This is a true shame. I just went through this entire site and I’m scared for the many Christians that will be lead astray by these Heresies. Yes I said Heresies! They profess many of the ST, ND, and RD Centuries Heresies the Church fought.
His attack on the Blessed Virgin, Sola Scriptura, etc… I guess not all learn from history either. This is the on going problem with these so called “New Age” Fundamentalists”. And what is scary is they make it too easy for people to fall away from the truths and act as if Salvation is free and out for anyone who says, “I Believe”, “I’m saved”, etc…
I pray that one day these folks receive Christ truly and realize their sins. I also find it interesting that there is no way to have an open dialog with them, other then through snail mail, further their total lack in knowledge of the Church. Further, we should always remember:
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So by their fruits you will know them. (Matt. 7:15-20) NAB
This is what we need to help guard the faithful against and make sure they are properly Catechized.
Jon, you were not harsh, you were almost merciful. Mercy is not, “Oh lets not hurt their feelings.” Mercy ad not allowing your brother or sister to sin and when you see them you say something to them:
33 “Either declare the tree good and its fruit is good, or declare the tree rotten and its fruit is rotten, for a tree is known by its fruit. (Matt. 12:33) NAB
and
15 “If your brother sins (against you), go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. 16 If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. 18 Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again, (amen,) I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matt. 18:15-20) NAB
Further, dark fears light always, so that is why so many attack our Faith. The truth fears no one, for God is Truth and we are his Church!
