Between the Ebola ‘Pandemic Panic,’ (which increasingly looks orchestrated, because what leadership could POSSIBLY be doing such incredibly stupid things OTHER than deliberately?) the march toward WW III, and the continuing slow-motion economic meltdown, it is clear to those with “eyes to see” that there are many plagues close at hand.
More and more somewhat ‘mainstream,’ evangelical leaders are slowly beginning to wake up to the fact that something is horribly wrong, as well. But the rapture hasn’t happened yet, so some suffer from a bit of cognitive dissonance. Can it still get much worse, many are asking?
Ultimately, the answer is relatively simple, and it’s been in Scripture all along. But if you’ve been lied to (Jeremiah 16:19 again) all along by a so-called ‘church’ that teaches His “Law” has been done away with and most of the ‘old’ testament is now immaterial anyway, no wonder it’s hard to recognize just how pagan much of what replaced His Truth truly is.
I recently attempted to begin a dialog with a few well-known Christian teachers who are beginning to question a few of the things they have been taught, and certainly see some of the Big Lies from the politicians and their paid propagandists, but who still have difficulty with the ‘come out of her’ concept. Licensed ‘gay marriage’ and subpoenas of sermons seem to have gotten their attention. It was a call from a listener, asking about “pagan church traditions,” and why do we care anyway, that prompted my response.
Since many others will face similar situations, whether with family or simply as ‘watchmen’, here is a bit of that “open letter,” following my introduction.
Dear XXX and YYY,
…
While you seem to understand about the pagan origins of Xmas and the Ishtar/Easter, including Jeremiah 10, unfortunately, you fired off a .22 round with your response about WHY we must reject pagan tradition, when Scripture is full of heavy artillery. Do you think the Father might be just a LITTLE disgusted to have what is arguably the Most Important Event in human history re-named after a pagan goddess? He tells us, over and over again, how He HATES idolatry. And Bible history shows us why: we are STILL exile for that rebellion.
See the following:
Deuteronomy chapter 7 (esp. vv. 25-26, the end).
Deuteronomy chapter 12.
And Deuteronomy chapter 13, where He makes it SO clear that those who entice us (be they priests, pastors, or popes) to follow “other gods” are NOT His! When He tells us “not to learn the ways” of the pagans, or to do the things they do and call it “worship” of Him, He is blunt. And unequivocal. We are to hate those idols (Xmas trees, Ishtar eggs died in the blood of sacrificed children, and so on). “The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.”
Don’t even bring such an abomination into your house:
Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. (Deut. 7:25-26)
And note this, too — the penalty for such idolatry is (among other things) – plagues. Deuteronomy 28:60-61 even warns that not ONLY will He “bring back the plagues of Egypt” – but OTHER ones, too, even new ones NOT Written in this Book! I can’t help but think they might even be patented, like Ebola.
That’s obviously just a start. The bottom line is that we are commanded (Deut. 4:2, Deut 12:32, and the “very last command in the Book” at the end of Revelation) not to “add to” or “subtract from” what is Written. Yahushua railed at the “hypocrites” of His day (Scribes and Pharisees, etc) for doing exactly what the ‘church’ has been doing ever since! The reason this doesn’t get ‘preached’ is not ONLY that the 501c(3) Whore Church serves “another Jesus, whom we have not preached.” It’s that they teach that His “law” has been “done away with” – and that’s an even Bigger Lie.
Think of it this way. If we live in a world which believes that the Creator of the Universe can’t make up His mind, and “did away with” His own Written Law (when He said otherwise, in places like Matthew 5:17-19) —
why would we believe the Constitution, or ANY law of mere men, would fare any better?
Finally – who is the ‘creator’ of a licensed “church”? Hint: Look at the certificate of incorporation; it will tell you. And it isn’t YHVH, Elohim of the Bible – although it was supposed to be. The old common law saying is, “if you take the king’s money, you play the kings’ tune.” Yahushua the Meshiach said, after asking “whose image and inscription?” that we are to “render unto Caesar what is his.” Can you begin to see how not ONLY is the fake god of the ‘almighty state’ legally correct in requiring ITS creation to say “how high” when he says ‘jump’, but also that THROUGHOUT Scripture our True Creator and King has warned us OVER and over again NOT to fall into that trap!
“No one can serve two masters, he will love one and hate the other.”
In legaleze [sic] the term is “by agreement,” meaning, ‘by contract’, and as a consequence of entering into ‘commerce.’ With a little thought, it becomes apparent why we are so rapidly headed to a place where “no one will buy or sell [again, commerce]” without a “mark“.
EVERYTHING* that is being done to us (just as in Nazi Germany) is being done “legally”. In the Bible, the story that applies most obviously is Jacob and Esau, who “traded his birthright for a cup of pottage.” (And, note, “Jacob I have loved, Esau I hated,” says YHVH.) Ben Franklin warned that “those who would trade essential liberty for a little temporary security deserve neither.” And we’re there.
On briefly to marriage, His as opposed to the ‘almight state’.
Amerika (with a K) has been licensing “marriage” since essentially the New Deal. (The history is sordid, and dates to “intermarriage” licensing. Now that all of Caesar’s sheeple have been made again into slaves, the concept has been extended.) Again, it’s “by agreement” — NOWHERE in the Constitution is the power (Art. 1, Sec 7,8, etc) to say ANYTHING about marriage or family delegated to the central government. YHVH the Creator defined marriage, and for man to attempt to redefine His Word is yet another indicator of what is going on; the state plays god.
The key thing to observe is that NOWHERE, not once, in all of the Bible does a “man of God” ask permission of ANYONE but the Father (or fathers, his own and his isha-to-be) to marry. Not one of His people – from Adam, to Abraham, to Moses and so on – ever goes to a king, pope, priest, pretender, or civil magistrate to ask for permission to do what He ordains. BUT — if you DO ask permission, and enter into contract before “another master” — beware the fine print! (It’s called “adherent contracts” in legalese. Ask “child protective services” whose children the village really owns.)
The same thing goes for “gay” marriage. Once you begin to ask permission from “another master” to do that which YHVH forbids, why are we surprised to see good called “evil,” and evil, “good”? There’s much more** — but perhaps you begin to see the point. YHVH Himself, and what He ordains, has been rejected — both by the Almighty State and its licensed “church”.
Finally, see the end of the Book of Isaiah, chapter 66. It has never been more clear:
“…Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.” (Isaiah 66:3-4)
——————————-
* for now. We’re getting to the point that I talk about as well, where the “two P’s” of PRESUMPTION and PRECEDENT will allow Big Brother to dispense entirely with even the pretense of “agreement”.
Most of us now know Christians who are becoming concerned about the contradictions between what they have been TOLD Scripture says, and what is actually Written. So now is the time to be ready to “give an answer to every man that asketh you,” a reason for the understanding we have, and the “hope that is in you.”
