Featured SI speaker Leonard Ravenhill on Catholicism

Evangelists today are wide-eyed to the might of Communism, but tight lipped at the menace of Romanism. America would shake from coast to coast in twenty-four hours if some preacher, anointed with the Holy Ghost, gave the Roman Catholic Church a broadside! We stir national interest against the cruel, half-civilized Mau Mau (wicked enough), but powwow with, and pander to, the Roman Catholic Church! These priests who dope mens souls,these idolatrous “masses,” these Calvary eclipsing prayers to Mary, these miserable millions cheated in life and in death by the greatest forgery Lucifer ever made.” (Why Revival Tarries by Leonard Ravenhill, Bethany House Publishers, 1988, Copyright 1959)

WOW,

I didn't know Len was so unloving and had such an agenda?

Apparently, Leonard Ravenhill wouldn't be allowed to post on this forum (though his messages are on the site) because he would be labeled as "unloving", "un submitted to authority", and having an "agenda"?

Ya know guys... I understand exactly where you are coming from concerning catholic doctrine and the catholic church. I am certainly all for pointing out the error of romanism, and the evilness of the popery.

However, the spirit in which you two are behaving on this forum is anything but Christlike. There are ways of making your points without being obnoxious about it. At this point these two current threads are real close to being harrassment toward Greg.

I believe the intention of this thread is merely to pick a fight. It's not the statements of Ravenhill or Paisly that are offensive because they speak the truth. What is offensive is the spirit in which you posted them.

Written by an Englishman 53 years ago at a time when it was still necessary to be so plain with the truth concerning Rome. No American ever experienced Roman Catholic violence and mass murder. If Mr Ravenhill wrote this in the spirit of Christ it was because he had good reason to do so. Stop being contentious you know nothing of Rome and even less of history. Of the Irish and the English I wonder if you even know who they are. When this was written Rome had been supporting and promoting a sectarian divide which had been ongoing for 500 years. The priests he speaks of are the priests of 1959 not the priests of 2012. The spirit he was speaking in, is eternal. Listen to the Spirit brother and stop listening to your head.

amrkelly, you sound unloving and bitter, like an angry watchman. You are slandering brethren with your ad homen attacks and leaving a bad witness.
