On <strong>the</strong> night <strong>of</strong> February 2,1982, I was watching Channel 40, <strong>the</strong> Trinity Broadcasting Network in<br />
Sou<strong>the</strong>rn California. Harold Bredeson, a prominent ecumenical leader was talking to Walter Martin.<br />
Bredeson turned to <strong>the</strong> camera and he said something like this: "Walter Martin was <strong>the</strong> one who helped<br />
<strong>the</strong> charismatic movement to be accepted <strong>by</strong> <strong>the</strong> denominations <strong>by</strong> not attacking it." Walter hung his<br />
head and smiled. You see, beloved, Walter Martin calls <strong>the</strong> Roman Catholic Charismatics his bro<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
and sisters in Christ. These people still attend mass and worship that little Jesus cookie as God<br />
Almighty. Do you see <strong>the</strong> danger here? It looks like we have been betrayed, beloved!<br />
The Apostle Paul said in II Timothy 4:14, "Alexander <strong>the</strong> coppersmith did me much evil: <strong>the</strong> Lord<br />
reward him according to his works." Beloved, I've seen <strong>the</strong> tremendous spiritual damage Walter Martin<br />
has done in discrediting our books exposing <strong>the</strong> whore <strong>of</strong> Revelation, in that precious Roman Catholics<br />
trusting wholeheartedly in Walter Martin have stayed in that system because he wouldn't tell <strong>the</strong>m to<br />
come out. Martin's followers see no need to reach <strong>the</strong> Roman Catholic people. They look upon our<br />
soulwinning material with contempt. And I say, with a heavy heart, as Paul did, may <strong>the</strong> Lord reward<br />
Walter Martin according to his works.<br />
The Bible says, "Cursed be <strong>the</strong> man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart<br />
departeth from <strong>the</strong> Lord." (Jer. 17:5) Think about it. Could this be ano<strong>the</strong>r smokescreen to make<br />
Christians believe that <strong>the</strong> whore <strong>of</strong> Revelation is really a Christian group? Jesus says, "Come out <strong>of</strong> her,<br />
my people that ye be not partakers <strong>of</strong> her sins and that ye receive not <strong>of</strong> her plagues." (Rev. 18:4) Does<br />
Walter Martin tell <strong>the</strong>m to come out? Not that I know <strong>of</strong>. Which one will you follow?
