A while back I asked Is Your Pastor Going to Suck Up to antichrist Benedict XVI? Well now we know who did and I must say I’m unpleasantly shocked to see who was in attendance.

Hat tip Jesus Christology.

And below is a video, that shows another similar event, that was even more insane. But it shows exactly where it’s all really headed.

Many saints are doing all they can to warn about avoiding the cult of Mary. Because while we who send the warnings may not always agree with each other on every single doctrinal point, this much we know and agree on clearly. ROMAN CATHOLICISM IS A CULT, IT’S TAKING MANY INTO DECEPTION AND FAITH ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ALONE IS YOUR ONLY HOPE!

(As always, efforts to promote the cult of Mary are not allowed in comments here, 2 John 1:10-11)

The video offers some good examples and a short explanation of truth at the end.

Notice also, that in addition to the misguided “slain in the spirit” activity, that goes on many places, around 3:20 of the video counting up you see supposed debates with demons and I think some were supposed to be debates with the devil too. Also notice the DEMANDING tone used when addressing the Lord Jesus, as if they can make demands of God. Let me make this clear to you Christians, you have no place to speak to God in a demanding tone, no standing for having a back and forth debate with “demons”, acting as if you can shout a demon out by continual yelling has no biblical foundation and you should never spend time supposedly debating, arguing or shouting at the devil. Of course since you should not be spending time debating, arguing or shouting at the devil, you should not do any supposed long winded theatrics with demons either.

Why you don’t sit around having yelling theatrics with demons.

Notice the actions of Paul when he encountered a real demon.

Paul was not calling for the woman to stop drinking and acting like she had some contrived “drinking spirit”. Things like drunkenness, sexual immorality and other sinful behaviors are of the flesh. (It’s not a demon if you do such things, it’s you!) Not some “demon” to cast out of someone. And a Christian sealed with the Holy Spirit can’t be inhabited by a demon. Please read Galatians 5.

In Acts 16:16-18 quoted above, notice Paul’s response was short, swift and a command towards the demon in the name of Jesus Christ. It was not a yelling demand at the Lord as if Jesus was his servant, but a command to the demon in the name of Jesus Christ. The response was immediate. Not some lengthy debating forum. If you were to actually encounter someone with a demon and that demon does not move when you command it in the name of Jesus Christ to go. You need to get yourself away and off into prayer. You might even want to turn down your plate for a while. If it does not move when you command it in the name of Jesus Christ to leave, that means you are not equipped to deal with what you attempted to command leave a person, Mark 9:14-29. (Notice Jesus, being God in flesh gave one command of Himself. The demon did it’s own theatrics, but Jesus gave one command and explained why the others could not remove it.)

And there are cases where you are not even to attempt casting out some things many attempt to “cast out”. I think this is best explained in Stan’s post: The New Apostolic Reformation: some of its shapers and methods. They’re also targeting our youth.

Why you should not sit around trying to have a yelling match with the devil.

This scripture also explains why you don’t sit around acting like you’re going to yell down angels or yell at God and such. This one passage of scripture encapsulates why what occurred in the video above is much error.

We don’t sit having yelling matches with or at supernatural beings. If it is of evil, we rebuke it in the Lord’s name and leave it at that. On the opposite end, we don’t speak to angels of God as if they are dogs we command from Heaven. And last, but most importantly, we don’t yell at our Lord as if He is someone we can address as we might a child we send to their room.

Do not follow the ways of the false teachers, they lead many to destruction.

The Vice Presidential picks of US Presidential candidates John Sidney McCain III and Barack Hussein Obama Jr. have left me at the position I was at already. No way I’d vote for either man. Not that their VP picks would have suddenly caused me to endorse either candidate, but their selections have done nothing to make me say “at least they made a good pick for VP”. Their selections leave me saying this only further proves why I don’t support either candidate and even proves that both of the major parties are on a continual bad course. But scripture (the Bible with 66 books) said things in the affairs of men would trend in a bad way, so consider this post documentation affirming the veracity of scripture. These picks show it to me personally. If you disagree and are a Christian, may we both continue to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Trusting the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. But if you’re not a Christian, never mind this post, get over to John 3 and learn about Jesus Christ.

The bottom line is, both VP picks continue a trend of dominionism, falsely wrapped as something Jesus rubber stamped.

Let’s start with Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior, aka Joe Biden. First this guy is part of Roman Catholicism. He’s not just part of it, Obama himself stated that Joe is a “devout Catholic”. Now some in Roman Catholicism might take issue with Biden’s view of abortion, but he’s one who would kiss the ring of the antichrist pope if invited to do so. Obama picked Biden in part, in case he needed someone to assume the role of President. Which would leave America with a chief executive who is devout to Rome. Roman influence dominating America, equals Roman Catholic dominionism. And it is something Rome (the antichrist Pope) very much desires, that they (he) rule the affairs of the entire planet!

Oh and I’ve got so many other issues with Joe, even if he were not part of the cult of Mary, I’ve got a list of old posts about the man you can review:

• Flashback: Other Racist Statements by Senator Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
• Racist US Senator Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. Does it Again!
• US Senator Joseph Biden Equates Saddam Hussein Hanging to Abu Ghraib. (Video)

And then there is Sarah Louise Heath Palin, aka Sarah Palin. My brother Job has the details about her covered over at his blog Jesus Christology. See the posts:

• Sarah Palin’s Pentecostal Former Pastor: Alaska Will Be Place Of Refuge During Great Tribulation And PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE GEORGE BUSH WILL GO TO THE LAKE OF FIRE!
• Sarah Palin’s Fascist Dominionist Theology

And you might also want to check out my old post titled: How Roman Catholicism and Word of Faith Gets it Wrong. Hyper charismatics and Roman Catholics have some sad parallels.

David King, Pastor of Concord Baptist in Chattanooga, TN has a post on the church’s blog, that is a good read titled Abortion and the Early Church.

The bottom line is, that as it is in scripture, the church has always recognized abortion as murder in the womb.

Now the Law makes it clear the loss of a life in the womb is 100% equivalent to the loss of a human life outside of the womb. God sees absolutely no difference, life is life, regardless of where that life resides. Whether in the womb or outside of it, God sees it as life just the same and taught man in the Law that it is.

Of course we don’t seek personal private vengeance.

Which is why we don’t go after anyone involved in abortions, to put them in some contrived church prison. However, laws of men to maintain respect of life are not a bad thing. To never shed innocent blood and not murder is consistent in the commands of Christ and His Apostles. So given they taught murder is sin, MURDER IN THE WOMB IS STILL SIN. Although Exodus 21:22-25 is under Mosaic Law, the church is bound to never approve of murder given scripture such as Romans 13:9-10. We know the Law is for murderers, 1 Timothy 1:8-11.

Abortion is murder and no Christian should ever approve of it. Christians should stand against it as against any other form of murder. And lives inside the womb cannot be taken or thought of as in any way less than lives outside of the womb.

I was doing a little study of the Hippocratic Oath and learned that once upon a time, even pagans fully respected life in the womb and refused to be party to abortion.

Please take time to listen to the entire hour and a half presentation: Ron Carlson: Freemasonry & Masonic Lodge. Please reserve comments till you’ve listened to it in full. (I don’t endorse all the other material at the site which offers an online copy of the presentation, but Dr. Carlson’s presentation alone.)

I listened to the presentation, started cross checking claimed quotes and even looked into Masonic efforts to attack Dr. Carlson’s presentation. For the quotes I verified I’ve linked them below. At one point I was using a copy of Masonic materials on their The Supreme Council, 33°, Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction, USA of Freemasonry web site. Later I found a copy of one of the books in Google Books (Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, By Albert Pike, which is Carlson’s main reference about Freemasonry), which was easier to follow along with. So my link sources vary. Dr. Carlson mentions in his presentation the materials were once hard to acquire, but they are obviously more readily available today. Masons claim their books were always easy to access, but I have doubts.

Below I show the results of my own checking of statements Dr. Carlson attributes to being in Masonic materials. I reviewed the material personally, to see whether the quotes cited were being used as Dr. Carlson claims they apply in his presentation.

First quote, about Masons in the Blue degrees imagining they know things and being INTENTIONALLY MISLED!

2nd quote, about how rites of initiation became progressively more complicated. So just a favored few would know the “more valuable secrets” and “wield effectually the influence and power of the Order”

3rd quote, about all Mysteries being kept concealed.
The Mason page attacking Dr. Carlson is correct to say Pike was quoting a statement made by Roman Catholic St. Ambrose, Archbishop of Milan. But Carlson’s citation of that quote is in proper context. Because Pike is clearly trying to establish that there should be secrets in Freemasonry and trying to use quotes from others to establish that. The Freemasons don’t recognize that we Christians don’t hold any regard for the words of a Roman Catholic, so those words really did not originally come from someone we Christian respect, Ambrose is respected by Roman Catholics. It is an abuse of scripture to claim Matthew 7:6 asserts that secrets must be kept regarding things of truth. When Matthew 7 is read in full context one sees that verse is regarding trying to help someone that is out of order. Not intentionally keeping secrets from someone who is being shown truth. In this the Freemason’s efforts to attack Dr. Carlson only show they are deluded and on cult foundation. Given the proven desire to mislead, this makes any defense from Freemasonry suspect.

The Masonic defense includes their mention of (regarding Ron Carlson):

(3) He ignores that Pike wrote in his preface that “every one is entirely free to reject and dissent from whatsoever herein may seem to be untrue or unsound.”

That statement from Pike is like saying you can join the church of Satan, but you can just ignore what you don’t like. Once someone knows the full details of Freemasonry, the only option is to reject the organization and its tenants in full. Christians are not to be bound with unbelievers, 2 Corinthians 6:14.

4th quote, about maintaining a veil of secrecy. In that particular quote Pike was speaking about the Hierophants use of secrecy and speaks of various other groups, to legitimize the secrecy he was promoting in Freemasonry.

5th quote, about every Masonic lodge being a temple of religion. What is interesting is that Carlson is spot on in his citation and it is clear the Masons are promoting a religion. But in other statements Pike tries to deny it and the Masons try and defend that they are not promoting a religion, by saying Pike was actually speaking of Universalism. So really they are promoting the heresy of Universalism and their own defenders admit as much. See a Freemason defense that proves it below.

There a Freemason attempting to defend the cult for charges of it being a cult actually supports the facts that Freemasonry really is a cult. A cult of Universalism. They feel they are OK, because they require their members to believe in “God”, but who is this God? We see clearly, it is Baal. The belief that everybody’s belief in a “God” is somehow equal. Never ever noting that without Jesus Christ one does not have the Father, which leaves Freemasonry’s talk of “religion” as being totally antichrist, 1 John 2:22-23.

6th quote, about Masonry claiming to be the custodian and depository of the great philosophical and religious truths, unknown to the world at large.

7th quote, that Masonry is a worship and the universal religion. Again the admission that Freemasonry promotes the heresy of Universalism. Seeking salvation by works, which are their “sacrifices”. The cult fails to promote that salvation is by grace, through faith on the Lord Jesus, which involves a broken spirit and contrite heart, this is what pleases God, not works apart from Christ, which alone are as filthy rags, Ephesians 2:4-10, Psalm 51:17 and Isaiah 64:6.

8th quote, the Masonic claim that all religions have a basis of truth and that in all there is pure morality.

9th quote, about how Freemasonry brings together people of all various faiths, to unite in prayer to the same god.

10th quote, about how kings that worship different deities can unite as brethren in Freemasonry.

11th quote, about how Masonry reverences “all the great reformers” , including Confucius, Zoraster, Arabian Iconcolast, Moses and Jesus too. This is nothing but Universalism. This is the cult of Baal that claims it is not!

12 quote, about the first Masonic Legislator being Buddha.

13th quote, that all Masons must believe in one God and be tolerant of all religions.

14th quote, that Masons feel if there was no written revelation (like the Bible) that he could do good of his own instinct. Basically that man can find God of his own self effort in his own heart, contradicting Jeremiah 17:9 and Matthew 15:19.

15th quote, about a belief in natural human (nature) religion.

16th quote, claiming ancient nations had private worship with secrets only told to those passing through an initiation process. An effort to justify the secrecy in Freemasonry.

17th quote, claims Masonry to be the successor of the ancient mysteries. Dr. Carlson also mentions another statement from another page, about powers being nature gods.

At this point, I was 32 minutes or so into Dr. Carlson’s presentation. (And had already spent many days going just 32 minutes, checking and cross checking and reviewing counter arguments by Masons.) I could continue cross checking and verifying Carlson’s quotes from Masonic cult material, but I feel the point is obvious. Dr. Carlson’s presentation is rather sound. If any true errors are in the presentation, they don’t dismiss that Free Masonry is a total and absolute cult. Masonic efforts to attack Carlson only prove to me Carlson is correct and they are spin doctors, based on researching their claims versus what is in their own materials. So after about the 32 minute mark I didn’t do as much deep investigative work and mostly listened, because I find Dr. Ron Carlson’s findings to be rather solid. Masons also take issue with Carlson noting a quote of Albert Pike saying “Lucifer is God”, but their claims of Leo Taxil calling the quotation a hoax of his own making came decades after the quote was documented and could very well be a Masonic cover-job. We have no way to confirm with certainty that Leo Taxil documented the quote. Even without that quote, the rest of the evidence direct from Masonic materials proves the teachings of Free Masonry are the doctrines of men and in service of the devil. All Christians should have no association at all with Freemasonry.

At this point one witness is speaking openly and don’t be at all surprised if more come forward.

Is Bishop Jakes still GAY?

TD Jakes becomes a conduit for false homosexual theology

Others who know the truth are not to remain silent while leaven grows in what is claimed to be the House of God, 1 Corinthians 5. Considering 1 Timothy 5:19-21 and the fact it is not to be carried out with any partiality, others that know what Richard Youngblood knows should speak up. I’m not telling anyone to accept seeing TD Jakes as a homosexual based off one man’s statements, but you should be aware that Youngblood’s statements have been made openly to the public and consider how softly TD Jakes has been walking on the issue of homosexuality lately. Plenty of details are in the “Related posts” below. Of course even if TD Jakes is the world’s most faithful husband, who never looked at another woman or man since his wedding day. TD Jakes promotes so many false doctrines and heresies, that he’s still very much a man to avoid. That is also in the “Related posts” below.

I’m not asking you to “receive” this accusation, but rather be aware it has been made and don’t be surprised if more come. Given TD Jakes’ other issues, you should already be as far away from him as humanly possible. But it looks like more may be coming and it’s likely to get very ugly. Some of us have known for some time that there were witnesses of this out there and I just wanted you to know that one has spoken. I will leave it there for now, until and unless more witnesses come forward.

The ones to avoid.

Avoid their destructive heresies.

Never mind that I’m not into the “bishop of bishops” structure of COGIC. (And you who know about Tertullian mocking Callistus, you know that “bishop of bishops” has some history to it.) I know that many who are Christians (not Roman Catholics) hold Charles E. Blake in high regard. Problem is, I don’t understand WHY. WHY would anyone hold in high regard a man who so blatantly latches himself onto a political party and carries water for politicians? WHY would anyone respect a man who openly pressures them to choose taking money from unbelievers by force of government as a supposedly good and charitable thing to redistribute wealth, while knowing the same group endorses shedding of innocent blood and special recognition towards people engaged in abominable activity is stunning. (I’ve never read where the church is to take any money from unbelievers for wealth redistribution.)

Check out the post over at I’m Speaking Truth titled Faith In Action?

Notice how in Blake’s speech, he speaks of lives in the womb as “the unborn” and speaks as if “the unborn” can somehow be thought of less than the concerns of people outside of the womb. As if millions of innocent babies slaughtered in the womb is somehow less of importance than taking money from a rich man by force for redistribution.

Charles E. Blake has fully latched himself to the hip of the Democratic Party and tried at the same time to justify it by lowering the importance of the issue of abortion. Instead of being separate from the politics of man and representing the church, Charles E. Blake has attached himself fully to the politics of man. I just think it’s disgusting!

Also, see the tap dancing Blake has done in the past in some old posts over at Gay Christian Movement Watch.

• Our response to Bishop Blake’s letter

I feel Charles E. Blake is a man to avoid. That’s not to say I’m against all who are in COGIC, but Charles E. Blake is not a voice I can respect.
