Exclusive interview with "Fireproof" co-star Erin Bethea...

"Pray constantly your Rosary, your beads of prayer to Heaven. Remain unified in your family lives. The institution of your country--the great foundation is based on family life. Destroy the family and you destroy your country. The enemies--the enemy is already within your country. Watch and pray well, My children." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 18, 1980

LifeSiteNews.com reported on October 10, 2008:

In an exclusive LifeSiteNews.com interview, Erin Bethea, co-star of the recently released pro-marriage film "Fireproof," addressed the role the film has played in her life and the challenge actors and actresses face in striving for success without sacrificing morals and issued advice to young people on how to stand up for what they believe in.

When asked about her current "faith walk", Bethea revealed how "Fireproof" had strengthened her call to carry out God's will in the media industry.

"It was a reaffirmation of what I feel like I am called to do in my life, which is to use my talent and my ability that God has given me to reach people. Whether that's through Christian media or secular media, either one I am completely open to," said Bethea. "I keep having this feeling that I am part of something so much bigger than me."

Responding to a question regarding her potential future in Hollywood and the many Christian celebrities who have been swept away by the celebrity lifestyle, Bethea offered advice to other aspiring actors and actresses who may be faced with choices that could compromise their morals for the sake of success.

"Before you begin your career it is important to have a firm foundation and to have a history and a pattern already of areas where you have made wise choices as a performer," said Bethea, mentioning how she had chosen to study theater at a Christian school that affirmed her Christian values.

"They may not have been the choices that led you to the most success, but they were wise choices as far as your values and morals," she said.

A good example of this, said Bethea, is co-star Kirk Cameron's policy to kiss only his wife - a decision that could limit his ability to fill future roles.

She also stressed the necessity of surrounding oneself with value affirming peers: "It is important to have people in your life who will remind you where you came from and of those standards you set early on, and basically give you a hard time if you start thinking about compromising."

"Have a group of people around you who love you enough to tell you the truth and who aren't blinded by success," she continued.

Bethea alluded to American Idol winner Jordin Sparks' courage to publicly advocate abstinence before marriage and addressed the difficulties young couples face in remaining chaste before marriage.

"There is a lot of pressure. It is great when there are people in the spotlight that have made a statement saying they have made that commitment."

Many young Christians are being discriminated against in schools for upholding values such as natural marriage, said the "Fireproof" co-star. Bethea, however, encouraged these young Christians to stand up for their beliefs, saying, "Be true to who they are and to what they know is true."

Bethea also reflected on her prayer life, stressing the necessity of talking to God every day. "It is like any relationship - if I don't talk to God how do I maintain a relationship with him?"

The blooming Christian star concluded the interview with one of her favorite quotes: "You never want to sacrifice your future on the altar of the immediate."

"The act of marriage blessed by the Father must not be dissolved to suit mankind in his carnal nature and loss of the knowledge of God. What God has joined together no man shall place asunder." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 28, 1974

"Are you so blind that you do not recognize the acceleration of sin among you? Murders abound, thievery, all manner of carnage, destruction of young souls, abortion, homosexuality, condemned from the beginning of time by the Eternal Father. Yet sin has become a way of life. Sin is condoned now, even unto the highest judge of your land and your lands throughout the world. As you have sown so shall you reap. Sin is death, not only of the spirit, but of the body. Wars are a punishment for man's sin, his greed, his avarice." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 14, 1981

The awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

THE GREAT FOUNDATION
"Pray constantly your Rosary, your beads of prayer to Heaven. Remain unified in your family lives. The institution of your country--the great foundation is based on family life. Destroy the family and you destroy your country. The enemies--the enemy is already within your country. Watch and pray well, My children." - Our Lady, June 18, 1980

JOINED
"The act of marriage blessed by the Father must not be dissolved to suit mankind in his carnal nature and loss of the knowledge of God. What God has joined together no man shall place asunder." - Our Lady, December 28, 1974

DESPICABLE
"The Eternal Father has given mankind a set of rules, and in discipline they must be obeyed. It behooves Me to say that My heart is torn by the actions, the despicable actions, of My clergy. I unite, as your God, man and woman into the holy state of matrimony. And what I have bound together no man must place asunder. And what do I see but broken homes, marriages dissolved through annulments! It has scandalized your nation, and it is scandalizing the world. Woe to the teachers and leaders who scandalize the sheep!" - Jesus, May 3, 1978

PROPAGATION
"The act of the union of the flesh was created as the means for the propagation of life upon your earth. We have seen the defaming of this sacred ritual of your God. You fornicate like animals, and when you sin you will not stand up and accept the fruits of your vulgarity.
"The union of the flesh will produce as the Father has deemed it. Should you use this in any manner contrary to the laws of your God, you shall reap what you have
sown." - Our Lady, May 10, 1972

HUMANAE VITAE*
"The encyclical of Pope Paul on birth control is true and must be followed by mankind. There shall be no rationalization of sin. There shall be no excuse for the murder of the unborn. Sin has become a way of life among mankind, but Heaven does not condone murder. Heaven cannot condone sin, though the Eternal Father in His mercy is most merciful and long suffering and forgiving." - Our Lady, October 2, 1976
*The encyclical letter, Humanae Vitae [Of Human Life] by Pope Paul VI, principally forbidding the use of artificial contraceptives in the regulation of births, under pain of mortal sin. It was issued in 1968 amidst great controversy generated by dissident theologians and others, who clamored for a reversal of this timeless doctrine. This godless pursuit was dealt a heavy glow when our Holy Father, speaking as the supreme teacher of the Church, gently but firmly articulated the constant teaching of the Church. We recommend that you read and study this momentous encyclical letter, Humanae Vitae.

STRENGTH
"The strength for souls will be found in the family circle." - Our Lady, December 31, 1972

ANNULMENTS
"Families are disintegrating. I must tell you now, My children, the family must be returned to the holy state it was constructed for. We shall never approve nor accept marriage and cohabitation without marriage. We shall not accept the annulments that are being given now to so many without due cause." - Our Lady, September 27, 1986

COMMON-LAW
"O My child and My children, never have We seen from the beginning of time a world in such chaos. And also, I shall not speak with words that affright your heart, my child, but I wish it known that this new modern role of what they call 'marriage without marriage'-which means living as 'common-law,' I understand--My children shall not be tolerated in Heaven. It was never the plan of the Eternal Father that man and woman shall live as animals.
"Fornication shall never be accepted. There is no excuse for fornication. If you cannot remain celibate, better then that you must then be married. It is better, My child and My children, to be married than to burn in hell.
"I also ask that all of My children of the world review the Ten Commandments." - Our Lady, November 1, 1985

BLACK CLOUD
"My children, when My Son returns upon your earth, will He find even a flicker of faith left in the hearts of mankind? In the days of Sodom, so too were men giving themselves over to all the pleasures of the flesh: eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage. All manner of sinful lusts were being committed. Men shameful with men, women casting aside their role of motherhood and lusting after women. As it was in the days of Sodom, so now is this black cloud over America." - Our Lady, July 14, 1979

SACREDNESS
"The sacredness of marriage and the married life of man and woman must not be destroyed by debased sensuality. It is a private consummation between man and woman and the family. It is not an object of derisive laughter and scornful jokes, My children.
"Your actions are observed by the Eternal Father Who looks into your heart. Pure thoughts, pure mind, pure spirit--what goes into the heart will come out." - Our Lady, August 21, 1975

Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."

A great obligation to go forward... "It is not by accident that you are called by My Mother, for it is by merit and the prayers that have risen to Heaven for your salvation.
