Chris Pinto just goes on talking in his calm matter-of-fact way knocking the wind out of me with his revelations. This guy reads, that's why he knows so much. He has the instincts of a real scholar, a real historian. He can back up what he says with convincing evidence because he really does know what he's talking about.
I've lost trust in some other Christian watchmen who rely only on a few current sources, have no sense of context, no sense of history, no "time" to read and therefore behave like a loose cannon shooting everything in sight without discrimination. It's appalling, for instance, to hear the great men of Christian history and even today's church denounced as "devils" because this ignorant Christian teacher knows nothing about them other than a few quotes he's picked up from some source he doesn't question. Calvin, Luther, "devils?" I've read a great deal in both of them and it is clear from their writings that they were able to bring about the Reformation because they saw through the evils of Roman Catholicism and put Protestantism on the solid rock of the Bible. You can make anybody out to be a devil if you know only a little about some mistakes they made.
But it's also possible you are trusting in lying propaganda about them and not knowing it. In this world things are NOT as they seem, and after listening to Chris Pinto for a while and seeing his films I'm more convinced of that than ever.
On the subject of the Protestant Reformers, he did a series of radio shows in September of last year showing how they've been seriously and irresponsibly misrepresented by some writers today, including Dave Hunt who is otherwise often a good teacher. [the link isn't exact, you have to find the September shows yourself]. Pinto, who does not identify himself as a Calvinist, nevertheless recognizes that what Calvin taught about predestination and free will that is so often vilified these days is in fact Biblical. In fact some of us who do identify ourselves as Calvinist do so only because we also recognize that fact -- our real authority is not Calvin at all but the Bible. I HIGHLY recommend this series of radio shows, some six or eight on this subject.
And don't dismiss out of hand the possibility that some of this anti-Reformation propaganda is being engineered by Rome. I've never been much into conspiracy interpretations of history -- usually encountered as wild assertions with little actual proof -- but the evidence Pinto musters for a complex network of interwoven conspiracies that all ultimately derive from Rome through the Jesuits is staggeringly convincing. Although I view Rome as the seat of the Antichrist as did the Reformers, and working constantly to spread their influence in the world, I don't usually think of this as operating on so many levels and with such organized intent as Pinto shows is the case. Influencing the minds of Bible-believing Christians is a constant objective for instance, of course under cover, without revealing the Jesuitical source. They are master propagandists. Undermining the Protestant Reformation was the original aim of the Jesuit order on its formation.
Almost everything Pinto discusses comes back to Rome eventually. All the wars, Hitler and Nazism, Vietnam, waterboarding. Fox News. Apostate movements in the Protestant churches. The Masons the mule carriers for Rome? The American Revolution a Roman conspiracy? Along with carefully constructed lies to deny such involvements including recent denials of the Inquisition as ever having existed. I can't even absorb all this. I keep having to listen over and over just to get the basics into my head.
When the final Antichrist comes he'll have the Roman Church behind him just as Hitler did, of course with a lot of disinformation and decoys to keep this from being clearly recognized, and a huge huge network of interlocking conspiracies going back centuries and tunneling from the Vatican like a dizzying maze of gopher burrows.
Don't take my word for it. I can barely keep all this stuff straight. Just go hear Chris Pinto.
