The Mother of Harlots:
The Roman Catholic "Church"
I have republished this article in this issue because of the importance of knowing the deceptions of Roman Catholicism.
The Editor's Recommendations
The Emergent ChurchA trend is sweeping the world that promises to change the way Christianity will be presented in the twenty-first century. While the seeker-friendly era attempted to bring a generation of ?baby-boomers? to Jesus, promoters of ?the emerging church? say new methods are required to reach the ?postmodern? generation that is hungry for spiritual experiences. "The emerging church" endeavors to attract unbelievers to Christ by providing these experiences. Many Pastors and church leaders are weaving together elements from different religious traditions. Emergent church leaders say that in order to go ahead, we must go back in time and reintroduce mystical techniques that include the introduction of candles, incense, icons, statues, prayer stations and the sacraments. While proponents believe ?the emerging church? is the key to a revival, others are concerned and claim that it may be part of the last days apostasy described in the Bible. In The Emerging Church: Revival or Return to Darkness?, Roger Oakland documents the extrabiblical nature of the ?emerging church.? Roger Oakland is an author and lecturer who speaks internationally on a variety of topics relating to the Bible and science, the defense of the Christian faith, and the deception the Bible predicts will characterize the last days.

Psychology and the Church - Critical Questions, Crucial Answers by T.A. McMahon
FOR NEARLY TWO THOUSAND YEARS prior to the rise of modern psychiatry and psychotherapy, the church has ministered to believers experiencing mental, emotional, and behavioral problems by using the teachings of the Scriptures and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Contemporary Christianity’s embrace of psychology, then, raises an important question: Was there an insufficiency on the part of God’s Word and His Holy Spirit during those two millennia that made it necessary for the church to turn to modern psychotherapy in order to more effectively address a Christian’s problems of living?
Crucial answers to that question will be the focus of this program, as we consider the influence of psychological counseling upon the church. In the history of contemporary Christendom, no secular enterprise has had such a profound influence on Christianity as has psychological counseling. The critical question raised by these developments is: Have they been helpful or harmful to the body of Christ? T.A. McMahon, co-author of The Seduction of Christianity, is your host for this ground-breaking documentary. Featuring perspectives and insights of both Christian and secular experts including Martin and Deidre Bobgan, Tana Dineen, and Dave Hunt, this powerful presentation exposes the roots—and results—of Christianity’s embrace of the beliefs of Freud, Jung, Rogers, Maslow, and others.
