APOSTASY =
Another Jesus, another Spirit, another Gospel, another
"christ"
The anti-Christ ( the Beast ), the False Prophet ( along with
false all-inclusive religions ) are the main players
in the end time scenario. Many factors come together to bring
forth their roles, the main factor being
APOSTASY -- religion based on error .
"Having a form of godliness ( religion ) but denying the
Power thereof " 2 Timothy 3: 5
The Power of Godliness is Jesus come in the flesh. "the only
Potentate" ( highest Being of Power )
1 Timothy 6:15
"I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for it is
the Power of God unto Salvation " Romans 1:16
"There
be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel
unto you, let him be accursed." Galatians 1: 7, 8
"As we said before, so say I now again,
If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have
received,
let him be accursed." Galatians 1: 9
2
Corinthians 11: 4
"For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have
not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not
received,
or another gospel, which ye have not accepted ....
( v3 ) I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve
through his subtilty ( appealing persuasion ) ,
so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in
Christ ( Jesus ) ."
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of
light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be
transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be
according to their works"
2
Corinthians 11:13-15
2
John 10....
"If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive
him NOT into your house, neither bid him God
speed." 2 John 10
We are not to have guests or door-knockers enter our home ( or by
TV, radio, literature etc. ) who bring another gospel ( error ).
We are not to read their literature or have any conversation with
them.
We are not to show them the error of their ways nor are we to
battle it out with them quoting Bible verses.
We are to let go 100 % and let God handle them.
"from such turn away" 2 Timothy 3
We are not to listen to erroneous teaching on the radio, internet
or television or any other source. We are to Feed our Faith, and
starve our doubts at all costs.
"I know in Whom I have believed." 2 Timothy 1 :12
"Matthew
24:23-26
Then if any man shall say unto you,
'Lo, here is Christ', or,' there'; believe it not.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and
shall show great signs and wonders;
( see 2 Thessalonians 2:
3
)
insomuch that if it were possible, they shall deceive the very
elect.
Behold, I have told you before"
Also
see
Deuteronomy 13
"If there arise
among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a
sign or a wonder,
And the sign or the wonder COME TO PASS, whereof he spake unto
thee, saying,
"Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and
let us serve them."
Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that
dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know
whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with
all your soul."
We must notice that in the above statement that the limited power
of Satan can cause miraclulous phenomenon.
So the litmus test of a false teacher is not the phenomenon which
actually does take place, but the teaching
itself. Does the person preach Jesus Christ according to the
Scriptures, or does he entice you not to believe the Bible, nor
to
put your trust solely in
Jesus Christ ?
Again, concerning false prophets: "he hath spoken to
turn you away from the LORD your God."
So the bottom line isn't the performance of the prophet, but the teaching
of the prophet. He may be a wonder worker, but does he honor the
Living Yahweh-Yeshua ?
Do you love and serve Jesus Christ of Nazareth more because of
the prophet ?
That's the measuring stick.
In
these last days, false teaching (error) will increase
exponentially. Those who have built their spiritual houses upon
the ROCK of Jesus Christ--- as taught in the Authorized King
James Bible---will stand.
Those who have built their spiritual houses on sand---- man's
opinion, philosophies, wrongful interpretations,
corrupted texts and "popularity beliefs", such as OSAS
, and political correctness -----
will fall prey to the System.
See Matthew 7:24-27
PAVING
THE WAY
The Apostle Paul---in Thessalonians Chapter 2---warns about this apostate
precondition that paves the way
for the 2 beasts to arise. This occurs before
we can go in the rapture:
"For that day (the Day of the Rapture) shall NOT come,
except
There come A FALLING AWAY FIRST" (Apostasy...decision/division
point)
----- a falling away from the inerrancy of the KJV Bible and also
from traditional fundamental doctrines. This falling away from
foundations will take place within major organized religions ,
who unite and embrace a new world order of social justice, based
upon a Social-Gospel of salvation by "works".
Please see United Religions
(UR)...
When churches and people sign the URInitiative , they are saying
that they believe that all faiths are equal.
That is not so, for not all faiths believe that JESUS ALONE
saves.
If we read the Book of Hebrews from Chapter 1 verse 1 all the way
through to Chapter 13 verse 25 we will see for ourselves that all
faiths are definately not equal. The Just One (only God) died for
the unjust.
We are not 'gods' with a spark of the divine within. We are
wretched sinners on our way to hell unless we repent .
Only Biblical (KJV-Authorized) Doctrine is solid and true. All
other "faiths" are erroneous, corrupted and twisted,
and are a perversion of truth. Only the Bible has withstood
the tests of time.
False religion (URI, global religion) parallels religion as much
as possible, but their bottom line is totally different. That is
why they are called "Tares" ( weeds that look
like wheat , Matthew 13) because URI imitates
as much as possible in order to seduce others; but once one
becomes ensnared, the end brings them out all wrong.
The basic error taught in all false religions is that : we are,
or can become, "gods". deciding eternal truths for
ourselves. What an ego-trip.
True Christianity serves the Living God, Almighty Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, who is one with the Father (John 10:30).
True Christianity believes in the Trinity....
3 distinct Persons in One Godhead...the Father , the Son and the
Holy Ghost.
Jesus Alone is Lord. We are not 'lords' or 'gods'.
"Neither
is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name
under heaven given among men, whereby we MUST be saved"
Acts 4:12 .
His name is "JESUS"..."Yeshua"
So we see then that there will NOT be a Rapture, until a great
split comes within Christendom...the wheat and the tares will
divide over politically-correct religion. URI
The Tares unite FIRST (See Matthew 13:30 and 39, 40 ). URI
Then the Wheat is gathered into the barns (Midnight Rapture)
Then the 3 1/2 years of the Great Tribulation take place.
All that remains is the Cockcrowing rapture and then Armageddon
whereby all Tares will be judged.
Seeking after signs and wonders...preparing for the False Prophet

URI---United Religions Initiative--concerns All major religious
leaders and their affiliates endorsing this global
governmental-religious policy.
All main-line denomination "shepherds" will hand over
their sleeping sheep to the False Prophet, a politician, who implements all the rules of
the NWO, New World Order.
We must
not be so naive as to be surprised when our most trusted
'Christian' leaders fall away. We are to have our trust in Jesus
Christ ALONE. URI will reveal who is truly married to Jesus
Christ, and who are wedded to politically correct religion (the
world).
"The whole world lieth in wickedness" 1 John 5:19
These apostates are compromised and bought; and they have
forsaken Jesus Christ... all the while professing christianity.
Their consciences are seared. 1 TIM.
4:1,2...."Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the
latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a
hot iron"
Will your local church affiliate?...your trusted spokesman ?
Will you personally affiliate?....will you sign the Initative ?
Only those grounded in the meat of God's Word (daily studying and
researching) , and who are interfacing with Jesus daily through
His Holy Spirit will have the Discernment necessary to separate
Truth from Error, and the strength necessary not to go with the
flow.
Please see "Apologetics" on Links page 2
("Though
none go with me, I still will follow Jesus ; no turning back, no
turning back.") From
the song: "I have decided to follow Jesus"
Rev.
18:4
"Come
out of her my people"....out of Ecumenical
Religious Babylon.
w.jeremiahproject.com/prophecy/ecumen01.html
"Multitudes,
multitudes in the Valley of Decision"....Joel 3:14
This Initiative currently being drafted by United Religions will
pertain to every facet of our lives. "Church" is not
just a segment of time on a scheduled day of the week.
"Church" ......(relationship with one's God) is
intrinsic to every second of our life; it affects all of our
actions. It is our very lifestyle. That is why there never can be
separation of Church and State as it is implemented
today....trying to separate God from one's lifestyle.
[Lifestyle..."seitzenleiben"] The Constitution forbids
it.
Our US Constitution stated that there should be a true separation
of Church and State, meaning that the government could not
enforce legislations that would interfere with our
Judeo-Christian lifestyle. The government could not tell us what
to do in matters pertaining to religion.This was emphatically put
down in writing by our Forefathers.
We now have words meaning 180 degrees opposite of their intended
usage. (Lies...."newspeak")
See how cleverly they have circumvented our Godly Constitution?
They have superseded it with global government, thereby
nullifying all that our Forefathers laid down for a Foundation.
Our Constitutional Foundation prohibited tyrannical government
from interfering in one's religion. Our Forefathers came to
America--- this last bastion of refuge--- fleeing religious
persecution. [Just like in "Sound of Music"] They knew
well the bottom line of human government.....the evil desire for
total control.
Jesus came to set men free.John 8:36..."If the Son
therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
Controlling-Religion-and-Governments come to put men in bondage.
Matthew 23:4..."For they bind heavy burdens and grevious to
be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves
will not move them with one of their fingers".
Galatians
1: 6-10 "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that
called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is
not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would
pervert the gospel of Christ.
But though we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel
unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be
accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any
other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be
accursed."
What is the true Gospel ? That Jesus Christ of Nazareth died for
all men;
and that through one's trust in His shed blood at Calvary,
and by our repenting of our sins and changed lifestyle,
we can have forgiveness of our sins and eternal life.
That is the Good News. Otherwise we are all destined for hell.
There
is no "other " Gospel.
ENDORSEMENT
"Laodicea" means "of the people"
The key
word in all of this is ENDORSEMENT:
The people ENDORSE United Religions:
United Religions ENDORSE the False Prophet:
The False Prophet ENDORSES the 666 System and the antiChrist,
who ENDORSES Satan......."and they worshipped the
Dragon".Rev. 13:4
ENDORSEMENT = BETRAYAL OF JESUS CHRIST
"Judas with a kiss.....'Christians' with an
ENDORSEMENT"
We now have a great "Love and Peace" Feast.
The False Prophet will be talking "love, compassion, unity,
and peace with security ".
He and his followers will have a hypocritical Inclusive-tolerance
of all ecumenical-religions;
They will worship the planet through extreme environmentalism [
earth-ethic]
and the goddess GAIA...wind, earth, fire, water and spirit....the
natural elements.)
They will worship the creation, but not the Creator. Romans 1.
Jesus
is the ONLY Way www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/8449/only.html
And the anti-Christ will be talking "peace ...... with
security forces"
( Dan.
8:25......."and
by peace shall destroy many")
Through the
Crucible
This
self-love-Feast ultimately ends in Hate and Death of the
Born-Agains, those deeply committed Christians, and all
Bible-Believers. Global Religion postures
"inclusiveness" and "tolerance", but it
reviles those who love Jesus Christ exclusively. This persecution
is even now gaining momentum against the people of the Book.
Everyday the FBI comes out with more warnings of
"apocalyptic" mayhem from biblical reference groups.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the Christians who are
being targeted at Peducah, Littleton and Fort Worth?
How did Freeh and the Justice Department twist it around so that
the victims became perpetrators??...... Through indoctrination
and word-smiths.
Project Megiddo.
Waco was a haven of defense for their followers. Yet the Media
and law officials twisted that into an "offense"
against the government. The Waco believers feared the government,
and their fears proved true.
Government was supposed to protect freedom of religion....not
send SWAT teams and grenades against it.
Governments fear true religion (relationship) because it captures
the heart.
Government can only capture the baited-vote. Voters can be
indoctrinated, when truth is denied.
WICKED
COMMERCIALISM .......MYSTERY BABYLON
This is MYSTERY BABYLON...
www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/caesar.html
w.alaska.net/~fcp/docs/MysteryBabylon/m1_intro.htm
a religious-political-commercial mix. (Rev.17 and 18). World Trade
The False Prophet will be enforcing the agenda of the
united-global "religion"
(using "social-justice" for his Machiavellian CAUSE...
resulting in classless societies.
Thus ends Capitalism and free market enterprise.
While Capitalism does have its excesses of greed and exploitation
( mainly by monopoly ...breaking anti-trust laws), it does allow
for individualism and free choice. Because American Businesses (
the 500 etc. ) have abused the privileges of free enterprise and
have become monarchs of monopolies, we are being judged, and our
expressions of individuality are being taken away. See
"Tyrus" www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/3bibi.html
NAFTA, GATT and the WTO are bent on making us all cogs in a wheel
with survival- only wages (parity). That's their concept of
"social justice". When the new rules and
standardizations are enforced, this will make and break nations.
Food will be the weapon used for diabolical control. We are
already seeing this played out in today's embargoes and sanctions
(starvation, malnutrition). Not only will food be used to control
nations, but it will be the weapon of choice to coerce
individuals to take the 666 mark.
This is
wicked, bloody commercialism and banking. Evil
economics...Mystery Babylon

Rev/Apoc

Yet we are to "Fear none of those things which thou shalt

IT's A
STRANGE , STRANGE WORLD WE LIVE IN
It seems strange that those who profited the most from Capitalism
(mega-corporation CEO's)--- having excessive wealth and greatly
enjoying its exclusive advantages--- are the very ones who turn
against Capitalism and fund all of the Socialistic causes behind
one world government. These elitists arrogantly suppose that they
know what is best for us, and of course they are the exceptions
to the rule.
It seems strange that those who are in high government have taken
our country and sold it out to the enemy. These men in high
places are the ones who have taken away our beautiful
independence and sovereignty. Shouldn't they have been the very
ones to have loved and protected our country and her Constitution
above all else?
It seems strange that our shepherds (and their sheep) have left
the Chief Shepherd and have played the harlot with the world,
loving to adulterate and compromise.... as if the Holy Word could
be toyed with.
It seems strange that homes were once the center of society and
the heart of the nation. Today many homes are empty, dark and
cold.
www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/2000/04/13/timopnope01003.html
It seems strange that children were once innocent and docile and
have turned jaded and bold....
or else live with overwhelming fears and emotional abandonment.
All of this is our new society...our brave new world...our harlot
on the Beast....drunken with blood. "And when I saw her I
wondered"......Rev.17:6
It's
no secret that judgement is coming here. Everyday we hear the
drumbeats louder and louder than the day before....relentlessly
drumming away their forebodings.... war, economic disaster,
terrorism etc. We all hear it. We can all feel it. We know that
it is long overdue because of our apostasy.
Why is America's apostasy so incurable? Perhaps the answer lies
in Jeremiah
18:11,12:
"Thus says the LORD:'Behold, I frame evil against you, and
devise a device against you. Return [repent] ye now every one
from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good"
And they said, "There is no hope: but we will walk
after our own devices, and we will everyone do the imagination of
his evil heart."
In essence they were saying.......'That's impossible! We would
rather walk according to our own plans, and according to our own
counsels of heart'. [paraphrased]
From that time on they came against the messenger and his
message.
May we pray to be
delivered from rationalization. May we love the TRUTH found only
in God's Holy Word, the Bible. May we read it everyday, watching
for the signs of His coming.....watching unto prayer. May we rise
to the courage needed in this hour. Amen.

What
Cults Believe
A
defective view of Christ, the Father, or the Holy Spirit
indicates cult-like tendencies.
To the Jehovah's
Witnesses, Jesus is the archangel Michael,
to the Baha'i's He is only one of a
whole string of messiahs,
to the Mormons, He is the spirit
brother of Lucifer.
To Word of Faith--well, perhaps we can
see the cultic ties more clearly in their view of Christ than in
any other field. Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin and a host of Word of Faith
leadership teach that the atonement did not take place on the
cross, but in hell. Simply put, it was not the blood of Christ
that spoke for the full and complete atonement of man to God.
Hagin has said that if a physical death was all it took to pay
the price, the thief on the cross could have done that. No, Word of Faith teaches that Christ went
to hell (as a mere man)
in our place, suffered torment for three days at the hands of
demon spirits who rejoiced over their victory, and then became
born again. You heard right. Jesus Christ,
the Son of God who is the great I Am (John 8:58), the eternal God
(Isaiah 6:1-4) who is the same yesterday, today and forever
(Hebrews 13:8)...had to be born again.
