The Campaign against New Testament Texts from Qumran.. just a wiff.

It has occurred to me that Rockefeller and the pope are about the last 2 guys any biblical Christian wants involved in the findings at the Qumran caves in 1948, however, those are the two influential figures against whom the Christian is called to be "prepared always" in a war against the truth.  I do suspect that since the scrolls were not found at a monastery of devout Essenes writing the scrolls all day but were actually found near a pottery fabricating site, like archaeologists Magen and Peleg, reveal of the clay found in the cisterns  (not ritual baths) was used for making pottery at a pottery facility, it is a far more likely scenario that the scrolls were hidden in an attempt to save them.  The fact that no one knew about them until they were found, suggests the knowledge of hiding place likely died with the hiders.  If the Jews had the foresight to collect and save the documents, they would have had to know the attack was coming and prepare, which they didn't and subsequently died as the result.  The ones who were able to flee with foresight were those forewarned with Matthew 24, Jesus' warnings to flea the city when you see the city surrounded.  Now those would be Christians.  Christians would have copies of the gospels and the pope has never been very fond of gospels and Rockefeller's name says it all.   So, I suspect that, to whatever extent our Holy and Perfect Lord has permitted the pope destroy the evidence, it has been destroyed... but since God has not let the blasphemous leader remove the Word from mankind's hand, whatever is left will be found when the walls of the Vatican no longer stand to permit ritual rape of children.  It may be the end of days, but I for one will rejoice to read the evidence, even if I am standing right next to Jesus reading it with Him, I just look forward to the day when the TRUTH can reign in print and action and matter of all things in the name of and all glory to God the Father.  In the meantime, these articles, like "bad news for Christianity" infuriate me.

This is in response to the website "Bad News about Christianity", a fountain of Jesuit misinformation spun in true Jesuit form by a humanist zorastrian poodle owner.

The bottom line is that the article is written by James McDonald who knows better... but before I knew that this article was written by someone who knew the difference between Catholicism and Christianity,  I drafted this letter and it treats the then-unknown author, as if they were as blind as I was... IT occurred to me to do some research before sending it (thank the Holy Spirit for that) and I discovered this is part of the plan.  The misinformation in the article is there for the reason I confront below.

the following is my draft in response to the article indicating that the pope likely had info that the Qumran scrolls contained biblical texts from the new testament.

Is it possible that someone did this much work researching and spent this much time learning about the Catholic shenanigans with the bible throughout history as to substantiate a claim with what appear to be well-researched and valid references and citations of material and yet that writer NOT have a single clue that catholicism is the antithetical mirror image of biblical Christianity somehow escaped them? 


It seems such a completely enormous detail to miss, but maybe it's possible.   I'm not writing to insult anyone but to seriously inquire how can the writer be so absolutely clueless that they fail to recognize there is a distinction to be made, the Christianity of the bible is entirely different than catholicism, my excuse up until 3 years ago was that I was catholic.  I had no clue until I actually read the bible by "accidental" (providential) encounter through research but thereafter was horrified by the deception it reveals about that church's lies and am no longer catholic, but Christian, for sure. There is no better analogy I can give you but to suggest the analogy would be if the soviets were to have silently invaded the US and over time slip the word "not" into every sentence of the US constitution as to negate every liberty and their corresponding protection, and slowly convince the people of an Orwellian 1984 liberty was the original. 

On the one hand the article about bad news for Christianity is is so well articulated and the information revealed is so very consistent with what is sadly true about the catholic church that I am thrilled to find this succinct expose of this history since it is rarely seen, but on the other hand, that you do not seem to understand that the pope is motivated (and has been since the beginning of the institution) by protecting his popehood, and that Christianity is his cloak so easily exposed by the texts of the bible, is disheartening.  That church is no more christian than my dog is a cat. 

Actually, as a former catholic who read the bible I can tell you, that church is no closer to being Christian than a wolf is to being a sheep... the costume isn't even a good sheep costume once you read the actual bible and learn what a sheep is, catholics have been defining our image of sheep for so long, though, that at least the catholics have come to believe sheep happen to be  clad in gold and scarlet... but they are not sheep... doesn't the rest of the world know this?  I suggest with the "evangelical & catholics together" movement, it would seem no one knows what the bible says and the pope is greatly benefiting by getting away with his deceptive antics because of it.

I am curious if it is really this common for the well-researched writer these days to be as clueless as I was (until I read the bible and saw for myself) that Catholicism is NOT Christianity or if no one cares?  See the catholic institution may have been rooted in something weird that happened with Constantine, but the day the early church married the roman empire, was the last day the world saw true apostolic Christianity in public for a good 12 centuries.  As it was hunted down and literally extinguished by papal decree between 500- 1600, those days are called the dark ages for a good reason- it was illegal by penalty of death to have the bible in your possession.  Council after council had blended the pagan practices across the empire while Latin was retained to conceal from the common man, just how much the RCC grew in power commensurate to distance from biblical contents until Vatican 1 introduced the approved "missal" of bible verses containing only 1200 verses of the 32,000 the bible has.  What the RCC has to do to those verses to make them fit their dogma is so illogical and out of context that it is no wonder so many lives were lost by the readers when the book was read by regular everyday people... it is not hard to see that the pope is a monster.  The RCC dogma is written to expand the might of the church, not spread the marvelous god news of the Kingdom of God. 

The changes over the last 40 years alone have so far departed from Christianity that Vatican II declared that salvation through Jesus Christ, as outlined in the bible, is not necessary so long as the Catholic Church is involved.  This is clearly seen in the Catholic constitution where it is specified that salvation includes Muslims (see Lumen gentium 16 (126)) who have, as a tenet of declared and professed faith as well as being written on their mosques, the phrase "alla has no son"... Now, if you are the pope that wrote Lumen Gentium extending that hopeful reach out to engender sympathies of muslims, how likely is it that you would want a copy of the letter of John found in Qumron that says:
1John2
"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also."

That is true Christianity, you don't believe in the Son of God, you aren't saved- you are a liar.  It doesn't just deal with the error of missing the Son in the equation, but it calls that person denying the necessity of the Son, a liar.  God's words are chosen with specificity and the fact that catholicism BLATANTLY rejected them to profess the tenets of Lumen Gentium, demonstrates a motive to embrace power through a dogma of universalism, the very translation of the word "catholic".

Would it surprise you to learn that pope paul vi, the pope who was involved with the dead sea scrolls, was the same pope residing at the church's helm in the late 60s to push Vatican II and this anti-christ dogma as official?  Would it surprise you to learn that 99% of catholics have NO IDEA that salvation has changed and it is part of the dogma they profess? Those people do not know what they believe, they are taught to obey- purpose is driven from their consciousness and hearts by design, the design inherent in Vatican II and underlying whatever happened to any evidence of Christian texts at Qumran .

There is a much bigger picture here, and oddly enough, it is outlined in the bible.  The details are of greatest relevance to the individual concerned about their salvation, an interest not revealed by the author of this article. But regardless of any moral obligation to inform a reader for help with their personal faith, there is a distinction to be made for purposes of accuracy and honest reporting.  It is no simple detail to ignore that this difference exists between biblical Christianity and catholicism, it is a significant detail for an investigator to neglect to share with the audience.

Further, this distinction reveals the culprit by clarifying the motive of the pope's actions and serves to remove the opaque veneer behind which he both takes cover and simultaneously undermines the very institution in which he hides, Christianity. ***this is where I realized it was on purpose**** By lumping catholicism into the the same pile as Christianity, you extend him the shield behind which he has operated for 1500y and you empower HIS attack on the very  bible that exposes him. BiNgO!!

I suspect, there are many fragments of the earliest biblical texts, if not whole books of the bible found at Qumran.  The critical lost element to your article is that the last thing the catholic church wants is a substantiated bible and for its membership to have any reason to read it. 

If Catholics read the bible, there would not be any and I am living proof.  I do not know one person who has read it.  Not one Catholic I know wants to, or even believes me that what I read in the bible is the antithesis of what the pope teaches. It is infuriating that the Catholic mind has been trained in reactionary defense, mindless retort to defend why they can't read it or rely on the bible even though it says what I am trying to point out.  This message that it is unreliable and inconsistent are the lies fostered to keep the pope at the center of faith.  If pope vi learned there were copies of say 'the book of John' in Qumran, I can promise you to whatever extent God has permitted, there is little evidence of anything associated with that info or the trail of it ever getting to him, left on the planet.

This RCC has had a long plan to unravel the doctrine of Christ.  The catholics are clueless and so far removed from the bible that my own family doesn't even believe what I am telling them based on my own reading.... I just happened to read material that Luther and the other reformers saw, and anyone with the slightest regard for truth sees, the pope lies... I don't know a single person who has read the bible so I am not a protestant, it is worthy to consider the distinction.  It is true that it is bad news for Christianity, but not because the pope discovered inconsistencies, but more likely that there were MANY consistencies for the bible- the pope has been trying to remove that book from catholics hands always.... that's why it stayed on the banned book list for the majority of the RCC history. The bad news is for NON CATHOLICS, those who belief the bible and not the pope- we are the ones who are left without our slice of the qumron pie and sadly, it is likely because the pope got a hold of it and destroyed it to keep making a recipe of his own... and worst of all, the Catholics are going to miss out on the salvation of Jesus Christ.

Catholics, you are worshiping satan.

I came across a posting about why catholics worship Mary.  Setting aside the nitpicking about definition of worship etc, I have an open request for edification here...
I wrote it in response to a catholic's declaration that nothing catholics practice is contrary to the WORD of GOD...


"Nothing? Really?

...well then help me brother because here are a few samples of what I found when I read the entire bible- using all versions to compare and translate direct meaning from old and new texts... these are macro issues, (in other words, one bible says provoke me to anger the other says kindle my ire... but we know God is pissed either way)

My concern is that the message and directions of God do not vary on any of these so.... help me out because I was catholic, I read this stuff and NOW I stand alone- I do not know any protestants, I do not know any one who has even read the bible so it's not like I have bad friends or heretical influences... I am citing these are words in full context of their scriptural use and application.  If you can tell me where I can find or missed ANYTHING in scripture that indicates these no longer stand as offensive GOD, using the WORD of GOD... I'd like to know. I pretty much liked being catholic, I sure miss hanging out with my family on holidays, they sure as hell do NOT like the hint of scripture I've offered and frankly, going to church an hour a week was a lot easier than studying this stuff finding myself literally being an outsider to all I have learned in Catholic School, simply because I must stand in obedience to the WORD of GOD so:

1.  exodus 20- (this is where God goes over the 10 commandments)
and Deuteronomy 5
God clearly says
"DO NOT BOW before anything or anyone other than ME."

I'm not nitpicking on the order of commandments or how catholics write them out.... I am asking for proof that God changed His mind.  If you bow before anything but God when HE said don't bow, catholics must be bowing in defiance or they know something I do not.

Now I've scoured scripture to find the reversal on this bowing thing.  There are only a few references to folks bowing... any bowing before anyone besides Jesus Christ is rebuked...100% of the time.. even by Peter.  Acts 10, when Cornelius's prayers were accepted by God, an angel visited Cornelius to inform him.  At the behest of the angel, Cornelius sent for Peter. As soon as Cornelius met Peter, however, he dropped down on his knees in reverence to Peter.  
What did Peter do? did he say 

"that's smart of you Cornelius because I'm the vicarious God on earth, the pope, and many who do not as you, will be slain... but alas, that's not enough respect for me pal...here's my foot, pucker up!"

... nope, humbly but sharply, Peter rebuked him "I too am a man!"

Now this is interesting because the list of men who were killed for NOT bowing before the pope is far longer than blogspot has words.  So even if you believe that God's prophecy about the "cornerstone the builders rejected" means salvation is by popes and not Jesus (because you interpret "upon this rock" as the only rock reference of hundreds, that does NOT refer to God or the Son of God like Peter states)... you'd still be at a loss to explain why this, the first "pope", Peter, says don't bow to me.. I'm just a man...

It doesn't even matter if Peter is the first pope or not... Peter is consistent in instructing Cornelius, according to the Command of God, his self-appointed successors, however, are not even close to following the command of GOD. Is it a matter of personal preference to obey God's commandments then?

Here we must mention there is one figure in the bible that, like the popes, endorses bowing before ANYONE or ANYTHING OTHER THAN GOD- that is the devil, satan himself.


So what did I miss?  Obviously the practice of bowing wasn't modeled by the first supposed pope peter...in fact, the only biblical figure modeling this practice is the devil.  Catholics wouldn't want to worship by instruction of the devil... would they? so when did God change His mind?


then there's this one:

2.  Luke 11:27
²⁷ And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
²⁸ But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

So the womb that bore Jesus shouldn't be praised as blessed but if you want to be blessed.. Jesus says it's by keeping the Word of GOD.... 

When did Jesus reverse this rebuke of praising His mother?   I can't find anything bestowing praise or queenship or anything in scripture glorifying Mary beside the angel who said she was "highly favored".... exactly like the believers were described at Ephesus.   Jesus does ask her "what have I to do with thee woman, my time has not yet come" and later when Mary was looking for him, Jesus responds as if He doesn't know her:
"who is my mother, my brethren
 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother."

 So, when did all this get changed?  Jesus does not even recognize her as his mother in Mark 3 so why bother praying in some idea that she can help as if she was not just a woman?  When did Jesus decide she was not just a woman but a queen?
and here's the big one which combines 1 & 2:

3.  Jeremiah 7 & 44  this is when God scatters the Jews.... why? Idolatry, and not just some golden calf in haste of worshiping God for getting them out of Egypt before God's commands came down from Mt Zion... nope, this time they had had the commandments for a long time.  Jeremiah is the prophet God sends in an appeal to the Jews and says you're teachers are telling you lies, you are worshiping a false god... turn back and repent so I don't have to scatter you.  But the Jews love this false god and earnestly believe that by venerating it, the queen of heaven, they are praying to the God that led them out of Egypt...

God tries to warn them, "the prophets teach lies in my name I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart."

God pleas with them even to return to scripture and discover their error-
"If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them."

But the Jews are convinced of their priests and doctrines, they pray in a building that bears GOD’s name but their prayers are made according to the precepts of men, the priests and high priests who had added "here a little, there a little" adulterating the clear instruction God had given to Moses. 
Psalm 78:
For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
³³ Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

The Jews prayers are intercepted through doctrine of evil, deceiving the people into thinking these things are good to do despite the fact that they actually have the scripture to discover their error- they do not want to look.
 Worse yet, their vanity has them argue with Jeremiah...."NO! this is the queen of Heaven who has made our life comfortable for when we stopped venerating her all things got worse for us"...

So according to the Word of GOD, in the book of Jeremiah, the Queen of Heaven is nothing more than evil in drag…...

Why did the catholic church bestow such a title, so offensive to God, on Jesus' mom?  It did not happen right away either... kind of like the Jews in fact, that title wasn't even officially bestowed until September 27, 1748 in the Gloriosae Dominae issued by Benedict XiV. 

Vanity is scripture's only explanation for the catholic's idea that Mary is the queen of heaven, with the Jews being the primary case in point example of the exact same vanity. Jesus rebukes the only any mention of his mother's praise.(Luke 11) 

The catholic explanation rests soley on arguing the divinity of Mary from the slow evolution of tradition of men now considered early church fathers but considering it was by the direction of false teachers of the Jews that led them to false beliefs in the queen of heaven, it's an unwise path.  There is no scriptural basis for Mary's glorification and that which catholics use contradict scripture itself.  I do not even disagree with the early church's consent about theotokos - I get how the mother of God can be the mother of Jesus, the argument underscores the deity of Jesus, however, for though Jesus was born as a man he retains His divinity.  Furthermore, however "theotokos" is used to elevate Mary it must by the same measure remove the atonement of man's innocent blood in exchange for the guilty.  If both Jesus' parents were divine, He could not be human.  If Jesus was not born of flesh, Jesus was not the WORD of God made flesh and if He wasn't flesh He could not die and if he did not die death was not conquered, the blood shed was inconsequential, men's sins remain and there is forgiveness of sin, no salvation offered by God because His word says the penalty of sin is death and the blood holds the life- without shedding of blood there can be no remission of sins.... unless you believe in a lying god who would therefore be unjust and not the CREATOR of the universe who is JUST and TRUE and RIGHTEOUS.  Catholic doctrine loses on this whole argument when it is held up to the light of scripture.  Now if the catholics want to profess belief in a god other than the one in scripture... that's their problem but it's not the biblical GOD who created everything.  (No wonder they spent so much energy burning the bible, chading and killing anyone who had it and maintaining the mass in latin until a few decades ago!)

And no matter what an early church father said or thought, what sense is there in naming Mary- after an offensive false god of idolatry?  She may have been blessed or "highly favored" according to the angel that spoke to her but by Mary's own humble recognition, and by the only words every recorded of her "And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour" she was a sinner and needed a savior! So not only was she not immaculate, the only words she speaks in scripture reveal she knows she is a sinner- maybe one of God's very favorite sinners... but a sinner none the less.  Yet among all these other discoveries contradicting the catholic slow mutilation of scriptural description of Jesus' awesome mom until she now has coredemtrix status...  I never found any indication that God ever stopped being provoked to anger by His People bowing to anthing bearing the title of queen of heaven. There are however direct quotes from God proving HIS wrath is kindled over it.


Then... there is the whole GLORY issue.  Glory is tribute or honor that is either matched to the rightful possessor of the attribute or it is distributed in error but the attribute itself remains no matter how it is cited or distributed.  Where did the attribute of GLORY (credit) for anything in or over CREATION get handed by God over to anyone besides Jesus who is Himself, God?

 Pope Puis XII declares in the Ad caeli reginam 50 encyclical “May the powerful Queen of creation, whose radiant glance banishes storms and tempests and brings back cloudless skies, look upon these her innocent and tormented children with eyes of mercy”

so apparently, the pope gives it to Mary…. I suppose, like the false teachers of the Jews, Pius would have the catholics never mind the fact that it took almost 2000y after the deposit of faith to evolve such an abominable decree but an earnest catholic MUST ask Based on what? The fact that men did it across history? Sure, men were venerating the queen of heaven as far back as Isis, Semiramis, Ishtar et al- (they had that title too- and God wiped out everyone who worshiped them too) but the Glory of power over creation? How can you divide the ultimate credit due to the Sovereign CREATOR?  Because an angel reported her as "highly favored?"  so was the exact same Greek word used to describe the church at Ephesus, so they too get so distinguished credit over creation?

Do not misunderstand, certainly Mary was blessed above all us women but how was she sovereign in anything she did, let alone creation?  I guess she could have said no to God's angel… but who has the deciding sovereign will that she would say yes….?  No matter how you slice it, God is due all GLORY,  no one is due credit for the work of God's hand and all is HIS WORK so all GLORY is due always to GOD ALONE! (Psalm 29: Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.) or am I missing where God specifies His GLORY goes to anyone besides JESUS, HIS SON, our Lord who is God? "(Matthew 28:16-20)


Now in the temptation of Jesus, satan boldly offers Jesus both the authority and the glory of the kingdoms on earth saying it is delivered to him to give to whomever he wants to give it to..if Jesus  wilt worship to satan.... the word in Greek is proskuneo.. which means to bow.. that's why Jesus responds: It is written ... Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.  again the same Greek word used is proskuneo.

This harkens back to the 1st question about bowing- obviously Jesus reiterates the Father's command by quoting it and honoring it.



Obviously if GOD is the SOVEREIGN CREATOR, HIS authority rules over HIS creation and all GLORY is due to GOD.  So what the heck is satan doing?  How can he show Jesus all authority of the kingdoms on earth and all the glory of the kingdoms while claiming they are given unto him?

Satan is not offering God's due GLORY and God's authority- those are God's attributes, but satan is offering the misdirected glory and authority he harnesses from men through deception and as Paul calls it "doctrines of devils" that were to come in "later days".  But just as Isaiah conveys God's words warns the jews

"Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men"

Jesus says the say thing to the Pharisees (priests):

"Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
⁷ Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
⁸ For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
⁹ And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."

The glory satan offers Jesus is stolen with false doctrine that adds to or subtracts from the Word of God and therby misdirects men in glorifying God so the glory goes to satan himself.  When man strays from the word of God, he is being led by the deceiver -satan. Satan dupes mankind into directing their obedience to authority and glory of their praise away from GOD and into his own hands to tempt those who seek power with power... and that's why it is tempting, who wouldn't want to get the glory due to God- that's a lot of glory and who wouldn't want to have God's authority over men, especially if you could have it without suffering on the cross?  This is a huge temptation of Christ.  Obviously Jesus said no because in his patience and obedience to the WORD and WILL of the real HOLY FATHER which is in HEAVEN, JESUS laid down HIS LIFE to be crucified so all who believe on HIS name may have forgiveness of sins through His having endured the wrath of God on our behalf.  But His suffering wasn't the whole deal because when Jesus raises HIMSELF and really is truly GLORIFIED of the Father, Jesus therein "swallows up death in Victory".  That's amazingly super cool and the whole reason we are damned and dumb to not be very careful...These are triumphs of God, most worthy of glory. Even if only a few of us, those saved in His name, know the TRUTH and glorify Him until HE RETURNS, eventually "the whole world will know HIS GLORY "- it's still His Glory (yeah!).  Unfortunately, if you don't do TRUTH, when HE comes to be revealed in His Glory... it's too late, He's come  TO JUDGE the living and dead. 

In the meantime, satan is allowed deceive the vain and ignorant... right unto death by misdirecting the ignorant with the vanity of the powerful men who follow to glory things of the flesh rather than God.  Ironically most everyone agrees that if there is a CREATOR, then all Glory would necessarily be due to GOD, and yet here we are catholics. You know and profess that to glorify any BUT God is to add unto satan undue glory to satan.  But the catholics do not want to worship the devil, do they?  The glory of men, however, is the devil's offer to Jesus and the catholics willingly bestow that glory unto the queen of heaven and the queen of heaven is satan. 

All this do the catholics, despite the fact that the very Word of God reveals in the Book of Jeremiah- all copies of the bible, tell us the queen of heaven is satan in drag, for on October 11, 1954, Pope Pius states:
" the Virgin Mother of God, reigns with a mother's solicitude over the entire world, just as she is crowned in heavenly blessedness with the glory of a Queen."

Are you kidding?

nope.
and it doesn’t matter how it’s done, be it with a “mother's solicitude”, an empty belly or a poker face.... Pius clearly says “the queen of heaven rules over the entire world…” 

now unless I missed when Christ returned, evil was eliminated and the 1000y of peace ensued so that Christ Jesus already ruled in HIS Glory and THEN somehow decided to transfer it all over to the false god of the jews…. for old times sake, catholics have a bit of a problem:

For just as satan said in his offer tempting Jesus, and Jesus Himself responds implicitly confirming, it is quite true: as long as men are vain and vulnerable to the deception of satan, he actually does rule over the world and usurp the authority handed over because men won't obey the authority of God- they give their authority to popes, dictators, dollars and other things... and that's just the way it is until the Lord our Savior Christ Jesus returns.  

In the meantime, we are subjects of deception and vulnerable in our vanity to following our own misplaced authority.  We are fallen, and until we are saved by Christ we turn over to evil that which we owe to God but allow evil to deceptively intercept from us of the GLORY that is actually due to GOD alone!....

Ephesians 6... Paul says "we’re not wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places"

Jeremiah predates RCC by several hundred years and the deception of the queen of heaven he warned about was of no interest to the Jews who didn’t care, they were solidly convinced in their vanity that they were doing what was good in the sight of the Lord and thus they continued to worship satan. Satan offers Jesus a way out of God’s command because fallen man gave satan the authority to rule over the world in their unrighteous vanity imagining they are capable of discerning good and evil without the instruction of a perfect GOD… which they can’t because only God is GOOD so if you are obedient to any BUT GOD, you’re screwed. And finally the wise words of Solomon

Ecclesiastes 1:9

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.

  So until a man is saved by Jesus or until Jesus returns to claim His Kingdom the reigning ruler is the queen of heaven, satan…. so how, my catholic friends and family, are you not worshiping satan by worshiping the queen of heaven when even your pope clearly says that's EXACTLY who you proskuneo?

Please explain how I am wrong on those 2 things and I'll listen... but since Jesus Christ IS the WORD made FLESH- the old testament instruction of GOD became man, the LIGHT of the WORLD, THE BREAD OF LIFE, THE TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIFE... please use quotes of God (scripture) in your rebuke and explanation, otherwise you are just arguing for satan.
thanks

The Hard Ones Need your Help

So I was complaining-praying to God-
I was sad.  It seems the only people I can help do not want my help, or piss me off so I do  not want to give my help to them... it feels like nothing I do is worth anywhile- I am not feeding hungry, helping the homeless, how can I be pleasing to GOD because I am making no headway, no one seems better.....

and I cried like a failure- feeling sorry for myself for my allotment of souls to serve.

but then, I understood HIM as if HE said:
I send you the hard ones because the easy ones have already accepted my help, they don't need you- they have ME.  These I have given to you do not block your effectiveness elsewhere- you are where you need to be, serving those whom I have placed in your company.  I have given you those who have rejected ME because I am a loving GOD who remains merciful even unto those who reject me and you are their help from me.  They may, in foolishness, reject all the kindness THE LORD has to offer, directly or through your work on my behalf.  But do not measure your success, that's MY JOB- yours is to walk in MY ways, be patient.  Do MY work, there is great reward not from those around you- FROM ME. 

Being a helper to GOD is going to suck sometimes because we are the last ditch effort HE sends to those who rejected HIM already.... and for sure if people hate themselves enough to reject GOD, they aren't going to be very pleased or even kind with me.
:)

Christmas and the Narrow Gate of TRUTH

Assessing Apparitions: a Catholic's Guide pt 1

There has been an increased frequency of marion apparitions the last few years. It may seem quite reasonable to Christians to let their denominational affiliation serve as a filter of concern about matters occurring within the boundaries of Roman Catholicism.  When the concerns pertain to prophecy, signs, and wonder, however there is quite a strong biblical argument for why such concerns must not be sorted among groups of Catholics, Christians, or any other group of people.  Regardless of the legitimacy one is willing to assign to any prophetic marker, frequency and magnitude of influence are worthy of consideration.  This guide is assembled, especially for my fellow Catholics as well as my sisters and brothers of the Church, to highlight the tools of discernment we Christians have been given by the Grace and Mercy of God the Father to discern His message from any potential deception of the apparitions and apocolyptic messages.

First,it by the authority of Paul, Peter, and Jesus Christ Himself, we instructed to be on guard and we are forewarned of the final deception preceding the return of Our Lord and false prophecies, teachings and signs that will precipitate the fall of man.

Matthew 7:15
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 24:11
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Mark 13:22
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Luke 6:26
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

2 Peter 2:1
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

1 John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

When the apostles ask Jesus about the end times, Jesus responds:

Luke 21:8
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

Deception has been our trouble since the beginning and is central to the fall of man:

  Genesis 3:13
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

Obviously when God says to not eat fruit: don't eat it, but deception is not always so black and white.

God's warns us we risk making an abominable offense unto HIM by not guarding our 2 greatest vulnerabilities to deception:

1. within our heart:

 Deuteronomy 11:16
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;  

and as Paul warns the new church we can become deceived in
2. our minds

 2 Corinthians 11:3
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

God's Word can not be rendered untrue, even by the works of satan... so how do people get deceived in their heart or mind?

The vanity of the Imagination and the lust of the heart

Lamentations 2:14
Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.

Acts 4:25
Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

Romans 1:21
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Obadiah 1:3
The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee

Jeremiah 13:10
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. it is wise to ask: Are the apparitions valid messages from God?

Mark 7:21-23
²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
²² Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

What guards against the vulnerability to deception?

 the armor of God, which is HIS WORD:

 Ephesians 6:10
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God

Which means we have KNOW HIS WORD:

Romans 16:17
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Especially during the last days, being well versed in the word of God is the only way to tell who is telling the truth and not fall 

1 Timothy 1:10
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; ¹¹ According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

 2 Timothy 4:1
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
² Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

There are many words spoken about the Word of God, so how do we know what is a fable and what is true?

First, identify the TRUTH:

^{Deuteronomy 32:4
 3} Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
⁴ He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Proverbs 30:4
Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Second, determine your source of final authority:

Galatians 1:10
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ ¹¹ But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
¹² For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 3:14
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

Third, trust in that authority above all else for your protection and salvation:

  1 Chronicles 29:11
Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

Psalm 138:2
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

^{Ephesians 1: 20-22 
20} Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
²¹ Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
²² And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

Using the Standard of Gospel and Scripture, we can search the word of God for what He has told us about.. 

The Enemy:

In thwarting 2 major snares, Jesus Christ gives us a great view into the toolbox of satan's deception:

1. satan can give power over kingdoms and their glory to the worshiper of his choice:

Luke 4:5-7
⁵ And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
⁶ And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

2. and satan is well-versed in the Word of God

^{Luke 4: 9-12
9} And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
¹⁰ For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
¹¹ And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
¹² And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

 So satin can give men power and glory, even over a kingdom, imagined by men a built in fables and wives tales such a the lordship built of traditions by the Pharisees and Saducees:

Mark 7: 6
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
⁷ Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
⁸ For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
⁹ And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

The risk:

misplacing the authority of men over the TRUTH of God:

Deuteronomy 32:18,29
Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

²⁹ O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
³⁰ How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
³¹ For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
³⁷ And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
³⁸ Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
