Dr. Phil,
I'm not disagreeing with you. If you read again my post, I did say the Muslim message was poison.

However, we can't complain at Muslims doing door-to-door "evangelism". We do it too! It's just that what they're peddling is so poisonous.

You've got that wrong, Dr Phil. Sacred Tradition doesn't supercede scripture, the two complement each other.
And so it should be, since they both derive from the same source.

"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by traditions from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot."

No, it wasn't Chuck Colson, just the pastor of the Baptist church I attended.

I don't see how. It doesn't resemble anything the Pope teaches or Catholics believe.

I heard a Baptist preacher give a similar statement to that of the Vatican.

Let me guess. Was it Chuck Colson? He is always giving similar statements to that of the Vatican. He is one of their greatest advocates. The SBC must be proud.

independent efforts by several different elements of the military to

Are you suggesting that only capitalists can be Christian?

Are you suggesting that Marxists who oppose all religions can be Christian? Consider the following statement from Dr. Jones "Assessment of Black Theology":
"Advocates of the religion of black power, for instance, appear to replace the Christian ontology of love with an ontology of powerism. In this connection, it is noteworthy that Joseph Washington, who makes the biblical model normative for black theology, concludes that Marx's concept of power is a necessary supplement to the biblical ontology."

Karl Marx did not deny the following accusation against communism, because this is the logical conclusion of it tenets:

". . .communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience". The Communist Manifesto

By the same logic that the CA Supreme Court used to defend the constitutional "right" of same-sex couples to marry, you could also defend the right of polygamous marriages or even "inter-species" marriage. After all, "permitting inter-species couples access to the designation of marriage will not deprive same-species couples of any rights. . !" Once you allow marriage to be given a 'fluid' rather than a 'fixed' definition according to the whim of society, who's to say where it will stop?

Dr. Phil,
"I agree. The Papacy is the Antichrist."
Where then does Islam fit in? That too has historically been treated as "the Antichrist of the East"
In my view we must look at both phenomena: the Papacy, and Islam. Possibly the corrupt Eastern churches should be thrown in too, because Constantinople, the seat of the Byzantine patriarchs, was called "the second Rome", and Moscow after 1472 was trumpeted by the Russian tsars as "the third Rome".
If the Harlot woman of Rev.17 represents corrupt Christendom, as I believe it does, then we cannot look exclusively at the Roman papacy, but the totality of corrupt Christianity. And the interesting thing is that all of it has one name written across it: ROME!
BTW ml is right about Ribera and futurism, and we need to mention that another Counter-Reformation Jesuit started off the radical Preterist idea, viz. Alcazar.

The Papacy is the Anti-Christ
In 1590, Ribera published a commentary on the Revelation as a counter-interpretation to the prevailing view among Protestants which identified the Papacy with the Antichrist. Ribera applied all of Revelation but the earliest chapters, to the end of time rather than to the history of the Church. Antichrist would be a single evil person who would be received by the Jews and would rebuild Jerusalem…Ribera denied the Protestant Scriptural Antichrist (see 2 Thessalonians 2) as seated in the church of God…He set on an infidel Antichrist, outside the church of God…The result of [Ribera's] work was a twisting and maligning of prophetic truth …Jesuit scholar, Cardinal Robert Bellarmine (1542-1621) followed Francisco Ribera. Through the work of these two tricky Jesuit scholars, a brand new baby was born named "Jesuit Futurism." In fact, Francisco Ribera has been called the Father of Futurism.
