Advice on how I should approach such teachings in the future, as I believe they will become more and more commonplace in men I generally respect.What am I talking about?Well, every morning on the drive to work My wife and I used to (I say used to because she's no longer working, Thank God) listen to Chuck Colson's Breakpoint commentary on our Christian radio station. 90% of the time, I agree wholeheartedly with the things that Chuck has to say. He seeme(d)s a fairly right-grounded believer to me.We disagreed on Terri Schivo, which he harped on for weeks near the end there, but that was all right. Just a matter of opinion. I can forgive that and go on.This morning, however, Chuck's commentary seemed to hit exactly on what I'd complained about in another thread here. How all the great teachers and evangelists in this country are lauding the Catholic church and the choosing of the Pope and whitewashing JPII's tomb rather than saying a single peep about the fact that the Catholic church is one of Satan's toys in the world.This morning chuck went on and on about the new Pope Rat and how his "conservative" views are drawing fire from the left. How he's saying all these great things about uniting Europe under a single Chrsitian banner, blah, blah, blah...basically making the Pope out to be some kind of hero for his views and how the left is disliking some of what he has to say.The Pope is a pawn of Satan. End of discussion. He got to where he is today by spending his life promoting a false religion that will lead millions if not billions of souls straight to hell for falsely belieivng that he and his church could save them. His views are hugely ecumenical and have little to do with believing that Jesus and ONLY JESUS can save you.So what if he dislikes rock music?So now Chuck has fallen, in my eyes, into the camp of less trustworthy famous evangelists in this country. Were we 10 or 15 years down the line and merging the world's religions under the FP, I would question whether Chuck Colson would stand against that or fall for the deception. What he, and the other big name evangelists in this country are doing now (not shouting the truth, but soft-shoeing around catholicism and in some cases even PRAISING it) is certainly nothing but a precursor to fornicating with that whore. Maybe, as a famous speaker, Chuck doesn't feel comfortable stating his true feelings for Catholicism. That's fine, the answer then is to SAY NOTHING, not come out in praise for the head of that hellish organization.So for the advice:Am I being a little too right-leaning here? A little too harsh and stand-ofish? Am I one of the Pharisees criticizing others for eating with sinners, or is my growing sense of unease and disgust with our nations' big name preachers well-founded?Cuz I know that I could only listen to things that Chuck says from now on with a "grain of salt" as it were. He's showing me some stripes I'd never seen before and I don't like 'em. But maybe I'm judging too harshly? What say ye?
