THE INCREDIBLE SATANIC VISION

From The Cutting Edge

We have spoken a great deal about Albert Pike in the past few weeks, as we have examined, in some detail, his monumental Freemasonry teaching guide entitled, "Morals And Dogma of the Ancient And Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry". Pike was the Grand Commander of North American Freemasonry from 1859-1891. During his tenure, Pike caught a global vision of what Freemasonry could achieve, and so he turned his immense intellect toward achieving this vision. Consequently, Albert Pike was considered to be the foremost Freemason leader of the world at that time, and perhaps, the greatest of all time.

Before we move any further into our study, let us learn a few biographical facts about Albert Pike. Albert Pike, former Confederate War hero, became the leader of North American Freemasonry after the Civil War. Pike is considered to be the greatest leader ever of Freemasonry, because:

• He was a certified genius
• He spoke 16 languages fluently
• He graduated from Harvard University
• He achieved rank of Brigadier General of Confederate Army in Civil War
• He was thoroughly familiar with the Jewish occult system, the Cabala, the stone system of the New World Order

After Pike assumed leadership of Northern Freemasonry, he took up his headquarters in the "Temple of Understanding" in Washington, D.C., just 13 blocks north of the White House and in direct line of that great Freemasonry obelisk, the Washington Monument (Study the Freemasonry Connection article this week). When Andrew Johnson succeeded President Abraham Lincoln, Pike had unreserved access to the White House, because Johnson was a Freemason.<1>

At this time, Albert Pike's tremendous vision as to what the future of global Freemasonry might be like, plus the fact that he had the ear of the President of the United States, propelled American Freemasonry into the forefront of leadership in the drive to the New World Order. During the period from President Johnson to Harry S. Truman, many of the Presidents were Freemasons at the very time when real, substantive progress was being made to advance the global aims of the New World Order. Consider the Presidents in this time frame:

• Andrew Johnson 1865-1869
• James A. Garfield 1881
• William McKinley 1897-1901
• Theodore Roosevelt 1901-1909
• William Howard Taft 1909-1913
• Warren G. Harding 1921-1923
• Franklin D. Roosevelt 1933-1945
• Harry S. Truman 1945-1953<2>

Thus, in the pivotal period of time from the Civil War to the beginning of the Cold War, many of those years had a Freemason President in office. To be exact, in the very pivotal time period from 1865-1953, a period of 88 years, Presidents who were Freemason occupied the White House for 44 of those years! If you will read Seminar #2, you will see that occultists place great faith in numbers. Eleven is one of their most sacred numbers, and multiplications of 11 are also sacred. This is one of the reasons that Freemasons revere the number 33, because it is sacred number 11 times 3, the number of their trinity. (For a more thorough treatise on the subject of the Occult Belief In The Power Of Numbers, download CE1024 & CE1070).

Simply remember this about the power and ability of occultists to achieve their goals:

1. Their power is supernatural, but it is Luciferian

Turn to Job 1:6, for a unique look at the ability of that supernatural being, Satan, to cause havoc in this world. "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.'

Satan's to God answer was, "I was on the earth, going to and fro in it, and walking up and down in it." Now, this is incredible, because we conceive of the earth as being a pretty big place, even by today's modern standards. But, it is not a big place to Satan, for he can just going to and fro and walk up and down in the earth. The picture here is that of you and your garden; you certainly can going to and fro and walk up and down in it, can't you? To you, a garden is not a terribly big place, and you are its undisputed master. The earth is the same type of thing with Satan. For this supernatural demon, the earth is a mighty small place, and its human inhabitants are easy pickings. We humans have no concept of the power of Satan and his demonic host, for not only are they more than a match for any human, they hate all mankind with a vengeance, because we are all "made in the image of God". This brings me to point 2 in my discussion of the power and ability of occultists to achieve their goals.

What Does it mean to "Repent"?

                                                                         

John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible

Repentance: Acts 2:38

Then Peter said unto them,.... Being the mouth of the apostles, and being ready to give advice, and speak a word of comfort to their distressed minds:

repent: change your minds, entertain other thoughts, and a different opinion of Jesus of Nazareth, than you have done; consider him, and believe in him, as the true Messiah and Saviour of the world; look upon him, not any more as an impostor, and a blasphemer, but as sent of God, and the only Redeemer of Israel; change your voice and way of speaking of him, and your conduct towards his disciples and followers; a change of mind will produce a change of actions in life and conversation: bring forth fruits meet for repentance; and make an open and hearty profession of repentance for this your sin. And this the apostle said, to distinguish between a legal and an evangelical repentance; the former is expressed in their being pricked to the heart, on which they were not to depend; the latter he was desirous they might have, and show forth; which springs from the love of God, is attended with views, or at least hopes of pardoning grace and mercy, and with faith in Christ Jesus: it lies in a true sight and sense of sin, under the illuminations and convictions of the Spirit of God; in a sorrow for it, after a godly sort, and because it is committed against a God of love, grace, and mercy, and it shows itself in loathing sin, and in shame for it, in an ingenuous acknowledgement of it, and in forsaking it: and this is moreover urged, to show the necessity of it, as to salvation, for such that God would not have perish, he will have come to repentance; so to their admission to the ordinance of baptism, to which repentance is a pre-requisite; and to which the apostle next advises:

G3341-Strongs Exhaustive Concordance

Μετάνοια  metanoia  met-an'-oy-ah
From G3340; (subjectively) compunction (for guilt, including reformation); by implication reversal (of [another’s] decision): - repentance.

Repentance means death to selfish willfulness, and living according to the dictates of your own heart, and submitting to the dictates of the Holy Spirit and the word of God.  That is reformation and reversal.  Not submitting to the Spirit and word of God is open rebellion and the blood does not cover that.  Repentance is required!

 JESUS SHOWS MERCY- BUT COMMANDS TO REPENT

Joh 5:6  When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

Joh 5:7  The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

Joh 5:8  Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

Joh 5:9  And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

Joh 5:10  The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

Joh 5:11  He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

Joh 5:12  Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

Joh 5:13  And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

Joh 5:14  Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

AGAIN

Joh 8:3  And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

Joh 8:4  They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

Joh 8:5  Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

Joh 8:6  This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

Joh 8:7  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Joh 8:8  And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

Joh 8:9  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

Joh 8:10  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

Joh 8:11  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

 The Gospel defined:

1Co 15:1  Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

1Co 15:2  By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

1Co 15:3  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

1Co 15:4  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Death, Burial, and Resurrection= the Gospel.
How do you obey that? Go here.  If the gospel is Jesus having to die, be buried and raise again, we obey by our death, burial and resurrection by repenting (dying to self lordship) burial (baptism) and resurrection (being filled with the holy spirit).  Acts 2:38.

Jesus didn’t live a life of selfish desires.  He never allowed anything to rule him above the will of God.  He never became a slave to habits/addictions.  Food was necessary but he was not a slave to food.  He drank wine, but never became addicted to it.  It didn’t take rulership of his thoughts and actions.  Could you imagine Jesus letting legitimate debts slide so he could buy lottery scratch off tickets or play Bingo?  Jesus minded the purpose of his father.  Kingdom mindedness we call it.  That’s what denying oneself and taking up his cross is all about.  If you have not turned from your own lordship of your life and turned it over to Jesus to be your lord, you have neglected your own cross, and his cross won’t help you.  You still need to repent!

Act as if you had a mother that taught you better, and you learned how to behave!

These verses just might blow your mind?

Mat 10:34  Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Mat 10:35  For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Mat 10:36  And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Mat 10:37  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Mat 10:38  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Mat 10:39  He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Meaning: if you try to keep your old life, you lose eternal life, and if you will die to self will and submit to Jesus and his word, you will find eternal life.  Repentance is absolutely required.  It doesn't mean, "sorry I'm a sinner", but "I'm sorry enough to stop."

Luk 14:27  And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

Disciple

G190 ἀκολουθέω -akoloutheō   From G1 (as a particle of union) and κέλευθος keleuthos (a road); properly to be in the same way with, that is, to accompany (specifically as a disciple): - follow, reach.

G3100 μαθητεύω -mathēteuō   From G3101; intransitively to become a pupil; transitively to disciple, that is, enroll as scholar: - be disciple, instruct, teach.

G3101 μαθητής -mathētēs   From G3129; a learner, that is, pupil: - disciple.

Discipline-

G3811 παιδεύω -paideuō
From G3816; to train up a child, that is, educate, or (by implication) discipline (by punishment): - chasten (-ise), instruct, learn, teach.

The Danger of Rebellion- of Not Being Disciplined

2Th 1:7  And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

2Th 1:8  In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

2Th 1:9  Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

1Pe 4:11  If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1Pe 4:12  Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

1Pe 4:13  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

1Pe 4:14  If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

1Pe 4:15  But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

1Pe 4:16  Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

1Pe 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

1Pe 4:18  And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

1Pe 4:19  Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Jesus came to save us FROM our sins, not IN or sins.

How are you doing?  Have you repented? 

1Co 6:12
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

All addictions and bad habits must be rejected, turned away from in order for them to not be ruling over you!  No more making excuses for your habits that "Jesus understands and covers by his blood"!  You only hope his blood covers your submission to another lord over your life, but I wouldn't want ot bet my eternity on it.  Are you betting your eternity on it?  Probably a bad bet.

In fact, all undisciplined areas of our lives must be brought unto subjection. 

1Co 9:27  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

 

Understanding the Obama conspiracy & U.S. takeover

They are not coming for our guns,but they are coming for us

The Constitutional government of the United States has been overthrown, and the American people have been captured. The only question now is what are we, as true Americans believing that our Constitution is the one and only law of the land, going to do about it? It’s now simply a matter of what the blowback from the tyranny being thrust upon us will look like, how or even if it will play out.

If you are looking for normal political solutions out of this legal, financial, moral and spiritual mess of a country, I believe that time has long passed. If your hope rests in a change with the midterm elections, go back to sleep or better yet, increase the dosage of your medication. It is clearly evident by the actions and inaction of the spineless or compromised leaders in whom you’ve placed your hope and future, and the future of your children and grandchildren, that doing so again will change nothing. We are a captured operation, and partisan politics is nothing more than theater to divert your attention from the iron fist of tyranny that is about to change life as you know it.

You must understand that our nation today is ruled not by democrats or republicans, but by the party of royalty with a European mindset and a Globalist agenda. The morphing from a two-party system into one of elite royalty did not happen overnight, but incrementally and under the proverbial radar of a deliberately distracted public.Much of what you see, hear and read is a lie so big that you don’t recognize it as a lie, and so bold that it operates without question or impediment right in front of us. There are plenty of writers and talkers who will sugar-coat the lie or participate in political theater for air time, print space or a paycheck, but I refuse to be one of them. Allow me to walk you through my investigative findings into the “Obama conspiracy” to show you just how deep the lie goes. By the end of this summary report, I hope that you will better understand the lie, the objectives of those involved, and the fate intended for us all.

They are not coming for our guns

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against… We’re after power and we mean it… There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.” -Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Would you believe me if I wrote that the government is not after our guns? Probably not, as it certainly looks that way with the pending executive orders and new gun legislation. Well, the guns are secondary. I urge you to think bigger, “think outside of the box.” Make no mistake about this, they will come after our guns, but they are coming after us.

By believing in the Constitution, we’ve earned ourselves a spot on the latest incarnation of the White House enemies list. By supporting the Constitution as the ultimate law of the land, we’ve identified ourselves as an enemy of the state. By “clinging” to our guns and Bibles, we pose a danger to the globalist agenda rooted in socialism, fascism and communism. By understanding that we are being victimized by an out-of-control banking system, we have earned a spot on the “single-cause” terrorist watch list. By becoming informed of the tyranny that exists before us, we have become a threat to their ultimate global objectives.

They are afraid of not just the guns, but of by a well armed and well informed populace that understands the meaning and intent of the Second Amendment. It is the well informed and the well armed that they fear, as they should. The are racing against the clock as we become more informed and better armed. Accordingly, they must act in haste, as they see us rapidly peeling away the layers of lies that have kept them insulated for so long.

Certainly, they will attempt to get our guns, but make no mistake that it’s us, or those unwilling to be serfs, who they are after. Their hunt will be relentless, matching their end-game objective of creating the royal elite while enslaving the unwashed.

Those among us who believe they can talk their way out of an illegal government confiscation by claiming the loss of their guns in some boating accident are self-deluded and not understanding the larger picture. Adherence to this delusion is not only childish and naive, but a dangerous underestimation of the intent of the tyranny that lies before us. We must face what lies ahead like adults and prepare ourselves accordingly.

What lies ahead?

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” -Ecclesiastes 1; 9 (KJV)

The hour is late and time is short. A rapid understanding of the lie and how deep it goes is required right here, right now.

We can briefly look at a few key events that not have changed history, but will also reveal the tyrannical playbook of the global elite that has remained unchanged for the past century.

From the attack on Pearl Harbor to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK, to the Gulf of Tonkin incident through the attack that “changed the world” on September 11, 2001, each event is deeply mired in various levels of deception, controversy, inconsistencies, unanswered questions, and conflicting accounts. The farther we travel away from each event, the less chance the actual truth will ever be made known, at least in time to make a difference. Even worse, reasonable people seeking sensible and honest answers and wanting nothing less than the complete truth are routinely vilified and forced into accepting the “official” accounts of the various events being questioned.

Two of the most recent relevant issues that remain mired in controversy and off limits to inquiring minds are Obama’s eligibility status and the attacks of September 11, 2001. Despite “official accounts” regarding the former, the issue remains a legitimate controversy to the extent that Barack Hussein Obama II, a/k/a Barry Soetoro, has yet to prove his eligibility to hold office under the Constitution of the United States. Despite what has been reported or accepted as fact, Obama has never produced authenticated hardcopy documentation of his Certificate of Live Birth, verification of his social security number and related documentation, his selective service documents, or his official passport records.

Even the most hard-core conservatives have long argued that the entire eligibility matter is a fringe issue unworthy of discussion. Much like the previous controversies referenced, we are forbidden to have a sensible discussion on the matter, at least not without obligatory vilification. Yet, vital and relevant questions remain unanswered amid the requisite obfuscation, diversion and yes, vilification.

We are not permitted to know the bona-fides of the man who is tasked with transforming the United States from a Constitutional Republic into a tyrannical kingdom of royalty and serfs. Questions related to his eligibility are never answered. Instead, they are met with accusations of racism and bigotry where none is ever intended or warranted.

Such questions are also met with objections that the issue distracts from other more important issues. What could be more important than the background and eligibility of the man who holds the most powerful position in our country and arguably, the world? Perhaps never allowing these questions to be addressed was the plan from the start. If so, it’s a tactic that certainly fits with information that follows.

Also, there remain very legitimate and very relevant questions about the attack of September 11, 2001, “the event that changed the world.” Instead of being able to hold a rational, thoughtful discourse about valid concerns, any questions are met with accusations that those asking the questions are lunatics enamored by delusions of some grand conspiracy. Are we not entitled to answers about an event that resulted in the creation of governmental policies and agencies that are responsible for the most intrusive attacks on the liberties of every American?

From the attacks of 9/11 to Obama’s eligibility to even the most basic questions surrounding the recent Sandy Hook school shooting (yes, there are inconsistencies in need of answers), we cannot have a reasonable discussion without being castigated and marginalized as conspiracy nuts. You see that the stage for asking such questions has been set throughout time. After all, who are we, the unwashed masses, to question our “leaders” about anything of substance?

Now, those of us who seek only the truth must fight against the putrid hubris of the likes of Obama and his minions, the Clintons, the Feinsteins, the Cuomos, New York Mayor Bloomberg, and others who hold the reins of power. To be completely honest and fair, such unbridled hubris extends to those on the right as well, including the members of Bush dynasty, John Boehner, Lindsey Graham and countless others. Again, we are not governed by political parties, but ruled by royalty who have erected firewalls of protection against the common people, us - the serfs.

Although they did not create the current perspective, they most assuredly embraced and advanced it. How dare we, the uninitiated and unwashed, question their words and actions?

Their tasks become easier as they have firmly entrenched their advance teams within the press to further their objectives. They know the power of the airwaves and print, and use the likes of Piers Morgan, the chameleon for the modern day Camelot and arguably a man with no love for our Constitutional Republic to do their bidding. The political right has similar truth suppressors who trade their morals and integrity for a paycheck, and the future of our nation for a promised seat at the table of power. And we, the people who have built this nation with the sweat of our brow and the skin from our knuckles, are scolded like children when we dare ask for the truth.

Such is the perspective or the backdrop from which we must now operate.

Obama: selected to be the last president

America is more than a piece of land. It is a mindset, an ideology that was founded on the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Our founders left England and established our great nation to rid themselves of the oppression we are seeing return with even greater force and oppressiveness. But something happened to many of us over the years to make us more accepting of the British or European model of governance, which is exactly what we are seeing take over our nation. It is the push for globalism, a global governance, a singular mindset drafted and choreographed by the most rich and powerful families of the world.

As Americas, we’ve been set up. Perhaps it began in 1913, when America was force fed the lie of our current and corrupt monetary system with the establishment of the Federal Reserve. Then came the creation of the Internal Revenue Service, which was a consolidation of power regulating our wealth. From the League of Nations to the United Nations, the push for consolidation of power by the few to rule the many has been the objective.

As we progressed through the Twentieth century, can we now look back and see with increasing clarity that Communist infiltration of nearly every branch of government, our centers of higher learning and all schools, compliments of the creation of the Department of Education, as well as the media? Can we now see with clarity that America, too strong to be taken down from the outside, is being taken down from within?

Can any rational, sane person explain the run-up to, and consequences of the financial crisis of 2008? Our unbridled debt of over 16 TRILLION dollars? As you watch the evening news or listen to political pundits talk of recovery and improving economic conditions, do you wonder what planet they are from, or whether they actually believe their lies? Do you honestly believe that we had fair elections in 2012? How about 2008, 2004 or even 2000?

America was set up from the inside to be destroyed. Our children have been sold into slavery to illegal debt created by a cabal of central banks based… in London. Perhaps that’s the reason Barack Hussein Obama, or whatever his real name is, is so reluctant to show his papers, as perhaps he’s really a British citizen, as his father, who hailed from Kenya, was actually a British subject, which would make Obama a British national.

Could it be that we’ve been taken over once again by the British empire? Is European socialism being used a as a stepping stone to Communism and then to global governance, or a “New World Order?”

When the American dollar collapses, and it must, which country will play a major role in replacing our defunct economic system? Great Britain? So, in one fell swoop, America will become beholden to Great Britain and all of its laws once again.

People like Michael Savage, who is already on Her Majesty’s radar might want to consider those implications.

Perhaps that’s why Piers Morgan is smirking and acting as if he owns America.

In any event, what are we, true American patriots and not just keyboard warriors, prepared to do about it? The time to decide is now. The time to act will be soon.

The Bible Is the Best Safeguard Against False Doctrine

http://christianresearchnetwork.org/2013/01/17/the-bible-is-the-best-safeguard-against-false-doctrine/

The works and words of J.C. Ryle have spoken wisdom and truth into the lives of many Christians. In the book, Warnings to the Churches, Ryle addresses the many dangers facing the church in his time, dangers that continue to run rampant today. In discussing the perils of chasing after “diverse and strange doctrines” (Heb. 13:9), Ryle emphasizes the great importance for all Christians to be avid readers and students of the Scriptures. The Bible, after all, is the best weapon to wield against the devices of Satan.

Many things combine to make the present inroad of false doctrine peculiarly dangerous. There is an undeniable zeal in some of the teachers of error: their ‘earnestness’ (to use an unhappy cant phrase) makes many think they must be right. There is a great appearance of learning and theological knowledge: many fancy that such clever and intellectual men must surely be safe guides. There is a general tendency to free thought and free inquiry in these latter days: many like to prove their independence of judgment by believing novelties. There is a widespread desire to appear charitable and liberal-minded: many seem half ashamed of saying that anybody can be in the wrong. There is a quantity of half-truth taught by the modern false teachers: they are incessantly using Scriptural terms and phrases in an unscriptural sense. There is a morbid craving in the public mind for a more sensuous, ceremonial, sensational, showy worship: men are impatient of inward, invisible heart-work. There is a silly readiness in every direction to believe everybody who talks cleverly, lovingly, and earnestly, and a determination to forget that Satan is often ‘transformed into an angel of light’ (2 Cor. 11:14). There is a widespread ‘gullibility’ among professing Christians: every heretic who tells his story plausibly is sure to be believed, and everybody who doubts him is called a persecutor and a narrow-minded man. All these things are peculiar symptoms of our times. I defy any observing man to deny them. They tend to make the assaults of false doctrine in our day peculiarly dangerous. They make it more than ever needful to cry aloud, ‘Be not carried about.’
Does any one ask me, ‘What is the best safeguard against false doctrine?’ I answer in one word, ‘The Bible: the Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.’ We must go back to the old prescription of our Master: ‘Search the Scriptures’ (John 5:39). If we want a weapon to wield against the devices of Satan, there is nothing like ‘the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God.’ But to wield it successfully, we must read it habitually, diligently, intelligently, and prayerfully. This is a point on which, I fear, many fail. In an age of hurry and bustle, few read their Bibles as much as they should. More books perhaps are read than ever, but less of the one Book which makes man wise unto salvation. Rome and neology could never have made such havoc in the church in the last fifty years if there had not been a most superficial knowledge of the Scriptures throughout the land. A Bible-reading laity is the strength of a church….
If we would not be carried about by ‘diverse and strange doctrines,’ we must remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ: ‘Search the Scriptures.’ Ignorance of the Bible is the root of all error. Knowledge of the Bible is the best antidote against modern heresies.

A Lightning Bolt of Insight Regarding Obama and the Media!

Amazing things happen when you pray to the Holy Spirit for vision and clarity. If you are old enough to remember enjoying playing with a kaleidoscope, you know how a slight twist of a wrist can dramatically alter the view. After reading several emails from CFP friends and hearing several comments on talk radio, I enjoyed a lightning bolt of insight regarding Obama and the media

The same people who are intent upon destroying the U. S. are those who have been surreptitiously infusing sustainable development/U. N. Agenda 21 across the globe for twenty years. This agenda is wholly unconstitutional and encompasses all of the attacks being waged upon the American citizen and taxpayer. They have infiltrated and corrupted both major political parties, our Federal government, electoral process and legal system. Several dons are American traitors, others are just greedy narcissists from Europe and elsewhere who get their jollies by controlling and hurting others. They have teamed with equally greedy and narcissistic middle-level sellouts (U. S. President, VP, members of Congress and the SCOTUS, union thug management and lobbyists). Together, they use the unwitting, low hanging fruit within society as pawns to ram their perdition upon the distracted proletariat on the global chessboard.

These puppeteers are doubly dangerous. They hate people and they work in the shadows in pushing people’s buttons and pressing their agenda. Each crisis is an opportunity to pour rock salt into the wounds they have inflicted upon us. People’s faith in God, our constitution, national sovereignty and personal freedoms must give way to a globalist agenda in which self-appointed elitists control the lives of the great unwashed. They employ their expertise within the media to pull the strings of people’s emotion. Common sense, morals and ethics are overpowered by people’s emotions purposely aroused by the media. They don’t build consensus, they impose their myopic consensus by employing the Cold War ruse called the Delphi Technique, along with incorporating the Hegelian Dialectic.

Gun control, indoctrination in lieu of education, attacks upon people’s religious beliefs, degraded healthcare, higher taxes, draconian regulations, open/porous borders, a reduced quality of life, alleged racism, a weakened military, the juxtaposition of patriots and terrorists/traitors, etc., all play prominently in the grand scheme of destroying the U. S., herding us into a global, sustainable, and controlled society. What an oxymoronic Utopia, but many people buy into the lies of the puppeteers!

But, as Ron Popeil was known to say, ‘There’s still more!’ The elites have mastered ways to offload employee compensation by using taxpayer money to control the masses.

Unemployment ‘compensation’ has become the ‘new normal,’ buying people’s silence and civility, ‘gently’ tightening the noose of elitist control around the unsuspecting beneficiaries.

Additionally, grant funding allows the stealth diverting of taxpayer monies to fund the elitists’ Communist agenda. Adding fuel to the fire they have ignited, they know higher tax rates result in lower tax revenues. This is part of the equation for destroying a thriving economy and free people. After all, they control how taxes are levied on various sources of income, so they care little about tax rates on ‘earned income;’ that is so not bourgeoisie. The elitists play the masses for fools, realizing that their media comrades are in place to marginalize anyone who speaks the truth.

God was invited by our Founding Fathers to oversee our escape from the tyranny of one monarch and the establishment of an entirely different form of governance. We now live under the tyranny of 546 monarchs and ‘monarchettes’ within our Federal government and their gutless accomplices who lurk in the shadows of society. It is time for men, women and children of faith, who love our blessed country, to implore Almighty God to provide us with a backdoor escape from the hellish nightmare being foisted upon us by the elites of the world at our expense.
