I’d think that was hilarious if I didn’t think it is downright scary! The “Christian” Taliban, anyone?! The question is, how many protestant groups out there buy this stuff? How many mullahs and imams—oops! ministers and pastors—preach this stuff? Are their numbers growing?
A wiki article on Alexander Hislop: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Hislop.
Apparently Rome is the “New Babylon” or at least the “Whore of Babylon.” Maybe this wonderful passage from Psalm 137 will be activated:
8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Originally posted by darvlayRBHILL and I have had many in-depth discussions about the specifics of the sinner's prayer and salvation. I asked him if mute people could be saved, and he said only if they attempted to vocally grunt the words of the prayer. I suppose he would say that if you are drunk, as long as you say the words out loud, then you're in. If you slur them, that seems OK, since even grunting suffices for the mute.
This tract actually raises a very good question which I didn't realize at first.
Can one be saved via the sinner's prayer while stumbling drunk?

Originally posted by darvlayThe implication of the tract is that the Bible which was put together by Catholics is true but that Catholics are the creation of the Devil. The problem is that many Christians who believe the bible word for word have no idea where the bible comes from.
How long did you plan to keep this a secret?!
