YOU ARE NOW ON

THE CUTTING EDGE

The world and the Christian church are quickly witnessing the creation of a "god' that all unholy men can worship. There is an invasion into the church of this "god". He is Christian in appearance without being Christian in Biblical theology. His is a kind of hybrid Christianity with a pious facade that already has millions of church members quickly offering their souls.
For many years we have questioned how the entire world could be deceived into worshipping Satan, believing that he is God. Multiplied millions of people have seen and heard enough about the Biblical God to surely know better. The concept, the appearance, of this strange god-like manifestation must be Satan's masterpiece of deception. For the devil to be able to pull off this final act of rebellion against the Great God of Eternity will require his best great act of masquerading powers.

Jesus and Paul warn us greatly about the unparalleled spiritual deception at the End of the Age; but few people are listening these days, even many Evangelical Christian leaders who should surely know better, having been trained in seminaries that should have provided them Biblical discernment to avoid this current sorry situation in which entire movements have been led astray by the very people who are being depended upon by millions to spot the deception.

Let us quickly review Biblical warnings of unparalleled spiritual deception at the End of the Age:

* "Take heed that no man deceive you." [Matt 24:4]

* "And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." [Matt 24:11]

* "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." [Matt 24:24] The word, "Christ" refers to the "office of the Jewish Messiah" and it is as much political as religious; therefore, Jesus is warning us to beware of both political and religious deceptions at the End of the Age -- unparalleled deceptions in both arenas.

* "Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition)." [2 Thessalonians 2:3; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]

This particular verse is incredibly important, for it reveals the sequence of events leading to the appearance of Antichrist: 1). Great Apostasy -- falling away from key traditional doctrines; 2). Appearance of Antichrist. Truly, Liberal, Charismatic, and Evangelical leaders who are continually steering their flocks away from traditional Biblical doctrine are literally opening the door to Antichrist!

Just as the term, "Antichrist" means "opposing Christ in the guise of Christ" [Amplified Bible Commentary], so the current Apostate Christian leadership is steering their flocks directly into the arms of Antichrist by pretending to be Christian.


Remember, Satan is the master deceiver who started a rebellion in the very heart of the Heavenly Temple and in the center of the angelic domain. Ezekiel paints a breathtaking picture of this beautiful creature that was created by Jehovah God and how his dwelling in the Heavenly domain was glorious until he sinned. Read this story carefully.
The Perfections of Lucifer Prior To His Fall

"Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee ...

God Curses Lucifer

"... they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee." [Ezek 28:12-18]
After this Biblical picture of absolute corruption, no one can doubt the depths of degradation of which Satan is capable. This great rebellion did not take place in some dark region of the sin-cursed earth; it took place in the very temple of God. Satan showed that he was capable of fomenting a rebellion so breathtaking that one third of God's angels joined Lucifer's revolt. The Holy Ghost inspired the prophet Ezekiel to say of Satan, "Thou sealest up the sum, fuIl of wisdom, and perfect in beauty." No, my dear fiend, Satan does not look like a dragon, that is his assigned symbol; he can look absolutely perfect in his beauty [2 Corinthians 11:14b]. His great skill at presenting himself so as to delude other humans is dramatically described by, Ezekiel, "iniquity was found in thee ". The Spirit clearly describes this merchandise of Satan as having "filled the midst of thee (Satan) with violence".

Satan Wants To Be God Above All Else
Satan's entire rebellion appears to have begun with the desire to replace God. That was his beginning of sin. He said "I will" five times as recorded by Isaiah.

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." [Isaiah 14:12-15]

Because of man's continuous sins and rebellion against God, Satan is going to be allowed his last great act of masquerading the Father's likeness. Satan is the master at trying to imitate the Heavenly Father. Every false religion is established on some premise of truth, and/or false promises covered over with words. That sound Biblical. These religions usually started with some lofty experience or with some great expression of compassion, but quickly descended to just another wilderness of despair. Satan is hopelessly the master of failure and sorrows. Ezekiel said, 'Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine Iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee." (Ezekiel 28;l8).

Yet, with all of Satan's failures he will not give up until he is judged after this great display of his final attempt to deceive the peoples of the world so as to receive their worship.

A God That Unholy Men Can Worship

Satan is the only god that unholy men can worship. Every expression of pagan religions, cults, or any distorted form of Christianity is a religion of Satan. Whatever the god of these religions may be called, the spiritual force supporting that god is Satan. When men debauch the Christian faith and preach another gospel, the true personality behind the form is Satan. No wonder Jesus said, "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." (Matthew 24:5).
Satan has no qualms at presenting himself in the name of Jesus. That is probably his greatest act of masquerading when he can hide in the "greatest and sweetest" name of all human existence. I believe this end time deception must be done under the umbrella of the name of Jesus. Satan will present himself as God, but he will hide in the process behind a hybrid form of what will be called Biblical Christianity. The Apostle John was shown this deception and recorded it beautifully in the Book of Revelation. No wonder Satan hates the Book of Revelation and has caused a multitude of preachers to reject, deny, or distort this final revelation of Holy Scripture.
Before we look at Satan's "Unholy Trinity" that he will masquerade before the world, let me list four major reasons men reject the Holy Bible as final and Absolute revelation. Every form of deception will begin with one or more of these rejections.
1. The world hates the cross of Jesus Christ. The cross is the opposite of casual, self-centered living; flesh is always uncomfortable with the cross.
2. The world hates a narrow Christianity that claims exclusiveness. All expressions of "faith" must be honored equally today.
3. The world hates a book that is perfect and uncompromising. They want a Bible that the scholars can doctor or one with whom they can "pick and choose" the doctrines that are palatable to the individual sampling today's religious "buffet" table.
4. The world hates holiness. They want a religion that does not require separation from the profane and the worldly.
God the Father is going to give them what they want --- "for a short season of seven years"
Do not question for a moment that our Great God is sovereign. Satan will be allowed his final expose' of delusion or masquerade, but it is God the Father that gives him this rope on which to hang himself. No one painted a more breathtaking picture of Satan's last hurrah than Zechariah Even as this prophet spelled out the end times, he stated clearly as he quoted His Father:

"I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the limber thereof and the stones thereof." (Zechariah 5:4).
The Heavenly Father is going to allow Satan to masquerade his "unholy trinity" for seven full years. This act by Lucifer will be similar to his rebellion that occurred in Heaven. Nothing that Satan has ever produced will be more deceiving than what he is now planning. It will be his closest act to the picture we saw in Ezekiel 28. Satan will present himself as God. He will produce his own "false christ" and his own 'false spirit"; it will be such a perfect reproduction of the true trinity that the world will rush in amazement after the dragon. As you consider this thought, let us read II Corinthians for a picture of Satan's power to transform himself and his false apostles and prophets.

"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 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-I 5).
This passage succinctly presents breathtaking truth. It gives a picture of how Satan can magically metamorphose himself and his preachers into a distorted view, intending to deceive. Here is the meaning of the phrase" transforming themselves" (It is one word in the original Greek): "to transfigure or disguise." (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. Greek Dictionary Of The New Testament, p.47.)
Do not underestimate the power of Satan to present himself as an angel of light or even as "God Himself." As the Father allows Satan his final masquerade, the world will be swept off its feet just like one-third of the angels were deceived thousands of years ago!

Satan And His Unholy Trinity
The world wants a "god" that all unholy men can unite to worship -- based upon what they have in common -- and God will allow Satan to give it to them! Satan has already begun this master plan and the groundwork is progressing both well and rapidly. The key word in most theological thought today is "tolerant" or "unity". Coupled with the attitude of tolerance and unity is a new interpretation of many wonderful Biblical truths. There is a major shift to these false theological ideas gripping the church world. This is Satan's groundwork in preparing the church for his schemes. [Read NEWS1822b for full explanation on the false uniting based upon John 17]

He Will Be Cast Down To The Earth
The angels of God will cast Satan out of the heavens! Let us read several verses from this graphic picture of war in heaven.
"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night ... Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time ... And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." [ Rev 12:7-10, 12, 17]
This incredible picture depicts Satan angry beyond measure, whereupon he immediately plans war against the remnant of the sun-clothed woman's seed, which are then identified. They are those people left on the earth that now "keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" (Revelation 12:17).
The very next verse reveals Satan's immediate acts. A beast rises up out of the sea (representative of the Gentile nations) -- Antichrist. The appearance of this beast is clearly and directly connected to the dragon himself. Satan is now preparing his masquerade. He cannot present himself to the world as the dragon and convince the world to worship him. He must have a benevolent face that the world will find palatable. All the peoples of the world and all major religions are looking for a christ, an enlightened one, a great messiah, a charismatic leader. Satan must have his christ -- his "son" -- even as God the Father sent His only begotten Son into the world.

Satan Presents His False Christ To The World
Satan is going to have his false trinity as his final act of masquerade. He must begin by presenting the false christ to the world. Watch the Holy Scripture describe Satan's master stroke. John saw this vision of revelation as he apparently stood on the seashore from his isle of exile. He was actually standing on the Mediterranean seashore. Here are his words. Read them carefully!

"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy ... and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority." [Rev 13:1-2]
These prophecies tell us that Satan empowers Antichrist, giving him great power and authority! This authority is from Satan, just as the prophecy says; yet, Antichrist is immediately given more authority, from the human rulers of the earth who have been "acting in harmony" to prepare the world so Antichrist can arise. Listen:

"For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His own purpose by acting in harmony in surrendering their royal power and authority to the beast, until the prophetic words (intentions and promises) of God shall be fulfilled." [Revelation 17:17; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]

These Scriptures clearly states that the dragon (Satan) gives this beast (beast in only his character, not his appearance) his power, his seat, and his great authority. The beast -- the Antichrist -- is a clear production of the devil. Antichrist is Satan's partner and will be his identification to the world as a counterfeit replica of what Jesus Christ was to His Father. We see the Father as the express image seen in the Son and the brightness of His glory. (Hebrews 1:2-3). Satan is going to masquerade this same concept as part of his deception.

As we see the Antichrist 'wounded to death" and "his deadly wound is healed", we are witnessing the act Satan will accomplish to make the Antichrist a world marvel and wonder. The Scripture gives little detail of how this will occur. It will undoubtedly be a marvelous miracle and may be a kind of replication of the crucifixion and resurrection. When you couple this concept with the Protestant/Charismatic return to the Catholic Mass, [Read NEWS1824b for full details] this picture become striking; the world may see an appearance of this false christ masquerading as Jesus Christ. Then he may present a reproduction, a graphic drama of death and resurrection where men literally handle and consume the bread and the wine as Catholics do daily in their "Mass".
Please note that this prophecy states that "all the world wondered after the beast." The beast or Antichrist is careful to give glory to the dragon because verse four states, "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast." These Scriptures clearly state that the world wondered after the Antichrist, and worshipped the devil -- the anti-god. Satan's schemes to this point have been gloriously successful. He has hidden himself behind this false christ and allowed the false christ, with all of his facade of charismatic glory, to conceal the real face of Satan. The world has gone insane after this false expression of true Christianity. This is a hybrid form of the church that the world has come to love, and because they left the "love of truth", the deceiver is finally weaving his masterpiece.

But it does not end there, Satan has more.

Satan Presents His "False Anointing" Or "False Spirit" Through His False Prophet, Second Member of Pagan Trinity
Once Satan has reproduced a masquerade of the Lord Jesus Christ, he then proceeds to do the same with the truth of the Holy Spirit. Please remember we are simply watching the final form of this deception, slick counterfeit that has already begun. The foundation of deception began with the apostasy of truth. The great apostasy has affected the liberal churches for at least 100 plus years, but the Evangelical Pentecostal/Charismatic apostasy is in its third decade. Presently, it is overshadowing almost everything the church as a whole represents and appears to be very close to its crescendo.
Let us watch the the Apostle John, share the enfolding drama as it was shown him.

"Then I saw another beast rising up out of the land [itself]; he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke (roared) like a dragon. [Read NEWS1052 to see how this False Prophet will be the Roman Catholic Pope]. He exerts all the power and right of control of the former beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell upon it to exalt and deify the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed, and to worship him. He performs great signs (startling miracles), even making fire fall from the sky to the earth in men's sight. And because of the signs (miracles) which he is allowed to perform in the presence of the [first] beast, he deceives those who inhabit the earth, commanding them to erect a statue (an image) in the likeness of the beast who was wounded by the [small] sword and still lived. And he is permitted [also] to impart the breath of life into the beast's image, so that the statue of the beast could actually talk and cause to be put to death those who would not bow down and worship the image of the beast." (Revelation 13:11-14; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary)
A second beast now appears from Satan's masquerade; this person -- the False Prophet -- is a product of Satan's false spirit of an equally false anointing. He is said to be like a "lamb with two horns", appearing pious, humble, but arrogantly vicious in his heart of hearts. What a picture of false anointing! This very type is now being acted out by a multitude of 'New Wave" leaders. They are humble when you agree with them, but become immediately vicious when you disagree. This false anointing falls upon people like a rock, causing them to act in ways that outwardly express the nature of the dragon. Instead of beautiful worship in ecstasy of Calvary and the Holy Spirit, it is an anointing more like an army preparing for slaughter. In fact, they admit as much and call themselves "Joel's Army."
Please note that this "anti-spirit' exercises "all the power of The first beast." This again is the masquerade. This false anointing is doing for the false christ what the Holy Spirit has done for Jesus Christ. It is all a replica of the Trinity of God. This False Prophet even causes people to worship Antichrist, not himself. Notice he magnifies the "deadly wound" that the false christ has experienced and uses that dramatic event to induce the worship of this first beast.
Then, the False Prophet begins his masquerade of the supernatural. He is not supernatural, he only channels powerful paranormal powers, masquerading as a great "Christian" prophet. He does great wonders and miracles and deceives all the earth. He even gives power to an image of the Antichrist and requires everyone to worship him. It is not the Antichrist that requires the world to take the mark of the beast, but the False Prophet, spreading his "false anointing" over all the peoples of the earth.

That understanding should arrest all of your attention. While the world is identifying the mark that may indeed use the bio-chip or some infrared mark on the skin, they are paying little attention to the false anointing that is preparing men for the real mark. I believe there will be a mark in/on the forehead in/or the right hand, but I believe that the much deeper significance is the religious preparation going on right now, to worship Satan as God. The mark will reflect a heart commitment to identify with the "false trinity" and to worship Satan.
There will be a baptism, an initiation of religious nature, that will accompany the actual mark. In fact, the False Prophet shall prepare the peoples of the world for a global Luciferian Initiation that will be a perfect copy of the initiation that a new member goes through in a Satanic coven. Every person on earth will be told that he/she will be "initiated" into the kingdom called the New World Order. Once each person has repeated the Satanic oath, they will be required to take the Mark of the Beast as a symbol of his/her loyalty to Antichrist. Each person who refuses to take the oath and the Mark will be immediately beheaded. No one will be forced to take this Mark because Satan wants voluntary worship. This is the occult plan, and it completely squares with prophecy. Thus is Tim LaHaye totally wrong when he depicts that Chang was forced to take the Mark ["God's Wrath On Left Behind", Lisa Ruby, p. 42]

When we try to identify what the mark might be, we are acting ahead of Cod's revelation. However, the implantable human chip now being marketed by Digital Angel seems to have all the requirements of the Mark given in Revelation 13:16-18.

The False Trinity
This scenario will be the master work of the fallen prince of darkness. He has produced many dark moments, but this will eclipse them all, perhaps greater than even his original rebellion before the throne of God. The kings of earth will gladly sell their souls to him as they cooperate to work out the changes on earth needed to produce him. The church that has rejected infallible truth will joyously cling to his false Pentecost and its fleshly byproducts. The remnant church never expected, nor desired, the world's favor, but the present church sees success and pomp as the final sign of "success" and is willing to cloud truth for a temporary kingdom. Men have longed for a "god" that the unholy can worship and serve.
As you study church history, it is clear that every deception and apostasy in the church had its roots in the search for a "god" where unholy men could stop and worship. The Father has compassionately called His church back from the multitudes of backsliding. He has consistently wooed a reluctant church to His glorious altar and forgiven our many errors of the way.
Finally, the Father will allow Satan to give the world and the Apostate Church what it has so arrogantly sought. Satan will give the world a God that unholy men can abandon themselves to serve. This false god will have unrestrained power for a limited time to present his false trinity to a gullible, undiscerning world.

Where Will All This False Anointing and False Religious Doctrine Lead?
This appearance of an Apostate Church rushing after manifestations that are provably Satanic -- plus the denial of the faith of so many Evangelical churches, plus the Liberalism of Mainstream Christian churches -- reveal an ugly, roiling river of Apostasy so deep and wide as to be unbelievable. We believe that this unparalleled Apostasy has reached the point where Antichrist can arise.

With so many other prophecies pointing in the same direction, we feel strongly that, if you listen carefully with the ears of the spiritually discerning, you can hear the hoofbeats of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.

Jesus took me through many visual learning experiences.

http://www.near-death.com/forum/nde/001/33.html


The following is another.

Jesus took me to this great room filled with the masses. As Jesus and I stood there, as if we were spirits looking through the veil, Jesus was also on that Other Side of the veil with these masses (this could lead some to believe he is omnipresent, rather virtual reality, in its perfect form!) Everyone in the room knew he was about to honor someone in this room. I saw at the front of these masses many preachers & evangelists, all being very pleased with the "work" that they had done on Earth for God. Jesus walked right past them all to their shock. He wandered through the crowds way to the back. There he stopped by an old woman. You could hear the buzz. "What's he doing? Who is this woman?" No one knew who she was. The woman herself was suddenly understanding that he was by her and not someone close to her.

She said, "Oh surely not me Lord?"

He placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "You did exactly what I told you to do. You did not do what man told you or, what you thought you 'should' do. But you did the very works that you were on Earth to do -- nothing more -- which would crowd out what you were here to do. These works had great effect as a result. Without them many other planned works would be jammed."

I'm not saying that this actual event takes place on the Other Side. This was a learning tool for me like the parables. I can forego the public honoring. That without a doubt. My sole desire is to do only what I am here to do and that by love. If it is only one word, so be it. The least is the greatest. This "greatest" is not always publicly known. But very much the simplicity of doing what seems to man to be the least, yet one is greatly fulfilled by fulfilling this perfect plan that the Father has pre-ordained for us. Small acts, if led from obedience to God, are involved in a ripple effect. Again, "My word does not go out void." This would not exempt great scaled works either. But all are as nothing if manmade in any shape or form. Love is central to this all. We all must learn to be "abased" and also to "abound" Perhaps I am also stuck on the small things and I must allow my vision to broaden.

Is there Idolatry in the Catholic Church?

Is there Idolatry in the Catholic Church?


Did you know that the Roman Catholic Church have their own version of the Ten Commandments, and not only changed the fourth Commandment, which is why most Churches now worship on Sunday, but they also deleted the second Commandment on idolatry? For detailed information see the Roman Catholic Version of the Ten Commandments. Can man change the Ten Commandments of God that define what sin is? (1 John 3:4) Not a chance! If God really allowed this, then man could abolish all the Ten Commandments and then we would have no need for a Saviour! Despite this, many Roman Catholics are very quick to tell us that their Church does have the authority to change the law of God and so their change of the Sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday was allowed. Note the following blasphemous quote from the Catholic Church that makes God obsolete.

“The Pope is of great authority and power, that he is able to modify, declare, or interpret even divine laws. The Pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man, but of God, and he acts as vicegerent of God upon earth...” — Lucius Ferraris, in “Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, Juridica, Moralis, Theologica, Ascetica, Polemica, Rubristica, Historica”, Volume V, article on “Papa, Article II”, titled “Concerning the extent of Papal dignity, authority, or dominion and infallibility”, #30, published in Petit-Montrouge (Paris) by J. P. Migne, 1858 edition.

If this were really possible then the Papal Church should have no problem in changing any of the Ten Commandments to whatever they want and whenever they want and just exhorting that they had the authority. I would have expected Catholics to have said the same thing in regards to the second Commandment but when it comes to idolatry, instead of stating they deleted the second Commandment and they were allowed to do this, some Catholics tend to get upset and say that there is no idolatry in the Catholic Church. Like most people, it seems easy to sweep the fourth Commandment under the carpet but not so easy when it comes to something like idolatry.

When it comes to the fourth Commandment, there seems to be 3 groups. Group 1 knows the truth and keep all Ten Commandments and state that the fourth Commandment is a blessing and their favourite day of the week. (Isaiah 58:13-14) Group 2, which is comprised of most Churches have one of a million and one different excuses. Group 3 is the Catholic Church and they have only one excuse. We can change the law of God. The crazy thing is that group 2 with all their different excuses very rarely know that group 3 changed the Commandment and is why they worship on Sunday and some are even denying this truth on their web sites just to avoid obedience to this one Commandment. Satan really has this one all wrapped up and claps his hands with glee with the victory he has achieved over this one very special Commandment that is not just about resting but defines who we worship and give our allegiance to. What did Jesus say about keeping the traditions of man in place of His Ten Commandment law?

Mark 7:6-9 “Jesus answered them, “How right Isaiah was when he prophesied about you! You are hypocrites, just as he wrote: 'These people, says God, honor me with their words, but their heart is really far away from me. It is no use for them to worship me, because they teach human rules as though they were my laws!' “You put aside God's command and obey human teachings.” And Jesus continued, “You have a clever way of rejecting God's law in order to uphold your own teaching.”

So how do you argue with something as absurd as we can change the Ten Commandments? At least there seems to be more conviction with some Roman Catholics and most other denominations when it comes to the other nine Commandments such as idolatry. Despite what many Catholics believe, there is more idolatry in the Roman Catholic Church than one could even begin to imagine. It is possible that in some cases this may not be apparent in ones own Church but it does exist in a huge way in the Papal Catholic system and is especially obvious in South America and in Rome. For example, the Catholic Church originally changed the Sabbath to Sunday in favour of Sun Worship as the Catholic Church was entrenched in Sun Worship especially in the early days. Another such example, as paganism was brought into the Catholic Church the pagan statues had to be given Christian names, eg: the Statue of St Peter in St Peters Cathedral was originally the statue of the pagan god Jupiter. This statue has had its foot kissed away and replaced because of the multitude of Catholics that have bowed down to this statue and kissed its foot. There can be no other name for this other than idolatry, especially when this was originally a pagan god. There are many more such examples that could be given of where the Catholic Church is involved in worshiping other gods. Many people don't realise that the biggest sun dial in the world is the eight-rayed sun wheel, which was symbolic of the god Ishtar and is located in St Peters Square in the Vatican seen in the picture to the left.

Some dispute that Church leaders incorporated pagan religious practices from Babylon into the Catholic Church but even Catholic historians admit it. Cardinal Newman in his Development of Christian Doctrine, pages 372, 373 says that they incorporated many pagan religious practices into the Church. He claims that the Church sanctified them and that made it safe to bring these practices into the Church. The Catholic Council of Trent also declared that: “It is lawful to have images in the Church and to give honour and worship to them ... Images are put in Churches that they may be worshipped.”

The Oxford dictionary defines an idol as: “An image used as an object of worship. A person or thing that is the object of excessive devotion.” If you hail Mary, then you are committing IDOLATRY. If you line the streets with millions of others to lay eyes on a dead Pope as with John Paul II, then you are committing IDOLATRY.

So an Idolater is a devoted admirer of idols but what does the Bible say about images and idols?

1. Exodus 20:4-5
“Thou shalt not MAKE unto thee ANY graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not BOW DOWN thyself to them Nor SERVE them.”

Do Catholics MAKE graven images? Yes.
Do Catholics KNEEL down to statues of Mary or Jesus? Yes.
Do Catholics SERVE Mary? Yes, as in “Legion of Mary.”
Do Catholics BOW DOWN and kiss the foot of the pagan god Jupiter which was renamed St Peter? Yes.

2. Leviticus 26:1
“You shall make you NO IDOLS nor GRAVEN IMAGE. Neither rear you up a STANDING IMAGE. Neither shall ye set up any IMAGE OF STONE in your land to bow down unto it.”

Do Catholics rear up STANDING IMAGES? Yes.
Do Catholics set up any IMAGE OF STONE? Yes.

3. Deuteronomy 4:16
“Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and MAKE you a GRAVEN IMAGE, the similitude of ANY FIGURE, the likeness of MALE or FEMALE.”

Do Catholics make graven images of MALE or FEMALE? Yes. Mary is a female. Jesus and the apostles are males.

4. Deuteronomy 16:22
“Neither shalt thou SET thee UP ANY IMAGE: which the Lord thy God HATES.”

Do Catholics SET UP ANY IMAGES? Yes.
Does God HATE IMAGES? Yes.

5. 1 Thessalonians 1:9
“How ye turned to God FROM IDOLS to serve the living and true God.”

Did the early Christians turn FROM IDOLS? Yes.

6. Deuteronomy 27:15
“CURSED be the man that MAKES ANY GRAVEN or MOLTEN IMAGE, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place.”

Does God put a curse on any person that makes any image? Yes.
Why does God call an image an ABOMINATION? Because He hates it.

7. The early Christians had NO IMAGES
Early Christian writers such as Irenaeus, Clement, Cyprian, Athanasius and Jerome wrote strongly AGAINST images, statues and any manner of prayer or veneration regarding them. The Council of Constantinople in 381 A.D. voted unanimously to remove all images from the Churches.

8. The Catholic Church removes the second Commandment against MAKING graven images from the list of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:1-17. This presents them with the problem of only having 9 Commandments. They resolve this problem by splitting Commandment number 10 into 9 and 10. That is: 9. You shall not covet your neighbour's wife. 10. You shall not covet your neighbour's goods. The following is seen in the book “A brief summary of the Ten Commandments” by the Daughters of St. Paul, p.12, 13:

WHAT ARE THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD?
The Commandments of God are these ten:
“I am the Lord your God:
1. You shall not have strange Gods before me.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
3. Remember to keep holy the Lord's day.
4. Honor your father and your mother.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
7. You shall not steal.
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
9. You shall not covet your neighbour's wife.
10. You shall not covet your neighbour's goods.” Exodus 20:1-17

The number Two Commandment should be “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.” Exodus 20:4. Check your Catechism to see if they have left it out.

Question: Why do you think they left it out?

9. Every Catholic institution has images of Mary, Jesus and male and female figures. An example of this are two statues at the French Papal Palace of Avignon, one of Jesus about 20 metres above ground level, and the other is an enormous statue of Mary, much larger, grander and higher up than that of Jesus. This gives the greater honour to Mary than Jesus. It also clearly breaks the second Commandment forbidding making images of things in heaven.

Who do we believe, the Word of God or the Catholic Church? “We ought to obey God, rather than men.” Acts 5:29

Our humble apologies to all Roman Catholics but genuine love demands preaching of Bible truth so that no honest person will be deceived for eternity is at stake. While identifying the Roman Catholic Church as Mystery Babylon, we hasten to remind all sincere Christians that many of Christ's true followers are still members of this Church. They are unaware of the deception under which they worship. The Saviour died for them as well as people of all other faiths. The present is surely the time for love to be expressed in sincere action as these precious saints are called out of apostasy into the light of God's saving truth.

When Israel committed spiritual adultery, God called His Church a “WHORISH WOMAN”, a “HARLOT” and a “WHORE” and accused her of “ADULTERY” and “FORNICATION.” See Ezekiel 16:26-32, Jeremiah 3:1-25. The Catholic Church is in fact guilty of much worse than Israel as you will soon see from the passage below from our Lord and Saviour Himself. In a recent address to the nations, Pope Benedict caused a major uproar among many Churches as he referred to the Catholic Church as being the “MOTHER” Church and called for all the daughter Churches to come back to HER. Many Churches today are called daughter Churches because they originally came from the Catholic Church. Unfortunately, many of these daughter Churches have also ignorantly inherited her various false doctrines and this is why SHE is called the “MOTHER OF HARLOTS” and is Mystery Babylon. Whether you believe that the Roman Catholic Church is guilty of idolatry or not, the fact is that there can be no doubt on the truth of the passage below and God says the Catholic Church is guilty of idolatry and much worse. There is no mistaking that symbolically a woman represents a Church in the Bible as the Church is the bride of Christ as even the Catholic Church knows and there is only one Church that matches these criteria such as these colours and has the blood of millions on her hands.

Revelation 17:1-6 “I will show unto you the judgment of the great whore [God calls an idolatrous Church a HARLOT and a WHORE and guilty of adultery and fornication:Ezekiel 16:26-32, Jeremiah 3:1-25] that sitteth upon many waters [symbolic of how literal Babylon was built over water:Revelation 17:15]: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication [false doctrines]. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman [Church:Scriptures] sit upon a scarlet [Sin:Isaiah 1:18 sinful because she changed God's law that defines sin] coloured beast [Kingdom:Daniel 7:17; 7:23], full of names of blasphemy [she has many blasphemous practices], having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman [Church] was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold [official Vatican colours, OT Priest robes ALSO had blue which represents God's law:Exodus 28:4-6; Numbers 15:38-40] and precious stones and pearls, [Vatican is filthy rich] having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, [very few understand what originated from this mystery Babylonian religion and where many of the traditions of the Catholic religion really started] BABYLON [God calls her Babylon because her paganism that has affected His true Church originated from literal Babylon] THE GREAT, THE MOTHER [Catholic Church calls herself the Mother Church] OF HARLOTS [many Churches came from her and ignorantly took on her pagan idolatrous practices] AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH [she is guilty of the most abominable crimes]. 6 And I saw the woman [Church] drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: [The Catholic Church murdered and tortured over 68,000,000 Christian saints].”

See 666 number of the beast or the mark of the beast and the origins of 666 to find more on why God calls the Catholic Church Babylon and to discover how so much idolatry ended up in the Catholic Church. See also paganism in the Catholic Church and the origin of Babylon and sun worship. Below are a few more quotes that also leave no doubt that the Papal Catholic Church has taken on many pagan traditions from the mystery Babylonian religion.

“The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church.” — An Essay on The Development of the Christian Doctrine John Henry “Cardinal Newman” p.373.

“It has often been charged… that Catholicism is overlaid with many pagan incrustations. Catholicism is ready to accept that accusation and even to make it her boast… the great god Pan is not really dead, he is baptized” — The Story of Catholicism p 37.

“It is interesting to note how often our Church has availed herself of practices which were in common use among pagans … Thus it is true, in a certain sense, that some Catholic rites and ceremonies are a reproduction of those of pagan creeds…” — (The Externals of the Catholic Church, Her Government, Ceremonies, Festivals, Sacramentals and Devotions, by John F. Sullivan, p 156, published by P.J. Kennedy, NY, 1942).

Pope Benedict has reportedly said condom use is ok,






Pope Benedict has reportedly said condom use is ok, in certain circumstances. News of the Pope talking about the use of condoms is a hot Internet topic.

Tuesday the book the Light of the World,will be released. The book is an interview with journalist Peter Seewald and in it the Pope talks about condom use and the prevention of the spread of HIV.

The Vatican Newspaper released some excerpts Saturday, under the topic of sexuality it states, "Concentrate on condom means trivializing sexuality, and this trivialization is precisely the reason why so many dangerous and many people do not see sexuality as an expression of their love, but only a sort of drugs that are administered by itself. So the fight against the trivialization of sexuality is part of a great effort to ensure that sexuality is perceived and can exert its positive effect on the human being in its entirety."

There may be individual cases warranted, such as when a prostitute using a condom, and this may be the first step toward a moralization, a primary responsibility to develop a new awareness of the fact that not everything is permitted and which can not be do everything you want. However, this is not the proper way to overcome the infection of HIV. You really need a humanization of sexuality."

On the topic of the media and preist sex abuse the Vatican released this excerpt, "It was evident that the action of the media was not only driven by the pure pursuit of truth, but there was also a pleasure to put to shame the Church and, if possible, to discredit it. And yet it was necessary to make it clear that: sin so that it is to uncover the truth, we must be grateful. The truth, combined with a love properly understood, is the number one value. And then the media could not give these reports in the Church itself if it were not for evil. Just because the evil was inside the church, others have been able to turn against her."

paedophilia was theorised as something fully in conformity with man and even with children," the Pope said.





Posted on: December 28, 2010 8:53 AM, by PZ Myers

The Pope had a Christmas message for the world this year: we should forgive Catholic priests for raping children because everyone else was doing it. He invented a peculiar history that bears no resemblance to the late 20th century I lived in.

"In the 1970s, paedophilia was theorised as something fully in conformity with man and even with children," the Pope said.

"It was maintained — even within the realm of Catholic theology — that there is no such thing as evil in itself or good in itself. There is only a 'better than' and a 'worse than'. Nothing is good or bad in itself."

The Pope said abuse revelations in 2010 reached "an unimaginable dimension" which brought "humiliation" on the Church.

I grew up in the 1970s. Some of you did, too. Does anyone remember anyone influential saying that child-rape was a reasonable practice? How about anyone on the fringe making vague suggestions that children can give permission to participate in sexual activity? I don't know of any substantial culture at that time that would have endorsed such a thing; NAMBLA was little more than a freakish collection of perverts who got far more attention than their numbers warranted. If there was anything that was universally reviled, it was the creepy pedophile.

So here's the Pope pretending that they were living in an environment that somehow condoned child abuse, so the priesthood somehow went along with it? Madness.

I also am not impressed by his regret that the church was humiliated. That's not an appropriate response at all: church members were the perpetrators of the crime, and the Pope still can't seem to empathize with the victims…you know, the kids. They always seem to get forgotten when the pontiff pontificates on the abuses of his church.

The other night, I saw this ghastly little documentary called Hell House, about fundagelical nutcases who put on these elaborate morality plays around Halloween, to scare people into Christianity. They have this same moral blindness. I was struck by all the horrible little scenarios they put on: woman goes to rave, is given date-rape drug and is raped; woman gets pregnant, has abortion, bleeds to death; etc., etc., etc. In every case I was struck by the fact that it is the victim who suffers and is abused and dies, and who is then sent to hell for eternal punishment because she doesn't believe in Jesus. I was expecting in these cases to see them end in an orgy of punishment for the drug-dealer, the rapist, the abortionist (all played by men, by the way), but no…they all get forgotten in the denouement, their behavior isn't damned, it's all about the victim being punished for her victimization. That's religion for you.

Anyway, after listening to this ethical rapscallion invent fantasy stories to justify the abuse of innocents, the BBC, in a fit of moral blindness themselves, offered him a radio spot to blather on some more. What were they thinking? The good news, though, is that he didn't flaunt his moral turpitude this time. Instead, he highlighted the intellectual vacuity of the church, by talking about the nonsense of their beliefs.

He added that God "often surprises us" in the way he fulfils his promises.

"The child that was born in Bethlehem did indeed bring liberation, but not only for the people of that time and place — he was to be the saviour of all people throughout the world and throughout history."

It was not a political liberation, achieved through military means, he added, but rather "Christ destroyed death for ever and restored life by means of his shameful death on the cross".

I just wish people could see through the platitudes and realize that these oft-repeated claims make no freakin' sense. A guy getting killed 2000 years ago did not end death, you may have noticed, a shameful death is not turned into a point of pride by waving corpses-on-a-stick in our faces, and Christianity has been an agent of ignorance and servility for millennia now, never a cause for liberation.

Shame on the BBC for giving this flabby-brained antique a megaphone and a spot on the airwaves.
