Don’t be a thug for Christ, like John Calvin, who invented the doctrine that justified his own behavior — “once saved always saved” (OSAS) — the false gospel destroying America.
Whoever shall now contend that it is unjust to put heretics and blasphemers to death will knowingly and willingly incur their very guilt. This is not laid down on human authority; it is God who speaks and prescribes a perpetual rule for his Church. . . . Many people have accused me of such ferocious cruelty that I would like to kill again the man that I have destroyed. Not only am I indifferent to their comments, but I rejoice in the fact that they spit in my face.

WoW! Two former elders from our church are pushing this heresy on Facebook, thinking it’s so funny.
“For The TIME WILL COME when THEY WILL NOT LISTEN to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves TEACHERS AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS; and will TURN AWAY THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, and turn aside to *FABLES*” (2 Tim. 4:3-4)

For those of you who don’t know, this is what Dual Covenant Theology is:
“Dual-covenant theology is a Liberal Christian view that holds that Jews may simply keep the Law of Moses, because of the “everlasting covenant” (Genesis 17:13) between Abraham and God expressed in the Hebrew Bible, whereas Gentiles (those not Jews or Jewish proselytes) must convert to Christianity or alternatively accept the Seven Laws of Noah. Many forms of Christianity, especially Conservative Protestants, consider this view to be heresy.” source – Wikipedia
Does John Hagee teach Dual Covenant Theology?
Yes, he does.
How do I know this? A friend of mine who lives in Israel met with Pastor Hagee and his staff including Cheryl Morrison, a key Director in CUFI – Christians United For Israel. At this meeting, attended by over 5,000, she was told by both Pastor Hagee and Cheryl Morrison that “Jews are saved by the Abrahamic covenant” He told them, in effect, that they do not need Jesus because they have God’s promised to Abraham. …
John Hagee in his own words
“Jesus did not come to the earth to be the Messiah” – from John Hagee’s book, ‘In Defense of Israel”
“The Jewish people have a relationship to God through the law of God as given through Moses,” Hagee said. “I believe that every Gentile person can only come to God through the cross of Christ. I believe that every Jewish person who lives in the light of the Torah, which is the word of God, has a relationship with God and will come to redemption. “The law of Moses is sufficient enough to bring a person into the knowledge of God until God gives him a greater revelation. And God has not,” said Hagee, giving his interpretation of Romans 11:25. “Paul abandoned the idea (of Jews knowing Christ). In the book of Romans, he said, `I am now going to go to the Gentiles from this time forward.’ Judaism doesn’t need Christianity to explain its existence. But Christianity has to have Judaism to explain its existence.” Houston Chronicle[“San Antonio Fundamentalist Battles Anti-Semitism,” Houston Chronicle, April 30, 1988, section 6, page 1]
“I’m not trying to convert the Jewish people to the Christian faith,” he said. “There is nothing in the `night to honor Israel’ that does that.” In fact, trying to convert Jews is a “waste of time,” he said. “The Jewish person who has his roots in Judaism is not going to convert to Christianity. There is no form of Christian evangelism that has failed so miserably as evangelizing the Jewish people. They (already) have a faith structure.” Everyone else, whether Buddhist or Baha’i, needs to believe in Jesus, he says. But not Jews. Jews already have a covenant with God that has never been replaced by Christianity, he says. Houston Chronicle[“San Antonio Fundamentalist Battles Anti-Semitism,” HoustonChronicle, April 30, 1988, section 6, page 1]
“This book will expose the sins of the fathers and the vicious abuse of the Jewish people. ‘In Defense of Israel’ will shake Christian theology. It scripturally proves that the Jewish people as a whole did not reject Jesus as Messiah. It will also prove that Jesus did not come to earth to be the Messiah. It will prove that there was a ‘Calvary conspiracy’ between Rome, the high priest, and Herod to execute Jesus as an insurrectionist too dangerous to live. Since Jesus refused by word and deed to claim to be the Messiah, how can the Jews be blamed for rejecting what was never offered?” – from John Hagee’s book, ‘In Defense of Israel”
John Hagee rejects the label of Dual Covenant Theology, and that he does not acknowledge that what he teaches is that. But as this article has shown, for all practical purposes he does indeed hold to the position that there is one path of salvation for the Jews – Abraham, and that there is another path for all gentiles – Jesus. He has said exactly this in the interview with the Houston Chronicle, and in his writing and teachings on the subject. In fact, he has held to this position for over 30 years. …

HAGEE: “there is not one verse of Scripture in the New Testament that says Jesus came to be the Messiah…” (p. 136) BIBLE: John 4:25-26– “The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. ” Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].”
“Our eyes are full of sawdust. We can’t see clearly to see the kingdom.

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For [because] Adam was *first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. – 1 Timothy 2:12-14
*first formed: Adam was given specific personality traits to best perform his specific function. Eve was then formed to help Adam, and was therefore given a different set of personality traits to compliment man’s.
a.k.a. Rescued from Hell, Originally from Spanish, this version has been polished, Illustrated, and abridged (source)
In 1982, I had an accident in which I died. As death came over me, I felt everything become dark. I found myself walking through a dark tunnel, and some kind of being was taking me. While we walked in this cold and dark tunnel, I began to hear horrific screams and moans, and an intense fear was growing inside of me. I knew that, although my body was already dead, I was somehow still alive in this place.
I saw large snakes moving all around, and all the people were crying out for water. Soon we arrived at an open plateau, which had many chambers and divisions, each contained different people inside. I began to cry out with terror, begging God for mercy. “Lord, remember my life! Have mercy!” Sheer terror was gripping my soul, and my whole life was passing before my eyes. As we approached some door, I shouted again, “Have mercy on me my Lord; have mercy on me! I beg you to help me! Help me Lord!!”
Suddenly there was a silence, and I heard a loud voice say, “Stop!” The voice shook all of Hell, and the being that was taking me by the hand, released me. “I am not the God of adulterers, I am not the God of fornicators, I am not the God of liars. Why do you call me Lord, if I am not a God of those who boast?“(Luke 6:46)
I felt like I was going to be destroyed, but as the moments passed, God’s voice became softer, “Come and I will show you the things going on in this place that are waiting for all who haven’t been willing to follow My way and have walked after the imaginations of their own hearts.“
We then went to a place where I saw a woman was sitting in a rocking chair. There were still terrifying moans coming from all over that place. At first, she seemed ok, but then her body transformed into a witch, and she screamed in agony, burning in flames. She begged for mercy, but the Lord said to me “The wages of sin is death, and those who arrive in this place will never get out again.“(Romans 6:23)
The Lord showed me many disobedient people, many who were once part of a Christian Church. They were crying out and begging for mercy, but there was no mercy. Mercy could only be found while a person is still alive on Earth. Once people are dead, mercy cannot be reached anymore, as it says, “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27)
Jesus also showed me a place with some kind of boiling oil, and there were people suffering inside, burning in flames and trying to get out. But demons would throw them back in.
We walked until we came to a place with people that had once listened to the word of God, but never wanted to repent.
I even saw pastors, evangelists, believers and missionaries. They were all there for different reasons. I saw one pastor who never believed in the power of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, healings or the baptism of the Holy Ghost. (Mark 3:29) He was begging for mercy, and just one more chance tell the world that speaking in tongues is real, that that the Holy Ghost is real, and that there is real freedom in the gospel. But it was too late for him; he could never get out, even though he was a pastor. His chance to repent was only possible on Earth.
I also saw a missionary in Hell. He was there because he asked for money to open a mission in Africa, but he kept half the money for himself. Now he begs for mercy and another chance to return the money that wasn’t his. When he saw that Jesus could not help him, he cursed Jesus.
I saw people that were once inside the church praising God. Now they only cry out for mercy for their un-repented sins, they lost their chance to repent after they died. I saw pastors there who robbed tithes and offerings from their churches. They also begged to undo all their bad works, but there was no more chance.
Those who die without Jesus Christ go to hell, and those who die with Jesus Christ go to Heaven. Many people believe that dying is just stopping this existence. (Annihilationism)But at death, your real life begins, either in God’s Glory or in everlasting condemnation and shame. (Daniel 12:2) You are making that choice right now. We must all carefully meditate on where we will spend eternity. Do you want to spend eternity in Hell or in God’s glory? It’s your choice.
We continued walking to another horrifying place where there were demons of all types, shapes and forms; some that had just one arm, one eye and one hoofed leg. Their faces were like half of a human face, but the rest was just empty. I asked, “Lord, what is this?” And He said, “These are demons of destruction, in the homes of all those who are lost. This is the demon that will destroy and destroy without rest, day after day.”
The torment in that place is so terrible; the souls always remember the things they did while on Earth. Just like in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. (Luke 16:19-31) The rich man could remember that he had a father and five brothers. You remember all the things you did in your life, good or bad; you remember all your relatives, and this is part of the torment, because you so desperately don’t want them to enter Hell also.
Today there are many people that preach the gospel, warning those on Earth to repent. The only one who can save you is Jesus, who is at the right hand of the Father, ready to save you. “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under Heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”(Acts 4:12)Trust in Jesus alone.
In the bible it says “I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.” (Rev. 20:12)All persons that can comprehend between good and evil will have to stand before the Lord; nothing is hidden from the eyes of the Lord.
We continued walking until we came to a place that was similar to stadium. There were demons there laughing at lost souls. They were mocking them, and tormenting those who were made in God’s image.
The demons would tear off parts of people and hide them, making the people search for it. Demons were getting sadistic pleasure by inflicting pain. As it is written “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…” (John 10:10)
The people there desperately thirst for water, but there is none. They regret even the day they were born. But the worst feeling is for those who knew Jesus, but then walked away from Him. If you have walked away from Jesus, if you no longer follow His ways, today is the day to come back! Don’t be ashamed of what your friends or anyone else may say.
Remember what Jesus said about those who are ashamed of Him. If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.(Luke 9:26)
It is time for you to run to the presence of God; and look for salvation. Do not look for a church that makes you feel good; look for a church where the Spirit of the Lord moves and repent of all your sins! It is time for deep repentance; time to cry out to the Lord and run to Jesus. If you have sins that you haven’t stopped, your soul is in DANGER, because the Bible says that Jesus will come as a thief in the night, (1 Thess. 5:2) Are you ready or not?
We continued watching the demons torment people. I saw one rip out a person’s eye, and hide it, and that person had to drag himself in pain to find it. The demons were getting pleasure from their cruelty. To some, they ripped off arms and legs. But to those who once knew the Lord, but died in their sins, their punishment was much worse. They had a double condemnation. (Hebrews 10:26-27) Those who never knew God were also in torment, but there is more suffering for those who knew Jesus and then became backsliders. (2 Pet. 2:21)
When I was there, I felt unspeakable terror in my soul, pure panic. I had such compassion for all the souls that were crying for mercy. Jesus said, “I will show you how many things are still waiting for lost souls.“
We passed another place that had many different burning cells. Inside the cells were souls, but all that was left of them was just charred grey bones. But they could still feel pain, and they screamed out for mercy from Jesus as He walked by. I found out that these people were once in Churches; some even preached the word of God during their lifetime, some cast out demons and spoke in tongues while on Earth. But now these Christians were down here, because one day they decided to turn from the ways of God.
The Road to Hell
The Lord said, “Look at this wide street.” I saw a street where a multitude of believers were walking, and they were even carrying bibles. I saw some praying and others were singing praises.
I saw how the narrow road of God branched off to the right, but the Christians continued walking straight to hell. Jesus explained, “They have a double life; they are living two lives: one in My house of prayer, and another in their own houses.“ I said, “But Lord, these people are praising Your Name!” Jesus replied, “Yes, and even when they cry, shout, and say nice things about Me or to Me, their hearts are full of adultery, full of evil, full of lies, full of deception, full of hate, full of roots of bitterness, full of bad thoughts.“ Then, I understood what was written in Scripture “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in Heaven.” (Matt. 7:21)
Many Christians have some hatred or bitterness in their heart toward their brothers; and may even skip church because of that brother. But when the pastor asks the church, “How many of you love the Lord?” They say “Amen!” But the Bible says that those who hate their brothers are like murders, and no murder can come in the Kingdom of Heaven. It is written, anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. (Matt 5:22)These brothers will deeply regret that when the Lord returns.
The Bible tells us, Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. (Leviticus 19:17-18) It’s so sad when those serve the Lord, don’t make it into Heaven. You need to seriously meditate on this and ask, “Am I ready for the Lord? Am I really doing the will of God? Is my life pleasing to God?” You still have time to turn your heart to God and escape Hell.
Some people don’t care about where they are going, they only want to enjoy this life. But I tell you, spending time with Jesus, not some woman is enjoying life. Spending time in the Lord’s house, not a bar, that’s life. We need to ask God for Mercy for those who are still waking on the road of death and sin.
In Hell, we saw many who thought they were living holy while on Earth, but now they were just begging for mercy and another chance. My soul ached so much for them. We saw a woman who was acting like she was reading the Word of God, and preaching about John 3:16. She said: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus said she was there “Because she could never forgive her husband; she never managed to forgive her husband.” (Matt 6:14-15)This woman had been shepherding an evangelical church for 35 years, but now in Hell, she is begging for one more chance to forgive her husband.
The bible warns us, settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. (Matt. 5:25)and Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. (Matt. 5:7)
If you are someone who cries in the presence of the Lord, you are still under grace and mercy. But if you feel that you cannot cry any more, or pray anymore, if you have stopped your prayer life, you are in great danger.
Forgiveness is something special, and that woman never forgave. After 35 years of hard work for God, she lost it all in the end. Meditate on this, and make sure you forgive all. How do you want to spend eternity?
My brother would often tell me: “The day I die, I’ll go to hell and let the demons torment me” But thankfully he has repented of this foolish belief, because the judgment of God has reached him. While recording this message, he is currently lying down, sick with AIDS. He is has begged God for a chance, and he has finally turned his heart to Jesus. He does not think the same way anymore, and doesn’t want to go to that place of torment. Thankfully, my brother has accepted Jesus as his savior. My brother was lucky; he knew he didn’t have much time left. But most people don’t know when they will die.
Jesus and I continued walking until we came upon a group of people who called themselves “Evangelical Christians”. Jesus explained why these men were in Hell. In the neighborhood where they lived, there was a drunk that became a Christian. One day his wife got severely ill. He began to go door to door seeking help to bring her to the Hospital. When he got to the house of a Christian, he told them, “My wife is very sick. I need you to lend me some money to take her to the hospital.” But the Christians told him, “That is what you say! No! We don’t have money here!” When he went to another Christian’s house they also refused to help him. Eventually the man’s wife died.
One of the Christians said, “I sure taught that drunk a lesson, He just wanted the money to get drunk, but he didn’t fool me! I didn’t give him a single penny!” Now in Hell, they are in fire and tormented, and deeply regret their evil. (Matt 23:31-46)
These men were tied up with ropes, and burning. Their skin was falling from their bodies, and there was no end to the torment. They remember all the evil that they did.
A Proud Christian
Please listen to me carefully. I was also an Evangelical Christian. I prayed for the sick and God healed them, I prayed for the lame and God raised them up. I cast out demons and spoke in new tongues, but I had a spirit of vainglory, that made me see my pastor as spiritually smaller than me.
I saw many miracles in my ministry, more than my pastor. But I began to think that it was me, that I was the one doing the miracles. In my vainglory, I thought that I was super-gifted, someone special. I didn’t understand that it was the mercy of God that was in my life. When I got to Hell, God told me, “I am not the God of people with vainglory.”
Many of us stand before the altar of God full of pride and vainglory. Many, who sing praises to God, begin to be full of pride. Many of God’s servants who preach the word, and are used mightily by God, begin to think that they are overly important? Many people who work in deliverance also get full of pride? I want to tell you that God see all, and knows your heart.
If you have vainglory, pride, or arrogance in your heart, if you see your brother or pastor with disdain, please repent of your sins quickly! It is much better to be humiliated before the men, than be humiliated in the presence of the Lord. I wish you could see this place, like I did. I wish you could hear the cries of the damned, feel the terror that I did, and see their final judgment, then you would understand.
We continued walking until we arrived at some a kind of waiting room. We saw a demon that was shouting, and other demons were presenting themselves before him. Two of them were in the form of beautiful women. Their job was to destroy ministries, and lead ministers into sin. Those who serve the Lord, must be careful of satan’s traps. satan wants to destroy your life, and he can use those people who are close to you, those who do not walk close to Jesus. They can be instruments of satan.
Satan also has demons that are disguised as men. They go into churches in search for young ladies and even married women, to lead them into sin, destroying marriages and lives.
In Hell, I also saw a man that blasphemed against the Holy Spirit. (Luke 12:10) He was there begging for mercy, and shouting in pain. There were worms all over his face and body. He tried to remove them, but more would always come. (Mark 9:44) His pain was unbearable.
This man was worried about his family members arriving there. If you truly love your family, preach the Word of God to them, so they may escape from hell. (Acts 16:31)
The bible says do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matt. 10:28)
Christians need to remember that even though they can hide the truth from pastors, deacons, elders and the Congregation, they can NOT hide from the presence of the Lord. As it is written, Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to the Heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast.(Psalms 139:7-10)
Lying to God
It might sound crazy, but many Christians wind up in Hell because of lying. Christians often just nonchalantly lie in Church, and think nothing of it. The pastor may ask them a question, and a member just lies to them. But we must remember that a simple lie is what caused God to kill Ananias and Saphira while in Church. (Acts 5:3-10)
Many Christians are in Hell because they simply lied to the pastor. They didn’t realize that they were lying to God. And the bible warns us, no drunks, no adulterers, no fornicators, no LIARS shall inherit the Kingdom of God. (Rev. 21:8) (1 Cor. 6:9-10)
You must know that just because you claim to be a Christian, you can still be unclean before God, if you keep sinning. I was personally being used by God, but still had vainglory in my heart. (Matt 7:21-23)There is still time to repent and renew your heart and mind.
If you’re a lukewarm Christian, backsliding, or living a double life, bow you head right now before God, and beg for forgiveness, be willing to turn away from evil deeds. If you don’t know Jesus, pray now, and ask Him for forgiveness, ask Him into your heart, accept Him as your savior.
Don’t waste any more time!
And don’t be a Christian that winds up in Hell!

Shocking Beliefs of Martin Luther
August 5, 2015 by Frank Viola
[…]
7. Luther believed it was justified – and evenly divinely ordered – that the peasants be slain during the Peasants’ War.
At first, Luther sided with the peasants. He made this plain in his Admonition to Peace. In it, he blamed the unrest on the rulers who persecuted the gospel and mistreated their subjects. He felt that many of the peasants’ demands were fair. And for the sake of peace, the rulers should accommodate them.
But after he observed how the peasants were behaving — causing chaos, violence, and anarchy — he changed his position. In his treatise Against the Robbing and Murdering Hordes of Peasants, he urged the princes with these words,
“Therefore let everyone who can, smite, slay and stab, secretly or openly, remembering that nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful or devilish than a rebel. It is just as when one must kill a mad dog; if you do not strike him, he will strike you, and a whole land with you.” [preemptive war – ed.]
As a result, the peasants were brutally suppressed.
The Protestant historian H. A. L. Fisher wrote,
“The manner in which he [Luther] dissociated his movement from the peasant rebellion . . . and the encouragement he gave to a course of repression so savage that it left the German peasantry more defenseless and abased than any social class in central or western Europe, are serious blots upon his good name. The German peasants were rough men and rough fighters; but their grievances were genuine, and their original demands were just and reasonable.” [17]
Here are some other quotes by Luther on the matter:
“Like the mules who will not move unless you perpetually whip them with rods, so the civil powers must drive the common people, whip, choke, hang, burn, behead and torture them, that they may learn to fear the powers that be.” [18]
“Peasants are no better than straw. They will not hear the word and they are without sense; therefore they must be compelled to hear the crack of the whip and the whiz of bullets and it is only what they deserve.” [19]
“To kill a peasant is not murder; it is helping to extinguish the conflagration. Let there be no half measures! Crush them! Cut their throats! Transfix them. Leave no stone unturned! To kill a peasant is to destroy a mad dog! If they say that I am very hard and merciless, mercy be damned. Let whoever can stab, strangle, and kill them like mad dogs.” [20]
“I, Martin Luther, have during the rebellion slain all the peasants, for it was I who ordered them to be struck dead. All their blood is upon my head. But I put it all on our Lord God: for he commanded me to speak thus.” [21]

9. Luther believed that heretics should be put to death.
By 1531, Luther believed that blasphemy was punishable by death and he included “false teaching” into that definition. In 1536, Melanchthon drafted a memorandum demanding death for all Anabaptists and Luther signed it. [23]

Paul worked out his own salvation through fear and trembling, running his race to WIN — RECONCILING. He maintained a clear conscience and a clean heart— unlike many who now manufacture hype, because they don’t have the anointing, neglecting holiness — refusing to admit they were wrong and apologize…. But God will not be mocked. We will reap what we sow!
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” – Heb. 10:31
“Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment” (James 3:1 — there is no judgment in heaven)
“..for the COWARDLY … SINNERS, … and ALL LIARS, their part is in the LAKE THAT BURNS with fire and sulfur….” – Rev. 21:8
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ WILL ENTER into the kingdom of heaven; but he who DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER who is in heaven.” (Mt. 7:21)
“Our eyes are full of sawdust. We can’t see clearly to see the kingdom. There is might and there is power and there is glory, but it is being withheld until these relationships are made right, until we love our brother enough to feel his hurt deeply and say kind words of salve that heal their souls.

Fear must decrease. Love must increase. He will fight and he will win the battle over the stronghold of fear and unforgiveness, sayeth the Lord.”
Some of the ways you can tell if your pastor is lying to you. Many, if not most do — now that they teach once-saved-always-saved (OSAS), and don’t get right with those they’ve hurt, like Paul made sure he did, as he worked out his own salvation with fear and trembling, running his race to win!:
“Herein I also practice ALWAYS having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.” (Acts 24:16)

When it comes to smiling, the mouth can lie but the eyes can’t. Genuine smiles reach the eyes, crinkling the skin to create crow’s feet around them. People often smile to hide what they’re really thinking and feeling, so the next time you want to know if someone’s smile is genuine, look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes. If they aren’t there, that smile is hiding something.
Copying your body language is a good thing.

Eyes that lie.
Most of us probably grew up hearing, “Look me in the eye when you talk to me!” Our parents were operating under the assumption that it’s tough to hold someone’s gaze when you’re lying to them, and they were right to an extent.
But that’s such common knowledge that people will often deliberately hold eye contact in an attempt to cover up the fact that they’re lying.
The problem is that most of them overcompensate and hold eye contact to the point that it feels uncomfortable.
On average, Americans hold eye contact for seven to ten seconds, longer when we’re listening than when we’re talking. If you’re talking with someone whose stare is making you squirm — especially if they’re very still and unblinking — something is up and they might be lying you.
Raised eyebrows signal discomfort.

Exaggerated nodding signals anxiety about approval.
The Bible and the Protocols [Protocols of Zion – ed.] agree: one world government and religion are coming.
Revelation 13:7 says the Antichrist will have “authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.” Protocol 5:11 says the Illuminati plan to “absorb all the state forces of the world and to form a super-government.”
Revelation 13:8 says that “inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast.” Protocol 15:20 brags “they will acknowledge the autocracy of our ruler with a devotion bordering on ‘apotheosis'” [glorification as a god]. He “will be the real pope of the universe, the patriarch of the international church.” (17:4)
For Satan to rule Earth autocratically, he must not only consolidate governments and currencies, but belief systems. But how could he unite something so diverse as religions?
THE PLAN
The long-term strategy: (1) splinter a religion into sects on the “divide and conquer” principle; (2) assault the religion’s foundations, creating doubts among believers; (3) finally, herd the remnants together with other religions – i.e., ecumenism.
Let’s see how this played out in Christianity. Protocol 17:5 says of churches: “we shall fight against them by criticism calculated to produce schism.” Over centuries, Christianity has been splintered into increasingly smaller sects. For example, the Jehovah’s Witnesses were founded by a Freemason, Charles Taze Russell.
To plant doubts in believers, Darwin’s theory of evolution was introduced as a “scientific” alternative to creation by God. Protocols 2:3 flaunts “the successes we arranged for Darwinism.”
Attacks on the Bible achieved what Protocol 17:2 terms “the complete wrecking of that Christian religion.” The Rockefellers funded seminaries that questioned the Gospel, most notoriously the Union Theological Seminary. In the late 19th century, Union Theological professor Charles Briggs introduced “Higher Criticism,” in America claiming the Bible was error-ridden.
In 1922, Harry Emerson Fosdick, left, gave a landmark sermon which cast doubt on the Bible being God’s Word, the Virgin Birth, the Second Coming, and Christ’s death as atonement for sins. He declared those holding these beliefs “intolerant.”
His sermon sparked outrage, and Fosdick was forced to resign. However, he was immediately hired as pastor of Riverside Church – attended and built by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. for $4 million. Rockefeller paid for 130,000 copies of Fosdick’s sermon to be printed and distributed to ministers. Fosdick’s brother Raymond was president of the Rockefeller Foundation.
The views expressed by theologians like Briggs and Fosdick were called “Modernism,” which included denying Christ’s divinity, miracles and resurrection. Modernism was not a quibbling over some gray area of theology; it was total repudiation of Christianity’s major tenets. With Rockefeller funding, it permeated seminaries and churches.
Recently Modernism has gone further; the Jesus Seminar (financial backers unpublicized) declared over 80 percent of sayings attributed to Jesus weren’t authentic. The Da Vinci Code – this century’s best-selling novel, thought by John Coleman to be a Tavistock creation – claimed Jesus wasn’t resurrected and married Mary Magdalene. Shortly after the film version’s release, a Discovery Channel documentary claimed a tomb had been found containing the bones of Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
ECUMENISM AND SOCIAL GOSPEL UNDERMINING FAITH
Consolidation of churches required organizations. The Rockefellers funded the National Council of Churches. John Foster Dulles was chosen to spearhead the ecumenism drive. Dulles was a Rockefeller in-law, chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation trustees, a founding CFR member who helped draft the UN Charter (which never mentions God.)
In 1942, Dulles chaired a 30-denomination meeting which called for “a world government of delegated powers.” Not content with unifying America’s churches, Dulles traveled to Amsterdam in 1948 to attend the founding conference of the World Council of Churches. Director of research for this foundation-funded conference was John Bennett – president of Union Theological and a CFR member.
Among today’s ecumenical traps: the Tony Blair Faith Foundation. The former British prime minister – a consummate insider – said he wanted to “promote respect, friendship and understanding between the major religious faiths” since “globalization pushes us ever closer.”
But even with structures for consolidation, the question remained: how to motivate churches to unite. Since denominations often disagree on theology, the strategy was to encourage collaboration where they did agree: values (e.g., helping the poor and sick.) This materialized in an action-based program, “the Social Gospel” (socialism masked as religion.)
Walter Rauschenbusch, trained at Rockefeller-funded Rochester Theological Seminary, became “Father of the Social Gospel,” declaring that “the only power that can make socialism succeed, if it is established, is religion.”
Perhaps the most notorious “Social Gospel” pusher: Rockefeller-backed Reverend Harry F. Ward, who long taught at Union Theological. Ward, the ACLU’s first chairman, was called by labor leader Samuel Gompers “the most ardent pro-Bolshevik cleric in this country.” Ward helped found the Methodist Federation for Social Action, which advised Christians to downplay the Gospel and fight for things like social justice, better labor conditions, and “world peace” – i.e., the goals Marxists proclaimed.
Missionary work was targeted. In 1930, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. funded the “Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry,” which recommended missionaries downplay Christian doctrines and ally with other religions in doing good works. Although most denominations were critical of the report, former missionary Pearl Buck praised it in the media. Subsequently her novel The Good Earth received the Nobel Prize.
This “unity through action” strategy continues today. The Tony Blair Faith Foundation’s original website had a “Social Action Projects” page which asked viewers to sign a declaration stating: “I commit to working together with people of all faiths to fight against disease and poverty.”
Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life (over 30 million sold) is America’s current Social Gospel point man. In 2008, backed by a $2 million Rupert Murdoch donation, Warren launched the PEACE Coalition. Time magazine headlined it: “RICK WARREN GOES GLOBAL.” Warren said the coalition’s goal was “to mobilize 1 billion Christians worldwide.”
Warren, who is a CFR member, gave the invocation at Obama’s inauguration, and was dubbed “America’s pastor” by CNN. He’s anointed, but by who?
CATHOLICS
The Illuminati haven’t forgotten Catholicism.Protocol 17:3: “When the time comes finally to destroy the papal court…we shall penetrate to its very bowels.”
Like other churches, Catholics have recently seen major ecumenical developments….
ONE WORLD RELIGION
… To induce worship, the Antichrist will not initially appear as a tyrant, but as a “savior.” To save us from what? Probably from all the chaos the satanic Illuminati will have created: wars ignited by false flags, famines from artificial food shortages, plagues from viruses synthesized in laboratories, HAARP-generated storms and earthquakes, and perhaps even a fake “Blue Beam” alien attack, simulated by holograms of spaceships. Having contrived these disasters, it will easy for him to stop them. By turning off HAARP, for example, he will appear to duplicate the feat of Jesus in quelling the storm on the Sea of Galilee. These high-tech counterfeit “miracles” will allow him to be accepted as God, as Christ returned.
But any “saving” will be short-lived. Once enthroned in Jerusalem (the end goal of Zionism), Satan will use his absolute dictatorship to unleash his greatest cruelties on the world. Worshiping the Antichrist….
The question that the Americanized Churches cannot possibly answer is THIS question: IN WHAT WAY do Americanized Churches suffer persecution for the namesake of Righteousness? …
Persecution is specifically for being persecuted BECAUSE you are living for JESUS. Persecution is specifically for {in regards to} living righteously and being hated for living righteously.
The American church CANNOT answer this question because they are NOT living in righteousness, they are NOT obeying JESUS. THEY ARE THE ONES PERSECUTING THE TRUE CHRISTIANS….
They CANNOT answer this question because they do NOT suffer persecution for the name of Jesus; it is a complete foreign concept to them.
Are YOU suffering persecution specifically for testifying for Jesus? Are you truly living for Jesus? If you are you WILL suffer persecution. It is written that ALL those who live Godly in Christ Jesus WILL suffer persecution.
The question that the Americanized Churches cannot possibly answer is THIS question: IN WHAT WAY do Americanized Churches suffer persecution for the namesake of Righteousness? I was once at a conference about 5 years ago and the speaker was asked this question. Someone asked Him; “In what way do pastors suffer persecution in America? And the speaker was left speechless because he could not answer the question. He tried to come up with an answer and he said that maybe all pastors have become “acclimated” to persecution and they don’t realize they are even being persecuted because it is just their daily way of life? Maybe they’re persecuted when people are not coming to their church enough? Or maybe they are persecuted because they don’t get to watch pornography. But it is SO hypocritical because persecution is NOT for/about avoiding sin, that is NOT persecution. Persecution is specifically for being persecuted BECAUSE you are living for JESUS. Persecution is specifically for {in regards to} living righteously and being hated for living righteously. The American church CANNOT answer this question because they are NOT living in righteousness, they are NOT obeying JESUS. THEY are the ones persecuting the true Christians and THEY are the ones persecuting the name of JESUS, THEY HATE HIM. They CANNOT answer this question because they do NOT suffer persecution for the name of Jesus; it is a complete foreign concept to them. Are YOU suffering persecution specifically for testifying for Jesus? Are you truly living for Jesus? If you are you WILL suffer persecution. It is written that ALL those who live Godly in Christ Jesus WILL suffer persecution. May the grace of Jesus be with you.
Jim Wallis has admitted that Sojourners has received funding in the past from liberal billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Institute.
Last month, Marvin Olasky asked Wallis to admit his affiliations on the left when reported on the money from Soros in World magazine.
George Soros, one of the leading billionaire leftists—he has financed groups promoting abortion, atheism, same-sex marriage, and gargantuan government—bankrolled Sojourners with a $200,000 grant in 2004. A year later, here’s how Jim rebutted a criticism of “religious progressives” for being allied with Soros and MoveOn.org: “I know of no connections to those liberal funds and groups that are as direct as the Religious Right’s ties to right-wing funders.”
Since then Sojourners has received at least two more grants from Soros organizations. Sojourners revenues have more than tripled—from $1,601,171 in 2001-2002 to $5,283,650 in 2008-2009—as secular leftists have learned to use the religious left to elect Obama and others.
In a Patheos interview, Wallis suggested that Olasky was lying.
“It’s not hyperbole or overstatement to say that Glenn Beck lies for a living. I’m sad to see Marvin Olasky doing the same thing. No, we don’t receive money from Soros. …
Wallis released a statement through a spokesperson to Patheos.
I should have declined to comment until I was able to review the blog post in question and consulted with our staff on the details of our funding over the past several years. Instead, I answered in the spirit of the accusation and did not recall the details of our funding over the decade in question. The spirit of the accusation was that Sojourners is beholden to funders on the political left, which is false. The allegation concerned three grants received over 10 years from the Open Society Institute that made up the tiniest fraction of Sojourners’ funding during that decade – so small that I hadn’t remembered them.
..it’s implausible for Wallis to claim that grants between 2004 and 2007 totaling $325,000 are “the tiniest fraction” of Sojourners’ funding. Worse, the three grants from Soros’s Open Society Institute are only the tip of the iceberg. Based on publicly-available 990s, I’ve discovered that Sojourners received at least forty-nine separate foundation grants between 2003 and 2009, totaling $2,159,346. Not one of these is from a discernibly conservative foundation. Very few are from discernibly Christian foundations.
Besides the Soros grants, for instance, there are two 2006 grants from the infamous Tides Foundation totaling $72,106; a Ford Foundation grant in 2008 for $100,000; a Rockefeller Brothers Fund grant for $100,000 in 2005; and a $50,000 grant from the Wallace Global Fund in 2008. The Wallace Global Fund also supports ACORN and a cornucopia of population-control groups.
Three grants, totaling $20,000 between 2005 and 2007, are from the Streisand Foundation in California. Yes, that Streisand foundation. (That’s just funny.) Other recipients of Streisand philanthropy include People for the American Way and Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
I’d really rather not have to post this, for I appreciate Steven Anderson’s boldness, tenacity, willingness to speak the truth no matter what on issues that many are afraid to even research. I’ve posted some of his videos on my blogs. But as the footage in this video and others I’ve seen shows, Steven strongly promotes hatred towards and even cursing people made in God’s image, what James specifically warns us to not do in James 3. Jesus also said to bless those who curse us, to love our enemies, “blessed are the peacemakers,” “love your neighbor as yourself,” etc.. Brian Moonan correctly says in this video (transribed by myself):
“We’re not God. You go around thinking you can ‘hate people with a perfect hatred’…, you can mess that up real quick, and you’re going to have a bad testimony, and you’re going to bring a reproach upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who has said we are to love, we are to love, we are to love others the way that He loved us, while we were yet sinners. Christ died for the ungodly. We’re not supposed to go around hating…. We’re not to go around trying to call down fire on our enemies, like the Old Testament, hating people, and wishing them death, and praying imprecatory prayers against people that you think are your enemy.”
Paul says in 2 Timothy 2:24-25, quoted by Brian in this video:
“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves….“
Steven also teaches the once-saved-always-saved heresy that the New Testament warns us about in dozens of verses. We must remain in Christ to have boldness on that day:
Steven needs to realize that he’s clearly, currently in the not-going-to-heaven, Galatians-5 list:
19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 21 envyings, murders,drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. …
6:7 Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that will he also reap. 8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Steven needs to join Paul, who worked out his salvation with fear and trembling, being able to say in front of Felix that he was *always* right with God and men:
“Herein I also practice ALWAYS having a conscience void of offense toward God and men” (Acts 24:16).
Also, this really short video explains the confusion on what Paul usually meant when warning about ‘works’:
Please pray for Steven that he understands that he must repent to get on track, to abide in Christ and be led by the Holy Spirit, so fruit can remain, so his branch won’t be cut off, thrown into the fire and burned (Jesus in John 15), when he sees Jesus face to Face — so his name won’t be removed from the Book of Life (Jesus in Rev. 3:1-6).

In this interview, Timothy Alberino and Fritz Springmeier discuss the insidious infiltration of the Illuminati into Christian churches, organizations and ministries.
Fritz Springmeier is a world renowned researcher and writer, and is widely considered to be the foremost expert on the Illuminati. His magnum opus, Bloodlines of the Illuminati, details the family lineages, hierarchy, and organizational nexus of the Illuminati, and provides incredible insight into their methods of infiltration and world domination.

‘The Church’s greatest mistakes occur when the people of God honor what a leader says without examining that instruction in the light of scripture.”

It’s amazing to me that HARDLY ANY STUDY what the New Testament really teaches about WHO GOES TO HEAVEN. What subject could be more important? There are very few BEREANS today, whom Paul said were “more noble.” They CHECKED the scriptures daily to make sure what Paul taught them was true.
It’s just common sense to make sure, right? Especially when the Bible predicted that false doctrine would prevail in the last days:
“For the time will come when they *will not listen to the sound doctrine*, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers *after their own lusts*; and will *turn away their ears from the truth*, and turn aside to *fables*.” – 2 Tim. 4:3-4
Sad that more pastors aren’t Christ-like like this. We’re supposed to be working together — ‘ONE’ body with Christ as the Head!
Here, even competitors, competing for big $bucks$, can be friends!!!

This is true in the kingdom of God too. Most pastors are Biblically disqualified, unlike Paul, who wrote the elders’ qualifications, and could say he was always right with people and God in Acts 24:16.
“It always takes one bold move by one person to make everyone comfortable doing something.”
“These people hate any kind of transparency or accountability. They run away from the cameras like cockroaches in the light. That’s why we need more people shining the light. So let your light shine bright!”

The main problem is that hype and ‘happy happy’ now replace the HOLY Spirit’s anointing, which will only happen when the people are right with each other and God, like Paul said he always was:
“Herein I also practice *always* having a conscience void of offense toward God and men” (Acts 24:16).
The once-saved-always-saved heresy is the greatest deception and #1 reason for thousands lifting UNholy hands, instead of worshiping in Spirit and in TRUTH.
False OSAS teaching leads to false worship, false churches and false people.
Truthful teaching leads to true worship and true churches.

“I was hurting inside, but I was much too proud to show it.”
“A leader has to have been broken in order to get himself out of the way and realize that he’s not really in the control he thinks he is.”
“My gods were ‘get ahead,’ ‘get power.’ I really enjoyed it. I loved being saluted. I loved being able to sit with the President and talk about great issues. I loved being able to advise him. I realize now, as I look back on it, that’s what I was worshiping. That was my god. And all that had happened when I was broken completely was I realized I wasn’t really as good as I thought I was.”
Sadly, Brit doesn’t always practice what he preaches. I just saw him on FOX News (‘Fair & Balanced’) slander Rand Paul for standing up for the U.S. Constitution and for telling the truth about ISIS. But that doesn’t negate these true and very wise words.
“As you get out into the world in every way — personal life, professional life, whatever you do — you’re going to make mistakes. If you’ve made a mistake, if you’ve made a blunder, admit it to yourself, and then go to the people affected by it, and admit it to them, and tell them you’re sorry — full-heartedly and openly.
The fact of the matter is that people who do that make an enormous impression. It is the right thing to do, it’s the moral thing to do, but it’s also the smart thing to do.
Good insight and examples, but I don’t agree with the gung ho, neocon, post-9/11 war theme.

“I saw her vent on her husband many, many times. In one particular situation, we were at a fundraiser. As we entered the elevator to go to the top of this hotel, Mrs. Clinton lit into her husband with every profane, four-letter word you’ve ever heard in your life, and as a military guy, I’ve heard them all. The anger really took me by surprise: how vicious it was and how profane it was. And then of course, when we got to the top floor of the hotel, when the elevator opened they were holding hands and smiling and waiving, like they could turn it on and off in a heartbeat.”

Rick Warren, proclaimed as America’s pastor has been under much scrutiny regarding his voice on the issue of Gay marriage. Here we examine exactly what he says on the issue.
s torment people. I saw one rip out a person’s eye, and hide it, and that person had to drag himself in pain to find it. The demons were getting pleasure from their cruelty. To some, they ripped off arms and legs. But to those who once knew the Lord, but died in their sins, their punishment was much worse. They had a double condemnation. 
Please listen to me carefully. I was also an Evangelical Christian. I prayed for the sick and God healed them, I prayed for the lame and God raised them up. I cast out demons and spoke in new tongues, but I had a spirit of vainglory, that made me see my pastor as spiritually smaller than me.
It might sound crazy, but many Christians wind up in Hell because of lying. Christians often just nonchalantly lie in Church, and think nothing of it. The pastor may ask them a question, and a member just lies to them. But we must remember that a simple lie is what caused God to kill Ananias and Saphira while in Church.
