A Different Christ and Another Gospel

The coming one-world religion

According to Anglican-Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer, the Reformation is over and Christianity is now moving into a new era of global peace and unity.

Palmer proclaimed the Reformation's end and Christianity's new era at a conference held at Kenneth Copeland Ministries last month (February) deep in the heart of Texas.

Here's what Palmer said: "The Catholic and Charismatic Renewal is the hope of the Church. When my wife saw that she could be Catholic, and Charismatic, and Evangelical, and Pentecostal, and it was absolutely accepted in the Catholic Church, she said that she would like to reconnect her roots with the Catholic culture. So she did."

Certainly, if Martin Luther, who was the father of the Protestant Reformation could come back today, he'd be very angry with Bishop Palmer. In fact, if he could, I believe that Luther would probably vomit all over Palmer for making such an abominable statement.

Even worse, Kenneth Copeland, who has long promoted himself as a Protestant-Charismatic minister, agrees with Palmer that a Catholic-Charismatic reunion is necessary in order for Christianity to experience a revival in a world that has turned its back on God and rejected His Son Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind.

According to Copeland, the separation between the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant Christianity is merely based upon a simple "misunderstanding." Here's what Copeland said: "We are kind of…permit me to say, separated. Separated because, it’s sin that has separated us, all our sins. The misunderstandings throughout history. It has been a long road of sins that we all shared in. Who is to blame? We all share the blame. We have all sinned. There is only one blameless, the Lord. I am nostalgic (yearning), that this separation comes to an end and gives us communion. I am nostalgic (yearning), of that embrace that the Holy Scripture speaks of when Joseph’s brothers began to starve from hunger, they went to Egypt, to buy, so that they could eat."

And so, Copeland blames the separation on a simple misunderstanding that's based upon the sin of pride. And he's actively praying for an end to the Reformation and a reunion to occur: "And let us pray to the Lord that He unites us all. Come on, we are brothers. Let’s give each other a spiritual hug and let God complete the work that he has begun. And this is a miracle; the miracle of unity has begun."

Copeland is going to get his wish. There will be a reunion of the Catholic and Protestant churches, just as there will be a reunion of the Catholic and Orthodox churches. And other religions such as Islam, Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism etc. may join in as well.

And this reunion is going to lead to the greatest counterfeit religious revival in the history of the world. Where is this revival going to lead to? It will lead directly to the Antichrist who millions of folks such as Palmer and Copeland will embrace as the real Jesus Christ when this false messiah appears.

This revival won't be based upon the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Rather, it will be based upon counterfeit signs, wonders and miracles that will be demonically inspired. The apostle Paul warned: "The coming of the lawless (Antichrist) one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing." (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10)

Why are these people going to perish? Because, according to Paul: "they perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness." (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12)

What is the powerful delusion? That the Roman Catholic Church is a genuine Christian church. It isn't and it never was. It worships a different Christ that must be continuously immolated on Catholic altars. 

And it promotes an unbiblical gospel of works instead of the biblical gospel of grace. Paul wrote: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

How could that be a misunderstanding? The Roman Catholic Church doesn't misunderstand what Ephesians 2:8-9 states--she flat out rejects it. And she pronounces a curse on anyone who believes that salvation in Christ is gained strictly by faith rather than by works.

That's what motivated Luther to leave the Catholic Church and launch the Reformation in the 16th century that led millions out of Rome's darkness and into the light of God's true and only Gospel. The Gospel that says this: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Shame on Bishop Palmer and Kenneth Copeland. And shame on anyone who would murder the souls of innocent people by leading them to a false gospel that can't save anyone. As Paul wrote: "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!" (Galatians 1:8)
