Greatest concentration The De ii pread hi lie con tant- 1)'. Hi greate t concentration, how– e,·er, each year i in February during ..Brotherh od Week.. , Thi is the v;eek that many ca t aside their weak- kneed. watered-down pinele "con– viction ·· and take up the oothing, yrupy cry of 'God i the father of u all and we are all brothers.' It is all lie and the Devil know it. I t i a pity that hi children don t know it. The Devil has children. Jesus re– ferred to Phari ees and others when He aid. ' Ye are of your father the devil. · (John 8: 44) . It is thus im– po ible for God to be the father of all when many are the children of the Devil. Man in thi apostate age has be– come very pantheistic. He worships every god imaginable. When a new one is fa hioned he worships it too. Sad that he is ignorant of the fact that he i actually worshiping the "god of this age" - Satan ( II Cor. 4:4· 11: 13-15). Ecumenicists are seeking to fashion a religion that will be compatible to all religious groups Cath olics, Protestants and Jews. Astronaut Edward H. White II on his Gemini IV trip aloft seemed to desire the blessings of all the gods there be. He took with him three medals - a St. Christopher medal Catholic), a gold cross (Protestant) and a Star of David (Jewish) .

Matter are o confu ed now even jn the mind of o-called cholar that the late t organization is called ' ' hri tian Atheism. " Thi is led by a man called Thomas Altizer. He and a few other have "discovered"? that "God is dead. " People are very re– ligiou and talk glibly about Christ. But the Christ of the Bible is left out. Thi is trange since He is "the way the truth and the life," and no one comes unto the Father except by Him (John 14: 6). One fanciful fantasy being perpe– trated by the ' 'one wonders' ' is a ' 'Festival of Faith." Proponents, of the " brotherhood" lie, parade down the street to some Cow Palace and bray in unison blasphemous prayers (?) to their own gods simultaneously in their many languages. These "hirel– ing" pastors who scatter the sheep often "exchange pulpits" to further break down the walls of separation. The Popish ' 'Papa" sitting on his exalted throne in Rome is coaxing the Prote tants, Jews and the nations of the UN to come under his wing of worship. His recent trip to the UN was dual in nature: to inspect his future domain (America) and to take over the leadership for so-called peace. This is at an hour when the Lord says they shall cry "Peace, peace, but there is no peace.' ' One World Church The "one world church' ' is in the making. It is keeping pace with the establishment and entrenching of one world socialistic government, one world bank, and one world military system. The Bible is clear in its teaching concerning apostasy. The apostasy Dr. Otis Holmes ha invaded and throttled practical)} all the large denomination and re– ligiou groups. It now controls these organization in their Preaching Praying, Pleasure, Peace, Power and Penury (II Timonthy 3: 1-7). ·true~ Christians with spiritual ap– prehension are not deceived, however, by the devices of the Devil. They wi ll not fo llow his pernicious ways (Joh n 10:5) · but will follow Christ, the true Shepherd (John 10:27). Satan has wanted to occupy God Almighty s position as ruler of the universe ever since he was the ' 'An– ointed Cherub." (Isaiah 14: 12-15); Ezekial 28: 1-19). Since being cast out of Heaven, he has been able to influence Adam and Eve and millions of others to sell out to him. But Christ, when tempted as the ''last Adam" (I Corinthians 15 :45), re– fused to ' 'bow and worship" (Mat– thew 4: 9, 10) . Another christ, a fa1se christ the Antichrist - is soon to strut across the stage of history (II Thessalonians 2:4). That "man of sin' ' will bow down and offer worship to Satan. As the "son of perdition,' ' he will be the Devil in– carnate. The False Prophet who at that time heads the world-wide Ecu– menical religion demands that people of the Great Tribulation worship the Antichrist who heads the one-world government. No one then will be able to "buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name - ( 666) . . . Let him that hath understanding count the number' ' (Revelation 13: 11-18). How close we must be to the stroke of midnight! Before the Antichrist becomes the ' abomination of desolation" and seeks to be worshiped as the Christ, the "Lord's Christ" will have come in the air to receive His saints to be with Him in heaven. As the Apostle John declared in Revelat ion 22: 20, ' 'Even so, come, Lord Jesus." THE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST
