If you were to check the internet, you would notice there are many
more websites that attack the Adventist Church than supports it. We
contend that these attack websites are created by the Jesuits.
One main habit the Jesuits have is their constant tirades that the so-
called crime of "Plagiarism," can make them die of a heart attack.
And yet they keep storming even discussion forums and tracking people
they constantly claim are "kooks." They constantly keep telling
people on the internet who merely disagrees with them that they have
mental problems. They never prove this, and when asked to address
dialogue in order to ask and answer questions, they refuse and just
persistently post insults and psychiatric, pharmaceutical and fashion-
designing diagnoses. They claim we are nuts, we need to go back on
our prescription medications, and we need to adjust our "tin-foil
hats."
We have already shown postings of Jesuits on the internet telling us
that all non-Catholics must be persecuted, tortured and killed, and
this did not bother these same people a bit.

The only thing that bothered them about this situation is that people
were exposing it. This is quite a value system typical of a power
that had not changed since the Inquisitions and as even was documented
by Foxe's Book of Martyrs! But let's now go into the meat of their
arguments and present to you, dear readers, another group of people
that the Jesuits must go wild about, must hate and must condemn: THE
APOSTLES OF CHRIST!
Here is material from an audiobook lecture given by Professor Bart D.
Ehrman, under the Teaching Company. The Teaching Company records
lectures from the best classrooms in the United States and offers them
as audiobooks to paying customers. Here is what Professor Ehrman had
to say as he was giving an overview of the
New Testament:
Lecture: 1st Lecture of 5
Subject: The New Testament Overview

You find the same basic story [the general stories of the life of
Christ] in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Sometimes within the basic story
you have exact accounts in Matthew, Mark and Luke, where there are
verbatim agreements--you have the same story, word for word agreement.
The only explanation for why you can have for why you have this word
for word agreement, in the opinion of most scholars, is that one of
these gospels is being used as a source for the other two. In other
words, there must be copying going on.
I sometimes have difficulty convincing my students that if you have
three accounts of the same event that are in the same words, somebody
has to be copying somebody else.
And so the way I try to convince these nineteen and twenty year olds
of this is, I do this little exercise where I come into the class a
couple minutes late, make sure everybody is there, and I fiddle around
in front of the class and I turn on the overhead projector and I put
down my briefcase and I roll up my sleeves and I do a few things. And
then I ask everybody in the class to take out a pen and paper and to
write down everything they see me do in the last three minutes.
And so the students, they, all 400 of them, write down what they've
just seen me do. And then I take four volunteers. Collect four papers.
And I said, "Now, I want you all to do a synoptic comparison. I'm
going to read what each of these sources had to say and I want to know
whether you have a sentence that is exactly like someone else's."
And so then I do a comparison of these four accounts for which they
described what they've seen me do, and in all of my years of doing
this--15 or 16 years of doing this--I've never yet ever had anybody
with two sentences exactly the same.
And so then I asked my students, "What would you think would happen if
I took up two of these pieces of paper and had two paragraphs that
were verbatim-the same: exactly alike? They said, "Well, somebody
copied off of someone else." Yeah exactly! Somebody copied off from
someone else.
Now imagine I didn't do that today. Suppose I waited 30 or 40 years,
and instead of asking you to write down what happened that day in
class, I asked friends of yours that you had told about what had
happened in class, and I got two accounts and they were exactly the
same, what would you assumed had happened?
There's always some wiseguy in the back row raises his hand and says,
"It's a miracle!"
Well so, those are the two options actually. It's either a miracle, or
else somebody is copying somebody else.
Before you therefore get fooled by the super-criminals of the last
days in prophecy, you need to understand how inspiration works and how
the gift of prophecy works, or else you will be overcome in deception
and then ultimately lost!
