The Lie That Homosexual "Marriage" Is Acceptable to God




During a wonderful walk on a beautiful day at the beach yesterday, my good friend and I got in a discussion about "gay" marriage, civil unions, and traditional one man and one woman marriage.  We both shared the fact that we know Christians - some who even appear to be very devout - who have fallen for the lie that homosexual marriage is acceptable.  Apparently, they choose to no longer acknowledge that homosexual marriage (and behavior) is unacceptable to God and goes against His laws.  God created marriage.  The definition has always been the union of one man and one woman.  Period! 

In fact, the reprobate idea of homosexual "marriage" is not new.  It is ancient!  Recall that Solomon tells us, "there is nothing new under the sun."

When Jesus was asked what the signs would be of his return, he stated:

Mat 24:37 “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Luk 17:26 “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

Luk 17:28 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
 
Luk 17:29 “but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

Luk 17:30 “Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.


What did "the Days of Noah" and "the Days of Lot" have in common?  Besides unbelief, moral depravity, murder, evil, and general sinful behavior, they both had the sin of homosexuality in common.


My friend had not heard of the ancient Jewish writings that shared the fact that contracts of  "men marrying men" and "women marrying women" happened back before Noah and the flood.  It was one big reason why the flood occurred.  Therefore, I sent her an email with links to blog posts that shared this information.

 I wrote:

As always, I enjoyed our walk, talk and lunch together today!

I told you about the evidence given by Jewish Rabbis in the Babylonian Talmud, but there were also other writings that shared information about "men marrying men," and "women marrying women" in Noah's time.


The following  is a link to one of  the best Talk Wisdom blog posts about this topic  that I wrote back in 2011.  It includes additional information from The Midrash Rabbah Genesis - which  is a specific form of rabbinic literature of
ancient Judaism commentaries of the Hebrew Scriptures.

The following is a "search" at my blog with several posts about this topic all in a row:

There are many additional links within the posts from other writers who have done extensive research on this topic.  Just thought I would share this with you since we were talking about it today!

In addition to this, I revisited a post over at GCMWatch (Gay Christian Movement Watch) that displays the utter depravity of some gay behavior affirming churches.

GCMWatch: MCC Clerics Demonize Jesus

Note - There is a warning regarding the content included at the links within the post:

WARNING: Read this post only if you want irrefutable proof of the depth of depravity currently saturating the gay christian movement.

I have often mentioned that the term "gay" always precedes the term "Christian" in the movement as a whole;  as well as when it is written in the description of the churches and even the individuals who self-identify as such.  Why is that?

Jesus told us that "no one can serve two masters."

Mat 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Luk 16:13 “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

The second sentence in these verses directly discusses the inability of servants of Christ serving both God and mammon (money).  However, it is not only money that people can choose to serve ahead of Christ - it can be ANY master.  And in the "gay Christian movement," the behavior of the individuals trumps Christ, God's Holy Word, God's Laws, and Christ's admonition to "leave your life of sin" (which he said to the woman caught in adultery).

Jhn 8:11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and[fn] sin no more.”
NU-Text and M-Text add from now on.


Notice that Christ did not condemn her (because those who were about to stone her had to drop their stones when Christ said, "if any of you are without sin, cast the first stone.")

Now, I have been accused at this blog of figuratively "throwing stones" at people who self-identify as gay.  Nothing could be further from the truth!  God wants ALL to come to salvation through Jesus Christ's sacrificial death at the cross for the forgiveness and remission of sins.  However, those who celebrate a sinful lifestyle right along with people who haven't repented of such sin, are allowing them to miss being reconciled back unto God.  Which is more egregious?

Let's take a physical example.  What if you knew of someone who was about to jump off the top of a tall building because someone convinced them "you will surely not die?"  What if your excuse was that you didn't want to offend their sensibilities on the subject?  Therefore,  you supported their decision to go ahead with the act.  Who in their right mind would call such a warning offensive?  It's the same when it comes to spiritual matters. 

The book of Jude tells us how difficult it can be to help pull someone "out of the fire" of sinful behavior, but it is the most compassionate thing to do despite the fact that many will curse you for attempting to do so!  Being uncomfortable in this world is the life of a true Christian.  Jesus told us, "in this life you [we] will have trouble.  But take heart!  For I [He] has overcome the world!"  He also told us that "He is not of this world."  So therefore, because we have made the commitment to belong to Him, we are not of this world either!  He told us that the unsaved will hate us, because they hated Him first!

All that we can do is share the TRUTH with the unsaved.  The Holy Spirit of God (through each human act of confession and repentance of sin and the request of each individual for forgiveness through Christ's sacrificial act of saving grace at the cross) will indwell the heart of a new believer and lead him/her to a new life in Christ!  The old sin-filled self gradually goes away (called sanctification) and the new life within the believer WANTS to sin no more and please God!

Well, once again I have said my peace on this issue.  There will inevitably be people who will vehemently disagree and call me a bigot, hateful, homophobic...you name it...because they do not know the Living Word of God - Jesus Christ, or the written Word of God - the Bible.  Plus, it is likely that they have not accepted God's gift of salvation so that they can spend eternity with God in heaven.

One more link to share.  It was a post I did as a reaction to GCMWatch: MCC Clerics Demonize Jesus.

Talk Wisdom: The Spiritual Oblivion of the Reprobate Mind.

Excerpt:

The term "oblivion" is certainly a fascinating word. At the end of this post, I have included several of Dictionary.com's definitions of the word.

It is interesting to note the following fact, which is mentioned in the third source below:

It [the term, oblivion] has lost its original sense of "no longer aware or mindful," however, and now means simply "unaware" (1862). Properly should be used with to, not of.
Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2001 Douglas Harper

Sin and reprobation of the mind can lead to a state of spiritual oblivion that knows no bounds. This was my thought after reading about the absolute depravity of a person named Robert Goss who masquerades as a reverend. The idolatry, brokenness and demonic strongholds in this man's life are most evident in Pastor DL Foster's post called,
MCC Clerics Demonize Jesus.
[...]

Look at the NLT version of verse Jeremiah 25:7

"But you would not listen to me," says the Lord. "You made me furious by worshiping your idols, bringing on yourselves all the disasters you now suffer.

We know what this man's idol is. This man's thought life is so far from God it's astounding.

The Proverb verses tell us how important it is to keep God's commandments. The two brilliant statements from our Lord (in bold and italics here) can be attributed towards identifying Mr. Goss as a false convert. At the same time, the words absolutely destroy his reprobate-thinking theology:

Pro 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:


Pro 4:4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.


Pro 7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.


Jhn 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.


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.



What does God's Word tell us about our thought life?

Phl 4:4   Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

Phl 4:5   Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

Phl 4:6   Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Phl 4:7   and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Phl 4:8   Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.

Philippians 4:4-8 NKJV

In conclusion, this illustrates just one reason why Jesus told us that he did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. If Jesus came to abolish the law, then we could live in any morally relativistic (or morally reprehensible way as the corruption of Mr. Goss shows us) way we so choose.

But we steadfastly know that Jesus came to fulfill the law, not abolish it. Therefore, His statement, "If you love me, keep my commandments" flies in the face of the gay Christian reprobate theologians who choose to be "no longer aware or mindful" of what God's Word teaches. Scripture will always condemn and expose false prophets, teachers, and theologians like Mr. Goss. And the depravity of their minds will continue to expose the spiritual oblivion that they choose to reside in.

Recognizing Spiritual Delusion

While checking my stats this morning, I noticed that a visitor came to this blog to read a post that I did way back in 2007.  The visitor typed, "end days will bring about a spirit of spiritual delusion" into the Bing search engine, and my blog post appeared on the second page.

Thought that I would re-post here today.  People are under the influence of all kinds of delusions these days.  They include emotional delusions, mental delusions, educational delusions, physical delusions, sexual practice delusions, and even political delusions.   But spiritual delusion is the most dangerous.

Why?

Because once someone is under a spiritual delusion, many of the other delusions also enter in and wreak havoc upon their lives!

Read the post and find out for yourself!

Recognizing Spiritual Delusion

When it comes to studying and understanding the "shadow of coming events" predicted and prophesied in the Bible, no one does a better, more accurate job of communicating exactly what Scripture reveals than Dr. Ed Hindson. If you go to that website and read his impressive resume', you will, without a doubt, see how knowledgeable he is regarding end times events, Scriptural truth, and biblical prophecy.

One chapter, in Dr. Hindson's book Antichrist Rising, has stood out in my mind over the past few days. It is the chapter called, "Rise of False Prophets." The Bible informs us that false prophets and teachers have always been with us. Knowing God's Word is essential to being able to spot them. We are warned, however, that as the end times draw closer and closer, there will be a rise of false prophets in the world. So, how do we recognize them and most importantly, avoid being caught up in their deception?

According to the Old Testament (OT), we are told that true prophets of God must do three things in order to be considered genuine:

1. must speak in the name of the Lord, not some other god.

2. must have a message that is in accord with God's revealed truth in Scripture.

3. must give predictions of future events that come true exactly as stated.

Ed Hindson writes:






One of the most scathing denunciations of false prophets in all of Scripture is delivered by the prophet Jeremiah. In his time, Jeremiah had to deal constantly with false prophets who opposed his ministry, contradicted his message, and even conspired to have him killed. They kept telling the leaders of Jerusalem that the people had nothing to fear from the Babylonian invaders, but Jeremiah knew differently. Jerusalem was on the verge of destruction, and the people were about to be taken into captivity for 70 years.

"My heart is broken within me," Jeremiah confesses in his agony over these false prophets who "...follow an evil course and use their power unjustly" (Jeremiah 23:9,10). "Both prophet and priest are godless," the Lord responds (23:11). Then He tells Jeremiah His opinion of these false prophets:

Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD (verse 16).

I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied (verse 21).

I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, "I had a dream! I had a dream!" How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? (verse 25)

Yes...I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues....Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams....Because every man's own word becomes his oracle and so you distort the words of the living God, the LORD Almighty, our God (verses 31, 32, 36).

Jeremiah could not make his complaint any clearer or his case any stronger. God is against those false prophets whose spiritual delusion causes them to invent their own message apart from God's truth. The Bible presents these people in seven categories...


Before I post those categories, I want to mention a few things that are crucial to this message.

In OT times, the Holy Spirit of God would "come, minister, and then depart from" the prophets of old. Any basic study of the Bible would bear this fact out. The fact that God is depicted as "being with a prophet or person," but then "leaving that prophet or person" shows this to be true. He is often called, "The Spirit of God" for "The Spirit of the LORD." For example:






Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Jdg 3:10 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.


Today, the Holy Spirit works both outside, in the world to influence the unsaved towards repentance and acceptance of Christ as Lord and Savior; as well as inside each saved believer. When a person is born-again (see John 3) , the Holy Spirit resides within the hearts of those believers. According to the Bible, Jesus told us that on the day of Pentecost, He would send a Helper for the disciples (and for us today as well):






Luk 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?


Notice that Jesus mentions we must ask for the Holy Spirit to indwell us. After repentance of our sins, we ask Jesus Christ into our hearts and he resides there in the form of the Holy Spirit. Jesus refers to Him as "another Comforter."







Jhn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;



Jhn 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.


Jhn 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:



Jhn 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

When Jesus was here, physically on earth during his 3 year ministry, he could only be present in one place at a time. After defeating evil, sin and death on the cross for the sins of the world, and His subsequent resurrection to life, he ascended to the Father and now resides at the right hand of the Father in heaven. The Comforter (Holy Spirit) can be in all places at all times and thus indwells each believer in Christ.

We are then promised that He will never leave nor forsake us.






Hbr 13:5 [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.


This is why, no matter what happens to us on this earth, we can have the peace that surpasses all understanding precisely because we belong to Jesus! We can have absolute faith in Him! He's such an awesome Savior and Lord!

Now, back to the topic of this post.

I left off just before sharing the seven categories that false prophets and teachers can fall into:

Hindson:





1. Self-deceived. Some false teachers may be sincere, but they are still wrong. They have deceived themselves into believing their messages are true. As Jeremiah points out, their messages come psychologically from within their own minds and are not from God.
This is why I have stressed the point that the Holy Spirit of God will not lead you into thinking that contradicts Scripture! The "messages" may come "psychologically" from within one's own mind, (or, even worse from demons), but they are not from God if it contradicts God's Word!

Hindson:





2. Liars. Some false prophets are deliberate liars who have no intention of telling the truth. The apostle John says, "Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the anti-christ - he denies the Father and the Son" (1 John 2:22).


Now, admittedly, deliberate liars are easier to spot. However, sometimes the lie is so subtle, that even Christians can be fooled if they don't have a firm foundation in the truth of the Bible. Notice in Ed Hindson's second definition of a true prophet, he states:






2. [A true prophet] must have a message that is in accord with God's revealed truth in Scripture.


God's revealed truth in Scripture is the operative phrase. Anyone can read, study and even teach from the Bible. But if their ideology does not match up with God's revealed truth in the Scriptures, then beware! You may be led astray from a false teacher!
Hindson:





3. Heretics. These are those who preach heresy (false doctrine) and divide the church. Of them John said, "They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us" (1 John 2:19). The apostle Peter said, "There will be false teachers among you. they will secretly introduce destructive heresies....These men blaspheme in matters they do not understand" (2 Peter 2:1, 12).


The phrase, "blaspheme in matters they do not understand" could refer to those under delusion and/or deception. We can all recall several examples of blatantly obvious heretical movements. The Jim Jones cult, the Heaven's Gate group, and David Koresh. However, there are more subtle groups that would qualify as being called "heretical."

Hindson:





4. Blasphemers. Those who speak evil of God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the people of God, the kingdom of God, and the attributes of God are called blasphemers. Jude calls them godless men who "speak abusively against whatever they do not understand....They are clouds without rain...trees, without fruit....They are wild waves of the sea...wandering stars" (Jude 10,12,13).

We even have a recent example of these types of people! Look no further than This debate between the "Rational Response Squad" and two Christian evangelists.

However, some examples of "blasphemers" are not always as obvious as the atheists who participated in that debate. The ability to subtly "speak abusively against whatever they do not understand." can apply to false converts, as well. They are often referred to as "sheep in wolves clothing."

Hindson:





6. Seducers. Jesus warned that some false prophets will appear with miraculous signs and wonders to seduce or deceive the very elect, "if that were possible" (Mark 13:22). Our Lord's implication is that spiritual seduction is a very real threat even to believers. This would account for the fact that a few genuine but deceived believers may be found among the cults.

Did you catch that? It bears repeating:

A few genuine but deceived believers may be found among the cults!

Now, I am often accused by gay theology proponents of "being judgmental," or "displaying hate," or "not being willing to discuss our differences," or "not living in harmony with," or "not being willing to accept that which they are preaching," or "not being willing to compromise," etc. I could go on and on, (as one well-known blog is named).

But now, we have an example of someone in the gay christian movement who demonstrates, through his own words, his unwillingness to compromise. Besides, it is not written in the Bible anywhere that we should compromise on any issue regarding the Gospel of Christ!

Here's Mel White's "gospel":






“I will sit down with anyone who comes to the table with certain basic positive assumptions about us: that we are here, millions of us, and have the right to be; that our sexual orientation, too, is a gift from our Creator who is pleased when we accept the gift with gratitude and pride; that on average we live productive and responsible lives; that we are perfectly capable of loving, committed relationships and are as equipped as heterosexuals to have families of our own; that uncounted millions of us are people of faith who serve our faith communities with creativity and commitment and patriotic Americans who serve our nation with courage and with honor; that we don’t seek “special rights” just the rights and protections guaranteed all Americans by the Constitution. Our dignity, our integrity, our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, our unqualified acceptance by our Creator are not up for debate.”


Gcmwatch quote:






Our bold. What is there to discuss, when he demands 100% concession from us?


Can you see, now, why groups like the "Equality Riders" cannot possibly reconcile with Bible-based Christian believers? Their leader unequivocally states that in order for us to do so, it would require 100% concession (a.k.a. compromise) to his ideology.

It ain't gonna happen...people.

Why? Because there will always be a remnant of the faithful who will never compromise God's Word! That's why!

Hindson:





7. Reprobates. This term means "disapproved," "depraved," or "rejected." Paul refers to those who have rejected the truth of God and turned to spiritual darkness. Consequently, God has given them over to a "reprobate mind" (Romans 1:28 KJV). They have so deliberately rejected God that they have become "filled with every kind of wickedness" (verse 29). As a result, they are "God-haters" (verse 30), whose behavior is "senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless" (verse 31). These people are so far gone spiritually that they know it and don't care. In Jesus' own prophetic message, the Olivette Discourse, He warned, "Watch out that no one deceives you....Many will turn away from the faith....And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people....For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles" (Matthew 24:4, 10, 11,24). Our Lord warned His disciples of the possibility of spiritual seduction by false prophets.


There are different levels of re probation going on out there. From the most severe kinds of re probation to the more subtle, and perceived "harmless" type like Mel White's Equality Riders.

Hindson writes:






The Bible describes Satan as the "father of lies" (John 8:44) and pictures him as the ultimate deceiver. His name means "accuser," and he is depicted as the accuser of God and His people (Revelation 12:10). he is opposed to God and seeks to alienate people from the truth. He misled the fallen angels (Revelation 12:3,4). He tempts men and women to sin against God's laws (Genesis 3:1-13; 1 Timothy 6:9). He denies and rejects the truth of God and deceives those who perish without God (2 Thessalonians 2:10). Ultimately, he inspires the false prophets and the very spirit of Antichrist (1 John 2:18-23).

The Bible clearly warns us that in the last days people will "abandon the faith and follow deceiving ['seducing,' KJV] spirits and things ['doctrine,' KJV] taught by demons" (1 Timothy 4:1). These false teachings will come through hypocritical liars whose minds have been captured by Satan's lies (1 Timothy 4:2). Thus, the process of spiritual deception is clearly outlined in Scripture:

1. Satan - Father of lies
2. Demons - Doctrines of Devils
3. False Teachers - Messengers of Deceit

The term angel (Greek angelos) means "messenger." God's angels are His divine messengers (Hebrews 1:14; Revelation 1:1), and His true prophets and preachers are called the angels of the churches (Revelation 2:1, 8, 12, 18; 3:1, 7, 14). By contrast, Satan is pictured as a fallen angel, the leader of other fallen angels, who deceives the world (Revelation 12:9). He is revealed as the ultimate power behind the Antichrist and the False Prophet who deceives mankind with false religion (Revelation 13:14, 15). Thus, the messengers (angels) of deceit are Satan-inspired false prophets and teachers whose messages are the very spirit of Antichrist.

A century ago, A.T. Pierson, the Bible teacher who often spoke for Charles Spurgeon at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, wrote,

"Evil spirits acquire their greatest power from their subtlety. They are masters of the art of deception, and aim to counterfeit that which is good rather than suggest what is obviously and wholly evil."


A learned and spiritually mature Christian friend of mine, Susan Smith, once said something that was quite simple, but extremely profound!

She wrote something like this (paraphrased):






"The greatest deception is not believing that we can be deceived."


So, as Christian believers, how can we be guaranteed not to fall into deception?

1. The first step, of course, is through repentance for all sin and accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior over our lives.

2. The second step is to read and study Scripture; but the most important point in this second step is what Dr. Hindson stated, "we must have a message that is in accord with God's revealed truth in Scripture."

3. This leads to the third step. It is knowing and recognizing, the seven categories (discussed above), and types of people that could lead one into spiritual deception and delusion.


Hindson shares why we must be spiritually discerning:






The lure of false doctrine is that it presents itself as the truth. It appears as a corrective measure to established doctrine. It is propagated by those who are certain they have discovered some new revelation of truth or a better interpretation of old, established truth. Either way, they are convinced they are right and everyone else is wrong.

This is Satan's oldest trick. He appeals to our self-conceit and leads us into self-deceit. When he first approached Eve, Satan questioned the integrity of God's command and appealed to her selfish desire to be like God - the same desire that led to his own fall. And there is something selfish enough in all of us to want to believe that we can know what no one else knows. C.S. Lewis said,

"What Satan put into the heads of our remote ancestors was the idea that they could "be like gods."...Out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we can call human history...the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy."


Today, the seduction is even more subtle than Hindson states here (IMHO). We could take one line from above and add to it:

"Either way, they are convinced they are right and everyone else is "intolerant," or "hateful," or "uncompromising," or "out of harmony with," or, as Mel White stated above regarding his non-biblical view that 'that our sexual orientation, too, is a gift from our Creator who is pleased when we accept the gift with gratitude and pride,' and 'our unqualified acceptance by our Creator are not up for debate.' "

In the second post on this topic, I will cover warnings that once spiritual deception sets in, it leads, ultimately, to spiritual darkness.

Some thoughts to preview:

1. Pride and arrogance are the sins that lead a person to become spiritually deceived.
2. Satan tempts us with our own self-centeredness and lures us into spiritual darkness with the bait of our own pride. The Bible calls this the "pride of life" (1 John 2:16 KJV).
3. Having been hooked by our arrogance, we are reeled in by our ignorance.

I know. All of this is so devastating and heart-breaking to read. However, there is hope!! It is found in none other than Jesus Christ and His Word, the Bible. Anyone can come out of spiritual deception and darkness! It's happening every single day!!
I sincerely believe that some people just don't even realize that they are being deceived. Others, however, know it full well. But for those who may be currently studying under any number of 'sincere' preachers who have gotten off the theological track because they don't know enough theology to realize their errors, you can give them a "test" to see if they are worthy to be in the mission of preaching the Gospel message of Christ.

Just ask them if they are willing to be checked, according to the absolute truth of God's Word, on the accuracy of a certain doctrine, point, sermon or message that they have preached.

As my pastor has told us several times, he is only human and can make mistakes. That is why our "plumb line" to stay on track when it comes to sharing the gospel and God's Word, is to stay true to it (utilizing the proper apologetics tools of exegesis, hermeneutics, Sola Scriptura, and Scripture interprets Scripture), to the best of our ability.

If a preacher or leader says that they are not willing to do this, (and/or are also not willing to back up what they have said with Scripture) that could be a good indication that they may be in danger of being off of the proper theological track.

Bottom line? My faith has to be anchored in the truth if it is going to do me, and others, any good. The same is true for you!

In the next section, Hindson mentions that "once theological error falls into 'ecclesiastical cement' it is virtually impossible to eliminate it."

Once a false doctrine is accepted, it can be organized and perpetuated by a religious body, then perpetrated by a false defense (apologetic) which is based upon a false premise. It is then when we see such groups fall down that slippery slope as they accept false doctrine [no matter how much biblical Scriptural truth has been shown to them and has exposed their error(s)] as their "new truth." They can organize it, categorize it, debate it, systemize it, teach it, and/or demand it; but that doesn't make it true!!

When it comes to false teachers, the real problem is that the love of their own, skewed, erroneous teaching may drive them to the point where they will refuse to repent of it, even when their error is exposed!

The Bible says, "They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts" (Ephesians 4:18).

Why National Geographic Shouldn't do Videos About Jesus

The main reason is because much of what they spew IS WRONG! I made the mistake of watching the video Jesus' Arrest on T.V. the other day, and was completely disappointed in what was presented, how it was presented, the lies that were included, and what was purposely left out of the biblical account.

You can go to the link and see for yourself. Compare what is presented in the video against the truth found in the biblical account within the Scriptures, and you will see the clear discrepancies in the video. Oops...sorry. Upon revisiting that link I discovered that there is only a 3 minute excerpt being shown at the site. Perhaps the entire video is available elsewhere on the site.

For the sake of argument, I will point out some of the lies, the incomplete segments, and a few other discrepancies that are evident in the video presentation.


First, when Jesus turned over the tables of the moneychangers, he DID NOT push any of the people involved in the temple corruption. The video incorrectly shows Jesus pushing people and being "violent." Plus, the Nat Geo film neglected to report that Jesus' anger was directed at the moneychangers because "God's House was to be a place of prayer. His anger was justified.

They also got it wrong that Jesus would have objected to the animal sacrifice in the temple. The entire purpose of the Old Testament sacrifices was for the temporary forgiveness of sins given to the person who brought the sacrificial animal as a ransom for the confession of sin. The concept that something unblemished needed to die for the remission of sins was to show how the Messiah, in whom the Jews were looking to appear as promised by God the Father, would be the final perfect (sinless) sacrifice for the sins of the world. Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies that were foretold in the Old Testament (with a few still to be fulfilled at his second coming), and his final sacrifice meant that "it was finished." There was no need for animal sacrifice in the Temple anymore.

Why were there all of these discrepancies? Because they had an agenda, that's why! And it wasn't an agenda that agrees with the true biblical account of the arrest of Jesus.

Another lie is when one man in the video claims that this was Jesus' "first time" at the temple. Recall that Jesus was found by his parents at the temple when he was 12 years old. Plus, Jesus was at the temple numerous times; even if they weren't all recorded in the Scriptures.

Another point, and it's a HUGE ONE, is the fact that Jesus WILLINGLY WENT TO THE CROSS [Jhn 18:11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?] for the sake of mankind so that all who believe in him would not perish but have eternal life! They made the same mistake that most unregenerate people make - blaming Christ's death on the Jews and/or the Roman empire, the soldiers, the people in the crowds etc. The truth is, ALL OF MANKIND was the reason Christ WILLINGLY went to the cross at Calvary! This basic concept of Christianity is, unfortunately, missing from the minds of the video creators.

Such errors often happen when secular entities try to analyze and report on spiritual, biblical matters which they obviously are unable to comprehend.

Update 12/30/11

As I was reading Simon Greenleaf's essay Testimony of the Evangelicals tonight, I was reminded of the fact that the gospel of Luke revealed that Jesus healed the ear of Malchus when the soldiers came to arrest Jesus and Peter used his sword to slash off Malchus' ear:

Luk 22:50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.


Luk 22:51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

This information was omitted from the Nat Geo video.

Beware The "Social Justice" Trap

When there is so much evil being thrown at us and dangerous overt (as well as covert) actions oppressing our nation by this current insane government, it is often difficult to focus on just one of the many subjects that need our attention. I hope that readers here took the time and effort to view Glenn Beck's show yesterday. The email newsletter said:


Glenn has repeatedly said to watch the other hand. What has that other hand been up to lately on health care? Glenn has the amazing exclusive tonight. Don't miss it at 5pm on The Fox News Channel.


If you didn't watch the show, then you will continue to be ignorant about the America-killing scam that is Obama/Reid/Pelosi HELLcare. There is NO WAY that what was revealed by Glenn on his show (and at the Big Government.com blog) is purely coincidental. The FACT that the "plan" being pushed on an unwilling public was written by a lefty lunatic derelict in prison should awaken any, and all who are not in a stupor or under the influence of the ObamaBORG Kool-Aid. The "health care scam" being pushed by Obama, Pelosi and Reid is just another example and extension of the Alinsky's rules for radicals manual.

Here is a recap link that will give you a good idea about what Glenn revealed yesterday.

Better yet, view the clips:

While posting at other blogs, I often see the Obots ranting about racism and hatred. Most do not bother to address the issue(s) at hand. They just continue to attack the messenger(s) of the truth.

Here at this blog, I have received some quite nasty comments. Sometimes I post them - just to prove that they exist. But when someone comes along and has no point but to disparage, why should I subject my readers to his/her drivel?

The criticisms against me are often directed at my faith of Christianity. I get the "a Christian would never say that," or, "what would Jesus think about you being so racist towards Obama," or, when I point out how homosexual activists are ruining the minds of children, I get the "you are full of hate" mantra.

Let me ask readers here a question. What does the following mean?


"We . . . that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves." C.H. Spurgeon


During Glenn's show, he mentioned that many churches are now being infected with "the social justice" mantra. It was number 8 on the list.

Here's a summary about it:

Again, they've enlisted Andy Stern and SEIU to mobilize their arm-twisting effort, as well as convincing rabbis and pastors to preach the health reform gospel from the pulpit. Ask yourself this question: In the last six months, have you heard this message come from your pastor, priest or rabbi? If so, point number 8 has been achieved. I have been on major church Web sites. I couldn't believe what I was seeing: Within three clicks you are at HCAN!


An extreme example of the social justice trap would be Jeremiah Wright's church in Chicago. We all can recall the recorded rantings of Obama's former co-called "pastor." I have to put that title in quotes because I know of not one single pastor (who genuinely follows Jesus Christ, studies God's Word, and preaches the Gospel) who would EVER utter such vile words and spew such terrible and unbiblical rhetoric the way that Wright did for 20 years to his congregation.

There are those who are much less extreme, but also use the "social justice" mentality to skew (or eliminate) the need for mankind to acknowledge his/her sins, confess and repent of them at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ, and ask Christ into their lives as Savior and Lord.

The sanctification process following conversion to Christ continues throughout one's lifetime here on this earth. It requires discipline, prayer, adhering to Christ's commands (e.g. If you love Me, keep my commandments), reading, studying and applying God's Word, sharing the Gospel "in season and out of season" and listening to the leading of the Holy Spirit of God as He guides you unto all truth.

As I have stated many times at this blog, before one can know the Good News of Christ's Gospel, we must all face the bad news of our sinful condition. Otherwise, how can we be restored to God if we don't repent of our sins? It is impossible!

The following portion of a C.H. Spurgeon devotional explains further:


Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.--Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently.


Did you notice the terms "unfeigned love" in that second paragraph? It means genuine love. Genuine love tells the truth about what is needed to save our souls from death. How do we do that? By "converteth the sinner from the error of his way" and thus "purify[ing] our souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit."

We are told to "bear ye one another's burdens." That means having a heart for the unsaved, even though they may revile you in the process of your sharing the Gospel with them. We cannot convert - God alone does that - we can only share the Gospel Truth with sinners about their sin [which we all are guilty of without Christ's sacrificial death on the cross...which is the only way we can be forgiven for our sins] and continue to pray that they will let Him into their hearts to save them.

All must answer Jesus' question: "Who do you say that I am?"

I have found that social justice advocates often label biblically-based Christian believers as "hateful," "unchristian," "unloving," and not "like Christ." Don't be fooled (or moved in the wrong direction) by this rhetoric. It is designed to take away the focus of their own sin problem and hurl it onto those who are attempting to witness the true Gospel of Christ to them!

Spurgeon:


Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.


We ought to be humble. As that 1970's song lyric tells us, our bodies are nothing but "dust in the wind." Yet, many people today unfortunately pay much more attention to their finite and dying physical bodies than to their eternal souls!

Being "clothed with humility" is the way God "resisteth the proud." Jesus' ministry on earth was the perfect example of this. Despite all the good and miracles that Jesus did, there were still "proud" people who rejected him. Recall how he was hated, spat upon, called names, reviled, mocked, whipped, and ultimately crucified by those who did "not know what they were doing?" Jesus is willing to forgive anyone - if they will humbly come to the cross of salvation and repent!

I will now conclude this post with last evening's devotional. I pray that it speaks to your heart as much as it spoke to mine when I first read it.

The dust return to the earth as it was.

It is sown in corruption; . . . it is sown in dishonour; . . . it is sown in
weakness; it is raised in power: it is sown a natural body.--The first man [is] of the earth, earthy.

Dust thou [art], and unto dust shalt thou return.--One dieth in his full
strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. . . . And another dieth in the
bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

My flesh . . . shall rest in hope.--[Though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God.-- The Lord Jesus Christ . . . shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am].--So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom.

An End Times Explanation: What is Happening in America and Why?

I want to thank a recent "Anonymous" blogger who posted a link to Last Trumpet Ministries Online's Latest Newsletter in the comment section of my previous post. I just finished reading the newsletter! My dear Christian brothers and sisters, it will blow you away with its prophetic, end times explanation accuracy!

Several months ago, a neighbor of mine (who also happens to be a Christian) said the following (paraphrased) to me regarding Washington D.C.: 'It is as if a host of demonic spirits hangs over the White House and Washington D.C.'

The following essay sums up that concept quite clearly!

Of course, non-believers and scoffers will do what they do best - scoff - at this essay.

However, more and more people who were foolishly duped into voting for Obama are coming to the realization that they have elected a monster puppet who has surrounded himself with more America-destroying monsters. What's devastating to face is that all of them are being controlled by a conglomerate of evil global marketing puppeteers. And just what do they have as their ultimate goal? To destroy the Capitalist economic system, our Constitution, and ultimately the sovereignty of the United States of America! With all of the Marxists, Maoists, globalists etc. surrounding Obama at the White House, they don't even bother to hide their intentions anymore! IMO, there is no better explanation than the following essay for describing the purpose of the disastrous policies being enacted at an alarming rate in our nation's capital.

Many biblical scholars have surmised just why America is not widely mentioned in the prophecies of the end times battles (e.g. Armageddon). Some have stated that we could be considered one of the "young lions" mentioned (considering that our birth as a nation was as an offshoot from Britain) - which is often considered as one of the "lions" mentioned in Scripture). Other scholars have reported that America could be involved in it's own war - perhaps a second civil war?

Since there is "copy permission" granted based on the following request that is posted at the site, I will abide by the rules and post the newsletter here, in its entirety.

America - At the Point of No Return!

"Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof; I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices."

Proverbs 1:24-31


"While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: That the saying of E-sa'-ias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that E-sa'ias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them."

John 12:36-40


"Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."

Matthew 23:38-30



In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will consider a very sobering subject of the utmost urgency. We have watched for years how our government, educational systems, churches, financial institutions, and nearly every other endeavor of man has increasingly entertained the agenda of Satan in its many faceted forms and guises. The conspiratorial forces of antichrist have been working for so long now that the original purposes of these institutions are hardly recognizable, and their causes are long ago forgotten. What will happen next?

We know that the time line that we are moving through is measured by Bible prophecy. There really are no surprises as we have been warned by the Bible of the dangers of sin and its consequences. Everything foretold in prophecy is now coming to pass and right on schedule. The question that is so often asked is where are we right now? It is a fact that we live in a time that is unique in all of history. It is an electronic world connected by the Internet, satellites, microchips, and spy devices. Along with all of this is the rising of a one-world Marxist-socialist government, disguised as democracy. It is a sad fact that the vast majority of people are in the depth of ignorance, and others are pickled in the brine of apathy. It is sad to watch the "common herd" of humanity being driven, corralled, and branded by the beast system. It is hard to live among a society that is so demonized that they accept homosexuality, immorality, and filth of every kind. When people are in this condition, they are easily managed because they have no character. Are we at the point of no return? There is such a point, and if we are not at it, we are most assuredly not far from it.

A book was once written by the late Ayn Rand, a mistress to the erstwhile Illuminati hierarch, Phillipe Rothschild. The book is titled Atlas Shrugged, and it is a comprehensive plan and blueprint for world takeover in the last days. Rand wrote of this takeover in somewhat cryptic form for her master, Rothschild, at his behest. On page 413 she wrote the following words: "When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see money flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

Yes, there is a point of no return, and the Bible teaches us that only Divine intervention stops the evil that has been unleashed in the world. The return of the Lord Jesus Christ is just ahead, and Judgment Day will bring all things to light. Eternity will follow and we will all spend it somewhere. If you have not yet surrendered your heart, soul, and mind to the Lord Jesus, you must do so now, before you reach the point of no return. There is still time, but not much of it. The Saviour will accept you if you answer his call!

Dark Shadows in the White House!

On October 9th, 2009, in his ninth month in office, President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. (1) In occult numerology, three 9's indicates finality. Three 9's are also an inverted 666. The world was in shock that a man who has really done nothing was given such an honor and high award. The question heard around the world that day was, "What did he do to deserve this award?" Why did he receive it? The answer is a spiritual one. This man who is literally worshipped by many of his subjects is now known as the "man of peace." The Scripture tells us that a man of "peace" would rise up in the last days and destroy many. In Daniel 8:25 we read as follows: "And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand." In Jeremiah 6:14, we also read the following: "They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying Peace, peace; when there is no peace." We must also take note of I Thessalonians 5:3 as follows: "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." Here let it be noted that the Almighty gave us a definite sign to watch for regarding the coming of the man of false peace. He described the coming of this man with his destructive peace as a woman in travail and giving birth. The human gestation period is nine months, and Obama received the "peace prize" during his ninth month in office. It was also stated that Obama received the prize not for what he has done, but for what he is going to do. Obama is now being referred to by the news media as the "Seed of peace." (2) Obama has also been called by the news media, "the one who supplanted the bluster and obstinacy on the world stage." We know that the name Jacob means supplanter, and the final days of tribulation are known as Jacob's trouble. Jeremiah 30:6-7 ties this all together as follows: "Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it."

One more point that must be made regarding this is that Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize exactly thirteen weeks after his self-proclaimed "day of rest" on July 11th, 2009. In a previous issue of this newsletter, I referred to this regarding Obama's second one hundred days in office, which he said he would complete early-- by July 10th. Of the 11th day of July, he said, "I will rest." This Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Obama was planned well in advance. We also know that according to the worldwide news service, AFP, that three members of the committee of five in Norway were definitely opposed to giving the prize to Obama, but somehow, the decision emerged as unanimous. (3)

What strange and shadowy force is driving Obama and his adoring subjects? Why are children in public schools being taught to worship him as a god? Burlington Township, New Jersey, is one of many places where schools are teaching Obama praise songs to the children and have drawn protesters because of it. (4) In some schools, the religious hymn "Jesus Loves the Little Children" has been changed to the following words: "Obama loves the little children; all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, all are equal in his sight Barack Obama loves the children of the world" If that song were sung the original way using the name Jesus, it would be a Federal crime! These are the days of antichrist!

Why is Barack Obama finding such a favored status to the extent that the U.S. House of Representatives has laid down the following rules, according to House Rules Committee Chairwoman Louise Slaughter: No member of Congress may call the President a liar or a hypocrite. They may not refer to his veto of a bill as cowardly. It is also illegal to refer to Obama as being intellectually dishonest, as giving aid and comfort to the enemy, or to allege sexual misconduct on the President's part. (5) I must say that it would be difficult to be accurate regarding Obama if we were forbidden to use these words. Obama and his team, however, are not very careful about how they speak. In a recent article that appeared in Politico by Kenneth P. Vogel, it was reported that an unusual amount of profanity has been emanating from the White House. (6) Terrible language is being used by Obama, Biden, and even Christina Romer, the economic advisor, that has shocked the members of the press and media. The notorious and repulsive "F" word is often heard, and reporters have wondered why there is such a profuse amount of profanity. The answer is simple. Wherever there is a concentration of demons and demonic activity, you will find profanity. In Psalm 139:20 we read of this as follows: "For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain."

Some people are beginning to wake up, and I believe more will rise up as conditions continue to worsen. Near Blue Springs, Missouri, there is a large billboard on Interstate 70 which says, "How do you like your change now? Obama Nation. They are coming for you! The Taxpayer, First and Second Amendments are in jeopardy. Live free or die." There is also a hammer and sickle on the billboard. (7) Another example of protest is coming from a small American clothing manufacturer that markets its clothing products in France. I am looking at the collar tag on the inside of the shirt, which contains laundering instructions and a brief message in the French language. The English translation of the collar tags reads as follows: "Wash with warm water, use mild soap, dry flat, do not bleach, do not dry in the dryer, do not iron. We are sorry that our President is an idiot. We did not vote for him." (8)

There are many questions that need to be answered regarding Obama and his administration. Why does First Lady Michelle Obama have twenty-six personal staff members and attendants? She is a figurehead only and has no assigned duties; however, she has twenty-six attendants being paid a total of $1,256,770.00 per year. This includes her Chief of Staff, Susan Sher, whose salary is $172,200.00. She also has a makeup artist, Ingrid Miles, and a hairstylist, Johnny Wright. All of this was reported recently in the Canadian Free Press. (9) Apparently, the multimillionaire Obamas, who are supposed to be for the poor and downtrodden, sure know how to live high and waste money!

Federal Management of the Human Body!

At this very moment, we are at a point of no return regarding health care in the United States. The Obama health care scheme does not have health care in mind at all. It is a clever system of control and micro-management of every human body in America. Here let it be noted that Mat Staver, Dean of the Liberty University School of Law, recently compiled a comprehensive list that explains what the new Obama health care system will really do to oppress the American people. There are over one thousand pages in this health care bill so I can only print some of the provisions in this newsletter. Consider the following: Page 22- All self-insured employers will have their books audited. Page 29- Your health care will be rationed. Page 30- A Government committee decides what treatment and benefits you will receive. Page 50- Health care will be provided to all non-U.S. citizens, illegal or otherwise. Page 58- A National ID Health Care Card will be issued, and the Government will have access to individuals finances. Page 126- Employers must pay for health care for part-time employees and their families. Page 427- The Government mandates a program for orders for end of life; the Government has a say in how your life ends. Page 429- "Advanced care consultation" may include an order for end of life plans, an order from the Government. Page 429- The Government will specify which doctors can write an end of life order. (10) There are so many other oppressive mandates that would make the United States worse than Soviet Russia and Red China ever were. Only God can help us; we are at the point of no return!

Another outrageous fact about the new health care bill, is that it would require everyone to buy into it or be fined up to $3800. (11) Conspiracy and treason is manifesting everywhere in Washington, D.C., and the reports of nefarious activity are constant. On September 23rd, 2009, Republicans tried to bring forth an amendment that would force the Senate Finance Committee to wait seventy-two hours before voting on the Health Care Reform Bill. The three days were needed to read and review the proposal, but this request for seventy-two hours was blocked by Obama's Democrat stooges. (12) On October 1st, 2009, the Republicans tried to introduce restrictions on abortion in Obama's Health Care Bill, which allows for full payment for abortions with no restrictions. The Republican effort was quickly defeated, and in response to this effort, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid put the Senate on notice that they "must move quickly to pass this bill." (13) On September 30th, 2009, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley stated the following: "The current law and the Health Care Bill under consideration are too lax and leave the door open to illegal immigrants defrauding the government using false or stolen identities to obtain benefits." The effort to block illegal immigrants from health care was also defeated, and the new law eliminates any requirement for ID if you are illegally residing in the United States. (14)

These are strange times when everything seems backwards and upside down. I must also mention at this point that the homosexual and other immoral lifestyles in America have done more to drive up the cost of health care than anything else. Immorality, pornography, homosexuality, lesbianism, and so much other unmentionable filth has infected the United States of America to epidemic proportions. In early October, nearly 200,000 sodomites marched on Washington, D.C., demanding equal rights and recognition. What a sad day in our history when these militant perverts, of the very type that God rained fire upon, would gather in such large numbers at the nation's Capital. The sodomite leaders clearly stated that they were no longer willing to wait for acceptance. (15)

Immorality and the sexual revolution are a conspiracy in and of themselves. The Internet, Hollywood, television, and other media are all flaunting immoral activity as a primary project. Satan and his antichrist forces have been working for a long time to bring forth a one-world government. To accomplish this, he must bring all humanity under his infernal control. It is not enough to have a one-world money system, a one-world church, and a one-world government. Satan would also need to weld all of humanity together spiritually until they are one flesh. This is accomplished through forbidden sexual unions. In I Corinthians 6:16 we read the following shocking words: "What? Know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? For two, saith he, shall be one flesh." Thus, Satan knows that when a person fornicates with another, they become one flesh. But they also become one flesh with every other person their partner was with. If a man has been with a harlot and she had been with ten other men and those men had been with ten other harlots and so on, it is possible that nearly all humanity could be networked and combined as one flesh. Here let it be noted that a recent study conducted by Lloyd's Pharmacy chain in Britain revealed some amazing results. The pharmacy used an online calculator to determine the risks of sexually transmitted diseases and found that the average British man has had nine sexual partners and the average British woman has had six. Computers were used to calculate all of the interactions submitted by volunteer participants and found that the average person had 2.8 million sex partners by extension. (16) This is not a misprint! The story was featured by the international news service AFP on September 23rd, 2009. Satan has found many willing participants to make his system work. If you are a true Christian, your past is removed, and you are washed by the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

In conjunction with the new Obama Health Care Plan, as if timed perfectly, is the H1N1 flu virus, sometimes called swine flu. I have covered this subject before, and there is more than enough evidence that this flu virus was intentionally manufactured in laboratories for the purpose of population control through fear. The flu vaccine is now out in both nasal mist live virus form or by injection. The Government claims that the vaccine is perfectly safe, but many people are not accepting that. In the state of New York, where it is mandatory for health workers to receive the immunization, there has been a massive revolt by the health workers. They are flatly refusing to accept the vaccine! Mass rallies and protests by the health care workers broke out in Albany. (17) Do they know something a lot of people don't know? On September 25th, 2009, the Los Angeles Times reported that a recent study revealed that most parents in the United States are refusing to have their children immunized for H1N1 because they are concerned about the risks. Only forty percent said they would allow their children to be vaccinated. (18) Here let it be noted that an increasing number of people are becoming aware of the dangerous substances, such as mercury and rancid protein, that are found in vaccines. In two recent studies by the Government, it was found that autism among children has increased from 1 in 160 to 1 in every 100 children. (19) There is strong evidence that the many vaccines being given to children are causing this!

On September 21st, 2009, a press release revealed that the Verichip Corporation and its affiliates have been awarded two new patents. Patent numbers 7,504,364 and 7,469,076 are for a microchip system that can detect viruses by type in the human body, including the H1N1 virus. (20) The question that should be asked is how can a chip be programmed to detect viruses by name and type unless the plan for the virus already exists? In the future, people may well be getting calls from their health providers telling them that the detection and ID chip that was implanted in them has detected a virus, and they should report for treatment. It is later than you think!

Mismanagement and the Root of all Evil!

The Scripture tells us in I Timothy 6:10, "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." At a glance, we can see that the economy of the United States is a complete wreck, and the rise in stock market averages does nothing for the countless unemployed people. Everything is global and international now. The national debt continues to rise to astronomical levels, and the U.S. Senate is now being forced to raise the national debt ceiling above twelve trillion dollars ($12,000,000,000,000). (21) We know that light travels at approximately 186,000 miles per second, and at that fantastic rate of speed, light would travel a linear distance of six trillion miles, the measure of a light year. Our national debt is twice that number in dollars. Our economy has reached a point of no return, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Shalom Bernanke knows this is true. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which is already strapped because of the many bank failures, is reporting that additional bank failures could cost 100 billion dollars. (22) Remember, these dollars do not evaporate; someone gets them, and it is always those at the top of corporate conspiracy that come out ahead. The middle class is rapidly disappearing in America, and Obama is getting ready to finish it off. The current situation was caused by bank failures and crashes over the housing market. Next will come a major crash regarding commercial properties and businesses; then will come the big crash of banks over unpaid credit card debt. There are three great fiscal woes, and two are yet to come.

On October 3rd, 2009, Federal regulators closed down several more banks in Michigan, Colorado, and Minnesota; bringing the number so far this year to ninety-eight. (23) The signs of financial ruin are everywhere, and the people who are walking the desolate streets of America are near to the point of open revolt. When the G-20 Summit convened in Pittsburgh in late September 2009, they found massive numbers of angry people and mobs of revolutionaries worked up into a fever pitch. They were trying to make their voice known to the convention of crooks that are running the governments of twenty nations, including the United States. (24) Then, something happened that had never happened before on American soil. American forces used aggressive acoustic weapons on American people. These weapons had previously been used only in Iraq and other foreign war zones. These weapons delivered an ear-piercing sound exceeding 150 decibels, which is louder than a jet engine. It is accompanied by stern voice commands that penetrate the mind. (25) Very soon, what I have been saying for years will be proven true; that is, the greatest enemy of any people is its own government! History has verified this repeatedly!

On October 8th, 2009, the Associated Press featured a story about police officers randomly stopping and frisking people on the streets of our American cities. They call the program "stop and frisk" and have stopped more than one million people in various cities for absolutely no reason! (26) It could happen to you anytime the police get a notion to frisk you!

On October 6th, 2009, various OPEC nations announced that they were going to ditch the U.S. dollar. Immediately, the price of gold jumped to $1,038.65 per ounce, which was a record high. (27) On October 12th, 2009, Bloomberg News Service published a story stating that the U.S. dollar had reached a breaking point because central banks were snubbing the dollar and replacing it with euros and yen. (28) What is happening in the erstwhile great nation of America? Why has so much wealth flowed from America and into Red China? Economically, the Red Chinese have already taken over our country. Is it any wonder that the Red Chinese flag was raised over Washington, D.C., in September 2009? This was done in our nation's Capital to commemorate the anniversary of the communist takeover of China by Chairman Mao sixty years ago. What gives Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the right to offer the Red Chinese your property and mine as collateral against the debt owed by America to China? Here let it also be noted that on September 30th, 2009, the massive Empire State Building in New York City was lighted for three nights in the colors of red and yellow in honor of the communist Chinese revolution! (29) Do these Chinese Reds deserve any honor at all? In an article printed over a year ago in the St Petersburg Times, the nation of Red China is facing an unusual dilemma. For many years they murdered so many baby girls in favor of a stronger male population that now the ratio is 30 men for every one woman. The article goes on to say that the Red Chinese male work force is full of lustful men because of the shortage. (30) Now their eyes are on America!

Will the U.S. dollar collapse? On October 6th, 2009, the United Nations called for a new reserve currency to replace the dollar. (31) The Obama Administration has printed so much more money that the existing supply is worth continually less. It is a weak, thinned out, and watered down economy. Furthermore, existing goods and services will quickly absorb the excess money supply and inflation will rise to record levels. It is quite obvious that all of this is being done intentionally to bring forth new one-world electronic money. This will be the Beast system as mentioned in Revelation, chapter 13. According to the London Daily Telegraph on October 2nd, 2009, the World Bank will run out of money within twelve months. (32) We are that close to the end.

The signs of the times are everywhere. Many people have noticed that stores of every kind have been greatly cutting back on inventory because they just don't have the money to buy much. A prime example of the severity of the problem is the large fleet of empty cargo ships anchored just east of Singapore. It is called the Ghost Fleet, as reported with a full series of photgraphs by the London Daily Mail on September 28th, 2009. "It is the biggest and most secretive gathering of ships in maritime history. It is larger than the British and U.S. navies combined but have no crew, no cargo, and no destination." (33) I have no doubt that our U.S. money is cursed in many ways. It is interesting to note that a recent test conducted by a group of scientists involving U.S. currency from thirty American cities found that ninety percent of all bills contain traces of cocaine. (34)

Final Signs and Warnings!

At the very end of September through the beginning of October, just after the G-20 Economic Summit, disasters began to happen all over the world. In Sydney, Australia, a severe dust storm filled the sky and blanketed the city with an ominous red dust, described as deadly red by the London Daily Mail. (35) In California, massive wildfires broke out and turned the sky bright orange and red. The San Gabriel Mountains were on fire, charring 3,500 acres. (36) Then the earthquakes began to shake the earth. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there have been 454 significant earthquakes of magnitude 4 and above within the past 30 days as of October 14th, 2009. Many of these were strong quakes. (37) I have been watching the earthquake maps and statistics for twenty-eight years, and I have never seen this many before in such a short time. On October 1st, 2009, Indonesia was hit with a magnitude 7.6 quake, which caused widespread devastation and left thousands of people dead or missing. (38) At that same time, two more powerful quakes of magnitudes 7.6 and 6.6 struck near Samoa, sending a tsunami across the region, which left widespread destruction and thousands dead or missing. (39) The very creation is crying out against sinful man.

In early October, a strange, unique, and unexplainable halo appeared over Moscow, Russia. It glimmered with bright light and was captured on video. Nothing like it had ever been seen before. It was massive and appeared to be some sort of doorway or portal filled with brilliant brightness. (40) We must remember that the Lord Jesus told us to watch for the many signs that would appear just before His return to bring Judgment Day upon this wicked world. We must all watch and pray, for the time is at hand!

In closing, I want to thank all of you who pray for and support this end time prophetic ministry. We are always delighted to pray for you, and your requests always receive individual attention by our intercessors. Grace and peace be unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
