There are so many lying agendas today being foisted on the masses—some sneaky and silent and some not so silent. But they all share one thing in common—they’re deadly.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

This statement has been attributed to Hitler’s evil minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, although some say there is no proof that he said it. I don’t care who said it; my point is that this is happening today.

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel.” – Patrick Henry

The following are but a few of these lying agendas that have Satan laughing with delight for now, but whose stench reaches up to high heaven to the nostrils of God. Surely He’s just about had enough.

· Common Core agenda: I call this one “Communist Core” or “Commie Core” for short. Besides dumbing down our school children and stressing them out with 108 steps to add 2 plus 2, “The evidence shows that powerful and influential people and organizations have collaborated to create a global education system that will track our children and move them toward a global perspective that seeks to erase state and individual sovereignty.” – WordPress.com page 125, “What is Common Core”

· Ecumenism agenda: Convince the masses of the lie that all paths lead to God by watering down Christianity, unifying it with non-Christian religions and practices under the guise of tolerance, creating a one-world worthless religion. Ignore what the Bible says, that salvation is through Christ alone. (Ephesians 2:8; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5).

· The Islam Agenda: Convince the masses of the lie that Allah and the God of Abraham are one and the same and that true Islam is a religion of peace. Ignore the evidence in Islam’s Qur’an that promotes violence and says that Allah has no son. Ignore what the Bible says about the one true God and His Blessed Son—God in the flesh (John 3:16).

· Homosexual Agenda: Convince the masses of the lie that homosexuality is genetic and a normal practice. Ignore what the Bible says, that it is a sin. (Romans 1:25-27; 1 Timothy 1:8-10).

· The Anti-Semitic agenda: Convince the masses of the lie that the Israelis are occupying land that doesn’t belong to them and that the invented “Arab Palestinians” were there first. Ignore what the Bible says about His chosen people and His covenant with them, and that all who curse them will be cursed. (Genesis 15:18; Joshua 1:4; Genesis 12:3).

· Planned Parenthood agenda: Convince the masses that life doesn’t begin at conception; therefore, abortion is acceptable. Ignore what the Bible says, that God knew us before He formed us in our mother’s womb, and all our days were recorded in His scroll. (Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 139:16).

· Global Warming/Climate Change aka Global Governance agenda: In order to achieve the goal of exerting yet more government control and decreasing the surplus population, convince the masses to believe man-made emissions are causing global warming/climate change and that the government needs to step in and do something drastic to stop it. Ignore what the Bible says, that God is in control of all His creation. (Genesis 1:31; Job 12:10; Isaiah 45:9-12).

“Be careful when you blindly follow the Masses…sometimes the ‘M’ is silent.” – author unknown

I want to discuss in more detail just one of these stinking agendas, because I’m so sick of reading every single day that global warming is causing this problem and that problem.

The scientists that moved the Doomsday Clock up by two minutes earlier this year named global warming as one of the reasons. Oh, excuse me; they now call it “climate change” so that, no matter what the weather event or natural disaster, they can still blame manmade emissions for causing it. It just gets more ridiculous every day. I call it “commie change.”

These climate change cronies have actually been proven wrong and proven to be liars, and they still won’t shut up. Instead they’re screaming louder than ever! They want nothing to interfere with their global governance agenda, and many are being paid to perpetuate the lie.

“Facts do not cease to exist simply because they are ignored.” – author unknown

An MIT professor of meteorology, Richard Lindzen, dismisses these global-warming whiners as a discredited ‘cult’ whose members are growing crazier as evidence against their claims mounts. He said, “As with any cult, once the mythology of the cult begins falling apart, instead of saying, ‘oh, we were wrong,’ they get more and more fanatical.”

“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).

Let me give you some examples of how ridiculous this whole climate change thing is becoming. The Environmental Protection Agency wants to charge farmers a yearly fee of $175 per cow, since they say cow flatulence makes up nine percent of all methane gas on the planet. Did they consider that maybe if they didn’t feed the cows unnatural food such as genetically modified corn, then maybe that would reduce cow flatulence? Not that I think cow flatulence is really contributing to global warming anyway. It is not.

Labs funded by the government are actually working on developing a genetically modified cow that does not emit gas from either end. What side effects might this “god playing” have on those who consume milk and beef? At the very least expect beef and milk products to be more expensive at the grocery store.

The president of the U.S. says he wants cow flatulence reduced by 25% by 2020. He also said, “No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change.” Seriously?

While using taxpayer dollars a few years ago to research the flatulence of cows, sheep and other plant-eating animals and its effect on global warming, research scientists decided that dinosaur flatulence made a significant contribution to the greenhouse effect by putting enough methane into the atmosphere to warm the planet during the hot, wet Mesozoic era.

Noted Bible scholar, Grant Jeffrey, warned us before his death about the global warming deception and its true agenda— how it is “an orchestrated campaign of political pressure, flawed science, deleted and falsified temperature data—all designed to promote an environmental lie and thereby bring the West to its knees.”

The liars are determined to convince western nations to surrender their sovereignty to a global government. And it’s the Antichrist who will head up this one-world government. We know it’s coming, but that doesn’t mean we are to sit idly by and just let it happen on our watch without warning others.

“All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” — Edmund Burke

In his book, The Global Warming Deception: How a Secret Elite Plans to Bankrupt America and Steal Your Freedom, Jeffrey gives documented evidence that:

· Laws and regulations to reduce carbon emissions are designed to destroy the free enterprise system to produce a socialist economy and a plan to drain trillions from western nations to the Third World.

· The coming economic collapse, accelerated by global warming laws and regulations, will lead to international financial chaos. A one-world government will be presented as the only solution, to be followed by the arrival of the Antichrist – an economic, religious, and military dictator.

· The new pagan environmental religion of the ‘Church of Global Warming’ denies the existence of God the Creator and instead worships creation…’”

“They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator–who is forever praised. Amen” (Romans 1:25).

Here’s an excerpt of a Grant Jeffrey interview with Joe Van Koevering on the program God’s News:

Jeffrey: “The economists that have looked at this [carbon emissions reduction] say that what it would require is reducing our standard of living back to the year 1875…I’m going to get scientific now. Let me just tell you, if this whole church where we are having this television program represented the atmosphere, and we filled this whole church with 100,000 balloons representing all the molecules in the atmosphere, how many of those would be carbon dioxide? 381 out of the 100,000 balloons. Okay, how many of those 381 would be produced by mankind as opposed to termites, cows, horses…?”

Van Koevering: (laughing) “Cows produce a lot, don’t they?”

Jeffrey: “They do, from both ends! What we would find is only 11 out of the 381 would be produced by man. So, what we have is 11 out of 100,000 molecules representing the atmosphere produced by mankind. The truth of the matter is carbon dioxide has now been labeled by the Environmental Protection Agency as a pollutant. This is not only stupid, it is a lie.”

Jeffrey went on to say, “We cannot live without carbon dioxide. There can be nothing in our carbon-based life forms on this planet that can live without carbon dioxide…Yes, carbon dioxide is increasing. It absolutely is!…But do you know that as carbon dioxide increases in this next century it will increase the amount of food grown and the speed with which it is grown. And it will help us feed the world!”

Van Koevering: “Here’s the latest Newsweek. On the cover it says Thinking Man, and of course that’s Mr. Al Gore there. Interestingly enough he’s the prophet of global warming—he would like to claim. And it’s interesting that he’s made hundreds of millions of dollars on global warming. But that aside, can you smell something here?”

In The 70s It Was “Oh No! We’re All Gonna Freeze”

In the 1970’s there was hysteria over global cooling! In its June 24, 1974 issue, Time Magazine presented an article titled Another Ice Age that noted, “The atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades.”

An April 28, 1975 article in Newsweek magazine titled The Cooling World pointed to “ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change.” It said “the evidence in support of these predictions [of global cooling] has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it…Just what causes the onset of major and minor ice ages remains a mystery.” It also stated, “The present decline has taken the planet about a sixth of the way toward the Ice Age.”

From Forbes.com, Climate Change: Hoax or Crime of The Century? “The most accurate measures of temperature come from satellites. Since the start of these measurements in 1979, they show minor fluctuations and an insignificant net change in global temperature.

Who would lose if governments gain the power to order a significant reduction in CO2 emissions? Around the world, millions of people at the margins of survival would die. It would be a dispersed holocaust.

Millions of others would suffer unnecessary impoverishment and deprivation. Even in wealthier countries, people who are affluent enough to afford the monetary costs could find their lives heavily regimented by government bureaucrats monitoring and limiting how many miles they may travel and what activities they may undertake. This is the ugly truth about what potentially could be the crime of the century.”

I’m reminded of one of the ten commands inscribed upon the mysterious Georgia Guidestones. Satan just loves to counterfeit the things of God, and he has plenty of helpers out there in the world who will share in his ultimate fate. In this New Age monument erected in 1980 dedicated to “The Age of Reason,” The first command says the following: “Maintain humanity under five hundred million in perpetual balance with nature.”

The guiding force behind the movement is believed to be the evil Lucis Trust located at the United Nations Plaza in New York. As a matter of fact, an inscription was added to this monument last year. It simply says, “2014.”

I just read today what a U.N. official had to say at a conference in Brussels about this intentional plan to control the world’s economy:

“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 – you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation.”

From AnswersinGenesis, “A Proposed Bible-Science Perspective on Global Warming:”

“There is no reason either biblically or scientifically to fear the exaggerated and misguided claims of catastrophe as a result of increasing levels of man-made carbon dioxide (CO2). As we have seen, CO2 is a natural atmospheric gas that is essential for man’s existence. It is not a pollutant. The atmosphere is likely deficient in CO2 compared with the original created atmosphere. Reducing CO2 would definitely create problems, but increasing it will not.

Global warming is built on an evolutionary earth history and an evolutionary time scale. Anything built on a faulty foundation cannot stand. Global warming is an offshoot of evolutionary thinking and is needlessly creating mass hysteria. God is in absolute control of the earth and all it contains, not man.”

God saw all that He had made and it was very good…” (Genesis 1:31). “In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind” (Job 12:10).

I Saw What You Did

“I guarantee you in another ten years, people as young parents are going to have to explain to their children what privacy actually was. It will be an ancient concept like the horse and buggy.” – Grant Jeffrey

Speaking of emissions, an article at USAtoday.com, New Police Radars Can See Inside Homes, reported that there are now devices that can detect movement inside our homes and even show a 3D image. “The radars work like finely tuned motion detectors, using radio waves to zero in on movements as slight as human breathing from a distance of more than 50 feet.”

Hmm… Maybe we humans will soon be taxed on our emissions. If that happens can you imagine how quickly the store shelves would be emptied of Beano? Maybe we should consider buying stock in the product. But seriously, perhaps those pontificating prognosticators of global warming could reduce these gaseous emissions considerably by reducing the hot air they’re constantly belching our way. And there are a lot of them: presidents, pope, politicians and other people who are paid off to perpetuate a flatulent (which also means pompous) falsehood.

These newest movement-seeking devices will most certainly be used during the Tribulation. They’ll serve as a silent but deadly way of seeking out those who refuse to take the mark of the beast and are hiding in fear for their lives. In those days there will be extreme weather events at both ends of the spectrum to punish those who have denied God’s existence and rejected the salvation He freely provided through His Blessed Son, Christ Jesus.

The Wrath of God

“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle?” (Job 38:22-23).

“The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify Him” (Revelation 16:8-9).

“For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error” (Romans 1:21-27).

Here is a prime example of creature/creation worship: California is in the middle of a drought and has had to have water emergency rules put in place, yet the water is being allowed to just run off the mountains and out into the ocean. Why? The water is being reserved for a three inch bait fish called the Delta Smelt, a fish that is not even on the endangered species list. The creature worshipers would rather endanger the human population. America depends heavily on the fruits and vegetables grown in California, and they need water to grow.

In Conclusion

“Truth is truth even if no one believes it. A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it.” – author unknown

We don’t need scientists to tell us how close we are to what they call Doomsday, but we call the Tribulation. The Creator of science gives us plenty of signs in His Word. These alarmists with an agenda will still be blaming climate change on the disasters that will befall Earth during the Tribulation, but in reality it will be the wrath of God poured out upon an unbelieving world. He’s got a myriad of reasons, just as He did in the days of Noah, to be angry with mankind. And make no mistake about it; times have become just as wicked as they were back then.

“For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the splendor of His coming” (2 Thessalonians 2:7-8).

There is a way to avoid being left behind to endure the wrath of God that is surely coming soon.

“Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that He may have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:6-7).

“Because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved” (Romans 10:9-10).

God is in control; His Word is manifest. “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease” (Genesis 8:22).

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:10-11).

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,

Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore….

A lot of you are aware of the times in which we live, and you want to know how the new pope fits into what the scriptures say about the one-world religion of the last days. I’m going to start with the origins of the Catholic church and proceed from there. Lest anyone should think I’m singling out the Catholic religion, you need to read Ides of March Part IV: “As the Crow Flies,” which I will post as soon as possible.

Since the scriptures tell us the Roman church will have all religions under their dome during the tribulation, I’ll begin my focus here. I’ve been afraid to go into detail about this mysterious church, but NeverMore. Time is short. You’ve heard the expression “All that glitters is not gold.” Sadly, the gold here?…‘tain’t pretty. It’s pretty tainted. As a matter of fact, what I’ve discovered chills me to the bone. But God tells us to speak boldly for the faith. Let us pray for each other as we obey His command in a world that has turned upside down.

1 Corinthians 16:13 “Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.”

Deuteronomy 31:6 “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

To Catholics: A number of you may have genuinely placed your faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, and trust in Jesus alone for the forgiveness of sins. Perhaps you stay in the Catholic church due to family tradition, etc. But the exposed corruption and sex scandals up to the highest levels that just keep coming– especially the documented sexual molestation of many innocent children as young as 3-years old – should lead you to come out of this apostate church. I wonder just how many of these crimes have gone unnoticed. I implore you to read this all the way through, including the links provided, and then decide for yourself.

Luke 17:2 “It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”

Catholic Questions

There is a wealth of information here for any questions you may have.

http://www.gotquestions.org/Catholic-questions.html

THE GREAT APOSTASY

1 Timothy 4: 1-5 “ Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.”

Origin of the Catholic Church

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,

In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore….

For the first 280 years of Christian history, the Roman Empire banned Christianity and persecuted Christians horribly. Then came Roman Emperor, Constantine, who reigned from 306 to 337 A.D. When the Roman Empire started to fall apart, Constantine thought he could save it by mixing paganism and Christianity together. In 313 A.D. he, together with Licinius, issued the Edict of Milan, allowing Christianity to be practiced in the empire. Licinius’s letter of toleration and restitution was addressed to the governor of Bithynia, posted at Nicomedia on 6/13/313.

The Cult of Isis, an Egyptian mother-goddess religion, was absorbed into Christianity by replacing Isis with Mary. Many of the titles that were used for Isis, such as “Queen of Heaven,” “Mother of God,” and “God-bearer” were attached to Mary. Mary was given an exalted role far beyond what the Bible ascribes to her. In order to attract Isis worshippers to a faith they would not otherwise embrace, many temples to Isis were converted into temples dedicated to Mary.

The Roman god Jupiter was supreme ruler over all their gods. Roman sailors worshipped Neptune, god of the oceans. When the Catholic Church absorbed Roman paganism, it simply replaced the pantheon of gods with the saints. Just as the Roman pantheon of gods had a god of love, a god of peace, a god of war, a god of strength, a god of wisdom, etc., so the Catholic Church has a saint who is “in charge” over each of these, and many other categories. Just as many Roman cities had a god specific to the city, so the Catholic Church provided “patron saints” for the cities.

Constantine and his successors gave their support to the bishop of Rome as the supreme ruler of the church. They wanted to make sure the Roman government and state religion would be centered in the same location. While most other bishops (and Christians) resisted the idea of the Roman bishop being supreme, the Roman bishop eventually rose to supremacy due to the power and influence of the Roman emperors. When the Roman Empire collapsed, the popes took on the title that had previously belonged to the Roman emperors – Pontificus Maximus.

http://www.gotquestions.org/origin-Catholic-church.html

Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!’

Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.’

Interestingly, Constantine met his death on the anniversary of the Day of Pentecost (which occurred some 300 years earlier) when the Holy Spirit that Christ had promised fell upon the disciples in Jerusalem, not in pagan Rome.

(John 14:26, 15:26; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5). The disciples in Jerusalem received “the power from on high,” and they began to preach and bear witness to Jesus as the risen Christ, the King and the Lord, the one and only mediator between God and man; the only one with the power to forgive sins. This moment has traditionally been called the birthday of the Church.

News That Matters : “Cardinal Say to Muslims: We Believe in the Same God”

Cardinal to Muslims: “We believe in the same god”

It’s not just the Catholic religion making the above statement. I’ll explore this blasphemy in part IV.

BURNED AT THE STAKE

For hundreds of years the Roman Catholic Church didn’t allow people to read the bible for themselves. Many Christians were burned at the stake who tried to translate the bible from Latin to other languages for all to understand, even for trying to recite the Lord’s Prayer to their children in English. One person that stands out to me is Jan Hus, who is considered to be the first Church reformer, as he lived before Luther and Calvin. He tried to translate the bible into the language of the people, and was burned at the stake for doing so. His translated manuscripts were placed at his feet and used to light the fire.

Revelation 1:6 “I saw the woman (the harlot false religious system), drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.”

Why did the Roman church not want the bible translated? If people were able to read the Bible in their own language, the church’s income and power would decrease. They couldn’t continue to get away with selling absolutions (the forgiveness of sins) or selling the release of loved ones from the church-manufactured Purgatory. They would be exposed as thieves and frauds. The contradictions between what God’s Word said and what the priests taught would open the public’s eyes to the real truth. That truth would set people free from the grip of fear the institutional church held over them. Salvation through faith, not works or donations, would be understood. The need for priests would disappear through the priesthood of all believers. The worship of church-canonized Saints and Mary would be questioned.

The Roman church was ultimately unsuccessful in its attempts to hide the truth of God’s Word. Many risked their lives and were martyred to get God’s word to the people. When they began to read the bible in their own language, they left the Catholic church in droves (Protestant Reformation). One goal of the Protestant Reformation was to return the Christian churches to the state of early Christianity. But this did not stop the Roman church. They became more deceptive in their attempt to gain back total power. That’s where the Jesuit Order comes in. I’ll have more on that shortly.

What does the Bible say About Instructing Others in the Church in an Unknown Language?

For over 1000 years, the Roman Catholic church often conducted their mass services entirely in the Latin language, when no one sitting in the pews understood the Latin language. Most Roman Catholics who have sat through such a Latin Mass service have wondered what is going on. It was not until 1965 AD that the Pope finally understood 1 Cor 14:19 and allowed masses to be conducted in the same vernacular language of the local people.

1 Corinthians 14:19 “Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.”

Was Peter the first pope?

The answer, according to Scripture, is a clear and emphatic “no.” Peter nowhere claims supremacy over the other apostles. Nowhere in his writings (1 and 2 Peter) did the Apostle Peter claim any special role, authority, or power over the church. Nowhere in Scripture does Peter, or any other apostle, state that their apostolic authority would be passed on to successors. Yes, the Apostle Peter had a leadership role among the disciples. Yes, Peter played a crucial role in the early spread of the gospel (Acts chapters 1-10). Yes, Peter was the “rock” that Christ predicted he would be (Matthew 16:18). However, these truths about Peter in no way give support to the concept that Peter was the first pope, or that he was the “supreme leader” over the apostles, or that his authority would be passed on to the bishops of Rome. Peter himself points us all to the true Shepherd and Overseer of the church, the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:25).

http://www.gotquestions.org/Peter-first-pope.html#ixzz2O9AnqZdd

Bishops Were Married

1 Timothy 3:2-5 “A bishop, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money. He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?)”

Simon, who was also called Simon Peter, was married. Mark 1:30 “Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her.”

The Apostles Had a Right to Be Married

1 Corinthians 9:5 “Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?”

Jesus, Forgiveness, and Salvation

The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is the source of forgiveness of sins:

Acts 13:38 “Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.”

Ephesians 2: 8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” We do not earn forgiveness through our works. Instead, we believe in Jesus by faith and receive His free gift of eternal life.

John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

About Priests and Confession of Sins

The concept of confession of sin to a priest is nowhere taught in Scripture. First, the New Testament does not teach that there are to be priests in the New Covenant. Instead, the New Testament teaches that all believers are priests. First Peter 2:5-9 describes believers as a “holy priesthood” and a “royal priesthood.” Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, we can now approach God’s throne with boldness (Hebrews 4:16). The temple veil tearing in two at Jesus’ death was symbolic of the dividing wall between God and humanity being destroyed. We can approach God directly, ourselves, without the use of a human mediator. Why? Because, Jesus Christ is our great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-15; 10:21) and the only mediator between us and God (1 Timothy 2:5). The New Testament teaches that there are to be elders (1 Timothy 3), deacons (1 Timothy 3), bishops (Titus 1:6-9), and pastors (Ephesians 4:11) – but not priests.

What is the New Covenant?

Is The Perpetual Virginity Of Mary Biblical?

Matthew 1:25 “He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.” He, Joseph, did not have sexual relations with her, Mary, UNTIL after she bore a son, Jesus. The meaning of this Scripture is abundantly clear.

Matthew 13:55-56 “Is He not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? Are not His sisters all with us?”

http://www.gotquestions.org/perpetual-virginity-Mary.html#ixzz2O9CGYNqN

What Are Christian Saints According To The Bible?

In Roman Catholic theology, the saints are in heaven. In the Bible, the saints are on earth. In Roman Catholic teaching, a person does not become a saint unless he/she is “beatified” or “canonized” by the Pope or prominent bishop. In the Bible, everyone who has received Jesus Christ by faith is a saint. In Roman Catholic practice, the saints are revered, prayed to, and in some instances, worshipped. In the Bible, saints are called to revere, worship, and pray to God alone. (see Acts 9:13; Acts 9:32; Acts 26:10; Philippians 4:21; Ephesians 4:12; Ephesians 5:3; 1Corinthians 1:2). http://www.gotquestions.org/saints-Christian.html#ixzz2O98RsDtl

Is Prayer to saints and Mary biblical?

1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

The Bible nowhere instructs believers in Christ to pray to anyone other than God. The Bible nowhere encourages, or even mentions, believers asking individuals in heaven for their prayers.

Books the Catholic Religion Has in Their Bible and Why Protestants Don’t Use Them

The New Testament quotes from the Old Testament hundreds of times, but nowhere quotes or alludes to any of the Apocryphal / Deuterocanonical books. Further, there are many proven errors and contradictions in the Apocrypha / Deuterocanonicals.

Mark 7:7 “And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”

Do Not Pray Using Vain Repetitions

Roman Catholics borrowed the idea of praying with beads from the pagan religions who were already using them hundreds of years before: In 456 AD, Hindus are thought to have introduced the concept of praying with beads to the world. The earliest reference to a rosary (boberkhas) is in their “Jain Canon” (456 AD). These boberkhas had various numbers of beads: 6,9,12,18,36 (any sub-multiple of 108). Islam (610 AD) uses a rosary of 99 beads, one for each of the names of their god, Allah (who is not our God – I’ll discuss this in part IV). Buddhists have 108 prayer beads on the string. The Rosary is of pagan origin, and no Christian prior to 1000 AD used beads to pray.

Matthew 6:7 “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them.”

Go Straight to the Lord in Prayer

Matthew 6: 9-13 “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”

MYSTICISM

In my research for this article, I found that mysticism was and still is practiced by certain Catholic priests and visionaries (as well as other religions I didn’t expect to find doing so; but, that’s for part IV). The prophets in the bible did not perform secret ritualistic practices in order to try to “summon God.” God summoned them instead.

“Mysticism” is derived from the Greek, meaning “to conceal”, and its derivative “mystikos” means “an initiate.” In the Hellenistic world, “mystical” referred to secret religious rituals. A “mystikos” was an initiate of a mystery religion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysticism

God warns against these occult practices. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 “There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer (one who claims to be able to call up the dead). For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD .

What Are Familiar Spirits?

http://www.gotquestions.org/familiar-spirits.html

God warns of the ultimate punishment. Revelation 21:8 says, “…those who practice magic arts …their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur…”

Here is what the bible says about visions and prophecy in the last days:

Acts 2:17 ‘And it shall be in the last days,’ God says,‘That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams.”

God will pour out His Spirit and reveal things to them, not to people who try to summon up spirits. When they do this, it won’t be from God. Satan is the great counterfeiter.

1 Thessalonians chapter 5 tells us not to despise prophecies but to test all things to see if they’re of God, and hold fast to what is good, and to abstain from every form of evil.

MYSTERY BABYLON: ONE-WORLD FALSE RELIGION OF THE TRIBULATION

Defenders of the Catholic faith admit that it is well known that the early church referred to pagan Rome as Babylon, and that one of the beasts spoken of in Revelation refers to Rome. However, they don’t believe that the “Harlot of Babylon” refers to the church. I beg to differ. You will see why when you watch the video I will provide shortly.

Revelation 17: 1-5 “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot (false religious system) who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.” And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

Revelation 17:9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.” (Rome is called “the city of seven hills).

Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. And the ten horns (antichrist’s government) which you saw on the beast (antichrist), these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.” (At the time of John’s vision, the Roman Empire was that power).

SCANDALS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Anti-Mafia Raid: Police Swarm Diocese of Papal Frontrunner Angelo Scola

On Tuesday, March 12th, while the conclave was in session to elect a new pope, anti-mafia police raided the homes, offices and clinics in the diocese of papal frontrunner Angelo Scola. According to the Guardian, a statement from police said the raids were part of an investigation into “corruption linked to tenders by, and supplies to, hospitals.” That was certainly strange timing. Scola was the one that many cardinals congratulated, assuming he was the new pope, only to find out they were mistaken. Instead they discovered that Jesuit priest, Bergoglio, was the new pope.

Vatican Dept. Shares Building With Italy’s Largest Gay Sauna

The latest discovery in a string of scandals to rock the Catholic church came just two days after Pope Benedict resigned. Situated on a private road in Rome, a historic palazzo serves as homes to many top-level members of the Roman Curia’s Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples — the department responsible for coordinating the Church’s missionary work. It is also home to the Europa Multiclub, which boasts itself as being Europe’s largest gay bath house.

Recently La Repubblica reported that the Vatican spent around €20 million (which is $30 million dollars) in 2008 on a block of apartments which houses this multiclub. Boasting a Turkish bath, sauna, whirlpool and massage areas, Europa Multiclub also hosts themed events, including “dove parties” and “bear parties.” In the bear parties a male stripper begins his dance wearing Catholic vestments. The club’s website describes the location at 2 Via Carducci as “a safe and quiet neighborhood, home to institutions and ministries, a few steps from Termini station.”

Cardinal Ivan Dias, former head of the Congregation for Evangelization of Peoples took a strong stance against homosexuality. Yet this 76-year-old “prince of the church” enjoys a 12-room apartment on the first-floor of the imposing palazzo, just yards from the ground floor entrance to the multiclub. There are 18 other Vatican apartments in the block, many of which house priests.

Titus 1:16 “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work ‘reprobate’ (degenerate; immoral; perverted).”

Publisher Owned by Catholic Church Sells Books That Promote Pornography, Satanism and Magic

Germany’s biggest Catholic-owned publishing house has been rocked by disclosures that it has been selling thousands of pornographic novels. Bernhard Müller, editor of the Catholic magazine PUR, alleged that the pornography scandal at Weltbild had been going on for at least a decade with the Church’s full knowledge. Müller said that in 2008, a group of concerned Catholics had sent bishops a 70-page document containing irrefutable evidence that Weltbild published books that promoted pornography, Satanism and magic. They demanded that the publisher withdraw the titles. But their protests appear to have been completely ignored.

Catholic Sex Abuse Cases

Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore…..

The link below shows a series of convictions, trials and investigations into allegations of child sexual abuse crimes committed by Catholic priests and members of Roman Catholic Orders against children as young as 3 years old, with the majority between the ages of 11 and 14. These cases included anal sex, and oral penetration. In the 1950s, Gerald Fitzgerald, the founder of a religious order that treats Roman Catholic priests who molest children, concluded “(such) offenders were unlikely to change and should not be returned to ministry,” and this was discussed with Pope Paul VI (who reigned from 1963 to 1978) and “in correspondence with several bishops.”

With the publication of Pope John Paul II’s Sacramentorum sanctitatis tutela in 2001, sex abuse cases were now required to be reported to Rome first. Previously, an individual Ordinary was permitted to handle the accusations. This change placed all such cases under the auspices of Cardinal Ratzinger, who served as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith from 1981 until he was named Pope Benedict XVI in 2005. The Dallas Morning News did a year-long investigation after the 2002 revelation that cases of abuse were widespread in the Church. The results made public in 2004 showed that even after the public outcry, priests were moved out of the countries where they had been accused and were still in “settings that bring them into contact with children, despite church claims to the contrary.” Among the investigation’s findings is that nearly half of 200 cases “involved clergy who tried to elude law enforcement.”

IDOL WORSHIP

God warns against worship of carved images and the sun, moon and stars.

Deuteronomy 4: 15-20 “So watch yourselves carefully, since you did not see any form on the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire, so that you do not act corruptly and make a carved image for yourselves in the form of any figure – the likeness of male or female, the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky, the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water below the earth. And beware not to lift up your eyes to heaven and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be drawn away and worship them and serve them, those which the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven. But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be a people for His own possession, as today.”

HARLOT WOMAN DRUNK WITH WINE

Revelation 14:8 “And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality.”

HARLOT WITH GOLD CUP IN HER HAND

Revelation 17:4 “The woman (harlot) was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality.”

WORSHIP OF THE DEAD

Matthew 23:27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.” (There are over 100 tombs within St. Peter’s Basilica, many located in the Vatican grotto, beneath the Basilica. These include 91 popes. Some of their dead are on display).

Ephesians 6: 11–12. ” Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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.”

About The Jesuit Order

I mentioned earlier that, though the Roman church did all it could to try and stop it, many brave souls saw to it that God’s Word made its way into the hands of the people, and into a language they could understand. So, the Roman church became more deceptive in its attempt to gain back total power. Here enters the Jesuit Order.

The Jesuit maxim: “Give us the education of the children of this day – and the next generation will be ours.” I read that many of our journalists were educated in Jesuit schools.

Excerpt from March 2013 article in the Sydney Morning Herald

“The order elects its own leader, known informally as the “Black Pope” because of the black vestments worn by the Jesuits… Now, in a world first, a Jesuit has been appointed Pope in a surprise election that Australian Jesuits say could lead the Catholic Church in a new direction… They are a highly committed order that hatched from military beginnings… The Jesuits’ first focus was the conversion of Muslims, then halting the spread of Protestantism. The goal of modern Jesuits is to spread the Catholic faith, now through missionary work and education, rather than military action… Father Andrew Hamilton, a Melbourne-based Jesuit priest, said there were many Jesuits in the Vatican… Jesuits are known for being the intellectuals among priests… They run top colleges and schools… While most Jesuits avoid clashes with the Vatican hierarchy, previous popes, including John Paul II, have taken issue with the autonomy the order appears to enjoy… In 2007 the doctrinal office of the Vatican criticized the “erroneous … and even dangerous writings”, of a Spanish Jesuit scholar named Jon Sobrino, an advocate of Marxist-inspired theology. Father Hamilton said, while he was not fond of the military image associated with “God’s Marines,” it conveyed the idea that Jesuits were ideally available for special duties.”

History of Sexual Abuse of Children by the Jesuit Order

But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,

Darkness there, and nothing more.

The Society of Jesus’ (Jesuits) Pacific Northwest unit and its insurers agreed to pay a record $166.1 million to about 470 people who were sexually and psychologically abused as children by Jesuit priests from the 1940s to the 1990s.

Jesuits pay record $166.1 million in child abuse case

Former Jesuit Says Dark Spirits, Conspiracy, Betrayal, Heresy, Widespread Sexual Perversion, Self-Advancement, And Demonic Possession are Rife Throughout The Catholic Church, From Its Lowest Levels Up To Its Highest.

Malachi Martin was an Irish Catholic priest and writer on the Catholic Church. Originally ordained as a Jesuit priest, he became Professor of Paleontology at the Vatican’s Pontifical Biblical Institute, and from 1958 Martin also served as a theological adviser to Cardinal Augustin Bea during preparations for the Second Vatican Council. Disillusioned by its reforms, he renounced his vows in 1964. His books, both fictional and non-fictional, frequently present a dark view of the present state of the world, exposing dark spirits, conspiracy, betrayal, heresy, widespread sexual perversion, self-advancement, and demonic possession, each being asserted as rife throughout the Catholic Church, from its lowest levels up to its highest.

Jesuits Embrace Liberation Theology

Liberation theology is described as Marxist. Some liberation theologians base their actions on the belief that the real mission of Jesus Christ was to bring a sword and social unrest.

Jesus Came As The Suffering Servant

Isaiah 53:1-2 “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground.

Verse 7: “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth.”

Jesuits and the Chinese Rites Controversy

The Chinese Rites controversy was a 17th–18th-century dispute among Roman Catholic missionaries about whether Chinese ritual practices of honoring family ancestors (worship of the dead) and other formal Confucius and Chinese imperial rites were too superstitious to be compatible with Catholic belief. The Jesuits argued that these Chinese rites are compatible to Catholic beliefs within certain limits.

Veneration (worship) Of The Dead

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veneration_of_the_dead

In 1939, after two centuries, the Holy See re-assessed the issue. Pope Pius XII issued a decree of 8 Dec 1939, authorizing Christians to observe these ancestral rites and participate in Confucius-honoring ceremonies. Later, the general principle of admitting native ceremonies into the liturgy of the church whenever possible was proclaimed by the second Vatican Council (1962–65).

The Jesuit Agenda and the Evangelical/Protestant Church

They have a history of using trickery and deception: becoming “all things to all men” in order to accomplish their goal of bringing all religions under the authority of the Roman church, including working behind the scenes to cause social unrest.

Secret Oath from a Secret Society

Ian Paisley is a well-known politician and former church minister from Northern Ireland. On The European Institute of Protestant Studies website, posted the Oath. Dr. Alberto Rivera, who escaped from the Jesuit Order in 1967, confirms that the induction ceremony and the text of the Jesuit Oath which he took were identical to what is cited below. The Roman church denies it, but given what has already been revealed, decide whether you believe it or not for yourself.

Pope Francis: How Does He Fit Into The End Of Days?

Is he Peter the Roman? There are some clues that point to it. But the signs the scriptures say will occur together that point to the end of days are exploding all around the world at an exponential rate. This leads us to believe he is the last pope, unless his reign is very…and I mean VERY short.

The scriptures tell us the one-world false religious system will be headed up by the Roman church during the tribulation. But it’s going to take someone very convincing and something extraordinary to completely pull this great feat off.

On 3/13/2013 Rome Time 7:06 p.m., 76-year-old Jorge Mario Bergoglio became the new leader of the Petrine office.

Bergoglio is the son of Italian parents. He chose Francis for his papal name after Francis of Assisi, an Italian priest whose original name was Francesco di Pietro di Bernardone. The new Pope remarked, “You know that the work of the conclave is to give a bishop to Rome. It seems as if my brother cardinals went to find him “from the end of the earth.” Thank you for the welcome.”

He is from the Jesuit Order, the Society of Jesus. He has washed the feet of the sick in humility, modeling himself after Jesus, who washed the feet of His disciples. This pope has been hailed by analysts and the faithful as humble, conservative, and charismatic.

http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/world/new-pope-francis-hailed-as-humble-conservative-362118.html

The motto chosen for his archdiocese is “Miserando Atque Eligendo,” or “Lowly but Chosen.” His personal style seems to be the opposite of Vatican purple and scarlet splendor. He wears a simple, unembellished white robe.

Francis Chooses Design of Peter Holding the Keys to the Roman Church for Papal Ring

A Welcome from Shimon Peres

Israel’s president invited the new pope for a visit, asking him to contribute to peace as a spiritual, rather than a political, leader “He’ll be a welcome guest in the Holy Land, as a “man of inspiration who can add to the attempt to bring peace” in a stormy area.”

Peres said during a meeting with the leaders of the Catholic Church in Poland on Thursday. “All people here, without exception, without difference of religion or nationality, will welcome the newly elected pope.”

Regarding the pope prophecies of the Catholic’s St.Malachy, scholars don’t claim them to be of God. As a matter of fact, I recently read that Malachy was said to possess the powers of levitation and clairvoyance. God has true prophets, and Satan has false ones. If Malachy practiced mysticism, he definitely opened himself up to be used by Satan to suit his own evil purposes.

A Pious and Christ-like Pope?

Is this humble, charismatic pope as pious and Christ-like as he seems to be? Or is he doing what the Jesuit oath says, “be all things to all people.” You’ve been given the facts, folks. You can make up your own mind. What I do know is that the bible warns us of a deception to come that will fool the world.

Horn has written a new book that will soon be available for release titled “Exo Vaticana.” He claims to have documentation proving that the Vatican is behind a satanic hoax (extra terrestrials) that will explain afterward just how millions of Christians suddenly disappeared. If you haven’t heard this before, think about it. It certainly would scare everyone into believing this delusion and coming together into a united religion. However, these beings wouldn’t really be from another planet or universe, but demonic spirits from Satan himself. Here are a couple of links that have excerpts from Horn’s books.

VATICAN OBSERVATORY’S LUCIFER INSTRUMENT: Official name “Large Binocular Telescope Near-infrared Utility with Camera and Integral Field Unit for Extragalactic Research”

Lucifer is part of the Large Binocular Telescope, which happens to be right next to the Vatican Observatory on Mt. Graham in Tucson. That’s right, the Vatican has an observatory in Arizona, manned by Jesuit astronomers. Now its next-door neighbor is named for the Devil.

Scientists at five German universities designed the instrument, and they came up with the name, according to Daniel Stolte, a spokesman for the University of Arizona. Stolte,who is German, explained that the team was tossing around names, looking for an acronym that would fit all the technical terms. This is what he had to say:

“In Germany, they wouldn’t have the same hesitation that Americans would have, since it’s a very secular country,” he said. “I may be completely off, but that’s just my hunch — for us Germans, Lucifer just sounds cool. It’s more historical than emotional.”

Possible Explanation For The Disappearance Of Millions Of Raptured Christians

They’ll probably say something like, “They’ve been taken so they can be educated in how to be more “tolerant” or “enlightened/illuminated.” Then they will be returned.

In 1997 Guy Malone wrote: “Ask yourself a question – If at some point in the future, assuming you had no training or belief in Christian doctrine, and millions of people instantly disappeared from the face of the earth while driving, flying airplanes, from right in front of your eyes or from your bed, where would you think they all went? … They’ll say the UFO people took them away… It was too obvious. I’m far from the only believer to have figured this one out. But to work, it would have to be the greatest deception ever pulled on the face of the earth…”

– Guy Malone, Come Sail Away: UFO Phenomenon and the Bible, pgs. 6-7, 1997 Edition

Hal Lindsey suggested years ago that UFO’S may be the possible explanation given for the disappearance of millions of Christians in the rapture. But these so-called aliens from outer space would really be Satan’s minions – his demons. This delusion will be readily accepted by many who have been left behind.

Dr. David Allen Lewis & Robert Shrekhise, UFO: End-Time Delusion, pg. 25

“…They figure into the end-time scheme of prophecy and its fulfillment. The increasing frequency of sightings and “close encounters” are a part of an end-time assault on humanity. The prophecies of the Bible clearly reveal this. Both the seemingly benign and the hostile entities are playing their diverse roles… They will play an increasing role in preparing a segment of humanity for the reception of the Antichrist…”

Chris White, David Icke Debunked

In a video debunking New Age occultism, evangelist Chris White offers: –

“… Let me suggest a possible x factor… That is an extra terrestrial presence being discovered. I realize that there are many documents that reveal a plan of the new world order to use an alien threat to cause the patriotism needed for a world government. After all people would no longer view themselves and separate countries but instead a world family, this would also create the need for a world bureaucracy to deal with the threat. But I think that based on the propaganda of Hollywood and the occult writings that this might not be presented as a threat at all, but rather as them posing as a savior to a world that will be war torn, They will claim to be saving us from ourselves, they will claim to have genetically created mankind, and they would claim that they used to be like us and that we are on the verge of an evolution…

“…All over the world religions would be in turmoil, here are these aliens and they are claiming to have created us, that means they are claiming to be our God in a sense… All the religions would be forced to reconsider their ideas. Secondly, it would finally get the idea of a possible evolution to the entire world, everyone across the world, from the smallest village to the largest city would have a really good reason to believe that they too could be evolved, they could become like the aliens, they could become actual gods…

“… These demons are influencing people to prepare the way for what the new world order calls its phoenix. And what the theosophical society calls the world teacher, their Christ, what I would call the antichrist…”

And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! (For) she has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird. For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality.”
