| Bill O'Reilly |
Without a doubt, Bill O'Reilly is a very powerful and influential man. He's the host of The Factor on the Fox News Channel that's been one of cable TV's highest rated programs for many years.
And he's a very successful author who's written several bestsellers including Killing Lincoln and Killing Kennedy, two books that deal with the lives, politics and tragic assassinations of two popular American presidents.
O'Reilly plans to release his next book in September and it promises to be another blockbuster. It's titled; Killing Jesus and it's supposed to be about the life, ministry and subsequent crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
It may be a very good book. Bill O'Reilly writes very good books. But I suspect that his upcoming book may contain some serious flaws. Why? Because Bill O'Reilly is a staunch Roman Catholic.
Why would Bill O'Reilly's Roman Catholicism be a problem? Because the Roman Catholic Church doesn't believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible. For many centuries, the Catholic Church has taught that the Bible is an allegorical book that can't be taken literally.
For example, the Catholic Church teaches that the Book of Genesis--the Bible's first book--is a book of symbolism. Therefore, according to Rome's teaching, the biblical account of God's creation of the physical universe and all life forms in seven literal days didn't happen that way.
Then how does the Catholic Church explain the existence of life? The Roman Catholic Church teaches that life evolved over millions of years. If that's true--and it isn't--then death didn't enter the human race because of the original sin of Adam and Eve, but existed long before they appeared.
That teaching renders the biblical account of man's fall from grace a myth and turns Christ's crucifixion on Calvary's cross for the sin of mankind into a murder. Under Roman Catholic teaching, the Bible cannot be taken literally and can only be "interpreted" by an elite hierarchy of Roman Catholic scholars.
It's not a coincidence that for centuries, the Catholic Church erroneously taught that the Jews murdered Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church also claims that because the Jews "murdered" Christ, they were cursed by God and the nation of Israel was eternally cut off from His blessings. Therefore, for many centuries the Catholic Church has arrogantly claimed that she replaced Israel as God's chosen people.
That's why I'm concerned about Bill O'Reilly's upcoming book. He's already stated that he fully supports Roman Catholic teaching concerning the Bible. He's already stated that he believes not in the biblical account of creation, but rather in evolution.
If Bill O'Reilly is indeed a devout Roman Catholic, then expect his upcoming book to reflect historic Catholic teachings concerning the Jews, Jesus Christ's death on the cross and the nation of Israel.
If that's true then you can expect the worst. I hope I'm wrong. I hope that Killing Jesus turns out to be a fair and balanced account of the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
But for that to happen, Bill O'Reilly would have to base his book on the true biblical account of Jesus Christ rather than on the Roman Catholic Church's account. Because that account kills the truth.
