Fortunately, God repects a/the remnant.
If TEC’s scorched earth policy is a sign of things to come then with time paganized ‘Christians’ will occupy the buildings and possess the wealth (earthly bread) handed over by the remnant who much prefer the Heavenly manna of our Lord.
Amen
Look for America and the west to be the new missionary fields of the Christians that are coming from the “global south” nations to bring back the good news of the Gospel of Jesus.
She’s spot on. It’s an excellent exercise to read those verses in Hebrew. The LORD is Yahweh. Baal also means owner or lord. Israel is God strives.
Our biggest challenge is government because religion in general stands against its authority. We will need a broad coalition of religious, including Muslims, bound together by the desire for religious liberty to defeat governments encroachment. Government is the natural enemy of religion. Government tolerates no other gods.
We are definitely seeing some dangerous practices creeping into our churches, very prevalent are:
Contemplative Spirituality: A belief system that uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness (the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped in Christian terminology. The premise of contemplative spirituality is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all). Common terms used for this movement are "spiritual formation," "the silence," "the stillness," "ancient-wisdom," "spiritual disciplines," and many others.
Spiritual Formation: A movement that has provided a platform and a channel through which contemplative prayer is entering the church. Find spiritual formation being used, and in nearly every case you will find contemplative spirituality. In fact, contemplative spirituality is the heartbeat of the spiritual formation movement.
Any of you who would like to read more about these dangerous anti-Christian movements, there is an excellent site that has done a lot of research .... www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com You will be surprised and amazed to find out some of the sources of these movements that you might never have suspected.
Also, Ashtoreth is interesting to ponder. She’s androgynous and we’re seeing that in human sexuality. She’s the god of love (sex, not agape) and war.

Sheen was an evolutionist.
“.....the fact that millions of Americans claim a divine right to their own spiritual cocoon and belief system.” Americans, “now lay claim to their ‘own personal Jesus.’
But isn't this the entire point of good ol' American Protestantism's "separation of church and state?" And how most American conservatives would scream if someone suggested that it's time to move beyond this failing system to a recognition of objective religious truth with legitimate authorities!
PS: The title has nothing to do with the article. What is this, another attempt to make the Hebrew Bible a (lehavdil) chrstian book?
Just a reminder: Resentment is an ugly thing ZC.
Thank-you for the info. It’s my understanding that kundalini spirit is coming in with the two practices you’ve listed. Do you find this to be true?
If you liked the other link, another one you will learn a LOT from is the Fuel Project from a wonderful pastor in Ireland (I am assuming you are from Ireland too, so you may already have heard him). He has a series of youtube videos called "know your enemy" which explain in great detail the beginning of the origin, significance, and dangers of the New Word Order (reemergence of the mystery religion of Babylonia) which encompass all of what we are taking about here today. I thought I knew a lot about all this, till I watched his videos, and found out just how much more there is to learn about it all and the extreme danger it posses for us today. Watch them all in order as the build upon each other to tell the whole "story."
Once again, thank-you for the links. As for kundalini, yes, it is from India and is related to kundalini yoga. The result of the final initiation into godhood is the possession of the guru by kundalini—or some other spirit such as Shiva.
I’m currently reading John MacArthur’s “Strange Fire: The Danger of Offending the Holy Spirit with Counterfeit Worship.” This book may be of interest to you:
“In Strange Fire, bestselling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement. He lays out a chilling case for rejecting its false prophets, speaking out against their errors, showing true reverence to the Holy Spirit, and above all clinging to the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claims must be tested.”
MacArthur concludes that a false spirit is behind such things as “slain in the spirit” speaking in tongues, roaring like lions, psychic powers, etc.
Thank you. I will certainly have to get that book to read.
Read ANY MSM publication or listen to the TV/radio spectrum.
Is the word SIN ever typed/spoken?
Words such as “sin” “judgment” and “hell” have largely disappeared from vast numbers of churches more interested in quantity rather than quality, conformity rather than holiness, and feel-good psychology rather than sin.
“I understand what Spirited is saying and people like David Berlinski may see ID as a ‘closed system’, however I do not. I am a Christian but ID is not a Christian movement “
Spirited: Thank-you for explaining your position. The ID movement is well-known to me, including that some of its members favor closed systems while others are brilliant thinkers who are open about their faith in the God of creation.
The latter have my respect as men of courage and unwavering conviction.

I think the Fuel Project is actually out of Scotland. Nevertheless, ALL of his series are incredible. Time WELL spent tuning in!
