Oh! My goodness! Did I offend somebody? This prostitute church is sending over a billion precious Roman Catholics into hell through her religious lies, perverting and hiding biblical truth from her captives, promising them heaven only if they remain faithful to her evil religious system. What does the Great Whore know of love and forgiveness? Those who leave the flock are called renegades, deserving death. One of the daughters of the great whore, Islam, is exactly like mama: death to those who leave. God tells us, “Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works” (Rev. 18:6). God calls us to expose her bloody history and tell of the millions who have suffered and died by her hands (Eph. 5:11). Rome is building a superchurch, pulling all churches and religions together for the antichrist. The great falling away (2 Thess. 2:3) is happening right before our eyes. Like that TV evangelist, the whole Evangelical movement is in danger of quietly crawling back to the Great Whore. Thank the Lord Jesus for those men of God who are still brave enough to expose this monster from their pulpits, because “in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and all that were slain upon the earth” (Rev. 18:24). Thousands of precious Roman Catholics have been saved and pulled out of this phony religious system through tracts and the Alberto comic books. Keep passing them out, beloved. We have to love them enough to warn them while there is time. Your brother in Christ
