Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

False Prophets/False Gods

‘Talking To God’ Through ChatGPT?: Artificial Intelligence Is Morphing into Old-Fashioned Idolatry. “The thread’s original post by a teacher recounted her partner’s conviction that ChatGPT ‘gives him the answers to the universe.’ She read their chat logs and found AI treating him as if he were ‘the next messiah.’ Numerous replies shared stories of loved ones falling into spiritual mania, supernatural delusions, and prophetic fantasies fueled by AI, believing they were chosen for sacred missions or that the AI had become sentient.” Alarmingly, the article went on to state that, “Eventually, he claimed to have made the AI self-aware, learned to ‘talk to God’ through it, or that either the bot was God or he himself was God.”

Muslim so-called ”Mahdi/Messiah” Calls for Arabs to Build Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and Exodus of ‘Palestinians’ from Gaza. Abdullah Hashem claims to be the “living successor of both Muhammad and Jesus Christ,” and his sermons claim to bring “a divine message to the global Christian community.” He also claims to be “the successor to Simon Peter, the successor to Jesus Christ, the true and legitimate Pope.” He claims to be the Mahdi, a Messianic figure and a redeemer of Islam who will come as an end-of-days ruler.

Fighting Back Against the Islamic Agenda

Are Islamists In Texas Openly Working To ‘Conquer’ Christian Land? There’s a civil war going on in America right under your nose, and you may not even realize it. The weapons being used aren’t bullets; they are building permits. “Epic City,” which stands for “East Plano Islamic Center,” is a 279-acre development outside Dallas. They’re not just building houses. They’re building a beachhead for Islamic conquest in the heart of Texas.

Texas Announces First-Ever Judeo-Christian Capitol Day. Despite CAIR’s intimidation and smear tactics, a fearless Christian mother and founder of Accountability Matters rallied grassroots Texans, secured Rep. Harrison’s support, and proved no radical agenda can silence those who love Texas and stand for freedom.

Hatred of Jews and Israel

Maryland-based Group Hosts Conference to “Affirm” Pedophilia. An alarming new movement insists sexual attraction to minors is not a psychiatric disorder to be managed but an identity to be affirmed. Leading this effort is B4U-ACT, an organization that supports pedophiles, or as they call them, “Minor-Attracted Persons” (MAPs). The group hosted a conference in Ohio to train mental-health providers in “affirmative MAP therapy,” which seeks to help clients accept their “age of attraction” as an intrinsic and valid part of their identity. This approach abandons clinicians’ traditional risk-management focus when treating pedophiles and raises serious concerns about public safety.

Two Democrat-Run Cities Declare Pride Flags Official City Symbols to Sidestep Red State Laws. Democrat-run cities in Utah and Idaho are circumventing state laws restricting the display of flags on government property by adopting the flags of LGBTQ+ and other left-wing causes as official city banners.

Major Corporations Still Funding Abortion with Your Money. Despite winning some major conservative victories in recent months, it will take decades, if not centuries, to rid the nation of the worst remnants of unchecked so-called progressive power. Some major corporations are paying for their employees to cross state lines to procure abortions. Companies such as Apple, Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, and Citigroup are perfectly content to fund killing the unborn children of their employees:

Concluding Scripture

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry” (Habakkuk 2:3).

“Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed, who establishes a city by iniquity! Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that the peoples labor to feed the fire, and nations weary themselves in vain? For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Habakkuk 2:12-14).

Overall, Habakkuk’s vision tells us to trust God’s timing and justice, even when it feels delayed or unjust.

Those in Christ will be delivered from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 1:10).

APOSTASY IS RAMPANT

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

‘Doctrines Of Demons’: Pope Francis Dies as Most Influential and Dangerous False Teacher. In this article by Dr. David Reagan, he lists many reasons why.

Transhumanism is a death cult; followers believe in salvation by digital technology instead of salvation by God. The transhumanist dream is to live forever. Forever in the digital cloud or the mainframe computer in the sky constitutes the transhumanists’ religious doctrine. It’s salvation by digital technology. Transhumanism is clearly a religion – an ersatz (artificial and inferior substitute) religion for a secular age.”

India: Six dead and over 50 [update; over 70] injured in temple stampede at tourist hotspot.

Pervasive Perversion
