But the rapture hasn&#8217;t happened yet, so some suffer from a bit of cognitive dissonance. Can it still get much worse, many are asking?<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the answer is relatively simple, and it&#8217;s been in Scripture all along. But if you&#8217;ve been lied to (Jeremiah 16:19 again) all along by a so-called &#8216;church&#8217; that teaches His \u201cLaw\u201d has been done away with and most of the &#8216;old&#8217; testament is now immaterial anyway, no wonder it&#8217;s hard to recognize just how pagan much of what replaced His Truth truly is.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8216;come out of her&#8217; concept. Licensed &#8216;gay marriage&#8217; and subpoenas of sermons seem to have gotten their attention. It was a call from a listener, asking about \u201cpagan church traditions,\u201d and why do we care anyway, that prompted my response.<\/p>\n<p>Since many others will face similar situations, whether with family or simply as &#8216;watchmen&#8217;, here is a bit of that \u201copen letter,\u201d following my introduction.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Dear XXX and YYY,<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\n\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\nWhile 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.\u00a0 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?\u00a0\u00a0 He tells us, over and over again, how He HATES idolatry. And Bible history shows us why: we are STILL exile for that rebellion.<\/p>\n<p><\/b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>See the following:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\nDeuteronomy chapter 7 (esp. vv. 25-26, the end).<br \/>\nDeuteronomy chapter 12.<br \/>\nAnd Deuteronomy chapter 13, where He makes it SO clear that those who entice us (be they priests, pastors, or popes) to follow &#8220;other gods&#8221; are NOT His!\u00a0 When He tells us &#8220;not to learn the ways&#8221; of the pagans, or to do the things they do and call it &#8220;worship&#8221; of Him, He is blunt.\u00a0 And unequivocal.\u00a0\u00a0 We are to hate those idols (Xmas trees, Ishtar eggs died in the blood of sacrificed children, and so on).\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><i><b>&#8220;The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold <\/b><em><b>that is<\/b><\/em><b> on them, nor take <\/b><em><b>it<\/b><\/em><b> unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it <\/b><em><b>is<\/b><\/em><b> an abomination to the LORD thy God.&#8221;<\/b><\/i><b><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t even bring such an abomination into your house:<br \/>\n<\/b><i><b>Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: <\/b><em><b>but<\/b><\/em><b> thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it <\/b><em><b>is<\/b><\/em><b> a cursed thing.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/i><b>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Deut. 7:25-26)<\/p>\n<p>And note this, too &#8212; the penalty for such idolatry is (among other things) &#8211; plagues.\u00a0 Deuteronomy 28:60-61 even warns that not ONLY will He &#8220;<\/b><i><b>bring back the plagues of Egypt<\/b><\/i><b>&#8221; &#8211; but OTHER ones, too, even new ones NOT Written in this Book!\u00a0 I can&#8217;t help but think they might even be patented, like Ebola.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s obviously just a start.\u00a0 The bottom line is that we are commanded (Deut. 4:2, Deut 12:32, and the &#8220;very last command in the Book&#8221; at the end of Revelation) not to &#8220;<\/b><i><b>add to<\/b><\/i><b>&#8221; or &#8220;<\/b><i><b>subtract from<\/b><\/i><b>&#8221; what is Written.\u00a0 Yahushua railed at the &#8220;<\/b><i><b>hypocrites<\/b><\/i><b>&#8221; of His day (Scribes and Pharisees, etc) for doing exactly what the &#8216;church&#8217; has been doing ever since!

His own Written Law (when He said otherwise, in places like Matthew 5:17-19) &#8212;<br \/>\nwhy would we believe the Constitution, or <\/b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>ANY<\/b><\/span><b> law of mere men, would fare any better?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\nFinally \u2013 who is the &#8216;creator&#8217;

tune.&#8221;\u00a0 Yahushua the Meshiach said, after asking &#8220;<\/b><i><b>whose image and inscription?<\/b><\/i><b>&#8221; that we are to &#8220;<\/b><i><b>render unto Caesar what is his.&#8221;<\/b><\/i><b>\u00a0 Can you begin to see how not ONLY is the fake god of the &#8216;almighty state&#8217;

without a &#8220;<\/b><i><b>mark<\/b><\/i><b>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>EVERYTHING* that is being done to us (just as in Nazi Germany) is being done &#8220;legally&#8221;.\u00a0\u00a0 In the Bible, the story that applies most obviously is Jacob and Esau, who &#8220;traded his birthright for a cup of pottage.&#8221;\u00a0 (And, note, &#8220;<\/b><i><b>Jacob I have loved, Esau I hated<\/b><\/i><b>,&#8221; says YHVH.)\u00a0 Ben Franklin warned that &#8220;those who would trade essential liberty for a little temporary security deserve neither.&#8221;\u00a0 And we&#8217;re there.<\/p>\n<p>On briefly to marriage, His as opposed to the &#8216;almight state&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Amerika (with a K) has been licensing &#8220;marriage&#8221; since essentially the New Deal.\u00a0 (The history is sordid, and dates to &#8220;intermarriage&#8221; licensing.\u00a0 Now that all of Caesar&#8217;s sheeple have been made again into slaves, the concept has been extended.) \u00a0 Again, it&#8217;s &#8220;by agreement&#8221; &#8212; 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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n<p>The key thing to observe is that NOWHERE, not once, in all of the Bible does a &#8220;man of God&#8221; ask permission of ANYONE but the Father (or fathers, his own and his isha-to-be) to marry.\u00a0 Not one of His people &#8211; from Adam, to Abraham, to Moses and so on &#8211; ever goes to a king, pope, priest, pretender, or civil magistrate to ask for permission to do what He ordains.\u00a0 BUT &#8212; if you DO ask permission, and enter into contract before &#8220;another master&#8221; &#8212; beware the fine print!\u00a0\u00a0 (It&#8217;s called &#8220;adherent contracts&#8221; in legalese.\u00a0 Ask &#8220;child protective services&#8221; whose children the village <\/b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>really<\/b><\/span><b> owns.)<\/p>\n<p>The same thing goes for &#8220;gay&#8221; marriage.\u00a0 Once you begin to ask permission from &#8220;another master&#8221; to do that which YHVH forbids, why are we surprised to see good called &#8220;evil,&#8221; and evil, &#8220;good&#8221;?\u00a0\u00a0 There&#8217;s much more**\u00a0 &#8212; but perhaps you begin to see the point.\u00a0 YHVH Himself, and what He ordains, has been rejected &#8212; both by the Almighty State and its licensed &#8220;church&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, see the end of the Book of Isaiah, chapter 66.\u00a0 It has never been more clear:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\n&#8220;<\/b><i><b>&#8230;Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.<br \/>\nI also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them;
