That place will blow your mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bet sometimes the foreign readers on this website, think Americans have lost their minds, but I got the feeling, they are probably selling this crazy stuff overseas too in some capacity. Every other deception talked about here has been pushed elsewhere in the world too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are basically like the website for &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;"Christians meet Aliens Central"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;One thing when someone tells you to read ANCIENT TEXTS for truth. RUN, if it's not scripture it is LIES. The Holy Spirit told me the minute I opened it Enoch, that it was NOT scripture and full of demonic lies. Yeah they are telling Christians to read Enoch in these Nephilim circles.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4oWr_SAm_vM/Tx7h1bGkdzI/AAAAAAAABtk/O5S1TPMqp78/s1600/Enoch.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4oWr_SAm_vM/Tx7h1bGkdzI/AAAAAAAABtk/O5S1TPMqp78/s640/Enoch.PNG" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought I left the Apocrypha behind with the Catholics, well they do not have Enoch in theirs, but those who love God, do not seek truth from phony books, if anything fake scripture makes you want to throw up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've shown this before, there is even a magazine called &lt;a href="http://www.officialdisclosure.com/"&gt;OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE &lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that is advertised on &lt;a href="http://www.ahrimangate.com/newsalesad.htm"&gt;the Raiders News Network website and related ones&lt;/a&gt;, and trust me I have read weirdo magazines for research from Fortean to Mystery magazine--[non-believer and non-Christians mags] so I never thought I would find out there is a magazine for Christians who can't wait for the aliens to show up.

Even the Vatican remember is pushing &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/08/why-so-much-vatican-and-evangelical.html"&gt;the future alien contact stuff&lt;/a&gt; as I posted about here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.They will assume that the book of Enoch is part of scripture. [it is not, and I have seen this happen to people into this alien research stuff, one was a huge fan of Missler where they accepted it as true inspired lost scripture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. They will embrace the New Age and Luciferian teachings that run rampant through out science fiction literature and books. Remember its not SCIENCE, it's &lt;u&gt;FICTION&lt;/u&gt; too. They will do so under a Christian veneer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. They will be prone to any world wide deception that may be in the mix that includes SIGNS AND WONDERS warned AGAINST in the Bible, but this stuff takes people into looking for SIGNS AND WONDERS and letting THEM do the leading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. They will diminish the reality of human sin and evil, especially in powerful circles and will blame it on "Satanic" "alien" DNA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2Th 2:9 [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MBd5Fmwar40/TxigBbP7AKI/AAAAAAAABsI/TXs2UYmeMRY/s1600/aliens.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="286" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MBd5Fmwar40/TxigBbP7AKI/AAAAAAAABsI/TXs2UYmeMRY/s400/aliens.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rev 13:13 And he doeth &lt;u&gt;great wonders&lt;/u&gt;, so that &lt;u&gt;he maketh fire come down from heaven &lt;/u&gt;on the earth in the sight of men.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It looks to me like some are already FOOLED.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing Science Fiction is EVIL, the books are full of godless teachings, occultism, and even Star Trek had endless programming advancing one world government and other social new world order goals and plans.

I knew nothing about Bible versions but already knew the Catholic Bible "read differently" and denied aspects of God. I am not a Ruckmanite and do not believe the KJV Bible is "new revelation" but the KJV is the only Bible I will use. I have compared others and seen the changes which always lean towards watering things down. Be careful of even the NKJV and especially of the NIV. Some people have been surprised asking me how did you know which Bible to choose being so newly saved. Those who are born again, can recognize God's Word.

One thing to remember about Roger Oakland and Missler, they have worked on many projects together for years. Here is one example. By the way interesting Saturn inspired logo...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pvbBfqF5WPA" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Also, one preacher I have wondered about considering Chuck Missler, is &lt;a href="http://www.greatpreachers.org/dave_hunt.html"&gt;Dave Hunt&lt;/a&gt;. He is &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Countdown-Eternity-Chuck-Smith/dp/B000ESSTS8"&gt;a speaker &lt;/a&gt;in the video above, along with Chuck Missler and Roger Oakland, the video is just the trailer.  I do not recommend him as a teacher except in the way someone may use the books for information but being discerning, and he is Pre-Trib as well.&amp;nbsp; Dave Hunt has worked on endless projects with Chuck Missler and even warned about the Roman Catholic church in his book &lt;i&gt;"A Woman Rides the Beast: The Roman Catholic Church and The Last Days".&lt;/i&gt; That book taught me a lot as a NEW Christian about the one world religion goals of the Roman Catholic church and it's false doctrines. He had another book exposing Calvinism &lt;i&gt;"What Love is This?" &lt;/i&gt;that was good as well,&amp;nbsp; but all these connections are so strange. &amp;nbsp;Dave Hunt has spoken at &lt;a href="http://www.prophecyfellowship.org/archive/index.php/t-275462.html"&gt;many Calvary Chapels including Costa Mesa.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HkkpGAzir5U/Tx7VruzsvYI/AAAAAAAABtM/JMrI6Yt0jfU/s1600/DaveHunt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="232" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HkkpGAzir5U/Tx7VruzsvYI/AAAAAAAABtM/JMrI6Yt0jfU/s320/DaveHunt.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eTk98NyrHBM/Tx7WQmAK_QI/AAAAAAAABtU/NEG5fHpSowo/s1600/huntlowegendronmissler1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="237" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eTk98NyrHBM/Tx7WQmAK_QI/AAAAAAAABtU/NEG5fHpSowo/s320/huntlowegendronmissler1.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dave Hunt, David Lowe (Author of&lt;a href="http://www.earthquakeresurrection.com/ptc.html"&gt; Earthquake Resurrection)&lt;/a&gt;, Mike Gendron, and Chuck Missler at the 2005 Pre-Trib Study Group Conference in Irving, Texas&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;It is interesting to note the names that have popped up at all these bible conferences...This is one from &lt;a href="http://1995./"&gt;1995.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;    "Who was at the conference?

However, the best presentation by far, in my opinion, was the George Gunn's "2 Thessalonians 2:13: A Rapture Passage?".&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news4themasses.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/newt-wins-south-carolina-primary/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Newt Wins South Carolina Primary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Newt is scary enough but what about his wife?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g0uZ11YcsA4/Tx7Pw65nP9I/AAAAAAAABs8/CbZPeoLytZw/s1600/newt-gingrich-and-Callista-Gingrich.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g0uZ11YcsA4/Tx7Pw65nP9I/AAAAAAAABs8/CbZPeoLytZw/s320/newt-gingrich-and-Callista-Gingrich.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Newt Gingrich swept the South Carolina Primary election yesterday. Gingrich beat out fellow Catholic, Rick Santorum, Rosicrucian Ron Paul, and Mormon Mitt Romney. Rick Perry the Dominionist had just bailed out days prior to the primary. Newt’s former wife came forward saying that she was asked by Newt to have an “open marriage.” For those who may not know it’s one in which both partners don’t remain monogamous during marriage. The former House Speaker actually benefited from this controversy! He was asked immediately that night at the Debate and his “Thou shall not touch God’s anointed” air of self-pride won him great applause and a “bump” in polls for standing up to the “evil liberal media.” BTW, he did say ‘No’ he never asked his ex-wife for an open marriage, but who paid attention to his answer to that question after his bravado. Newt is a wild man. He’s a dark and shady character of which I could write volumes of weird stuff and seedy connections but most people don’t care to know the truth about the man they just want someone to “Take back America.” Let me remind you that we forfeited America long ago. In our own vain attempt to seek a “King” we heaped on for ourselves leaders such as what we see in our history and in our future. I’ve reported on Newt’s conversion to the Roman Catholic Church, see here for article"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yes the Christian "Right" will line up beyond no end of evil, wicked characters, Newt chief among them. You have to wonder about people who simply do not care about this man's endless shady dealings, Roman Catholic conversion, and the fact he is on his third wife via adultery, and asked one of them for &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/19/newt-gingrich-wanted-open-marriage-ex-wife-says/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;open marriage &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;[ie: adulterous marriage]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hey,&amp;nbsp; class warfare is part of the New World Order's PLAN...[Soros is supposed to be at Davos as well]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LyRDSNpPZvE/Tx7QxDAfYhI/AAAAAAAABtE/JOnT6km-0IM/s1600/Soros.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LyRDSNpPZvE/Tx7QxDAfYhI/AAAAAAAABtE/JOnT6km-0IM/s320/Soros.jpg" width="260" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;{infowars links for information, not an endorsement, be discerning}&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/01/22/george-soros-on-the-coming-u-s-class-war.print.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;George Soros on the Coming Class Wars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/soros-mouthpiece-calls-on-google-to-police-conspiracy-theories/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Soros Mouthpiece Calls On Google To Police “Conspiracy Theories”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hey if SOPA passes, the internet will be so censored it will be useless.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/soros-warns-of-violent-riots-in-america-financial-collapse-government-clampdown-%E2%80%9Csurvival-is-the-most-important-thing%E2%80%9D/"&gt;Soros Warns of Violent Riots In America, Financial Collapse, Government Clampdown&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/if-the-tsa-will-treat-senator-rand-paul-like-a-scumbag-what-will-they-do-to-you"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Senator Rand Paul Detained by TSA: If The TSA Will Treat Senator Rand Paul Like A Scumbag, What Will They Do TO YOU?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/V-X7p7YbPKw?feature=player_embedded" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://apprising.org/2012/01/23/steven-furtick-t-d-jakes-is-my-favorite-preacher-in-the-world/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;STEVEN FURTICK: T.D.

One thing I want this blog to do is break people free of the world's systems love for fame and notoriety and how so many are being lured in by media which seems to literally surround us 24/7 enticing and seducing so many people. Well we have the religious media too, and they are making use of fame and people's propensity to seek after a human leader to give them all the answers to lead them astray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Many ask me, do you have one 'usually' famous or known name pastor to recommend? The answer is &lt;b&gt;"NO"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;There are a few fundamentalist preachers who seem to be sincere and other websites I still read, but at this point, I refuse to give 100% endorsement to any man, test everyone for yourself and according to God's Word. There are infiltrators all over the place too, and well we have seen with many of these named preachers, so many &lt;b&gt;UNANSWERED &lt;/b&gt;questions, one has to be careful out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See the links to the left of the blog,&lt;i&gt; "My Favorite Links"&lt;/i&gt;, those links are for INFORMATION, now I have removed acouple if I realize they are too far gone,&amp;nbsp; and need to put one back, but even there, &lt;u&gt;test all things as I have told you and do it with this blog too.&lt;/u&gt; I am an ordinary person, actually probably less then ordinary. LOL, I have my limitations and like all human beings faults. &amp;nbsp; I can promise you though,&amp;nbsp; you do not have to worry about me showing up at any Bible conferences with dubious characters or on stage with a Catholic bishop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my advice to people, &lt;u&gt;STOP LOOKING to the &lt;b&gt;"FAMOUS"&lt;/b&gt; or even semi-famous guys, if you are new Christian, your ultimate role model should be&lt;b&gt; Jesus Christ&lt;/b&gt; and seeking to be like &lt;b&gt;HIM.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; People have feet of clay, and even the best Christians faults, actually forget role models and just LOOK TO JESUS. The famous guys, you know ones who have sold books, get invited everywhere, on TV, etc, they are loved by the world for a reason, and it usually is NOT a good one! If not in the "network" as a knowing deceiver, some simply see religion as a good paying easy gig. &amp;nbsp; All the famous preachers, want people seeking after THEM. Have you ever read this Bible verse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Act 10:34 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You ever wonder in this world why people are so celebrity conscious, why everyone wants to be the biggest man on the totem pole, where they got millions of people in sway to one guy [usually nowadays wicked beyond belief--just examining most governmental leaders] and they do his bidding setting all conscience aside?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They got Christians being led into this "system" too, telling you to &lt;b&gt;DEFINE &lt;/b&gt;yourself by a famous Christian teacher. I know I get emails from people saying,&lt;i&gt; "you are too hard to peg",&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;"who do you follow?" &lt;/i&gt;Well all I can say is I follow Jesus Christ. I found the one guy funny who wrote me, &lt;i&gt;"What is your theology?"&lt;/i&gt; I spent two years, writing about religious beliefs, and he wants to know what my theology is? LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one is more important or worthwhile human being before God. There are not some humans who are "better" then others, there are born again people and the lost. That is the distinction to look for. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Witness to the lost and share good fellowship with other Christian believers, but stop looking for earthly "gurus".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years ago, I was witnessing to some Catholics on a message board, and saying look, you have your FAMOUS SAINTS, usually people who founded an ORDER, or brought the Vatican more money--Mother Teresa raised millions that went to the Vatican, or were a famous leader, but the fact of the matter is along with Rome preaching a false gospel, the &lt;b&gt;real saints&lt;/b&gt;, those who truly followed God's Word and loved God, died [as far as this world goes] UNKNOWN. There are not statues of them, or books, or Catholic churches named after them. Outside of the apostles in the Bible, and others, most of their names are lost to us but they are KNOWN to God and written in the BOOK OF LIFE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who are the SAINTS in scripture, but God's own, those who have been born again and repented in Jesus Christ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hbr 6:10 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;saints&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;, and do minister.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rev 11:18 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;to the saints,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt; and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rev 14:12 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Here is the patience &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;of the saints&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Phm 1:5 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;toward all saints;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2010/06/hold-celebrity-preachers-have.html"&gt;"The Hold Celebrity Preachers Have"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all have to stop looking for known names, known "movements", world definitions. Hey I was in that trap too, I struggled with this as a new Christian, announcing myself as a "baptist" and extolling some of the fundie "greats" in those circles until I found out the word baptist barely means anything anymore. When I moved away from my fundie baptist church, seeing the real baptist world, was a wake-up call and a half. Rejecting Pre-Trib and easy believism made that picture even more interesting. I am still open to assembling with a body of truly born again believers but what am I telling you here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What am I trying to say here is we have to think outside the world's definition of "Christian", we have to think outside who their choice of the famous are, because most of them are going to lead you astray and start thinking outside the box of "human" control, where one man wants to be elevated above another [the error of Nicolaitans] and &lt;b&gt;start looking to Jesus Christ as our role mode&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;l&lt;/b&gt; and remember the world is going to HATE us, if we are the real deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jhn 15:18 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if Jesus Christ was hated, do you think the guys the world LOVES, are preaching the truth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are not. And Rome's saints were &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2010/10/roman-catholic-saints-were-no-saints.html"&gt;NOT saints&lt;/a&gt; either.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-5744675582158036213?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/5744675582158036213/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/real-saints-were-not-famous.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5744675582158036213'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5744675582158036213'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/real-saints-were-not-famous.html' title='The Real Saints Were/Are NOT FAMOUS'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XaQzYGvEMLE/TxroAEdhfSI/AAAAAAAABsk/uBpt-YZ-_hc/s72-c/zz-Reformation-01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-3518698440295012100</id><published>2012-01-21T07:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-21T08:44:44.966-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prayer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biblical Encouragement'/><title type='text'>Answered Prayer</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5uBedL46G6s/TxrdWpGap2I/AAAAAAAABsc/ZtEgkVa906M/s1600/pray105.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="227" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5uBedL46G6s/TxrdWpGap2I/AAAAAAAABsc/ZtEgkVa906M/s320/pray105.gif" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Eph 6:18 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Matt 22:12 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day, I had a major prayer answered, it was regarding something private, but it did help provide testimony to others, as it was something totally unexpected by &lt;u&gt;THEM&lt;/u&gt;. A family member who is an unbeliever was in shock because weeks earlier, I had told him, I prayed for this "specifically." Sometimes a Christian's prayer life can serve as a testimony to others. &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Praise God&lt;/b&gt; for answering my prayers including the prayer for a loved past church friend who was told by doctors she had cancer [stage 4] and found out it was &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; cancer only weeks later. This was very recent for me and I am very happy about this.&amp;nbsp; If you are ever in need of prayer as my reader, you can email me. I also ask for your prayers as well and for this blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christians can attest to the role of God in their lives and His majesty and power. God has given me warnings I have needed and rescued me many many times. &amp;nbsp;Please share your answered prayers here too. The other day, I was witnessing to some folks talking about answered prayers and sharing my testimony, this can be one way Christians can show others the role of God in their lives.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-3518698440295012100?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/3518698440295012100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/answered-prayer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/3518698440295012100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/3518698440295012100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/answered-prayer.html' title='Answered Prayer'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5uBedL46G6s/TxrdWpGap2I/AAAAAAAABsc/ZtEgkVa906M/s72-c/pray105.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-6968356882973206681</id><published>2012-01-21T07:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-21T07:25:06.811-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Catholic church'/><title type='text'>Are Catholics Christians?

I meet people who are in the church system all the time, many I love and care about, and I would say&lt;u&gt; &lt;b&gt;99%&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;b&gt; defend the Catholic church as being a fellow Christian church&lt;/b&gt; and the people within it as "Christians". While many are simply being left ignorant in their false churches, many Christians lose friends when they tell them the truth about what they believe about Rome, and tell others to separate from the Rome-loving churches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Honestly, Roman Catholicism is that line in the sand between the Christians who discern what the Bible warns of, and the false ecumenical types, who have allowed the false preachers to lead them off to perdition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Now remember many in the pews, simply do not know better, they need the gospel, to be born again and the truth, and we should have a heart of love for them, but realize &lt;b&gt;Catholicism is that line in the sand. &lt;/b&gt;Why are so many of the false pastors uniting with Rome or it's ecumenical movement?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am also realizing that more mainline churches such as Lutheran ones are being marched off to embracing more and more Catholic teachings, such as a semblance of the Real Precense now being even more emphasized then before. &lt;b&gt;We see how the Emergent church movement, and other deceptions have led everyone closer to Catholic beliefs, teachings and embracing of the Pope as a religious leader. &amp;nbsp;"Protestant"&lt;/b&gt; is an interesting term, a very loaded term in some ways, as it seemed to be like a name someone would give a teenager rebelling against "Mom and Dad" [&lt;b&gt;PROTEST-PROTESTANT&lt;/b&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;Whose &lt;b&gt;protesting&lt;/b&gt; anymore by the way?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;One frightening conversation I had recently was with this very nice lady &amp;nbsp;who seems to seek after God, but once I told her my beliefs about Catholicism, she was astounded that I did not believe the communion wafer was really the body and blood of &amp;nbsp;"jesus". I quoted this verse to her:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mat 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully I got her thinking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Catholicism, as many of you can attest, those who know the truth, are few and far between. I even encountered those in fundamentalist churches who saw me as driving way too hard a line. Thankfully that pastor saw the RCC as the harlot too but that is extremely rare out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have not seen this video on my blog, I think it is one of the most important things I have ever shown and decided to show it again, notice &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;how the leaders of a vast variety of denominations bow before the Pope showing their allegiance. Notice he himself does not bow to them&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Now put this in a biblical frame work, about what Revelation 17-18 says about the "mother of all abominations" and the "daughters". Recall what I have told you about sun worship and how the false religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, etc, are members of Mystery Babylon with Rome leading the charge and their inherent beliefs all overlap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tkbXdXUPS5E" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I believe once one is born again, the Holy Spirit will show a person what the Catholic church really is about, and that the Mass is total blasphemy against Jesus. When I was born again, I wanted to throw up, when I realized what the Mass was truly about, and that it had a false "Christian" veneer to basically what is a "mass" ritual set up to dishonor God. &amp;nbsp; Think about why "jesus" is presented "dead" on Catholic crucifixes all over the world, with his head slouched over. There is a reason for that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BLqUcXLTIsQ/TxcIPQ-ILZI/AAAAAAAABrA/1VqiTEnNJLA/s1600/A-60-CF.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BLqUcXLTIsQ/TxcIPQ-ILZI/AAAAAAAABrA/1VqiTEnNJLA/s320/A-60-CF.jpeg" width="199" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;When someone comes to know the real Jesus Christ, there is no excusing or loving the false Mass and it's communion wafer idol.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This of course applies to the daughters, the person listening to God's directions will be warned about other false churches and must obey to come out. Use &lt;b&gt;The Catholic church&lt;/b&gt; as a test for preachers. I always have. The false ones, will praise, excuse, and consider Roman Catholicism as "another Christian" church just like &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/more-from-news4themasses-chuck-smith.html"&gt;Chuck Smith did the other week. &lt;/a&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;This post is to help you show exactly WHAT they are playing footsie with.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there are those who have a conscience seeking after God even in the most false places, but I believe once someone is truly born again, is they obey God and leave. &amp;nbsp;Four months before salvation and when I left the Roman Catholic church just days later, I stopped taking it's communion wafer and saying "Amen" to the question &lt;i&gt;"The Body of Christ?"&lt;/i&gt; in the line to get the wafer. So I believe the Lord was showing me things then.&amp;nbsp; Of course, this applies to once the Holy Spirit has given you warnings about ending up in a daughter or another false church. This is why if you learn the truth about another church, your duty is to obey God and do as He tells you. If a church is in service to Rome, and united with it, they are in service to Baal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;There are things about Catholicism, that many Christians who have never been Catholic do not realize. This may be sort of a hard-hitting post, but one thing I want to emphasize, one of Satan's most masterful tricks is the Catholic Mass&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;u&gt;Do not blame the people in the pews, they have had the blindfolds given to them by Satan and false leaders. They need the truth instead. &lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;I know some Catholics may even see this post and may be upset by it but sometimes that is the risk of telling the truth. I had my days when seeking the truth online while in the Catholic church, I remember the websites that told me the RCC was the harlot. Thank God for those websites, that cut through the ecumenical muck. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing remember with this article, Mystery Babylon overlaps in it's different false religions, I may be eluding to "witchcraft" but false rituals among a variety of false religions remain consistently the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most in the pews think they are following "god" and do not realize what is happening. I did not either, as a Catholic, I had been trained from childhood on, to see the Mass as &lt;b&gt;"holy"&lt;/b&gt; and as "god's will" and to believe the Eucharist wafer was really "jesus's" body and blood and that only a fully and properly ordained Catholic priest had the power to turn the wafer into 'god". [Google &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transubstantiation"&gt;Transubstantiation&lt;/a&gt;, if you are new to this blog and vague, on Catholic teachings, yes Catholics believe they are truly eating the body and blood of "god"]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_n7HagzAf9I/TxbuHKzj6iI/AAAAAAAABpY/srfqxvm7p7I/s1600/eucharist-2008-quebec1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_n7HagzAf9I/TxbuHKzj6iI/AAAAAAAABpY/srfqxvm7p7I/s400/eucharist-2008-quebec1.jpg" width="293" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is one thing that may surprise you. During the Catholic Mass,&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;The priest has to say the FORMULA and not miss ONE WORD, to get the wafer to "confect" supposely change into "jesus": THIS IS is the same as spellcraft, miss one word, and the spell fails. &lt;/u&gt;Witches and others who do "magic" know that "getting the words exact" is part of the deal. &amp;nbsp;Does that surprise you that if the priest gets one word WRONG, the wafer does not "presto chango"? &amp;nbsp;It is some serious stuff to think about if you ponder it long.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;see here:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;20. &lt;a href="http://www.dailycatholic.org/defectib.htm"&gt;Defects on the part of the form&lt;/a&gt; may arise if anything is missing from the complete wording required for the act of consecrating. Now the words of the Consecration, which are the form of this Sacrament, are: Hoc est enim Corpus meum, and Hic est enim Calix Sanguinis mei, novi et aeterni testamenti: mysterium fidei: qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum. If the priest were to shorten or change the form of the consecration of the Body and the Blood, so that in the change of wording the words did not mean the same thing, he would not be achieving a valid Sacrament---DE DEFECTIBUS: Papal Bull by Pope Pius V&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;Since this is a Trad Catholic link above, I'll give a more modern one from EWTN:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Valid Mass again&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt; Question from on 10-03-2005: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt; At mass this very old priest says "for many" instead of "for all" since really the most accurate translation of the Latin is "for many" than its vaild but so is "for all" because it is apporved translation. If any priest where to follow the accurate translation of the Latin completly I don't see how it could be invalid. The difference isnt that great, the words are mostly synomous. This is my humble thought. What do you think? &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Answer by Rev. Mark J. Gantley, JCL on 10-06-2005: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Changing the words of institution (the "form") invalidates the consecration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BNOMxVBjjxE/TxbsmUkhyII/AAAAAAAABpQ/v1mM2DoF1Ik/s1600/sacrifice.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BNOMxVBjjxE/TxbsmUkhyII/AAAAAAAABpQ/v1mM2DoF1Ik/s320/sacrifice.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now following this topic, Keep in mind that the Catholic Mass is taught as a SACRIFICE. They basically are teaching that a sacrifice contrary to Hebrews 10, is being conducted on their Catholic altars. Think of the blasphemy alone here when Hebrews tells us the true sacrifice of Jesus Christ was finished once for all:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hebrews 10:10&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JM3vYcVORCE/Txbuh2z44nI/AAAAAAAABpg/2T3LyCokZTI/s1600/Consecration+of+a+Chalice+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JM3vYcVORCE/Txbuh2z44nI/AAAAAAAABpg/2T3LyCokZTI/s320/Consecration+of+a+Chalice+%25284%2529.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rev 17:4 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; having a golden cup in her hand&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Witches also use CHALICES &lt;/b&gt;{usually of a precious metal or ceramic too} on their altars. If you build an altar and are a witch, "The Chalice" is an integral part of it.. Even other false religions use the Chalice as both a symbol and ritual item. The symbol for the Unitarian Universalist church is the Chalice and has a center spot in every Unitarian church, they light a candle in the middle of theirs. &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;[Jesus drank out of a cup, not some fancy GOLDEN chalice with a hand-tooled ornamentation]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mat 26:27 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing about it being golden:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Golden cups are warned about more then once in the Bible...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jer 51:7 &amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Babylon [hath been] a golden cup in the LORD'S hand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Catholic church even has endless rituals to "consecrate" their golden chalices. See &lt;a href="http://acatholiclife.blogspot.com/2009/08/consecration-of-paten-and-chalice-in.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Then, removing the mitre, he says the following over the chalice and paten (chalices and patens):&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;C: The Lord be with you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;All: May He also be with you.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt; Let us pray.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Almighty everlasting God, we beg you to impart to our hands the virtue of your blessing, so that by our blessing  this vessel and paten (these vessels and patens) may be hallowed and become, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;by the grace of the Holy Spirit, a new sepulchre for the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ; through Christ our Lord.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Think of that one, where they say a new sepulchre [TOMB] and the inherent BLASPHEMY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said Chalices too, often of precious metals are used in witchcraft upon an altar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kqDQpTLHnjA/Txbwl_4bu8I/AAAAAAAABpo/uFCFs8LVY58/s1600/altar18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="310" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kqDQpTLHnjA/Txbwl_4bu8I/AAAAAAAABpo/uFCFs8LVY58/s400/altar18.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Wiccan Chalice&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The chalice has long been a staple of many religious practices. Most of the world's many religions use a chalice of one type or another as a necessary tool to conducting rituals. Different chalices have gone down in history (or myth) as priceless holy objects, such as the Holy Grail, or the Great Chalice of Antioch.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt; The Wiccan chalice serves as a representation of the feminine energies, and holds the Element of Water. The chalice serves to remind us of the Goddess during the Great Rite, as the athame represents the God. In rituals that do not involve a Great Rite, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;the chalice is often passed around the circle, containing wine, water, or some other liquid to be ritualistically sipped&lt;/u&gt;, &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;the remainder generally being spilled onto the ground as an offering to the Gods.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ok see that part about &lt;u&gt;the remainder spilled onto the ground? This is done in other pagan religions as well.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Did you know that in Catholicism as well as many other liturgical churches such as &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://xrysostom.blogspot.com/2008/12/leftover-communion-elements.html"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lutheran ones&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;, left over "blessed wine", is not poured down the sink, but poured into a &amp;nbsp;special drain, that goes into the earth?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;It is called a piscina and sacarium&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A piscina is a shallow basin placed near the altar of a church, used for washing the communion vessels. The sacrarium is the drain itself, it goes directly into the ground&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;u&gt; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://main.visitationparish.org/ministries-groups/altar-servers/as-words-you-will-hear/"&gt;Sacrarium &lt;/a&gt;– The left sink in the sacristy into which water from the cleansing of sacred vessels is poured.

Well we know that the Mass used to all be said in Latin and they are going back to it today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n_0HZNfkfhQ/Txb1lGlB_0I/AAAAAAAABp4/9xvYeKoLy2w/s1600/LatinMass.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n_0HZNfkfhQ/Txb1lGlB_0I/AAAAAAAABp4/9xvYeKoLy2w/s320/LatinMass.gif" width="245" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is there a correlation between the language used for the Catholic Mass for centuries [prior to Vatican 2] and the favored language among witches? Even in the Harry Potter movies they had Harry casting the spells in Latin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C0rITybrO4U/Txb3Z7CN12I/AAAAAAAABqA/uqBTfCbFQ-c/s1600/images.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C0rITybrO4U/Txb3Z7CN12I/AAAAAAAABqA/uqBTfCbFQ-c/s1600/images.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is another thing, every Catholic altar table  has to have a RELIC [or basically the part of a dead person installed into it, to be valid.  Any true Christian assembly does not need an altar knowing that there are no more sacrifices, because Jesus Christ's perfect one is finished, Hebrews 10:11. Now Catholic priests can use other tables, under special clauses such as ones during war, etc, but every Catholic altar you see in churches has a RELIC installed into. &lt;b&gt;Did you know that &lt;a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01351d.htm"&gt;the RCC teaches &lt;/a&gt;that one of THOSE RELICS--DEAD BODY PARTS...has to be PRESENT for the MASS to be VALID?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bodies of the saints, parts of the bodies, something used by the saints, or objects touched to the bodies of the saints that have enjoyed for centures the reverence offered by the Church. There are three kinds: first-class (part of a saint's body); second-class, (something used by the saint); third-class (an object touched to a first-class relic);&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt; First-class relics of martyrs are placed in an altar when it is consecrated."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;--Peter M. J. Stravinskas, ed., Catholic Dictionary, (c) 1993, Our Sunday Visitor, Inc, p.419&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;"This is a small square or oblong chamber in the body of the altar, in which are placed, according to the "Pontificale Romanum" (De Eccles. Consecratione) the relics of two canonized martyrs although the Cong. Sac. Rit. (16 February, l906)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;decided that if the relic of only one martyr is placed in it the consecration is valid ,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; to these may be properly added the relics of other saints, especially of those in whose honour the church of the altar is consecrated. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;These relics must be actual portions of the saints' bodies, not simply of their garments or of other objects which they may have used or touched; the relics must, moreover be authenticated."&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Things get pretty creepy here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Canon 1237, 2 states: "The ancient tradition of placing relics of martyrs or other saints under a fixed altar is to be preserved, according to the norms given in the liturgical books."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Rite of Dedication of an Altar #11 states: "It is fitting to continue the tradition in the Roman liturgy of placing relics of martyrs or other saints beneath the altar. But the follwoing should be noted. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;a. Such relics should be of a size sufficient for them to be recognizable as parts of human bodies. Hence excessively small relics of one or more saints must not be placed beneath an altar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; b. The greatest care must be taken to determine whether the relics in question are authentic. It is better for an altar to be dedicated without relics than to have relics of doubtful authenticity placed beneath it. c. A reliquiary must not be placed on the altar or set into the table of the altar, but placed beneath the table of the altar, as the design of the altar permits. When the rite of depositing relics takes place, it is highly recommended to keep a vigil at the relics of the martyr or saint."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Creeped out yet?

Bells are rung during rituals to signal the beginning or ending of a spell.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and of course other members of Mystery Babylon jump on the bus, using bells in rituals. Here is a Buddhist Altar Bell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HpS8EqQre3g/TxcC6enBEQI/AAAAAAAABqw/LxBSEESrzt8/s1600/buddhist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HpS8EqQre3g/TxcC6enBEQI/AAAAAAAABqw/LxBSEESrzt8/s320/buddhist.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some ex-Catholics&amp;nbsp; here are old enough to remember when they rang bells at Mass, today it is optional and depends on the locale, but it is still done in many of the churches. The timing of the bell ringing is important as the bells were run at the time, they believed the "wafer became god" or became transubstantiated. Think about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"The Holy See has maintained the practice of ringing the bell at the consecration in St. Peter's Basilica, although it has an excellent sound system. I also had the experience of a parish that restored the use of the signal bell after many years without it. Not only were there no complaints but the general reaction was very positive from all age groups. &lt;a href="http://www.zenit.org/article-13788?l=english"&gt;ZE05082321&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Catholic Mass has nothing to do with Christianity and is an abomination. Here I have only lightly touched on&lt;b&gt; some &lt;/b&gt;of it's pagan/witchcraft aspects. There are more. The whole ritual is Satanic in nature. The Catholic Mass breaks Hebrews 6:6 and seeks to dishonor Jesus by 're-representing" [repeating] sacrifices on their altars. It is full of satanic witchcraft and paganism to honor it's false "jesus" and idol, The Eucharist. This is the religion, that Chuck Smith sees as "Christian", where Mr. Jim Bob Duggar has no problem joining with for politics, and the head of the pack that is forming the one world religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are Catholic and reading this, I once was Catholic, and know it can be difficult to find out the truth. Turn to the true Jesus Christ and leave the false Eucharist and Mass behind. &lt;a href="http://www.wayoflife.org/wayoflife/howtobesaved.html"&gt;How to be saved.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-1944108988451453768?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/1944108988451453768/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/satans-masterpiece-catholic-mass-is.html#comment-form' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/1944108988451453768'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/1944108988451453768'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/satans-masterpiece-catholic-mass-is.html' title='Satan&apos;s Masterpiece: The Catholic Mass is Witchcraft'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-igdPoRNVZdY/TxcGhD8DKNI/AAAAAAAABq4/fZJ_zSHORrM/s72-c/pope-Eucharist.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-1684714173818298968</id><published>2012-01-17T15:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-17T15:53:00.775-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Duggars'/><title type='text'>Notice Something?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Why do so many hold to Catholic philosophers? One thing to remember as you read News4theMasses article, Norman Geisler as I talked here in my article &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2010/10/ecumenical-teachers-at-calvary-chapel.html"&gt;"Ecumenical Teachers at Calvary Chapel Bible College?"&lt;/a&gt; is a man that considers himself a &lt;a href="https://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;rlz=1R2ADFA_enUS385&amp;amp;q=Norm+Geisler+and+Thomism&amp;amp;rlz=1R2ADFA_enUS385&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;aqi=&amp;amp;aql=&amp;amp;oq=&amp;amp;gs_rfai=&amp;amp;pbx=1&amp;amp;fp=92b55bcb8ad34b32"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Thomist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From&lt;a href="http://humblesmith.wordpress.com/what-is-thomism/"&gt; an evangelical website that promotes Thomism:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is Thomism?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;Thomism is the teachings that follow the theology and philosophy of Thomas Aquinas (d.1274).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;i&gt;Aquinas left a massive amount of writings, dealing with much of the same issues that people wrestle with in modern times. His most well-known work is the Summa Theologica, a huge work that deals not only with theology, but also lays a foundation for philosophy, psychology, and government. He deals with each topic by answering almost every conceivable question, dividing each problem into many sub parts, each of which proposes all the objections imaginable, then answering each objection. Therefore Thomas Aquinas’ work is both a statement of theology and a defense against critics&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Norm Geisler is mentioned here too:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Authors who are influenced by Thomism include Norman Geisler&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, Thomas Howe, Joseph Owen, Jacques Maratain, George Klubertanz, Etienne Gilson, R. P. Phillips, and many others. Sources of how Thomism can be applied to evangelical theology and philosophy are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Norman Geisler, who published a four-volume Systematic Theology, and a book called Thomas Aquinas: An Evangelical Appraisal.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Etienne Gilson, Being and Some Philosophers.&lt;br /&gt;Henry Babcock Veatch, Two Logics: The Conflict Between Classical and Neo-Analytic Philosophy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the beginner interested in Aquinas and for those who have little exposure to classical philosophy, &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;I’d suggest starting with Geisler’s book Thomas Aquinas&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let me remind people Thomas Aquinas was a Roman Catholic who supported the Inquisition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nkhx8i4f0uE/TxWj_UrdkwI/AAAAAAAABoY/T7WS7G2zH_Y/s1600/300px-Benozzo_Gozzoli_004a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="330" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nkhx8i4f0uE/TxWj_UrdkwI/AAAAAAAABoY/T7WS7G2zH_Y/s400/300px-Benozzo_Gozzoli_004a.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is what he wrote about&lt;b&gt; HERETICS&lt;/b&gt; in the Catholic church and what should be done with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://biblelight.net/aquinas.htm"&gt;"Aquin.: SMT SS Q[11] A[3] Body Para. 1/2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt; I answer that, With regard to heretics two points must be observed: one, on their own side; the other, on the side of the Church.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;On their own side there is the sin, whereby they deserve not only to be separated from the Church by excommunication, but also to be severed from the world by death.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt; For it is a much graver matter to corrupt the faith which quickens the soul, than to forge money, which supports temporal life. Wherefore if forgers of money and other evil-doers are forthwith condemned to death by the secular authority, much more reason is there &lt;b&gt;for heretics, as soon as they are convicted of heresy, to be not only excommunicated but even put to death.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here Norman Gesiler wrote a book praising this man and his vain philosophies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qVJeyPhyK8U/TxWlMwrHG3I/AAAAAAAABog/Y40gTHKNJew/s1600/Geisler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qVJeyPhyK8U/TxWlMwrHG3I/AAAAAAAABog/Y40gTHKNJew/s640/Geisler.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Will Norman Geisler be praising the virtues of Thomas Aquinas at Veritas Calvary Chapel conferences and classes&lt;a href="http://www.normangeisler.net/schedule2.html"&gt; this year&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Don't forget what &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2005/aprilweb-only/33.0b.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Norman Geisler said&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;, when the last Pope was elected:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Relativism, pluralism and naturalism are the three main foes of evangelicalism today and they're the main foes of conservative Roman Catholics," said Norman Geisler, president of Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, N.C., and co-author of Roman Catholics and Evangelicals: Agreements and Differences.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"We rejoice in the choice because he's going to hold the line and he's not going to allow the liberal element in the Catholic Church to reverse any of those things."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-2017245066735705468?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/2017245066735705468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/from-news4themass-jesuits-beget-jesuits.html#comment-form' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/2017245066735705468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/2017245066735705468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/from-news4themass-jesuits-beget-jesuits.html' title='From News4theMasses: &quot;Jesuits Beget Jesuits: Norman Geisler, Veritas &amp; Calvary Chapel Bible College'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N1LbXUb_two/TxWwzglbmXI/AAAAAAAABoo/rO4qU-3mlFo/s72-c/distinctives11.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-8625690341328004655</id><published>2012-01-17T08:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-17T08:23:55.809-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John Hagee'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Glenn Beck'/><title type='text'>Glenn Beck Preaches The Third Great Awakening at John Hagee's Church</title><content type='html'>found video from apprising ministries: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iGlZy1T49hY?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glenn Beck definitely has been used to bring Mormonism and Evangelicalism together, and it's working isn't it?

Here at PJM Belladonna Rogers and J. Christian Adams have already blogged about it, so there’s no need for me to go into the details any further.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;But the question everyone’s asking is: Where are the photos?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Well, unfortunately, it seems that the Obamas successfully banned discouraged photographers from inside the party itself. But all is not lost: There were a few photos taken inside of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton in Alice in Wonderland costumes along with Alice herself and the Obamas. And some other photos were taken of festivities outside the event. I’ve done quite a bit of searching, and this is what I could find, so for all of you out there hungry for pictures, here you go (presented in the highest resolution I could track down for each image):&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All rather disturbing and if you know the occult/mind control connections of Alice in Wonderland even more so. As you peruse the website, notice the wicked Halloween decorations and more. It did seem to be a "Let them eat cake" moment.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-3566691272994747285?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/3566691272994747285/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/obamas-alice-in-wonderland-party.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/3566691272994747285'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/3566691272994747285'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/obamas-alice-in-wonderland-party.html' title='The Obama&apos;s Alice in Wonderland Party'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s2LP23ARknw/Tw8AC1FcVkI/AAAAAAAABno/bvhst4CDx5A/s72-c/alice-party-white-house-2009.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-5383324920976848924</id><published>2012-01-08T06:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-08T06:05:53.398-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Greg Laurie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chuck Smith'/><title type='text'>"Chuck Smith: Jesus Movement Founder Not Afraid of Anything"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4eFayDG1jeQ/TwmiiunUwII/AAAAAAAABnc/AVa_p3Ne1Ug/s1600/banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="214" width="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4eFayDG1jeQ/TwmiiunUwII/AAAAAAAABnc/AVa_p3Ne1Ug/s400/banner.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/chuck-smith-jesus-movement-founder-not-afraid-of-anything-66587/"&gt;"Chuck Smith: Jesus Movement Founder Not Afraid of Anything"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;IRVINE, Calif. – Calvary Chapel movement founder Chuck Smith, who also was a key figure during the nation’s “Jesus people” era that began more than 40 years ago, shared much of his life’s story in a rare interview with evangelist Greg Laurie Thursday evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smith, 84, who told his congregation at church last Sunday that he had lung cancer, was asked by Laurie toward the end of the interview if he was afraid of anything. The two were seated at a desk facing the crowd of nearly 2,000 in attendance at the Irvine church’s main sanctuary and overflow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As he stared back at Laurie with his well-known grin, pausing briefly, Smith answered, “Not really.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To which Laurie replied, “You are unlike any man I know.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laurie, whose ministry of delivering messages at large outdoor evangelistic events began as part of Smith’s vision, started the evening by talking about what was known as the Jesus movement. The movement began in the late 60s as part of Smith’s, and his wife, Kay’s, desire to minister to hippies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Chuck is known globally as the father of the Jesus movement. You can also make a case for contemporary Christian music and even contemporary praise and worship, which began in the early 70s at Calvary Chapel,” Laurie said during the interview, which was broadcast from Harvest Orange County. “If that was all Chuck ever had a hand in that would be more than enough for one guy in one lifetime, but Chuck was just getting started.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The videos are up on Youtube, I was not able to embed them. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlH2gJfaj6g&amp;feature=related"&gt;Part 1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwLeHM_FX7U&amp;feature=related"&gt;Part 2&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npqIAKt4tL4&amp;feature=related"&gt;Part 3&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFat1a8LnXs&amp;feature=related"&gt;Part 4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-5383324920976848924?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/5383324920976848924/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/chuck-smith-jesus-movement-founder-not.html#comment-form' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5383324920976848924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5383324920976848924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/chuck-smith-jesus-movement-founder-not.html' title='&quot;Chuck Smith: Jesus Movement Founder Not Afraid of Anything&quot;'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4eFayDG1jeQ/TwmiiunUwII/AAAAAAAABnc/AVa_p3Ne1Ug/s72-c/banner.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-8712016586354714666</id><published>2012-01-08T05:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-08T05:27:39.272-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='World Christian Movement'/><title type='text'>New Documentary Chronicles Christian Rock</title><content type='html'>Warning heavy rock music in the video:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x_T68j4lb9g" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/new-documentary-chronicles-christian-rock-66621/"&gt;"New Documentary Chronicles Christian Rock"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;A new feature length documentary is in the works that tells the story of Christian Rock through those who shaped the genre.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Bleed Into One,” produced and directed by Tim Hudson, and named from a lyric off of U2’s Joshua Tree album, has been in the works for five years. “This film has been truly a labor of love,” said Hudson on the project’s website. “We have put everything we have in this film.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;And he really means that. He said that while he was working on the film his electricity got cut off or he had no water. There were “times I would think why am I doing this,” he told The Christian Post.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;But Hudson spoke of a calling from God, and a love for music. He got introduced to the beginnings of the Christian music scene through his job at a venue called The Warehouse in Bartlesville, Okla. It was one of three Christian music venues in the country in the early 90s.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“It was a horrible little hole in the wall,” he said. But “we had some legendary awesome shows. Underoath, MxPx played there before they were big time.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hudson went on to become the manager of The Warehouse and a promoter for different acts. He told CP that he remembers watching a documentary about Metallica one day and thinking, “Somebody ought to do this for Christian rock. And then I thought, I could do this.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As people who have read my blog long enough know I warn about CCM, and it's dangers though there are some sincere musicians out there and even some nice contemporary songs, Christian rock has been used to bring in many false things. I also have wrote about how I listened to rock music and some of the worse stuff too as a non-believer. What worries me about this, is look at the name of this documentary &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;"Bleed Into One"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. Isn't that what Christian rock has been used to do? Help in the "unity" cause among false churches?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know Bono is advertised as a Christian out there, but let's not forget this is the man who dressed as Metiphisto and with his band U2 helped to advance the&lt;strong&gt; "Co-Exist"&lt;/strong&gt; message. By the way I was a U2 fan before I became a Christian. I know the music in and out and even saw them in concert, the message of "become one" is interwoven through out the music such as in their song &lt;a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/One_(U2_song)"&gt;"One".&lt;/a&gt; Bono has had visits with the Pope, and works with high level global elites. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MysWcA2fJss/TwmZR3Ra4vI/AAAAAAAABnQ/dNhwWMrxfds/s1600/coexist-bono-u2-1-world-religion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MysWcA2fJss/TwmZR3Ra4vI/AAAAAAAABnQ/dNhwWMrxfds/s400/coexist-bono-u2-1-world-religion.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-8712016586354714666?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/8712016586354714666/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-documentary-chronicles-christian.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8712016586354714666'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8712016586354714666'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-documentary-chronicles-christian.html' title='New Documentary Chronicles Christian Rock'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/x_T68j4lb9g/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-8121257504482882872</id><published>2012-01-07T14:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-13T12:11:32.179-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chuck Missler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Roger Oakland'/><title type='text'>"Roger Oakland, an Enigma Revealed in These Last Days"</title><content type='html'>As I wrote on &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/roger-oakland-exposes-not-chuck-missler.html?showComment=1325971393176#c3738724135940855483"&gt;this blog article&lt;/a&gt;, this is not the endorsement of the blog shown but for the information presented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ephesians511blog.blogspot.com/2012/01/roger-oakland-enigma-revealed-in-these.html"&gt;"Roger Oakland, an Enigma Revealed in These Last Days"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sad to say he probably is not the only one out there warning about Emergents, and the rest while working with those involved with Rome. I found the information about the Knights of Malta founding the CFR very interesting, well it makes sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll be frank there are so many things leading back to Rome, it isn't funny. I have even been pondering the&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/note-to-fanatic-for-jesus-quiverful-and.html"&gt; Quiverful/Patriarchy-Schaeffer &lt;/a&gt;connections, I researched today, and their very ecumenical standings and where everything is leading. "A Great Conspiracy" is a phrase that doesn't even give all this delusion justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The blog author is correct that Roger Oakland gives out advice that if heeded calls Roger Oakland on the carpet for keeping religious company with Chuck Missler. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One chart on his website I found very interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q3a8zlNNGWI/Twi8JyLiRoI/AAAAAAAABm0/_wKgwEByRio/s1600/Oaklandagain.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="460" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q3a8zlNNGWI/Twi8JyLiRoI/AAAAAAAABm0/_wKgwEByRio/s640/Oaklandagain.PNG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;To get to the original I went [click on the link on his page, provided UNDER the chart and checked out things for myself. I circled names I found of interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nvYNosHZlDg/Twi8kPSuX9I/AAAAAAAABm8/ZOXsTwMwBNY/s1600/Missler1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="500" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nvYNosHZlDg/Twi8kPSuX9I/AAAAAAAABm8/ZOXsTwMwBNY/s640/Missler1.PNG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AeRyvJouaNQ/Twi8qcuECaI/AAAAAAAABnE/v0JqUw0CxsI/s1600/Missler2.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AeRyvJouaNQ/Twi8qcuECaI/AAAAAAAABnE/v0JqUw0CxsI/s640/Missler2.PNG" width="472" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;THREE CALVARY CHAPEL&lt;/b&gt; PASTORS?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I guess that makes sense consider Missler's connections to Chuck Smith. Brian Hughes also has been shown on the SwanSat rosters as well on some of these blogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Pat Matrisciana being on the list is of interest as well: Council for National Policy, etc. Well read my post here: &lt;a href="http://Caryl Matrisciana, Wide is The Gate and The Council For National Policy"&gt;&amp;nbsp;"Caryl Matrisciana, Wide is The Gate and The Council For National Policy"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.steelonsteel.com/"&gt;Steel on Steel too?&lt;/a&gt; The people from Idaho who warn about "conspiracy" theories?&lt;br /&gt;I have some Steel on Steel DVDs a friend sent me but only listened to very few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Walter Martin, he had to be made a member after death? Why? He is the guy who refused to include the Catholic church, in his book "Kingdom of The Cults".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joseph Farah too? My, this spiderweb has been thrown pretty far all over the place. Well I figured out World Net Daily long ago, was doing the drumbeats for Dominionism and false evangelical political agendas long ago. Wonder if they have up any articles telling us to go to war with Iran this week? I should check. Joseph Farah I talked about in this blog article from long ago called &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/09/world-net-daily-and-hebrew-roots.html"&gt;Joseph Farah and Hebrew Roots.&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;By the way I was a new Christian reading World Net Daily for a time thinking it was a "good website". Sigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wasn't &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergun_Caner"&gt;Ergun Caner&lt;/a&gt;, the man who had some controversy about his past story? Memories are faulty but they even investigated him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alan Keyes, that is strange too, but he is all over the right wing in different capacities beyond trying to become a candidate for president.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-8121257504482882872?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/8121257504482882872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/roger-oakland-enigma-revealed-in-these.html#comment-form' title='51 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8121257504482882872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8121257504482882872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/roger-oakland-enigma-revealed-in-these.html' title='&quot;Roger Oakland, an Enigma Revealed in These Last Days&quot;'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q3a8zlNNGWI/Twi8JyLiRoI/AAAAAAAABm0/_wKgwEByRio/s72-c/Oaklandagain.PNG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>51</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-5940710450563868597</id><published>2012-01-07T09:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-07T14:45:03.585-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dominionism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Patriarchy Movement'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quiverful'/><title type='text'>Note to Fanatic For Jesus: Quiverful and The Patriarchy Movement are Products of Rome and Deception</title><content type='html'>I was browsing the &lt;a href="http://fanaticforjesus.blogspot.com/"&gt;Fanatic for Jesus blog&lt;/a&gt; today. She has a lot of information on there, and is a good researcher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fanaticforjesus.blogspot.com/2012/01/rick-santorum-and-skeletons-in-his.html"&gt;The article&lt;/a&gt; this is from has &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;many truths&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, I agree about Santorum, the Vatican, etc, but check out the part circled in yellow...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gv_wXmeOL3Q/Twb_46W50qI/AAAAAAAABmA/eDDIfuo4rNg/s1600/Fanaticforjesus.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gv_wXmeOL3Q/Twb_46W50qI/AAAAAAAABmA/eDDIfuo4rNg/s640/Fanaticforjesus.PNG" width="417" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Quiverful Movement and Patriarchy were NOT hijacked by Dominionism or Reconstructionism, but &lt;u&gt;BEGUN&lt;/u&gt; by them.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Why on earth would you reject Dominionism on one hand and then support the "Christian Taliban" when it comes to family life?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do you think this stuff came from?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I wrote the blogger some weeks ago and told her what I thought privately on this matter, but this is what I am talking about when I tell people to be careful and test what they read on blogs. You can read endless truths and her blog warns of many GOOD THINGS and then hit a brick wall of a massive untruth. Some can be sincere misunderstandings, being human, we all have our blind spots, I am sure I even have a few, while others are more insidious in nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;I would like to think she is sincere, but how could someone research Dominionism so extensively and not see Rome's or even the new world order's claws in the Quiverful and Patriarchy movements?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who started &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiverfull"&gt;Quiverful?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiverful &lt;u&gt;EXACTLY&lt;/u&gt; matches the message given to Catholics, do not use birth control, have as many children as possible. While Quiverful took root in the homeschool movement and used it to advance their beliefs, this was one way Dominionism got it's claws in as well. What about Pharisees laying burdens that not all can bear, especially in a modern non-agricultural society where so few can barely support the few children they have? How are the leaders of Quiverful any different from the Popes laying on their edicts?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw enough in the Catholic world to horrify me, including knowing &amp;nbsp;a woman in a Trad Catholic church with 15 children, being told she would die if she had another, with a husband who ignored the well-being of his wife [sort of like Jim Bob Duggar]. I also knew personally a lady in the regular [Novus Ordo] Catholic church who had 16 children and lived in a two bedroom house dependent on the church's charity where they did not believe in birth control. She collapsed in tears in front of me and another friend saying she could not bear another child. In her mid 40s, she remained fertile and had a disabled child as well to take care of. All I know is 2 years later after I moved away and she was pregnant again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tales of abuses, ignoring of women's health problems, are well-known to any middle aged and beyond Catholic or ex-Catholic. Don't forget the modern Catholics who reject birth control have NFP to plan their families, this is actually dissuaded in Quiverful circles and during pre-Vatican II times, NFP was not encouraged. But even &lt;a href="http://www.ewtn.com/vexperts/showmessage.asp?number=298102&amp;amp;Pg=&amp;amp;Pgnu=1&amp;amp;recnu="&gt;the Catholics&lt;/a&gt; pre-Vatican II, in cases of extreme hardship unlike the Quiverfuls allowed it [Mrs. Duggar a case in point who spoke of her own possible martyrship in childbirth.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have warned about Quiverful on this blog article:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2010/12/duggars-bill-gothard-vision-forum-and.html"&gt;The Duggars, Bill Gothard, Vision Forum, and The Quiverful Movement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is&lt;b&gt; nothing &lt;/b&gt;Christian about it, it is about bondage for women and families, it's leaders have their hands in endless DOMINIONIST politics, they go HAND IN HAND. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;The notion that the Dominionists infiltrated some Christian directed Quiverful or patriarchy movement is wrong.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATI-Bill Gothards group, Above Rubies and more advance Quiverful as the only role a woman can play and be godly. Think about this, all the women who never marry in a Quiverful/Patriarchy family are consigned to live at home the rest of their lives as forever children under their father's authority. There is something in this world even called&lt;a href="http://www.alternet.org/teaparty/152393/my_life_as_a_daughter_in_the_christian_patriarchy_movement_--_how_i_was_taught_to_obey_men,_birth_8_kids_and_do_battle_against_secular_america?page=entire"&gt; transfer of authority&lt;/a&gt; should one of these women marry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens to the women where the parents die young or she marries late? It is nothing but legalism and bondage and we see the Duggar daughters living this out in full view. I am glad I got to do more then babysit my mother's endless babies and do endless housework like Jana Duggar who will be 22 years old next week. I was already a teacher at that age. How sad. Many Christians who get swept up into these lifestyles, many well-meaning desiring the ideal life presented by these teachers and pepper the internet with their blogs filled with Victoriana, sweet flowers on the table and baking bread, either are very sadly unaware of or ignore the many realities of these movements in the abuse, controlled thwarted lives and rest they have brought to many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fanatic for Jesus has another blog called &lt;a href="http://kindredspirits-sisters.blogspot.com/"&gt;"Kindred Spirits"&lt;/a&gt;. Here she does advance the Quiverful/Patriarchy lifestyle at least with some caveats.&amp;nbsp; There is nothing wrong with having a large family, and she has been very blessed in that way, but I hope one day she can see what I am warning about here. She writes on one &lt;a href="http://kindredspirits-sisters.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-industrial-complex.html"&gt;blog entry&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Recently I made a discovery about an author I really like. Debi Pearl's books are wonderful and I have been changed by many of the things she has written. However, when I recently visited her website, she has occult/New World Order symbolism in it."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe to many Christians, the Pearl's books are "wonderful", that is what is so sad about the deception. Many people see the ideal families presented in books like the "Pearls" but do not think things through. I am glad she acknowledges the occult/New World Order symbolism in these books. That is a start. One thing, that is hard and it took me time, is realizing how deep deception went, and more and more and how subtle deception can be. We all have to be on guard for it, I certainly have made my mistakes and been fooled before, even being UU and a Catholic earlier in life is evidence of that, but there are things I have been fooled about even AFTER that time. So I am not claiming perfection for myself, just feeling compelled to warn about Quiverful and Patriarchy. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;I do not want anyone thinking these movements are OK, and just hijacked by Dominionism when they are full part and parcel of the Dominionism take-over and deception.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Fanatic for Jesus's sister blog, "Kindred Spirits Sisters"&amp;nbsp; she repeats the notion that the Quiverful and Patriarchy movements were GOOD movements that got hijacked in her article:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kindredspirits-sisters.blogspot.com/2011/10/christian-church-and-use-of-birth.html"&gt;The Christian Church and Use of Birth Control Part 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A Rabbit Trail: Dominionism/Reconstructionism&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt; As many of you have become aware, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Bible-believing Christians who have embraced the Quiver Full/Patriarchy movement, have been hijacked unknowingly by the Christian Dominionist/Reconstrutionist social/political movement. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Essentially they seek to influence secular civil government through political action. Ministries such as Vision Forum and Christian Patriarchy ministries are two such ministries, and both have a clear agenda&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;I just do not agree with her, that the Quiverful and Patriarchy movements were good movements separate from the development of Dominionism.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are facets of this article that are true, she is right about the role the Dominionists are playing here but misled about what lies behind the Patriarchy stuff.&amp;nbsp; I question the use of the pill myself since it now seems to be polluting the water and adding estrogen to places that should not have it.  I do not know about the evidence of it being an abortifacient, that would take more study on my part and am open to those opinions, but there are definitely birth control methods that are abortifacient like the IUD that Christians should avoid. I do not obviously hold the Quiverful/Catholic opinion about birth control but believe couples should take these issues to God. If a couple is facing financial hardship or severe health problems, and other issues regarding having children, take these to God in prayer. These are matters of personal conscience. I am glad she admits some face immense problems in these areas in her&lt;a href="http://kindredspirits-sisters.blogspot.com/2011/11/christian-church-and-use-of-birth.html"&gt; Part 2 article &lt;/a&gt;and does not hold to a legalistic line but even in Catholicism, I know people personally who are in the "special categories list" and there are more of them then you'd think who were told by Catholic priests, either to live with spouse as brother and sister for good or take the risk to their lives and health and if they used birth control or even NFP even once as one Trad friend was told, that they were on the way to hell. Being infertile or having severe health problems that preclude pregnancy can be very difficult in the Catholic world, even in many modern Catholic churches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She admits there are some problems in these movements: [&lt;b&gt;by the way this blog is the Discernment Ministry being mentioned&lt;/b&gt;] and I am sorry to have to name names here, and thought of avoiding it but didn't know how to warn about this without using links and where this message was coming from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attack from Discernment Ministries &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Since the Quiver Full/Patriarchal movements both proclaim self-sacrifice and submission as model virtues of godly womanhood - which is true - opponents believe that women live within stringently enforced doctrines of wifely submission and male domination. Discernment ministries believe that families who live by the Quiver Full/Patriarchy philosophy of following God’s command to “be fruitful and multiply,” and believe in the husband's headship in the family, are trying to win the religion and culture wars through demographic means.[2]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;So, let's look at this realistically. How many of us have actually been affected by these false teachings of Dominionism and Reconstructionism? Since a biblical teachings on the family have unknowingly been adopted by the Right Wing, have you been influenced to live each day to take dominion of your community? Does the idea of it seem absurd? Or have you been living by the fundamentals taught in scripture, and filtering out the strange concepts offered through some of these materials?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is good advice to filter out the "strange stuff" but I see the Quiverful/Patriarchy folks being affected by Dominionism &lt;b&gt;all over the place&lt;/b&gt;. Patriarchy&lt;u&gt; itself &lt;/u&gt;is strange, and definitely something better left in the Stone Age. Why does she assume all of these things are biblical?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I even have old loved church members who now are praising Vision Forum to me. The people I know 'personally' with stay at home daughters and follow these things, read magazines like &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldmag.com/"&gt;World&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; magazine which has the religious right messages to "take Dominion'.&amp;nbsp; They get these messages constantly within the homeschooling commmunity where discerning homeschoolers need to be very careful. &amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Considering the numbers game, one thing I find interesting about the Quiverful/Patriarchy world is they forget their lifestyle is not even &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBTAINABLE&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/u&gt;by all Christians, what if a woman is married to an unsaved husband and become born again years into and AFTER the marriage? Can someone become a stay at home daughter who desires courtship when their parents are unbelieving modern folks who demand they leave home by 18 and get a career? It is a CLOSED WORLD.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scripture has been taken and twisted by many to lay burdens on people and demand lifestyles and rules, that are not of grace but of legalism and control.&lt;u&gt; How many unmarried, single, divorced, born again after the fertile years people are there that the Quiverful/Patriarchy rules just "condemn"? &lt;/u&gt;How many people today in this world exist even without families? How many are even the ONLY Christian in the mix? By the way I am the only born again Christian in my entire family network going down the list to cousins, aunts, second cousins, uncles, great-aunts etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do they get the idea that every Christian has a born again Christian family? In this world, that must be rarer then the dodo bird. I have known of a few in my old church but they were the exceptions rather then the rule, and loving people who did not look to control one another. The people who are marginalized by these movements are immense in number. Even many single, widowed elderly, and other people stay out of the churches because they are too family-focused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least the Amish provide some support for their young people and have a set apart lifestyle that is actually has a chance of continuing, unlike the Quiverful and Patriarchy bunch who live in the suburbs and expect their 25 year old daughters to somehow find a husband who is godly and Quiverful and able to support a large family on one income. Even escaping to rural areas, is not a definite fix, I saw my old rural community totally economically devestated, the crime rates their have shot up. Some live on the edge of homelessness. One thing I notice about these worlds is they deny what is happening out there. There is no American economic collapse in the Quiverful/Patriarchy world, reality simply does not exist, every man supposedly has a great job and a farm where he can support 10 children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the extreme stuff, from what I am watching out there even online, it is growing. &lt;b&gt;Quiverful and Patriarchy are tied to many EXTREME things and more of these are being exposed&lt;/b&gt;. Google some of these terms. I have read all over the web about this stuff but also have known people who have made the decision to live these lifestyles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one thing called &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://whynottrainachild.com/tag/multigenerational-faithfulness/"&gt;multigenerational faithfulness&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; where even a GROWN man married to his own wife [which ignores Genesis 2:24] has to obey his own father. If a child is brought up under total obedience, some must guess why not continue it for life? For those brought up within abusive or otherwise dysfunctional families, this type of thing can give one the chills imaging an abusive parent that holds authority not just up to age 18 but beyond. And yes they can twist the Bible to make this sound true, cherry-plucking verses. Here is one example of this being taught.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VX-wZrcXQEE" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is this &lt;a href="http://visionaryfam.com/families/"&gt;Visionary Parenting&lt;/a&gt; stuff? Remember this ties into &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/08/divided-family-integrated-churches-yet.html"&gt;the Family Integrated Churches&lt;/a&gt; I already warned about. This is also is part of the Patriarchy movement! &lt;b&gt;Isn't it strange how these seemingly supposedly old fashioned teachings are promoted with modern phrases like VISION this and THAT?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there is the &lt;a href="http://nolongerquivering.com/tag/stay-at-home-daughters/"&gt;Stay at Home &lt;/a&gt;daughters as discussed on this blog before, where even grown women are told they must live at home under the authority of their father, or a brother if father is deceased. &lt;u&gt;This is how women have to live under extreme Islam&lt;/u&gt;, where women even have to obey their own grown sons if they are widowed. Google Stay at Home Daughter, or SAHD, and read for yourselves. There is no occupational training allowed outside of a few who allow their daughter to be a "mid-wife" [I know a family now that follows this life, where mother went to college to be a physical therapists, but has gotten swept up in these movements--probably with good intentions, and her SAHD is being relegated to off the books "mid-wife" training. ]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there is &lt;a href="http://www.quiveringdaughters.com/2009/03/what-is-patriocentricity.html"&gt;patriocentricity&lt;/a&gt; or biblical patriarchy, where the wife and children to do God's will must follow it through the husband/father, here they also use the VISION language quite extensively. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;What is Patriocentricity? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;Patriocentricity ~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;* Taken from the Latin and Greek root word "patr" meaning father and the word "centric" meaning "situated at or near the center."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;* The term was specifically coined to describe the philosophy of family life promoted within some extreme Christian and Reformed homeschooling communities that teaches that God gives a "calling" in life to only men, specifically fathers, and that the purpose of the wife and children is to fulfill the father's calling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;* Those who embrace this position believe that it changes only when a son assumes his own household responsibilities by taking a wife or a daughter is given in marriage when she can then leave her father's home, her new purpose being to fulfill the calling of her husband.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;* Though there are varying degrees of this taught within different groups, the father is sometimes described as the "prophet, priest, and king" of the home and there are other common ideals that often accompany patriocentricity, such as militant fecundity, family integrated church, neo-feudalism, as well as neo-agrarianism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;That latter part is interesting, one thing to remember about Patriarchy, it seems they want the priest in your own home with the higher up Pope-pastor issuing orders.&amp;nbsp; Sadly the type of men attracted to this sort of thing would definitely not be the types who see themselves as Christian stewarts and servants but those who desire power and control, one can just imagine the disordered power-hungry types who expect total submission and obedience.&amp;nbsp; Neo-feudalism by the way is a very Catholic concept. Also why so much emphasis on obeying a flawed human being at all costs instead of looking to God first? There is no way, a husband is always in perfect unity with God, that is absurdity and actually one of the false messages of the patriarchy movement. It sets women up as blindly submissive automatons.&lt;b&gt; I fully reject the Patriarchy movement and also have warned about the Patriarchy movement on this blog:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/02/two-sides-of-same-evil-coin-radical.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Two Sides of the Same Evil Coin: Radical Feminism Vs. The Patriarchy Movement"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She continues in &lt;a href="http://kindredspirits-sisters.blogspot.com/2011/10/christian-church-and-use-of-birth.html"&gt;her article:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;One of the greatest principles that stick in the craw of some of these Discernment ministries are the roles God planned for men and women. They are:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;God ordained distinct gender roles for man and woman as part of the created order.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A husband and father is the head of his household, a family leader, provider, and protector.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Woman was created as a helper to her husband, as the bearer of children, and as a “keeper at home.” The God-ordained role for a wife is the household and that which is connected with the home. [3]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Discernment ministries who say they understand that feminism is one of the building blocks to Marxism/Socialism/Communism, yet they still stand for their belief in Biblical equal rights. &lt;/b&gt;Christian feminism represents the views of the more theologically liberal end of the spectrum within Christianity, so naturally they would have a problem with the role of women in these two movements. Christian egalitarians don't want to see the "chain of command" God has created for men and women; where we are equal before God, yet have different roles.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;So, many believe that the Quiver Full and Patriarchy leadership are manipulating the conscience of couples, thus causing them to become legalistic and fervent in their views. I see that as a matter of misguided opinion.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well we definitely disagree. I am not sure what she means by a Christian egalitarian, perhaps I am one, perhaps not. If someone wants to fill me in on that one, I would appreciate it. I do see the Patriarchy movement as false and already have said, &lt;b&gt;I have no issue with men being the head of households or serving as the family leader, but the patriarchy movement is something else it has twisted what is biblical into something that is of bondage. It turns the man of the house into a tyrant and women into slaves.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who began the Patriarchy Movement?&lt;/b&gt; Interesting question. One I will be pondering even beyond this article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;By the way, I have found Catholic and deception connections and roots even AMONG two who served a huge role in advancing these movements.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who are the people I am talking about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f-JzlnvLF8g/TwhyG3xAPZI/AAAAAAAABms/jDKLmO1kUBg/s1600/L%2527Abri.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="273" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f-JzlnvLF8g/TwhyG3xAPZI/AAAAAAAABms/jDKLmO1kUBg/s320/L%2527Abri.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Francis and Edith Schaeffer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object data="http://media.salemwebnetwork.com/godtube/resource/mediaplayer/5.6/player.swf" height="255" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://media.salemwebnetwork.com/godtube/resource/mediaplayer/5.6/player.swf"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="opaque"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="file=http://www.godtube.com/resource/mediaplayer/EFJ1MNNU.file&amp;image=http://www.godtube.com/resource/mediaplayer/EFJ1MNNU.jpg&amp;screencolor=000000&amp;type=video&amp;autostart=true&amp;playonce=true&amp;skin=http://media.salemwebnetwork.com/godtube/resource/mediaplayer/skin/default/videoskin.swf&amp;logo.file=undefinedtheme/default/media/embed-logo.png&amp;logo.link=http://www.godtube.com/watch/%3Fv%3DEFJ1MNNU&amp;logo.position=top-left&amp;logo.hide=false&amp;controlbar.position=over"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object data="http://media.salemwebnetwork.com/godtube/resource/mediaplayer/5.6/player.swf" height="255" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://media.salemwebnetwork.com/godtube/resource/mediaplayer/5.6/player.swf"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="opaque"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="file=http://www.godtube.com/resource/mediaplayer/GKK67NNX.file&amp;image=http://www.godtube.com/resource/mediaplayer/GKK67NNX.jpg&amp;screencolor=000000&amp;type=video&amp;autostart=true&amp;playonce=true&amp;skin=http://media.salemwebnetwork.com/godtube/resource/mediaplayer/skin/default/videoskin.swf&amp;logo.file=undefinedtheme/default/media/embed-logo.png&amp;logo.link=http://www.godtube.com/watch/%3Fv%3DGKK67NNX&amp;logo.position=top-left&amp;logo.hide=false&amp;controlbar.position=over"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you watch these videos, remember how I have warned how the "culture wars" have been used for deception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Schaeffer"&gt;Francis August Schaeffer&lt;/a&gt; (30 January 1912 – 15 May 1984[1]) was an American Evangelical Christian theologian, philosopher, and Presbyterian pastor. He is most famous for his writings and his establishment of the L'Abri community in Switzerland. Opposed to theological modernism, Schaeffer promoted a more historic Protestant faith and a presuppositional approach to Christian apologetics which he believed would answer the questions of the age.[not verified in body] &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;A number of Christian leaders, authors, and evangelists credit Schaeffer's ideas with helping spark the rise of the Christian Right in the United States and were strongly influenced by him. Among them are Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry, Focus on the Family's James Dobson, the 700 Club's Pat Robertson, Prison Fellowship's Charles Colson, columnist Cal Thomas, preacher and author Tim LaHaye, former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, and Liberty University and Moral Majority founder Jerry Falwell [2].&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Notice who considers him a strong influence?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Francis Schaeffer played a strong role in influencing the religious right and &lt;b&gt;in the Patriarchy movement &lt;/b&gt;as well, it seems even their son, who left the family religion and "fundamentalism" later, was part of this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;In addition to more of Frank’s family memoir [he is the son of Fran and Edith Schaeffer],&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Frank also tells his role in helping create the Quiverfull movement by assisting Mary Pride in publishing her book The Way Home–regarded as a foundation of the Quiverful movement and theology.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edith Schaeffer has been very influential in the Christian Patriarchy movement as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Schaeffer's The Hidden Art of Homemaking (1971) has been influential among women in the Christian Patriarchy movement,[12] and has been described by Kathryn Joyce as "perhaps unintentionally, a landmark book for proponents of biblical womanhood.&lt;/u&gt;"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;[12]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;i&gt; Like What is a Family?, it has been described by Evangelical author Becky Freeman as a "timeless classic"[13]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read&lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=WhhCQY_7sogC&amp;amp;pg=PA41&amp;amp;lpg=PA41&amp;amp;dq=Francis+Schaeffer+and+Patriarchy+movement&amp;amp;source=bl&amp;amp;ots=6nS_oc410W&amp;amp;sig=vgwUf-VYcdegGfRf8V7UUzdTJCQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ei=uGkIT5LuOcrg0QGt0IGzDw&amp;amp;ved=0CFkQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=Francis%20Schaeffer%20and%20Patriarchy%20movement&amp;amp;f=false"&gt; Chapter 5 of this book&lt;/a&gt; to see the role the Schaeffers helped to set up in telling Christians to focus their attention back on the home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Schaeffers also with Os Guinness, a known false teacher, serving as a leader in this organization set up&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Abri"&gt; L'Abri.&lt;/a&gt; L'Abri was and is very ecumenical in nature.

Ok, run down the list, &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"&gt;these two were instrumental in helping to form today's Patriarchy and Quiverful movement but they ran this place where they invited the hippies, and non-Christians and had LSD promoting "prophet" Timothy Leary visit and some movers and shakers from the Jesus Movement?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This from a book that outlines the history of the Christian Right.

Do Not Let Your Love Wax Cold</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mark 12:34 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are in a society where love seems to have been thrown in the waste basket, and as the Bible says in Matt 24:12 the love of many will wax cold. I have thought about the love issue and how society gives so many messages&lt;b&gt; NOT&lt;/b&gt; to love people or even to form natural attachments [the Bible calls it natural affections] anymore. What do we see in a dog eat dog, compete at any price world where most of the populace has been ingrained into the law of the jungle and social darwinism? What about a world which splits everyone into the "winners" vs. the "losers" and measures everything by material goods, the bank account and who is the best worker bee for the corporations? It can get scary out there and it's growing worse. This is an interesting secular book, though I would take the "make money" equation out of it, and write the subtitle as &lt;i&gt;"How We Forgot To Love One Another and Got Enslaved By Satan."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SqYCq9NpTE0/TwXG3V-4VEI/AAAAAAAABlI/VbyAdWEWYP4/s1600/Selfish%2Bsociety.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SqYCq9NpTE0/TwXG3V-4VEI/AAAAAAAABlI/VbyAdWEWYP4/s400/Selfish%2Bsociety.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the subtle messages of Satan one will hear today include, &lt;i&gt;"Put number one first!"&lt;/i&gt;. One core component of all sin, is &lt;b&gt;selfishness&lt;/b&gt;, and  while there is some truth to a person taking care of themselves such as a mother in the airplane lacking oxygen better grab her own mask first to get the oxygen mask on her babies, but what happens when society enters this mode of a "me" first at all cost ethos? It can get scary, as I wrote about in the &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/05/social-disconnection_18.html"&gt;social disconnection&lt;/a&gt; blog entry, this is a main part of what is running that show. How many people out there are only interacting with people they believe can do something for them? How many only put themselves first?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bible states:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;MATT 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about that part &lt;b&gt;"iniquity shall abound".&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dictionary defines inquity thusly:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;in·iq·ui·ty/iˈnikwitē/Noun:  &lt;b&gt;Immoral or grossly unfair behavior.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Synonyms: &lt;b&gt;injustice - inequity - wrong - evil - wickedness&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;So basically the Bible is telling us because of all the evil, injustice, wickedness taking over this place it is going to destroy love inside human beings.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever feel like living in this world is swimming in a pot of evil? Sure there are glimmers of light and some loving people but it sure can feel that way. I find myself dealing with a lot of sadness that some other aging people can attest to, seeing the break-ups of the family unit, watching whole communities decimated due to greed and the destruction of the economy, and the growing coldness. Call me silly but I remember days where people had conversations and the focus in life was just different. One facet of my moving from an old fashioned rural area to a more modern one was seeing the difference even in basic connections between folks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today as people grow more and more squeezed, and minds are enslaved, and the new world order cracks down and seeks to take everything meaningful out of human life, where life becomes one list of impossible rules and darkness descends, &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;how many will see their love wax cold?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have prayed to God, to protect me from this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How many are told in endless ways NOT TO CARE about their fellow human beings in this culture?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YLFHnwhcpEE/TwbfflJStJI/AAAAAAAABlQ/Ji1E3r-oA5E/s1600/BM1142%257EI-Just-Don-t-Care-Posters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YLFHnwhcpEE/TwbfflJStJI/AAAAAAAABlQ/Ji1E3r-oA5E/s320/BM1142%257EI-Just-Don-t-Care-Posters.jpg" width="225" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cute bunny, but notice the message? I suppose it's supposed to be "ironic" or something but really it is preaching the message of a fallen world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One sees this message all over:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h5Zb0q6IOdU/TwbgPsiq1aI/AAAAAAAABlY/3jovTvPGeU4/s1600/T-shirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="280" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h5Zb0q6IOdU/TwbgPsiq1aI/AAAAAAAABlY/3jovTvPGeU4/s320/T-shirt.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To me the definition of love waxing cold, means&lt;b&gt; not caring anymore&lt;/b&gt;, and we also hear the phrase &lt;b&gt;lacking "natural affection"&lt;/b&gt; too. Have you ever dealt with people who just do not care? I have seen them for myself. For some of the most wicked, life becomes about a chess game in 'winning" over other human beings. Natural affection involves love, and attachment and care for other human beings. While I know many loving people, I also run into those who do not seem to care, where it's like wall has shut down, BANG!&amp;nbsp; What happened to those folks? &amp;nbsp;It is tragic frankly. Today we live in a society where cold stoicism is honored to the extreme, and emotions are not. &amp;nbsp;Anyone else relate? People are shutting down their minds and hearts, and some of these are well-meaning people who simply do not know God, but this is happening from the scary place the world has become, but all in all it is &lt;b&gt;LOVE WAXING COLD.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joy even seems to be an affront sometimes in a society that only cares about the numbers. Around some of the closed down types, if you are too happy, they will show annoyance. Life is all about drudge, worldly success and business. I remember reading elsewhere online, where someone from Europe wrote,&lt;i&gt; "Americans do not know how to enjoy life anymore!"&lt;/i&gt; and agreed, that is true. Course Europe has it's own problems. How many people are lonely or how many abandoned members of families are out there? I can barely stand to read the news anymore, if one is paying attention, one can tell evil is growing, and even the ways that human beings desire to hurt one another are growing. &amp;nbsp;Gang shootings, skyrocketing crime, and worse. Even just stories of unthinkable cruelty are coming out, where coldness rules and jaded eyes turned to the suffering.&lt;a href="http://www.suntimes.com/news/crime/9810997-418/story.html"&gt; Even a little child is told by a cold teachers to crawl back into a school after seriously injuring himself.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One danger in this world, if one does not have a relationship with God, is the evil one encounters, the betrayals, can take chunks out of one's soul. Some see incredible cruelty and coldness by a young age. Others still end up with lives where they are unloved and where God has to reach in and lift them up out of the darkness. People now are suffering seeing their entire economic life stripped away and dealing with health problems. For some there is nowhere soft to fall but in God's presence, as they are surrounded by those taken up with this world and it's evils. While people are told to have a positive attitude and "suck it up" or "man up", and bottle up the emotions this only adds to the problem. This is one way that they are getting people TO harden their hearts. Shut down emotion, turn away from human suffering, shut down the love. Some of us even know people who follow this extreme stoicism, and demand it of others with any vulnerability shown to be taken advantage of. &amp;nbsp;Manipulation and fear rules their universe.&amp;nbsp; How about facing reality with God's help? &lt;u&gt;How about refusing the message of the world to HARDEN YOUR HEART and DO WHAT GOD SAYS INSTEAD?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psa 95:8 &amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Harden not your heart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, as in the provocation, [and] as [in] the day of temptation in the wilderness:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;One thing I have learned is when the Bible REPEATS something, it is very IMPORTANT.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;This message occurs &lt;u&gt;THREE TIMES&lt;/u&gt; in the Bible.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hbr 3:8 &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;Harden not your hearts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hbr 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;harden not your hearts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, as in the provocation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One interesting word there to me is &lt;a href="http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=G3894"&gt;PROVOCATION&lt;/a&gt;; this seems to translate as REBELLIOUSNESS, and well, those who rebel against God definitely harden their hearts. The two go hand in hand. Coldness and turning away from God, are part in parcel with one another. Isn't one facet of the seared their coldness? It sure is. In dealing with the wicked, sometimes the most horrifying part of that picture is encountering the hard hearts made of stone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zec 7:12 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Yea, they made their hearts [as] an adamant stone, &lt;/b&gt;lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God can help with these things and always turn to Him in dealing with these horrible things, but as I have stressed on this blog, being a Christian today, may mean you are put in a position one day where it is just you and God and being circled by the wolves, ready to take a bite out of you.&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;Will you start to hate in response or take refuge in God's love?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Holy Spirit can give one strength to even deal with the impossible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes the worse affront on the human level, can be dealing with someone you thought loved and cared for you, but did not. That will happen too. How will you deal with it? The Bible warns us of such betrayals. What does it mean when you realize someone hates you based on your beliefs or is even there to deceive you such as the endless pastors exposed on this blog? &amp;nbsp;What did Jesus mean when he spoke of even family members and friends betraying one another? Remember Satan wants people to start to blame God, take their eyes off Jesus Christ and turn to hatred. Think about what this verse says about those who are OFFENDED:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matt 24:10 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;And then shall &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;many be offended&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;, and &lt;span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;shall betray one another&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and shall hate one another.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now remember Christians will be BETRAYED &lt;u&gt;too&lt;/u&gt; and we know that betrayal is happening and going to happen as well...but here is a warning don't be offended like the world and start hating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the Christian response instead:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jhn 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YfbcyisEuzo/TwbtAJRVIcI/AAAAAAAABlo/whGD3zXkkyM/s1600/riots.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="247" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YfbcyisEuzo/TwbtAJRVIcI/AAAAAAAABlo/whGD3zXkkyM/s320/riots.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I often think about how &lt;a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/22-signs-that-the-thin-veneer-of-civilization-that-we-all-take-for-granted-is-starting-to-disappear"&gt;fragile civilization is&lt;/a&gt;, and how &lt;a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/10-signs-that-economic-riots-and-civil-unrest-inside-the-united-states-are-now-more-likely-than-ever"&gt;once it's veneer is lifted &lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;everything spirals down. All you have to do is open a newspaper reading about other parts of the world, to know once people are hungry, and suffering, how all vestiges of human compassion and love disappear like a vapor. &lt;b&gt;I know I warn about serious stuff on this blog, but one thing you may want to ask yourself, is how would I respond if pushed to the brink?&lt;/b&gt; What if hunger or war comes? While some stress &lt;u&gt;physical&lt;/u&gt; preparedness, that can be good if led by God, but many do not have the means to prepare for everything this world has to hand out, &lt;u&gt;spiritual preparedness &lt;/u&gt;will be the most important. By the way, I worry I am not spiritually prepared as much as I should be, but it is something to take to God in prayer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now let's think about other day to day stuff, as enemies encircle. One friend, who told me at her horrible backstabbing workplace,&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"I must learn to split, and be smarter about things!"&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/b&gt;In response I asked, &amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;"Do you want to become LIKE THE PEOPLE around you? Where hurting others and destruction is the main objective for the sake of the career? &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;They are doing evil."&lt;/i&gt; She definitely needs God's help in this area. This is something too for the Christian, to be careful of, surrounded by wickedness, how do we avoid being dragged into the whirlpool to get sucked down too?&amp;nbsp; It is a question to ask yourself and keep you thinking about God's righteousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;2Cr 7:1 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is something important to remember in this crazy world. I have faced my own imperfections in this area. I worry about my own love being waxed cold via the hurts of this world, this is where dependence on God, really is most important. It can be painful to deal with those who have hardened hearts, and the hurts that come about, how do we deal with this in a Christian manner?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing I am going to tell you, if you are a loving Christian and cry over or mourn over people, do not let those who have waxed cold tell you, that you are in the wrong. This world will do that. They will even belittle natural human grief. Those who are of more sensitive personalities can attest that having emotions in some places, is really condemned. I figure God gave these emotions to people for a reason. There are those I am noticing in society do not even attach the same way to people and it's kind of scary. We are seeing the fruits of all this in the increasing divorce rates, separation from others and more. While our emotions must remain in the will of God, there is nothing wrong with feeling. &lt;b&gt;Having feelings means you still have a heart open to others.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7lk_dWVjiPI/TwbknDLfGjI/AAAAAAAABlg/XQ40gTVUMFY/s1600/jesus-wept.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7lk_dWVjiPI/TwbknDLfGjI/AAAAAAAABlg/XQ40gTVUMFY/s320/jesus-wept.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here too, our love for others, should influence our Christian life, even in witnessing. Do you talk to sinners and try to tell them God's truths? Do you try to meet people where they are at to bring them truth? One thing about this blog, I know there are many who have not studied and do not know the things I talk about here, with the array of false preachers, churches and more, how many good people simply do NOT KNOW? I remember my days fooled by the same. One way Christians can lose the love, is by falling into self-righteousness and circling the wagons rejecting the "outsiders". If all love is lost? Where will witnessing end up?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"&gt;1Jo 4:7 Beloved, let us &lt;b&gt;love one another&lt;/b&gt;: for &lt;b&gt;love is of God&lt;/b&gt;; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.&lt;br /&gt;1Jo 4:8 &lt;b&gt;He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing I know I am not perfect in loving others, only God is. It is something we all should ponder and confront ourselves on. All I want to remind through this article, is &lt;b&gt;Do not Let Your Love Wax Cold.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-5617886639502886403?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/5617886639502886403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/do-you-love-others-do-not-let-your-love.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5617886639502886403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5617886639502886403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2012/01/do-you-love-others-do-not-let-your-love.html' title='Do You Love Others?

Where is their discernment? Well as I have exposed on this blog many times, the Duggars are supporter of Dominionism and Catholic involvement in that is a given:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Rick Santorum has received an unexpected endorsement from one of America’s largest families. TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting” Duggar family attended a rally for Santorum in Polk City, Iowa, today.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Family patriarch Jim Bob Duggar told the audience, “All the people in America that have conservative family values have to get behind Rick Santorum for president.” Duggar brought along 12 of his 19 children, creating quite a media sensation, though the Duggar family is used to the spotlight."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;also see &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/post/santorum-gets-campaign-boost-from-jim-bob-duggar-of-19-kids-and-counting/2012/01/02/gIQAMIvTWP_blog.html"&gt;"Santorum Gets Campaign Boost From Jim Bob Duggar of ‘19 Kids and Counting’"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KU2EXQG4riA" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PYnbebtUXVY" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Remember all my warnings about the &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2010/11/false-culture-wars-and-manhattan.html"&gt;"culture wars"&lt;/a&gt; and how it would bring evangelicals and Catholics together? This has all worked part in parcel in bringing this country under more tyranny. I mean if Calvary Chapel is going to work with their own Knights of Malta Boykin, why not The Duggars who will only serve to help influence the false religious right via their own support of a Knights of Malta member running for president? Whether his campaign gets anywhere remains to be seen, but it is all very concerning. I feel for the kids, they simply are following their father's example, and do not know anything else.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AG8R1ifk04M/TwMu3rPVqcI/AAAAAAAABkw/TinOp6bu_-4/s1600/screen_shot_2012-01-02_at_1.20.17_pm.author_profile.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="199" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AG8R1ifk04M/TwMu3rPVqcI/AAAAAAAABkw/TinOp6bu_-4/s400/screen_shot_2012-01-02_at_1.20.17_pm.author_profile.png" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZukKZsX_vNo/TwMtdiCYMVI/AAAAAAAABkk/WSp_MfKlWVk/s1600/article-2081493-0F53029600000578-649_468x281.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZukKZsX_vNo/TwMtdiCYMVI/AAAAAAAABkk/WSp_MfKlWVk/s400/article-2081493-0F53029600000578-649_468x281.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2081493/Duggar-family-19-Kids-And-Counting-endorse-Rick-Santorum.html"&gt;Caption on picture&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;"Stumping for Santorum: Jim Bob Duggar talks about his support for Rick Santorum in front of the bus his family rode in from Arkansas to campaign for the former Pennsylvania senator"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Santorums are definitely &lt;a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/62229262/Rick-Santorum-Knight-of-Malta"&gt;Knights of Malta.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YMyZ0GZIx3A/TwMsQ7dSIwI/AAAAAAAABkM/A1ciGe3fGtQ/s1600/Knightsofmalta.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="347" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YMyZ0GZIx3A/TwMsQ7dSIwI/AAAAAAAABkM/A1ciGe3fGtQ/s400/Knightsofmalta.PNG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just think about who the Duggars are now supporting and how this family is &amp;nbsp;being used who have so many fans that do not know anything about Dominionism or other things they are involved in.

"But it is the corruption of freedom of conscience."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Santorum told NCR that he regards George W.

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) would give the federal government the ability to potentially shut down millions of websites.  &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;SOPA (the version being considered in the U.S. House of Representatives) is the more dangerous of the two.  It would essentially be the equivalent of a nuclear bomb being dropped on the Internet.  It would give government officials unlimited power to very rapidly shut down any website that is found to "engage in, enable or facilitate" copyright infringement.  That language is very broad and very vague.  Many fear that it will be used to shut down any websites that even inadvertently link to "infringing material".  Can you imagine a world where there is no more Facebook, Twitter or YouTube?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;  Sites like those would be forced to hire thousands of Internet censors to make sure that no "infringing material" is posted, and many prominent websites may simply decide that allowing users to post content is no longer profitable and is just not worth the hassle.  Are you starting to get the picture?  That is why we must stop SOPA.  If SOPA is enacted, it could be the death of the free Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this is exactly the kind of bill that the establishment media has been waiting for.  It would give them back control.  &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;SOPA is being heavily promoted by big media corporations.  If they are able to shut down free speech on the Internet, then suddenly everyone would be forced to rely on them for news and entertainment once again&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1211/70878.html#ixzz1hppdfgni"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;"SOPA Is The End of US Say Bloggers"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;They are doing what they can to end freedom of speech online, I never expected something as open speech and free information on the internet to be something pernament. If this passes the only options will be all state-approved information and entertainment with the help of the big mega-corporations. I know even the time to do this blog may be short.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ca.news.yahoo.com/paul-builds-campaign-doomsday-scenarios-161301486.html"&gt;Ron Paul&lt;/a&gt; tells Woman With Cancer there should be no insurance for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Some potential supporters from the left have been put off by Paul's uncompromising support for the free market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a campaign stop in this small city of about 7,000, Paul told breast cancer survivor Danielle Lin that insurance companies should not be required to offer coverage to people who are already sick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's sort of like me living on the Gulf Coast, not buying insurance until I see the hurricane," said Paul, whose Galveston-based district was devastated by a hurricane in 2008. "Insurance is supposed to measure risk."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;The response left Lin in tears. While her insurance covered her treatment, she said, several of her friends were not so fortunate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;"I watched three friends die because they didn't have insurance," said Lin, a registered Democrat who is looking for a Republican candidate to support this time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;"Nobody can afford private insurance, nobody can. And they're dead."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The insurance health system is a racket, still think this guy isn't part of the establishment? Well think again. &lt;u&gt;His out of touch idea that people go without insurance by choice instead of not having it via economic shortages is also absurd. &lt;/u&gt;Some of his other views are better, rejection of Federal Reserve etc, but I still believe this guy is being used for some sort of distraction or to get their candidate of choice in.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/more-than-1-in-4-christians-are-pentecostal-charismatic-65358/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;"More Than 1 in 4 Christians Are Pentecostal, Charismatic"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"The Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion &amp;amp; Public Life published a demographic report this week on the size and distribution of the world's Christian population and revealed that Pentecostals and charismatics make up more than a quarter of all Christians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using estimates from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, the report also showed that together Pentecostals and charismatics make up more than 8 percent of the world’s total population.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study defines Pentecostals as members of Pentecostal denominations that teach that all Christians should seek a post-conversion religious experience called the baptism of the Holy Spirit. These denominations also teach that those who experience the baptism of the Holy Spirit may receive spiritual gifts, including prophesy or speaking in tongues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charismatics are members of Catholic, Orthodox and some Protestant denominations, who engage in some spiritual practices associated with Pentecostalism."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I knew the number was high, but didn't know it was that high. That isn't good, as I talk about&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2010/11/azusa-street-pentecostalism-and-calvary.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt; Pentecostalism&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt; here.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nlg.org/news/announcements/nlg-condemns-ndaa-provisions/"&gt;the Lawyers Think NDAA is EVIL&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and &lt;a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/01/02/president-obama-signed-the-national-defense-authorization-act-now-what/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Obama Signed the NDAA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; oddly on New Years Eve. &lt;b&gt;Ignore the stuff about signing statements, that is just smoke and mirrors to deflect his responsibility.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/17-reasons-why-a-vote-for-mitt-romney-is-a-vote-for-the-new-world-order"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;A Vote for Mitt Romney is a Vote for the NWO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Well that is true for &lt;u&gt;all&lt;/u&gt; the candidates. One like Ron Paul is just a deflector serving a secondary role that ones like Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan played in previous "elections". Don't be deceived by the stage show, that elections have anything to do with Americans really choosing the best candidate. I believe whoever is the "winner" is chosen way ahead of time now. It is all about giving people the ILLUSION of CHOICE.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/28-signs-that-u-s-public-schools-are-rapidly-being-turned-into-indoctrination-centers-and-prison-camps"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;28 Signs That U.S. Public Schools Are Rapidly Being Turned Into Indoctrination Centers And Prison Camps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;I agree with this, even the design of them now, seems to be about making them the best prison camps. I posted about this issue too, based on this blogger's other article: &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/06/life-in-us-public-schools-just-like.html"&gt;"Life In Public School Is Just Like Prison"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/30-statistics-that-show-that-the-middle-class-is-dying-right-in-front-of-our-eyes-as-we-enter-2012"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;30 Statistics That Show That The Middle Class Is Dying Right In Front Of Our Eyes As We Enter 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_98724830"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://herescope.blogspot.com/2011/11/new-age-and-latter-rain.html"&gt;New Age and Latter Rain&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;There is &amp;nbsp;nothing new under the sun. Satan's lies always are the same, even when doing a long ago article on a &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2010/11/new-apostolic-reformation-seeking-power.html"&gt;false NAR preacher on this blog&lt;/a&gt;, everything she did was coinciding with things from the occult. Of course Latter Rain would match the New Age with just a changing of the surface language to make it sound "more Christian".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/pastor-chuck-smith-of-calvary-chapel-reveals-cancer-diagnosis-66170/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Chuck Smith Has Cancer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; Given his age, 84 this is not unexpected, cancer is a horrible illness no matter the age.&amp;nbsp; I tend to think he is among the seared but pray for repentance for everyone.

I wonder if anyone else is noticing or even cares?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure we have lots of new shiny toys, Ipods and fancy IPads, and Droids [are these names right?], and basically what amounts to fancy cell phones that one can go on the internet with, but has anyone asked &lt;b&gt;why the power still goes out like it's the 1930's everytime there is an ice storm, hurricane or a bit of a high wind?&lt;/b&gt; That is just one way, this seems to be the era of empty toys and style over substance on the material level. Even the woefully limited gas power generators, are only for the wealthy or the extreme well-off prepper who has a 100 gallon gas tank in his own yard. Tons of shiny toys for the populace, but no real changes to the infrastructure which seems to be collapsing around us in America and just more wasted frenzy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I feel like everything is whizzing by me and that includes people who are becoming even more out of touch, and busy and it's like personal "production" and work is everything. It can hurt to be shunted aside so often, that person asks, "why try anymore"? Thankfully I find people who think like I do out there, who are not entranced by it all. To be frank, sometimes I just want to say, &lt;i&gt;"Look, they want you to be a hamster on a spinning wheel because it keeps you from thinking too much!"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has anyone sat down and wondered about where all the &lt;i&gt;"we need to brag about being busy" &lt;/i&gt;stuff came from where everyone is busy spinning on the hamster wheel? No one ever slows down anymore. Where is the "dancing as fast as we can" ethos coming from? Where everyone feels they need to be on the move every second. Some of us can't keep up and watch it all, rather dumbfounded. I understand people having&lt;a href="http://20somethingfinance.com/american-hours-worked-productivity-vacation/"&gt; long work hours&lt;/a&gt; to contend with, but does anyone ever stop up look around and think, &lt;i&gt;"Hey what I am doing?"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe this stuff has affected relationships, I talked about this issue before in this blog article: &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/05/social-disconnection_18.html"&gt;"Social Disconnection Vs. Loving One Another"&lt;/a&gt;. What are all the broken connections doing to people? Lately I have thought of this, it is leading to a growing callousness. Even the Christian world, seems to be just as career and success driven. What happens to people when they only see the back end of others, or they realize in the busy competitive parade, that they can easily be 'replaced' and are seen as &lt;b&gt;disposable &lt;/b&gt;people? Ever been a disposable person yourself? Once that happens, it can alter a person's view of the world quite a bit. Some of us come to God where He is our everything for a reason. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That too, I will warn people while I have had close friendships over the internet, some friendships lasting for over 10 years, formed long distance, I have found myself pondering the reality that you really cannot know someone the same way, you do online as you do in person. One thing write a blog like this one, and there are folks who do come out of the woodwork, and they do not all have your best interests at heart even while they may pretend to in the beginning. Sometimes it can even be scary, how so many will approach you seeming to be "friendly" in the email box,&amp;nbsp; but you realize something is not right. Hey I am one to be blunt, I am tired of liars. A few on there are not, but too many are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even thinking about those modern evangelical books, &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/06/david-platts-book-radical-programming.html"&gt;Platt's&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/francis-chans-crazy-love-same-messages.html"&gt;Chan's&lt;/a&gt; telling Christians to "go save the world", I think about this stuff. Friend goes to another megachurch friend, &lt;i&gt;"Can you help me move next weekend, no sorry I have to go to Haiti, Yemen, [name other distant third world nation here] next week!"&lt;/i&gt;. It looks like everyone is busy filling their resume's even in Christian world. Everything is about running all over the place. I saw this in the Catholic and mainline church world, where good women, who were well meaning, somehow seemed to think they had to work their fingers to the bone, and be busy every second, to please God. Even think about Mary and Martha here, Martha is the one running around getting upset because Mary isn't staying as busy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Luke 10:38Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; 39And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; 40But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; 41And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; 42But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd rather be Mary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;One other thing in modern life, and one way they have kept everyone busy, distracted and overwhelmed is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;imposing impossible standards. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;Many people relay to me, how they feel like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;nothing is ever good enough&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;, and live their lives under endless rules, and imposing bosses at the workplace. I have seen this change too, where instead of just showing up for an honest day of labor, people are buried in rules. The tyranny of the bean counters is growing. We see this even at the governmental level too as they impose so many news laws and rules, everyone can barely keep up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;Everyone wants to be perfect by standards by other people, forgetting God's standards and seeing life as nothing but a long list of rules, and expecting everyone to be "perfect". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;False religions all impose impossible rules that wear people down &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;but so does the modern "religion" of success and being of this world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;1 Corinthians 3:19&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "perfection" pressures ranges from the cosmetic and plastic surgery world, where&lt;b&gt; "perfect bodies" &lt;/b&gt;are demanded especially as a huge pressure on women. Then there are the huge pressures to have "professional" level standards imposed everywhere. Here others determine what is acceptable and not acceptable. Even with this blog, there are those who seem to think unless it is written to the same level as someone with a hired staff, it has no place. I just say, &lt;i&gt;"Hey give it a rest with the impossible standards!" &lt;/i&gt;Normal people, cast to the fringes of society while only the most 'successful' [or read here most &lt;b&gt;conformist&lt;/b&gt;] need apply! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people barely feel free to live their lives, as the societal straitjackets grow tighter and tighter. There are many people out there, who even under these pressures do not feel they can do "good" enough and so do not even try. It is simply another way to pound the round pegs into the square holes and it works effectively to suppress people. Many barely feel like they can step out of the house, nowadays, leaving everything to the supposed EXPERTS. Well, I know I don't have 3 Phds behind my name, and admit to my failings. This isn't anything that is new to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;2 Corinthians 12:9&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if I told you, that these changes in society are horrifying me, like they have thrown everything that is important in life, into a giant pit, and threw a match on it and burned it all up and most do not even care. I see a land of &amp;nbsp;people, who insist on everyone being the same, and who beat others down, even with a smile on their face. They are enticed with their toys, delusional dreams and buying into all the new standards without questioning any of it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps all of those who age grieve over what is being lost, but when you see everything you value, being destroyed and the suffering this causes to so many, it does give you a different view of things. Add to that the people who are running themselves ragged to fit impossible standards, this has included an older lady I know who exercises 6 hours a day at the Y, to prove some kind of odd discipline to the world to people who do not even have any friends, yes they are out there, because success comes before anything else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans are not free, well we enjoyed more freedom then many for years but this is becoming &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/10/be-not-conformed-to-this-world-lockstep.html"&gt;one of the most conformist societies &lt;/a&gt;ever in world history. If you don't measure up, and we see the disenfranchised and poor out there too, you are cast adrift as an "outcast"! &lt;b&gt;Hey embrace your "outcast" status. If you are the REAL DEAL, that is what you will be. I'd rather keep company with those who have hearts for God, rather then those who want to be perfect by the world's standards and impress others.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are becoming an &lt;a href="http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20in%20Government/Police%20State/oppressive_society.htm"&gt;oppressive society&lt;/a&gt;,[note about link, I do not agree with author on every matter ] you think the oppression is to just to be applied to your body, and physical controls via the police state, cameras, surveillance, airport searches? &lt;b&gt;No it's being applied to your MIND as well &lt;/b&gt;and people far smarter then you, are working heavily to influence you and your loved ones.&amp;nbsp; Are you allowing yourself to be changed by this world, or are you allowing the Holy Spirit to change you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rom 12:2 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;Is anyone else here thinking about the changes in modern life, and how it's all about control and imposing impossible standards to oppress people? God help me in dealing with and watching this whole farce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-3877931315132665569?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/3877931315132665569/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/more-on-troubles-with-modern-life.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/3877931315132665569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/3877931315132665569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/more-on-troubles-with-modern-life.html' title='More on The Troubles With Modern Life'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M8wLgoZ06hM/TvxjzQrqbGI/AAAAAAAABkA/hQqaLJbq4gI/s72-c/busy_person.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-8540264619302236132</id><published>2011-12-29T02:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-29T02:56:59.769-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Some Comments About This Blog</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TUdvtYuvnKE/Tvvg3c-KbEI/AAAAAAAABj0/8q7_2K5KYt8/s1600/Computer+class.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TUdvtYuvnKE/Tvvg3c-KbEI/AAAAAAAABj0/8q7_2K5KYt8/s320/Computer+class.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am an ordinary person, ie: there is no money for proofreaders and unlike the known bible teachers, I do not have a staff to go over each and every article.&amp;nbsp; I am not here to please man, and if I made every article English teacher perfect, I probably would have the output reduced to maybe one article every two months. I try my best, that is all I will say.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This society is too focused on everything being "perfect" to the point of obsession. Research is my stronger suit, writing does not come easy, but if you are going to play Mrs. or Mr. Nit Picker, there are plenty of blogs with perfect grammar and spelling out there and ones written by professional journalists to please you. People know their limitations, perhaps I will never publish a best selling book, they wouldn't allow anything I write about through the door anyhow. In fact when feeling led to start this blog, there were worries about my abilities and limitations expressed in prayer to God.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;That said if you find a mistake, and it is glaring and it doesn't regard comma placement, but switched words or a broken link or something, I do not mind being told.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;To others, do not write me if you are going to just play games, I can tell if you are a sincere person or not. Sincere people operate in a different fashion. They do not try to manipulate, or ask me strange questions or send weird links they insist I click on. I probably should screen the emails to this blog more and refuse to answer more of them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lately I want to ask my readers, what do you think of this blog?

The main problem is with the people that the Bible calls "Nicolaitans", those who Christians allow to conquer and suppress them. (From the Greek, the word "nico" means "suppression or conquering of" and "laos" is where we get the word laity which means people). In Revelation 2:6 and 2:15, Jesus said that He hates the practices and teachings of the Nicolaitans.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not surprisingly, most Nicolaitans refuse to acknowledge and admit that they are Nicolaitans. They make the false claim that no one can really know what a Nicolaitan is or is not. Most just quote a popular fairytale that the word means a follower of the mythical heretic Niclaus. Not so. The truth is we know quite clearly exactly what the word means and exactly who these people are. Plus, it doesn't make any sense that Jesus would mention something that He hates and then never let us know what exactly that He was talking about.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Today there is no shortage of those who want a counterfeit Saul to be king over them and there is no shortage of Nicolaitans who want to be that king in the place of Christ. (By the way, the definition of antichrist is one who opposes Christ and/or stands in His place). At least God told Samuel to appoint Saul as king. Even though God was displeased with the fact that Israel wanted a man as king instead of Him, he still authorized Saul’s appointment. Today’s multitude of counterfeit “Sauls” have no such authorization from God. They are self-appointed and people powered. Here’s why we know that they are counterfeit leaders (they may be real Christians but they are false pastors): &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus (Matt 28:18).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jesus alone is the Head of the church (John 5:26-27, Eph 1:22-23, Col 1:18).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;God does not permit Christians to have controlling authority over other Christians in the church (see Matt 20:25-28, Mark 10:42-45, Luke 22:24-27, 1Pet 5:3, Matt 23:8-12, etc.).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We do not have multiple special high priests over us. There is only One High Priest, Jesus Christ (see Hebrews 3:1, 4:14).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We have One Master Christ and we are all brothers (see Matt 23: 8-12).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You cannot obey two masters; you will love the one and hate the other (Matt 6:24, Luke 6:13). You simply cannot obey Jesus as master and a pastor as master at the same time. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is a big difference between genuine behind-the-scenes loving elders who stand firmly for sound doctrine and admonish the Body of Christ to obey the Bible compared to a Nicolaitan one-man show who teaches his own agenda and draws men away to himself through manmade teachings and traditions. While the Bible makes it clear that we are supposed to submit to governmental authorities such as to the police and obey the laws of our land (pay taxes, obey traffic laws, live peacealby, etc.), we are also commanded to not set up authoritarian systems or regimes within Christian churches.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is where one has to read the Bible in full context and not listen to authoritarian pastors abuse verses like this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hbr 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ponder this one, why is "they" in that verse automatically translated by the hirelings to mean themselves???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giving account could even be on the day you die, where those doing it with JOY, know you are going to HEAVEN under the blood of Jesus Christ. &lt;u&gt;Do mere men watch our souls?&lt;/u&gt; Most in the mega-churches do not even barely know the names of their congregants beyond their souls. &lt;strong&gt;Ask yourself who really has RULE over you?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I named this blog after a chapter in the Bible,  Galatians 4, this is one chapter, I read while in the Catholic church, that basically helped to break the chains. I still remember the day I read it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gal 4:1 ¶ Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gal 4:2   But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gal 4:3   Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gal 4:4   But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gal 4:5   To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does that sound like you are supposed to bow before a tyrant in the pulpit and do everything he says?  We are children of God, and with God we are to obey Him but that is a loving relationship of Father to His children. There are endless verses as this other author points out, that tell us we are not to live in bondage. He is correct. I always found the irony of ex-Catholics now new evangelicals holding to things like the blind authority shepherd movement and following so many "bible pastors" so blindly--such as the Moses Model in Calvary Chapel to the extreme. &lt;u&gt;What does it mean if you simply have replaced one Pope with another, and many of these churches HAVE DONE THAT.&lt;/u&gt; Even all the talk of "leadership" should make you cringe, as we watch these hirelings openly compete for the most obedient to them and compliant congregations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He sums up his website thusly:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;Many professing Christian churches today are unbiblical slave camps that exist to serve the agendas of men. These "churches" can be likened to a modern day Egypt and the alleged “men of God" in the pulpits can be likened to Pharaohs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree, look how the churches now are being used for &lt;strong&gt;total socio-political control.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time for many Christians comes where you are faced with the decision to follow God or man, we must make the right one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-2967077453653629839?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/2967077453653629839/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/should-pastor-rule-over-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/2967077453653629839'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/2967077453653629839'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/should-pastor-rule-over-you.html' title='&quot;Should A Pastor Rule Over You&quot;?'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hy6f-JbmZKI/TvtQTt0o2iI/AAAAAAAABjo/HqqHe9LXHdg/s72-c/preacher.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-5963471363708390322</id><published>2011-12-28T08:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-28T08:27:03.839-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Catholic church'/><title type='text'>The Definition of Hypocrisy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2078403/Pope-Benedict-condemns-superficial-glitter-surrounds-Christmas-midnight-mass-St-Peters.html"&gt;"Pope Condemns Superficial Glitter"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man is surrounded by glitter...even Las Vegas shows barely keep up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

While the Bible outlines roles for teachers and elders and for preaching, something went awry when church became a "stage show". Jesus warned against the lies of the Nicolaitans and we are seeing the outcome of the modern Nicolatian church. It isn't just the Catholics who brought out the Pope and priests to "rule" over everyone contrary to the book of Galatians but the Protestants and evangelicals on down, have entered into that error as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mar 10:42   But Jesus called them [to him], and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mar 10:43   But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mar 10:44   And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's not supposed to be a one man show. Jesus Christ is our High Priest and Whom the attention should be focused on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hbr 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-8570223205940079781?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/8570223205940079781/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/bob-preacher.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8570223205940079781'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8570223205940079781'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/bob-preacher.html' title='Bob: The Preacher'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W0FgM8yofu4/TvYkTL_ShqI/AAAAAAAABjQ/Hfvj_BdclTY/s72-c/pastor-bob_4_3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-762729112494594601</id><published>2011-12-24T07:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-24T07:26:16.985-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biblical Encouragement'/><title type='text'>Who Loves The Truth?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4sgZpVy395Q/TvXqJKdJ3MI/AAAAAAAABjE/iRU-xhmXjXQ/s1600/truth-small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="309" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4sgZpVy395Q/TvXqJKdJ3MI/AAAAAAAABjE/iRU-xhmXjXQ/s400/truth-small.jpg" width="388" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Psalms 25:5   Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Psalms 86:11   Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's society is a sea of lies, where truth is coming at more precious price everyday. Propaganda on the news, endless lies from the pulpit and it enters even into personal relationships where "appearances" count for the most among many especially in dominantly narcissistic American culture where substance and flash counts for everything while the inside is empty. Today to be a speaker of truth, often does not give one an easy life. The rejection can be harsh. Many hate the truth and do not want to hear it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know there are many sincere good people out there, who try to live decent lives, who love their families and friends, who are lost or swimming adrift in false churches, just not knowing any better. I sometimes do think of these people and many I love and care about fit into this category, and think how do they not know? Do they ever question or inside wonder about things? Hopefully those who are born again will listen to the warnings of the Holy Spirit as things progress out there in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;2 Corinthians 4:2   But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I try to warn and teach who I can, but I know people are in different places and we all can take&amp;nbsp; time to learn something. In today's world, even looking at the whole network of lies meant to dissuade people from all varieties of media, it is even a miracle of God, that some of us can step outside it all and see what is truly going on. God will reward those who seek his truth in all sincerity. Those who love God also desire His truth and His Word. It sometimes is alarming though as someone who has not been in a church for some years, to look from the "outside" into "church culture" and notice how much of the same lies, in so many places have enticed so many, and for those who are not fooled, but sit there anyway, fearing lost of position and a social place. Even in the Catholic church, I knew those who at times allowed their thoughts to question the place, but the social pressures to stay and "not rock the boat" kept them sitting the pew. Where is the love of truth there, when some even know they are being lied to but just accept it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, I do not try to be a &lt;i&gt;"I know more then you"&lt;/i&gt; Pharisee, I had time to study many did not share, and had years in the UU studying comparative religions, and my time in the UU, basically was a immersion in the practice micro-cosm of the one world church to come. Add to that the Catholic upbringing and knowledge, and then bring in salvation in Jesus Christ and why wouldn't I with the Holy Spirit leading the way, figure out some of their tricks? When UU, I was told, &lt;i&gt;"no one ever leaves the UU to become a Christian"&lt;/i&gt;. In fact I was told I was an extreme rarity and perhaps that is true. There is still a lot I do not know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God knows each individual and what they have been told, and what they know and who they are and where they are at. Salvation of course and being born born again is what counts, but the Bible tells us this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Luke 12:48 &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There too we must preach the truth in love to those God sends us to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sometimes ask why some of us have been shown some things. It is not an easy task, and at the worse times feel like a burden.  There are times lately I want to shut down this blog, and walk away and leave all this behind but always ask God first what He wants me to do. If He tells me to keep at it, I will obey.  I have grief watching this stuff, grief for the lost, grief for those being deceived, grief for my years being lost in false churches, grief for all the confessing "Christian" world in general seeing the abyss it is being marched off to.  Realizing the endless phonies out there, who play games and ripping the veil off all the evil, to try and warn people, it is not easy and is often painful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You wonder about all those we have found out working for Lucifer, in their endless networks. Why do so few actually 'escape'? Why do we even cheer to see one possibly escape only to find out he is a phony too?  Do they not fear what will come in eternity? There is no fear of God there, they "sell-out' for fame, a name, money or another variety of motivations. They must be so seared they hate the truth. Those in rebellion against God have no love of truth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my book only someone with a totally seared conscience and a certain psychopathic  evil would stand there, preaching "bible truths" all over the world and then be hobnobbing with people helping to build up the new world order or being involved themselves and it's infrastructure. How many preachers out there does that now apply to? Seemingly hordes of them. One can even ask how can such types sleep at night, the conscience has to be burnt to a crisp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that there are secret societies, masonic and luciferian orders under the Pope's authority, all involved out there to deceive millions. But there are those on many lower levels who have become part of the lies and shut down all conscience to serve the father of lies and obey men rather then God and listen to the world in telling them what to do and be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It comes down to this, &lt;b&gt;Does someone love God and His Truth or not?&lt;/b&gt; I do thank God for the opportunity to be able to warn people and to even know the things I found out. If not for the Holy Spirit, I could be snoozing in a Calvary Chapel pew now. We should all have a thankful spirit for God rescuing us out of the endless pits of deception Satan has set up in this world. We need to be bold for Jesus Christ, even when it is not easy, and even feels scary at times. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;1Sa 12:24 Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great [things] he hath done for you.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-762729112494594601?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/762729112494594601/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/who-loves-truth.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/762729112494594601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/762729112494594601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/who-loves-truth.html' title='Who Loves The Truth?'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4sgZpVy395Q/TvXqJKdJ3MI/AAAAAAAABjE/iRU-xhmXjXQ/s72-c/truth-small.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-4274688830875070416</id><published>2011-12-24T06:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-24T06:11:00.503-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Calvary Chapel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Catholic church'/><title type='text'>"Roger Oakland Exposes Not Chuck Missler"</title><content type='html'>I post this with the caveat that this is not an endorsement of this blog which I had expressed concerns about it's&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/10/will-any-calvary-chapel-pastors-or.html"&gt; earlier version.&lt;/a&gt; So I am posting for the information, use discernment, and check everything you see for yourself online that includes everything posted anywhere. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ephesians511blog.blogspot.com/2011/12/roger-oakland-exposes-not-chuck-missler.html"&gt;"Roger Oakland Exposes Not Chuck Missler"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;see&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news4themasses.wordpress.com/"&gt;"A Time To Speak"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rdACo2c5Ezo/TvXdGI7iznI/AAAAAAAABi4/S0qekUegGBc/s1600/Missler.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="252" width="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rdACo2c5Ezo/TvXdGI7iznI/AAAAAAAABi4/S0qekUegGBc/s400/Missler.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I had asked that question myself why expose the Emergent movement and other deceptions but then still work with the likes of Chuck Missler?

Well the way I have seen it done, is they will bring much true information, and warn of real things but then introduce lies. Sometimes the poison to fresh water rate can be 95% vs 5%, but it's the 5% that will get you. Of course in different places the percentages vary. Biblically remember those warnings about the leaven in the bread? What is that but a very small percentage of any loaf of bread?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;Galatians 5:9&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt; A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is Controlled Opposition? It is just one of the many ways of lying, with someone pretending to be something they are not. Mixing truth and lies, that is how the deed is done. The insincere or worker for Satan pretends to take the OPPOSITE SIDE contrary to what they really support behind the scenes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is one basic,&amp;nbsp; a mature Christian must get, that while there are those who will warn about things, they also will use that opportunity to send you astray. &lt;b&gt;Throwing out bread crumbs of real and true information but infusing false information or seeking to discredit or deceive along the way.&lt;/b&gt; Sometimes the games get so intense, the only best decision is to refuse to play. Do your own research and pray to God for the truth on matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember here the Hegelian Dialectic is used, where they take over both sides of an issue. They got people polarized between a divide between both sides, but are really taking them ALL to the same place.  They create false divisions, while leading the people closer and closer to where they want them. Ever hear of the phrase&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis,_antithesis,_synthesis"&gt; Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis&lt;/a&gt;? It is used all the time, to manipulate people and outcomes. How it is done is to first put down the goal they want to achieve and then in opposition they create outrage for a specific problem leading people to move closer to where they want them. Another way that is more simple to put it, and a phrase I use often here, is &lt;b&gt;TWO SIDES AGAINST THE MIDDLE.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; Here is a pictured example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8ydkRtiLgcw/TvH_1I6sIvI/AAAAAAAABiA/e8ibpJdOAtU/s1600/dialectic_half.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8ydkRtiLgcw/TvH_1I6sIvI/AAAAAAAABiA/e8ibpJdOAtU/s320/dialectic_half.jpg" width="304" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/bb970219.htm"&gt;This website&lt;/a&gt; also illustrates many examples of the Hegelian Dialectic being utilized. Here are some pictured examples, to help you understand this method.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-No_M5iIytaM/TvIFeh6KRAI/AAAAAAAABiM/5iQ5iVldMSc/s1600/HD1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="194" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-No_M5iIytaM/TvIFeh6KRAI/AAAAAAAABiM/5iQ5iVldMSc/s400/HD1.PNG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-osNRjOuNGWs/TvIFjqkXg1I/AAAAAAAABiY/fABh-elfglU/s1600/HD2.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="283" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-osNRjOuNGWs/TvIFjqkXg1I/AAAAAAAABiY/fABh-elfglU/s400/HD2.PNG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sQssJc75WDs/TvIFnodUrZI/AAAAAAAABik/Rx3kUBvpBC8/s1600/HD3.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="301" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sQssJc75WDs/TvIFnodUrZI/AAAAAAAABik/Rx3kUBvpBC8/s400/HD3.PNG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learning about that, will help you understand how and why things are being done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As people know who have read my blog enough, I have warned about the Right and Left Deception, both the Democrat and Republican party being a whole false facade show, as America is taking into globalism and into the plans of the luciferians who run the whole show for a long time. I see even the "right and left" divide in the churches, but they are all going to the same place too. The "conservative" Rick Warrens and Francis Chan's, and Calvary Chapel pastors embrace the whole globalist plan as well as the "leftists" here too like Jim Wallis, Wild Goose Festival attenders, and Joan Chittister's of the world. Sit down and think what really is the core difference, they all support globalism, the UN, world "unity", and the aims of the elites. &lt;b&gt;As you sit down and ponder what group is NOT signed on to the program? Go down the list of denominations in your mind. &lt;/b&gt;Even many of the fundamentalist churches via Dominionism are being roped in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;There is a lot of lies out there, being mixed with truths and its all meant to take you to the same place, where Satan wants you. The same techniques are being used all over the place.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have seen websites that warn about the idolatry and intrigue of Catholicism and then lead you on the rabbit trail to the New Age while claiming to be Christian, I have seen a website that warn about endless false leaders but which allows no talk regarding false bible versions and dissent regarding the Pre-Trib Rapture whatosever. I have seen websites that warn of the world-wide New Age movement and its deceptions but then lead people to unity with Rome as the answer. Some places even have full blown lists of all new world order movers and shakers, and their Lausanne connections and detailed luciferian networks but then blow your mind claiming there is nothing wrong with taking an RFID chip, or allowing someone named 'sheepwrecked' [obvious name that] to ravage posters on the in-house forum and preach everything anti-Christian they can come up with. I have discovered even a "Christian fundamentalist" forum that is full of anti-fundamentalists and occultists. There is a blog similar to mine, where the blogger exposes the many machinations of the new world order and deceptions in the churches but then oddly has a sister website that supports the patriarchy movement, Quiverful and it's Catholic friendly founders. Then we have the Calvary Chapel exposers who behind the scenes in one case that teacher still does Bible conferences with an already exposed NWO "insider" and other strangeness has been apparent. Normal sincere people can have errors but when you see such huge discrepancies all over the place it really makes you think. One thing too, as I learned watching all the deceit, is some of the "controlled opposition" types will fight each other, you know kind of like the Republican/Democratic party stage show, as they lead you down the same satanic primrose path. Just more part of the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincere real ordinary people are out there, even if sometimes you start feeling like you are in the minority. They ARE out there. But don't forget we are in major spiritual warfare, and there are many who do not want the truth told or want it so confused and/or used for their own agendas. I still think of the days where I saw so many "phonies" on Christian message boards, where things just didn't add up, and knew that in many cases, I was not dealing with sincere ordinary people who may be wrong or just didn't agree with me, but something else all together. When I learned about a technique known as &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/georgemonbiot/2011/feb/23/need-to-protect-internet-from-astroturfing"&gt;"astroturfing"&lt;/a&gt;. I knew that one guy could run a website and play 30 different personalities, this told me a lot of what could go on. That actually is my lead theory about the phony fundamentalist message board.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I even ran across a website that warns against false holidays, and deceptions for Christians but then tells people to blindly obey all governments, and extreme patriarchal teachings. I could discern this site as even a would be false website, maybe even put up by an unbeliever to mock. Like a more subtle form of Landover Baptist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I talk a little bit about what I discovered on these blog entries, the games, the lies, the deceit....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2010/12/problems-with-christian-message-boards.html"&gt;"The Problems with Christian Message Boards"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/05/there-is-deception-at-every-layer.html"&gt;"There is Deception At Every Layer"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there are the &lt;b&gt;SINCERE&lt;/b&gt; people who get things wrong, and who need time to be shown things via the Holy Spirit. Many of us make mistakes. There are things even I am studying now, like the would be millenial kingdom so I can write properly on it, and it's taken a bit longer then I have wanted. Ordinary people are not perfect, but having been to the rodeo called the Internet long enough and seen the scripts and games carried out, you learn to discern between those sincere people who you simply may disagree with whether those matters be major or minor, or who need more time to be shown things via the Holy Spirit and those who well are playing games and trying to fool you &lt;b&gt;PURPOSEFULLY&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trust me there are tons of them out there who want to fool you ON PURPOSE, and this goes beyond a lot of people who simply are deceived themselves by Catholicism, The New Age, and neo-evangelical movement but goes even deeper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And trust me they got a net, and a lie, for everyone who wiggles out. I find websites interesting where they will even talk about controlled opposition and deep research but then you will "note" something "wrong", as they tell you the Protocols of Zion are running the show [I believe actually written by the Jesuits], downplay the Vatican's role or leave it out altogether, or send you on a new rabbit trail of deceit of some sort.  Even if one looks at the warnings of Calvary Chapel constantly about the Emergent movement while behind the scenes hobnobbing with Knights of Malta and Billy Graham, that is an example of how that game is played. Think to yourself about how many ex-Catholics left Rome, and then started going to a Calvary Chapel thinking it was a true church but they are basically being led back to where they started from. Controlled opposition, that is how it works. In other words, Calvary Chapel was presented as an "opposition" to Rome [you know Bible believing church supposedly opposed to what Rome has to offer] but leading people to the same place, back to Rome, world religious unity via the likes of Billy Graham and we heard from the founder's own mouth that he considers Catholics Christians too now last week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is happening all over the Christian world, just not on "truther" websites, or websites that discuss political "intrigue" or "conspiracy theory" or anything that is more on the fringes. It's happening in day to day life. It is happening in the books, the literature, the magazines. This blog I only have time to cover the tip of the iceberg, this is where Christians need to sharpen up, and look to God first and test everything. This is also where your relationship with God will play a role. We all come under temptations, who always wants to be on the edges looking in or for those without a church going years without local Christian fellowship it is tough but Jesus must be first in our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see the deceit, and understand how very subtle it all is. People will tell you and there is a lot of pressure out there, "do not be negative" and will tell you that you are making "mountains" out of "molehills", but think about what the Bible says here. Why does it warn of deception so much? Why so much deception especially in the last days? Luciferian deception is a reality. I know for Christians who mature in the faith and are shown things by the Lord, it can hit you in the face like a wet blanket, finding out just how deep the deceptions go and how the LARGE the numerous numbers of false preachers is. How does one cope with the finding this out? Well this is where you look to God's Word, realize we were warned and look to it, to give you your knowledge. One Bible book, I think is a good one to read to apply to these times is the book of Jude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;Jude 1:17&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;17But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;18How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;19These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;22And of some have compassion, making a difference: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;23And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"&gt;24Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a shorter book in the Bible, but there is a lot in there, describing I think many aspects of this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost the entire society has been set up as a "control grid" to steer you wrong, and it only has grown stronger. I am old enough to remember when independent thought was far more numerous. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Don't be disheartened thinking, why are so many of them fakes? Because time after time we were TOLD this would happen in the Bible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mat 24:11   And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mat 24:12   And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mat 24:13   But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my commenters recently asked &lt;b&gt;Who CAN I trust?&lt;/b&gt; Well my advice is, while we may want to trust loved friends, spouses and family members the only person anyone should trust in this world 100% is God. Do not based your faith on anything but God, and do not make the mistake of trusting in a religious leader or in man. That is a surest way to be separated from God if your trust is first in any mere man. I have some religious sermons and writings {really no one "famous" at all anymore except perhaps a few distant in the past} that are good reading, but I have faced disappointment enough times, to know not everything is what it seems, but holding to God first is the most important. That is where my faith rests not in those people. Sadly they will lead many to fall away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are in the days of proliferated hirelings. Even some who 'warn" of deception, are using it to introduce other deceptions or to discredit the sincere. At times I think there are even those who let things be known for other devices or to do so to drown out those truly trying to warn. It is odd to me when a "researcher" seems to know more in a month, then it took some others a year or two years to find out with even more added in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing many of the lukewarm won't admit, is we are in the days of luciferian deception.&lt;b&gt;This may be blunt, but what are the devil's children the best at? Lying!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; Never forget that. If you feel like you are being lied to, and are discerning something troubling even among what "appears" as good information, then you probably are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"&gt;John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ponder why the Bible has all those warnings about wolves in sheep's clothing over and over again. This isn't a game but the truth. They will appear nice, and as your allies and be anything but. This is harsh reality that many do not want to face but I believe as people grow in faith and realize how many religious leaders out there are deceivers and not just the obvious ones, they start to understand just how much Satan is using people and to what ends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why does the Bible warn so much about deceptions and betrayals?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;Jer 9:3   And they bend their tongues [like] their bow [for] lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;Jer 9:4   Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;Jer 9:5   And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, [and] weary themselves to commit iniquity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;Jer 9:6   Thine habitation [is] in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a reason for that. It is what happens. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keep loving truth and following God no matter what&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"&gt;Psalm 25:5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"&gt;Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-8589263242096944136?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/8589263242096944136/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/children-of-father-of-lies-controlled.html#comment-form' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8589263242096944136'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8589263242096944136'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/children-of-father-of-lies-controlled.html' title='The Children of the Father of Lies: Controlled Opposition'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YkRCOmVl0Tk/TvIPdGTUsqI/AAAAAAAABis/xGkq-bNFMYk/s72-c/wolf.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-8503903093072087584</id><published>2011-12-20T06:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-20T06:54:30.736-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rick Warren'/><title type='text'>Rick Warren Opens PEACE CENTER</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xvsQEcSnuGI/TvCha6CWb5I/AAAAAAAABh4/hX2-GcIn3e0/s1600/rickwarren2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xvsQEcSnuGI/TvCha6CWb5I/AAAAAAAABh4/hX2-GcIn3e0/s400/rickwarren2.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Rick Warren is bringing his P.E.A.C.E plan to America too: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ocregister.com/articles/saddleback-331260-peace-warren.html"&gt;"Rick Warren to open PEACE Center at Saddleback Church"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;That gift, according to Warren, is called the PEACE Center, a building at the church's main Lake Forest campus that will be open to anyone in need.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The facility will provide services such as a walk-in food pantry complete with fresh produce grown at Saddleback's Rancho Capistrano campus, legal and financial counseling, HIV/AIDS testing, English-as-a-second-language tutoring and information and assistance with adoption and foster care.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is it's &lt;a href="http://www.saddleback.com/aboutsaddleback/peacecenter/"&gt;website.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost sounds like social services agency. It is strange how much more churches are getting into the social services business, yes Christians should help each other, but one thing I wonder, as the faith based government and religious partnerships grow bigger and bigger how many will be drawn into these false churches just to even get any help for food and more. The social workers will be saying "Go there!" for their clients to get additional help. I don't blame those in need but it really has me pondering where this is all going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember Rick Warren's P.E.A.C.E plan and United Nations Millennium goals go hand in hand. So these programs will be bringing those home to the USA now and it won't just  be for the third world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QPfQzvHXtW8/TvCghqkrMUI/AAAAAAAABhs/2yYLm-x-QCo/s1600/Rick%2BWarren.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="204" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QPfQzvHXtW8/TvCghqkrMUI/AAAAAAAABhs/2yYLm-x-QCo/s400/Rick%2BWarren.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-8503903093072087584?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/8503903093072087584/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/rick-warren-opens-peace-center.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8503903093072087584'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8503903093072087584'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/rick-warren-opens-peace-center.html' title='Rick Warren Opens PEACE CENTER'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xvsQEcSnuGI/TvCha6CWb5I/AAAAAAAABh4/hX2-GcIn3e0/s72-c/rickwarren2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-5289227592382807576</id><published>2011-12-20T06:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-20T06:35:41.320-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='One World Religion-Interfaith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Catholic church'/><title type='text'>James Robison Leading Protestants To Rome</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/G_01DEaFkhs" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew Life Today was a false show long ago. James Robison name pops up with the other wolves often enough. This is one I had no doubt was a phony years ago. Notice what James Robison says to this priest, saying he is speaking for God, ignoring the false gospel and idolatry of Roman Catholicism. This is about leading Protestants to the Catholic church. Notice when the priest says &lt;i&gt;"I have accepted the "lord jesus christ" as my personal lord and savior"&lt;/i&gt;. The Catholics know the evangelical lingo, they will use it for their own purposes but it is meaningless. There is no biblical salvation there. Notice when Robison speaks of Billy Graham, the pied piper of the ecumenical movement, so much of the Protestant paths to Rome were set up by him to deceive. James Robison states&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"If Catholics, evangelicals, Protestants, if only we would come together on common ground, talk about a city set on a hill that cannot be hid"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Well Robison is a Dominionist. Isn't that their goal at the start? Always remember the Catholic church are the original Dominionists seeking power and control over governments and kingdoms with their "church militant".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice the title of the priests book? &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/God-Wants-You-Happy-Self-Help/dp/0061913561"&gt;"God Wants You to Be Happy!"&lt;/a&gt; It looks like your average "feel-good" topic though the book is supposedly against the New Age. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember &lt;a href="http://www.fatherjonathan.com/"&gt;Father Jonathan Morris &lt;/a&gt;is the young priest that often shows up on Fox news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;"As a news analyst for the Fox News and Fox Business Channels, Father Jonathan Morris offers coverage of the ethical, social, and religious news stories of the day. As a Roman Catholic priest with pastoral experience developed from serving around the world, he brings not only a journalist's eye to issues, but also a pastor's heart in relating how that issue will affect the audience."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Morris_%28priest%29"&gt;interesting history&lt;/a&gt;, ordained through the Legion of Christ, [he mentions the leader that was a "fraud" in this group], advisor to Mel Gibson's movie the Passion and multiple TV appearances.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-5289227592382807576?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/5289227592382807576/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/james-robison-leading-protestants-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5289227592382807576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5289227592382807576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/james-robison-leading-protestants-to.html' title='James Robison Leading Protestants To Rome'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/G_01DEaFkhs/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-9075003024191586974</id><published>2011-12-17T07:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-17T07:19:12.967-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New World Order'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Right And Left Deception'/><title type='text'>"While Americans Shopped, the Constitution Was Shredded"</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NW-e7z7S6VI" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This video was done by a supporter of Ron Paul, so have to post with caveat I am not a Ron Paul supporter though I agree with what he states in this video, what I want people to see is the other things in the video especially the quote by Adolf Hitler in displaying where all this is going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some days ago, I posted this regarding this new NDAA bill:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/11/dying-american-freedom.html"&gt;"Dying American Freedom"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember this is the bill that names America as part of the "battlefield" and now allows imprisonment of US citizens without a trial?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EfTOxen_Y4M/TuyuY9CQFpI/AAAAAAAABhg/mGATMjqaGD4/s1600/ndaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="214" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EfTOxen_Y4M/TuyuY9CQFpI/AAAAAAAABhg/mGATMjqaGD4/s320/ndaa.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had some people of the leftist and overly optimistic ilk,&amp;nbsp; tell me &lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;"Oh no, Obama will veto it!"&lt;/i&gt; I told them, &lt;i&gt;"No, they will let this one through, it is part of the plan."&lt;/i&gt; And now he will be signing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GnsDenUhU6A" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very few know about &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/12/16/founder-internet-fears-unprecedented-web-censorship-from-sopa/"&gt;SOPA&lt;/a&gt;, which is a new backdoor way for them to censor the web, if that is passed, no free sharing of anything will be allowed. I actually perceive even many blogs as being in danger. I save my articles from this blog, knowing one day it could be removed, because many out there do not like what it has to say. Years ago, I used to tell fellow Christians, our years of &lt;a href="http://www.indianastatesman.com/opinion/sopa-threatens-to-destroy-internet-1.2727731#.TuyXM9Q13O0"&gt;freedom on the web&lt;/a&gt;, will be limited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, the freedom destruction of SOPA and NDAA are intertwined:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/268638/20111216/ndaa-suppress-internet-freedom.htm"&gt;"NDAA Bill Aims to Suppress Internet Freedom"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lack of due process for American citizens will be applied to &lt;a href="http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=316914"&gt;websites&lt;/a&gt; as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the NDAA bill, has anyone noticed there is so little outcry? Even posting these videos, the numbers of viewers are small. I believe America was on it's way to tyranny right after 9-11 and that things would only be made worse as the years passed by and it has happened. The majority remain blind to what is happening. Even trying to warn and talk to others about this, most do not care or dismiss it, only those who are already new world order aware or discerning are paying attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8zBeXiWFm48/Tuyt6x_IppI/AAAAAAAABhY/YnY3JbVrUZI/s1600/obama_ndaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="316" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8zBeXiWFm48/Tuyt6x_IppI/AAAAAAAABhY/YnY3JbVrUZI/s320/obama_ndaa.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama even in 2009 announced some of his plans: The wicked powers that be often know they can announce their plans even out in open, and most will remain deceived. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jXqog3txQUs" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Congressman, Levin, is one of the traitors to American freedom who helped advance this bill, but notice what he says here about the "administration"?&lt;b&gt; He let it be known, that it was Obama himself who demanded they remove the part about exempting American citizens from indefinite detainment.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/u2gJNQv6WI4" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven't talked much about this, but many people deemed "conspiracy theorists" have warned of prison camps in America. I believe there is truth to many of those warnings even from years ago. Already I am encountering people who have told me that speaking out against these things is "foolish" given what could be coming down the road. I am of the mind, that the Christian's duty is to speak out against evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.apfn.org/apfn/camps.htm"&gt;"American Concentration Camps"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;History repeats itself, all the methods of totalitarian countries before are being used in America. Having read memoirs of Nazi Germany including hearing the stories of now deceased in-laws who lived through it, and Stalin Russia, &lt;u&gt;the techniques remain the same across the board&lt;/u&gt;, except this time, the reach is global and the technology is at a level never seen before. I knew things were bad, but they truly have accelerated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that Satan is running this show but God will have the last word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” – Ephesians 6:12&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-9075003024191586974?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/9075003024191586974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/while-americans-shopped-constitution.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/9075003024191586974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/9075003024191586974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/while-americans-shopped-constitution.html' title='&quot;While Americans Shopped, the Constitution Was Shredded&quot;'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/NW-e7z7S6VI/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-1686457316191681374</id><published>2011-12-16T12:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-16T12:15:49.677-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='World Christian Movement'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='false preachers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='False Evangelical Church'/><title type='text'>Francis Chan's Crazy Love: The Same Messages As David Platt</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kpazrPZcD6U/TtPI2Bs6V9I/AAAAAAAABcU/evCZbszj540/s1600/crazy%2Blove.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kpazrPZcD6U/TtPI2Bs6V9I/AAAAAAAABcU/evCZbszj540/s400/crazy%2Blove.jpg" width="256" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wvtNTUV9O50" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Francis Chan is a newer preacher out on the scene and growing in popularity, I have seen this book being sold in a Christian bookstore and all over. One thing Francis Chan endorses &lt;a href="http://www.radicaltogether.com/endorsements.html"&gt;David Platt&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J_FkfezRiWU/TuNqsfnIDfI/AAAAAAAABfk/HfEipYyxKnQ/s1600/Francis%2BChan.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="128" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J_FkfezRiWU/TuNqsfnIDfI/AAAAAAAABfk/HfEipYyxKnQ/s400/Francis%2BChan.PNG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember I posted on David Platt here: &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/06/david-platts-book-radical-programming.html"&gt;"David Platt's Book: "Radical": Programming the Evangelical Churches for Globalism"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well the other day, I read this book from the library and figure I would post on it here. Some aspects of the book, seem to ring true, who doesn't want to be close to God or seek after His Love or help others? He writes about loving his family and good positive things about God.&amp;nbsp; I found myself even drawn in a bit, as he focused on those who "wanted more Jesus" and spoke of "surrendering yourself to God's purposes", but then I realized the book was going the same exact direction of David Platt's book except perhaps in a more subtle manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chan speaks &amp;nbsp;says in his preface..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"It's exhilarating to be part of a group of believers who are willing to think biblically rather then conventionally, to be part of a body where radical living is the norm."&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;As I have stated when I see the word "radical" it worries me a bit. What is&lt;b&gt; radical living&lt;/b&gt;? They never really define the term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read this paragraph then:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"God put me in Simi Valley California to lead a church of comfortable people into lives of risk and adventure. I believe he wants us to love others so much that we go to extremes to help them. I believe &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;He wants us to be known for giving-of our time, our money and our abilities-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and to start a movement of "giving" churches. In so doing, we can alleviate the suffering in the world and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;change the reputation of his bride in America."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I find myself thinking aren't there enough churches pandering to the more wealthy who want to to carry out the globalist visions instead of helping their neighbors right around them?. Why is his church only for &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;comfortable&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/u&gt;people? Why aren't there some poor people right in his church or "uncomfortable" folks? Then we have what is basically a summation of the social justice gospel. When one gives, they are not to advertise it to the world seeking to better their own reputation, where does it say in the Bible to do that? I believe the Lord does call us to give to people, money, time, and help to people but it is not supposed to be done &lt;u&gt;being known&lt;/u&gt; so the line &lt;i&gt;"I believe He wants us to be known"&lt;/i&gt; is wrong..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;actually &lt;b&gt;NO, He does not want you to be known......&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;Mat 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see churches here in my community who make a huge show of doing charitable works, a couple even go out way out there and even get the newspaper to report on it with pictures included. To me it is the oddest thing, why the publicity considering what the Bible says? One thing too remember we are having through all &lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/president-obama-executive-order-faith-based-initiative-church/story?id=12180146#.TuNujNQ13O0"&gt;the faith based stuff&lt;/a&gt;, churches and government grow even more intertwined. It actually in some places will be hard to even get charity, without it being connected to a false church. Many poor will have no other places to go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read the faith based link in the paragraph above, and do you notice something?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;"Groups are reminded they must keep their&lt;u&gt; &lt;b&gt;religious activities entirely separate in time&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; and location, from the services provided with federal funds"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I would take that to mean they plan on making it though you cannot witness to those you help. Yes that is happening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The social justice stuff, is leading churches to some really weird places. Chan advances the &lt;em&gt;"change the world"&lt;/em&gt; social justice stuff the same as Platt. There is still the same condemnation towards Americans and the pressure to go give to the third world not for true missions, or help that way, but to service the wealth distribution mantra of the United Nations and carry out the agenda of the Lausanne influenced World Christian Movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is always ironic to me watching out of touch wealthy pastors, who do not even admit that America is in it's own depression. He writes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"I think most American churchgoers are the the soil that chokes the seed because of all the thorns"[p.67]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Lukewarm people are thankful for their luxuries and comforts and rarely consider trying to give as much to the poor. [snip] Untold number of lukewarm pepople feel "called" to minister to the rich, very few feel "called" to minister to the poor." [p.75]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;He goes down the list of what he considers to be lukewarm people. It seems to match a lot of Platt's, one line even seems to make one think that being healthy and having a full refrigerator is a sin.&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Now do not get me wrong, I believe Christians are NOT to be materialistic, and should help the poor.But understand why people are feeding these lines, they want to guilt the mostly middle-class and beyond classes in America into giving all their wealth away overseas, to not even know about what is happening in their own country and even advance poverty as "being more holy".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The social justice gospel, and false teachings like this have helped the American church sell it's own people down the road and while our economy collapses, we got guys writing stuff like this. &amp;nbsp;Reading this stuff is always weird to me, as I know &lt;u&gt;plenty&lt;/u&gt; now having a hard time keeping groceries on the table. God always will provide needs of the believer, how come they never talk about that? &lt;b&gt;How come the stress is always on the DOING and NOT THE BELIEVING?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be frank, take your average corrupt third world nation, with it's people following the law of the jungle mentality, and I've seen this apply in dangerous inner city areas in America before, their belief in the gospel and being regenerated VIA the Holy Spirit is the only thing that is going to change anything, and the "get yours or else mentality". They will then be transformed into being Christians who help and share with one another, helping to END the CORRUPTION of daily life, poverty and greed. This isn't going to happen via government programs or even if giant bags of money right now were flown over every poor country and emptied out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Act 2:42   And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Act 2:43   And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Act 2:44   And all that believed were together, and had all things common; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Act 2:45   And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all [men], as every man had need.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, Jesus also told us the poor would always be with us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this is more guilt at the behest of the "end poverty now" UN campaigns rather then preaching the gospel and realizing how people would be changed in helping not only themselves but fellow Christians around them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chan writes;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"They don't depend on God on a daily basis--&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;their refrigerators are full, and for the most part they are in good health. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The truth is, their lives wouldn't look much different if they suddenly stopped believing in God"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I hate to tell Chan, but not everyone in America's refrigerator is full. I have posted many times on this blog, articles and links that speak of the economic collapse in America and the now one in every 7 person's on food stamps in our own country. Even the food banks have reported severe shortages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/shocking-charts-and-statistics-that-prove-that-america-is-no-longer-a-wealthy-nation"&gt;Shocking Charts And Statistics That Prove That America Is No Longer A Wealthy Nation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/tens-of-millions-of-american-families-are-living-on-the-edge-of-desperation-and-the-economy-is-about-to-get-a-whole-lot-worse"&gt;Tens Of Millions Of American Families Are Living On The Edge Of Desperation - And The Economy Is About To Get A Whole Lot Worse&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now I am praying for two friends on the cusp of homelessness. One homeless friend her family got her an apartment and another couple are house-sitting to stay off the streets. God has provided for those people I have prayed for in other ways. &lt;u&gt;Chan does not represent my world.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We get the whole United Nations spiel, out of touch, &lt;b&gt;'Americans are too rich' &lt;/b&gt;spiel just like David Platt from Francis Chan, on page 89&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"If one hundred people represented the world's population, fifty three of those would live on less then $2 dollars a day. Do you realize that if you make $4,000 a month, you automatically make one hundred times more then the average person on this planet? Simply by purchasing this book you spent what a majority of people in the world will make in a week's time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;What is more messed up--that we have so much compared to everyone else, or that we don't think we're rich; that on any given day we might flippantly call ourselves "broke" or "poor"? We are neither of those things. We are rich. Filthy Rich."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Do you feel guilty yet about this matter? Sorry I do not. &amp;nbsp;You wonder if any poor people may get a copy of this book, who are unemployed or down or out and will say, "hey my husband can't afford a needed surgery and they just denied me unemployment but thanks Francis Chan for saying I am "filthy rich"?. What universe is this guy living in?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing a lot of the rest of the world is not based on a consumerist economy where they have to spend money to acquire everything. Many still grow their own food, and know, how to hunt, fish and forage, but we will not hear those facts. We will be told that Americans because of their well now "past" wealth are the reason for all the world's problems and the reason why everyone else is poor. Why don't they go write one of these books for China, who has 4 times the number of people and now a larger economy then our own? Anyhow, even there everything is judged by the cash that is involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This reminds me of what the UUs [Unitarian-Universalists] told me, the &lt;b&gt;EXACT &lt;/b&gt;same spiel. During my UU years is when I faced some of my worse poverty as an adult. I remember those people collecting monies to help revolution in Bali or to keep recycling going and actually quoting UN millennium goals though Francis Chan does not go that far, but ignoring the poverty right within the community that surrounded them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it too far out for me to write that one of my theories is that these false preachers have signed up to help the new world order with the global money clean out of America and to keep the wealthy churches from helping the poor here in our country? The New World Order wants America out of the way, and it's being implemented on many different levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The drumbeat goes on through this book, that people are not helping the poor enough [see page 95] and while Francis Chan keeps repeating he supports the gospel of grace, to try ameliorate this, it fails. He assures his reader:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Perhaps it sounds as though I believe you have to work your way to Jesus. I don't. I fully believe that we are saved by grace through faith..."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He quotes mysticist Heenri Nouwen on page 95 [that is an issue of concern in itself] and then continues:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Let's begin this book by gazing at God in silence. What I want you to do right now is go online and look at the "Awe Factor" video at www.crazylovebook.com to get a taste of the awe factor of our God. Seriously-go do it".&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok I'll be honest here, I haven't gone to see this video yet, and am going to go watch it as I write here. But here is my first question before I go do that, &lt;b&gt;how does one GAZE at God in silence&lt;/b&gt;? Can someone explain that to me? If memory serves me correctly, the Bible speaks of people being unable to even look at God. Looks like I was right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Exodus 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well I went to the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpChZxPfa-c"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LpChZxPfa-c" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does exploring how big the universe is or God's creation the same as "gazing" at God? I felt like I was along on the ride with Carl Sagan who would use the bigness of the universe in his case to deny God and to speak of our "interconnectedness" and to advance the idea of the possibility of &amp;nbsp;lien civilizations. Maybe as a kid I saw too many episodes of his show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0lZ_DMEm-8Q/TuNysa3XjoI/AAAAAAAABfw/NDzJBH3myiY/s1600/carl_sagan2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0lZ_DMEm-8Q/TuNysa3XjoI/AAAAAAAABfw/NDzJBH3myiY/s400/carl_sagan2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I can understand point to the creation to speak of God's greatness and majesty, but I felt Chan was leading me down a weird road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He writes on page 26 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"When I first saw those images, I had to worship. I didn't want to share to or share it with anyone. I just wanted to sit quietly and admire the Creator."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ok maybe I am a nit-picker, but want to say to Francis Chan, God's Creation is NOT HIM.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God is even more then some rocks, blazing stars and galaxies which ironically seem aligned almost as smaller forms like the human nervous system denoting His design.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XCtGCU-tlkQ/TuNzngNCt-I/AAAAAAAABf8/zEcXe-lKBzM/s1600/Galaxy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XCtGCU-tlkQ/TuNzngNCt-I/AAAAAAAABf8/zEcXe-lKBzM/s400/Galaxy.jpg" width="345" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PISFxXfhl0c/TuNz6aOE8VI/AAAAAAAABgI/LBGmUUZaINo/s1600/Brain%2Bcell.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PISFxXfhl0c/TuNz6aOE8VI/AAAAAAAABgI/LBGmUUZaINo/s400/Brain%2Bcell.jpg" width="344" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He goes on to write to ask &lt;i&gt;"Why did God create so many galaxies?" &lt;/i&gt;And that is something interesting to think about but why all the writing about "gazing at God"?&amp;nbsp; When I was UU, they told us essentially that "universe" was "God", I heard that one more times then I want to count, one pastor even had us recite a poem where it said &lt;i&gt;"we were stardust"&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He does go on to discuss more of God's creation into the next chapter and celebrating it. Yes, God's handiwork does speak of Him but this ending paragraph bothered me too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Go read and reread the last two paragraphs. Go to the Website www.crazylovebook.com and watch the "Just Stop and Think" fifteen minute video. Close this book if you need to and meditate on the almighty One who dwells in unapproachable light, &lt;b&gt;the glorious One"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;"Glorious One"? I went to go look up if that is a title for God in the Bible, do not think so. Correct me if I am wrong. God is owed all glory, but I remember this too. &lt;a href="http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/176278-adding-to-the-bible"&gt;Narnia&lt;/a&gt; uses it which doesn't make me feel better &amp;nbsp;about it. It's been used in false religions like &lt;a href="http://tsgfoundation.org/index.php?page=shop.product_details&amp;amp;flypage=shop.flypage&amp;amp;product_id=46&amp;amp;category_id=4&amp;amp;manufacturer_id=0&amp;amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;amp;Itemid=84"&gt;Buddhism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt; Hey God is glorious and the unapproachable light thing is scriptural [1 Tim 6:16] but sometimes you have to wonder. When I read these type of books, I do not only ask how come they never put the two words Jesus Christ together but why I see 'new terms' for God, that were not traditionally used before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the book he goes on to talk about things about God and about lukewarm people. His definition of lukewarm people seems to center on people not "doing enough", advancing more of the social gospel stuff. This kind of message actually can lead people away from the Lord in despair, even if he claims grace, how many people out there are just trying to survive themselves and feeling guilt over not being able to do enough for others? I left the whole "earn" your way into heaven stuff in the Catholic church, while we are to obey God as Christians and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, &lt;b&gt;works based &lt;/b&gt;stuff leads many away from God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He writes on page 95,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;'The lives of many people who call themselves "Christians" in America lack manifestations of a vital and active faith."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do Americans get specially pointed out? American's are not more evil the other people in the world. There are other wealthy countries on the globe and wickedness is something that applies to all humans until they are born again. One thing church apostasy is not just an American phenomenon, it is spreading globe-wide along with the one world church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"How many of us would really leave our families, our jobs, our education, our connections, our familiar surroundings and our homes if Jesus asked us too?"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find myself thinking Yes, God may ask many things of people but where is he going with this? More of the demands to go service the third world while America collapses? The Bible also states those who do not support their families [if they have children and a wife] are worse then an infidel. What if someone is needed at home to take care of a mother with Alzheimer's or a disabled spouse?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He goes on to write: [p.97]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"But we need to realize that how we spend our time, &lt;b&gt;what our money goes toward &lt;/b&gt;and where we will invest our energy is equivalent to choosing God or rejecting Him."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The book is a song and dance show of this, where he advances the gospel of grace but then tells his reader what a "bad" Christian they are, and how "lukewarm" they are. &amp;nbsp;He almost seems obsessed with &lt;b&gt;money&lt;/b&gt; too, there are other ways to serve the Lord, besides writing a check and mailing it off somewhere. What about praying for others, or serving them, or BEING with them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lukewarmness has nothing to do with what the Bible warns about but usually is pertaining to be a failed ambassador for the millennium&amp;nbsp; goals of the United Nations in the third world.&amp;nbsp; Like Platt, this guy decries people for being &lt;i&gt;"comfortable"&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Hate to tell you, but why these types glamorize poverty it is not fun and games, people sicken and die from lack of medical care even in America, lack of "comfort" destroys many lives, including people's emotional and physical well-beings. &lt;strong&gt;Lowering one people will not raise another. Something I wish these proto-world socialists would get.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why all the focus on leaving home otherwise? I found it actually kind of depressing as he fills page after page with the basica message of &lt;i&gt;"you are not doing enough".&lt;/i&gt; Fear and guilt permeate through the pages but then he does odd turn arounds to assure all is not lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found the writing kind of duplicitous, back and forth like a see-saw, it took me a couple weeks to even write this blog entry on and off. I felt called to warn about this book but it was a very difficult read. It is not a heavy tome, and the writing is simple but the back and forth quality stood out.&amp;nbsp; It was like the faux Christian literary equivalent of nails going across a chalkboard that set your teeth on edge. I'll continue with more examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On page 101:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"My fears in writing the previous chapter is that it only evokes in you fear and guilt. &lt;b&gt;Personal experiences has taught me that actions driven by fear and guilt are not an antidote to lukewarm, selfish, comfortable living."&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;On page 116&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Christians today like to play it safe. We want to put ourselves in situations where we are safe "even if there is no God." But if we truly desire to please God, we cannot live that way. We have to do things that cost us during our life on earth but will be more then worth it in eternity"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He goes on to tell us about how God wants us to help the poor and to love your neighbor as yourself and these things are TRUE, but the manipulation is so intense. &lt;strong&gt;This line offended me bringing Jesus up as starving. This borders on blasphemous as Jesus Christ fed a crowd of 5 thousand with an individual's simple lunch:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;"Ask yourself this: If you actually saw Jesus starving, what would you do for Him?&lt;/span&gt; [p119]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"The gap is so extreme in our world that we have to lightly passages such as Luke 12:33: "Sell your possessions and give to the poor." How else can I walk out of a mud shack and back into my two-thousand square foot house without doing anything? The concept of downsizing so that others might upgrade is biblical, beautiful...and nearly unheard of. We either close the gap or don't take the words of the Bible literally."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;You see what I am talking about via the &lt;b&gt;manipulation&lt;/b&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He goes on to write about this guy:&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"After hearing this truth preached, a guy at my church donated his house to the church and moved in with his parents. He told me he will have a better house in heaven and that it doesn't really matter where he lives during this lifetime. He is living like he believes."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;This one kind of made me laugh, I guess the man living in his parent's basement for free, can show any reluctant parents, this book too. If that man has a family he is not providing for them in the proper way. Also a grown man unless he is ill himself, living with parents should be taking care of them or equally contributing to the household.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chan then on page 122 promotes a group called&lt;a href="http://www.aspiringtothemedian.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;"Aspiring to the Median"&lt;/a&gt; where people commit to living below the median income [he quotes it as $46,000 in America] and give the rest away. Sorry for my reaction to this, in that many people I personally know make &lt;b&gt;way UNDER $46,000 &lt;/b&gt;a year and would consider themselves well-off at that amount especially in this economy. As I write this blog entry, notice the focus on money and WHAT is done with it. One thing ironic about the Aspiring To the Median website, is it &lt;a href="http://www.aspiringtothemedian.com/resources.html"&gt;quotes&lt;/a&gt; Mother Teresa and Augustine in helping the cause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not sure how to convey how patronizing I find these messages or manipulative. Yes I do agree that Christians are to help the poor. Help people in your community, give food away, don't just write a check to some charity who will give it to the mega-bucks administrator, but help those God leads you to! God will tell you when you are to help someone and there will be times you will have to sacrifice or let go of things but this guy is manipulating people for another cause. &amp;nbsp; Remember I am not saying it is wrong for Christians to help the poor, God may lead you all sorts of ways maybe even to another part of the world, but preachers like Platt and Chan, well they are doing what I wrote about on this blog entry:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/06/liberation-theology-exploiting-poor-for.html"&gt;Liberation Theology: Exploiting the Poor For Power and The Globalist UN Driven "Church" &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book, is full of a lot of condemnation for those who do not "do" enough. Reading this book will make anyone who doesn't have tens of thousands of dollars to pass out to their choice of a third world nation, guilty and like they are failed "Christian". Chan's advancing a works based gospel while assuring the reader he supports the gospel of grace, really falls flat. &amp;nbsp;Chan goes on to put down people he labels as those "not obsessed with Jesus" but "obsessed" in general. Chan seems to advance the Catholic thing here too, where one is to live in a dirt hut and pass out every penny to pass the Christian "litmus" test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On p133, we see the Dominionist, UN: kingdom of this earth, forwarded:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"People who are obsessed with Jesus aren't consumed with their personal safety and comfort above all else. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Obsessed people care more about God's kingdom coming to this earth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;more then than their own lives being shielded from pain and distress."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Did you read that part &lt;b&gt;"Care more about God's kingdom &lt;u&gt;coming&lt;/u&gt; to this earth"?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember it's the Dominionists and others believing human beings are supposed to do that, building their own Tower of Babel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On p. 135 He writes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"People who are obsessed with Jesus live lives that connect them with the poor in some way or another. Obsessed people believe that Jesus talked about money and the poor so often because it was really important to Him [1 John 2;4-6; Matt 16:24-26]"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Actually I am going to go out on a limb here, I believe the poor were important to Jesus, but MONEY? Nope. Money was a tool to be used not abused, not the be all and end all. God's Word warns about money and the love of it and the abuses. We are told in God's Word not to even worry about the clothes we will wear or food we will eat.&amp;nbsp; I had my times where I've had to trust in God, where nothing seemed to be forthcoming but if you are a believer God will provide your needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now thinking about Platt and Chan's messages here, ponder this verse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mat 17:24 ¶ And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute [money] came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mat 17:25   He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mat 17:26   Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mat 17:27   Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who are these preachers serving? Why do they want strangers to give all their money away to other strangers? Do they want money used to help bring people to the Lord, for true missions or are they helping with the UN money-clean out, tugging on heart strings in a spirit of manipulation? I understand the verse above Jesus has the disciples pay the tax to avoid offense, but it is interesting the line about kings desiring wealth and tribute from strangers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is the "giving" impersonal now, always to "those" tens of thousands of miles away instead of right in the community or among people that others know? Think about that now. Understand what I am saying here. Where does all the money REALLY go? Have any of you wondered why all these guys have to travel 10s of thousands of miles to find someone to help? I can walk out my door, and find a few right there. Ever wonder about that? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it's better if you got something to give to be personally INVOLVED with the people you are helping, then you can witness to them as well. You do it because you care and love them for real not for any other "agendas", or to advance certain political ideals or wannabe Tower of Babel United Nations Utopias. It is pride that gets human beings thinking that they are going to solve every one of the world's problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if the Lord sends you overseas and there will be people He does send, those who are following God will not be&amp;nbsp; patronizing the poor folks. They will realize often corruption rules in these parts of the world. This corruption impacts everything including the infrastructure, how funds are handed out and resources that are available. Unless you are going to help someone DIRECTLY, a war lord or village chieftain is probably going to get the cash, or the bag of rice. Does that sound cynical? I have talked with a couple missionaries, and well things are very rough out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know I think thinking about the poor and being led to help them is important too. The whole thing is weird where these jet setting preachers who have thousands of dollars to travel to Africa [he mentions his trips too] and then lament over poverty as they go and advance themselves worldwide and the global money transfer and turn around and tell their congregants to sell their house to donate more money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page after page follows demanding more action and DOING:, &lt;i&gt;"people who are obsessed with Jesus do not not consider service a burden.."&lt;/i&gt; and giving MONEY away to the poor,&lt;i&gt; "many of them are sick and dying in households we would not consider good enough for our household pets"&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;"He is asking you to love as you would want to be loved if it were your child was blind from contaminated water, or love the way you would want to be loved if you were the homeless women sitting outside the cafe', to love as though it were your family living in the shack slapped together from cardboard and scrap metal."&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;"how much of your money is spent on yourself and how much is directed towards God's kingdom?"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;There are truths mixed in this book, which makes the message so tricky, think of eternity, love God and neighbor, be concerned more with character more then comfort, be faithful to God, and this is one reason, the implicit social justice gospel stuff and other deceptions are easier to pass off as legitimate!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Chapter 9, Chan then provides examples of who actually lives the way, he is promoting in this book. Many of these folks are well-meaning people, they help poor people all through out the world. One guy he mentions is Nathan Barlow who helped people who got the disease of mossy foot, in Ethiopia, his group &lt;a href="http://www.mossyfoot.com/#/history/"&gt;Mossy Foot Project&lt;/a&gt; is a United Nations NGO, by the way. This is a bad disease, and I am glad people are getting help, but what is Chan's message, that to be decent Christians, we all have to form a NGO?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He lists other people along this same line, who left to third world nations and formed Christian charities and NGOs to help with various causes, with the exception of one who helped Navajos in the US, a family that gives away money and food during the holidays, and a homeless man who helps buy food for other homeless people in his Southern California neighborhood. Another opens her door to prostitutes. One lady adopts an African baby who was born to a HIV mother, but thankfully ended up HIV negative and one travels to Uganda to do women conferences. One translates a Bible into a foreign tongue, another example is a 19th century figure who opened orphanages in England.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now many of these things are fine and good in themselves. Surely even Christians reading my blog here, have helped and shared things with others.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt; But what we need to pay attention to do is analyze what is Chan's message and then ask what does it have to do with the gospel?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chan asks &lt;i&gt;"Should you put your house on the market today and downsize? Should you quit your job?&lt;/i&gt;" [That is an odd question considering many without a needed job] &lt;i&gt;"Maybe. Or perhaps God wants you to work harder at your job and be His witness there. Does He want you to move to another city or another country? Perhaps He wants you to stay put and open your eyes to the needs of your neighbors..."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"The point is there is another path, an alternative to the individualism, selfishness and materialism of the American Dream [even the so called Christian version.]"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the last points he makes is..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;"What will people say about your life in heaven? Will people speak of God's work and glory through you? And even more important how will you answer the King when He says, "What did you do with what I gave you?"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I saw this book as more of the same, this one being more subtle presentation of what David Platt wanted to advance. Lot's of &lt;b&gt;works based demands&lt;/b&gt;, manipulation for the global agenda, using the compassion of well meaning Christians to divert them.  This including even a rather sickening story, of a missionary who allowed all his teeth to be pulled so he would not be taken from the mission field. To me this smacked of the &lt;i&gt;'save your self by suffering'&lt;/i&gt; Catholic ethos. That was actually self abuse in my book and set the man up for worse health in helping the mission. &lt;b&gt;This book was disturbing to me, in the way it used gospel truths, and the things of God, to divert people into a morass of GUILT and false paths. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;It was no different then the message of Catholicism, work, work, work to prove yourself a worthy "Christian" while selling the same nauseating globalism and patronizing and naive attitude towards the poor or what it means to be poor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trying to complement Rick Warren's P.E.A.C.E plan and Bono's End Poverty Now Campaigns using guilt, and fear on Christians not "doing" enough for God, to me is pretty low. The obsession with money and what is done with it, also spoke for itself. I worry for the Christians, average people who may read this book and just be ordinary people themselves, who may just have enough to feed their own children and go to work and pay the rent and no extra disposable income for third world poverty safaris who will read this book and feel condemned for "not doing enough" and being called "lukewarm" [a term Chan uses over and over]. The constant cheerleading of "go be radical" are empty words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The focus needs to be on BELIEVING not DOING, and what Jesus Christ did for us. Anything else is filthy rags.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Isa 64:6 But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your preacher is guilting you to go on a 'save the world' campaign, stop and step back and pray....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like David Platt's, Francis Chan's church, Cornerstone has the &lt;a href="http://cornerstonesimi.com/"&gt;"global"&lt;/a&gt; focus with the usual global "Christianity" partnerships many connected to Lausanne and other groups. [examples YWAM, &lt;a href="http://www.uscwm.org/index.php/resources/detail_page/the_lausanne_covenant/"&gt;The US Center for World Mission&lt;/a&gt;] The church website includes a link to a global petition that encompasses many of the organizations and global endeavors. Wake up and realize how so many are being manipulated.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-1686457316191681374?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/1686457316191681374/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/francis-chans-crazy-love-same-messages.html#comment-form' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/1686457316191681374'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/1686457316191681374'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/francis-chans-crazy-love-same-messages.html' title='Francis Chan&apos;s Crazy Love: The Same Messages As David Platt'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kpazrPZcD6U/TtPI2Bs6V9I/AAAAAAAABcU/evCZbszj540/s72-c/crazy%2Blove.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-2459720349358337146</id><published>2011-12-11T10:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-11T10:48:11.863-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='A Variety of Links and News'/><title type='text'>A Variety of Links #3</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AAOHC6KZJIc/TuT6KjYJrSI/AAAAAAAABhQ/cQTBY7hX52o/s1600/news.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="288" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AAOHC6KZJIc/TuT6KjYJrSI/AAAAAAAABhQ/cQTBY7hX52o/s400/news.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Another Voice blog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://anothervoicerev184.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-7-11-canada-usa-nwo-beyond-border.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"12-7-11 Canada-USA NWO "Beyond The Border" Deal Done, Will Merge Regulatory, Security, Police"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;"* There will be enhanced tracking of travellers in both countries, and both nations will try to identify threatening people who seek to ``enter the perimeter'' of both countries so they can be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* An entry-exit system will be established in which both countries share information on when their citizens have crossed the border."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More developments in the global government.

Notice how the onus is always put on the people leaving rather then the false pastors and hirelings that are forcing so many to leave in obedience to God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They never quit adulterating the Bible. I still remember seeing a NKJV 2001, they had twisted the verses even more. &lt;a href="http://thegospelcoalition.org/themelios/article/an_evaluation_of_the_2011_edition_of_the_new_international_version"&gt;Read this website&lt;/a&gt; and notice how everything is changed. I'm sticking with the KJV. No that does not mean I am KJV only, like Ruckman etc, but one can see the subtle delusions being forwarded by Bible versions and their new versions. NIV is the worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/we-are-the-remnant/2011/12/03/dealing-with-devils--a-deeper-look-into-calvary-chapel"&gt;Alex Greiner Confronts Chuck Smith on the Phone.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"I will be joined by a very special guest Alex Grenier of the website Calvary Chapel Abuse. We will sit down and discuss the CC movement and the patterns of abuse that are growing at an alarming matter. We will discuss his meeting with Chuck Smith and Calvary Chapel laywer Janet Carter. Just a warning, this will not be for the weak of stomach or those who freely drink down the Calvary Chapel Kool-Aid! Please plan to join us as we deal with Devils!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This just in! We were able to get Chuck Smith on the phone and he was open and honest about his feelings toward Alex and the problems concerning the "movement". I was shocked at his willingness to talk .This is a must listen you will get a truley unique look behind the Calvary Chapel curtain"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a shorter video outlining what was said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/y4yE6p1WgNM" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe Alex is wasting his time, not in speaking out but in his approaches to Chuck Smith, and needs to depart from the wicked but this call is quite interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.barberville.net/sermon264.htm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Strength Out of Weakness"&lt;/a&gt;-an interesting sermon outline, I was reading 2 Cor. 12:10 &lt;i&gt;“Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” &lt;/i&gt;the other day.

It is interesting to me that Johanna Michelson is one of the main narrators for the second one. More on her later. These two videos warn about the Emergent movement and are trailers for a new release called "Wide is the Gate":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mWvTUX9okuM" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bDBoBhIqfwQ" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree with the information against the Emergent church and the false charismatics. I have posted against the Emergent church myself on this blog&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/search/label/Emergent%20Movement"&gt; several times.&lt;/a&gt; However, I do not get excited anymore when I see videos or bible conferences warning about the Emergent movement. Even if the films hold some truths, and the Emergent movement is very evil, remember what I have told you that such warnings about the Emergent movement were numerous in Calvary Chapel while behind the scenes they hob-nobbed with the likes of Knights of Malta member Boykin and advanced other errors. It is one of those "safe" areas to warn about. &lt;b&gt;They can warn about those introducing eastern religions to the church and the erosion of absolute truth while bringing in new errors to confuse people with or to cover up even worse deceptions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have run across the name &lt;b&gt;Caryl Matrisciana&lt;/b&gt; many times, in my research, that is a name that pops up constantly in all sorts of places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why warn of the Catholic church bringing in the Emergent movement if you or your family members have been involved with Council of National Policy? Now family members could be involved in something, a saved family member does not agree with but &lt;a href="http://watch.pair.com/cult-emnr-rockford.html"&gt;this is a different story&lt;/a&gt;. I am serious about that question. The &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cephasministry.com/church_and_state_knights_of_,malta.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Council for National Policy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt; has many Catholic &amp;nbsp;members in it, one name [now deceased] is &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.seekgod.ca/cnp.w.htm#pweyrich"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paul Weyrich&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;, [see &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Weyrich_Paul"&gt;&lt;b&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt; too] he isn't the only&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/god-and-country/2008/12/18/how-paul-weyrich-founded-the-christian-right"&gt;&lt;b&gt; Catholic member&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Mormons have been members as well.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the CNP, follow the Knights of Malta links, that is where it gets interesting.&lt;br /&gt;Many of the names here are like a who's who list for the CNP. &lt;b&gt;So why for goodness sakes WOULD ANY CHRISTIAN who knows about CNP, and&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://aftermathnews.wordpress.com/2007/10/01/blackwater-knights-of-malta-in-iraq/"&gt;&lt;b&gt; KNIGHTS of MALTA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;, trust any pastor, teacher, etc. linked to either? If I find out any teacher is a member [barring those who have fully repented and warns about the group and I haven't seen that yet], that is enough to walk away.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caryl's&amp;nbsp; husband Pat Matrisciana is definitely said to be a member of &lt;a href="http://watch.pair.com/database1.html"&gt;the Council of National Policy. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"&gt;"Pat Matrisciana - CNP Membership Roster (1999).

This one may hold truths too about homosexuality as well,&amp;nbsp; actually the Nazis were anti-homosexual but had plenty of closeted homosexuals in their ranks, but they really did send homosexuals to the camps. &lt;b&gt;But notice who is quoted there?&lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=121170&amp;amp;page=1#.TuTJntQ13O0"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt; Steve Baldwin executive director, Council for National Policy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fJes5Gahsqg/TuS34frZLZI/AAAAAAAABg4/wgCSNQDrEv0/s1600/Jerfilms.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fJes5Gahsqg/TuS34frZLZI/AAAAAAAABg4/wgCSNQDrEv0/s400/Jerfilms.PNG" width="396" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah Films also is connected to &lt;a href="http://www.jeremiahfilms.com/products/Tim-LaHaye"&gt;Tim Lahaye&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.jeremiahfilms.com/products/Chuck-Missler"&gt;Chuck Missler&lt;/a&gt;, and other teachers I have warned about on this blog. They also are used for quotes regarding the videos and DVDs to promote them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have warned about &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/search?q=CNP&amp;amp;updated-max=2011-10-19T07:43:00-07:00&amp;amp;max-results=20"&gt;the CNP&lt;/a&gt; before on this blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what I am talking about where you will be warned of one thing while behind the curtain, worse deceptions are forwarded. Here Stan Monteith, &lt;a href="http://www.seekgod.ca/cnp.mo.htm"&gt;another purported member of the CNP&lt;/a&gt;, introduces Caryl Martisciana to talk about spiritual warfare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0PmhNN1G1SY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;here is a shorter video outlining one of her talks:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/L9y68Sc8wYI" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If she can discern these things, about the New Age and false religions, why not about the CNP, Dominionism and what is connected to that group? It is interesting how she points out about people being indoctrinated. She does speak truth about Harry Potter and other matters, but what about the full picture? &lt;b&gt;That is why I remind my readers here, the false teachers can warn about some truths but introduce other deceptions. Having anything to do with Dominionism, the Council for National Policy, and it's related organization is of total wickedness.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is another interesting tidbit, &lt;a href="http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/newsletters/2010/newsletter20100112.htm"&gt;Caryl Martisciana&lt;/a&gt;, is considered an author for LighthouseTrails? Now that I think about it, she did have &lt;a href="http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/search/search.php?zoom_sort=0&amp;amp;zoom_query=Matrisciana&amp;amp;zoom_per_page=10&amp;amp;zoom_and=0"&gt;a lot of articles&lt;/a&gt; over there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S8WB8h0XBmA/TuTHQXcJWLI/AAAAAAAABhE/9TvTV9hMp50/s1600/Lighthousetrails.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="160" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S8WB8h0XBmA/TuTHQXcJWLI/AAAAAAAABhE/9TvTV9hMp50/s400/Lighthousetrails.PNG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And do you remember who did a Bible conference with her &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/search?q=Roger+Oakland"&gt;last May&lt;/a&gt;? The networks go deep don't they? I have been thinking and praying about this. You think about someone who has spent literally years, going to "warn" Christians, and then find out the connections they have and the teachers they support, it is pretty scary. People can make mistakes, and/or take time to be shown something by the Lord, but something is very different about these networks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-8185549963967584791?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/8185549963967584791/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/caryl-matrisciana-wide-is-gate-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8185549963967584791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/8185549963967584791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/caryl-matrisciana-wide-is-gate-and.html' title='Caryl Matrisciana, Wide is The Gate and The Council For National Policy'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/mWvTUX9okuM/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-5624191816510410524</id><published>2011-12-06T10:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-06T10:42:00.351-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dominionism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Luciferian Networks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New World Order'/><title type='text'>Michael Pearl on Anderson Cooper</title><content type='html'>Now Anderson Cooper is a mainstream news show, I do not endorse it either, just showing these videos for my readers to see, about Pearl and his teachings. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LlL0cgIj8ds" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One disturbing quote from Michael Pearl on this next video...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;'The techniques for training a human and an animal are the same"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If that doesn't scare you about that guy, even thinking of the deeper elements of mind control and psychological warfare being used on people, I don't know what else would.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VByJFJKSn7o" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way what is with the weird peaked eyebrows?

I found myself thinking why not just hire servants instead who are grown if you want someone under your total beck and call instead of trying to raise little robots to obey your every wish and command. Total obedience and control is the theme all over that website and even in &lt;a href="http://www.nogreaterjoy.org/articles/general-view/archive/2011/october/15/organize-and-manage-1/"&gt;one of the latest articles.&lt;/a&gt; When you read this article, why is the choice between disinterested permissiveness, and spanking the child and punishing them simply for being unaware of danger in other words for being a child? There is a third choice, of being a sane parent, and getting the child to safety. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On this blog I have discussed the &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/10/oppression-of-youth-and-dominionism_08.html"&gt;Dominionist totalitarianism for youth &lt;/a&gt;already, the hirelings know EXACTLY what they are doing and where they are leading people.

This proves all the ecumenical ties and rest, in Calvary Chapel. What is sad is that Calvary Chapel is full of ex-Catholics who think they have entered an evangelical church that renounces Roman Catholicism, how wrong they are!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/m5Tt32f-Ngk" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kwve.com/podcasts/Pastor%27s%20Perspective%2011_10_11.m4a"&gt;http://www.kwve.com/podcasts/Pastor%27s%20Perspective%2011_10_11.m4a&lt;/a&gt;   (Start at 48:10 mark; also see the transcript below.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Transcript:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don Stewart: Alright back we go to the phones to Orange, California with Ben on the line. Ben welcome to Pastors Perspective, Hi!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben: Hi how are you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don Stewart: Fine thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben: I uh, I am a loyal listener, I um love going to uh your men’s conferences [Don Stewart: “Good!”] and I fellowship with a bunch of people at Calvary Chapel’s, um I visit Greg Laurie’s Harvest, and I have a question because I sometimes I have a hard time understanding um how I um, communicate with people um of the Protestant faith because I am Catholic, and sometimes we um have communication issues and, they want to get into apologetics and um, you know I love the worship and the fellowship with those – with the different people but um I’m going to hang onto my faith as well, and I am just curious what you think about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don Stewart: OK, good question there Ben in fact were glad your going to these events we’re glad you listen to this program. OK Chuck what about that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Chuck Smith: Ben&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; I have a cousin who was a mother superior in the Catholic Church, and uh, she was just a wonderful Christian, loved her and we had great conversations together, and I didn’t try to convert her from Catholicism nor did she try to convert me uh into becoming a Catholic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, its just we both recognize that uh &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;you know we have, we had the same Lord, and the same uh faith ya know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;and so uh we just uh you know on those things we agreed upon we just agreed upon and we didn’t really bring up the things where there were disagreements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not included in the video:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don Stewart [Minute 49:42]: Ya um again the question is Ben if you love the Lord Jesus, if you’re trusting Him and Him alone for your salvation that’s the key, what are you trusting in, what’s going to get you to heaven is it Jesus and something else or Jesus and Jesus alone and that’s the question that needs to be answered, and of course the Bible said its Jesus alone by grace through faith we’re saved, it’s not of ourselves, not of works lest anyone should boast, cause Chuck it wouldn’t be heaven would it if people were walking around bragging what they’ve done…and uh no peacocks strutin’ around, na na it’d be real miserable we’re not going to see that in heaven. Alright let’s go now to Aurora, Colorado and talk to Jay on Pastors Perspective, Jay welcome to  welcome to the program [Minute 50:20].&lt;/blockquote&gt;and on a different call that news4themasses has linked to Chuck Smith Sr, comes up with this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;(Beverly) Caller- Yes I have a question is it right for a Catholic woman to marry a Christian man even if she’s pregnant with his child?&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;Chuck Smith Sr.- Well, I don’t ah see that, ah, well ah there’s going to be difficulty, uh ya know, but if you can resolve the differences, I don’t think they’re that great, and I think that you probably, ah if you’re pregnant with his child you should marry him, and of course ah I think that uh, it’s um it’s alright you can resolve the differences. and I think that uh I , ah, I know of many of that ya know.. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;You know Catholics are basically Christians too&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and uh so uh I think that uh, you know what the differences are less than much less than what a lot of people face and are overcoming in their mariages.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please read the rest of what news4themasses has to share on her blog about this, more audio links, and more details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe given what has been exposed about Calvary Chapel, they are not even going to pretend anymore, they will now be out and blatant about their ecumenical ties to Rome and their view of the Catholic church as another "Christian church". Basically my theory about Calvary Chapel being &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/11/calvary-chapel-set-up-from-start.html"&gt;a set-up from the start&lt;/a&gt; rings true. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are in Calvary Chapel and reading this, try telling your pastor that the Catholic church is the harlot warned of in Revelation, and see what reaction you will get. I promise you it will be very interesting. I still remember the offended look to this day. Read the blog entries warning about the one world religion and know you must "come out of her". That includes all false churches. And NO, Catholics are not Christians too. A few in there may be searching for truth, or just about to leave but that's it. I left the Catholic church within days after I was born again. The Holy Spirit will expose what the RCC really is to any born again believer, it teaches a false gospel and presents 'another christ"-The Eucharist-idol. One thing too, where are all these &lt;a href="http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/?p=7869"&gt;dissenting Calvary Chapel preachers that Lighthouse Trails keeps mentioning?&lt;/a&gt; Those have got to be some of the most quiet guys out there in the world, because I sure haven't heard a peep from any of them.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-9056882414220238005?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/9056882414220238005/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/more-from-news4themasses-chuck-smith.html#comment-form' title='22 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/9056882414220238005'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/9056882414220238005'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/more-from-news4themasses-chuck-smith.html' title='More From News4themasses: Chuck Smith Sr. Says Catholics Are Christians Too!'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/m5Tt32f-Ngk/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>22</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-2158865790259798207</id><published>2011-12-04T10:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-04T10:11:35.647-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Calvary Chapel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New World Order'/><title type='text'>From News4themasses: "Converging Church"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rsYg9Lt1NW0/Ttu3NYcZYOI/AAAAAAAABe4/31uCWDjvObU/s1600/you_are_constantly_being_lied_to_tshirt-p235538909868124807z8nr2_400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rsYg9Lt1NW0/Ttu3NYcZYOI/AAAAAAAABe4/31uCWDjvObU/s320/you_are_constantly_being_lied_to_tshirt-p235538909868124807z8nr2_400.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From News4themasses:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Make sure to check out the entire blog entry:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news4themasses.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/converging-church/"&gt;"Converging Church"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Converging Church.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;What is the “Converging Church?” The Emerging church although dangerous is an effect of a particular causality that goes unreported by those great Discernment groups that the Evangelical “Non-Denomination” church bodies have come to rely upon for revelation. The Converging Church is the culmination of the false church and it’s pseudo-discernment groups that started the most dangerous movement of all. The groups that warn about the Emerging Church fail blatantly and I suppose purposely to tell you that those in the Emerging Church came from the non-denomination seeker-driven first church, Calvary Chapel. The wolves that the long standing Discernment groups have been warning you of wouldn’t have their place in the apostasy if it weren’t for the original doves of the counter culture neo-evangelical movement known as Calvary Chapel.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;These groups will tell you about Bill Hybels and Doug Pagitt and Tony Campolo, yet they will not tell you that these guys got their “opportunity” via an original Emerging church known to many as Calvary Chapel. Chuck Smith and his band of men in the “early days” of the “Jesus People Movement” laid the foundation of which the Emergent and Seeker church has blossomed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I notice some time ago, how Calvary Chapel would warn about *safe* things like Rick Warren and the Emergent church leaving more important things out in it's variety of bible conference and related pseudo-discernment ministries. Debating with two people I ended up separating from as we disagreed whole-heartedly about Calvary Chapel saying &lt;i&gt;"Look they are warning about some things but they are hiding many others"&lt;/i&gt;, they refused to listen. These preachers could do not wrong to those folks, and they would not check them out.&amp;nbsp; That is often how deception works, warn about some "safe" things and then introduce lies and cover ups regarding others. This is why I heard Jacob Prasch [not officially Calvary Chapel himself but a popular teacher in those circles] at one of those Red River Bible Conferences online, warn about Rick Warren, but then praise Billy Graham all in the same lecture. What's the use of that? The P.E.A.C.E crowd is going the same place the Lausanne one is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is interesting always to me how they decried the Emergent church as another road to Rome, but Calvary Chapel was always on the road to Rome with the help of &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2010/04/one-shocking-thing-i-found-out-as-i.html"&gt;Billy Graham&lt;/a&gt; and his minions. Later on of course, the stuff about Calvary Chapel's involvement with the Knights of Malta Boykin and others would be exposed. This hides the error of Calvary Chapel and it's origins itself, news4themasses has that exactly correct.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;News4themasses then displays this video:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fxJWGRCuiDM?feature=player_embedded" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yes that is one of those moments where Calvary Chapel does more of that FALSE WARNING, to keep many people confused as if they are against the new world order, and the new global order? Wow....That is how deep and insidious the deception goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember what I wrote some time ago about &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/05/there-is-deception-at-every-layer.html"&gt;there being layers of deception&lt;/a&gt;? Well it's not just the OVERT NEW AGERS doing this to you, but many of the false hirelings in the pulpit. Why do they do it? Because they know it works. They can mix truth and lies into one giant stinking bubbling stew and know many will drink it unquestioningly, because they hear some nicely appointed guy in a casual Hawaiian shirt, who knows a bit of Bible and buy everything he is selling because he says he is a born again Christian like them. These are not ordinary people who are trying to just share their sincere insights or ideas but those connected into a spiderweb that has many agendas laid out, that have been exposed in a variety of places. Like the Calvary Chapel bunch really care about the "global police state" or people losing their privacy? Any of you hear of any of them lately speaking out against TSA or the recent new possible law wanting to turn America into a "battlefield" while they hobnob with high level Christian Zionists?

Notice their friend Koenig,&amp;nbsp; just happened to be invited to a CFR meeting like anyone can just show up...Oh really?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;David Hocking (Restored by Chuck Smith following an affair and ever since loyal to the Calvary Chapel Deception) begins to state that Bill Koenig (“journalist” for the White House and “Discerner” who gets into CFR meetings, Neocon, false prophet) gained entry to a CFR meeting where Bill Clinton is discussing global events and so happens to bring up Rick Warren (Emergent/Seeker Sensitive Heretic Globalist Extraordinare). Apparantly “Rick” according to Bill via Hocking, is Dangerous! Oh me oh my! Rick is an “Interfaith” demon let loose on the UN and Davos as if we didn’t already know. This video was posted in April 2009. Notice the three men in the video: David Hocking (Hope For Today, Compass Speaker) Jack Hibbs (Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, Watchman on the Wall, AFA) and John Higgins (Calvary Chapel Tri-City, Shiloh Commune Centers (past and present), In The Days, Godly Conferences, Compass Speaker). Not one of these ‘godly men’ who have the ability to warn many made any objection to Rick Warren appearing only months later at Harvest 2009 with Greg Laurie. The discernment crowd that had held Rick Warren’s feet to the fire for his Ecumenical ties, made no mention of Chuck’s embrace of ‘his brother-in-Christ’ on that bright sunny day in Anaheim. The multitudes remained quiet. Why?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never saw any of them peep a word either when just months later, Greg Laurie and Chuck Smith were with Rick Warren as News4themasses mentions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ot-topVvZPM/Ttu01J2KjtI/AAAAAAAABew/pWUBRU11Nvk/s1600/rick-and-chuck-smith-harvest-2009-from-ricks-flickr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="256" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ot-topVvZPM/Ttu01J2KjtI/AAAAAAAABew/pWUBRU11Nvk/s320/rick-and-chuck-smith-harvest-2009-from-ricks-flickr.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Odd they tell us in the video to be "very discerning", well some of us have taken that advice and their actions and words ARE NOT ADDING UP.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When there are so many things that do not add up like that, you know you are being duped.

During the last financial crisis, the Federal Reserve secretly conducted the biggest bailout in the history of the world, and the Fed fought in court for several years to keep it a secret.  Do you remember the TARP bailout?  The American people were absolutely outraged that the federal government spent 700 billion dollars bailing out the "too big to fail" banks.  Well, that bailout was pocket change compared to what the Federal Reserve did.  As you will see documented below, the Federal Reserve actually handed more than 16 trillion dollars in nearly interest-free money to the "too big to fail" banks between 2007 and 2010."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See Also&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/finance-examiner-in-national/conspiracy-theory-confirmed-bankers-do-want-to-rule-the-world"&gt;"Conspiracy theory confirmed: bankers do want to rule the world"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;"One of the longest running conspiracy theories in the global mindset is that the banking cartels would like nothing more than to control the economic and social domains of nations through a centralized authority, which would then be run by a select few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On November 24th, this theory may have finally come out of the darkness and into the light as an executive member of the European Central Bank (ECB) called for nations in the Euro Zone to be willing to give up economic sovereignty to the EMU over fiscal, structural, and economic polices."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-3004875644154182976?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/3004875644154182976/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/16-trillion-dollars-to-bankers.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/3004875644154182976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/3004875644154182976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/16-trillion-dollars-to-bankers.html' title='16 Trillion Dollars to The Bankers?'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-5099000353960774020</id><published>2011-12-04T08:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-04T08:20:01.837-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The False Holiday of Christmas'/><title type='text'>Even The PAGANS know CHRISTMAS IS PAGAN</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Saw this on the internet, sorry for the line about Christians being "silly", but hey they are right.

With the rest of the holidays, Christmas is basically recycled Saturnalia and the winter solistice:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Kb5YIhzCskE/TtuStbGCrAI/AAAAAAAABeg/76qRwOj5n3k/s1600/saturnalia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="205" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Kb5YIhzCskE/TtuStbGCrAI/AAAAAAAABeg/76qRwOj5n3k/s320/saturnalia.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check this video out regarding the history of Christmas, I do not agree with everything, [I do believe in the trinity] but the history is interesting especially that of the evergreen trees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jjBBOD8xnO4" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is another one, maybe turn down the music on this one...[I do not agree with everything regarding the ministry it does lead to at the end especially about the book of Enoch, but the warnings against Christmas are true]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xlBrPJRksdM" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's tough, with Christmas, I try not to battle people on that one, they need to be born again, to even understand the biblical edicts warnings about Christmas. At times I have worried even going to community events that I have sinned being surrounded by some trappings of Christmas. &amp;nbsp;I think a Christmas tree even got caught in the background of a group picture at a dinner I went to with a family member. People's homes are plastered in this stuff too.&amp;nbsp; The other day, I had some folks ask &lt;i&gt;"Why aren't there any Christmas decorations at your place?"&lt;/i&gt; There are people I have warned with brochures warning about Christmas, who threw them aside. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I am praying.&amp;nbsp; This time of year being literally surrounded by this stuff, it can be very difficult,&amp;nbsp; and most of the people when it comes to these holidays simply do not know. &amp;nbsp;Lately I am praying about&lt;i&gt; "how do I tell people"&lt;/i&gt;? This definitely is an issue, that is even tough to share among seasoned "Christians". &amp;nbsp;Want to make someone angry? Question the sacred cow of Christmas. Oh, this is not an easy one. Those who reject Christmas are few and far between. &amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;A church even in the fundamentalist baptist world that is not plastered with Christmas trees around Dec 25, even if they do not have a special service on that day is extremely rare. Why do so few churches or preachers even deal with this subject?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have warned against Christmas on my blog before:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2010/12/truth-about-christmas.html"&gt;"The Truth About Christmas"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pagans out there DO claim it for their OWN.&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-5099000353960774020?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/5099000353960774020/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/even-pagans-know-christmas-is-pagan.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5099000353960774020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5099000353960774020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/even-pagans-know-christmas-is-pagan.html' title='Even The PAGANS know CHRISTMAS IS PAGAN'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VpfTIEDHU6k/TtuPC4qgg3I/AAAAAAAABeY/HVawCu7Cv4c/s72-c/paganstuff.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-1335673603829839108</id><published>2011-12-01T07:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-01T07:51:55.075-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biblical Encouragement'/><title type='text'>The Loneliness of the Christian</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9LGmRexi_q8/TteiLnHFdSI/AAAAAAAABeI/ZCqQ6GFb_lY/s1600/nature+scene.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9LGmRexi_q8/TteiLnHFdSI/AAAAAAAABeI/ZCqQ6GFb_lY/s320/nature+scene.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got this quote from &lt;a href="http://christianresearchnetwork.com/?p=25094"&gt;Christian Research Net&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I got the following A.W. Tozer quote from a friend today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Loneliness of the Christian&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The loneliness of the Christian results from his walk with God in an ungodly world, a walk that must often take him away from the fellowship of good Christians as well as from that of the unregenerate world. His God-given instincts cry out for companionship with others of his kind, others who can understand his longings, his aspirations, his absorption in the love of Christ; and because within his circle of friends there are so few who share his inner experiences he is forced to walk alone. The unsatisfied longings of the prophets for human understanding caused them to cry out in their complaint, and even our Lord Himself suffered in the same way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The man who has passed on into the divine Presence in actual inner experience will not find many who understand him. He finds few who care to talk about that which is the supreme object of his interest, so he is often silent and preoccupied in the midst of noisy religious shoptalk. For this he earns the reputation of being dull and over-serious, so he is avoided and the gulf between him and society widens. He searches for friends upon whose garments he can detect the smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia out of the ivory palaces, and finding few or none he, like Mary of old, keeps these things in his heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It is this very loneliness that throws him back upon God. His inability to find human companionship drives him to seek in God what he can find nowhere else.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AW Tozer&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not know much about AW Tozer, but this is something many born again Christians encounter. When I write about &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/08/soul-winning-and-scattered-sheep.html"&gt;the scattered sheep&lt;/a&gt; it is something being faced by many Christians out there. There are people where they are the only Christian in the entire family, and where as I have written there is no good church in the area. I have had prayer sessions where I do pray to God about why so few know and discern the truth. I do try to meet people where they are at and give them truth when I am able.  I had my lost time and the time I knew little as a new Christian and do not want to be prideful, in saying &lt;i&gt;"look at me, I know more"&lt;/i&gt; because I remember the days, I knew NOTHING and I only know anything because of God. It can be tough to look out on the world, and see how things have gotten, the numbers of even NICE people caught up in the false church system or those who reject the gospel entirely. He is right about how you even feel separated from other confessing Christian people caught up in false teachings and the church falling away. &amp;nbsp;It does teach you dependence on God, because He is who you run to for comfort. I relate to the part where it says many DO NOT UNDERSTAND you. They don't, they see the world through a different lens not with spiritual eyes. I just wanted to post this especially for my readers who may be encountering the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Psalm 68:6&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 6God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Matt 28:20&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

The official religion of Benin is voodoo, and Ouidah is that religion's spiritual home. The juxtaposition between the Pope's pious Catholicism and Voodoo's mystical spiritualism, with - if only in the West- all its dark connotations and the myth, beloved in movies, of voodoo dolls and pins, was too much for journalists to resist.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"As [the Pope] signed the papal treatise, several dozen Voodoo practitioners sat in plastic chairs in the Temple of the Pythons located at the opposite end of the basilica's square. The high priest, who sat with his foot on a bottle of gin, a traditional Voodoo spirit offering, said they listened carefully as the pope's message was projected outside through massive speakers mounted on the basilica," wrote Rukmini Callimachi for Associated Press.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A Reuters reporter had even more fun describing the Temple of Pythons.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: lime;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"A sign painted on the wall outside the voodoo complex read 'Temple of the Pythons' and a statue of a bare-breasted woman holding several snakes stood by the entrance. Inside was a small stone house with about two dozen large and baby pythons. A voodoo priest put five or six around his neck and arms for a visiting reporter. Dressed in red, the snake priest and others dressed in white said they had nothing against the pope's visit."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Pope, remarkably, didn't seem to have too much against the voodoo priests; indeed, he said that the church could learn from them&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;i&gt;. His Pledge for Africa, compiled with the recommendations of African clergy, emphasised how the modern and &lt;/i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;the traditional should work together, and that traditional practises should be examined to discern if aspects of them could be helpful to the human condition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;But traditional practices shouldn't be permitted in the church if they clash directly with church doctrine. It's up to bishops to "separate the good seed from the weeds" in this regard.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D1UsgQRpR84/TteL0galilI/AAAAAAAABdQ/hYgtlqISxuo/s1600/Africa.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="292" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D1UsgQRpR84/TteL0galilI/AAAAAAAABdQ/hYgtlqISxuo/s400/Africa.PNG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PoPloBjNCmc/TteFAv2_e4I/AAAAAAAABc4/2cnjzk5xSCw/s1600/PopeVoodoo1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PoPloBjNCmc/TteFAv2_e4I/AAAAAAAABc4/2cnjzk5xSCw/s400/PopeVoodoo1.jpg" width="267" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another strange crucifix in the picture above including pyramid symbolism. Too bad these Africans will not hear the true gospel from the Pope. They will remain lost in a religious blur as Mystery Babylon mixes everything up.&amp;nbsp; Often times in countries where they practice Voodoo and other related religions to it, &lt;a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/pope-benedict-xvi-preaches-peace-reconciliation-and-justice-during-visit-to-benin-62423/"&gt;they will mix and blend those beliefs with those of Catholicism:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Magloire Fadjikpe, a former army chief warrant officer who lives in Ouidah, told Radio Netherlands Worldwide (RNW) that he sees no problem blending his traditional faith with his Catholic beliefs.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"We have mixed up" voodoo and Catholicism, he told RNW. "We worship the same God. The priests always tell us that we cannot do both at the same time. They forget that we had worshipped voodoo before the missionaries arrived."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;RNW also spoke with Severin Adantonon, an official with a Catholic group in Ouidah, who warns against blending Catholicism and Voodoo. He insists his countrymen need to choose Jesus and Jesus alone.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The article mentions a Catholic official that says they should not be blended, but what did the Pope himself say about Voodoo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well he promoted &lt;a href="http://www.afriquejet.com/pope-benedict-xvi-wants-inter-religious-dialogue-promoted-2011112027645.html"&gt;"interreligious dialogue"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here the Pope spoke of looking for what was good in "traditional practices" [that of course in Benin would include Voodoo] As you read this do not forget that Voodoo has it's followers seek after actual possession and incorporates many aspects of witchcraft and divination. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Catholics need to cultivate respect both for Islam and for traditional practices, the pope said in the document.&lt;b&gt; He also encourages the study of indigenous beliefs to determine what aspects are helpful to the human condition. But he told bishops they must nevertheless discern which traditional practices clash with church doctrine so they can "separate the good seed from the weeds."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"The church is open to cooperation with all the components of society, particularly with the representatives of the churches and ecclesial communities not yet in full communion with the Catholic church," the pope said as African priests and nuns held up camera phones in the pews of the packed basilica to record his message. "As well as with the representatives of the non-Christian religions, above all those of traditional religions."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;As he signed the papal treatise, several dozen Voodoo practitioners sat in plastic chairs in the Temple of the Pythons located at the opposite end of the basilica's square. The high priest, who sat with his foot on a bottle of gin, a traditional Voodoo spirit offering, said they listened carefully as the pope's message was projected outside through massive speakers mounted on the basilica.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"This is a positive message which will bring peace to Africa," said Houkpon II Houawamenod. "I am a baptized Catholic, but I can't turn my back on where I come from. When I was a child if I attended a Voodoo ceremony, I used to get flogged at school the next day," he said.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Houawamenod, who like many in Benin practice a combination of Voodoo and Catholicism, said: "We are simply taking a different road to get to the same place."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice that Houawamenod seems to be alright with the Pope's words? Actually unless he repents, they are headed to the same place but its nowhere good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years ago I remember being shocked to see Pope John Paul II, announce that the "seeds of the Word" existed in Voodoo. Actually this is a Catholic teaching outlined in Vatican 2. &lt;a href="http://www.afrikaworld.net/afrel/atr-popes.htm"&gt;Pope John Paul II visited the same African area in Cotonou as well&lt;/a&gt;, preaching the same messages of seeking after what is good in voodoo "traditions" and focusing on inter-religious dialogue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;TO VOODU REPRESENTATIVES OF BENIN &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cotonou, 4 February 1993&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The foundations of dialogue&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I am happy to have this opportunity to meet you, and I greet you most cordially. As you know, I have come to Benin first of all to visit the Catholic communities, in order to encourage them and confirm them in their faith. However, I have always considered contact with people belonging to different religious traditions an important part of my ministry. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Indeed, the Catholic Church looks favourably upon dialogue: dialogue with Christians of other Churches and Ecclesial Communities, dialogue with believers of other spiritual families, and dialogue too with those who profess no religion. She wants to establish positive and constructive relationships with individuals and with the human groups of various faiths in view of a mutual enrichment.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Second Vatican Council, which mapped out the Church's route for the end of this millennium, recognised that in the diverse religious traditions there is something true and good, the seeds of the Word. It encouraged Christ's disciples to discover "the riches which a generous God has distributed among the nations" (AG 11).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, seriously the Catholic church teaches that false pagan religions, with their witchdoctors and seeking after familiar spirits, that within those rested the 'seeds of the Word'. We know that is is beyond absurdity and is just another message of Babylon and those who follow Baal. Those trapped in the darkness of false pagan religions need led out of them to Jesus Christ, not told that these religions hold any truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.novusordowatch.org/voodoo_you_trust.htm"&gt;Some Trad Catholics &lt;/a&gt;protested this but were unable to reconcile, the truth which is Catholicism is false as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Finally, the culminating -- indeed, the defining --moment in the new approach to Voodoo came from Pope John Paul II in his February 4, 1993 ad- dress to the Voodoo representatives of Benin at Cotonou. The Pope told them that "it is legitimate to be grateful to your forebears who passed on this sense of the sacred, belief in a single God who is good, a sense of celebration, esteem for the moral life and for harmony in society". Specifically, John Paul II told them that their religion contained the "seeds of the Word" (semina Verbi) which elsewhere he has explained as a "kind of common soteriological root present in all religions".[7] To translate this theology- speak into common language, the Pope claimed that a "saving root" is present in Voodoo -- that is,that a man may be saved in Voodoo. The Pope followed this astounding allegation of the salvific nature of Voodoo by telling these animists that their Catholic "brothers and sisters" appreciate Voodoo: "Your Christian brothers and sisters, like you, appreciate what is beautiful in these traditions " He added that the Christians in Benin "are equally grateful" to their own "ancestors in the faith" and concluded by extolling Jesus Christ in two sentences. That was the New Evangelization in action, the Vatican II- inspired approach of John Paul II in bringing the Gospel to the land of Voodoo -- a cheerful dance with the devil followed by a couple of sentences about the goodness of Jesus. But when one dances with the Devil, who leads the dance? As we will see in a moment, the Church tragically did not win the prize on the Benin dance floor after John Paul II's exit. Finally, and incredibly, the Pope advocated courses in Voodoo for Catholic priests. In his Apostolic Exhortation Ecclesia in Africa, John Paul II said "The adherents of African traditional religion should therefore be treated with great respect and esteem, and all inaccurate and disrespectful language should be avoided. For this purpose, suitable courses in African traditional religion should be given in houses of formation for priests and religious." [emphasis added] &amp;nbsp;Voodoo priests saw this as their victory over a groveling Pope, who in essence apologized and endorsed their religion. In a paper by N.Adu Kwabena- Essem entitled "Pope's Apology to Africans," the Voodoo enthusiast says that "African beliefs are now given due recognition by Pope John Paul II. The question is, will the rest of the Western world do the same?" The author continues: &amp;nbsp;"African religions had their biggest boost two years ago when Pope John Paul II, on a visit to Benin, apologized for centuries of ridiculing African cultural beliefs by the Western world. Benin is the home of Voodoo The crucial question is whether the Pope's 'penance' will force others to start respecting African cultures, in particular the belief in African religions."[8] [emphasis added]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Benedict has basically followed in the footsteps of his predecessor in advancing and excusing and wishing to help advance the cause of Voodoo. No gospel for the people lost in this darkness but more lies and delusions. As you read the words of Benedict telling people to seek what is "good" in these "traditional practices", &lt;a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/voodoo"&gt;here is a reminder of what Voodoo is all about...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;voo·doo  (vd)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;n. pl. voo·doos &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;1.  A religion practiced chiefly in Caribbean countries, especially Haiti, syncretized from Roman Catholic ritual elements and the animism and magic of slaves from West Africa, in which a supreme God rules a large pantheon of local and tutelary deities, deified ancestors, and saints, who communicate with believers in dreams, trances, and ritual possessions. Also called  vodoun.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;2.  A charm, fetish, spell, or curse holding magic power for adherents of voodoo.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;3.  A practitioner, priest, or priestess of voodoo.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;4.  Deceptive or delusive nonsense.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I'll never forget this picture, I got from the Vatican website, from the Assisi section where they had Vooduns doing their rituals as part of the religious gathering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tFB58rlQN5Y/TteXqtdMf3I/AAAAAAAABeA/cSSA20ZwCFk/s1600/witchdoctors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="220" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tFB58rlQN5Y/TteXqtdMf3I/AAAAAAAABeA/cSSA20ZwCFk/s320/witchdoctors.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One unknown fact to many American Catholics is that Catholicism plays the mix and match game with endless religions like Voodoo, this includes Santeria and Columbre. This is a fact in the third world. One can see on Santeria, Voodoo, Columbre altars, the Catholic aspects mixed with the pagan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3SBOFWAbp-Q/TteU57VPFjI/AAAAAAAABdw/-D0cckQAW98/s1600/santeria.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3SBOFWAbp-Q/TteU57VPFjI/AAAAAAAABdw/-D0cckQAW98/s320/santeria.jpg" width="214" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an example of a Catholic-Voodoo hybrid altar....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g_5Nh4BtOVE/TteV39MR47I/AAAAAAAABd4/o8kO_YEgPYY/s1600/Voodooaltar.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g_5Nh4BtOVE/TteV39MR47I/AAAAAAAABd4/o8kO_YEgPYY/s320/Voodooaltar.PNG" width="310" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;If you are Catholic and happen to be reading this article, ask yourself why your Popes wish to promote what is "good" about false demonic religions or why they preach the blasphemy of the seeds of the word existing in these religions that seek after false demonic spirits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact of the matter is there are two religions in the world: false paganism, that incorporates sun worship, worship of Baal and seeking after demonic spirits and true biblical Christianity. &amp;nbsp;Pray too for those lost in Voodoo and religions like it, who are being further deceived by the Pope, that one day they will be given the truth instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Col 1:13 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-5670564711408038272?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/5670564711408038272/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/popes-and-voodoo-in-africa.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5670564711408038272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/5670564711408038272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/popes-and-voodoo-in-africa.html' title='The Popes and Voodoo in Africa'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5aPUW8cgYfk/TteMgx1iw3I/AAAAAAAABdo/Ay2c5ZCla3Y/s72-c/Popebenin2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-4767556813527217354</id><published>2011-12-01T05:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-01T05:14:42.577-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Catholic church'/><title type='text'>Mother Teresa Nun Arrested for Selling Children</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Colombo:-sister-of-Mother-Teresa-arrested-for-%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%C5%93selling%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%EF%BF%BD-children-23292.html"&gt;"Colombo: sister of Mother Teresa arrested for “selling” children"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colombo (AsiaNews) – Sister Mary Eliza, from the Missionaries of Charity, has been in prison since Fraiday night accused of selling children. Since the congregation was founded, she is the first nun of Mother Teresa to be arrested. An anonymous tipoff informed police, which then burst into the Prem Nivesa of Moratuwa, a hostel for young unwed mothers run by the Sisters of Mother Teresa and arrested the nun. The hostel is now impounded. Sister Eliza, superior of Prem Nivesa, is now in jail at the Women’s Prison of Welikada, and has not been able to see a lawyer yet. Today, a judge is set to charge her formally with illegal trafficking in children.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I posted recently on the selling of children by Catholic church nuns in Spain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/10/new-catholic-scandal-stealing-babies-in.html"&gt;"New Catholic Scandal: Stealing Babies in Spain"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-4767556813527217354?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/4767556813527217354/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/mother-teresa-nun-arrested-for-selling.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/4767556813527217354'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/4767556813527217354'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/12/mother-teresa-nun-arrested-for-selling.html' title='Mother Teresa Nun Arrested for Selling Children'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-6911230109915881436</id><published>2011-11-30T06:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-30T07:07:16.003-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New World Order'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Right And Left Deception'/><title type='text'>Dying American Freedom</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XV_QGgV3qpk/TtY_U2IxM4I/AAAAAAAABcg/mMkcqHn-Pxk/s1600/constitution_big_fire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XV_QGgV3qpk/TtY_U2IxM4I/AAAAAAAABcg/mMkcqHn-Pxk/s400/constitution_big_fire.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/secret-bill-to-be-voted-on-today-would-allow-the-military-to-sweep-up-us-citizens-at-home-or-abroad-2011-11"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;"Secret Bill To Be Voted On Today Would Allow The Military To Sweep Up US Citizens At Home Or Abroad"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Either Monday or Tuesday the Senate will vote on a bill that allows the US military to imprison civilians with no formal charges and hold them with no trial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The ACLU reports even US citizens wouldn't be immune as the legislation aims to declare national territory part of the "battlefield" in the War on Terror.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Termed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and drafted behind closed doors by Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) the NDAA would:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1) Explicitly authorize the federal government to indefinitely imprison without charge or trial American citizens and others picked up inside and outside the United States;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(2) Mandate military detention of some civilians who would otherwise be outside of military control, including civilians picked up within the United States itself; and &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(3) Transfer to the Department of Defense core prosecutorial, investigative, law enforcement, penal, and custodial authority and responsibility now held by the Department of Justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the ACLU's website:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In support of this harmful bill, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) explained that the bill will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield” and people can be imprisoned without charge or trial “American citizen or not.” Another supporter, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) a&lt;/blockquote&gt;lso declared that the bill is needed because “America is part of the battlefield.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both parties working to destroy what is left of America's freedoms. Keep in mind McCain is a Republican, Levin a Democrat. The 'war on terror' was designed to dismantle American freedoms and make the sheeple out of fear go with whatever was presented to them. I knew years ago the Patriot Act was just the first in many steps to the new police state. This country is becoming just like the totalitarian countries it used to stand against. What next the gulags and prison camps for dissenters? The Constitution [yes it is fallible like all human documents] has basically been shredded into nothingness, the 4th amendment is gone with the airport searches, I am sure this bill would wipe away more including what is written about your right to a "speedy trial". How can America be so asleep as this country descends into tyranny?  What is scary is how this bill basically outwardly makes America, the world's police force, able to detain anyone anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree with this guy's comment from a online message board:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Isn't it funny and rather strange, that the Dems and Reps can't agree on anything but taking away our liberties? Hmmmm......makes me wonder........."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as I know the House and Senate have &lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/nov/29/senate-defies-obama-veto-threat-terrorist-custody-/"&gt;APPROVED IT.&lt;/a&gt; [See &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/29/senate-votes-to-let-military-detain-americans-indefinitely_n_1119473.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; too]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also see&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-new-national-defense-authorization-act-is-ridiculously-scary-2011-11"&gt;"The New National Defense Authorization Act Is Ridiculously Scary"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Fellow entrepreneurs, Americans, anyone who still cares about this country at all -- this is a must read: By the end of this week, the US government very likely will have the power to lock up US citizens for life at Guantanamo Bay or other military prisons -- without charge and without trial. This means that, in the near future, a controversial Twitter post, attending a peaceful protest, or publishing an anti-Congress critique or anti-TSA rant on Google+ could land you "indefinite detention" for life, in the wording of the bill. No access to a lawyer, no access to trial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, you read that right. This would target American citizens, on American soil. Military personnel would be able to come into your house like something out of a Tom Clancy novel and chopper your innocent self down to Guantanamo Bay for life.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Say goodbye now to the American citizen's right to a jury trial by peers, one by one, every freedom is being erased.

The other day, I noticed one of my young male relatives reading a book, I said, &lt;i&gt;"Hey let me check that out."&lt;/i&gt; He was reading this book...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed51JvdSydA/TtJUX_iAeqI/AAAAAAAABa8/vqU6TwojlkM/s1600/dragon%2Bbook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed51JvdSydA/TtJUX_iAeqI/AAAAAAAABa8/vqU6TwojlkM/s400/dragon%2Bbook.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that every book in the series has a different dragon on it, and I flipped through it, and one of of the front leaf pages, was a focus on one of the eyes of the dragon. In one of the books in the series, &lt;i&gt;"Eragon"&lt;/i&gt;, here is a &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/69618770@N00/367535884/"&gt;online snapshot&lt;/a&gt;, the book &lt;i&gt;"Inheritance"&lt;/i&gt; as well had a picture of ONE of the dragon eyes as well. Well as you know, I have written on what the &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/02/what-symbols-can-tell-you-1-eye-of.html"&gt;ONE EYE symbolism&lt;/a&gt; represents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DI98Lt4T-YQ/TtJVLpxpR7I/AAAAAAAABbI/rAyTW3D9wfI/s1600/dragoneye2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DI98Lt4T-YQ/TtJVLpxpR7I/AAAAAAAABbI/rAyTW3D9wfI/s400/dragoneye2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to admit I was a bit disturbed. The plot is very Harry Potterish, young man rides dragons, fights with different "spellcasters" and other aspects of the fantasy genre. I know in the case of this relative, his Catholic school read all of the Harry Potter books aloud in class, and they were extremely popular.&amp;nbsp; Books do influence people, my own youthful interest in the occult was awaken by Madeleine L'Engel's &lt;i&gt;"A Wrinkle In Time"&lt;/i&gt;. I was precocious enough to get some of the deeper meanings of the book, but without any biblical training or salvation was ripe for the picking. The &lt;a href="http://www.enotes.com/wrinkle-time-salem/wrinkle-time"&gt;Christians&lt;/a&gt; protesting this book for it's occult training, some of it is actually very deep dealing with inside changes in consciousness, were correct. Even the covers are totally occult full of symbols...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the 1970s...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZvcfYdk_PEs/TtJb44r8JBI/AAAAAAAABbg/FILKWML2TZU/s1600/wringkle-thumb-275x448-29601.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZvcfYdk_PEs/TtJb44r8JBI/AAAAAAAABbg/FILKWML2TZU/s400/wringkle-thumb-275x448-29601.jpg" width="245" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tk3VBsLAb5Q/TtJcHGmVWsI/AAAAAAAABbs/Pee-Uf5FeRo/s1600/A%2BWrinkle%2BIn%2BTime.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tk3VBsLAb5Q/TtJcHGmVWsI/AAAAAAAABbs/Pee-Uf5FeRo/s400/A%2BWrinkle%2BIn%2BTime.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and today it's even worse:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p7v7X6uTv2M/TtJcfSLNnYI/AAAAAAAABb4/lDMKSu_JtOU/s1600/wg-a-wrinkle-in-time-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p7v7X6uTv2M/TtJcfSLNnYI/AAAAAAAABb4/lDMKSu_JtOU/s400/wg-a-wrinkle-in-time-3.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later in the day, I was in the book store, and decided to take a look myself at the teen and young people's books, and &lt;u&gt;realized &lt;b&gt;MOST&lt;/b&gt; concerned the occult in some way&lt;/u&gt;. It was actually shocking. The &lt;i&gt;"Twilight" &lt;/i&gt;series which promoted vampires was very popular for a long time, but that is just one book series, the focus on books, that dealt with magic, witchcraft, and possession &amp;nbsp;actually PREDOMINATED. The luciferian powers that be do want to get to young people and lest someone state, "oh it's only fantasy", this sort of stuff does influence children and young people to explore Wicca, reject Christianity and seek after mysticism and the occult as adults. &amp;nbsp;As I have admitted in &lt;a href="http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/search/label/My%20Testimony"&gt;my testimony&lt;/a&gt; here, I studied aspects of the occult, and was into Theosophy while in the UU church, often, when I flip through books like Harry Potter, it is not just the outward selling of magic and evil, but they include a LOT of more subtle messages in the books as well. Very few know this for example but the &lt;a href="http://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/john-everard-the-original-seeker/"&gt;"muggles" &lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in Harry Potter were named after the &lt;a href="http://www.exlibris.org/nonconform/engdis/muggleton.html"&gt;Muggletonians&lt;/a&gt;, a radical Protestant sect in the 1700s, interesting, that Rowling, gave that name to those who were born without "magic" abilities. The books are &lt;b&gt;full&lt;/b&gt; of these multi-layers of meaning. This happens in many of the rest of them too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a couple of examples of what they are selling young people today:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A8r0PMK1lY8/TtJc_5TaebI/AAAAAAAABcA/qWBv_3lgX50/s1600/cursed.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A8r0PMK1lY8/TtJc_5TaebI/AAAAAAAABcA/qWBv_3lgX50/s1600/cursed.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;"   &lt;a href="http://www.monsterlibrarian.com/ghostsya.htm"&gt;If anyone was likely to fall in &lt;/a&gt;with a cult of beauty-enhancing Donna Reeds it wouldn't be Alexis. &lt;b&gt;Even less so if it was led by an evil spirit, since Alexis has just started recovering from the trauma of last year, when her sister was possessed by a vengeful spirit and tried to kill the whole family. &lt;/b&gt;But as Alexis tries to help out her socially awkward sister, it is exactly what happens. &lt;b&gt;Alexis ends up oath-sworn to Aralt, who has the power to make women "pretty". How can she fight him? &lt;/b&gt;And why would she want to- when it means giving up a successful future"?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YCMVCYjRFc8/TtJdy-19ZbI/AAAAAAAABcI/fwq_XoNFROg/s1600/Possessions+2+The+Evil+Within.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YCMVCYjRFc8/TtJdy-19ZbI/AAAAAAAABcI/fwq_XoNFROg/s1600/Possessions+2+The+Evil+Within.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;"&lt;a href="http://www.monsterlibrarian.com/ghostsya.htm"&gt;Nancy Holder has created an &lt;b&gt;incredibly spooky tale full of scorned lovers, murders, attempted murders, ghosts, and of course, possessions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.  Holder writes a vividly terrifying tale that overflows with ancient superstitions and mythologies that span the globe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a brief holiday break, Lindsay has reluctantly returned to the creepy Marlwood Academy; a boarding school with a &lt;b&gt;dark past&lt;/b&gt;. It doesn’t take long for Lindsay and the rest of the residents of Marlwood Academy, &lt;b&gt;including the extremely unhappy ghosts that stalk the grounds, to fall back into the swing of things – including attempted murders and possessions.&lt;/b&gt; Out of cliques, high school crushes and loves, and general teenage angst, Holder has created strong characters that most teen readers will easily identify with, and spun a &lt;b&gt;dark twist&lt;/b&gt; on their interactions with one another."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Watch this video, I got it originally from the website "Stuff Fundies Like", where the non-believers scoffed at this man rather then questioning why almost all the fiction books for teens all had to do with dark magical arts. This is a Christian father noticing at Wal-mart the preponderance of occult books. One thing there are many markers on those books, that average people do not recognize, such as the use of the key on the cover, the black and white grids and more. I am glad he bought his daughter a KJV Bible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/F-BfQB0-rBI" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is something seriously wrong with this. Here, inform your children, do not keep them clueless as to the evil in the world but &lt;u&gt;prepare them for it&lt;/u&gt; and maybe even have a discussion as to why their peers are being led to read these books and why, and seek to find them better alternatives even if you have them read old favorites. Biblically prepare them as well too, that will be most important as they confront these things. Even Christian adults have to be careful when it comes to even what our fiction and books are selling and influencing towards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-1737213231377471322?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/1737213231377471322/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/11/occult-and-witchcraft-books-dominating.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/1737213231377471322'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/1737213231377471322'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/11/occult-and-witchcraft-books-dominating.html' title='Occult and Witchcraft Books Dominating Among Young People'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TFTT15gmTEU/TtJVr3cOmlI/AAAAAAAABbU/WvUGJAYRnbo/s72-c/occult%2Bbooks.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-4433479748794308058</id><published>2011-11-27T07:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-27T08:27:20.970-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Variety of Links #3</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/cell-phones-are-tracking-devices-that-governments-police-big-corporations-and-stalkers-can-use-to-easily-track-your-movements"&gt;"Cell Phones Are Tracking Devices That Governments, Police, Big Corporations And Stalkers Can Use To Easily Track Your Movements"&lt;/a&gt; I guess this would apply to all the I-pads and other devices too. Something to think about. One thing they can trace it down, even if it is turned OFF and some have written they can pick up conversations too. The article describes even the "marketing researchers" keeping track of what stores people go into. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/who-is-the-most-influential-christian-leader-in-the-us-62657/"&gt;"Who is the Most Influential Christian Leader in the US: Survey"&lt;/a&gt; Billy Graham and the Pope are mentioned, no surprises there.

These movements don't just enslave and hurt young girls, but men too. He is a Christian but now exposing the horrible things in that movement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"And to those of you who practice QF who "mean well", you've been duped.

It has everything to do with numbers.&lt;/strong&gt; Like I wrote here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hmmm. So how do we get the numbers we need? I've got it! Breeding! But if we tell our people to just start outbreeding everyone, that'll never really sell. Sounds kinda kooky and cultic. Hmmm. So how do we do this? Hmmm. I've got it! We'll make it biblical! We'll tie it into their faith and godliness and stuff! We'll give 'em the Kool-aid under the guise of homeschooling and "family values" and stuff! They'll never even notice!

On that terrible and wonderful day, the VEIL WAS TORN. &lt;strong&gt;Our High Priest is Christ and our comforter is the Holy Spirit. Our personal relationship has no one in between us. Not parents, not spouses, not siblings, not godparents, not pastors, not elders, not deacons.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Either we can hear for ourselves WITHOUT outside influence, or we cannot.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Courtship defies the personhood of those subject to it and also questions whether or not that person is capable of living life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without answers to these core issues, courtship is in defiance of life&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thecommandmentsofmen.blogspot.com/2010/09/victorian-era-fantasy.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Victorian Era Fantasy"&lt;/a&gt; I've brought up that issue before in these Vision Forum/Quiverful circles how the past is glorified.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3590123653277147765-4433479748794308058?l=galatiansfour.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/feeds/4433479748794308058/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/11/variety-of-links-3.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/4433479748794308058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3590123653277147765/posts/default/4433479748794308058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://galatiansfour.blogspot.com/2011/11/variety-of-links-3.html' title='A Variety of Links #3'/><author><name>Bible Believer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08070722077201553730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590123653277147765.post-6187534307664565300</id><published>2011-11-20T15:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-20T15:12:42.428-08:00</updated><title type='text'>From The News4the Masses Blog: "Resist!"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JsZCl9Lp6cs/TsmJClcpnrI/AAAAAAAABaw/SE8wFrz9pCg/s1600/white-red-resist-the-devil-men_design.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="378" width="378" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JsZCl9Lp6cs/TsmJClcpnrI/AAAAAAAABaw/SE8wFrz9pCg/s400/white-red-resist-the-devil-men_design.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I relate to this article from News4TheMasses, a lot! Some of this warning stuff can be a hard job, given that many do not want to listen. Even realizing the immensity of how deep things go and how corruption and false wolves rule can be a burden like no other. I have to pray myself to God all the time to even deal with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens when you figure out so many of the "discernment" Bible teachers, preachers and websites are out there to fool millions? What happens as a Christian when you face the sheer diabolical agenda laid out when you "know" not only suspect that the Luciferian Deception is a reality and not just a scoffed at "conspiracy theory" that too many laugh off? While we were warned in God's Word, sometimes the human mind wrapping around it all, it can be very hard. Here is where dependence on God is paramount.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing, God has led people out there to warn even if most will not listen. I worry about obeying and pleasing Him first, even if sometimes even for me writing this blog, it is not easy either. It is His strength I rest on.&amp;nbsp; Keep up the good work News4themasses. I am praying for you. Even if we both reach only a few people, it will have been worth it.  I agree for everyone else, pray to God and let Him lead, Let Him show you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read the whole article at&lt;a href="http://news4themasses.wordpress.com/"&gt; "Resist"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;"I’ve warned about Rick Warren and Chuck Smith. I’ve warned about Billy Graham and Bill Bright. I’ve warned about Jerry Boykin and his Jesuit ties. I’ve warned about Glenn Beck, the Conservative Right links to NAR, Seven Mountains (Dominionist dogma), the Pope and much more. I’ve researched and exposed the early beginnings of Calvary Chapel Movement and it’s ties to Jesuit Nelson Bunker Hunt, CNP Tim LaHaye, Leonard Sweet, Chuck Fromm, and more. It seems to fall on deaf ears. It’s not you, it’s me. It’s obviously something in my delivery or simple vanity to try and reveal that there are WOLVES in Christendom that are liars seeking to keep you lulled asleep and distracted with the wide road. I’ve sent out emails detailing Chuck Missler’s connections and his heresy to “Discernment” sites that get hundreds of thousands of hits a day whereas I get 1/100th of that! And to no avail. The information on Chuck Missler, Chuck Smith, Calvary Chapel, Jesuits, ties to Rome are paramount, even far beyond what I’ve explained here on my measly little blog. How is it that bible scholars, world travelers, vetted career researchers who have exposed countless false teachers seem to be completely and utterly blind to those whom they’ve co-ministered with for decades? Their compatriots and their links to the very same evil backers they have sought to expose go on unchallenged. Apparently some have excused those “Discernment” sites stating that YOU, the average Sheep, cannot “digest” the weightier things of Apostasy and heresy and thus have succumbed to alerting you ‘piecemeal’ the dangers that await you. I submit to you this day that there is a deep and seedy agenda taking place and the warnings that have been sent out, although heard but not heeded, will only lead to a deepening delusion. I submit as well,that those with ministries set up who travel the world and say they are speaking/teaching of prophesy and alerting you are doing something else entirely. A narrative is being propagated. A universal narrative that is not limited to the US but truly reaches globally and it’s vainglory is to get you to follow the most diabolical and evil plan yet. Lastly, I am intentionally not leading you to the conclusion, because the majority say that you are too dumb to understand; however I must have faith God can and will call out His own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;I will only, and can only, pray that you do your utmost to seek to find out what is truth and what is not."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jam 4:7 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;

The children are great, they are sweet, and many are lovable, but there is much to be concerned about as the family that rejects television in their own house but stars in one of the most watched reality shows out there which advances insidious agendas.&amp;nbsp; I found myself thinking of Michelle Duggar's announcement:, &lt;i&gt;"What about the baby she just had, who has gone back on oxygen and who now will join the numbers of the neglected "lost" children?"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt; One example is Jordyn who seems to bumble around her family, &lt;i&gt;'asking who are these people and what am I doing here?"&lt;/i&gt;, horribly ignored it seems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, they have the right to have as many children as they want, [there are options for a couple to abstain 1 Cor 7:5 in the Bible which these two could have chosen] but very few realize that this couple is caught up in such cultic beliefs, that&lt;u&gt; &lt;b&gt;Michelle Duggar feels she must martyr herself to have as many children as possible&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;, forgoing common sense, and even caring about the children she already has.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;“As I thought long and hard about that, I realized that ‘There’s no greater love than this that a man would be willing to lay down his life,’ and I think as a mom and a parent you’d be willing to do that for your child — even the child that’s not here yet. I would be willing to do that,” she said."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://nolongerquivering.com/2011/11/08/maternal-martyr-michelle-duggar-willing-to-risk-life-for-baby-20/"&gt;Maternal Martyr, Michelle Duggar, Willing to Risk Life for Baby #20&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This article is right about the poisonous aspects of Quiverful where&lt;b&gt; quantity &lt;/b&gt;counts at all costs, and motherhood is to be pushed above everything else, even the well-being of one's own health and the children and family already present. I remember seeing these attitudes in the Catholic church, where with some Trad Catholics who did not believe in birth control,  even a broken woman who was told she would die by the doctor with the next pregnancy suffered badly. Her husband ignored her health and she got pregnant with number 16. I do not know the final results, but this woman's health had even been in more danger then Michelle Duggar's. This reminds me too of a Catholic friend in the same church who was told by two doctors, they would die via pregnancy and were told by priests, that it was their "duty" and they'd be martyrs for God if they died in childbirth. Remember prior to Vatican 2, this is how it was done &lt;b&gt;EVERYWHERE&lt;/b&gt; in the Catholic church. Some of us are old enough to remember. Even the allowances for natural family planning was part of the "liberalization" of the Catholic church. It remains to be seen, but I have the running theory that even Quiverful probably has a tie to Catholicism in it's origins to even be introduced as such a similar teaching. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To me, Michelle Duggar's comment about martyring herself for another baby is very disturbing, and ignores what would happen to a family like the Duggars, should Mom lose her life, in having the most babies as possible. Jim Bob Duggar also holds responsibility here too. Where is his concern for his wife's health and well-being or that of his children? Even with the announcement of her 20th pregnancy,some of the children looked horrified though others kept the smiles plastered on their faces.&amp;nbsp; Let's not forget just a year and half ago, they had their lives uprooted and watched mother and sister almost die. These things were ignored by the parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wVKd50kOsdc/TsfLGnjMH3I/AAAAAAAABaA/daYPBXJyDuk/s1600/duggar-240.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wVKd50kOsdc/TsfLGnjMH3I/AAAAAAAABaA/daYPBXJyDuk/s1600/duggar-240.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This ties into the Dominionism too, where the woman's worth, is only seen in how many future babies she will have. The article quotes Mary Pride, a proponent of Quiverful who states:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;“Missionaries go to foreign countries to beget new Christians; mothers get pregnant to be beget new Christians.&lt;/b&gt; Even if maternal missionary work has some hazards (and what missionary work doesn’t?), the noble way is to face them with courage. Likewise, we really ought to honor women with medical problems … diabetes, asthma, quadriplegia, arthritis, heart problems … who are willing to serve God with their bodies as mothers.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Michelle Duggar via her false cultic religious beliefs, has been told to have as many babies as possible even if means the end of her life and leaving the 19 she does have without a mother? Sorry but this stuff to me comes out of old school Catholicism, with phariseeical religious leaders laying burdens they themselves would not bear. How many average American families with both parents working a full time job to keep the rent paid and food on the table could take care of 20 children?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is something worrying about that. I find myself agreeing with some of the even the secular writers who concede that Michelle Duggar is a mentally ill "baby collector" who loses interest in each child, after they leave infancy. Having watched enough of the shows, her bond with the older children seems limited.  The older children seem to be more the "parents" in a way of the younger children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One &lt;a href="http://gmwilliams.hubpages.com/hub/The-Duggars-are-a-Dysfunctional-Family"&gt;secular website&lt;/a&gt; [warning there are some language issues] states it this way:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Is it really? Let's study the situation. Before their television show and book earned them millions of dollars, the children lived cramped together in a very small house . However, they live in a slightly large house since their television show. &lt;b&gt;Their children's bedroom is a dormitory-like setting with multiple bunk beds. They have no privacy at all. To top all this, they have to schedule time with their parents WEEKS ahead.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Their older children have no childhoods at all. They function as primary caregivers and it is mandatory that they raise their younger siblings. Their parents do not raise the children at all. However, the Duggars INTEND to have more children. This does not make sense to most educated, normal, and intelligent people. ,We have been educated to know that when a person becomes a parent, it is their responsibility to raise their children, not other children.&lt;/b&gt; If a parent is affluent enough, he/she usually hires an au pair and/or a nanny to help raise their children.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Although the Duggars have money to hire nannies and au pairs to raise their children, they elect not to do so. Instead they have their oldest children consigned to slave labor status as handmaidens and servants to their younger siblings. Psychologist decry parents who have children raise other children. Psychological studies state the children do not have the maturity and the development to raise other children. The studies assert that the raising of children is an ADULT responsibility, not ANOTHER CHILD'S responsibility. I concur with those studies. An older sibling raise a younger siblings constitutes child abuse.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Furthermore, many women, including Michelle Duggar, have an inordinate amount of children because of "baby hunger". Psychological and sociological studies maintained that there are many women who continuously get pregnant because they crave infants. Once their children leave infancy, they miss this and have another child. This is a form of mental illness. These psychologically challenged women kept on having infants to the neglect of the older children. This is what Michelle Duggar is doing. She is neglecting the older children to continuously have infants to satisfy her "baby hunger".&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;It is evident that the oldest children in the family are neglected and relegated to the status of servant to the parents and to the younger siblings. Most rationally minded parents stop at one or two children because they believe that it all they can care for emotional and psychologically. Financial affordability is not the only factor in deciding how many children a couple has Emotional availability should be another factor. Even though a couple is highly affluent, does not mean that they should have a large family. Studies show that as a family becomes large, parents are unable to invest much emotional time in the caring of their children.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;To state it succinctly, the Duggars are UNABLE to care for their children. Yet, the Duggars indicated that they wanted a twentieth child. This is totally inane. They do not even take care of the other ninteteen they have. They have it very easy as parents. That job is done by their children. There was one segment of the series in which the oldest daughters wanted to travel but the mother forbade it because she wanted them to look after her infant child"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I believe there is nothing wrong, with having older children help in a very large family, the Duggars have taken things far far beyond that. One can see even if they watch the show, the bonds between the "buddies" surpass that of the parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The parents merely round them up for trips, do a Bible study but even with the homeschooling, the oldest daughters have been given the job to do all the teaching for the youngest and have taken over most of the jobs, that a mother is supposed to at least be in charge of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, watching young women long out of high school, playing permanent baby-sitters for their mother, not being prepared for any future is also a concern. One thing about the Quiverful circles, is they leave their children especially female children unprepared in a society that demands education and some skills to succeed. If they were Amish, there would be at least a community and future beaus for their daughters to marry in a self enclosed system, but for now all they have formed is a gilded cage for their SAHD daughters to live in, denying them education, and opportunities even to build a future life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if they preach mother
