Yep, another one from Chris Pinto, today's radio show, Spurgeon, Rome and the Bible,* in which he reads from Spurgeon's writings in the book Geese in their Hoods (which I've listed in the right margin and is available at one of Chris Pinto's websites).
Starts out with Spurgeon's exhortation to Christians that we all have the duty to pray against the Antichrist, which he identifies as Rome, and gets into what it means to employ our weapons of warfare which are not carnal but mighty in God for the pulling down of strongholds. How this is a work for all Christians, with whatever abilities and opportunities the Lord has given us.
Then Spurgeon tells a very amusing sad story about a Catholic Frenchman who put together a book presenting the four gospels in a time when the Bible was forbidden to Catholics. The Pope "infallibly" approves the book, then later condemns it, having discovered that he wasn't supposed to approve of it.
The importance of such a book to Catholics who were forbidden to read the Bible.
Another story from Spurgeon's writings is about a good sermon he happened to hear in a Roman Church, which was preached by a priest who was really giving the truth about Jesus Christ, showing that sometimes even a priest gets it right. Great story.
Well, the priest Charles Chiniquy also got it right. There must be others within the Roman Church still who get it right.
And Pinto goes on about how many ordinary Catholics have a simple faith in Christ and don't understand the official Catholic doctrine, which may save them.
Yet, "Come out of her, My people" the Lord still says to them.
