The Welsh wing of the ecumenical "Churches Together" movement in the UK is called "CYTUN." (Pronounced CUT-EEN). It is the Welsh language word for "AGREED."
The dictionary definition of "AGREED" is: "TO BE OF THE SAME OPINION." And it is of VITAL IMPORTANCE to bear this definition in mind as we look at the organization's role and significance, as this AGREEMENT between its members is the cornerstone upon which CYTUN was founded in 1990, and which has underpinned all their activities ever since.
The Scripture speaking of AGREEMENT which lamentably applies here is:
"Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves..."
(Isaiah 28:15).
(Isaiah 28:15).
"With HELL are we at AGREEMENT!" This is the sickening and ultimately horrifying reality of what CYTUN is really all about! For they have truly made LIES their refuge, and under FALSEHOOD have they hid themselves! Theirs is the utterly FALSE UNITY that comes of an End-Times refusal to endure sound doctrine, and a deadly desire for concord whatever the cost. And their greatest compromise of all is with the unspeakable, LYING harlot that is the Church of Rome! (See Revelation Chapter 17).
CYTUN is Chaired by Dr. Patrick J. Coyle of the Roman Catholic Church, who is there for one purpose only: to represent the interests of the VATICAN! Doesn't this in itself set loud alarm bells ringing, that the man in the top seat is beholden to the Pope? And whether it is the present Bishop of Rome, or a future successor, the leader of the Catholic Church is the primary candidate for being the False Prophet of Revelation, the Antichrist's Satanic side-kick who causes all men to worship him and receive his mark! (See Revelation Chapter 13).
Despite the absolute abundance of proof that the Catholic Church is completely apostate, and preaches "another gospel," Churches here in Wales - as elsewhere - have fallen over themselves in their rush to jump into bed and commit willful spiritual fornication with the great prostitute herself! And have no shame or much less any repentance for so doing!
The fully signed up (Category A) member Churches of CYTUN are twelve in number. These "A-Listers" include not only the Catholic Church itself, and its close cousin The Church in Wales, but also the likes of The Baptist Union of Wales, South Wales Baptist Association, the Methodist Church, the United Reformed Church, the Union of Welsh Independents, the Congregational Federation and the Presbyterian Church of Wales, amongst others...
Is this raising eyebrows? It certainly should be! If your own Fellowship falls within one of these groupings, then you really, really NEED to be aware that your Church has entered into AGREEMENT with, i.e. is OF THE SAME OPINION AS, a Church whose heresies, false teachings and practices are legion and extremely well-documented:
Transubstantiation (god-eating), Vatican infallibility, purgatory, works salvation, confession to priests (who call themselves 'Father'), Absolution, the Mass, the rosary, a Bible that includes the Apocrypha, Marian (demonic) apparitions, praying to images, bestowing of sainthoods, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera... A vast catalogue of gross errors, which no born-again Christian should venture within a million miles of, never mind be a willing partner to!
RED ALERT FOR READERS: ARE YOU PERSONALLY "OF THE SAME OPINION" AS ROMAN CATHOLICS ON SUCH SUBJECTS AS THESE? IF YOU ARE, THEN IT IS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY THAT YOU ARE SAVED. IF YOU ARE NOT "OF THE SAME OPINION" AND YOUR OWN CHURCH IS SIGNED UP TO CYTUN, THEN YOU HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY COMPROMISED BY YOUR LEADERSHIP!!!
We ignore at our peril the hard fact that the Catholic Church regards itself as the ONLY TRUE CHURCH; the intent is, as it has always been, to bring ALL of "Christendom" under its wing, and under the "infallible" authority of the Papacy! This is what ecumenism is all about; the bringing together ultimately of all "Christian" factions - indeed all faiths - into the One World Religion of Antichrist!
It is also of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE to understand that even if your own Church is NOT one of the 'A-Listers' of CYTUN, it could still be similarly compromised by its membership of a LOCALIZED "Churches Together" syndicate, snuggling up under the CYTUN umbrella, e.g. 'Llandudno Churches Together' in the north, or 'Chepstow Churches Together' in the south. Such local individual Churches who have ventured off the narrow way and gone down the broad road that leads to Rome can - and do - include those of "Pentecostal," "Evangelical," and "Independent" persuasion and labelling. BELIEVER, BEWARE!!! CHECK OUT YOUR CHURCH'S CONNECTIONS!!! AND ACT ACCORDINGLY!!!

Doesn't Scripture specifically teach:
"Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?"
(1 Corinthians 10:21-22).
True unity can come only through the unfeigned fellowship of genuinely born-again believers, those who are OF THE SAME OPINION on the essentials of the faith and adhere unreservedly to the sound doctrine of the Narrow Way; any attempted partnership of those who are NOT of the same opinion on the NON-NEGOTIABLE elements that constitute "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude v3) is inevitably a false and deceptive unity. Which is fabricated not in faith and faithfulness, but in unbelief and rebellion against the final and absolute authority of the Word of God, which clearly instructs:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial?
or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
(2 Corinthians 6:14-16)
Will YOU bow down to the Pope and kiss his ring, as that shamelessly apostate, Druid disgrace to Wales, Rowan Williams did? Will YOU consent to and submit to all that CYTUN does in direct disobedience to what is unequivocally stated in these verses? The temple of God CANNOT have AGREEMENT with IDOLS!
For those true believers who find themselves compromised by such an agreement that their own Church has entered into, the next verses tell us the only proper response to make:
COMPROMISED CHURCH? COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM!
CYTUN? TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING!
"Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it."
(Isaiah 28:17-18)
THE SHOFAR HAS BEEN SOUNDED!
