First let me say how much I AM is at the doors is against the Catholic belief system, and just about everything they stand for. They are much worse than the Pharisee’s in Jesus’ time.
The Roman Catholic church was founded around 325 AD. They taught (falsely), and still do, that the Bishops of the church were “spiritual successors” to the original 12 apostles, in particular the Apostle Peter, and that they had the right to discern true or false doctrine. At that time, they changed many of the doctrines taught in the Bible, making Mary a deity, empowering the “church” as your salvation instead of Jesus Christ being the one and only way to salvation, changed the baptism taught by Jesus and His apostles, including Peter, and indoctrinated many false concepts. They even say that the mother of Jesus is the only way whereby you may receive grace. It’s true that Mary was blessed to carry and give birth to Jesus, but she was simply a Jewish woman, not a God. They made it a crime punishable by death to attempt to actually read the bible for yourself and/or contradict the Roman Catholic church during the Dark Ages, and they have killed an estimated 68 million Christians over the years for refusing to bow to the false doctrine of the Roman Catholic church.
According to the Catholic church you must do all of the following in order to receive salvation:
Confess your sins to a Roman Catholic priest.
“Receive” all appropriate Roman Catholic sacraments.
Believe that Grace comes only via Rome’s sacraments, and only through Mary.
Buy or earn as many indulgences as possible so as to avoid Purgatory.
Believe that Grace can only be distributed to you by Mary.
Attend the Roman Catholic Mass on all Sundays and holy days.
Obey all of Rome’s rules (i.e., precepts of the Church).
Be a member of the Roman Catholic Church.
Submit yourself to the Pope.
The bible teaches that you must believe in Jesus and obey the Gospel for salvation, and that it’s by the grace of God, not Mary or Rome, that we are saved. All of the above only make you subservient to the Roman Catholic church and do not ensure your place with God at all.
VERSAILLES: A priest in an ultra-conservative Catholic sect has been charged with rape and torture for acts allegedly committed during exorcisms involving three school teachers.
Verssailles prosecutor Vincent Lesclous told AFP the 40-year-old priest with the Society of Saint Pius X, whose identity has not been released to protect the victims, was charged on Wednesday and is being held without bail.
He is facing charges of aggravated rape, torture and “committing barbarous acts” for the alleged assaults on three teachers at a private religious school in the western suburbs of Paris.
The prosecutor refused to provide further details, but newspaper Le Parisien reported Thursday that the assaults took place in the autumn of 2010 at the Notre-Dame de la Sablonniere school run by the sect.
It alleged he had first raped one teacher during an exorcism to purge her of the “evil” from a previous sexual assault.
He then used his “spiritual influence” to convince two other female teachers to undergo similar exorcisms, Le Parisien said.
It said the victims had claimed that acts of torture had been committed using a broom, a toothbrush and scissors during the ceremonies.
Questioned by police, the priest claimed no assaults had been committed, saying he had only “simulated” sexual acts.
With 600,000 followers in 62 countries, the group founded in 1970 by French bishop Marcel Lefebvre has been dogged by accusations of anti-Semitism and far-right leanings. Lefebvre was ex-communicated in 1988 and died in 1991.
Here’s more lies from the Pope of the whore of Babylon, saying pretty much that anyone can go to heaven whether you believe Jesus Christ is Lord or not. God’s Word tells us there is only one way to heaven and only one name given under heaven among men whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12) and that is Jesus Christ. Catholicism is no where near true Christianity even though they say they are Christian. It is a false teaching in the first place. Below is an article from the independent UK:
In comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, Pope Francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of La Repubblicanewspaper, Eugenio Scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by God if they followed their consciences.
Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: “You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith. I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.
“Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience.”
Robert Mickens, the Vatican correspondent for the Catholic journal The Tablet, said the pontiff’s comments were further evidence of his attempts to shake off the Catholic Church’s fusty image, reinforced by his extremely conservative predecessor Benedict XVI. “Francis is a still a conservative,” said Mr Mickens. “But what this is all about is him seeking to have a more meaningful dialogue with the world.”
In a welcoming response to the letter, Mr Scalfari said the Pope’s comments were “further evidence of his ability and desire to overcome barriers in dialogue with all”.
In July, Francis signaled a more progressive attitude on sexuality, asking: “If someone is gay and is looking for the Lord, who am I to judge him?”
SACRAMENTO, CA – An unusual outburst in a combined 5th and 6th grade classroom at John Sloat Elementary School has some students and parents concerned.
6th grader Zionni Ibarra was in the class when it happened.
“I was scared,” Ibarra said. “And I was crying really bad.”
Students said a 5th grade girl started shouting she was part of the Illuminati and threatened to kill other students.
“She said she wanted to sell her soul to the devil,” Ibarra said. “And she said she’ll kill everybody.”
“Everybody just started crying because they were scared that they were going to die that day,” 6th grader Elizabeth Martinez added. Martinez was also in the class and witnessed everything.
At one point, students said she grabbed a pair of scissors.
“I seen her try to cut herself and draw blood,” 5th grader Xavier Monti explained what happened in the class. “But then she got up and tried to stab another girl a seat away from her.”
Students said she drew Illuminati symbols and wrote 666 in the bathroom. Students said her outburst went on for at least an hour, with the teacher only telling them to ignore the girl.
“He thought she was just trying to get attention,” Monti said.
Parent Antonio Farinias contacted News10 because he thinks the school should have notified him immediately.
Parents received a phone call after school Thursday, letting them know something had happened at the school.
“To not be notified all day until 6:30 at night last that was real upsetting,” Farinias explained. “Because when I picked up my kids from school they were in tears.”
“You never know what to tell your kids when they come home telling you ‘hey this happened, that happened,’ and there’s different rumors, and you’re like ‘which one do I believe? What really happened?'” parent Rebecca Fox said. “[The school district] can’t tell you what really happened, you have all these questions and worry and wonder with your kids.”
The Sacramento City Unified School District confirmed an incident happened at the school shortly before lunch Thursday, although district officials would not go into more detail.
“Authorities are investigating a disturbance inside a John Sloat Elementary School classroom [Thursday]”, said Gabe Ross, SCUSD Chief Communications Officer, in a statement emailed to News10. “The school responded immediately and all students were safe. The incident did not involve weapons and no one was physically harmed. Counseling and other resources have been made available to all John Sloat students today and will continue to be available as needed.”
The school also sent a letter home with kids Friday afternoon reiterating a similar message.
“There was a weapon involved. It was a pair of scissors,” Farinias said. “So it shocks me to see there are false statements in here knowing otherwise what happened at school yesterday.”
Some parents who spoke to News10 think the school could have done more to protect the kids in class and should have taken the girl out of class much sooner.
“They should have stopped it right away,” parent Aime Martinez said. “And not let her scare them more.”
“With all the stuff going on in school, what does it take for a child to show you something is wrong and for her to follow through with what she says she is going to do? Farinias asked.
Other parents said they think the school acted in the kids’ best interests.
“[Taking care of the issue] was more important than us being notified,” parent Mary Walters said. “Yeah, we got notified late, and I’m gonna go with that, but our children were safe, and they made sure our children were safe, and that’s what was important.”
It’s not known what caused the sudden outburst in class.
A digital illustration shows the ancient Plutonium, celebrated as the portal to the underworld in Greco-Roman mythology.
A “gate to hell” has emerged from ruins in southwestern Turkey, Italian archaeologists have announced.
Known as Pluto’s Gate — Ploutonion in Greek, Plutonium in Latin — the cave was celebrated as the portal to the underworld in Greco-Roman mythology and tradition.
Historic sources located the site in the ancient Phrygian city of Hierapolis, now called Pamukkale, and described the opening as filled with lethal mephitic vapors.
“This space is full of a vapor so misty and dense that one can scarcely see the ground. Any animal that passes inside meets instant death,” the Greek geographer Strabo (64/63 BC — about 24 AD) wrote. “I threw in sparrows and they immediately breathed their last and fell,” he added.
Announced this month at a conference on Italian archaeology in Istanbul, Turkey, the finding was made by a team led by Francesco D’Andria, professor of classic archaeology at the University of Salento.
D’Andria has conducted extensive archaeological research at the World Heritage Site of Hierapolis. Two years ago he claimed to discover there the tomb of Saint Philip, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ.
Founded around 190 B.C. by Eumenes II, King of Pergamum (197 B.C.-159 B.C.), Hierapolis was given over to Rome in 133 B.C.
The Hellenistic city grew into a flourishing Roman city, with temples, a theater and popular sacred hot springs, believed to have healing properties.
“We found the Plutonium by reconstructing the route of a thermal spring. Indeed, Pamukkale’ springs, which produce the famous white travertine terraces originate from this cave,” D’Andria told Discovery News.
Featuring a vast array of abandoned broken ruins, possibly the result of earthquakes, the site revealed more ruins once it was excavated. The archaeologists found Ionic semi columns and, on top of them, an inscription with a dedication to the deities of the underworld — Pluto and Kore.
D’Andria also found the remains of a temple, a pool and a series of steps placed above the cave — all matching the descriptions of the site in ancient sources.
“People could watch the sacred rites from these steps, but they could not get to the area near the opening. Only the priests could stand in front of the portal,” D’Andria said.
According to the archaeologist, there was a sort of touristic organization at the site. Small birds were given to pilgrims to test the deadly effects of the cave, while hallucinated priests sacrificed bulls to Pluto.
The ceremony included leading the animals into the cave, and dragging them out dead.
“We could see the cave’s lethal properties during the excavation. Several birds died as they tried to get close to the warm opening, instantly killed by the carbon dioxide fumes,” D’Andria said.
Only the eunuchs of Cybele, an ancient fertility goddess, were able to enter the hell gate without any apparent damage.
“They hold their breath as much as they can,” Strabo wrote, adding that their immunity could have been due to their “menomation,” “divine providence” or “certain physical powers that are antidotes against the vapor.”
According to D’Andria, the site was a famous destination for rites of incubation. Pilgrims took the waters in the pool near the temple, slept not too far from the cave and received visions and prophecies, in a sort of oracle of Delphi effect. Indeed, the fumes coming from the depths of Hierapoli’s phreatic groundwater produced hallucinations.
“This is an exceptional discovery as it confirms and clarifies the information we have from the ancient literary and historic sources,” Alister Filippini, a researcher in Roman history at the Universities of Palermo, Italy, and Cologne, Germany, told Discovery News.
Fully functional until the 4th century AD, and occasionally visited during the following two centuries, the site represented “an important pilgrimage destination for the last pagan intellectuals of the Late Antiquity,” Filippini said.
During the 6th century AD, the Plutonium was obliterated by the Christians. Earthquakes may have then completed the destruction.
D’Andria and his team are now working on the digital reconstruction of the site.
The outraged hosts of Fox News’ morning show on Wednesday said that public schools should just “take the religion as it is, celebrate it and move on” after one Alabama school canceled all Easter-themed events.
Last week, WHNT reported that the principal of Heritage Elementary School in Madison had instructed teachers not to have events linked to Christianity because one classroom could represent as many as six different religions.
Fox News host Gretchen Carlson on Wednesday argued that schools should be able to have the Easter Bunny and Easter eggs because “it doesn’t have anything really to do with Easter.”
“Some people say the bunny comes from paganism or is a symbol of fertility or something like that,” she explained. “Have we just gotten so deep into this political correctness that we now just can’t take the religion as it is, celebrate it and move on?”
“What better way to celebrate Christ’s resurrection than to hide eggs in your living room?” co-host Brian Kilmeade agreed.
“I don’t remember a bunny in the Bible story,” co-host Steve Doocy chimed in. “I feel sorry for those kids though they can’t say East… the e-word. Well, what if the teacher wants to talk about that big storm that’s moving up. You know, the [nor’easter]?”
“What about Easter Island?” Carlson wondered. “If they study that in geography.”
In an email, a viewer named Carol told the Fox & Friends hosts that she didn’t understand why the Easter Bunny and Easter eggs were offensive because the words “Easter” and “bunny” do not appear in the Bible.
“Ah ha!” Kilmeade exclaimed. “So the Christians’ nonsensical use of rabbits clears it for being used, using the rabbit!”
“This is how it becomes so ridiculous,” Carlson conluded. “Let’s just call it Easter and move on. Next week, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Attending the elusive Bohemian Grove retreat should be a priority for former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, News Corp executive Andrew Knight allegedly writes in an email to US Gen. Colin Powell obtained by RT.
The mysterious computer hacker known only as Guccifer has once again supplied RT with a trove of presumed personal emails in which the private correspondence between some of the world’s most influential men is put under the looking glass. The hacker’s target is once again former Secretary of State Colin Powell, and this time the discourse dives into a topic rarely discussed: the annual summer retreat at California’s Bohemian Grove.
Guccifer has previously taken credit for hacking Gen. Powell’s Facebook, compromising what are believed to be sensitive emails sent to former-President George W. Bush and even uncovering emails about last year’s Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack allegedly sent to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In the latest leaked emails sent to RT, Guccifer showcases a number of emails reportedly sent to Colin Powell’s AOL account during the last few years.
The few dozen emails forwarded to RT offer what appears on the surface to be little insight into Gen. Powell’s personal habits, but one email in particular referenced enough other well-known individuals that it couldn’t help but raise a red flag: in correspondence dated March 21, 2012, Knight asks Gen. Powell to have a few words with Mr. Blair about preparing for that year’s Bohemian Grove retreat, an annual gathering of the rich and powerful that has stayed so elusive for decades that countless documentaries and books have been written about the event — and journalists like Vanity Fair’s Alex Shoumatoff has even been arrested trying to infiltrate it.
According to the Sonoma County Free Press, the membership list of Bohemian Grove has included every Republican US president since 1923, as well as titans of the defense sector, banking tycoons and the CEOs of some of the largest corporations in the world. Spy Magazine linked the guest list with millionaires and billionaires from the likes of IBM and Bank of America, as well as leading politicians from Washington and abroad. And when Spy’s Philip Weiss snuck into the grove in 1989, he confirmed that attendees congregate at a shrine to an owl described as “40-foot-tall, moss-covered statue of stone and steel.”
Weiss adds that during the event’s middle weekend — the busiest session of the two-week gathering — he saw roughly 2,200 guests, all male, on the camp ground. Just last year, though, Powell was asked to ensure that Blair made it for that portion of the festivities.
“Might you be able gently/firmly to point out to Tony that you rank the Bohemia Middle Weekend in your diary before allowing any other duties to get in the way?!” writes Knight, a journalist who currently serves as a director of billionaire Rupert Murdoch’s multinational News Corp, in the latest leaked emails. “Lack of exposure suggests that Tony has not yet got his priorities straight.”
Also included in the email is a PDF attachment — unavailable to RT’s reporters — said to include a response of sorts from Mr. Blair to George Shultz, a longtime member of Washington’s elite that worked as secretary of state underneath US Pres. Ronald Reagan in the late 1980s while Gen. Powell held the position of national security advisor. In his own right, Shultz has been associated with the secretive Bohemian Grove group for decades.
In the leaked emails, Knight says to Powell, “I’m going to suggest the same to Henry,” likely implying that the journalist was determined to make sure Mr. Kissinger — who served as secretary of state under Pres. Nixon and Ford, and before that was national security advisor himself — was preparing to attend last year’s event.
Several sources online tie Powell, Shultz, Knight and Kissinger to Bohemian Grove, but Blair has only been long rumored to be an attendee at the annual soiree. In 2006, Blair did visit San Francisco, California — less than 100 miles away from the Grove’s gated campsite—where he dined with Shultz.
“There was speculation that Mr. Blair might even have been a guest at the male-only event, following in the footsteps of John Major and Prince Philip,” the UK’s Daily Mail reported at the time. “As it is, the Shultz party was said to have been littered with guests who had left the Grove in order to meet Mr. Blair.”
The San Francisco Chronicle also reported that summer that Prime Minister Blair was rumored to be attending the festivities, which have long become a topic of debate and discussion of conspiracy theorists, largely due to the sheer elusiveness of an event that attracts high-profile men of power with a strict embargo on admitting the media.
“Less than a mile from us there are millionaires, billionaires, people who control the world, control the central banks, build nuclear weapons. This is their summer playground,” Sonoma State University sociology professor Peter Phillips told RT in 2011. “We know for sure that Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan sat down and had conversation about who was going to run for president when and they made a deal.” The Washington Post has even reported that a planning meeting for the Manhattan Project occurred at the grove in 1942, leading eventually to the creation of the atom bomb.
Since the list of attendees is kept under lock and key, only a confirmation from Powell or Blair themselves could verify whether or not the four star general did in fact convince the prime minister to attend last year’s event.
In his email to RT, Guccifer signed with the signature, “illuminati free world.”
A Jordanian military prosecutor on Wednesday charged five university students with incitement for allegedly desecrating the Koran and engaging in “devil worship.”
“A state security court prosecutor charged the five students today with doctrinal and sectarian incitement,” a court official told AFP without elaborating.
The students face up to three years in jail if convicted, under Jordanian law.
The decision came after Human Rights Watch urged Jordan to charge or release the five students from Al Al-Bayt University in northeast Jordan detained earlier this month.
The students, who deny the accusations against them, were assaulted by a crowd of other students before their arrest on March 12, the rights watchdog said on its website.
“Jordanian authorities should release the five students and take steps to protect them from further attack,” said Eric Goldstein, deputy Middle East director at HRW.
“The authorities should hold to account anyone who joined in this witch hunt and committed acts of violence. They should not be allowed to walk free while their victims are locked up.”
Other students alleged the five ripped and burned a manuscript of the Muslim holy book and threw it in the toilet while performing a “religious ritual.”
HRW quoted their relatives as saying no evidence of criminal behaviour has been presented to the detained students.
“Authorities should also investigate reported remarks, including by a well-known Salafist sheikh, advocating the students’ deaths and prosecute anyone whose language amounted to direct incitement to murder,” it said.
Salafists are an ultra-conservative current of Sunni Islam.
These remarks “have led to other calls for the students to be killed in messages posted on Facebook… prompting fears for their safety and doubts about whether they will be able to complete their university studies in Jordan.”
The search for dozens of missing dogs in Idaho takes a turn for the worse as one dog is found murdered in a ritualistic manner.
While there are many things to signify that our species is headed in the right direction and there are plenty of things to give us hope, there is still an unfortunately large number of people who are trapped in a very sadistic and destructive mindset.
Last year there was a string of disturbing cases of cannibalism, and now it seems that this year ritualistic murder and animal sacrifices are becoming common in the media.
Recently in Idaho dogs have been mysteriously vanishing, and one even turned up murdered in a ritualistic style killing.
“The dogs seem to vanish into thin air,” said Debbie Blackwood, director of the animal shelter in Twin Falls, Idaho.
“Officials say some 30 dogs have gone missing in recent months in Twin Falls and nearby communities in an agricultural region in south-central Idaho known as the Magic Valley. A man and his young daughter hiking along the north rim of the Snake River Canyon northeast of Twin Falls earlier this month discovered the remains of a German shepherd that had apparently been stoned to death, Blackwood said.
The dog, found in an area known as the Devil’s Corral in neighboring Jerome County, appeared to have suffered a “ritualistic execution” in which its head was crushed with rock and its carcass covered with a purple cloth, she said. The case has prompted the Humane Society of the United States to offer a $5,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in the dog’s death.”
The dogs have reportedly been lured into vans and never seen again.
“They saw them loading them in their vehicle,” Blackwood told KPVI-TV. “They let their little dog out, next thing she knows a red van pulls up and she has to race out and retrieve it, an older person in the dark.”
“Animals go missing every day. What’s disturbing about this trend is that there is absolutely no trace of them,” said Lisa Kauffman, Idaho director of the Humane Society of the United States.
John Goodwin, head of animal cruelty policy for the Humane Society, said it was unlikely dogs were stolen by people engaged in dog fighting, because it was rare for those involved in the activity to use just any dog.
Just two weeks ago we covered a story where a 27 year old rapper was arrested for attempting to sacrifice a friend, so he could achieve super stardom. There are a lot of people out there who are twisted from a life of indoctrination, and as the people in power continue to behave like monsters, there will be a small but loud portion of society who will emulate these monsters in attempts to achieve power or control in their own lives and neighborhoods.
Standing up for Jesus means you obey God and do what He tells us to do in the Bible even when everyone around is not. Have you ever had to stand up for God? Elijah stood up boldly for God in a time when idolatry had swept his land. In fact, his name means “My God is Yah(weh).” The false god he opposed was Baal, the favorite deity of Jezebel, wife of King Ahab of Israel. To please Jezebel, Ahab had altars erected to Baal, and the queen murdered God’s prophets.
In Elijah’s day, the god Baal supposedly granted its worshipers success, fame and prosperity. Those who kissed the idol’s feet sought fulfillment in every area of materialism and sensuality. Who were these Baal worshipers? They were God’s chosen people, backslidden worshipers of Yahweh. Like me, you may wonder how God’s people could be drawn to such blatant idolatry. They saw Baal’s followers being blessed materially. And they reasoned, “We had plenty of food back in Jerusalem, when we bowed to our idols. We were blessed and successful then, with no suffering. But ever since we stopped worshiping those idols, we’ve faced only hardship. Let’s go back to burning incense and making drink offerings to the queen of heaven. Then maybe we’ll get the things we want again” (see Jeremiah 44:16-19).
God’s people had fallen under the powerful seduction of a “success gospel.” A spirit of greed and covetousness had gripped them, so that their lives now centered around wealth and recognition. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with succeeding, if you do things God’s way: clinging to Christ, tithing faithfully, submitting to his will. But in Israel, there was an unholy mixture: the people bowed to Yahweh because they feared his judgment, yet they also coveted material things. Right now, the same spirit of Baal is raging in our nation. On Wall Street, in front of the U.S. Stock Exchange, we see the very image of this pagan god. It’s a bronze statue of a huge bull, representing a “bull market”: ever-increasing prosperity, great wealth and fame, human achievement. These are the gods our nation bows to. We have “prosperity preachers” that preach if you follow God you will have health, wealth and your best life now. Preachers such as Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar and many more. They twist the Scriptures and pervert God’s word. Jude tells us – Jude 1:4...”For there are certain men who crept in unawares,who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Not only do they tell the people that if you follow God you will have everything you want, they often deny that Jesus is the only way to heaven.
Paul writes to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:2-5Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.This Perverted Concept of Success Has Crept Into the Church.
In churches throughout America, the same seductive Baal spirit is at work. Multitudes of believers are driven by the urgent need to make it big. As a result, they’re being swept into lavish living and bottomless pits of debt. This doctrine is especially seductive as our nation is in the deepest pit of debt it has ever seen with an economy that is hardly surviving. This spirit has also produced a cockeyed view of success similar to the world’s. When a Pentecostal movement in Canada recently held a seminar for “successful pastors,” it stipulated that only ministers with congregations of at least 1,000 people could come. Apparently, large numbers was their only criterion for success.
Jesus describes how such believers become lukewarm: “These are they which…hear the word, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful” (Mark 4:18-19). Simply put, anything that interferes with our walk with Jesus is sin. If we allow something to press into our hearts — a drive for success, money or acclaim — it will put us on our knees before Baal. Our spiritual eyes will be blinded. And our hearts will grow cold, no longer zealous for Jesus.
The Israelites flocked to Baal’s church of success and prosperity. And soon this backslidden church was rife with unspeakable corruption. Elijah faced 850 false prophets in a life-or-death showdown over whose God would prevail. Some 450 of these prophets served the pagan god Baal; the other 400 were priests of the idolatrous groves built by wicked Queen Jezebel. Now, in a demonic ritual, the Baal prophets began dancing and wailing, trying to awaken their god. When the frenzy finally ended, the prophets lay bleeding profusely, totally exhausted. The idolaters sacrificed a bull and cried out to Baal from morning until nightfall, even slashing their skin until blood flowed, but nothing happened.
Elijah cried out to them, “How long will you waver between two opinions? Either the Lord is God, or Baal. You need to choose who the true God that you will follow is.” (1 Kings 18:21)
Then Elijah stepped up for his turn. He simply called on the Lord, and instantly supernatural fire fell from heaven. The engulfing blast of heat consumed both the prophet’s sacrifice and the twelve barrelfuls of water he’d poured around it. It even consumed the rocks on the altar. What an awesome display of God’s almighty power. The people fell on their faces, shouting, “The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God.”
1 Kings 18:36-39 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: “O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.” Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The LORD-He is God! The LORD-He is God!”
Elijah ordered the people to slay the 850 false prophets. Elijah then slew every one of those 850 false prophets. Suddenly, revival was back in Israel. The awakening Elijah had prayed for had finally come — or so he thought: “This is God’s hour. It’s the beginning of the renewal I’ve preached about for so long.”
The Lord our God has always had this problem with prosperity preachers that entice God’s people to doctrines of demons. From 900 B.C. til today. Peter warns us in 2 Peter 2:
But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
Doom of False Teachers
For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
Deceptions of False Teachers
For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”
We must not follow these preachers who turn us to fornication with other gods than the one true God and our Lord and Savior Jesus. We must expose these false prophets for who they are. I have two video below of some of these prosperity preachers and false teachers. I will keep updating with more videos in time. Blessings and love in Jesus name.
Jesus told us to judge especially concerning these false prophets. He told us we will know a tree by it’s fruit. Jude 1:4...”For there are certain men who crept in unawares,who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Make sure your on the one path of Jesus Christ being your Lord and Savior and remember to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him. I try to help the body of Christ by exposing these false teachers that have a big following. I pray that none of you follow these false prophets. Peace and love in Jesus name.
I AM is at the doors
