Just Felt Like Throwing it Out!

“comparing me and Catholics to Anti-Semitics and Nazis”

October 12, 2022

Reblog: I was moved by the Holy Spirit just now to post this again.  Amen.

What follows is text from me to another blog that had misfits out to put down people like me and our religion!  If  there is one thing I hate its bigoted, hateful stooges!  This is for them!

I  don’t mind if anyone reads this or gives any likes so don’t worry if you feel ashamed doing so, I’d be happy that the cyberspace has fun with it all in some mysterious ethereal way, perhaps with the Angels!

I was going to reblog and use this, what came from that bigoted blog dovetailing it with the beautiful message of this other blog about Pentecost as a; “in real time” tool or prism by which to see how little things change for the better with humans regarding their practices of religion and ridicule by bigots through my tiny microcosm experience, but with this other host of characters the bulk of this text is obvious to whom it fits; just another daily stroll down the street that I live on we could say!

I had to reblog this most wonderful explanation of  the Pentecost. I just this week experienced vicious attack upon my Catholic faith and me personally by a cult of self-righteous loudly proclaiming so called “Reformation Christians” who were giving great credence to the writings and teachings of Diana Severance who made enormous effort to paint Anne Askew as one of the greatest nonconforming human beings to have ever walked the earth and indeed painted her as being from what I was hearing one of God’s most anointed, and a women for the ages for all women to emulate. They immediately after my making a comment which I will include here began with the Catholic bashing with horrendous prejudice and totally anti-Catholic pure hate filled vitriol, which I responded to with my not wanting to argue and play any games, but saying how I would pray for these people upon my participating in a Holy Catholic Mass while receiving the Body and Blood of Christ through the Holy Eucharist Sacrament.

Their attack continued and then shifted to saying “maybe I’ll wake up someday” which was a continuous put down and rejection of me and my faith!  The blogger who started this went on to rationalize as I see in all she said, there was never an admonition of fault on her part or the persons who started comparing me and Catholics to Anti-Semitics and Nazis, but only were seeking to take high ground and continue being self-righteous and petty.  In this time of the “Pentecost” I see so much division and sheer madness in people as the “blind are truly leading the blind” off the precipice when the world is already upside down, they run to the edge of doom!  

Be wary of the blind leading the blind

The Reformation to me was nothing more than a “mass rebellion” against God’s Holy plan for His Church on earth, and Peter established the Church the way Jesus told him to do it, he Peter being the Rock of the Church for the cornerstone Jesus who directed Peter to build His Church, Matthew 16:18 “And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades (death) will not overpower it [by preventing the resurrection of the Christ], Matthew 16:19 “I will give you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven,”; and such was continued for centuries with some interfering forces always afoot that came from the Devil to alter God’s plan;  the Reformation movement was the capstone to me of the whole transgressed effort.  As I see it, the alterations are still proceeding in earnest today to continue scattering the flock or God’s children from the truth.  Jim Jones is a good case in point that I mentioned as to why rebellion has only led to more sin and destruction!  Before I leave you the text from my dialog I want to say or repeat part of this message you provided regarding Pentecost to announce my sincere belief that this is it, in a nutshell, and I appreciate this perfect explanation.

“All that Christ promised during his public ministry was fulfilled at Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was given to the disciples so that they could go forth and bear witness to the mystery of life and salvation in God. The consequences of sin, the divisions that exist between people may still be present in the world, but the possibility of overcoming them and living a new life in Christ came to the fore in the sending of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.”

“The miracle of Pentecost, recounted in the Acts of the Apostles, chapter two, is the opposite of the Babel story. At Pentecost people of diverse tongues unite. They come to realize that they are all in essence equal to each other, meaning everyone is eligible for receiving life in God and of being in communion with God and one another.”

“The grace of God produces unity and the disciples of Jesus experience this concretely at Pentecost with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. “God is a God, not of confusion, but of peace,” Saint Paul reminds the believers at Corinth (1 Corinthians 14:33).

“The message of Pentecost is simply that the direction of human history has changed. People can be forgiven of their sins and at peace with and reconciled to God, who has shared in our human nature in order to lift humankind to God.”

“We have been redeemed in the blood of Christ, brought to everlasting life by the presence of the Holy Spirit, wherein our faith, hope and love will grow.”

“In the Holy Eucharist (the Mass and Holy Communion) we experience over and again the life-giving presence of the Holy Spirit, who now and always pours out gifts on the beloved of God.”  (catholicspure.)

What follows is the bulk of my initial comment and then my subsequent follow-up responses to these people.

I have to lay it out as I see it my friend.

Anne Askew had issues with the authority of the church and was totally rebellious in nature, looking for a way to prove she right, over all others!  She to me did have a mental problem for sure!  The temple was the Synagogue where the Jewish Pharisees who conspired against Jesus were using the Old Testament and the old ways were to be replaced with the New Church of  Christ after his death and resurrection, and eating His Body and Blood are required and proper Sacraments which He instructed Peter the cornerstone of the New and Everlasting Church Covenant to build for His Church family of believers!  Some immediately did what Christ instructed much of it having to be hidden from the Pharisees and the Roman Emperor.  So division has existed for the entire time since Christ’s crucifixion and it still does now!  This only proves that point! Rebellion is of the Devil and that is pure truth!  If we don’t do the right thing in these serious basic precepts of the Church then we will be in transgression of God Almighty for not accepting the Body and Blood of Christ on the cross and in essence blaspheming God!  We can be sure that when Jesus told Peter to build His church there was no Bible or many issues or interpretations of the Scriptures for the mostly illiterate masses of that period of history to read “the word” as your article points out was Anne’s big thing that only that meant anything, but instead there was the “Consecrated Body and Blood of Christ” the Holy Eucharist that the Apostles were to do in remembrance and practice by faith that they are eating the Body and Blood of Christ, which is a first and foremost Holy Sacrament without which you miss the whole point of having God’s Church on earth.

Holy Eucharist docu 1

Anne was either mentally ill or possessed with demonic influences no doubt!  And in those days the help we have for such persons didn’t exist lacking the knowledge we have today they did the best they could in dealing with an extremely rebellious person. She should have known  better if she wasn’t ill that in those times people were beheaded or burned at stakes by Kings and others throughout the world.

Diana Severance is spinning yarns and would be better to check her fire so she won’t end up in one, the unholy one!

Thank you for this opportunity!  Amen.

A point I made wasn’t clear or accurate enough. The Synagogue was not the point I was making about what Jesus said would be destroyed and the New Church would takes its place; it was the Temple with the “sacrificial alter” that was to be destroyed and the new Sacrificial Lamb of God Jesus Christ would takes its place as the alter sacrifice, “The Blessed Sacrament,” of the New and Everlasting Covenant.  Amen.

Lamb of God docu

Wow you come on strong lady with the rebellion tone, not of peace and charity, but of wanting the Church that Peter was to found to conform to what you and others say it should be today; one where it must conform to homosexuality, abortion, militant feminist’s agendas and NWO communism, but you speak not for Jesus but for the sponsor of all these evil atrocities which you even bring up with your Nazism Rhetoric about Jews; and how you connect that to anything I said is total illogical conjecture on your part and a sin!  You infuse hate and ugly rhetoric into what I said, and that is your illness and grave error not mine.  I said nothing about rejecting Jews or hating any, as a matter of fact my best doctors were Jews and I was delivered by a Jew when born!  I have Jew friends and family by marriage!  I resent your childish insinuations and attack which was completely wrong and off base showing what your heart is full of, and it’s not pretty!  I won’t take offense because that would be childish of me and two wrongs never make a right, but, mainly it would especially be counterproductive in the face of your “animosity.” I suggest you’re as ill with a similar affliction that Anne had.

You need forgiveness and prayer which I will offer up to Jesus Christ in a Holy Catholic Mass while receiving the Blessed Sacrament of the Lamb of God!

Peace and God’s mercy to all. Amen.

Thank yourself! As I clearly stated I will offer up special prayer for you regardless of how you attacked my statements and thus my integrity and beliefs!  Do you have suggestions as to what someone should say that is more concise when a person you never had two words with comes at you with hate filled vitriol directed at your lifelong faith and reputation?  I think not; but if you have some genius answers to these questions I put forth you are welcome to explain!  I should hope you will recognize my offer of special prayer for you should be something you’re thankful and appreciative of much more than my pointing to your error and callousness was to you; as it could help especially if you want help.  I know I’ve always appreciated actual genuine human compassion and help when it was given to me!  That is hard to come by in this twisted perverted world today, of the self-first mantra mindset.  I firmly believe that God, family and country are at least 3 things firstly, that any Christian or for that matter anyone with a heart and conscience should be willing to take into account before themselves!  Think and pray on all of this and I believe God may be reaching out to you soon!

God bless you.  Amen.

Nor do you!  Perhaps you should have stepped in a bit sooner when a follower of yours not mine steps into your posting and attacks a devout Catholic who never had two words with said person!  A person who brought vulgarity and hate the likes of which I haven’t seen in any of my postings or any of my followers as well; but in yours is this bringing up of Auschwitz and Antisemitism to me, and directed at me; which you had no problem with at all, not one peep from you to correct then, yet you correct me like a pack of wolves eating flesh!  You have some nerve lady, you need serious prayer and help.  May God forgive you.  I do; but I’m only a simple man, you need God!

If this isn’t more of the “same” God strike me dead!  Such bigotry and prejudice filled with hateful vitriol; I’m beside myself over it!  God help you!

You and your posting struck a nerve like I never had happen blogging before, this is a sign of wickedness for sure at play!

You are not a peace keeper but an argumentative rabble-rouse minion, I’m not going to play your demented game here lady!

Your follower accused me of being an Anti-Semitic Nazi!  You are blind and not a just, kind person at all!  You are only interested in proving you are better and right! Take your club of fools and go!

This is the behavior of twisted Protestants!

Blind leading blind death web

You’re either a liar or a fool; you wish no such thing and you with them are talking hypocritical especially in light of the Johan accusing me of being Anti-Semitic and a Nazi! You are blind and it’s a true example here of “the blind leading the blind,”  you fool!  As I stated I have family by marriages that are Jews and I was delivered from my mother’s womb by a Jew doctor and I have had Jew doctors in my adulthood!  You are a rebel against God’s children to join in concert with such vitriol and stand by and do nothing but join in on the trouble they make!  You are the one who needs serious help and may God forgive you before it’s too late; for now you are blind!

Edmund Burke “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing,”

Now to you I say take your hypocritical lies away from me, I won’t be fooled by you or any of them!

Your group of Catholic bashes sound just like the wicked twisted type Democrats in Washington like Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden the biggest hypocrites and antichrists going!  Wow, it’s hard to believe there are so many wicked and twisted sick people running loose in society!

I throw my hands up and say goodbye!

I’ve blocked those wicked minded twisted souls from my blog!  I do not have to accept such evil into my life!  They invaded my faith and sanctity as nefarious instigators.

Jim Jones

One more thing to you jm, who the hell are you that you think I will wake up to the truth someday?  So, my whole being is a lie and you know the truth?  You are a vile twisted little man!  Most if not all of the reformation was Satanically inspired resistance along with a fouling of God’s plan; that’s why we got to a point where in this most wayward modern fallen generation we produced cults like the one Jim Jones established from Reformation-Fake Christians, his People’s Temple, and big mouths come in all stripes; do you remember Jim Jones, or Jim Baker and Tammy Fay? “Rev. Jones was ordained in 1957 by the Independent Assemblies of God.”

Jonestown maasacre web

The cult led by Reverend Jim Jones Jonestown Massacre: How 909 people followed a cult leader to Guyana, ‘drank the Kool-Aid!” (history.com) You people put yourselves up on a huge pedestal of knowing so much and Diane the author here the genius of God’s to set us all straight, she is a heretic plain and simple, but we should weep for poor Anne the Saint according to you and her, yet what about these 909 people and souls that died as a direct result of the Reformation and all these splinter cult groups, do you make a big fiasco about that?  Do you bend over backwards like this for St. Lawrence or Joan of Arc?  No, because you would back yourselves into a corner of not standing on solid ground or True Faith and following the “will of God,” and burst your bubble!  This is why the tried and proven Church from the founding that Peter established is the only way to see the TRUTH!  You are all blind leading the blind!  You are the reason there is so much hate and bloodshed in this world; people like Ms.C and you along with wicked agents like Biden or Pelosi who give Catholics a bad name are all in concert with the antichrist’s plan.  But, you pray for me that I will “wake up” someday!  You’re all little phony game players and I’m tired of your antics or asinine rhetoric!  There are way too many idiots like you on the internet!  Waste of time!

Sword and the Simitar web

Also, Ms.C and others bring up the Inquisition like that matters now.  How Anne Askew was tortured back then, but, The whole thing was in reaction to what the Muslims had done when Europe capitulated and allowed the biggest Caliphate in history to be established in Europe like they are doing again; whereby Christians (Catholics predominately) at the time for several hundred years prior to your beloved Reformation that led up to the Inquisition; but during the Caliphate they were tortured, burned, raped, enslaved and murdered under the Muslim savages; are you weeping and screaming for them here now?!  But you have the guts to pick on me and some Catholics right!  Where is your outrage for the Muslims both back then and now?  I suggest all of you fools read what Raymond Ibrahim has said in his excellent truthful book “Sword and the Scimitar!”  You kiss ass game players need to wake up fast, because all hell is going to break loose and your asses are in the sling with God’s condemnation, not mine!  You think you’re so “real” but you’re all fakers and takers!  I will not let any of you now, live down that your punk and this blog with its weak sick followers called me a Jew hater and Nazi!  You are all sick and wreaking with sin and Christ’s blood on your hands!

C.S Lewis knew exactly what is going on and he left a reformed church in England first as an atheist to then be one of the greatest advocates of the Christendom! 

C S Lewis

Right that was what I meant; mainly that Lewis’s journey came full circle to become one of the greatest advocates of Christendom, but he was a major strong advocate of “Catholics” as well, not a bashing SOB like many of you lame ducks today! “Lewis’s conversion to Christianity was greatly influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien, a Catholic, and although Lewis embraced many distinctively Catholic teachings, such as purgatory and the sacrament of Confession;” (Saint Benedict Press), and was as close to being one without actually joining the Church; I did mean what you said, but only slipped in saying he was a Catholic which he wasn’t, but Very influenced by the Catholic Tolkien!  The take away is he was no enemy or critic of it, like you Protestant thick heads, and up on your pedestal better than the rest of us; think you are!  I mentioned Jim Jones to point out how that road can be quite evil and treacherous, so travel with caution and at your own peril! You can; but I won’t!  And, watch who you call snowflake; SNOWFLAKE!  You would be the last to say that in my face! Tighten your belt and carry on.  You are all fools!  Goodbye and don’t say you pray for me, you are liars and phony, so I don’t want your help, you’re accursed!

I need prayer from the Catholic Church, the nuns,  consecrated women, brothers and priests; which you are not!

Holy Eucharist docu 1

The problem with Protestants I know from firsthand experience is, they are so dense that it’s as though every one of them upon birth is dropped on its head to christen them.  I grew up with some of those and they were bad news no matter how you sliced it always causing trouble!  Non Conforming punks!  Pray tell I wonder why! On the flip-side we had the nice Catholic alter boy types; of which I’m happy to say I was more of that!

I mentioned in he article; The cult led by Reverend Jim Jones Jonestown Massacre: How 909 people followed a cult leader to Guyana, ‘drank the Kool-Aid!”

Since my writing this originally back in May of 2020 we can easily assess how many human beings were ready and actually did in a manner of speaking “Drink The Kool-Aid” and join the frenzied madness of “Delusion and Human Conflict” of the Fraud Pandemic a Global Crime Against Humanity, which led to millions of innocent people and even some guilty participants dying all around the planet; God rest their souls!  What do you suspect is coming if this was allowed by God, and yet the majority of the human population just goes on business as usual, and like after past catastrophes once the dust settles people just want to get back to their habits or even very foolish sinful routines; without truly reforming or seeking enlightenment, God’s Truth!

I say the coming man-made catastrophe will be like nothing the modern world has ever experienced dwarfing all previous human calamity, and will preface; God’s Righteous Indignation and Final Judgment of this world by His full wrath!

Shalom

The Faces of Evil

We are seeing very prominent faces stand out this “Christmas Holiday Season” that are far removed from the “Spirit of Christmas,” and are in fact unholy being influenced by the forces of darkness right here in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, America!  This One Nation under God has been polluted and corrupted deep within its earthly seat of power by some of the most maligned human beings on earth whose lust for power and control was an attempt to gain absolute power which in turn became “absolute power corrupting absolutely;” and it did in fact blind them to the plain truth of how their quest and drunkenness has delivered them unto the beast and not their Almighty God.  For them it started with “a touch of evil” that grew inside of them until its own thirst for another soul grew even stronger within taking over their will or ability to recognize the “simple plain truth!”

One of these key political figures clamored to the world this week “I’m a Catholic,” just like another one of them has said on many occasions how he is a Catholic too, and he is a presidential candidate now; but one thing is for sure, neither of those two is a Catholic and they are indeed fake ones.  There are so many fake ones around these days and in fact there are too many “nonbelievers or complete antichrists” among us, even those who use Christianity as a tool or front for vain ulterior purposes, wolves in sheep’s clothing if you will; some of us may even know them personally!

Yes you and I know who I speak about and we witness this abomination by the Greatest Nation on earth, but we must all pray and look beyond all of this wickedness that is trying to overshadow our Great Nation under God and not allow us to clearly remember who this holiday is about; “the one true power, honor and glory which it is about, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” who will have the final say in everything in all of existence!

All I can say is, all of you faithful please keep praying to our Heavenly Father who is holding back from pouring out His wrath, but make no mistake about it the truth is upon us, we have enough proof my faithful friends; the winds of truth and justice are coming for them and all the other deceivers!                                                                        

Stay in communion with the Holy Spirit by remaining faithfully vigilant in humble prayer and supplication for Him our Savior Jesus Christ, who loves us more than we can actually fully know and experience being outside of His glorious eternal kingdom; yet He made Himself one of us born of the virgin Mary His earthly mother, to prove without a doubt that we are here for one reason; which is that, through genuine humble faith on bent knee from the heart even if no larger than a mustard seed, that faith is the only other ingredient needed in our Father’s equation and plan for any of us to be united with Him in heaven for eternity.

And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.” Matthew 17:20

So He was saying, “What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES.” Luke 13:18-19

A Blessed and Merry Christmas to All of You!

Lawrence Morra

Just as in Classic Film Noir a touch of evil is all it takes to corrupt a soul enough to bring ruin to a heart!

Touch of Evil

But, diametrically in opposition to that it only takes the faith the size of a mustard seed to overcome all evil and death!  Faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the King!

UPDATE: Tell me this isn’t the time to update this previous posting?

But first consider if you should tell me if the opening of this previous posting;  The Faces of Evil can and should be applicable right now like never before in America!

I’ve been saying for years that I know without a doubt in my heart and mind how corrupt and evil Biden is!  I designated him “America’s Own Man of Perdition” a while ago!  You probably saw this photo by now all too much but look at the face of Evil and now maybe more folks can understand why I said what I did about him for years! What’s very scary is how we could have such a not only dysfunctional society as we do, but a government that spurned this all on for several decades knowing full well the lying, wicked corruption of this man along with the facilitators of it for so long; was it “all about the money honey?”

How could I practically speaking see the horns coming out of this man’s head and so many citizens did not or maybe didn’t care?

This SOB who in his first 100 days in office ramrodded through an appropriation of 468 $Billion by executive order exclusively for abortion all the way up to Day of Delivery and yet this man is still the president and getting worse than that now, which I thought took the cake; now threatening to use the military with his F-15 fighter jets against the citizens of the USA who are not compliant with his agenda and crazy thinking!

Joe Biden Will Turn VA Hospitals Into Abortion Centers Killing Babies

Joe Biden Will Turn VA Hospitals Into Abortion Centers Killing Babies

National | Steven Ertelt | Sep 2, 2022 | 12:46PM | Washington, DC

Joe Biden announced today that his administration will illegally turn VA hospitals into abortion centers, in a move that breaks federal law.

The Department of Veterans Affairs said Friday it plans to kill babies in abortions in cases of rape or incest or in cases where the mother’s life or health is in danger, even though doctors repeatedly say abortions are never medically necessary.

The VA says babies will be killed in abortions “regardless of state restrictions” — which means VA hospitals will become abortion centers even in pro-life states that have banned abortions.

The department submitted an interim rule to the Federal Register Thursday night that will allow abortion access on federal property in some cases, even in states that ban the procedure. VA health care providers can also coordinate abortions with private medical offices in states where abortion is still allowed. Providers can also offer to counsel pregnant veterans and eligible beneficiaries.

The VA said it will make a determination on a case-by-case basis on the necessity of abortion based on “careful consultation between VA health care providers and the Veterans they serve.” For cases of rape or incest, the VA will use self-reporting from a veteran or beneficiary.

“Pregnant veterans and VA beneficiaries deserve to have access to world-class reproductive care when they need it most,” VA Secretary Denis McDonough said in a statement. “That’s what our nation owes them, and that’s what we at VA will deliver.”

Please follow LifeNews.com on Gab for the latest pro-life news and info, free from social media censorship.

The last part means that babies will be killed in abortions in cases of rape or incest merely on the word of the woman seeking the abortion, without any report to law enforcement in order to apprehend the rapist or proof that rape or incest had occurred.

Senator James Lankford, a pro-life Republican from Oklahoma, says the move is illegal and previously sent a letter to Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) Denis McDonough to share his concerns. Specifically, Biden’s move is illegal under federal law.

Section 106 of the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992 prohibits the VA from providing abortions.

Lankford warns in his letter, “Only Congress can change federal law, and Congress has held for the past 30 years that the VA is not permitted to offer abortion services… Abortion is not and will never be healthcare. Healthcare protects life. Abortion takes life. Instead of promoting the taking of human life, I would challenge you, and others within the VA, to respect the dignity of our veterans and all of their family members, including unborn children, by ensuring services provided and funded by the VA are focused on true healthcare consistent with federal law.”

Multiple polls over the years show Americans oppose taxpayer-funded abortions, and most recently a January 2022 Marist poll found that a majority of Americans — 54% — oppose taxpayer funding of abortion.

Leading pro-life group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life slammed the decision and reiterated that it is illegal, in violation of both federal and state laws. It also noted that McDonough  failed to respond Lankford’s letter.

“Shame on Secretary McDonough for caving to Biden and the radical abortion lobby’s demands to violate state and federal law regarding abortion. Abortion is not health care – in fact it carries serious physical and mental health risks – and expanding abortion on demand into the VA is illegal, period,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “This is the latest egregious example of the pro-abortion extremism that has taken over the Democratic Party. Biden himself used to agree taxpayers should never be forced to fund the destruction of innocent life. Now he is head of the most pro-abortion administration in history. There is no law they won’t rewrite or institution they won’t destroy in their drive to impose abortion without limits – even late-term abortions well after unborn children can feel pain – up to the moment of birth, paid for by taxpayers, nationwide.

She told LifeNews: “Democrats’ pro-abortion extremism is wildly out of step with the majority of Americans. We will expose them and hold them accountable at the ballot box.”

Biden and the entire Democrat Partisan Establishment, now Communist Party are out of control and not American!  And that is what I say to Biden who was one of the many that advocated Antifa and BLM torching of cities, doing mayhem throughout the nation during the summer of 2020; along with rapes and murders having been excused or not investigated with all of the destruction!  Harris and Pelosi said they were proper expression by the people, and the “Riots Must Continue!”  While Biden sat in his basement instead of campaigning and agreed they were fine; they are nuts and wicked! Now look were we are!

But they sure tracked down the J6 Election Protestors like hey were wanton evil criminals who were not armed or menacing, after allowing them into the People’s House!  Even allowing a Capital Police Office to blow away Ashlee Babbitt at point blank range as she was climbing over a dutch-door; she a four tour honorably discharged USAF Veteran, good mother and wife!  The event going bad was staged by government insider operatives, FBI and Pelosi!

Those government officials all have blood on their hands and are doomed to God’s wrath!

Here’s an additional news flash today!

“So they riffled [sic] through the living quarters of my 16 year old son, Barron, and the loved and respected former First Lady of the United States, Melania, but, despite proven high crimes and treason, and just plain common theft, all pointed out in the Laptop from Hell (and elsewhere), they never Raided or Broke Into the house of Hunter Biden or, perhaps even more importantly, the house of Joe Biden – A treasure trove!” Trump wrote.

“This is a Country that’s unfair and broken,” the former president added. “We are truly a Nation in Decline!!!”

Hey I say even burn-out Ozzy Osbourne could get this right and flew the coop with his family back to the UK recently  said “nothing is United about America!”

I can also say with confidence if this mess of a nation doesn’t come together and fix all of this evil and put all of the culpable scheming scammers in our government behind bars; then its “Venezuela here we come!”

“In a subsequent post, Trump claimed, “The USA is rapidly becoming a Third World Nation. Crooked Elections, No Borders, a Weaponized Justice Department & FBI, record setting INFLATION, highest ever Energy Prices (and everything else), and all, including our Military, is WOKE, WOKE, WOKE. Most dangerous time in the history of our Country!!!”  Copyright © 2022 Valiant Media

Why are We here; Is it Worth Being Born?

“Total humility is the beginning of acceptance and understanding”

First this life and my thoughts now aren’t about believing in Santa Claus or not!

A year passed and have things changed; not really the same game but worse!

Let me ask you; do you really prefer to think that not being born would be better for you and your children? Because I can absolutely guarantee you that is exactly what the Devil wants you to believe, that master of all lies wants any of us to think we are defeated before we start.  Start what you might say with; how about the greatest and most magnificent journey that the brightest of minds couldn’t imagine in a million years! A way for everything to add up and come out perfect! Who else can sort all of this out, but the author of existence, certainly we mere inklings of a shadowy concoction of energy, matter and substance don’t have a fart in the winds chance of coming up with The Solution to all that has, is and will be happening on this planet our home we call earth.

Flickering candle lg print

You see I’ve learned that God absolutely exists and God’s purposes and Plans are all that matter not we free willed sometimes foolish, silly or arrogant creations of; His. Total humility is the beginning of acceptance and understanding” that we are here for a God given reason not our imperfect sometimes self-righteous thinking or vision of what this has to be about living among the dead as we do; for I say to you this isn’t really living not with a price on all of our heads that says nobody gets out alive! We are looking with eyes half shut or in many cases wide shut in which case even though we think they are open they see nothing, not the Truth of God; never really seeing the length and depth of all that is really going on, and is always beyond our grasp; yet it’s as plain and simple as the morning turns to night and after the night a new dawn comes. No degree in rocket science required, only a genuine humble heart on bent knee which will open not only your heart to God but will open up the ultimate world of possibility and endless love!  Something must bridge that enormous GAP for us, and that can only be the One who set this all in motion to begin with! Being BORN into this at times so chaotic and even rotten world is I assure you a Blessing, and no matter who it is or what they have or don’t have, being able to exist is our one sure ticket to the Ultimate Destination.  Which is to be with God the One who made this all possible and is always waiting first for our recognition of Him to acknowledge we know we are helpless babes in the woods and need Him above all there is in this existence! That He must be our primary focus and then to learn with His unrelenting undivided help and attention; to Trust in Him!  If we are making this connection as individuals that I’m speaking about to you placing Him front and center in our lives, then that will ensure us of our lives being worth something and a whole lot more than we can ever come up with or concoct on our own for being here in the first place!

Life is the most beautiful incomparable gift and blessing of absolute LOVE! We are suffering here and some so much more than others;many through NO fault of their own but the world is riddled with sin and evils that effect even the most innocent among us!  What’s fair and fun about that you might ask, and I say not much, that at times to me really sucks, that so much pain and suffering is going on and so many dreams and hopes getting dashed or crushed under the enormous weight and burden of sin, imperfection, stupidity, hate and the list goes on as you are well aware I’m sure! But for this to all get sorted out and for any of us to make heads or tails of it all, is a fool’s  errand, unless we have God on our side, you hear that; God on our side. He actually is, that is why this whole damned world didn’t get wiped away like so much chaff in the wind long ago, to our concept of time; but really a flickering flame to God which He hasn’t extinguished yet!  We are absolutely at His Mercy and He wants us with Him in His Glory!  How do we get that you might wonder here; we start by wanting Him so badly that it becomes our life force and breath our very REASON for LIVING, so we can be a part of His heavenly eternal Glorious and totally wonderful kingdom! I see it clear my friend, we are so lucky to be here and each of us will be nothing but dust, these bodies in the end, with our souls damned to oblivion or complete separation from God’s glory, his eternal kingdom; not even being a memory without God setting the record straight and bringing absolute Justice to all things in His good time when it is appropriate for any of us!

Jesus cruxifiction precious blood sm print

Now that was coming from my own heart that God has opened and restored countless times because due to my own errors and shortcomings, He knows I belong to Him though I don’t deserve to in a sense, yet I do;  because I decided with my Own Heart that I want to and must if I’m to be worth anything after it’s all said and done and this carcass I occupy is eventually in the dirt where it belongs, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak;” but my soul belongs to Him my Maker, who Gives, who gives all things; to those who love Him back! But how much grander is what comes for us if we stay strong in our faith no matter what, and “keep Jesus Christ front and center in our hearts and minds!”

The star-forming region NGC 3603 – seen here in the latest Hubble Space Telescope image – contains one of the most impressive massive young star clusters in the Milky Way. Bathed in gas and dust the cluster formed in a huge rush of star formation thought to have occurred around a million years ago. The hot blue stars at the core are responsible for carving out a huge cavity in the gas seen to the right of the star cluster in NGC 3603’s centre.

1 Corinthians 2:9

9 But as Scripture says:

“No eye has seen,

no ear has heard,

and no mind has imagined

the things that God has prepared

for those who love him.”

Love must be a two way street and we can never give a fraction of what God is giving or ultimately offering!

Saint Dismas a scoundrel of a man and bad dude before he met Jesus Christ who was nailed to the cross next to his, he Dismas to the right side of Jesus saw all that transpired that day his final day, when his heart opened up like never before watching this man who said He is the Son of the Father in the heavenly Kingdom saying things like, “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do!” Dismas was so rapt in awe he asked this dying man the Savior to just remember me when you join your Father in Your kingdom. He as then in that moment being honest and humble having admitted he deserved every bit of what he was getting being tied to a cross and crucified for all of his crimes against men, as well wasting his life being a scoundrel, but, then surely as Dismas correctly said to Jesus, in essence his meaning being; you deserve none of what they have done to you, you have to be who you say you are, just by how you are forgiving these same people doing this to you, you have shown not even one complaint or modicum of anger or hatred, you are praying for them instead!

“One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

    —Luke 23:39–43 (NIV)

And so Dismas then asking Jesus in all humility and heart felt compassion not thinking in the slightest that he deserved even this opportunity to ask, the Messiah; “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise” (verses 42-43).

“As Jesus was hanging on the cross, paying our penalty for sin, He made a promise to a dying, repentant thief.  By the grace of God and the power of Christ, that promise was kept. The thief’s sins were washed away, and his death that day was his entrance to paradise.” gotquestions.org/today-paradise.html

What does “if God is for us, who can be against us” mean in Romans 8:31?

Romans 8:31 says, “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” The “things” are the dozens of amazing proofs of God’s unfailing love listed in the preceding verses. Romans 8 contains many of the cherished verses that comfort us, such as “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (verse 1). And the one that gets us through difficult times: “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (verse 28). Verse 31 of Romans 8 is a culmination of all those wonderful promises. It reminds us who God is and how He helps us. When we grasp the truth that God is for us, we have nothing to fear.

God is “for” us in the sense that He is on our side; He is working on our behalf and for our good. He has proved His benevolence in that He has adopted us (Romans 8:15), He has given us His Spirit (verses 16–17, 26–27), and He has determined to save us (verses 29–30).

The follow-up question, “who can be against us?” is rhetorical. It’s another way of saying, “There is no one who could possibly be more powerful than God” or “No one can destroy us.” The idea is not that we will never face opposition; it’s simply that our opposition is doomed to failure. They may be against us, but not successfully against us. Since God is on our side, we have nothing to worry about.

Romans 8:31 is an echo of other passages that say the something similar:

Psalm 118:6 says, “The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”

2 Kings 6:16: “‘Don’t be afraid,’ the prophet [Elisha] answered. ‘Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’”

Psalm 56:9: “My enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.”

Hebrews 13:6: “So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?’”

Psalm 27:1: “The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”

Sometimes our hearts respond to verses like this with consternation: “I’ll tell you who can be against me! The IRS, my in-laws, terrorists, corrupt politicians—” and the list goes on. Our real-life enemies seem to overshadow the ideas conveyed in Romans 8. Despite spiritual promises, we still have to endure physical, mental, and emotional struggles—so much so that we may wonder if God is truly for us.

The man who penned Romans 8:31 (Paul) faced the same struggles we face and many more. He lists some of his sufferings in 2 Corinthians 11:22–28 as proof that he did not write from a plastic bubble of ethereal peace. However, his intimate relationship with the risen Christ had become his all-consuming passion. He said he considered everything else “garbage” compared to knowing Christ (Philippians 3:7–9). He had learned the secret of contentment, whether he was celebrated or imprisoned, and he stated that secret: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13, BSB).

So when Paul writes, “If God is for us, who can be against us,” he is comparing earthly opposition to the eternal power and presence of Almighty God—and he declares the winner. No one can overcome God’s love for us.

Jesus taught the same thing. In Luke 12:4–5, Jesus said, “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.” His point, as was Paul’s, is that, no matter what may happen to us here on earth, there is a higher reality. There is a bigger war than the one we think we face, and God is the ultimate winner (Ephesians 6:12). If we are on His side, then we will win, too. (Revelation 21:7–8, 27).”   gotquestions.org/if-God-is-for-us-who-can-be-against-us

I Lawrence say with absolute confidence God is with us right now and never leaves our sides but we do have crosses to carry while here which is absolutely worth it! He Jesus Christ overcame all of this conflict and suffering and did it out of “Pure Absolute Love” and I tell you as I look around this world, me an imperfect nobody, I see so much I wouldn’t want to be any part of, yet I’m so happy to be dealing with the blood, sweat and tears of it all; because I have a shot through Jesus Christ of making sure that my life a gift from God was and is all worth it because He overcame all obstacles to Paradise; our path is to follow Him our Lord Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

I knowing through and by my own heart with Him Jesus Christ that we are going to make it there to the Promised Land, Hallelujah!

Forgotten Customs of St. Lawrence

“Lord Jesus Christ, God from God, have mercy on Your servant”

The following excerpt points out the humility, dedication and sacrifice to our Lord Jesus Christ by Saint Lawrence.  The link for the entire article is provided.

St. Lawrence, under the command of the pope, began to give all of the Church’s goods to the poor. While he was doing this task, a blind man named Crescentius asked him to heal his blindness by laying hands on him. St. Lawrence made the Sign of the Cross over him, and his vision was restored. Lawrence was soon arrested and in prison still healed many blind men. The guard, named Hippolytus, was so impressed by the Faith that he accepted it and also died as a martyr.

On August 10, 258, Lawrence was told to bring along the treasure entrusted by the pope to his execution. After being given two days’ time to collect the goods, St. Lawrence arrived with a multitude of Rome’s crippled, blind, and sick. St. Lawrence announced to the judge: “Here are the treasures of the Church!” Before he was arrested, though, he had dispersed the material wealth of the Church including many documents, which saved years of early Church history.

He was tortured, scourged, and scorched with glowing plates. In the midst of it, he prayed: “Lord Jesus Christ, God from God, have mercy on Your servant!” A solider named Romanus exclaimed: “I see before you an incomparably beautiful youth. Hasten and baptize me.” Romanus had observed during this torture how an angel dried the wounds of Lawrence with a linen cloth.

As he was taken back to the judge he said, “My God I honor and Him alone I serve. Therefore I do not fear your torments; this night shall become as brightest day and as light without any darkness.”

St. Lawrence was grilled to death on August 10, 258. As he died, he prayed for the conversion of Rome so that from it the Faith of Christ would spread. Following his death, idolatry began to decline throughout Rome. He also said, “Now you may turn me over, my body is roasted enough on this side.” Then he said, “At last I am finished; you may now take from me and eat.” He turned to God and exclaimed: “I thank You, O Lord, that I am permitted to enter Your portals.” His body was buried in the cemetery of Saint Cyriaca on the road to Tivoli. The gridiron that is believed to have been his deathbed is in San Lorenzo in Lucina.

Conclusion

Besides fasting and abstaining on August 9th, and hearing Holy Mass on August 10th, we should reflect on our own charity for the poor at this time. St. Lawrence gave his life for Christ, preached, brought about conversions, and cared for the spiritual and physical demands of the poor. We should pray often for the poor when we see them. And at the same time, we should find concrete ways the help alleviate their physical suffering. Since giving outright money to the homeless is not always the best answer, finding Catholic homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and outreach programs grounded in authentic Catholicism is the best we can be help them. See how you can impact both the physical and spiritual lives of the poor in your own area in honor of St. Lawrence who remarked, in reference to the sick and poor, before his death: “Here are the treasures of the Church!”

St. Lawrence, ora pro nobis!

I’ve often wondered about this as many of you and others have through the decades and centuries! I had always had some interest in whether the Statue of Liberty and NYC with the United Nations being located there along with Wall Street a global trading financial hub would result in some specific Biblical prophecy but for the most part like multitudes of other people wasn’t connecting any dots indicating such a connection existed; until now! What follows are some Scriptural verses along with some of my own thoughts derived from recent developments in the Nations or Super Powers vying for World dominance and NWO then finally a writing on this subject that I just came upon which could very well be a most plausible reason why America isn’t mentioned in the final days leading up to Armageddon and Jesus Christ’s Second Coming to finally end this world.

“I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters”

Revelation 17:1-18
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.”

Look at what symbol now sits at the UN that was recently added as an icon of Peace!
un-united-nations-guardian-international-peace-security-visitors-plaza-dragon-revelation-933x445

This may very well be the infant Nation much newer and younger in comparison to all European and Middle East ones, the New Babylon the Great. Could it be The United States?

Liberty and Freedom are most definitely eroding here in the US just as they are throughout the world but this is a big deal here where our US Constitution and the Bill of Rights make it abundantly clear that American Citizens are supposed to be a Free and Christian People! As it was clearly stated by all of the Founding Fathers here is just one example of just how key and crucial a role Christianity and Freedom played in the establishing of this Republic under God!

Alexander Hamilton
First US Secretary of the Treasury
“In my opinion, the present constitution is the standard to which we are to cling…. Let an association be formed to be denominated ‘The Christian Constitutional Society,’ its object to be first: The support of the Christian religion. Second: The support of the United States.”
Apr. 16-21, 1802, Letter to James Bayard
That is a clear indication of what America was to be based on and represent for its People. Then there was this.
Patrick Henry
Member of the First Continental Congress, Governor of Virginia
“The great pillars of all government…[are] virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible.”
Jan. 8, 1799, Letter to Archibald Blai

And then this beautiful statement.

Thomas Paine
Writer, Revolutionary leader
“The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind. Where, say some, is the king of America? I’ll tell you, friend, He reigns above.”
1776, Common Sense

I add these few additional statements by other Founding Fathers that make it quite abundantly clear what the mindset and actual principles of America were intended to be, and I say why America rose to such prominence, prowess and power as the leading Nation of all Nations around the Globe for hundreds of years; a very blessed Nation.

John Adams
Second President of the US
“We have no government armed in power capable of contending in human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.”
1798, Address to the militia of Massachusetts
“The experiment is made, and has completely succeeded: it can no longer be called in question, whether authority in magistrates, and obedience of citizens, can be grounded on reason, morality, and the Christian religion, without the mockery of priests, or the knavery of politicians.”
1788, “A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America”

John Jay
First Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court
“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
Feb. 28, 1797, Letter to clergyman Jedidiah Morse

George Mason
Delegate to the Constitutional Convention, called the “father” of the US Bill of Rights
“The laws of nature are the laws of God, whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth.”
Robin v. Hardaway, Gener

But here is the catch now for America and beyond! Most if not all of these prerequisites for this Nation under God to remain strong enough in a violent corrupted “Ways of The World” battle which the world has always been with all Nations feuding or attacking others, these precepts have been transgressed or marginalized to the point of practically being nonexistent and we can now see the results with mostly corrupted self-serving dirty scoundrel politicians and most despicable leadership on all fronts, with sin and blasphemies against God and his Commandments overflowing through this Land of once truly Free People. I call it a “Nut House” now with factions like BLM or Antifa and Corporate Groups that pull all the Punches and Shots needed in unison with all of the low life politicians; in order to rule this polluted system stepping all over our rights and even now attacking our health and happiness with injecting horrible untested concoctions into our bodies and having us “Lock Down” like prisoners while many criminals are set free to run loose and this while We the People are “Not Free” to move around; as we just witnessed for the last year and a half.

Please try to read on through the entire fairly short article; which will shed some light on what may very well be going on, and what to expect!

Mystery Babylon

Who is the Whore of Revelation 17?

whore

Revelation 17:1 “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, “Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”

There is a popular belief that mystery Babylon refers to the Roman Catholic Church. One of the books most often quoted in support of this idea is Alexander Hislop’s “The Two Babylons”. The problem with this view is the fact that there are many false religions on the face of the earth that are neither Catholic nor Christian! As will be seen, the scriptures speak about this woman, whose origins are from ancient times, long before Christianity took up the cup of her abominations!

The idol Ishtar, from the Babylonian empire, is very likely what is spoken of by Jeremiah the prophet as the queen of heaven (Jer 7:18; 44:16-19)

Jeremiah 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other elohim, that they may provoke me to anger.

Is there any way of identifying this queen of heaven? Looking up Jeremiah 7:18 (quoted above) in a couple of references, we find the following:
1. In the commentary of the Ryrie Study Bible: The queen of heaven. The Assyro-Babylonian goddess Ishtar.
2. In the commentary of the NIV Study Bible: Queen of Heaven. A Babylonian title for Ishtar, an important goddess in the Babylonian pantheon.
3. In Ungers Bible Dictionary it says under the heading “Queen of Heaven” (Hebrew Meleketh hashshamayim, Jer 7:18; 44:17-19, 25) Astarte, an ancient Semitic deity, identical with Babylonian Ishtar (Venus)
Is there any symbol in the world today that represents the idol Ishtar?

Fact: One of the worlds largest idols that has ever been constructed is the Statue of Liberty in the harbor of New York City. According to the following research, the Statue of Liberty is an idol which represents something specific:

The sculptor of the Statue of Liberty was Auguste Bertholdi. He belonged to the Masonic Lodge in Paris. Before beginning the statue of liberty project, Bertholdi was seeking a commission to construct a giant statue of the goddess “Isis,” the Egyptian Queen of Heaven, to overlook the Suez canal. The statue of Isis was to be of “a robed woman holding aloft a torch” [The preceding information is from, “IS THE STATUE OF LIBERTY PAGAN?” by William Dankenbring]

If Revelation 17 is referring to Ishtar, represented by the Statue of Liberty, it would not only be the sins of Christianity, as would be the case with the Roman Catholic Church, but it would include most all false religions on the face of the earth, whereas Islam is possibly the beast. The beast hates the whore (Rev 17:16).
Continuing on in Revelation 17…
Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

It can be seen here that the whore rides upon the seven headed beast, which represent the seven empires that have existed throughout world history (see Daniel 7 and Rev. 13)
Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Mystery Babylon is guilty of being the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. Even though the Roman Catholic Church has been referred to as the mother of the protestant reformation, the mother goddess Ishtar has even deeper roots.

It is interesting to note that ancient Babyon’s chief deity “Ishtar” (AKA “Iana”) held the very same title in Babylon, “Mother of Harlots”.

As Alexander Hislop shows, in his book entitled, “The Two Babylons”, Isis is the Egyptian name for the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, who is also the same as Athena (Greece), Minerva (Egypt and Greece), Astarte (Syria), Cybele (Rome), Ashtoreth (Israel), and Diana (Ephesus).

A site on the internet entitled, Statue of Liberty Facts, makes the following statements: http://yahushua.net/babylon/liberty/libertyfacts.htm
7 Spikes in the Crown represent:
Either Seven Seas:
Arctic, Antarctic, North & South Atlantic,
North & South Pacific, Indian.
SEVEN SEAS — Figuratively, all the waters or oceans of the world.
The phrase probably has its origins in Brahmanic (Hindu) mythology:
The seven seas dividing and surrounding the seven land masses of the earth. In modern times it has been applied to the seven oceans.
Or Seven Continents:
North and South America, Europe,
Asia, Africa, Antarctica, Australia

Continuing on with Revelation chapter 17
Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahushua: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me, “Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.” 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

A familiar explanation of verse 9 is that the seven mountains represent the seven hills of Rome; but how many believe that the seven heads of the beast represent the seven hills of Rome? Notice that in verse nine, it says, “And here is the mind that has wisdom.” So, in order to understand the rest of verse nine, along with verse ten, it requires wisdom…
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of YHWH is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the set-apart is understanding.

In Daniel chapter 7, the seven heads are on four beasts (representing four kingdoms). But, in Revelation 17:10, it says that there are seven kings. So the seven heads represent seven kings, and by implication they can represent seven kingdoms. Can we identify seven kingdoms that have existed, starting from the time of the flood?
It says that five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come. From the time of the flood, there have been five kingdoms that have fallen: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece. The one that was during the time of John was Rome. And one that had not yet come was the Ottoman Empire. It seems that the whore, that rides upon this beast, is the mother of all the false religions within these empires.
According to Revelation 13, the seven headed beast represents the final evil empire during the great tribulation (A culmination of the preceding 7 empires).
As we have already seen (in Revelation 17:1), this woman sits upon many waters. Then in verse 15…
Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, “The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.”
It is interesting that the promoters of the Statue of Liberty claim that the seven spikes of her crown represent the seven seas!

The idol Ishtar (represented by the Statue of Liberty) was known, in ancient Babylon, as the goddess of personal freedom and the goddess of immigrants. The following was taken from, “America the Babylon” by Richard Coombs:
Ishtar was called the matron goddess of prostitution because she promoted sexual freedom. Indeed, she had invented the concept. Slaves considered her their goddess in the hopes of winning their freedom. Many women who gained freedom later turned to prostitution to survive and thereby retained Libertas as their goddess, especially if they became priestesses in the Libertas cult. Libertas was also a goddess of war in order to fight for freedom. She was also referred at times as the goddess of victory because freedom must have victory in order to survive. This goddess was also the goddess of immigrants. The whole idea of immigration connoted the idea of freedom. Her popularity was also unique because of her unique doctrine of hearing personal prayers. This unique doctrine was something that most of the pagan deity doctrines were not disposed towards.

We know that this goddess existed because of the records left behind to us. We have the ancient writings of Cicero who writes of this goddess and her Temple on the Aventine Way in Rome. She was depicted on some Roman coins as wearing a freedom cap and having a wreath along with a spear or sometimes a sword. Such coin images were not the only depictions. Sometimes she was well robed and at other times seductively unclothed in both sculptures and paintings. We know of Libertas being referred to as the Mother of Harlots by the famous Roman historian (and senator) Cicero’s writings. Cicero indicates that she was also a very early goddess of the Greeks even before early Roman civilization developed.

This very freedom has brought to these shores (America) every false religion known to man. Even if one were to have the wisdom of Solomon, they would still be vulnerable to the snares of false religions. Solomon committed fornication with the whore of Revelation 17…
1 Kings 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other elohim: and his heart was not perfect with YHWH his Elohim, as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
Remember that Ashtereth is another name for the Queen of Heaven. Again, Revelation 17, verses 1 and 15 call her a whore that sits upon many waters, which seems to represent the entire world!
Revelation 17:16-17 talks about ten kings hating the whore and making her desolate…
17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17 For YHWH hath put in their hearts to fulfil His will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of YHWH shall be fulfilled.
The Beast is going to be a one world religion/government that will not tolerate religious freedom of any kind. (see 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)
Notice how the following verse in Revelation ties chapter 17, religious Babylon, with chapter 18, commercial Babylon…
Revelation 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

liberty4

By now it should be obvious that the Statue of Liberty represents the whore spoken of in Revelation 17. Not only does the Statue of Liberty represent the religious (idolatrous) freedom found in the United States, but she is also a symbol for New York City, the economic capital of Babylon the Great, spoken of in Revelation 18.

Flee Babylon Commentary NEW

In closing I hope this has been an interesting eye opener for you and will at least help you to stimulate some further thought and conversations with others to seek out God’s Truth and Discern all past, Present and potential Future factors so that you will have the wisdom and insight God wants you to possess in order not to be fooled or led astray! As mentioned in Scriptures a serious horrible event would come about in End Time to eclipse all previous human attacks upon other people that would bring on unbelievable misery, suffering and death before the end!

The Weapon of Indignation will be released upon America by Putin to wipe-out its Grid and this powerful EMP weapon will cripple the entire military and all of its infrastructure plunging the once Great New Babylon the Great into the Stone Age essentially. Putin is the King of the North mentioned in Revelations and of an Atheistic Brutal Communist controlled nation based on the evils that Lenin, Marx and Stalin laid the foundation for through the last century after the 6th Earth Kingdom the Ottoman Empire came to a close; leaving us now with the 7th and final Earthly Kingdom! And it is very likely when one looks at a Global map drawing a line from Moscow in the north and finding it ends up crossing down though Kenya Africa in the South; so Putin is the one mentioned in the book of Revelation while Obama is the King of the South “from Kenya Africa” as he is the true and “Real Illegitimate Shadow President” of the United States who is now ruling America through Biden, and all his corrupted government cohorts; all of which serve Satan.
God bless you.

Why America Will Disappear from World Prominence

On July 30, 2021 By LFTBH AdministratorIn Current Events, MAGA

As noted before, America is nowhere to be found in Bible prophecy. But why would the world’s greatest superpower not play a part in God’s plan of the end? There are lots of potential reasons:

America could be attacked by those intent on our destruction.
Poor judgment by government officials could render America’s military lacking in power and ability to defend itself.
The US could become so distracted by domestic issues that our defenses let down.
Our American economy could collapse, leaving us unable to maintain a strong military.
Enemy regimes could launch a cyber attack, leaving us without ample power to respond.

OR…

The rapture might occur, taking millions of Americans (and others)!

That’s definitely my choice…how about you!?!

But let’s consider something going on in our nation that could play a part in total implosion. If you study history, perhaps you have noticed that immorality tends to precede the fall of nations. Consider what one of our founding fathers, John Adams, had to say:

image-5

I agree. How about you?

There are dozens of things that challenge America’s morals. The murder of millions of unborn babies. Rampant drug use…some of it now legal. Unchecked adultery and promiscuity. Lying, cheating and defrauding. Acceptance of homosexuality and all sorts of deviant behavior.

Even more disturbing is the level at which young people are exposed to such blatant and intentional godlessness. For example, 4th graders in Minnesota were given an “equity survey” and were explicitly told not to tell their parents! You can read that story here.

https://dailycaller.com/2021/07/26/students-were-told-not-to-tell-their-parents-about-a-fourth-grade-equity-survey-critical-race-theory/?tpcc%3D=newsletter

That is only one example of the effort by the socialist left to brainwash our children and lead them down paths of immorality and lawlessness.

The Bible teaches us that Israel will eventually stand alone, and that all nations will be brought before the Lord in judgment. Yet, there are people from all over the world risking their lives to break into the United States! Why is that?

Could it be that, despite the downward spiral happening in our country, America is still a great nation? As Mike Pompeo states, “America is exceptional!” Indeed we are, thanks to the grace of God.

Now the question: How do we continue to make America exceptional?

Not by might, nor by power. Not by political maneuvering, but by Christians becoming involved in every phase of society (including running for office)!

Where has God placed you? Are you being used by Him to advance His Kingdom?

23 Let’s hold firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24 and let’s consider how to encourage one another in love and good deeds, 25 not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
~Hebrews 10:23-25

As we consider what is being taught to our young people, let’s seek out ways to hold fast, encourage one another, and join together in worship. Let’s overcome the brainwashing, and let’s teach our kids truth from God’s Word. The day of Jesus’ return is drawing near. Are you ready?

Last Chance to Wake-up?

“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

Another blogger wrote a very nice piece about how Salvation is by faith not fear which was in reference to the COVID-19 scare sweeping the globe.  This article went on to explain how past catastrophes have come and gone and each time there  were those that while all the turmoil or uncertainty was in play people showed up at church that hadn’t in a long while or maybe never, then later when the danger was gone they slipped right back into their usual sinful nature.  It spoke about how people seek comfort and others to quell their fear and consternation.  I want to allow you to read a comment I made to another blog last night which touched on this same concern and how I was seeing too much lip service as usual and the same old routine of almost pretend we care.  More like when there was a snowstorm when we were kids and we got to stay home, so then we were on the phone with our friends and having a bit of fun instead of doing our school work at home like we should.  Today this article mentioned the attack of America on 9/11/2001 just as I had mentioned it last night in this following comment, which I refer to today’s article.  “I left a comment on a NYC resident’s blog where it was a consoling sort of love-in as I saw it and I know how people are just like this blog you presented here says!  And quite interesting how it specifically referred to the attack on America on 9/11/2001 by outright evil satanic Jihadists!”

9 11 7

My comment to the blog last night follows:

You sound like you’re getting on the page I’ve been ranting about for a while!  Perhaps you and millions of others are ready to re-calibrate and focus on the fact that the human race has gotten too big for its britches as the old saying goes and feel too high and mighty or are living day to day like machines that don’t think so good, even though they are under the deluded false impression that they have the world by the, excuse the expression, by the balls!  I’ve been saying this in many of my blogs too, how people are way too self-serving and arrogant and they went beyond ignoring God, but they instead decided to play God, be their own world unto themselves and figure they can do as they damn well please, and butt out everybody, even God!  Don’t anyone take me wrong here, I can see why people got this way in our modern materialistic high tech world of convenience, being lulled into an almost zombie like pace and style of living; but we’ve had serious wake up calls before (9/11) and people don’t ever seem to learn or get their shit wired and make up their minds that they better live on the straight and narrow from now on.

9 11 8

They just slip back into their old habits as soon as the dust settles and the dark cloud passes us by!  I’m sorry to say, but I think it’s going to take a lot more than a COVID-19 scare to shake the “bejesus” out of enough people to come clean and fess up!  Look at our National Seat of Power with people like, Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Feinstein, Maxine the Crazy Machine and so many others that are so corrupted and dirty there is no going back now, they are going to die wicked and greedy pigs!  Sorry, I hate to be morbid under such sad conditions but I may cool off and get back to seeing the light shining through, not the clouds, but though “human consciences” hopefully soon and have wonderful things to report to anyone who will listen.

9 11 10

I do think there are still so many people that want to do the right thing and make a good world that is in tune with what Jesus told us to do when he was here.  But, we have way too many bad people running things and that has to stop I think before enough substantive change can occur!  Sorry, people are ruining this world, so we better pray harder than ever to be delivered from this madness, especially for the sake of all the innocent kids and babies!  I hope it is going to change for the better, I do!

God Bless!

I want to add some additional thoughts about this fear factor and related ideas.

Now to this point about fear!  I believe everyone should have a healthy dose of fear as we are all fallen and our souls are a glimmer away from eternal damnation if not for the Lamb of God who took away sin on the cross at Calvary, for those who will abide in Him!  But, I think some people get the idea it’s not hard at all Jesus did us all a favor and took care of all the dirty details of our transgressing nature, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak,” and our souls that have at least original sin and I dare say most of us are nothing but dirty rags, without Jesus and His salvation, we’re not even worthy to be near Holy God Almighty let alone look at Him!  No as in Holy Scripture it tells us clearly:

“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12

Not fearing the things of this world is fine but fear of God is wise as it humbles us to make certain we know we aren’t worthy in the slightest and we are not home free until we are past the pearly gates so there is no slacking or doing as we damn well please then just when it’s time to face death we suddenly can say hey I’m good I like Jesus and always did!

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” Romans 3:10

“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 1 John 1:8

I can safely say I believe that nobody on this earth does enough to hold themselves up as a prize to God, only Jesus could claim victory over all things seen and unseen.  Are we worthy of praise for some of the things we have done for others or in the name of Jesus, surely some of us can rest assured of that, but we can also be certain that we carry sin and guilt that will not go away and we will not be free of until we are in heaven with God the Father through and by the forgiveness of our transgressions only by Jesus Christ Himself, and that is why we need to be concerned to a great degree if we don’t call it outright fear, we are all in jeopardy and are in a most tumultuous world these days full of vanity and sin in so many basic things we participate in which serve the beast or the prince of this world and not our heavenly Father.   Can we judge ourselves, of course not, we are mere humans that die, but the one who can is who we should fear because we don’t know whether we are truly worthy until He the Lord our God tells us so!

“I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.” Jeremiah 17:10

What we want to hear from our Lord when we stand before him is simply this:  “Well done, good and faithful servant!” Matthew 25:23.

Now when people try to fool God they lose.   If this COVID-19 is a wake-up call I feel it is potentially a last chance, then again maybe not, but it very well could be and that is how the world should look at it as a last opportunity to come clean, because He sees how evil this world has become and the good is more and more suppressed each year!   Abortions by the millions each year alone is a mockery and abomination that transgresses God horribly, so we are in a deep hole full of manure and as my dad used to tell me as a kid when I got wise-ass or a chip on my shoulder; “don’t try to bullshit me.”  He would go on to say, “if you did wrong you best admit it and take the consequences, so you can learn from it and not do it again.”  My dad meant business and that taught me and tells me now how God is fed up with us here on earth and things better start going in the right direction with so many leaders and peoples, because if not all hell will break loose, because God may allow His wrath to pour out by perhaps allowing evil to prevail sooner rather than later, via-a-vis the antichrist, and that is Scriptural obviously, but still much can be avoided if people will stop and turn to HIM so that many more souls will be saved!  Then on bent knee in humble supplication ask for His mercy and help; to only do His will.

I see in this world today how so many opportunities have been given to us to allow the human race to come together with forthrightness and honorable truth that was given to us from God, but all they do is attack one another, even if it is only mind or cyber space attacking it’s all wrong!

Keep praying and changing for the better!

Lawrence Morra

 

Post Script 3/18/2020

Steady and true is our course!  If our focus is truly upon the Lord, then our destination is a certainty that nothing can change!  One day at a time seeking His will we move closer to Him. “For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7.  Thank you brothers and sisters in Christ, for your faithful efforts in serving our Lord! 🙏

Today, we celebrate the many women in our lives whose wisdom and kindness have guided our paths and enriched our lives in countless ways. They are our own mothers and mother figures; our sisters and our daughters; our nieces and our aunts; our friends and our neighbors. They are as different as the stars in the sky, but share one thing in common—their selfless devotion to others that reflects God’s love for His children. Although a simple poem can’t fully do them justice, I’m sharing one today that I hope might bring a smile of remembrance to your face—and a spark of joy to your soul. If you know someone who could use the same, I invite you to forward this card to them, too. May God bless you today and always! Father Gus Baek, S.D.B.

Purpose and Sacrifice

“There is no greater love than this: that a person would lay down his life for the sake of his friends”

Birds in Jungle kiss sm pint

All souls are always being tested; but like no other time the process is building to a crescendo by factors that have never existed on planet earth!

“There is no greater love than this: that a person would lay down his life for the sake of his friends.” John 15:13

“24Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. 25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:24-26

“32Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven. 33But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven. 34Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:32-34

In this present extremely technological age, a very secular materialistic self-centered global culture the occasion of a person absolutely willing to give up his own life so he could allow others to live is even more rare today; but it happens. Back in the day I was told by some World War II Veterans; that acts of courage and complete sacrifice happened as they personally witnessed some soldiers singlehandedly run straight into a machine gun nest and toss a grenade into the encampment to neutralize the enemy that had been wiping out many soldiers as they were attempting to take the hill or high ground; but in the process this selfless duty bound soldier did what needed to be done, saving many of his fellow soldiers and advanced the goal of overtaking the enemy in order to win the battle and eventually end the war!

“My kind of people,” the real heroes who are the complete opposite of the bottom feeding parasites who occupy Washington and many places throughout who are the oligarchy elitists!

God bless them all!  Amen.

“A dying breed, today these people are lazy; yes also arrogant and selfish.”

This past Wednesday I was at a retail shopping plaza where two major retail stores are located.  I parked my vehicle in the parking lot in front of the store where I needed to buy the items. When I was finished I had just put my supplies in the vehicle and thought I actually do need to shop in the other store, but decided I don’t need to drive my vehicle through the large parking areas to get closer to that store, because I have two legs and I’m fully capable of doing the little hike over to the other store.

After shopping there I walked out with the shopping carriage and walked to the other parking lot and unloaded those items, and because the shopping carriage was the property of the store I just purchased those items from I thought that it wouldn’t be right to leave their shopping carriage in another retail outlets parking lot.  So I wanted to take the hike through the parking lots to the front of the store and put that carriage in the area where it belongs. As I got there I suddenly saw another man coming around from behind some parked cars and trucks with a shopping carriage and he looked me straight in the eyes and said, “we’re a dying breed,” to which I replied yes that’s true people have changed, when he then said, “they’re lazy,” and I then added, very arrogant and selfish too.

2093745-William-Arthur-Ward-Quote-Greatness-is-not-found-in-possessions

I think God intended on that encounter to happen as a Godsend and it was a direct recognition of what I had been thinking about that day and much of the week, about how people have changed so much for the worse, in this present time.  I thought how I’ve seen a drastic radical change in just the years since I was a boy to now, where things have grown progressively very sad and cold, very vicious; and how people like frightened animals are getting more nasty with each other while self-preservation is ruling their thinking as well as their hearts too much; making the old adage, “it’s a dog eat dog world,” very true.  But this whole experience did fit what I had been contemplating writing in this latest essay, and served as an encouragement!

Now we come to what’s to me a very profoundly important conversation I had with a really good guy that works for the government locally who has an equally good wife and teenage children; a wonderful family!  He and I would have lengthy conversations during the most harrowing time period in my life when it seemed for all intent and purposes that I had been fighting a long battle on my own because the system and most people are too jaded, corrupted or very heartless toward even a person who has been wronged and severely damaged both physically and emotionally primarily for speaking truth and taking a stand opposing the corruption; to only bring positive change. Then as this new found ally had put it, “it’s like you’re being tested by fire.”

Tested by Fire sm print

Purpose and Sacrifice

What did Jesus say; that there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for another? Sacrifice, isn’t this the ultimate duty of all who wish to do God’s will in this short life or temporary existence on earth? If we are to imitate Christ during our trials and tribulations here, should we do less, than to give up what is most precious to each of us, to freely give in to that, means to an end? To make an offering of our own selves out of love and compassion for others, so that in doing this we provide an opportunity for those who receive our ultimate sacrifice, to learn and grow in their own understanding and appreciation by our example, of what this life here is really all about, so that they who are and become more enlightened can know and fully appreciate the love that God has for each of us.

thinredline

During a special conversation I had with this new friend I spoke about “The Thin Red Line,” and how I recognized that Jim Caviezel played the part of a Christ like figure named Witt; when he told the two younger recruits with him to go on ahead without him, to make their escape down the river, while he will distract the attention of the enemy, the Japanese soldiers, in order that these two innocent victims of circumstance, (they were unfairly assigned such a dangerous mission), can make their escape to safety.  But, more importantly they will learn about selfless compassionate love, what it really means; to love one another also as I have loved you.  This kind of act is obviously a moment of awakening, revelation and even rebirth. In that moment of self-actualization, those two young recruits were given the gift of continued life here in this physical plane of existence by another giving up his own precious life and blood, so that, more importantly they might go on to learn that it is not this life that is most important but rather, the Life to Come, and that what we all should recognize is that the belief of an eternal life to come is more real and precious than this temporary one could ever be.  This life is like the mere flickering of a flame in its delicate balance between light and darkness, as it dances for a short while, only to be extinguished any moment without warning or recourse into oblivion.  Not even a memory of the beautiful flickering flame of light would exist if not for the Power and Glory of God.  Only through God’s Majesty and Glory can the inner meaning of pure never ending love be found or can our lives be of any real value, for without “eternal love” there can be no “purpose” or significance to anything we perceive and experience here in the flesh.  “It’s only love that makes all of us greater than the sum total of these chemical and biological earthly forms,” and, it was the greatest love that began or sent forth this journey through time and space, in order that we may all be part of that “Glorious One’s Eternal Kingdom.” For now we are all mere babes in the woods seeking and only trying to find our way home, but, “having to learn that without love there is no way home” and more poignantly that “there is no home at all without absolute true love.”  Only God can give and only God can take away, that which was given so freely and with absolute perfection.  Yes, we all do ourselves, and, more importantly others, more good by laying down that which does not really belong to us, but, rather to God the Creator of all things.  To know God and Love God with all of our being should be our main purpose as we journey forth always seeking to do God’s will.

Witt Back stare down Japs sm print 1

As this scene in the story progresses to Witt being shot, it’s like he is suddenly seeing his life flash before him as I see it; but the place his soul is immediately experiencing on his way to heaven is seen as the time he had spent with the island children swimming under the ocean surf, so free and oblivious; quite carefree!  Which to me is reminiscent of being born, going back to that most beautiful precious time any of us have experienced in our short lives; when completely innocent in our mother’s womb!  Being in that tiny secure ocean of love and life so intimately connected and protected; insulated from the worries of the world, which once we came into it we immediately have to cry; and will many times to come!

Witt in water lg print

Witt had a mission to take those two, wet behind the ears, fresh recruits sent on a dangerous mission that would surely get them all killed once surrounded by the enemy forces up the river; but Witt foreseeing just how potentially hopeless and fatal this mission was even for experienced soldiers, offered at the last second to accompany them!  Once up the river heading into enemy fire and overwhelming numbers Witt decided that it wasn’t a fair assignment; especially not for those two young men! So he took it upon himself to give them the time they needed to get back to the platoon and safety while he distracted the enemy; drawing them away from the recruits but surely setting himself up for a fall!  He laid down his life out of love for his friends!

There were variations on this theme, like when some WWII Army recruits were only 16 having fudged a document in order to meet the minimum age requirement to enlist and even made speedy progress to become battle hardened soldiers.  One such soldier ended up in the thick of it being in some of the worst combat battles in the history of the war and singlehandedly fought off overwhelming enemy combatants in the battle field, saving many of his fellow soldiers!  One such hero was a young man that joined the Army at 16 years of age who during the war rose to the rank of 2d Lieutenant and later after the war became a Hollywood movie star; Audie Murphy!

5a3b1b0b1b5a6e5b5575e2e0c630232f9c5b29882b22521a60de7c93f924d848_1

“He was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II. He received every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism.” Wikipedia

Watching this longer clip of the film “The Thin Red Line” gives a better sense of the heroic sacrifice that is required by some to fulfill a purpose that God ordains in His infinite wisdom by means of His will, to those he chooses to accomplish a given purpose which ultimately brings the intrinsic meaning or purpose to our lives in a multitude of situations; which is all centered on God’s eternal love, and there are many who do His will!

Who are we to question God or His ways and purposes!  Didn’t He give up His only begotten Son our Savior Jesus Christ, to take away all the sins of the world; that all of us have and will commit! Sacrifice is crucial in all of our lives, at least on some level we should all be willing to sacrifice and give more than we receive!

Acts 20:35 “And I have shown you everything, that thus it is necessary to labor and to take care of those who are weak and to remember the words of our Lord Yeshua, who said, ‘He who gives is more blessed than he who receives.’”

We Are in The Time of the Great Apostasy

“New Age gurus”
“Many paths to what you call God”

Apostasy 2

Treachery, abundant narcissism and all manner of false beliefs are being promulgated at lightening speed throughout the world in this High Tech Digital Age, which is a luscious tool for the Devil to utilize now, to usher into earthly power through all demonic forces; in order to dominate God’s children seeking to bring them to hell to worship him.

America in apostasy storm

Persons like Oprah Winfrey and many top billed celebrities are preaching to the world that it’s not a big deal everyone gets to make it to the next level and live on happily. Of course it’s easy for her to say being so saturated and caught up in the materialistic secular world of earthly power and wealth which spoils and corrupts the human heart making it a good tool of the Devil’s. Proof of that is what Oprah said here, “Many paths to what you call God.” She has endorsed Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, and other “New Age gurus;” basically making her a cultist and rejecter of Jesus Christ the one True and Living God Almighty; antichrist!

“Take a few moments and imagine a religion where Jesus did not come to die on the cross, where there is no heaven, no hell, no sin, no salvation, no doctrine, where all spiritual paths in the world are equally valid and where “god” is in you and in everything else you see.”

INGLÉS, ciegos que guían a ciegos

That is the religion of Oprah Winfrey.

“It is also the New Age “one world religion” that many other spiritual gurus throughout the world have been trying to bring to fruition.

In fact, this religious movement is summed up very well by the lyrics of “Imagine” by the Beatles (who also were highly influenced by New Age religion).” curezone.org

In this older broadcast recording Oprah is definitely saying that Jesus Christ is not “The Way the Truth and the Life;” and saying not all people know about Jesus so how can that be true! So she speaks for God and overrides the Truth of God, that His plan is going according to plan, but not according to Oprah or any other self-styled Guru imperfect human being who has no power at all!

Apostasy devils

“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11)

In the midst of Paul’s exhortations to the church of Philippa, we find a verse stating that every knee will bow to Jesus. It begs the question as to why all heavenly beings and humanity will bow before Jesus.

93059a5540562745bde76926a5567df1--lds-seminary--thessalonians

This verse is speaking of a future time, specifically, when the second coming of Jesus happens. This timeline adds understanding as to why every knee will bow. When Jesus returns, this visible coming will force all to acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. There will be no doubt, no debate, and no question when Jesus comes a second time that he truly is who he said he was.

Although there are people of every generation who have doubted who Jesus was, or rejected the Gospel message, when Jesus returns, there will be no disputing who Jesus is. No one will be able to deny who Jesus is once he returns. Therefore, every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus is indeed the Lord of all.

These verses declare that, “those in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth (v. 10)” will kneel before Jesus and profess he is Lord. Those in heaven refers to the heavenly and angelic beings. Those on earth refers to humanity. Those under the earth most likely refers to demonic beings.

Essentially, this part of the verse conveys in the most comprehensive way possible that all will bow to Jesus, not just human beings. To be clear, this passage is not conveying that all people will come to be saved. On the contrary, it affirms that even those who chose to not make Jesus their Lord will one day kneel before him and acknowledge who Jesus is.  biblestudytools.com

judgment

In both of Paul’s citations of Isaiah 45:23, he is echoing the truth that there will come a time when “every knee shall bow and every tongue confess” to the glory of God. In the Philippians citation, Paul is declaring the divinity of Jesus when he says that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Him as Lord. This is a clear indication of what will occur at the Second Coming of Christ. During the first advent, Christ came in humiliation and died a humiliating death on the cross for the sins of the world. In His second advent, Christ will come with power as the Conquering King. When that happens, it will be as our Lord Himself predicted in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 25:31–46) and as the vision the apostle John received in Revelation 20:11–15. When the King of kings and the Lord of lords returns to this earth, then will come true what the prophet Isaiah foretold all those years ago: “Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall swear allegiance.”   gotquestions.org

Even the current fraud pope is caught in the secularism mode and runs with not only the big movers and shakers of the worldly government political system but also with the Devil just like they do!

Falling away

These people push a universal church new age designer religion now saying all roads lead to heaven and not to worry God isn’t so mean and horrible that he would punish human beings to eternal suffering, that would be so gross and not like an all loving God!  These fools don’t stop to think that God gave us the Ten Commandments to absolutely live by as a necessary standard along with all of the Holy Scriptures to guide us with the Holy Spirit in order to avoid the quagmire of sin and lose our way to Salvation that only comes through Jesus Christ the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world; no other way!  Why else would God himself become a human being, only He born as the perfect one, who would then only as the pure human take on all the sins of others as the Pure Sacrificial Lamb Redemption to allow Himself to become the everlasting covenant by which humans can seek redemption their individualized salvation by means of a personal relationship with Jesus thusly God the Father through Jesus in order to be found worthy to be in God’s glorious HOLY presence! Some people just don’t get it and think that God can be with sin or imperfection because He can’t; that is impossible He is PERFECT and HOLY, so in order for any of us dirty corrupted souls to be purged and redeemed to make new or be born again as a pure child of the Light of His Holiness and then join Him in heaven for eternity; He put forth His perfect plan, but, we must be receptive to it and accept all of His God Truth.  Too many people today want to believe what they want, and not abide in God’s promise based on the requirements necessary to partake of His pure Holiness and be a part of Him in heaven; being an heir and family member not by deed or half promises but by His Glorious Sanctification through His everlasting covenant through the redemptive process!

I think also that some people talk themselves into believing otherwise because they twist things around saying that God already died for our sins so because of His mercy we are a done deal; and if we sin so what.

He fixes or balances the Books or shall we say can put anyone’s name in the Book of Life and you’re home free! If it was that simple and easy then why does God allow this madness to ensue for millennia, why not just scoop up all the souls and purify them and say done deal, you are my eternal children and be done with it!   Free Will must have a solid part in what we end up becoming because without that we are knockoffs; carbon copies to be mass produced for His pleasure or simple little servant robots!  We are made in God’s image and likeness with Free Will having to be a huge part of that image to know and express genuine eternal love, along with creativity and individual uniqueness or total individuality, real and tangible beyond what matter is, so this that we are in now is a mere shadow of what will be in a glorified body existence, being like God.  And without these traits as I said we are nothing but mass produced things nothing like the “I am that I am Omnipotent Alpha and the Omega Almighty Creator,” of all things seen and unseen!  All children we know even in this imperfect condition are like their parents in various ways!

So I wanted to mention all of this because far too many people are living in a delusion as I see it and think they are doing just dandy and fine when in fact they are screwed if they stay on that path they love traveling called the have it my way at Burger King, or to be even more serious just try what “I call my best,” and in the end God will just with all that Greatness and Mercy say no problem all that wickedness and transgression you did, I can make it evaporate and like it never happened, so you get to even be a train wreck for now, because after all you have free will, and you are surely going to want to do what you please or whatever floats your boat while you have the chance; so go for it because as God He really can’t blame you for that, allowing temptations to rule your behavior and heart; or can He?  Yes he can, because if you could have done the right thing, which your conscience tells you very easily, but instead you kept choosing to do the wrong; that makes you a rebellious transgressor, which is what got Lucifer booted out of heaven where as a top ranking spiritual angel being, he was doing beautifully until his own pride and free will ability tripped him up!  Of course God knows all things and is timeless so He knew this would happen but He has had a plan to have an eternal family of children in His kingdom so for that to be accomplished many good and bad things would be set in motion to allow for our creation and free agency, which would mean some eventually make it to the Promised Land with God while many others would not of their own volition and would be the chaff of the wheat, and the sheep would thusly be separated from the goats!

Proverbs 16:3-5 “3Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be achieved. 4The LORD has made everything for His purpose— even the wicked for the day of disaster. 5Everyone who is proud in heart is detestable to the LORD; be assured that he will not go unpunished.”

“29For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified. 31What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?  Romans 8:29-31

So these Scriptures clearly point out that not everyone just gets in a sense a free get out of jail (hell card) or free pass to get through the narrow gate and on to eternal bliss!

“13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

When Jesus spoke directly to his lead shepherd Peter who He picked for good reason because God knew in advance exactly what possibility ultimately Peter represented knowing all things just like He knew what Judas would end up doing to the Son of man with such a betrayal of the Most High!  As this is how all things are working for the good of God’s plan and nothing else; its ONLY God’s will that must be and will be done on earth as it is in heaven; “freely” with devout love and all to achieve the planned ultimate end; that God has ordained from His Glorious Omnipotence!

17Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven. 18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:17-19

So don’t listen to vain and decadent celebrities or false prophets but only allow your deepest heart to be open to Jesus Christ who will make sure the Comforter comes and instructs you in all things you need to know to walk in paths of righteousness unto His everlasting glory! Amen.

Pope Francis stated “NEVER Try to Convert Unbelievers” reblog of 1/14/2020 post

“Words from a Pope or False Prophet”

Due to a follower’s like of this post today I decided to go back to this blog posting of mine and add a bit of additional information as an amendment to the original, which pertains to the comments as well as the text body; so please also read the comments.

What follows is my response to a blog today regarding another apparent misdirection of the faithful by the active Pope Francis.  I had to get into a more comprehensive explanation and chronicling of my own experiences that have led me to have my current perspective and belief that comprehensive efforts on many fronts including the Vatican are actively working to discredit the faith and renounce God’s word that Jesus Christ is “the Way, the Truth and the Life.” 

It appears from Holy Scripture what Francis is saying flies in the face of what the Lord Himself has commanded us to do.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God.” He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

I have a few things to add here!  First I apologize for this extremely long comment but so many people around the globe need to get real.  We are living in a most unprecedented time like no other in history when the digital age and information overload is non-stop, which is good and bad! The good side is that spreading the word of God and the Good news of the Salvation though Jesus Christ has never been so facilitated!  But, the double-edged sword is at work in this, because Satan is using many of the advantages of high speed digital communication to confuse, misinform and outright deceive in earnest as the father of lies having these modern tools at his disposal!  We now see a Pope that is false and I dear say he appears to be supporting the beast which I’ve become aware of over the last several years like many of you!  My mother based on her long life experience and being a parishioner of the RCC had been saying for the last dozen years that Jesus is in a sense being  crucified again by an out of control secular world and culture of death.  Obviously materialism and vain exploits riddle the earthly societies tremendously while so many turn away from seeking God and prefer pleasure, lust and all manner of instant gratification.  This leads to all manner of perversions and abuse which we read about or see on TV or the net news daily.  Is it any wonder hatreds and violence plague our man-made system.  This is to me a spiritual warfare like no other that has increased exponentially over the last 30 to 40 years and especially since 9/11/2001 which to me was a definite demarcation line or event to clearly show that two opposing ideologies or beliefs that have been colliding for well over several hundreds of years are now being set-up for a major showdown which is of course The Battle between Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and the antichrist.

On Christmas 2018 I was interacting that whole week with connections of mine on a social media platform sharing happiness and prayers for peace and salvation when a rabble-rouse agent or troll kept appearing on this one particular post and he increased his insults at our belief in Jesus and indeed upon Jesus with many carefully orchestrated rants that seemed to both promote atheism and then Nation of Islam which ultimately appeared to be the mindset of this derelict hateful minion!  I am a passionate person and yes I can become a bit angry when wicked people offend or attack those I love!  I tried for the days leading up to Christmas to be intellectual each time this individual kept appearing not letting well enough alone and allowing those of us of faith to have a peaceful joyous Christmas to share and celebrate the birth of our Savior!  I will not just pass it off I thought; so I took it as a “direct attack” by evil, which I never experienced on Christmas by anyone my entire life until then!  I know from this event and so many others that were painful challenges in my personal life over the last several years or more that this is pure evil at work in the world and it seeks out anyone of faith to attack viciously with its sole purpose to dishearten or trouble the faithful while completely confusing the weak and lost; it is pure hatred I witnessed not only of Jesus but of all His faithful.  This Pope speaks in contradictions and I never thought that I would say such a thing having been brought up a Catholic and knowing in my heart I truly love Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!  But, I won’t go into all of my reasons except one is that I reached out to this Pope at the Vatican during one of my more if not most troubled periods in my entire life where I was up against powers and principalities; or very corrupted political slaves of the Devil in my locale and I got “Zero Response” back from the Pope when at least some acknowledgement regarding the matter which I explained in great detail in a letter of several pages; would have been appropriate.  Now I realize I should have sent it to Benedict XVI instead, but I was duped like so many to believe we had a new Pope Francis.  Now in light of the most recent betrayals of the Church and its faithful this Pope has sealed his fate in my view as being derelict in the least or possibly diabolical at worst.

Before I show you what I said to that attacker of our Lord on Christmas Day 2018 I ask that you focus on this Scripture which says it all in my heart and mind as to why I felt it important to share this long explanation.

“Turn to me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn;
from my mouth has gone out in righteousness
a word that shall not return:
‘To me every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall swear allegiance
.”   Isaiah 45:22-23

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.”
  Philippians 2:9-11

Victoria, for a couple of days leading up to Christmas and right on Christmas this phony and deceptive guy who was commenting on a post about the two Scandinavian young ladies beheaded kept twisting truth like the Devil to make Jesus nothing more than some guy like Muhammad. His denouncing Jesus and Christianity therefore on Christmas set me off onto my mission, as he would not stop it no matter how many important things I tried to explain to him.  He was a clever deceiver.  He did however stop after this piece I wrote to him on the post!

Tony Aツaz Your own words; “live the way you want and not dictate as you are just a human and not a messenger of GOD, like Jesus and Muhammad were.” “Muslim hoax I am wondering how you equate a “hoax” with facts of an Islamic Empire.”      Wonder NO MORE, Pay Attention and learn of your blaspheming error!  You have a huge inaccuracy that needs to be corrected!  Saying that Jesus is another prophet like Muhammad is blasphemous.  First Jesus was not a mere prophet but was God Himself and therefore the Redeemer and Savior of Mankind as he said.  Muhammad was only a supposed prophet and there is irrefutable evidence in the historical text of the time he lived that points to his being an outright liar and heretic as well as a criminal and child molester along with his being a polygamist!  The following statements are highly accurate and actually proven.

“In 632, only months before he died, Muhammad apparently met for the first time with a Christian community as such.  An official delegation of Christians, probably led by a bishop, came to Mecca from Najran in Yemen.  After engaging the Christians in discussion, the Prophet is said to have realized that Christian teachings are indeed incompatible with Islam, after which the revelation followed that only Islam is acceptable to God as a religion.  The Quran also says very specifically that those who refer to Jesus as God are blasphemers, and that Christians saying that Christ is the son of God is an imitation of Jews, who earlier had said that Ezra is the son of God.  According to the Quran Jesus was only a servant; Jesus the son of Mary was no more than an apostle of God.  Quranic verses dealing with Jesus’ death have been interpreted differently by commentators, but generally they have been taken to mean that Jesus did not die by crucifixion.  For Christians the Quran has thus served as a denial of Jesus’ incarnation and death on the cross and of the reality of the Trinity.” (Oxford University Press)

These two points alone put Islam and the Muslims completely at odds with Jesus Christ and all Christians and are the enemies of such!  Muhammad himself began this conflict and was the spoiler and Heretic directly attacking God’s plan as foretold by all the previous prophets going all the way back to Abraham. Things have been in conflict because of Muhammad ever since and are getting worse, this will not resolve until Islam is Chastised or obliterated as a fake religion started by a false prophet and therefore heretic!  In Summary Muslims are in complete denial of what Jesus Christ said and who He was which makes them Anti-Christ and supportive of the Devil and all that is unholy.  Basically Muhammad started this Blasphemy back in 632 AD and outright declared War on Christendom!  Islam you yourself stated is an EMPIRE which puts it in the category of being a Nation not a Religion!  It is not a religion that is backed up with solid historical evidence and prophecy over time by many prophets other than what Muhammad said; he made it all up, the heretic!  Islam seeks to conquer and must be stopped!  And it will be! God’s avenging angels are going to obliterate Islam and any of its followers, they are minions of Satan!

After this experience on Christmas day 2018 the likes of which I had never experienced any such blatant antichrist in your face attack, during a most important religious observance activity for Christians, tells me that we are in the end times, as Satan is working through all means available at a fever pitch to attack Christianity and it’s faithful; because the time is drawing near for God to return!  Of course I could be off by many years but this is my hunch as there are so many signs and I was attacked by evil several years ago to stop me from being a witness and faithful one for Jesus.  A woman of a consecrated Catholic order told me back then that there was a reason I was suffering for Jesus and it would become apparent at some point in the future why I was being prepared!  Now I see in retrospect that God did want me to do something for Him and it could be just to be doing as I am or maybe something more; like a priest told me recently, “wait and see!”

God Bless You.  Amen.

Lawrence Morra III

“He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him” (John 5:23, 24)

Because we who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior believe in the blessed trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that the Father and Son are one; when we glorify Jesus we are glorifying the Father.  Therefore, the eternal glorification of the Father is through the Son Jesus Christ.  If any people will not willingly give praise and glory to God in this life, they will do it against their own will throughout eternity.  It’s made clear through God’s word to all who seek Truth, Hope and Salvation from a sinful world that in many instances is barely even a distorted reflection of God’s Glory, we must do our best to not be deceived making sure to discern God’s will from that of the worldly beast or even ourselves.

Thanks be to God.  Amen.

Note: Upon my actual completion of this Blog in the very early morning hours today a comment showed up in my email from the author of that parallel blog which I’ve included with my reply below in the comment section in-case you’re interested.  Thank you.

Pope Francis stated “NEVER Try to Convert Unbelievers”

Further clarification needed here for lack of thorough communication on this one point! I realize Jackie commenting in the original post said more than I agreed to. I was agreeing that first Francis is not a pope; I know he is a fraud pope just like America now has a fraud President Biden, which doesn’t make all previous presidents frauds.  The point of God being the Father who is in heaven is absolute, and no pope or anyone in the universe stands in for the Father; only Jesus Christ was the physical and spiritual presence of God the Father on earth with us, the Holy Trinity.  This only occurred when Jesus was born a human being and became our Savior; meanwhile He is in heaven seated with the Father giving us the only direct presence of the Father which we can have now that is through Jesus Christ, which then allows the Comforter or Holy Spirit of God the Father to teach and guide us as we seek to serve the Father, doing His will alone.

John 14: 25-27 “All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you. 27Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.”

Amendment on 3/15/2022

In addition to the comment just mentioned that you may want to read I now ask that you consider these newest additional thoughts and historical information I wrote today to hopefully further convey to you how we must be very careful what we are believing and following due to the attacks upon the Church from it’s infancy and on throughout the millennia, all of which is meant to distort, disrupt and severely damage it; in order to confuse, scatter, isolate and otherwise divert God’s children away from His Church; placing them in severe jeopardy of being deceived as we now see happening in the Church!  And how subsequently many Christians are falling away as prophesied would happen in Latter Days with a Great Apostasy; secularism, atheism and pagan belief with even completely distorted and perverted Christianity is rampant now.  Thank you for your patience and understanding but most important for trying your best to understand God’s will through our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

The rapid spreading of teachings could lead to different interpretations and practices of the faith right from the beginning, by a people who either were living as pagans believing in many gods or following Old Testament teachings handed down over the millennia from the prophets; but in either case straying or violating God’s word could easily occur.

To prevent that following the book of Acts came the Epistles of Paul, Peter and John by which the foundational doctrines of the very beginning of Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church were implemented; and we must remember that in that early stage and for centuries there were no massive numbers of the Bible for peoples throughout the world to sit and read daily as we now so conveniently have today and throughout much of the modern times.  But even for those that could have a copy of God’s word it could be easily taken and intentionally or unintentionally manipulated for self-designed intentions and this has eventually happened throughout history since the time when Christianity began to flourish and even now in the present when God’s word is readily available!

Paul, Peter and John were the core leaders of the apostles who were following the directives very closely as to what their teacher our Savior Jesus taught and instructed them to do.  This was why they wrote the Epistles which were and still are to Catholics foundational guidance meant to provide a structured clearer understanding of God’s word carefully interpreted and provided to the communities or societies wherever disciples of Christ go into the world to spread the Good News! Think of South America and Central America how many of the people there in those locales predominantly are Catholic Christians who are believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, there in those many nations that not many centuries ago were still believing in horrible falsehoods and pagan blasphemies that even included as in the Mayan Civilization the sacrificing of infants and adults both; to false gods and I say to Satan! The Roman Catholic Church that Peter started was given to the world as the order directly from Christ to Peter His leading Disciple; to build His Church, means he is directly responsible for this great Godly accomplishment and service to our Lord Jesus Christ which he did by being the greatly humbled faithful and completely loyal lead servant shepherd who did suffer for doing it being put to death eventually! Now think for a moment if you were the Devil would you not be extremely jealous of those so obedient to God that built this Church as a beacon of light and promise for eternal life as well as all those that follow it!  Would you as the Devil want nothing more than to disrupt, attack and bring ruin to this “Saving Beacon of Hope” to the world that is providing “God’s Truth” through the “Direct Ministry of Christ” being facilitated by these Catholic priests and servants who are bringing multitudes to the alter of God in the name of “Jesus Christ” to be “saved from death!”  So of course throughout the centuries and indeed the millennia Satan has attacked the Church from the outside by misdirecting faithful Catholics just like we see now in Washington with a most vile man Biden or a most despicable woman like Pelosi ruling in government affairs globally effecting so many in a negative extremely harmful way, both on a secular level of life and most harmful the spiritual life actually damaging faith deeply, while saying they are Catholics to further discredit God’s Church, and poison the well as it were!  But then; to exponential levels by infiltrating the hierarchy of the Church and “crowning a false prophet” as the new Peter or current, “leading shepherd of the Church’s flock,” this Bergoglio who is not serving one master but multiple earthly masters, and Satan most of all!  All churches have been caught up in one thing or another over time, first as breakaway offshoots of the predecessor foundational church, and now to the point where we even have the Presbyterian church not just supporting abortion rights but condoning abortion actually as advocates of it, and thus serving Satan himself; to me no less than what the ancient Mayan’s did, a modern version of paganism and falsehood!

Now also take into consideration this information that points to the truth of how Christianity has been sliced up into so many different subsets that I think you must agree, that created quite a lot of room for errors and or intentional manipulation of God’s word because all people are fallible and defective and are not the original leading Apostles Paul, Peter and John who knew more about what God’s truth is, than all the Johnny come lately types which creating this potentiality of failure that has been proven out over time to be the case that far too many times throughout just the last couple of hundred years, even leaving out some of the major demarcation points and departures from the mother original church; such as the Great Reformation initiated by Martin Luther.

“The Center for the Study of Global Christianity also has statistics that align closely to this number (see #41 in the link-34,200 denominations in 2000).

On a Christianity Statistics article, updated March 2017, states that there are approximately 41,000 Christian denominations, but they also state:

This statistic takes into consideration cultural distinctions of denominations in different countries, so there is overlapping of many denominations.

The World Christian Database represents over 9,000 Christian denominations. This number is quite lower than 30,000 but it also doesn’t say what who exactly is represented or who isn’t.

On Wikipedia they list about 1,100 denominations (according to my count) but Wikipedia isn’t official.

For more details on the breakdown of (30,000+) read this article (not a primary source).”

https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/56020/how-many-christian-denominations-are-there#56053

In America alone we are looking at an estimated 70 million Catholics which brings me to this original conceptualization of the church by its lead Apostles right after Jesus Ascended into heaven.

“Jesus set Peter apart from the other disciples during his earthly ministry around A.D. 30, declaring his primacy in the establishment of the Catholic Church after Jesus would leave them. Many modern Bible scholars believe Jesus knew of the need for church unity and specific leadership before leaving his disciples, leading to what he says to Peter in Matthew 16:18, “Upon this rock I will build my church.” Peter’s name means “stone” — a name that Jesus gave to Peter when he met him.

Roman Catholic tradition views this verse as Jesus’ formation of the papacy, making Saint Peter the first pope and establishing the Roman Catholic Church in the same moment. Through Peter’s leadership, believers in the early church could unite under truth and sound teaching. Here are some examples of the type of leadership Jesus expected of Peter and continues to expect of every pope that has come after him:

Early Christians were pluralistic in their beliefs. Early believers needed to defend the truth and establish a set belief system. In I Timothy 6:20, Paul admonishes Timothy, a young church leader, to, “…guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid profane babbling and the absurdities of so-called knowledge.” This verse shows that false teaching was spreading during those early years of Christianity, and Paul left the task of defending the truth to Timothy. Early churches needed sound authority to keep them from absorbing falsehoods.

Saint Paul also changed the concept of the church in Ephesians 1:23 when he refers to the church as Jesus’, “…body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.” This unique phrasing shows that the church needs unity as the body of Christ in the world. A unified church can complete the mission given by Jesus to “make disciples of all nations” in a way that a fractured religion cannot.

  • To strengthen the entire church:In Luke 22:32, Jesus says to Peter, “I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers.” In establishing the Roman Catholic Church and the papacy, Jesus commanded Peter and every pope thereafter to strengthen the members of the Catholic faith.
  • To guide and care for the church: The pope must guide the church like a shepherd tending their flock. Jesus referred to himself as the Good Shepherd and the church as his sheep in John 10:11. A crucial part of the history of the Catholic Church timeline is Jesus’ departure from Earth. Before his ascension, Jesus passed on the earthly care of his sheep to Peter, the pope of the Roman Catholic Church. In John 21:15-17, Jesus tells Peter to “Feed my lambs,” “Tend my sheep,” and “Feed my sheep.”   catholicworldmission.org

On 2/24/22 I wrote the following in that day’s essay. 

The Enemy Within the Church

Matthew 7: 13-15 “13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. 15Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”

Getting back to what you have said here about so many falsehoods happening in churches and all around us in this more and more artificial contrived world, which has taken the old “Ways of The World” spoken about in Scriptures and exponentially amplified its corruption, deceptions, temptations as well as great frauds that the masses are now believing and following; putting false gods before God Almighty of the Ten Commandments and breaking that first one with many or maybe even all the rest in the process! Just think of sins of the flesh alone which can and will condemn multitudes to hell, how in the old days the proliferation was minimal, but now with video and digital communication platforms this evil is anywhere just about with a click, it’s even in pop music and so forth; with many more in this age being ruined by sins of the flesh!

I say sadly that the majority of the human beings are now in potential peril of being unworthy of salvation at all. Industrial scale abortion is now to the point of a full term helpless baby being murdered and what could possibly be any justifiable reason for it, especially one that God Himself would accept? There is none, and so humans are making sacrifices of human babies to the modernist man-made Beast System and thus Satan, who is the prince of this world and who rules the flesh material sinful realm; even the blasphemous falsehood of a president Biden wants to push through Federal on Demand Abortion across the country; pure evil. This is exponentially worse than what pagan idolaters of ancient civilizations like the Mayan Empire did regularly!

We are told to be in the world but not of it and that is literally what it means and how we should live each day, but, sadly we do not; most are just going along for the ride and then faking belief and Trust in the Lord. It’s too easy to do and very convenient to have your cake and eat it too, and be as you said a Lukewarm Christian vs. the devout Faithful Believer in Jesus Christ!

2 Corinthians 10:2-4 “2 I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh. 3For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. 4The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”

Here is a portion of one of Billy Graham’s fine sermons that clearly defines what we are talking about here and should consider.

The warnings are clear. The Bible says in Romans 12:2, “Do not be conformed to this world.” The Bible teaches in Galatians 1:4 that, “[Christ] gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age [cosmos].” In other words, the world was such a great danger to our souls that this danger caused Christ, the Son of God, to go to the cross to deliver us from it.

Throughout the Bible, the lines are definitely drawn between the world of unbelievers and the world of the children of God. “Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God” (James 4:4). Jesus Himself said, “The world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world” (John 17:14-16). Again Jesus said, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you” (John 15:18).

The Bible also teaches that the Christian will face opposition in the world. “All who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution,” said the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 3:12. Just as Christ’s life with all its love, concern and selflessness was a rebuke to the cosmos of His time, so our lives with Christ abiding in us today bring about criticism, opposition and persecution from those who cannot comprehend the mystery of God’s redemptive grace.

The Bible teaches that we are not to be discouraged by this belligerence. We are to consider it evidence that we are identified with Christ. Jesus said, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven” (Matthew 5:11-12). https://decisionmagazine.com/in-world-not-of-it/ by Billy Graham | January 28, 2016 | Billy Graham

This internet is a Devil’s Playground and so many are deluded or mesmerized by the click bait and followers routine; followers for what and to what avail? This is mostly frittering and wasting the time away, that precious time we have to make sure we have our houses in order for the Lord and are working diligently to serve the will of our Father in heaven who put us here for a purpose; His purpose; so when Jesus comes knocking on our doors we aren’t caught unawares!

I have a few previous blog postings I want to share that hopefully will shed a bit more of God’s light upon this subject and narrative you have eloquently presented here.

Discernment and spiritual awakening with the Holy Spirit speaking to us and in turn we hearing Him is the best thing to seek in order to stay on the one path that Jesus explained perfectly; John 14: 5- 7 5“Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

Let’s keep discerning and following the Holy Spirit not men or the system, but, still through discernment we can look for any good that exists in people or institutions and recognize any intrinsic good or value that God wants us to receive from them; learning to fully see God’s Truth in all things and make use of what he instructs us to, by His will alone; anything else will be not of God and we must reject it.

This world today is a very tumultuous quagmire and extremely dangerous for anyone, but, especially Christians who are being challenged and attacked from all directions! We must remember as long as we are in this battlefield our souls are in mortal jeopardy of being lost to eternal damnation. Too many people are nonchalant and think they are so on top of this professing to be good Christians, when they are just playing the game and are deceived or even deceivers; minions of the evil one.

God bless you and yours.

This additional essay reblog posting of 3/13/22, does point out to me clearly just how vicious and dangerous the world has become since antiquity for Christians or those people who want to seek and follow Jesus Christ.  The battlefield is all around us and growing more deceptive, intense and more totalitarian all the time because the heat is on to devour mankind!
