Rome Still Claims to be the
One True Church

Despite Four Decades of Ecumenism, Protestant Institutions are Not Churches, Says Rome

by Shaun Willcock

http://www.biblebasedministries.co.uk/2007/12/30/rome-still-claims-to-be-the-one-true-church/

http://www.biblebasedministries.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/the-one-true-church.doc

To the dismay of ecumenically-minded Protestants, the Roman pope, Benedict XVI, made it clear, in a document released in 2007, that the Roman Catholic institution is the “one, true Church”, and that Protestant institutions, not being in full communion with Rome, are not true churches.

The brief document was released on July 10, 2007, and was entitled “Responses to Some Questions Regarding Certain Aspects of the Doctrine on the Church.” It was put out by the Vatican’s “Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith”. This office used to be called the Inquisition, and it should always be remembered that before he became pope, Benedict headed up this sinister institution. The document was approved by Benedict before publication; and it reaffirmed – note that it didn’t say this for the first time, it reaffirmed what Rome had in fact always said – that the Roman Catholic “Church” is the one, true Church founded by Jesus Christ. It did, however, concede that certain “elements of truth” can be found in other “churches” and “ecclesial communities”.

But what is the difference between “churches” and “ecclesial communities”? Was this simply a figure of speech? Not at all. The words were very carefully chosen. The document states that the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s used the term “church” in reference to the Eastern Orthodox institutions. The reason being that, although the Orthodox were separated from the Roman Catholic “Church”, they preserved the Popish doctrines and practices of apostolic succession, the ordained priesthood, and the eucharist. This, in Rome’s view, made them churches, although it went on to state that they “lack something in their condition as particular churches” because they are not in union with the pope of Rome.[i]

The Eastern Orthodox institutions, of course, are essentially the same as Rome when it comes to the doctrines and practices mentioned. They are false religious institutions just as certainly as Rome is, and not in any sense true churches of Christ according to the Scriptures. But they do not recognise the Roman pope as their head, and thus although they are churches in Rome’s judgment, they are deficient ones. And Rome, via the ecumenical movement, is working hard for them to see this deficiency, and once again acknowledge and accept the pope as their head, submitting to Papal authority.

On the other hand, the “Christian communities” born out of the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century, says the document, do not have apostolic succession – the supposed unbroken succession of bishops going back to Peter, which Rome claims it alone enjoys – and therefore “cannot, according to Catholic doctrine, be called ‘Churches’ in the proper sense.”[ii] This is why they are referred to as “ecclesial communities” instead.

Of course, neither the Roman Catholic institution nor the Protestant institutions engaged in seeking unity with Rome are true Christian churches! But the document reveals Rome’s true attitude towards spiritually blind, ecumenical Protestants who are so committed to establishing “unity” with Rome: its purpose has always been to place them all under itself, believing itself to be the “only true Church.” Yet they have naively pressed ahead with their ecumenical plans, believing Rome viewed them all as equals.

Not surprisingly, the document caused ecumenical Protestant institutions to react with shock and dismay. For example, the general secretary of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches, Setri Nyomi, published an open letter addressed to the Vatican’s chief ecumenist, Roman Catholic cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the “Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity”. He wrote: “An exclusivist claim that identifies the Roman Catholic Church as the one church of Jesus Christ... goes against the spirit of our Christian calling toward oneness in Christ. It makes us question the seriousness with which the Roman Catholic Church takes its dialogue with the Reformed family and other families of the Church.”[iii] And there was a similar reaction from various other Protestant institutions.

Let us backtrack here, so as to put this latest document in its historical context. The official entry of the Roman Catholic institution into the ecumenical movement was the Second Vatican Council, or Vatican II, held from 1962 to 1965. And that council succeeded in deceiving the Protestant world into believing that Rome had somehow changed; that it no longer viewed itself as the only true Church; that it no longer wanted to persecute Protestants; and that it was open to working towards full unity between itself and all other “churches”, without insisting that it should control all others.

In one of the documents released at Vatican II, it was stated that the Church founded by Christ “subsists in the Catholic Church, governed by the successor of Peter and by the bishops in union with that successor”.[iv] This was nothing less than the traditional Popish doctrine. But it added, for the first time, that elements of “sanctification and truth” are found outside the Roman Catholic institution’s visible structure.[v] This was new! And it was statements like this that caused ecumenical Protestants to gibber with excitement. They now started to loudly proclaim that there was hope – that Rome had softened its stance, and opened the door to eventual full unity. How wrong they were! Rome never intended any such thing.

In the year 2000, the discussion over the term “churches” surfaced publicly, when the Inquisition – headed by the cardinal, Joseph Ratzinger – said that the term “sister churches” (as used since Vatican II) was being misused in ecumenical dialogue. And Ratzinger became pope upon the death of John Paul II a few years later.

In the year 2000, the Inquisition released a document entitled “Dominus Iesus”, which caused an uproar among ecumenists at the time. It stated that the Roman Catholic institution was necessary to salvation. This of course has always been Rome’s doctrine, but again, it had been played down since Vatican II, to entice ecumenical Protestants. Played down, yes, but never abandoned – and when it was again categorically stated in 2000, ecumenical Protestants expressed shock and dismay.

Hence this new document, released in 2007. According to the Inquisition’s prefect, Romish cardinal William Levada, it was released in response to the critical reactions to the teaching of the “Dominus Iesus” document, and to ongoing confusion over interpretations of the phrase “subsists in”:[vi] that the Church of Christ “subsists in the Catholic Church”, as stated above.

This new document states that Vatican II did not, in fact, change Roman Catholic doctrine on the meaning of the Church! Its precise words are: “The Second Vatican Council neither changed nor intended to change this doctrine, rather it developed, deepened and more fully explained it.”[vii] Nothing could be clearer. Roman Catholic cardinal, Walter Kasper, president of the “Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity”, said that although initial reactions to the document were marked by “irritation among Protestant Christians”, a second reading of the document should lead to the conclusion “that the document does not say anything new”, but rather provides a synthesis of Roman Catholic teaching.[viii] In this he was quite correct – the document indeed does not say anything new. Rome has always stated that its doctrines were not changed at Vatican II.[ix] And yet the belief has persisted among the Protestant institutions that Vatican II somehow represented an about-face by Rome; that it actually altered some of its fundamental doctrines. Rome never said so; but it was happy for the gullible to believe it. And believe it they certainly did! And for over forty years, the ecumenical movement has advanced by leaps and bounds, as foolish and blind Protestants have fallen over themselves in their mad rush for “unity” with Rome.

In answer to the question, “What is the meaning of the affirmation that the Church of Christ subsists in the Catholic Church?” the document states categorically, quoting from documents of Vatican II: “Christ ‘established here on earth’ only one Church and instituted it as a ‘visible and spiritual community’, that from its beginning and throughout the centuries has always existed and will always exist, and in which alone are found all the elements that Christ himself instituted.... This Church, constituted and organised in this world as a society, subsists in the Catholic Church, governed by the successor of Peter and the Bishops in communion with him.”[x] There is nothing ambiguous about this, just as there was nothing ambiguous about what Vatican II stated: the only true “Church” is the Roman Catholic “Church”.

The document states that the use of the phrase “subsists in” was intended to show that all the elements instituted by Christ endure in the Roman Catholic “Church” alone. The “sanctifying elements” that exist outside the structure of the Roman Catholic “Church”, it states, can be used as instruments of salvation; but their value derives from the “fullness of grace and truth which has been entrusted to the Catholic Church”, quoting from Vatican II’s “Decree on Ecumenism”. In other words, any sanctifying elements within other religious communities are in some mysterious way derived from the Roman Catholic religion! Take heed to these quotations from the document:

“It is possible, according to Catholic doctrine, to affirm correctly that the Church of Christ is present and operative in the churches and ecclesial Communities not yet fully in communion with the Catholic Church, on account of the elements of sanctification and truth that are present in them. Nevertheless, the word ‘subsists’ can only be attributed to the Catholic Church alone... and this ‘one’ Church subsists in the Catholic Church.” Note the words, “churches and ecclesial Communities not yet fully in communion with the Catholic Church”. Rome’s clear intention is that oneday, somehow, some way, all others will be in “communion” with it, for it alone is the one true Church.

“The use of this expression [“subsists in’], which indicates the full identity of the Church of Christ with the Catholic Church, does not change the doctrine on the Church. Rather, it comes from and brings out more clearly the fact that there are ‘numerous elements of sanctification and of truth’ which are found outside her structure, but which ‘as gifts properly belonging to the Church of Christ, impel towards Catholic Unity.’” Think carefully about what is being stated here! As far as Rome is concerned, those elements which are good within other religious institutions must impel toward Catholic unity! Again, this demonstrates plainly that the “unity” Rome strives for is not a unity of equality, but a “unity” under Rome, a “unity” whereby what it believes to be inferior and defective religious institutions recognise the full authority of the Roman Catholic “Church” and submit to it!

According to an authoritative commentary in the Vatican’s newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (the Inquisition) had acted to protect the unity and uniqueness of the Roman Catholic “Church” by issuing this document! Throughout the centuries, Rome has claimed to be the one, true Church, unique in every way. Gullible ecumenical Protestants thought that at Vatican II Rome cast aside centuries of doctrine and no longer made this claim. It did not! And now this document has again made it clear. Rome still believes itself to be the only true Church, to which the whole world must submit! In the words of the document itself, it took aim at the notion that the Church of Christ was “the sum total of the churches or the ecclesial communities”. Rome had never defined the Church this way. It always insisted that it alone was the truth, and that the ecumenical movement’s ultimate purpose was, not for Rome to join with all other churches in some kind of new set-up, but to get all other churches to submit to the pope, and to ultimately be absorbed by the “Church” of Rome. The Vatican newspaper stated that what Vatican II intended was to recognise ecclesial elements in non-Catholic communities. “It does not follow that the identification of the Church of Christ with the Catholic Church no longer holds”, it said.[xi] Read that sentence again, and see how blind the Protestant ecumenicals have been for four decades, naively assuming that Rome wanted nothing more than for all churches to unite together on some kind of level playing field, as equal partners, with none above the others.

The reason for the issuing of this document is clear. Rome is still committed to ecumenism. But its purpose, in being involved in the ecumenical movement, is to finally take control of all other “churches! Absorption of all other “churches”, not equality with them, has always been Rome’s goal through the ecumenical movement. But as the ecumenical movement progressed over the years, it was becoming clear, to Rome, that this goal was being buried under the momentum of the ecumenical movement itself, which was treating all “churches” as equal and not, in general practice, leading to the kind of dominant position for Rome which it desires. This would never do. Not only was the ultimate goal not always being kept in mind, but increasingly, Roman Catholics themselves, being swept up in the ecumenical excitement, were losing their distinct sense of identity, and coming to view their “church” as just one of many churches in the world, instead of as “the Church” which their parents and grandparents had always been taught to believe it was. Something had to be done. This document marks a turning point. The pope of Rome has drawn a line in the sand: the Roman Catholic “Church” will pursue ecumenism, but only on its terms. All other “churches” must recognise the Roman Catholic “Church” as the one, true Church; this is the ultimate objective of the ecumenical movement, and on this point Rome will not budge.

U.S. Dominican priest, Augustine Di Noia, under-secretary of the Inquisition, said that the document does not call into question Benedict’s pledge to work for ecumenical progress. “The Church is not backtracking on its ecumenical commitment. But... it is fundamental to any kind of dialogue that the participants are clear about their own identity,” he said.[xii] As stated by Robert Moynihan of Inside the Vatican magazine, “The Pope’s intent, it seems clear, is to lessen confusion in the Church, and at the same time to reinforce the sense of Catholic identity over against a type of exaggerated ecumenism in which all Christian communities are increasingly, in practice, regarded as equally valid expressions of Christian faith.”[xiii]
In other words, Roman Catholics (and everyone else) must know that their “church” is the only true “church” on earth, and this fundamental doctrine must never be sacrificed for the cause of unity.

The Vatican newspaper, in its commentary on the document, said: “Despite the fact that this teaching has created no little distress in the communities concerned and even among some Catholics, it is nevertheless difficult to see how the title of ‘Church’ could possibly be attributed to them, given that they do not accept the theological notion of the Church in the Catholic sense and that they lack elements considered essential to the Catholic Church.”[xiv]

Trying his best to put a good spin on it, while at the same time categorically stating Rome’s official position, Popish cardinal Walter Kasper said, “The document does not say that the Protestant churches are not churches, but that they are not churches in the precise sense, that is, they are not churches in the way that the Catholic Church uses the term ‘church’”.[xv] Well, since the way in which Rome uses the word “church” is believed, by Rome, to be the only correct way to use it, no amount of spin will change the fact of the matter: that Rome is saying it alone is the true Church, and all others are false.

This has always been Rome’s belief. For a short while, so as to advance its own agenda, it covered up this “truth” which it had always proclaimed; but Benedict is far less of an “all things to all men” kinda guy than John Paul II was. And the present pope isn’t hiding this doctrine of Rome – he wants it spread abroad as far as possible, so that the world knows what Rome really believes on this point! For William Levada, the cardinal prefect of the Inquisition, asked the world’s Popish bishops to do all they can to promote and present the document to the wider public. There is nothing subtle or underhanded about this at all, and Benedict wants the world to be quite clear on this point: Rome is the one, true Church, and many others, with whom it has been in ecumenical dialogue for decades, must understand clearly that they cannot even be called “churches”, merely separated “communities”.

Incredibly, what we see is this: the Roman Catholic institution proudly and categorically stating that it alone is the one, true Church; and the ecumenical, cowardly, fawning “Protestant” institutions falling over themselves, as they have for decades, telling us all that the Roman Catholic institution is a true church, as much a true church as their own, that Roman Catholics are their brothers and sisters in Christ, true Christians, and that oneday full union would be achieved between Roman Catholic and Protestant institutions, all equally valid, all on the same level, all happily marching forward as Christians together.

And all this time, Rome had never altered its fundamental conviction. If only the ecumenical Protestants had paid attention, they would have noticed that Rome had not changed, and that it was only stating what it had always stated about itself – and about them.
At least Rome is being honest, and true to its own doctrine. Protestants, tragically, are nowhere near as honest to their own written confessions of faith! According to the confessions of faith of many Protestant denominations, the pope of Rome is the Antichrist. This being so, they used to have no fellowship whatsoever with Papists, who they correctly understood to be idol-worshippers, false “christians”, not true Christians. But times have changed. The once-Protestant institutions have abandoned their own doctrinal standards, and are now fully prepared to receive Papists as true Christians, the pope of Rome as a brother in Christ, and the Roman Catholic institution (which they once branded correctly as the Whore of Babylon of Rev. 17) as a true Christian church. They have moved so far away from the Bible as the sole rule of faith, that they readily sprout such nonsense, even though the pope of Rome has officially declared they are not even churches in his eyes!

They register shock when Benedict simply states what has been Roman Catholic belief all along. Yet the ecumenical Protestants did not have the backbone, nor indeed the spiritual conviction, to have said from the very start of the ecumenical movement, “The Roman Catholic institution is not a true church, and there will be no unity with it.” The ecumenical Protestant attitude is well encapsulated in the words of Thomas Wipf, president of the Community of Protestant Churches in Europe: “We recognise the Roman Catholic Church as a church. It is and remains regrettable that this is not made possible the other way around.”[xvi] They continue to recognise Rome, but Rome does not recognise them! How utterly naive and blind!
The tragedy of all this is that neither the Roman Catholic institution, nor the Protestant institutions seeking unity with Rome, are true churches of Christ! They are both full of false, unbiblical doctrines and practices, and with wolves in sheep’s clothing in the pulpits and goats in the pews.

Will this latest bombshell from the Vatican put an end to the ecumenical Protestant obsession with seeking unity with Rome? No, it will not. The ecumenical movement is now too far advanced. Perhaps, if this latest document had been released three decades ago, it might have stopped the ecumenical bulldozer in its tracks. But not today. Rome evidently feels confident enough to release such a document now, without fear of it permanently stopping the ecumenical advance. This is why the Vatican’s chief ecumenist, the cardinal Walter Kasper, could make the statement that by clarifying its own position, the Vatican was actually helping ecumenical dialogue! He said that while initial reactions were marked by “irritation among Protestant Christians”, yet by explaining what still divides “Christians” the document “does not limit dialogue, but promotes it.” [xvii]

The Protestant institutions have all been sufficiently weakened, doctrinally and practically. They have cast off their own confessional standards. They have cast aside various doctrines of the faith. They are filled with unregenerate men and women. They are floundering, rudderless, uncertain, shedding members, losing credibility. They are increasingly ripe for the picking by Rome.

True Christian unity is a reality and always has been, because it is a spiritual unity between all true believers in Christ, and Christ Himself as their Head. This is what the Lord Jesus Christ prayed for (Jn. 17:20,21), and His prayer was answered, for His prayers were always answered (Jn. 11:41,42). “There is one body” (Eph. 4:4). All true Christians are united to Christ their Head, and form the one, united, mystical body of Christ, the true Church.
The ecumenical movement is the attempt of worldly men, falsely professing to be “christians”, to create some kind of external, structural “unity” between false “churches”. The Papal Antichrist is doing his utmost to expand his territory and increase his power. From such a devilish “unity” all true Christians must remain absolutely separate (2 Cor. 6:14-18; Rev. 18:4,5).

Uganda's Rotten Prosperity Movement

2008-03-26T03:25:00.000-07:00

Uganda's Rotten Prosperity Movement, Very Unchristian

Commentary By Kato Mivule

Sept 19 2006

http://www.yesumulungi.com/Commentary/Comment52.htm

>>Is Pastor Robert Kayanja's Christianity Christian?...Monitor
>>Smuggled Wine Held at TBN's Televangelist Million Dollar Home in Africa...All Africa
>>TBN Televangelist refutes Wine Saga...defends "Prosperity" Teaching...Kayanja.org
>>When Evil Turns Water Into Wine...Monitor
>>Africa's TBN Preacher is "Renown"...

A Crisis (actually a shaking) is happening in Uganda as the main leaders of the Prosperity Movement are having almost daily appearances in the local press concerning their wealth, greed, materialism, and misrepresentation of Jesus Christ...most notably is one preacher who is a darling of TBN TV and recently 'smugglers' managed to 'use' his highly secure million dollar house in Africa to smuggle top world class wines into the country...

When responding to his critics concerning his wealth, this preacher told them "to mind their own business"...I will have more on this topic soon...

I recently wrote a pastor of a Mega Church with a powerful FM Radio ministry in Kampala concerning the Apostasy and Greed taking place in mainly Kampala Churches , I warned him about the coming judgment as stipulated in scripture and that it begins in God's House, and the Call to Repentance...This "pastor" responded to me that I was only "self-conceited"...this same "pastor" claims blindly that "revival" is happening in Uganda...well, now the Chickens come home to roast...I am not rejoicing over this but saddened and grieved because of the rebellion of such "pastors" (Oh, maybe 'imposters') today against God's Word to which we hold ourselves accountable...

Most of this prosperity movement is a mirror of the rotten and stinking prosperity and political Christian movement of the West...The So-called Christian Right and their bogus "Christian" agendas...Pastors leave Africa and go and beg these imposters who purport to be Christian men in the West and in exchange they return to Africa spreading Western Christianity or Political Christian Dominionism and the expansion of the American Hegemony...The world clearly sees this, those who are not born again see that this is not the Jesus Christ of the Bible and something is wrong...they are right.

Just as the Prosperity Movement in the West is very Political, i.e. folks like Pat Robertson and John Hagee, so is the Prosperity Movement in Uganda, it is so politically involved with the state and such is the unholy alliance between Church and State...we see preachers who claim to have access to the State House (Uganda's Equivalent of the White House) more often they desire than any Minister, or MP (Senator)...

These folks don't worship the True Jesus Christ of The Bible, they worship the god of Mammon and the god of political power, they are imposters, thieves, robbers and have turned God's House into a political den of thieves and robbers...avoid such folks...to these guys, godliness is a means of gain...

Jesus Christ and the Apostles foretold of the great falling away or the Apostasy that would happen at the end of age and Africa has not been immune to it courtesy of so-called western missionaries, bogus and greedy Western Televangelists parading so-called Christian TVs like TBN, and now infamous conmen pretending to be "anointed" preachers of mega churches in Kampala (Uganda's Capital) here in Africa....There is still a chance for forgiveness before The Lord and He is calling on you all preachers who are in this "prosperity" movement to REPENT least you perish! I will have more on this soon...Kato Mivule

Prosperity Gospel - A Gospel Of The Antichrist

By Kato Mivule

http://www.yesumulungi.com/Commentary/Comment53.htm

October 8, 2006

1 John 4:1-6
(1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
(2) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
(3) And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
(4) Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
(5) They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
(6) We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh...this is the spirit of the Antichrist... However, the 'confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh' is not a mere outside mouth confession or a religious confession in church but an acknowledgment, realization, submission to The Lordship of Jesus Christ in our personal life and from the heart to the fact that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh...that He reigns as Lord in our personal lives.

1 John 4:2
(2) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

It is the recognition, realization, submission, and obedience to the Life, Authority, Power, Lordship, Command, Word of God, and Life of Suffering, of Jesus Christ. So, this is not just mere confession on the outside that “Jesus Christ is come in the flesh” yet when one’s life and heart are totally contrary to the ‘Life of Jesus Christ in the Flesh’.

'Confess' in Greek...

G3670
ὁμολογέω
homologeō
hom-ol-og-eh'-o
From a compound of the base of G3674 and G3056; to assent, that is, covenant, acknowledge: - con- (pro-) fess, confession is made, give thanks, promise.

So, the Greek word that John used here ‘confess’ is ‘homologeo’ meaning…
· To Assent...
· Covenant…
· Acknowledge…
· Confess…
· Give Thanks…
So, the verse above speaks about not only confessing the that 'Christ Jesus is come in the flesh' but obeying Jesus Christ and living the life of Jesus Christ in us. Just as Christ Jesus walked in the flesh, so we follow His example and we too walk a life that is dead to this world, sin and evil and live the life of Jesus Christ in us.

This means total obedience to the commands of Jesus Christ in us. It means dying to the things of the world and the pleasures of the world. It means carrying our cross and following Jesus Christ daily.

If we Confess, Acknowledge, Realize, Covenant, Assent that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, then we live that life of suffering just as Jesus Christ suffered, we live the life of the cross, we then love the things Jesus Christ loves and hate what He hates. This means not being a friend of the world and not loving the things that are in the world. It means 100% obedience to Christ Jesus regardless of the price and cost, even if it means our very lives.

1 John 4:3
(3) And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

The Antichrist spirit confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh...this is a spirit of rebellion that does not realize, acknowledge, submit to the Lordship and Life of Jesus Christ. This Antichrist spirit submits to the things of the world, to the life and lordship of the world, riches, materialism, silver, gold, and submission to man.

The deceptiveness about this Antichrist spirit is it's characteristic of hypocrisy; religious Christians in this category merely “confess” that Jesus Christ is Lord and that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh but they do not obey the commands of The Lord...they merely say Lord, Lord but don't do the things The Lord commands...

Matthew 7:19-23
(19) Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
(20) Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
(21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
(22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
(23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

It is interesting to note that the ‘Confess Jesus Christ is come in the flesh’ is in present tense and not past. Christ Jesus dwells in those who obey his commands, those who love Him, His saints, His True Church…and in Him we live, move, and have our being.
Acts 17:28
(28) For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

'Is come' in Greek...

G2064
ἔρχομαι
erchomai
er'-khom-ahee
Middle voice of a primary verb (used only in the present and imperfect tenses, the others being supplied by a kindred [middle voice] word, ἐλεύθομαι eleuthomai or ἔλθω elthō; which do not otherwise occur); to come or go (in a great variety of applications, literally and figuratively): - accompany, appear, bring, come enter, fall out, go, grow, X light, X next, pass, resort, be set.

So, the 'Is Come' in Greek is 'erchomai' generally meaning here...
· Accompany
· Appear
· Bring
· Come
· Enter
· Fall Out
· Go
· Grow
The life we live, we live in Christ Jesus and Jesus Christ in us. We don't live on our own but submit to His will and obey His commandments. Such a life is a life of the Cross, it is not a life of pleasures of this world as the Prosperity preachers desire us to believe.

Galatians 2:20
(20) I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

If Christ Jesus lives in us then we shall follow after His leading and example and not conform to the standards of this world.

For Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever…as He walked, so does He still walk, and so will He walk and even so we ought to walk after His likeness and character...

Jesus Christ was not parading around in the best SUV, Corporate Jet, designer clothing, million dollar houses, fat bank accounts, expensive vacations and cruises...Jesus Christ lived a simple life, a life that was not attached to the riches of this world and not a friend to the powerful and the elite. Jesus Christ reached out to the sinners, sick and the poor of His day and so must we if Christ Jesus truly dwells in us and if we truly confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh....

James 4:4-5
(4) Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
(5) Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

Prosperity Preachers always speak about terms like 'increase', 'going to the next level', 'being fruitful', 'divine favor in the world and business', financial increase, influence...and many other blasphemous terms...what the Prosperity teachers are doing is conforming Christian to the world and submission to man...this is the spirit of the Antichrist that 'Confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh'...

Brothers and Sisters be forewarned that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God. Those preachers who seduce you to such philosophies are liars and wolves in sheepskin seeking only to destroy your faith in Christ Jesus.

Now, many prosperity preachers argue that they also take care of the poor, orphans and help the sick but this is just Hypocrisy 101; these greedy preachers simply throw money in orphanages and pretend to help the poor not because they love to but because they seek to use the poverty of the poor for their own gain...

They get more donations when they show pictures of the poor to their donors...they pretend to preach the gospel but what they preach is heresy...their care for the poor is nothing but pure hypocrisy...they are like the IMF and World Bank “giving” Africans “Grants” which they expect Africans to repay somehow somewhere sometime in the future back to the world's elite Bankers - IMF and World Bank.

John 15:4
(4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

Hebrews 13:8
(8) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

1 John 2:6
(6) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

So, we understand that the “confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh” has to do with our total obedience to Jesus Christ, abiding in Him, He abiding in us and them we as a must, walking even as Jesus Christ walked…

We now understand that we must bear fruit and that fruit is the Life, character and likeness of Jesus Christ in us…walking just as He walked…acknowledging that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh…He abides in us even to this day, therefore His character and likeness is not just historical and past and irrelevant as the world says but is and must be manifest in us today…

So, we take a moment and ask our selves, did Jesus Christ live a life of materialism, worldliness, greed, sin, hate, murder, jealousy, political Christianity?…which things, sad to say is what many Christians are walking in today blinded by foolish pastors and so-called apostles (actually apostates) who are busy committing adultery with the world and loving the things of the world.

1 John 2:15-18
(15) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
(16) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
(17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
(18) Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

The spirit of the Antichrist is that which causes men to love the world and hate Christ and become enemies of God. Brothers and Sisters, let us watch and be very careful, today's prosperity preachers are agents of the Antichrist regardless of if they know it or not...the gospel of prosperity, riches and materialism is one that conforms Christians to the standards of this world while hypocritically using The Name of Jesus Christ.

Now, you CANNOT love Jesus Christ and at the same time love the things of the world such as materialism, posh cars first class air travel, the best cars – SUVs, Gulf Stream Jets, Million Dollar houses, huge dollar bank accounts, fame, upper class neighborhoods, the rich, powerful politicians and so forth…all best the world can give…

The prosperity gospel conforms people to love the things of this world and as such makes Christians friends with this world and as such they become enemies of God.

You cannot love such and think that you are abiding in Christ Jesus…those who think in such a way are hoodwinked and bewitched by Satan himself…and such is the prosperity doctrine and purpose driven life of lies and a life outside Jesus Christ.

Those who live in such lies called “prosperity gospel” will never be fruitful with The Life of Jesus Christ in them…they will never ‘Confess, acknowledge, realize, assent, covenant, that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh’; they will always say that “Jesus Christ CAME in the flesh”…such is the spirit of the Antichrist…the spirit of the world and love for the things of the world…the spirit that rejects continual submission to the Lordship, Character, and Likeness of Jesus Christ.

1 John 2:15-19
(15) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
(16) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
(17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
(18) Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
(19) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

The Antichrist spirit is very much connected to the love of the world and things of the world...

Those who love the world and the things of the world have no love of the Father in them… These are they that refuse to ‘confess, acknowledge, and assent that Jesus Christ IS COME in the flesh’; they refuse the Lordship and Life of Christ Jesus in their personal lives…

Such is the Prosperity Movement…this Movement is one that promises Christians riches here on earth and the best of the world here in this dying world that is certainly passing away. The prosperity movement is one that subtly indoctrinates its believers to love the world and the things of the world and in the process, they do away with the Love of The Father and ‘Confess Not that Jesus Christ IS COME in the flesh’…this is a movement of rebellion and as such it is an Antichrist Movement.

Sad to note is the fact that many churches here in Africa are being swept by this diabolical movement called the prosperity and purpose driven movement… TBN TV is the greatest dispenser of this World Love prosperity and purpose driven venom from the Antichrist.

I sometimes wonder why these TBN guys don’t stop their broadcasts here in Africa…we don’t need such venom, we are tired of it and please TBN keep your Antichrist programming to yourself. We shall have our bibles, those will be enough for us.

We are tired of such lies like “Enjoying Everyday Life” with Joyce Meyer, not forgetting Benn Hinn’s Jet purchase campaigns…

Benn Hinn says that we should give him money so he can buy a new plane and that we so send him to preach the gospel around the world…we are tired of such lies, we don’t see Jesus Christ in such, we don’t see, His character and likeness in such preachers but greed, materialism, covetousness, merchandising and selling of all those small idols Benn Hinn loves to call gifts for the price of donations from his viewers, and sure enough this is an Antichrist spirit!

Sad and so sad is the fact that the ‘emperor walks naked’ and does not even realize it…the TBN promotion of such filth around the world is such and simply a walking naked emperor here on Africa’s airwaves.

Revelation 3:17-18
(17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
(18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

What amazes me is the fact that despite heavy criticism against the prosperity movement and its preachers, many of them still continue to stubbornly preach this Antichrist Gospel of riches, fame, ‘getting to the next level’ “being fruitful” which is nothing other than love for the world.

Brethren, truly this is the last hour just as The Lord Jesus Christ and the Apostles warned us 2000 years ago about the great deception that would happen prior to The Lord's Second coming.

The storms of deception are blowing left and right and against the people of God, those who call themselves after the name of The Lord.

Deception is so rampant that Pastors of churches and Christians are giving themselves over to the overt love for the things of the world.

The deception is packaged to seduce Christians in accepting a “good” life in the world. They are promised the 'best in the world' if they 'saw' seeds of faith... The talk in Christendom these days is about being “fruitful” and getting to the “next level” but the fruitfulness spoken about by these imposters who pretend to be pastors is all about getting more influence, materialism, riches and money in the world.

The “next level” that these false apostles speak about is all about “getting to the next level” in the social ladders of the affluent societies...this is the gospel of elitism and it only leads towards destruction.

Sad it is to say that the greatest proponents today are the Western Preachers and Pastors, almost 99 per cent of TBN TV is about the promotion for love of the world and the things of the world.

We in Africa are daily being bombarded by the false teachings on TBN about a “good life”, “being fruitful”, and “ getting to the next level” by mainly American preachers and America-nized preachers...

When one turns on Christian TV, all you see and hear is a gospel that speaks not about the cross of Jesus Christ but about “making it in life”, all we hear constantly is the heresy and error by such speakers as Joyce Meyer, and not to mention Kenneth Copeland and his “Faith” programs...all these guys do is speak about being conformed to the world...

Brethren, those who want blunt discernment concerning TBN TV, here is it...this is a TV that promotes a false gospel, another gospel, a gospel of the Antichrist, a gospel that conforms believers to love the world and to get justification from man. Yes, regardless of how many innocent and sincere preachers are on this TV, they have been blinded by the god of this world and to seduce and deceive believers in loving the world while hypocritically singing the Name of Jesus Christ.

These are the last days and the Antichrist does not come dressed in Halloween attire, the Antichrist comes dressed in business attire - in a corporate suit and a briefcase full of 100 US Dollars bill notes, credit and debit cards, with a brand new SUV, flies in a personal corporate Gulf Stream jet, being welcomed on pulpits every Sunday, and having his programs aired across the world on "Christian TV", while promising millions peace, prosperity, and a good life here on earth...

It is no wonder that his (antichrist) gospel connects well with the elite political establishment; they are all seeking peace and prosperity...and the establishment know that what some “Christians” need today is just money and 'making it in life', the very thing the Antichrist is willing to offer in his peace and prosperity initiatives...

1 Timothy 6:3-10
(3) If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
(4) He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
(5) Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
(6) But godliness with contentment is great gain.
(7) For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
(8) And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
(9) But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
(10) For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

For the love of money is the source of all evil...don't be deceived, you cannot serve Jesus Christ and at the same time serve money...the prosperity preachers are liars and deceivers who desire us to believe that we can love Jesus Christ and money at the same time...those who heed these wolves who love to call themselves prosperity teachers and 'enjoying everyday life' preachers are doomed for destruction...brethren, repent!

Brethren, come out from such, be separate and The Lord will receive you...Amen

Revelation 18:4
(4) And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18
(14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
(15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

America-nized Christianity, ‘Another Gospel’ To Africa

By Kato Mivule
October 10, 2005

http://www.yesumulungi.com/Commentary/Comment33.htm

Galatians 1:3-12
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

God Knows The True Western Humble Servants to Africa...
It is with a great burden and sorrow, filled with brokenness that I write this article. I would like to clear the air by first acknowledging all the hundreds of Western humble servants of Christ Jesus who out of Love for Him from a pure heart with no strings associated, have laid down their lives for the brethren in Africa. I would say with all humility, that my prayers are with them constantly that you will continue in this good work, standing on God’s True Holy Word and pointing all men to nothing but Jesus Christ who alone is able to save.

These Western Christians have sacrificed all they have to see that the gospel is preached in Truth to this continent that once hosted Jesus Christ in His young days while He and His earthly parents, Joseph and Mary sought refuge and exiled in Egypt. I do sincerely appreciate all their efforts and I am not blind about them. As I have written before, God truly will reward this unknown men and women of God from The West who have denied themselves earthly pleasures and delicacies to have the True Gospel preached in Africa. Please keep them in your prayers and do support them.

Having said that however, this will not blind me from the deceit and hypocrisy that is blinding the peoples of Africa and especially in Uganda where I grew up; this deceit and hypocrisy being spread overtly and subtly by American Apostate Christianity with the power and anointing from their god called mammon.

I find it very difficult to explain to many Africans that the current gospel they are receiving is one from the main stream Apostate Laodicean American Church that worships, Man and Mammon; a Babylonian Mammon or Money gospel with very dare end time implications that will lead these Christians to worship the Beast and his system. However, someone will have to stand and speak Truth.

Un-Schooling, Un-Learning Westernized Christianity…
It is time to return to the True Gospel of Jesus Christ with no strings attached. It is time to return to The Gospel of Salvation, Holiness, Purity, Simple Lifestyle and not the Western Gospel of Man, Money, Riches, Materialism all in the name of a Purpose Driven Prosperity Gospel.

It is sad that Africa has been blanketed by a TBN False gospel of lies and prosperity overtly while the Rick Warren deceit from hell of a Purpose Driven life spreads subtly in Africa’s wealthy and Urban core.

For this reason, there is a big need to un-school and un-learn what we have been taught by liars and pranks who purport to be bible teachers and missionaries in Africa. It is a time to unplug from the Western Christian Mindset and return back to Simple Bible Truth and walk as the Disciples and Apostles walked in the Book of Acts in this evil last days. The Best Manual we can have in Africa is a Bible and not Bible Colleges, Multi-Million Dollar Churches, and Designer Suit dressed thugs who call themselves men of God.

I won’t keep silent – won’t be threatened…
It is from this point that I cannot keep silent and watch as my fellow brethren in Africa are swept away by the lies and deceit streaming from Lucifer Himself. The Leadership in Africa is partly to blame for turning a blind eye to the Word of God and Truth for money and accolades awarded to them from the Apostate Laodicean Church in America. It is my prayer that God will raise new leaders in Africa. Current leadership has TOTALLY failed and has been ‘bought’ by the Apostate Church of America. They are guilty for exchanging God’s Truth for Money and Accolades.

Because of the extreme poverty and need, African brethren become vulnerable to believing that every thing said and done in The West by American Christians is true and lines up to sound biblical doctrine. There is a lack of sound biblical based critical thinking and often those who arise to challenge the authenticity of the status quo are often maligned and excommunicated and denied fellowship.

The Village Chief Mentality…
This is mainly due to a cultural belief in most if not all African Cultures of never questioning ‘The Village Chief’. Village Chiefs were and are still a very strong authority widely respected in African Cultures. While I have great honor and respect that my African culture taught me in regards to respecting the elderly…which I appreciate so much when placed in perspective to the Western degrading of the elderly to nursing homes, however, we are all personally responsible for the accountability of our personal lives before God. Every one will stand to give account on their own…the Village Chief will too stand to give account for their actions.

The Pastors and leaders in many African Churches have taken on the mantle of a ‘Village Chief’ because of their growing affluence and power, often supplied by Western Preachers who also play usury so as to report ‘Big Numbers of Converts’ to their denominational headquarters in the USA and in return the blind undiscerning American Christians drunk with stupor, fill the offertories of these supposedly ‘missiologists’ who have done such a “great job of winning souls to Jesus Christ”…mammon becomes a factor in such events... Such duplicity certainly waters down the True Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. The ‘Village Chief’ mentality has succeeded in turning true ministers of God into dictators, controllers, and manipulators with sponsorship from the American Laodicean Church that cements their legitimacy.

Divide and Rule NWO Hegelian Dialectics…
No wonder it has always been a Hegelian Dialectic principle of the New World Order to Divide and Rule. The Christian Dominations of the West have played this game over and over again. Instead of preaching Jesus Christ they have promoted a false Gospel of denominationalism. You have the Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, Charismatics, and Pentecostals; all rushing to get as many converts for themselves and not Jesus Christ. As such American Denominational Christianity has failed greatly in Africa and is just a tool and program for the New World Order to Control and Manipulate Africans and removing Africa’s Religious and Spiritual independence.

The greatest historical lie is that the gospel spread to Africa in the late 1600s, this is a lie and a re-writing of History because the Bible itself disapproves that with the account of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch. Countless references in the Old Testament books show the interaction of Africa and Israel; obviously the rulers and cultures of Africa were not blind to The God of Israel… Africa has never been a dark continent as reported by so-called western missionaries who came to exert control and lay ground for a one-world government. It is these political dominion Christian missionaries that were blind and saw darkness in the continent and sadly enough we see their seed arise again preaching Dominion Christianity again through the likes of Rick Warren Purpose Driven Doctrines, TBN Putrid Prosperity Churchianity and False Patriotism Evangelicalism.

New World Order Mind Control and Programming Africa…
So, Africa has suffered divide and rule at the hands of Western Missionaries who have sadly been programmed and Mind Controlled by the New World Order to setup ground for a one world religion and one world government… A 21-century scramble for Africa is under way because of her resources such as Oil, as such The American New World Order sees if fit to manipulate ‘false patriotic’ dominionist Christians to go all around the World and spread a false gospel and totally Mind Control Multitudes upon multitudes in Africa…their mission is almost complete and they have succeeded in giving Africa a false Jesus Christ, they have given Africans an Anti – Christ and not The Real Historical Jesus Christ.

As such they have taken away the spiritual independence of Africans who are no longer accountable directly to Jesus Christ but now have a Western Intermediary through whom they seek accountability to God… This is totally false and it is so sad that with millions and millions of dollars wasted, the counterfeit is what Africans have been given. However, there is good news, The New World Order Religious planners forgot about God and his Sovereignty. They forgot that God does exist, like the bible says the fool says God does not exist… They forgot that God still has a remnant left behind as the majority is taken away or ‘raptured’ or ‘ruptured’ away by False Western Doctrines… :>)

A false Jesus Christ is what the New World Order seeks to spread in Africa to control minds and break any logical and independent thinking among Africans that can offer resistance to Western Christian Ideologies from Hell. So, the saying goes that behind the Cross, was the Flag. So, behind the false western gospel is the New World Order Flag. We must remember that Western Gospel now has to do with ruling and taking over Nations and Cities for Christ – That is the sad and Nazi-ism ideology of Dominion Christianity or Kingdom now theology…

True Saints of God Please Stand up…
It is my prayer, even through this writing that God will raise men and women who will stand on the True Word of God and reject the false gospel being spread around by American Religious Right Apostate Neo-con bewitched lunatic Christians masquerading around the globe as “missionaries” yet seeking to control and manipulate their constituents by imposing subtly and overtly a Gospel filled with Dominionism and Mammon. The Greatest Tool for Discernment is your Bible…The Word of God is enough to help you discern The Lord’s Voice and not follow after Purpose Driven Prosperity Wolves. Anything that is not lined up with scripture, reject…preach the Gospel verse by verse, precept upon precept as in the Book of Acts and not Purpose Driven Books by doctored by power hungry Neo-con Western preachers.

Political America Married to Religious America = Harlotry…
It is interesting that liaison exists between Political America in its manipulation of African Politics for usury and Religious America who see the ‘results’ of the gospel and as catalyst for the expansion and fattening of their checkbooks. The saddest of these is the current marriage of Political America and Religious America, being used by the Neo-Conservatives (Neo-cons) to spread The New World Order (NWO) as reported in a number of Exposes‘.

This marriage is mainly composed of The American Religious Right who see it fit to spread Dominionism around the world and as such seek to pervert the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Africa by spreading their teachings of how Christians must take over governments in Jesus Name just like they did in America by voting for GW Bush back into office. This deceit from The Religious Right in America backed by the power of Mammon has become the most dangerous weapon Satan is using to hoodwink Christians in Africa away from the True Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Sufferings - the Cross. However, The Lord Jesus Christ will no longer stand such duplicity and lies; His True Words will certainly expose the very intents of the heart of men.

Say No to Christian Usury...
I would also like to point out that I am not advocating a gospel of laziness or preaching to Africans that they are not to work and never to fight social ills like illiteracy and corruption that bind them in poverty. I am not rejecting the responsibility of the African Leader; his current failure is a work orchestrated by the New World Order American Christians sent allover the world to weaken The ‘African Man’ with false spirituality and exert on them a capitalistic gospel from New World Order America that lays ground for The New World Order American empire to take over resources such as Oil with no objections. However, African Christians should never turn The Word of God into usury for supposedly promised prosperity. God honors Truth and those who will work under the influence of God’s Truth will surely receive His Justice.

However, the deceit being marketed by American preachers is one of lies and heave from hell that supposes that people can turn The True Word of God into usury so as to get all the prosperity, power, affluence and mammon…this has never been the Gospel and never Truth but lies. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is about forgiveness of sins, deliverance from demonic oppression, and carrying our crosses and following Him. If we love godliness then we must endure sufferings for Christ Jesus…it has been that way for all Christians through the centuries. We in the last days are even to endure more, seven years of tribulation.

Secondly, American preachers are constantly painting a picture through powerful media outlets like TBN that those who supposedly live right as they do will enjoy such an affluent Christian life as shown on TBN. To my number of trips back and fro to Africa, I have seen this deceit over and over again, especially in urban areas were Christians think that True Christianity is one portrayed by Paul Crouch and his preposterous Seed-faith Mammon family. I have found many Christians in Africa wasting resources to build structures just like those rendered on TBN and with all the Red Carpets…they have been bewitched and blinded by Paul Crouch and his fellow preachers in believing such deceit from Satan…this is truly ‘Another Gospel’.

Giving not tantamount to Righteousness…
As I have previously mentioned before, giving is never synonymous with Holiness and righteousness. Reading the bible, one clearly sees Jesus Christ confronting this type of deceit that the Pharisees and Scribes enjoyed to display. For they loved to be seen as the greatest givers and enjoyed the honors accorded to those who gave large sums of money.

Many Christians in the West have been deceived that if the give to Africans or poor people, then they are righteous and holy and therefore see themselves as next to God. Jesus bemused these Pharisees when He categorically charged to their ears that the old lady who gave her button had given more than all the rich men had done. Jesus Christ was not to be deceived, for He checked the hearts of men and motives.

The greatest tool being used by Satan to propagate deceit from the Apostate Churches in America to Africa has been through giving…using the power of Mammon, which is a pretext for spreading The Satanic New World Order America-nized Gospel. Many in Africa because of their plight in poverty don’t question the waters from whence they drink from. They don’t question the contamination of the milk they are getting…as long as it is 90 per cent milk, they will not question the subtle 10 per cent poison meant to kill them spiritually. On the other hand American so-called preachers and missionaries cement their motives by thinking that if they care for the poor and orphans in Africa, then they would have done Jesus Christ a great service and as such expand what they think is the kingdom of God yet what they propagate are their American denominations always giving handouts of half truth and lies. Jesus was so clear to His disciples when He warned then against the yeast of the Pharisees and Herod – the teachings of the False Leaders and Political Christianity. The Paul in the letter to the Galatians warns the Christians of the same…

Galatians 5:9
9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

So, half-truth is no good truth at all but lies. The notion that it is okay to take 90 percent truth and accept 10 per cent deceit from false teachers, hypocrisy and lies from Satan is no truth at all…the little leaven leaveneth the whole lump…be aware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees for it is hypocrisy.

This is what has killed the Church, especially in America where the same lies are propagated around the world. Half-truth and half lies is nothing but mere propaganda. The churches have become propaganda centers for the New World Order. It is a form of Mind Control and manipulation by those in Christian leadership. No true Christian can have a flourishing spiritual life in such churches. The leaders of these Mind Controlled churches always claim that “there is no church that preaches all truth” – this is in itself a lie and I urge saints to avoid such “men of God”.

Matthew 16: 5-12
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Luke 12: 1-3
1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops

Spending Millions with Strings Attached…
So, we hear churches and pastors boast of how they are to spend millions to care for the orphans and poor in Africa yet behind the curtains they are in usury schemes to collect more offertories for their ministries and gain accolades of men as being so humanitarian. So, in most cases you find out that the entire project they run across Africa are a means for survival and gain from them. It is how they benefit. That is why most of the so-called Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) spend huge amount of donor funds on so-called administrative costs, which can be defined as anything, and as such the poor become a source of means for survival…

Social Works Not Gospel of Jesus Christ…
So, giving powered by mammon become a conduit for manipulations and certainly evil and distortion of Truth and The Gospel. While I do appreciate the need to help the needy in Africa by clothing the needy and feeding the hungry, which should even be done at a greater degree, I do believe that we cannot substitute the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves man from sin with American noodle soup gospel. The greatest need for any human soul is Jesus Christ and His Cross…we cannot pretend that we are preaching the gospel by simply giving hand outs yet deny these souls the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

African Man seen as ‘Evil’ and ‘Corrupt’…
It is at this point that American Christian NGOs and Missionaries feel the need to assert control. The African man is always seen as the most corrupt and unable to care to his own business, therefore these missionaries engage in a colonial and imperialistic mode of imposing their “managerial skills’ on the “less skilled” Africans. The result is a perpetual dependency on Western Aid and Donor funds with the Africans conditioned to think that they can never take control of their own affairs – Total Mind Control.

Poor African Bewitched by Denominational Funding…
These missionaries backed by humongous denominational funding always seek to impose the doctrines NOT of Christ Jesus but that of their American Denomination. The poor Africans will never question the “generous” missionary simply because they see it as the only way to escape their predicament of vicious poverty…as such they will accept any false doctrines and drink from mudded waters that flow from the ponds of the Apostate American Christianity.

Giving By American Evangelicals Neo-Imperialistic…
Giving by American Christian Denominations has become a Neo-Imperialistic and Neo-colonial New World Order adventure. These well established American Christian denominations see the poor in Africa as subjects who they must control and indoctrinate so as to expend their statistics and enlarge their checking accounts with huge donor funds from unsuspecting American Christians happy with the “Church Growth” of their denominations and what they see as a spread of Christianity with combined American democracy and so-called freedoms.

Be Aware of Yeast of Herod…
As mentioned earlier, there is always a link between the Religious Right America in and The Neo-con Political America. We are witnessing history repeat itself with the saying come true that “Behind the Cross was The Flag”. American Christian Dominionism together with all who perpetrate it has become one of the most repugnancies and smears from Satan against the True Christians who have nothing at all to do with such hypocrisy. American Christians, because of their affluence and wealth have resorted to worshiping the god of Mammon and use Missions as a means of gain from other Americans while at the same time blinding the Africans from a true personal relationship with Jesus Christ that has no imperialistic string attachment to it.

Jesus saw such hypocrisy and warned his disciples against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees…and interestingly, also the yeast of Herod…

Mark 8:14-19
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. 15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. 16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. 17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? 18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? 19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

Jesus Christ warns us first of the Yeast of The Pharisees and Second The Yeast of Herod. We know that the Pharisees represented The Religious Right of that day and all those who wanted to be seen as holy yet practiced deceit in darkness. They used good to pretend to be good on the outwards but the good acts were mere strings to bind yokes on those under them. The Pharisees just like the American Religious Right and Dominionism Movement had political backing…and that was King Herod who surprisingly loved to be seen as a solutions provider, and loved to be worshiped. He loved to be seen as a protector of religious freedoms of the Jews, yet many saw him as a traitor, even the Pharisees, but used him anyway to get their agendas done. Herod likewise used the Pharisees to legitimize his authority.

The differences are not so much different today with the advent of the Religious Right Dominion Movement…these are our modern day Pharisees and have a backing of an “evangelical” President of The United States of America who sees these religious lunatics as extending his “Freedoms” around the world. The Political and Religious, the Pharisees and Herod, all joining hands to establish deceit and lies as they push forward for world Dominionism.

Yes, Jesus Christ warned us against such ‘Political Christianity’…
Jesus Christ was very adamant about such hypocrisy and said that we are to be aware of the Yeast of The Pharisees and The Yeast of Herod. Now, many are surprised that Jesus Christ would attack such a political figure as Herod…some Christians who will read this will be mad and go like…”oh no! How can he attack our Christian Brother, The evangelical President of the USA?” Jesus Christ was very clear…the Yeast of Herod was to be rejected…the usury of politicians to use Christianity to foster their agendas was and is to be rejected by all Christians.

The recent usury demonstrated by the Herods of our day in the US has brought disdain to The Name of The Lord Jesus Christ. The war in Iraq had a blessing on many American non discerning Christians who bought into the Herod Yeast and with the blessings of the Yeast of the Religious Right Evangelicals, these poor Christians were deceived into a war that turned out to be lies and greed of the Rich Men of The Earth who are waging wars for Oil.

The Church in America has become so tied with the Political and that is what they are propagating around the world. That is the essence of Dominion Christianity. They see themselves as taking over politics and as such ushering in Jesus Christ’s Kingdom by having so-called Christian nations and so-called Christian politicians. This is the doctrine that was used to support GW Bush to office in America and support his imperialistic wars in Iraq for oil with lies as evidence…such Christianity is NOT and we should separate from such Political Evangecalism…

It is sad that Christians in Africa are drinking from the same cup of deceit from American Evangelical Political Christianity. As Christians it is time we renounce such activities, repent and love Jesus Christ, flee from such hideous yeast of Pharisees and Herod of Today.

So, the business of using missions to bind Africans in another form of religious slavery and form denominational colonies is absurd and a reproach to the preaching of the true gospel.

Racist and Fascist Missionary Mentality…
Because of this racist mentality by American missionaries, African peoples have resorted to see themselves and not real men and people who cannot think for themselves but have to wait on the white man from America to think and make plans for them. The American Pharisee Missionaries have succeeded in their mind control mission. It is interesting that American missionaries claim that handling of their institutions to the African Man will ruin their missions still largely control most of the missions and bible colleges being setup in Africa today. Most of the churches bare overtly mark of Americanization with no shame to these missionaries. The simple fact they give is that they supply money and resources and therefore Micro and Macro Manage the African Christian Man. This has been one of the greatest setbacks in developing true leadership in African Christian Communities. The whole notion is racist and at the very best fascist.

This mentality being fostered by American Missions is a very big hindrance to the furthering of the gospel in many parts of Africa and the cried a lot about 10-40 Window. American Missionaries see themselves with the ordained right, skills and endeavors from Heaven of fulfilling these missions. However, the mentality is sorely based on the dominion gospel that sees American Christians take all nations for Christ.

America-nized Christian Culture a Reject…
There are many setbacks that many have endeavored to write about on this subject. I for one being from Africa see that American Culture is constantly being rejected by thousands around the world, they are drained of all the imperialistic predilection that is portrayed by the religious right and neo-con politicians in America. They see this as an invasion to take away their religious freedoms and political freedoms and get imposed with the religion of GW Bush and his Neo-cons. However, dominionist American Missionaries refuse to see this and instead think that money will buy blessings. The poor Africans in turn resort to siphoning all the monies from the West while themselves turning corrupt more than their western dominionist sponsors…thus fulfilling the sayings of Jesus Christ to the Pharisees…

Matthew 23:15
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Making Twice The Sons of Hell…
So, shame and reproach is brought on The Name of The Lord in Africa by Christians who end up becoming more corrupt and reprobate than their American TV Evangelists and Denominational Missionaries who care more about expending their kingdoms. African Christians are now being turned into twice sons of hell than the American Evangelical political Christians. It is time to repent from all these dead works of men. I call upon African Christians to Repent and Turn Back to The True Word of God, a life of holiness, purity and righteousness, until we no longer live but Jesus Christ lives in us for His glory as we totally submit to Him alone and not to the laws and rulings of the America-nized Man.

American Missionary-ism is over!!!
At this point I would like to say that the American Missionary Enterprise is over! Yes, Missionary work, as we know it today will cease and stop because it has become a reproach before The Lord and His saints around the world. The era of American Denominational worldwide evangelism is over! This is a very hard saying and many will disagree…especially the imperialistic American dominion evangelicals. However, those who will critically look at these things will see otherwise. American evangelical Dominion Christianity is nothing but simply a push and extension of the American Empire and not the True and Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is coming to an end and will not endure in the end times. It will not endure the great tribulations. Thanks to Jesus Christ for the great tribulation because it will be a time for cleansing and purification of the Church and death dead works of men such as the pathetic Dominion Evangelical Christianity.

Matthew 23:13
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Yes, leave America-nized Churches and leaders…
>>Care for the Poor, Orphans and the Neglected of This world.

Commentary on The Antipas Article...
July 29, 2006

The original URL for this article is:

http://www.yesumulungi.com/Articles/Article4.htm

African Christians Awake, Babylon USA Not a Friend...Antipas New!
Babylon and her scramble for African resources using Christianity as a pretext...

"Behind the Cross, was the Flag"...African Independence Activists and their description of Western Missionaries...

America is Babylon, Virgin Daughter of Babylon, and Daughter of Babylon spoken about in:Isaiah 13, Isaiah 14, Isaiah 47, Isaiah 48, Jeremiah 50, Jeremiah 51, Habakkuk 1:1-2, Zechariah 5:5-11, Revelations 17, Revelations 18.

America is head of all Religious, Political, Social, Economical, Physical and Greater Babylon...

I believe that there is that Greater Babylon but America in Rev 17 is not only the head of the Religious Babylon but also Physical Babylon...

...and God's command is to come out of her and flee from her midst...Amen

I have received e-mails from American Christians requesting that I remove this article from this website because Antipas Ministry is "Apostate" and spreading "Hate". Though I don't agree with S.R. Shearer and Antipas Ministries on 'every topic' but when it comes to this article, they are right on the mark and I will not allow myself to be deceived by some naive Americans that what is happening in Africa courtesy of the American Missionaries is "not happening".

I will not pretend that these facts are not true simply because I want to please some Americans. What is stated in this article is very, very true and regardless of what problems some American Christians have with S.R. Shearer and Antipas Ministries, what was said in the article is truth and is exactly what is happening on the ground here in Africa...I am a witness.

I don't deny the fact that some good missionaries have helped Africans here and are helping out...in most cases, these Missionaries come alone and are not part of the American Christian Enterprise, and currently many are undoing what the American Missionary Enterprise has done to Africa...I am not blind about that fact.

The Whole so-called Missionary Projects by American Christian Denominations to Africa and the 10-40 window is a false and a counterfeit. I have written about this in my articles... 'Americanized Christianity, Another Gospel to Africa'; 'Jesus Christ, an Offence To Westernized Christianity'; 'The Laodicean American Church in Bed with Another Lover'; 'Transformations II, Political Christianity, and False African Revivals'.

American Christianity is an Abomination, an evil, detestable and only corrupts. Currently in Africa, we are facing apostasy in Churches courtesy of Americanized Christianity.

Having said that, I know very well, that there is a remnant in America and the Lord knows them, they are not part of this false religious-political system and The Lord is calling them to come out of this Babylonian System (Daughter of Babylon = USA). To simply deny the link between American Political System and the False Christianity in America is a evil and being very, very unjust.

Just because American Christians give money to Africa does not make their Political - Christianity alliance right. In Africa, we pray that we should not fall into the same trap and as such True Christians in Africa stand out as a witness against the whole American Christian Babylonian enterprise that it is false, apostate, and an abomination before God of Heaven and all True Christians in America should NEVER be apart of it and should come out of it.

So, for those who think Truth is Hate, go ahead and call it that...call evil good and good evil, or simply play ignorance and 'self righteousness' for which I have seen a lot in America and especially among 'American Christians'...Many think that the USA is so holy and righteous and deny the fact that her Christianity has been soiled by her political alliance with the American State and even gone further to make other nations drunk with the same apostasy of Dominionism, religious right movement and other abominable "Christian social practices...

True American Christians are to come out of such diabolical alliances and renounce such associations and be a True Witness for Jesus Christ against such False Christianity that has been birthed, groomed and natured in America and certainly for American Hegemonic Interests.

Those who refuse to come out from such a filthy American Christian Dominionist Enterprise are also doomed for Hell, unless they repent. America is the greatest nation on planet earth in regards to Political, Social, Religious, and Economic Hegemony and as such receives the greatest rebukes and judgment from The Lord.

This writer has also studied and lived in America for seven years until he 'Came Out' of America and as such I know Africa very well and I know America very well. I am not a fool, stupid, or seeking some gain out of this...The American Hegemony is evil and on a collision course with God Almighty for Judgment. America among all nations will receive the severest of judgments...Amen.

The fact is that we have gained nothing from so-called missionaries from the America Christian Enterprise here in Africa apart from Apostasy, materialism, control, manipulation, denominations, divisions, spiritual whoredoms, spiritual harlotry, and spiritual imperialism.

Just check and see what the likes of Benny Hinn, TD Jakes, Joyce Meyer, Rick Warren and other American Liars and Apostates are doing here in Africa. African Christians lost their religious and spiritual liberties to American Preachers, Denominations, controllers etc...we don't want to be a part of that American religious political system anymore. Jesus Christ and True Christianity is not American and will NEVER be!

Please, those among the so-called remnant movement in America, don't send me your emails of how you hate each other and how many divisions you have among yourselves. How such and such remnants are evil and you are okay, how, America is not Babylon etc...I am tired of such emails; they are nauseating, nasty, bogus, and not helpful at all. I don't need your divisions, and Africa does not need them...

If you have problems among your selves, contact the very persons involved and solve them. The fact that the whole so-called end time remnant movement in America is filled with hate, divisions, makes me believe it is false and a counterfeit! The Problem among you all is AMERICA. So, my simple advice is Come out of her! Rev 18:4...

Revelation 18:4
(4) And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

WHAT BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS CAN'T SEE THE NON CHRISTIANS READ THE BIBLE AND SEE THAT THE CHRISTIANITY OF PROSPERITY PREACHERS LIKE KAYANJA IS A FRAUD.REMEMBER CHRIST SAID THE CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD ARE IN THEIR GENERATION WISER THAN THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT.

SEE Kevin O'Connor'S ARTICLE

Is Pastor Robert Kayanja’s Christianity Christian?

September 17, 2006

ROVING EYE

http://www.monitor.co.ug/artman/publish/OConnor/Is_Pastor_Robert_Kayanja_s_Christianity_Christian.shtml

Pastor Robert Kayanja is rarely out of the news. Recently, there has been his alleged involvement in a wine smuggling racket. I have no idea whether there is any truth in these allegations, but what I do know is that it takes an immensely rich and powerful man to have organised and funded the large newspaper advertisements that subsequently appeared denying his involvement in the smuggling scandal.
Kayanja oozes and drips wealth. According to The Red Pepper (September 2 2006 Page 2) he owns:

Rubaga Miracle Cathedral;
Highway Holiness International, an NGO with many American links;
Robert Kayanja Ministries, an NGO with over 1000 branches in Uganda and the USA;
a house in Chicago;
businesses in the USA;
innumerable Mercedes Benz and land cruisers;
a private jet
Furthermore, Kayanja is building a magnificent house at Ggaba on the shores of Lake Victoria. Last Sunday, at his Rubaga Miracle Centre his reaction to critics who say he is amassing wealth and building a palace in Ggaba, was: "It's none of their business!"

I find Kayanja's version of Christianity most distasteful. Jesus Christ lived in, and amongst, the poor. He travelled not in a private jet but on a donkey, whose modern day equivalent would perhaps be a bicycle or a boda boda. And should Jesus have flown in a plane, he would surely have accompanied the less wealthy passengers in economy class.

But that would not be good enough for Pastor Robert Kayanja. According to the same Red Pepper article: "The Kampala staff and ticketing agents of his favourite airline, British Airways, privately express surprise and concern that while some religious leaders fly aboard British Airways in any class available, Kayanja, who pastors a church of ordinary struggling Ugandans, can splash large amounts of money on First Class travel."I spoke to three Ugandans, and I found it reassuring that none of them respected Kayanja.

Catharine, a 20-year old athlete and a born-again Christian, drew upon that famous verse in the Bible: "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." (Mathew 19:24).

As Joachim Buwembo rightly pointed out (The East African, June 27 2006, P 15) this is a verse "you are not likely to hear anymore crossing a preacher's lips. Many a pastor has probably already deleted it from his Bible."But the verse had not been deleted from Catharine's brain. She commented: "The Bible says a certain man asked Jesus how he could enter God's Kingdom. Jesus said that he should sell everything and give to the poor. Rich pastors, if they are genuine, should give back their wealth to the poor. "Yusuf, a 25-year old computer engineer, had no doubts as to what motivates rich pastors:

"These people, the so called pastors, are out to make money. They go out there in developed countries asking money from people who are actually serious with Christian religion. And when they get this money, they come back here build a simple church using a quarter of what they were given. And the rest of the money is his and his family. They are just making money - their Christianity, I doubt."

But the most forceful views were those of Stephen, a 31-year old IT professional. Almost yelling, he told me:
"It is wrong for a man of God to be so filthy rich. But this is the way the whole pentecostal church thing has gone." "And what, Stephen, do you think of Pastor Kayanja's 'it's none of their business' reaction to those who criticise his huge wealth?"

"It is total nonsense!" replied Stephen. "A church is a public thing. He has to be accountable. People rightly want to know how he lives his life and what his values are. He is a public figure, full stop. That 'mind your business' statement is so annoying. Does Miracle Centre have audited books? I know KPC has."

Today, Sunday, I will not be in the Rubaga Miracle Centre, but hopefully watching Manchester United V Arsenal. Pastor Robert Kayanja, you can keep your form of Christianity. It is not for me, nor for my three Ugandan friends.

You are wrong on tithing Pastor Peter Sematimba

2008-03-26T03:18:00.000-07:00

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7)

On his ‘living in prosperity’ programme on UBC Pastor Sematimba has been propagating the heresy that Christians should tithe if they are to get prosperity and blessings from God. In fact he threatens that God will send curses upon Christians who do not tithe. He bases his argument on Deut: 28 and Mal. 3

The prosperity pastors in Uganda are threatening Christians that unless they bring their tithes to them to consume, they will be cursed by God. One pastor recently said that God can curse an entire church because of failure on part of one church member to tithe. You Liars and extortionists, if tithing is so important as you emphasize, how comes Jesus never tithed? How come the disciples never tithed? You say that the tithe should be given to the pastor to consume, is a pastor a Levite?

Can you give us a verse in the bible that says that the tithe should be given to the pastor to consume. You blame the Sevethday Adventists for emphasizing the Sabbath, how different are you? One of these days , you will tell us to circumcise our bodies. Tithing is nonsensical in this new testament period of grace.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GIVE AND NOT TO TITHE(Luke 6:38).Tithing is part of the mosaic law , we are no longer governed by the mosaic law and therefore whoever lives under the mosaic law in this new testament of grace is under a curse.

DO NOT BELIEVE THE TITHING LIE: UNDER THE NEW COVENANT CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO GIVE AND NOT TITHE. PRECISELY THE TITHING LAW IS OBSOLETE AND DEFUNCT.. AMEN

A Few Financial Questions For Ugandan Pastors TodayKato Mivule

http://www.yesumulungi.com/Apologetics/Appologs41.htm

November 26, 2007

Greetings Brethren and Shepherds,I am writing to you about a sensitive issue in the Ugandan Church Today concerning Finances today. This is in no way to 'attack' any preacher or pastor but to hold ourselves accountable to the WHOLESOME WORD OF GOD...

If we are truly sincere to ourselves and God's Holy Word, then we should at least take the challenge to answer a few of the questions below...

The Issue of Finances has been abused and it has brought shame to The Name of The Lord among Christians and none Christians alike. Though there are few preachers and pastors who have stood for noble causes and used Finances honorably; however, many today are involved in what the Bible refers to as extortion and defrauding of the saints…I thought it imperative to call all Brethren and those who stand in position of shepherds among them to Accountability to God's Holy Word...After doing some small research here in Uganda, focusing on the Urban Areas - Kampala, Entebbe, Mukono, Jinja, I found something alarming... almost 8 out of 10 sermons preached on Sunday services are about money and manipulating people to give and sow into some 'big ministry" or minister... Other messages center on self motivation, positive thinking (thinking big, going to the next level), etc…messages that seem very ‘Christian’ until one opens their Bible to cross check just like the Berean Christians did in Acts 17:10…The News Media has had article after article exposing financial malpractice among many preachers in Kampala... Many Pastors dismiss these articles as 'witch hunt', yet The Name of The Lord is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of selfish actions by the Preachers and Pastors in the name of prosperity and getting rich...Story after story is out there of Pastors promising ‘big rewards’ from God if believers give, claiming that The Lord ‘Told them so’…
Pastors are complaining that Folks are no longer giving Tithes as they ought to... The Tithes are reducing and thus making many Pastors angry with their congregations or issuing eternal threats to believers... like "you will not get into heaven if you don't tithe'...
When one turns on Christian Radio and Christian TV today, most messages are about Prosperity, Tithes, and Sowing, how to get to the ‘next level’ (High mindedness), getting Visas etc… Christianity in Uganda is becoming a big business and money generating machine… Some preachers and Pastors do it overtly, others do it subtly in a very "organized way" yet still fleecing and defrauding the Saints of God...

It is a shame to even mention what some Pastors and Preachers do to get money from believers here in Kampala, a behavior not much different from extortion and defrauding of the saints. The News Media is full of such stories and it is not my intention to bring those stories of palatial life styles and extortion among Kampala Pastors in this simple letter... Jesus Christ gave a stern warning to Pharisees about such behavior…that such folks had greater condemnation to Hell… Pretty strong words…hardly preached in today’s Prosperous Churches…
Matthew 23:14
(14) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Matthew 23:24-26
(24) Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
(25) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
(26) Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
So, I thought it worthy to call our selves back to Accountability NOT to MAN but to GOD'S HOLY WORD...Because it is GOD'S WORD THAT WILL JUDGE US and NOT MAN...
· What does Jesus Christ Teach about Giving?
· What does Paul the Apostle Teach about Giving?
· Does True Bible Doctrine on Giving Matter today?
· Does Matthew chapter 13 speak about Sowing to Give Money or about The Word of God and one’s response to God’s Word?
· Is the Seed in Matthew 13 Money or God’s Holy Word?
· Are we not supposed to give to the orphans, widows, poor and those in need?
· Are we to Tithe or not to Tithe under the New Covenant of Jesus Christ?
· Is tithing the only Old Testament Law of Moses we are supposed to keep in the New Covenant under Jesus Christ?
· Are Pastors and Ministers Levites in Churches Today?
· If so, did the Church replace physical Israel?
· What about Hebrews Chapters 7 and 8?
· Is Jesus Christ not the New and Perfect High Priest?
· Did Jesus Christ not offer His Body as the perfect sacrifice once and for all as the Perfect High Priest without sin?
· If so, how can a High Priest (Jesus Christ is from the Tribe of Judah) not from the Tribe of Levi receive Tithes?
· Are All Believers not Priests in the Church Today according to 1 Peter 2:9?
· Who is the High Priest today - Is it not Jesus Christ - Hebrews 7 and 8?
· Then how comes a Pastor receives a Tithe and Not the High Priest?
· Who is Head of the Body of Christ or the Church, is it Pastors, Apostles or Jesus Christ?
· Why did Paul NOT teach the Church to Tithe but taught them instead to GIVE?
· Why did Jesus Christ NOT teach about Tithes but taught people to GIVE?
· Yes, the Bible Teaches Giving but are we not taught in the same Bible to Give freely and cheerfully but not out of compulsion?
· Why are Pastors and Preachers forcing and manipulating Christians to give in Churches today with threats?
· Is Tithing NOT part of MOSAIC LAW?
· If it is, then why are we SUPPOSED to Keep It?
· If we are to keep it then why NOT Keep the Circumcision and Sabbath Laws?
· Is it NOT a Curse NOT to keep the Whole Mosaic Law according to Galatians Chapter 3 and 4?
· So, why do Pastors and Preachers keep ONLY the Mosaic Law of Tithing yet they refuse to keep The Other Mosaic Laws like Circumcision and Sabbath observance?
· If Tithing was before the Mosaic Law, then what about Circumcision which was before the Mosaic Law…why not keep it to justify both Tithing and Circumcision since both were practiced by Abraham before the Mosaic Law?
· How to we obtain God’s Blessings?
· Do we Obtain God’s Blessings (Abraham Blessings) through Tithing?
· If so, what about Galatians 3:13-14?
· Why did the Apostles have the ACTS chapter 15 Conference?
· Was it not about the Issue of Keeping or Not Keeping the Mosaic Laws and Circumcision as a prerequisite for Salvation?
· Is Tithing Not part of the discussed Mosaic Laws in the ‘Acts 15 Conference’?
· Are we not guilty of Extortion and Devouring widows’ properties with Today’s Prosperity and Tithing Gospels?
· Did Jesus Christ Really Promise to Make Material Wealth those who came to Him?
· Did the Apostles promises Material Wealth to those whom they preached?
· Is the Prosperity Gospel really scriptural?
· What are The Lord’s Instructions to those who are Rich Materially in the Church?
· Should we not repent to The Lord of Extortion, Defraud, Manipulation, Mind Control, threatening Saints for their failure to give to our ‘big ministries’?
· Why don't Pastors and Ministers support themselves by Vocational Jobs Like Paul the Apostle did with his Tent Making Skill in order to support himself and NOT be a burden to the Churches?
· Is it a sin for Pastors and Ministers to take on vocational jobs and work while they minister?
· Is it right and biblical for Pastors to spend excessive amounts of money buying expensive cars, Gulf Stream Jets, Palatial Houses, and Designer Clothes all in the name of Prosperity, using funds given to Church by the Saints?
· If so, is that not extortion?
· Is it Biblical to preach that those who are poor will go to Hell and only the rich will go to heaven (because they don’t complain)…what about Lazarus and the Rich Man, what about James chapter 5:1-7, what about The Lord being the Defender of the poor, widows, orphans, and needy?
· Does the Bible contradict itself or is someone preaching a false teaching?
· Is it biblical to spend huge amounts of money on building Mega Churches (Cathedrals) while the rest of the saints starve and are filthy poor?
· Where in the Bible did the New Testament Saints build Cathedrals or fundraise for Cathedrals?
· Why did Jesus Christ not fundraise to build a temple when He preached on Earth?
· Was Jesus Christ just being Lazy?
· Why did Jesus Christ Not Fundraise to build the temple or refurbish the existing one but spoke doom and destruction to it in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21?
· Where is the Word Cathedral in the Bible, is it not a Catholic Term?
· Do we NEED (Require, in sense that we cannot preach the gospel except we have money - Mammon) Money to Preach the Gospel though we can USE money to preach the Gospel?
· Did the Early Church NEED Money to preach The Gospel or did they NEED the Holy Spirit and Truth in Preaching the Gospel?
· Are Pastors and Christians Not supposed to STUDY God's Holy Word?
· Are Christians and Pastors above Accountability to God’s Holy Word?
It seems that we need to be sincere and search out these matters in the Bible again, otherwise The Lord is holding all guilty who extort and defraud saints of money and possessions through such Doctrines as the Prosperity Doctrine, Tithing Doctrine, and Manipulative giving Teachings…
I stand to be corrected if Scriptures prove me wrong… However, I believe Christians ought to wake up and look into these matters just as the Berean Christians did in Acts chapter 17…
Acts 17:10-11
(10) And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
(11) These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
These are just a few financial questions I have for Brethren and Pastors and hopefully it explains why many believers are shunning Tithing in Churches today and instead opt to give freely as they are led of The Holy Spirit…

CHANGING THE BIBLE

Loren Davis

God's Word, the Bible, is His covenant with mankind and applies to all generations. The religious practice of pointing out so-called errors in the Bible is what has produced Mormonism, Jehovah Witnesses, Islam, and the massive schism in the Christian world today. This attitude has produced THE GAY TRANSLATION, THE FEMINIST TRANSLATION; translations that say nothing about the VIRGIN BIRTH of Christ; and versions that delete THE NECESSITY OF THE BLOOD for redemption. This list goes on into infinitum. Nothing makes a person angrier than for someone to take what he says out of context, twist his words and misrepresent him. If we, as people, feel that way when someone distorts our words, how do you suppose God feels when His words are distorted? The New Testament is THE NEW COVENANT between God and man. It is a legal document, the law of God that must not be tampered with. The Bible is God's unchanging, infallible Word

METHODS OF TRANSLATING THE BIBLE

Many translations were made by one man. Question? If one person is translating the scriptures, is it possible for him to make mistakes? Is it possible or even probable that he will taint the translation with his own doctrinal positions? The answer is obvious. Other translations were commissioned by a denomination or a particular group. Is it possible that these translations will be tainted by their doctrinal beliefs? Knowing mankind, it is impossible to believe otherwise. For example, the Catholic Bible, the Duhey Version, totally deletes "Thou shalt not make before me any graven images" from the Ten Commandments given in Exodus 20. The reasoning behind this is not hard to figure out. Catholic churches are full of graven images. WHICH BIBLE IS RIGHT? Many translations come from corrupt texts, manuscripts that were scholastically proven to be inacurate. The Bible revisers, Hort and Westcott, did not even believe in the infallibility of the Bible. By developing such watered down Bibles, the world's religions will soon have a common book to rally around, a Bible that will deny the divinity of Christ and one that will be contrary to His teachings.

NEW AGE VERSIONS, FLUID BIBLES

The New Age Movement has impacted modern Bible translations and has given us New Age Versions of the Bible. Three of these are the NIV, NASB and The Message paraphrase. Using these many translations is doing nothing but making a "fluid" Bible, which is like water. It will take on the form of whatever it is put into. A New Age Bible is developing which can be used by all religions (even non-Christians). It is so fluid that it can be taken many different ways. The New Age Movement, by using these different translations, has even infiltrated most of Evangelical Christianity.

It has SLOWLY BEEN CHANGING THE BIBLE AND ITS DOCTRINES TO LINE UP WITH the "One World" movement, the "New World Order". THESE NEW TRANSLATIONS ARE GETTING THE APOSTATE CHURCH READY to accept the Antichrist, the Mark of the Beast, his Image, and the anti-Christ's religion, Satanism. 2 Thesselonians 2:3 The proliferation of so many translations of the Bible has done more to change the teachings of Christ than any other thing. Some who worked on the NIV admitted that the translators own beliefs influenced their work.One quote from Palmer, the manager of the NIV translation, said that "the common error in the KJV was, namely that regeneration depends upon faith...and that in order to be Born Again, man must accept Jesus as his Savior". If the manager of the NIV translation project has such an objection regarding "The Born Again" experience, how is his translation going to be untainted by his view? We know that many so called "Christian" denominations do not believe in being born again.

UNSUSPECTING CHRISTIANS

Despite the facts that many of these versions are based on corrupt texts, they are continually being sold to unsuspecting Christians in Christian bookstores.

Accuracy is totally ignored as long as they will sell and make money for the retailer. THE INTEGRITY OF THE BIBLE AND IT'S INFALLIBILITY IS THE MAIN ISSUE FOR CHRISTIANS. OTHERWISE, HOW COULD ONE EVER BELIEVE IT? MANY VITAL ISSUES ABOUT MORALITY, ETERNITY, AND THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE AT STAKE. The reason this issue is so critical is that without the Bible's integrity it is impossible to establish Bible doctrine and truth. There are "favorite Word" people who attach themselves to certain scriptures, and either ignore or reject other scriptures. If, as they say, certain scriptures are not accurate, how do we know which scriptures are true? On that premise, John 3:16, the foundation for salvation may not be true. How can we know that the promises for healing and blessing are accurate? What if those scriptures were not translated correctly? The Bible is the only foundation we have to know about Jesus; salvation; and heaven. When faith in the Bible has been shaken, the foundation of our faith has crumbled.

"Doctrines of devils"(1 Timothy 4:1) can then easily take the place of the doctrines of the Bible. Many who believe the Bible is full of errors particularly target the King James Version. No version has been attacked more than the KJV. The biggest assault on the KJV comes from inside Christianity. Is this attack justified? WHY SHOULD WE TRUST THE KING JAMES VERSION ( KJV)? HOW WAS IT TRANSLATED? Scholastically, the KJV IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TRANSLATIONS. Consider these facts regarding how the KJV was translated. This will help you to gain total confidence in the integrity and scholarship that went into it so that you can be fully assured the KJV is TRULY THE WORD OF GOD. There is a major difference in a "professing" Bible, containing some of the Word of God, or the Bible that literally is the Word Of God. A TRUE BIBLE CANNOT BE PARTIALLY ACCURATE. 47 TRANSLATORS WERE INVOLVED IN THE TRANSLATION OF THE KJV "Never in history had such an assembly of scholarship and spirituality been brought together on a project as these FORTY-SEVEN LEARNED MEN.

Four were college presidents, six were bishops, and five were university professors who were all Greek and Hebrew scholars of rare scholarship. Three of them were eastern linguists who were well versed with Arabic. They were as at ease with the eastern languages as they were with their own English. "All of them believed in the plenary, verbal inspiration of the Bible, the Divinity of Christ without equivocation, and all of them were men of prayer. Some prayed as much as five hours per day during the entire course of their Christian lives. Only God could have prepared this group of men for such a monumental task, the results of which were, in the providence of God, needed for the great evangelistic and missionary thrust of the succeeding centuries." 1

THEY WERE DIVIDED INTO 6 COMPANIES

Each person was assigned certain portions of the scriptures to translate. After he finished, he met with others in the group to compare results. Their combined work was then given to each of the other groups of companies for review and approval. Finally A SELECT COMMITTEE OF TWO OF THE BEST EXPERTS IN LINGUISTICS was assigned for THE TASK OF FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL. The results were that this gave the world an objective, unbiased translation of the Bible which was done with the highest degree of scholarship. Nothing in history can match the scholarship. It still stands as a masterpiece of scholarship and literary art, unexcelled in the history of the world." 2 To criticize the King James Version is to ignore how it was translated. That criticism is unfair. It is an objective, scholarly, and unbiased translation that has no doctrinal axe to grind. Therefore, it should be unwaveringly accepted as the Word of God and believed to be completely accurate.

IF ONE BELIEVES THAT PART OF THE BIBLE IS UNRELIABLE, THEN REALISTICALLY, ONE CANNOT KNOW FOR SURE WHICH PART IS ACCURATE AND BELIEVABLE, and which is not. Then the foundation of the Faith is destroyed, because... *Romans 10:17 "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." *Psalm 11:3 "IF THE FOUNDATIONS BE DESTROYED, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?" Therefore, I submit that THE KJV MUST BE THE STANDARD BY WHICH EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUDGED. ELIZABETHAN ENGLISH: KJV AND SHAKESPEARE Many criticize the KJV saying it is hard to understand because it uses the old Elizabethan English. Yet, in the west, SHAKESPEARE is mandatory for students in schools. Shakespeare used the same Elizabethan English as the KJV. I have never heard a complaint that children can't understand Shakespeare. There are no calls to retranslate Shakespeare to put it into modern language.

As a boy I read the KJV and had no problem understanding what "thee and thou" meant. To use modern English for the Bible wouldn't be an issue if while doing this, they wouldn't change the meaning of what the Bible is saying, but that is not what has happened. These newer versions change the very essence of the Bible's doctrines. The complaint about the KJV using Elizabethan English is just a subtil ploy to change the real message of the Bible. The NIV is now the biggest selling Bible in the world. It is becoming very difficult to get a KJV Bible in bookstores.

COMPARING THE KJV WITH OTHER TRANSLATIONS EXAMPLES: Romans 1:20 in KJV," For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." The NIV and NASB change "GODHEAD" to "divine nature." This language does away with the concept of THE TRINITY. John 3:15, KJV states..."Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" The NIV deletes "should not perish" and says "May" have eternal life instead of "Shall". Colossians. 1:14, KJV, states..."In whom we have redemption through his blood..." NIV and NASB state simply..."In whom we have redemption"... The blood is deleted. Without shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. Hebrews 9:22 Psalms 8:5, KJV... "For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour". NIV and NASB.... "Yet thou hast made him ...a little lower than God". Proverbs 8:18 KJV says..."Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness." NASB and NIV state..."With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. Prosperity takes the place of righteousness.

1 Corinthians 8:4, KJV... "As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world." NASB... "There is no such thing as an idol". It denies the very existence of idols. Luke 4:8 KJV Jesus said, "Get thee behind me Satan". "NIV omits "Get thee behind me Satan." Luke 4:4 says, "And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." NIV, NASB, omits "by every word of God." Daniel 3:25, "He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." NIV and NASB say... "He said, "Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods." (A son of the gods is much different than THE SON OF GOD). John 9:35, KJV... "Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?" NIV, NASB, "Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, Do you believe in the Son of Man?" John 3:16, KJV "for God so loved the world that he gave his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life." NIV ..."For God so loved the world that he gave his ONE AND ONLY SON, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON IS DELETED.

Deleting "begotten" has a direct impact on the essential truth that Jesus was born of a virgin with a heavenly Father, which makes Him God in the flesh. He had the flesh of man, but the blood of God. He was sinless. John 3:18, NIV "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's ONE AND ONLY SON. Again, the NIV DELETES "THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD." The biblical concept of Jesus being God's ONLY BEGOTTEN SON is foundational to salvation. In John 1:14, and 1:18 the NIV also deletes ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. Matthew 1:23 , KJV says..."Behold A VIRGIN shall be with child." Matthew 1:23, NIV "THE VIRGIN will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel", which means, "God with us." The terminology THE VIRGIN was taken from Babylon and Egypt and is pagan. 1 Timothy 3:16,KJV..."GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH." NIV "Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory." The NIV DELETES the phrase, "GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH". If Jesus was not manifest in the flesh, there is no Gospel. *2 John 1:7 "For many DECEIVERS are entered into the world, WHO CONFESS NOT THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH. THIS IS A DECEIVER AND ANTICHRIST." Romans 8:1 KJV "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." The NIV DELETES "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

That means that if one has accepted Christ, even if he doesn't live right he is not under condemnation. This is the doctrine of many denominations which believe one's behavior has nothing to do with his salvation. They finally got a Bible to substantiate their doctrine. The words "SOVEREIGN and SOVEREIGNTY" are not found in the KJV one time. The NIV uses the word SOVEREIGN 315 times and SOVEREIGNTY twice. This is a prime example of denominations influencing translations to taint it with their denominational doctrine of "The Sovereignty of God". This is blatantly changing the scriptures and ADDING to them in defiance of Revelation 22:18-19. The NIV translation and teaching on "The Sovereignty of God" negates all the Bible's teachings on the importance of having faith and believing God to receive from Him. KJV speaks of "THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST". *II John 9 states... "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son." KJV uses the word DOCTRINE 51 times. The NIV uses the word DOCTRINE only 5 times.

Is this not changing the Bible? What about the "NEW" King James Version (NKVJ)? NKJV omits the word ..."REPENT" 44 times; "GOD" 51 times; "LORD" 66 times; "HEAVEN" 50 times; "HELL" 22 times; "DAMNATION" entirely; "DEVILS" entirely; "JEHOVAH" entirely; the "NEW TESTAMENT" entirely. (You can use the concordance on your computer comparing the KJV and the NKJV to verify this). MANY TRANSLATIONS ARE BASED ON CORRUPT GREEK TEXTS Here is a test to determine if a translation is based on corrupt Greek texts or not. *Use 1 Timothy 3:16, which says, "GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." If your version does not state this, you can then be assured that the translation comes from corrupt texts. Even many translations that accurately translate this scripture often change many others. Just because the cover of a book says Holy Bible doesn't make it a true Bible .

*Psalms 105:8 "He hath remembered HIS COVENANT FOR EVER, THE WORD which HE COMMANDED TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS." THE CHANGING OF SCRIPTURES The changing of scriptures by these varied translations has no end. THE SIN IS ADDING TO and/or TAKING away FROM THE BIBLE, GOD'S WORD. By doing this the translators are blatantly distorting the scriptures. These translations are no longer Holy Bibles, but fraudulent imposters. If I were the devil I would rewrite the Bible and get into the Bible translating and publishing business. He needs no advice regarding this,however, because this has already happened. This strategy of using translations to change the Bible is so diabolical that it had to come from Satan himself. This tactic has even deceived many of the very elect. It is the work of The Deceiver! Revelation 18:23 God is jealous over His Word and will not tolerate it being tampered with. To attack the integrity of the Bible is to attack the integrity and infallibility of God. The Bible is not an ordinary book. It is supernatural. God gave His Word by the Holy Ghost, and He knows how to keep it generation after generation. It was not given just to an exclusive club of clerics who are Greek scholars. That is how the Catholic church operated for years. For a long time, itt was even illegal for the laity to even have a Bible. They needed a priest to tell you what the Bible said and what it meant.

Now the protestants, by using so many translations and the heavy usage of the Greek, are virtually doing the same thing. THE PRACTICE OF USING MANY TRANSLATIONS Many ministers use several translations to develop their messages. Is there a problem here? Since most translations disagree with each other to varying degrees, this leaves it to the judgment of the minister which one he thinks is translated correctly. I have often heard preachers comment after reading from the KJV, that "this scripture was translated wrong." Then he goes to another translation and says that it was translated the right way in this one! In preaching a message, they often jump from translation to translation. This is what I refer to as the eclectic way of finding truth. If you don't like what you are reading, just go to another translation that you like better. Jumping from translation to translation now makes the preacher the final authority of faith and not the Bible.

This practice actually destroys faith in the Bible by causing the congregation to doubt that what they are reading is accurate. Now we are left with the notion that we can't understand the Bible without the preacher interpreting it for us. This practice is deadly. The abuse of the Greek to privately interpret scriptures is very intimidating. Some will read the Bible, then tell their congregants that the Holy Spirit told them that this was how it should have "really been interpreted". *2 Peter 1:20-21 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." God is jealous over His Word and will not tolerate it being tampered with. To attack the infallibility of the Bible is to attack the infallibility of God. John 1:1 says "...the Word was with God and the Word was God." The Bible is not an ordinary book. It is supernatural. God gave it to men by the Holy Ghost, and He knows how to keep it generation after generation. 2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 105:8 A WARNING FOR THOSE

WHO WOULD CHANGE THE BIBLE

Revelation 22:18-19 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." KJV A WARNING FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE A LIE II Thesselonians 2:11-12 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should BELIEVE A LIE: That THEY ALL MIGHT BE DAMNED who BELIEVED NOT THE TRUTH," To trust in a corrupt translation will cause you to believe a lie and can lead you to be damned for eternity.

SECOND ARTICLE

A Creationist's Defense of the King James Bible

by Henry M. Morris*

In this day of rapid change, when many Christians have suddenly started using one of the many modern English translations of the Bible (NASB, NIV, NEB, NRSV, NKJV, etc.), abandoning the long-used King James Version read and loved by English-speaking people of all ages and walks of life for over ten generations, it may be appropriate to review a few of the reasons why many creationists, including this writer, still prefer to use the latter.The King James Translators One reason is that all the fifty or more translators who developed the King James Bible were godly men who believed strongly in the inerrancy and full authority of Scripture and who, therefore, believed in the literal historicity of Genesis, with its record of six-day Creation and the worldwide flood.

This has not been true of many who have been involved in producing the modern versions.The spiritual motivations and convictions of the King James translators are indicated by their fascinating preface, entitled "The Translators to the Reader." The flavor of this impassioned essay can be illustrated by the following brief excerptsThe Scriptures then being acknowledged to be so full and perfect, how can we excuse ourselves of negligence, if we do not study them, of curiosity, if we be not content with them? . . . It is not only an armor, but also a whole armory of weapons, both offensive and defensive; whereby we may save ourselves and put the enemy to flight. It is not an herb, but a tree, or rather a whole paradise of trees of life, which bring forth fruit every month, and the fruit thereof is for meat, and the leaves for medicine. . . . a fountain of most pure water springing up unto everlasting life, and what marvel? The original thereof being from heaven, not from earth; the author being God, not man; the Editor, the Holy Spirit, not the wit of the Apostles or Prophets; the Penmen such as were sanctified from the womb, and endued with a principal portion of God's Spirit; the matter, verity, piety, purity, uprightness; the form, God's word, God's testimony, God's oracles, the word of truth, the word of salvation, etc.; the effects, light of understanding, stableness of persuasion, repentance from dead works, newness of life, holiness, peace, joy in the Holy Ghost; lastly, the end and reward of the study thereof, fellowship with the saints, participation of the heavenly nature, fruition of an inheritance immortal, undefiled, and that shall never fade away; happy is the man that delighteth in the Scripture, and thrice happy that meditateth in it day and night.Furthermore, the King James translators were also great scholars, every bit as proficient in the Biblical languages as any of those who have come after them.

They were very familiar with the great body of manuscript evidence, as well as all the previous translations. They worked diligently on the project (assigned to them by King James) for over seven years, completing it in the year 1611.The professional qualifications of the translators were all extremely high. There were 54 scholars originally assigned to the project by King James, though some died early in the project. There were evidently 47 who were active throughout the project, all of whom were exceptionally well qualified both academically and spiritually.For example, John Bois, who kept the most complete account of the proceedings of the translators, was extremely skilled in both Hebrew and Greek. In fact, it is reported by his biographer that he was reading through the Hebrew Old Testament when he was only five years old. He was expert in all forms of Greek, including the Koine Greek of the New Testament, and compiled one of the largest Greek libraries ever. Dr. Bois became Dean of Canterbury in 1619.Lancelot Andrews, a leader of the Old Testament translators, had been chaplain to Queen Elizabeth. He was fluent in fifteen modern languages, as well as Hebrew, Greek, and the cognate Biblical languages. He served as Dean of Westminster and later as Bishop of Winchester.Dr. William Bedwell was expert in Latin, Arabic, and Persian, preparing lexicons in these languages, as well as in the Biblical languages.

Edward Lively, who died after only a year, had been Regius Professor of Hebrew at Cambridge and had an unequaled knowledge of the Oriental languages. Dr. John Harding was Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford. Miles Smith was a noted Orientalist who became Bishop of Gloucester in 1612. He was the last man to review the translation and was selected to write the Translators' Preface.Dr. Andrew Downes spent forty years as Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford University and was on the final checking committee of the translation. George Abbott became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1611. Sir Henry Saville was Provost of Eton and was a scientist as well as Bible scholar. His works included an eight-volume edition of the works of Chrysostom. And on and on. All the translators were great scholars, deeply fluent in the Biblical languages, the cognate languages, the writings of the church fathers and other relevant materials, as well as accomplished writers in English. It is almost certain that no group of Bible scholars before or since has ever been as thoroughly fit for their task as was the King James Translation Team.The result of their consecrated labor was that the so-called "Authorized" version eventually displaced all those that had gone before and then has withstood the test of wide usage in all English-speaking countries ever since.

To suddenly abandon it in just one over-stressed, pseudo-intellectual, largely apostate generation may well prove to be a decision with sad and entropic consequences.Which New Translation Could Replace It? This is not a new question. As a matter of fact, there have been no less than 120 English translations of the complete Bible published since the King James, as well as over 200 New Testaments. Even in my own lifetime there have been at least 45 Bibles plus about 100 New Testaments, and I have tried to use at least 20 of them.My wife and I were given an American Standard Version for a wedding present when we married in 1940, and I later bought a Berkeley Version, then a Williams, and a Phillips - each time thinking the latest might be the best. I was especially pleased when the Revised Standard Version was finally marketed in 1952 with great publicity. Each time I was disappointed, however, and soon went back to the KJV. Later came the Amplified and the Expanded and the Basic English and the Living Bible and many others.

I even studied some of the older translations (Afford, Weymouth, Goodspeed, etc.).Each of these provided interesting variations in wording, as well as updating the archaic expressions and old-style English, but something always seemed missing, so I continued using the King James in my writing and speaking, and God continued to bless its use, in spite of its Elizabethan-age English.But other new translations kept on appearing. The New English Bible, Good News for Modern Man, the Anchor Bible, New American Standard, New International Version -- even the New King James Version. There were numerous others, most recently one called God's Word.On one of these -- the New King James Version -- I was even a member of the North America Overview Committee, reviewing the proposed translation of Genesis in particular, even though I cannot read Hebrew. The men who worked on the NKJV were, so far as I know, all godly men committed to Biblical inerrancy, and many of them, at least, to literal creationism, and I do believe it is the best of the modern translations. Even so, after trying to use it and endorse it, I finally went back to the "old" King James, convinced that it is still the best, in terms of poetic majesty, spiritual power, and over-all clarity and reliability.Therefore, even if one really feels keenly that he ought to switch to a modern translation, how does he decide which? With apologies to Judges 9:25, it seems today that "every man does that which is right in his own eyes," as far as selecting a Bible is concerned. But how can he decide which, if any, best preserved the inspired, authoritative Word of God? After all, God did say that His Word had been "for ever settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89) and had given sober warning to any who would presume to supplement, delete, or distort any of the words of Scripture (Revelation 22:18,19; II Peter 3:16).

Is God the Author of Confusion?

For a long time, the "official" English version used in each Bible-believing church was the King James, with the others used occasionally for reference study by teachers and pastors. Now, however, confusion reigns. Congregational unison reading is no longer possible, and church members often don't even bring their Bibles to church. The pastor preaches from one version and the people in the congregation each have their own, so they can't follow the pastor anyway, and thus they just listen, and soon forget.Scripture memorization, which has been an incalculable blessing in my own Christian life, is almost a lost art these days. I remember back in 1943 when Dawson Trotman, founder of the Navigators, first got me and others in our Gideon Camp back in Houston, to start memorizing Scripture, he used to stress that the verses should be quoted "word perfect," with their respective "addresses" cited fore and aft. But such meticulous attention to the very words of a Scripture verse becomes anomalous when even the supposed authorities all disagree on what it says, so why bother? In addition, the musical phrasing in the King James makes it easier to memorize than the more ponderous English of the modern versions.And what becomes of our long-cherished belief in verbal inspiration? If it's only the "thought" that counts, then the words are flexible. Yes, but then the thoughts themselves easily become flexible also, and we can adjust the words to make them convey whatever thought we prefer. We forget that precise thoughts require precise words.Another fast-vanishing form of Bible study is that of comparative word studies, comparing the various usages and contexts of a given key word or phrase as it occurs throughout the Bible. This has been a highly fruitful means of obtaining many precious insights into the mind of the divine writer who inspired all of them. A given word may have been rendered in various ways by the King James translators, of course, but they have assured us (in their preface) that this was always done very carefully and in accord with context and the known range of meanings carried by the word itself. A Bible student may easily discern and compare all of these -- usually with real blessing to his mind and heart -- even without knowledge of Greek and Hebrew, simply by using one of the complete concordances based on the King James translation (Strong's or Young's). But this type of study is far more difficult, if not practically impossible, with most modern versions in which the translators have often either resorted to paraphrasing the supposed thought of the writer, or even to using their own interpretation of what they think he would have said if he were aware of our modern scientific knowledge of things.One can only wonder -- and speculate -- about why our ecclesiastical leaders have felt it necessary to keep producing so many new English translations all the time. The Bible, of course, is the best selling book of all time, but surely publishing profits and translators' royalties don't have anything to do with it. Anyway, in spite of the rising popularity of many modern versions, there are still more King James Bibles and Testaments being printed and distributed today than any other. Which Version Best Renders the Original Manuscripts? Even many King James Bibles now have added footnotes referring to what are said to be "better manuscripts" which indicate that certain changes should be made in the King James text. The most famous such changes are the omission of the last twelve verses of Mark and the first eleven verses of John, chapter 8, but there are many other important omissions, as well as some additions and many word changes that have been incorporated in these new versions, with the implication that all these changes have been derived from these "better" ancient manuscripts.But what are these better manuscripts, and are they really better? The whole subject of New Testament criticism is too complex to discuss here (or for me to try to discuss anywhere!), but it is significant that almost all of the new versions of the New Testament are based on what is known as the Westcott-Hort Greek text, or some modification thereof (such as the Nestle-Aland text), whereas the King James is based largely on what is known as the Received Text (also called the Textus Receptus or the Byzantine Greek text). As far as the Hebrew text of the Old Testament is concerned, the King James is based on the Masoretic text, while the modern versions rely somewhat on the Masoretic but also on the Septuagint, the Latin Vulgate, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and various others, especially the Kittel Hebrew reference text, Biblia Hebreice, in its "Stuttgart" edition.

The Masoretic text was compiled from the ancient manuscripts of the Old Testament by the Masoretes, who were groups of Hebrew scholars dedicated to guarding and standardizing the traditional Hebrew text as "handed down" (the basic meaning of "Masoretic") from the earlier Hebrew scribes, who had in turn meticulously copied the ancient Hebrew manuscripts, scrupulously guarding against error. There seems no good reason why the Masoretic text as preserved and codified in its present form by about 600 A.D., which has served as the basis for the King James translation, should not continue to be accepted as the most accurately preserved Old Testament portion of the Bible.Most scholars would agree that neither the Greek Septuagint nor the Latin Vulgate are comparable to the Masoretic Text in accuracy or reliability. As far as the Hebrew text changes proposed by Rudolf Kittel are concerned, it is worth noting that Kittel was a German rationalistic higher critic, rejecting Biblical inerrancy and firmly devoted to evolutionism.

The Dead Sea Scrolls were produced by a heretical Jewish sect called the Essenes, but for the most part they do agree with the standard Masoretic Text.The two men most responsible for modern alterations in the New Testament text were B.F. Westcott and F.J.A. Hort, whose Greek New Testament text has largely replaced the traditional Textus Receptus in modern seminaries, especially as revised and updated by the Germans Eberhard Nestle and Kurt Aland. All of these men were evolutionists. Furthermore, Westcott and Hort, although they were Anglican officials and nominally orthodox in theology, both denied Biblical inerrancy and promoted spiritism and racism. Nestle and Aland, like Kittel, were Gemman theological liberals.Westcott and Hort were also the most influential members of the English revision committee that produced the English Revised Version of the Bible, published in 1881. The corresponding American revision committee which developed the American Standard Version of 1901 was headed by another liberal evolutionist, Philip Schaff.

Most new versions since that time have adopted the same presuppositions as did those 19th century revisers. Schaff was twice tried for heresy by his denomination and taught at the very liberal Union Seminary. As chairman of the revision committee, Schaff not only was greatly influenced by Westcott and Hort, but also by the Unitarians Ezra Abbot and Joseph Thayer, of Harvard, as well as other liberals whom he placed on the committee.Furthermore, the changes adopted by the Westcott-Hort (or Nestle-Aland) Greek texts were predominantly based on two old Greek manuscripts, the so-called Sinaiticus and Vaticanus texts, which were rediscovered and rescued from long (and well-deserved) obscurity in the 19th century. Since these are both supposedly older than the more than 5000 manuscripts that support the Textus Receptus, they were accepted as "better." This was in spite of the fact that they frequently disagreed with each other as well as with the Textus Receptus, and also contained many serious and obvious omissions. The Vatican manuscript, for example, leaves out most of Genesis as well as all of Revelation, in addition to the pastoral epistles of Paul, 33 psalms, and over a third of Hebrews.The fact that these two manuscripts are older obviously does not prove they are better. More likely it indicates that they were set aside and not used because of their numerous gross errors. Thus they would naturally last longer than the good manuscripts which were being used regularly and thus wore out sooner.The Sinaitic manuscript was reportedly rescued from a wastebasket in a monastery on Mount Sinai by another German evolutionist theologian, Friedrich Tischendorf. The Orthodox monks evidently had long since decided that the numerous omissions and alterations in the manuscript had rendered it useless and had stored it away in some closet where it had remained unused for centuries.

Yet Tischendorf promoted it widely and vigorously as representing a more accurate text than the thousands of manuscripts supporting the traditional Byzantine text. Furthermore, he assumed that it came from about the fourth century, but he never found any actual proof that it dated earlier than the 12th century.A similar mystery applies to the famous Vatican manuscript, which had been kept in seclusion in the Vatican Library since 1480 or earlier, though no one seemingly knows for sure when it was originally written or how it was acquired by the Vatican. Again, it was only conjectured to date from around the fourth century. Tischendorf learned of its existence and again was instrumental in promoting its antiquity and superiority to the Textus Receptus.There are a few other old manuscripts, even including fragmentary Greek papyri, whose textual character seems to conform more to the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus readings than to the Textus Receptus.

These all have been traced, by liberal and conservative scholars alike, to a probable source in Alexandria, Egypt, in the second or third century. At that time, Alexandria was a great center of both philosophical and theological scholarship, including a relatively large population of both Jews and Christians.The most influential man among the Christian community of Alexandria was the learned Origen, and it is believed by many that he was largely instrumental in developing the so-called "Alexandrian" text of the New Testament, of which the Vatican and Sinai manuscripts are representative, in contrast to the "Byzantine" text, from which the Textus Receptus has largely come. It is barely possible, some think, that Origen may also have been involved in developing the final form of the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament.With all his immense learning and zeal, however, it is sad that Origen's views of theology and Biblical interpretation were heretical in respect to numerous key doctrines. Like modern theistic evolutionists, he felt constrained to harmonize Christianity with pagan philosophy, especially that of Plato and the Stoics. This led him into excessive allegorization of Scripture, especially Genesis, and into denigrating the actual historical records of the Bible, even that of the bodily resurrection of Christ, as well as the literal creation of the world.Whether or not Origen and his associates were first responsible for the differences in the Alexandrian text from the Byzantine, the fact remains that significant differences do exist, and that practically all modern English translations have been heavily influenced (via Westcott/Hort, etc.) in favor of the former, whereas the King James translation has its basis primarily in the latter.In many cases, the differences are minor, but it is true that far too many do involve significant watering down of even such basic doctrines as Biblical inerrancy, the perfect divine/human nature of Christ, and the Trinity.

On the other hand, they certainly do not eliminate these doctrines, so it is still happily possible to discern these doctrines and to find the true gospel and way of salvation in almost any of the new texts or translations.In any case, one of the serious problems with almost all modern English translations is that they rely heavily on Hebrew and Greek manuscripts of the Bible developed by liberals, rationalists, and evolutionists, none of whom believed in the verbal inspiration of the Bible.Are we to believe that God would entrust the preservation of His eternal Word to men such as these? Would He not more likely have used devout scholars who believed in the absolute inerrancy and authority of the Bible?What About the Archaic Language in the King James? The beautifully poetic prose of the King James is a great treasure which should not be lost or forgotten. It has been acclaimed widely as the greatest example of English literature ever written. Apart from a few archaic words or words whose meaning has changed, which can easily be clarified in footnotes, it is as easy to understand today as it was four hundred years ago. That is why the common people today, especially those without higher education, still use and love it. It is usually the "intelligentsia" who tend to favor the modern versions.

These modern translations commonly tend to use long words and pedantic rhetoric, but the King James uses mostly one and two-syllable words. Formal studies have always shown its readability index to be 10th grade or lower. There is nothing hard to understand about John 3:16, for example, or Genesis 1:1, or the Ten Commandments, in the King James.There are some sections of the Bible, of course, that are quite complex in the original language and thus a faithful translation should preserve that same complexity (after all God inspired it that way), but all the basic histories, doctrines, and precepts are easy to follow by anyone who can read at high school level. Many sections can easily be read by children as soon as they learn to read at all. In fact, in earlier times here in America, children were actually taught to read by means of the King James Bible.It is also noteworthy that the King James was produced during the period when the English language and literature (as well as knowledge of other languages by English-speaking people) had reached their zenith of power and expressiveness. That was the age of Shakespeare, for example.

Modern English, on the other hand, has become merely a decadent remnant of its former beauty and clarity.This phenomenon seems to be a universal characteristic of languages as well as people, cities, and institutions of all kinds. A period of youthful growth and vigor reaches a zenith and is then followed by a gradual decline and eventual death. Albert Baugh, in a widely used textbook on this theme has said:The evolution of languages, at least within the historical period, is a story of progressive simplification.... Language may reintroduce previously lost complexity but over-all the superfluous and redundant aspects are systematically streamlined from the complex structure of language. (A History of the English Language New York. Appleton Century-Crofts, 1957. p. 10.)This trend is exactly opposite to any evolutionary concept of language origins, but is analogous to the law of entropy in the physical realm.With respect to the English language, the authors of a more recent study, companion to a PBS television series, note the literary accomplishments of the Elizabethan period in England as follows.The achievements of these astonishing years [i.e., 1558-1625, the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and King James I] are inescapably glorious. Elizabeth I came to the throne in 1558 at the age of twenty-five. William Shakespeare, her most famous subject, was born six years later in 1564. Her successor, James I, who gave his name to another famous masterpiece, the Authorized Version of the Bible, died in 1625. During their reigns, about seventy years, the English language achieved a richness and vitality of expression that even contemporaries marveled at. (Robert McCrum, William Cray and Robert MacNeil, The Story of English New York, Viking. 1986. p. 91.)These writers call the King James Bible "probably the single most influential book ever published in the English language" (ibid., p. 109).

They also make an important observation concerning the beautiful simplicity of the King James Language.The King James Bible was published in the year Shakespeare began work on his last play, The Tempest. Both the play and the Bible are masterpieces of English, but there is one crucial difference between them. Whereas Shakespeare ransacked the lexicon, the King James Bible employs a bare 8000 words-God's teaching in homely English for every-man. From that day to this, the Shakespearean cornucopia and the Biblical iron rations represent, as it were, the North and South poles of the language, reference points for writers and speakers throughout the world, from the Shakespearean splendor of a Joyce or a Dickens to the Biblical rigor of a Bunyan or a Hemingway (ibid., p. 113).It is no wonder that a Bible translation produced at that special time in history has (except for changes in spelling and letter form) endured for almost 400 years, meeting the needs and guiding the culture of over ten generations of English speaking peoples. In fact, it has been very instrumental in standardizing the language itself, providing a common bond among its millions of readers, and restraining what would otherwise have been a more rapid deterioration of the language.We have abandoned today many fine points of English grammar commonly used in 1600. For example, we forget that "thee," "thou," and "thine" were used to express the second person singular, with "you," "ye," and "yours" reserved for second person plural. Today we use "you" indiscriminately for both singular and plural, thereby missing some of the precise meaning of many texts of Scripture. The same applies to the "th" and "st" endings on verbs associated with second-person pronouns; they also contribute significantly to the musical quality of the language, especially as used in the King James Bible.The translators were not only Biblical scholars but accomplished writers, and one of the deliberate goals, in fact, a part of their assignment, was to produce a Bible that would "sing" with beauty and power, and would also retain literal faithfulness to the Greek and Hebrew texts, which had themselves been written with majestic musical beauty.This they did accomplish, most admirably, and modern versions are without exception inferior to the King James Bible in this regard.

The King James is also the most reliably accurate of all translations, seeking to translate the words of the original rather than "dynamically equivalent" thoughts. This aspect allows detailed word study and comparisons which are hardly possible in most other versions.With all these factors in mind, do we not most honor the Lord and His revealed Word by having it read and used in that form of our language which was in use when the English language was at its best, instead of in our modern jargon? So what if it does not sound like a modern newspaper or novel? The fact is, it should not sound-like that, for God is speaking! His Word should be distinctly different from that in some current novel or newspaper.Conclusion I believe, therefore, after studying, teaching, and loving the Bible for over 55 years, that Christians -- especially creationists! -- need to hang on to their old King James Bibles as long as they live. God has uniquely blessed it in the history of England and America, in the great revivals, in the worldwide missionary movement, and in the personal lives of believers more than He has through all the rest of the versions put together.The King James Bible is the most beautiful, the most powerful, and (I strongly believe) the most reliable of any that we have or ever will have, until Christ returns.Postscript This brief article is only a very inadequate introduction to a large and important subject.

Many excellent books and journal articles have been written on this vital theme and much of the discussion in this booklet is based on material covered in these other more authoritative publications. I have no training or experience personally with the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts and do not wish to argue the subject with any who disagree with my reasons.Many other Bible-believing creationist Christians also prefer to use the King James, but we do not regard its use as a test of salvation or spirituality. This essay is intended merely to answer questions as to why I, as well as many others, will continue to use the time-tested King James Bible in our writing and speaking.

“THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE”IS DANGEROUS“THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE”USES MARXIST IDEOLOGY AND LANGUAGE

Copyright 2008

http://www.lorendavis.com/news_articles_pdl.html

Loren Davis America and the world is under a grave threat of losing its freedom. One unexpected source that this threat is coming from is the Purpose Driven Life movement promoted by a prominent Baptist pastor named Rick Warren. He is famous for being the author of the Purpose Driven Life book that has sold an astonishing 25,000,000 copies worldwide. His Purpose Driven Life movement, has spread through churches promising church growth, and has taken over most Christian denominations. He boasts of training 500,000 pastors; reaches out to Muslims and other religions; is a personal friend and confidant to presidents and major business leaders of the world; and is now even developing Purpose Driven Nations. I will make a case that Rick Warren is yet another dangerous example of an anti-Christian movement coming incredibly this time from within Christianity itself. Not only is he seeking domination over Christianity, but is becoming a threat even attacking the heart of our freedom. My purpose for writing this is to arm people with facts and information as well as challenging them to question and seek out truth for themselves, and take a stand against the teachings of PDL and those like it. If we refuse to think, we will lose our precious freedom.

MY CASEThe ‘Purpose Driven Life’ uses the same language and philosophy as Karl Marx’s ‘Communist Manifesto’. There are some tell tale footprints, and ideological DNA. Definition from Webster’s dictionary: com·mu·nism 1840 a: a theory advocating elimination of private property b: a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed c: a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the official ideology of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics d: a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production e: a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably e: communist systems collectively Amazingly, like Karl Marx, Rick Warren also calls his Purpose-Driven Life a ‘MANIFESTO’. www.purposedrivenlife.com/thebook.aspx Rick Warren uses Lenin and Hitler as examples of how to promote his Purpose Driven Life movement.

Note: Nazi Germany was also a socialist nation. Why would Rick Warren use Lenin and Hitler who were brutal dictators as positive examples of how to implement his program? (Rick Warren, July 2005 at the Baptist World Alliance). The main issue here is the choice to live in a free society which emphasizes INDIVIDUALISM, free enterprise, capitalism, or in a COMMUNIST SOCIETY which emphasizes COMMUNAL LIVING, SOCIALISM and state control. FOR EXAMPLE, THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE ADVOCATES COMMUNITY and is AGAINST INDIVIDUALISM. *Rick Warren does this in the name of religion, but in reality he is using the church to revive the old ambitious Marxist ideology and agenda that was defeated on the battlefield and bankrupted nations. The word ‘COMMUNISM’ comes from its root word ‘COMMUNITY’. RICK WARREN’S USAGE OF THE WORD ‘COMMUNITY’ in ‘The Purpose Driven Life’ PDL, p. 127, 152, 316 “Cultivating ‘COMMUNITY’ takes CONFIDENTIALITY” *Does that mean you become a neighborhood spy? “GIVE UP YOUR OWN AGENDA FOR ‘COMMUNITY’ AGENDA”. *(In reality, them means following his agenda, not yours) That is the same thing Hitler, Stalin and Mao Tsu Tung told their nations before they led them to ruin and death.*Where there is FREEDOM there is individualism*Under Communism-Community or communal living-there is no personal freedom Rick Warren p. 145 “Community requires Commitment” PDL, p. 151 “Community means giving up your SELF-CENTEREDNESS AND INDEPENDENCE in order to become ‘INTERDEPENDENT’.” “The benefit of sharing together far outweighs the cost” *When he says give up your self centeredness, what he is saying is be society centered, altruistic or socialistic. *Giving up your independence means, GIVING UP YOUR FREEDOM. Freedom is what America is all about. (Of course this does not mean we do not care for others who are less fortunate). *Saying we must become ‘INTERDEPENDENT’. ‘Interdependent’ is the antithesis of being ‘independent’. ‘Interdependent’ is the language of the U.N. which is derived from Marxist socialism. (The Millennium World Peace Summit in September 7, 2000. UNESCO on religions role in the culture of peace.

www.crossroad.to/articles2/TwoSummits.htm) *When he talks about THE COST of ‘SHARING TOGETHER’ (‘sharing’ in this context is just another way of saying socialism, communism). I am not just talking about a hostile takeover of Christianity, but a loss of freedom as a nation. PDL, p. 81 "YOU DON’T HAVE TO ALWAYS BE 'IN CHARGE'” If I am not in charge of my life, WHO IS?” Big brother? If you don’t make decisions for your life, someone else will. We would be treated like children. This would be the end of freedom and of any independent thinking. Others would be in charge of our destiny. PDL 134 “WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO EACH OTHER” PDL, p. 140 “The Bible commands MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY”. *The Bible does not teach that. It says we are accountable to God. That is a watchdog mentality like the Nazis and Communists have. You are always looking over your shoulder. We are only accountable to Christ, our spouse, boss, and government. Romans 14:12 “Everyone of us shall give ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF TO GOD.”Jesus said regarding governments, Mk. 12:17 “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s”. This means we are to obey those in authority as long as they do not violate God’s Word. The word ‘government’ and ‘the state’ I use interchangeably. What I am talking about here is the church and state becoming totalitarian, communist. Now it not only controls the economy, taking from the rich and giving to the poor. It alone dictates the belief system, which ultimately leads to atheism. Rick Warren says, p. 134-5 “WE ARE CALLED AND COMMANDED TO BE INVOLVED IN EACH OTHER’S LIVES.” NO! The Bible speaks against being a ‘busy body’. I Tim. 5:13 “And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.” Rick Warren’s statement is the same mentality of the Marxists. We are to be good neighbors, but should keep out of each others business and affairs. Prov 26:17 “He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.” KJV The Bible teaches we are to have compassion on those in need and help one another, but it is totally a voluntary action from the heart and not mandatory or centrally controlled. John 13:34 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another” KJV *Some scriptures have been abused to teach ‘liberation theology’, communism.
THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE USES GLOBALIST LANGUAGEGlobalism is the uniting of nations economically, culturally, ideologically, ecologically, politically and militarily which would ultimately be managed under a one world government. Under Globalism, nations will lose their sovereignty, and individuals their freedom. Remember, Marxist Communism’s goal has always been to conquer and rule the whole world. Despite what we have been told that Communism is dead, that communistic dream is still very much alive. They are just using different tactics and disguises now. Oct. 27, 2003 Rick Warren’s e-mail entitled GOD’S DREAM FOR YOU—AND THE WORLD. *He is misusing Christ’s Great Commission of Mark 16:15 to promote the globalists political agenda which is against Christ and the Bible. His idea of the Great Commission has nothing to do with Christ’s recorded in Mark 16:15. PDL, p. 298, 300 “THINK GLOBALLY”.
REPROGRAMMING, SUBLIMINAL BRAIN WASHINGRick Warren “by a COMPLETE CHANGE OF MIND” RW p. 43. Why do we need a complete change of mind? That translates that we are to give up everything we have believed and held dear in the past. That would mean that we would no longer believe in individualism; capitalism; or freedom. To completely change our mind would mean that now we become socialists; don’t believe the Bible; don’t believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven; and ultimately, become atheists. PDL, p. 286 “To fulfill your mission will require that YOU ABANDON YOUR AGENDA” *This is not in the scriptures. *It’s one thing to surrender to God’s will in your life, but it’s a whole new ball game to give control of your life to another man or institution. It is a Marxist mentality which says we should give up our agenda for the state’s or church’s agenda. His philosophy is that our purpose for living is to serve the church or state, not the state or church’s purpose is to serve the people. In the U.S. Constitution is says, “The government is FOR THE PEOPLE, by the people”. The people were never to exist FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE GOVERNMENT. America was founded by people who were fleeing the tyranny of the church and state and wanting to live free. PDL, p. 83 “GIVE UP YOUR WILL” What an incredible statement. This is exactly what is espoused by the Communist Manifesto. We are to seek the will of God, but nothing in the Bible infers that we are to ‘give up our will’. God Himself gives us a choice. To tell people to give up their will means you want to control their lives and manipulate them. That is how a child is treated. It is evil and deadly for the state, a pastor or a church to demand people to ‘give up their wills’. Then people would be nothing but zombies whose purpose is just to facilitate the will of those in power. It appears one of his objectives is to bring the protestants under a central control just like the Roman Catholic Church, where the church dominates the lives of its parishioners. This would make him the protestant pope, defining the faith and enforcing the church’s will, as he defines it. PDL, p. 83 “TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL” This statement has far reaching implications. It translates that you should let someone else take control of your life. YOU ALONE SHOULD BE THE DECISION MAKER OF YOUR LIFE. It’s bad enough to make your own mistakes, let alone allowing someone else make mistakes on your behalf or USE YOU. Joshua 24:15 “Choose this day whom you will serve”. This shows God honors our will. Communist societies are dictatorial. In China, families are only allowed to have one child. Any more pregnancies must be aborted by law; the Bible is outlawed; there is no freedom of worship; freedom of speech; or freedom of the press. The state is in total control of what is done and said publicly. Rick Warren is advocating that the pastors be given absolute authority over their congregations. This explains why pastors have flocked to his program. This is just a conditioning interim step towards absolute state control over the masses, micro-managing our lives.
RICK WARREN’S PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE MOVEMENT IS A RELIGIO/POLITICAL MOVEMENT.Rick Warren says he has no political ambitions, but his teachings and activities betray him.
Not only is he advocating uniting all churches to come under him and be Purpose Driven Churches.He is now having Purpose Driven Nations joining with presidents. He says Rwanda is the FIRST Purpose Driven Nation. Time Magazine, August 15, 2005. Other nations are to follow. For Rick Warren to be seeking to make all churches Purpose Driven and also national governments Purpose Driven is hard evidence that he is trying to bring the church and state together under the same tyrannical philosophical system. He is meeting with the U.N.; the Council of Foreign Relations, the CFR; major business leaders; and heads of state around the world. Believe me, these non-Christian leaders are not meeting with him to help him evangelize the world for Christ, but are using him to help implement their own political agendas. If they didn’t have common ground they wouldn’t be working with him. (google: Rick Warren CFR).
Rick Warren describes the CHURCH as the REAL PEACE CORPS.PDL, p. 296. *The Peace Corps is a political organization, not a religious one. In the Bible, God never called his people to be a PEACE CORPS. He called us to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature.
Rick Warren was invited by the U.N. and accepted, to come to the U.N.’s INTERFAITH PRAYER MEETING which was attended by leaders of Islam, Buddhism, Catholicism, Protestantism and every other faith. (Google: Rick Warren CFR, Rick Warren U.N. Interfaith Prayer Meeting). Since most of these religions don’t believe in Christ, it is clear this was not a Christian prayer meeting but was a guise to have a globalist political conference. The U.N. believes that religions must be pacified and brought into its fold in order to have world peace. The U.N.’s plan is to synthesize all religions into one, and Rick Warren seems to be the point man to facilitate this. That is why Rick Warren said, “The man of peace can even be a Moslem”. (google: Rick Warren Muslim man of peace)
Rick Warren’s Global Peace Plan is virtually synonomous with the Peace Plans of the U.N. and the New Age Movement. (“Deceived on Purpose” p. 59 Warren Smith)
THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON AND BARAK OBAMA SPOKE AT RICK WARREN’S SADDLE BACK CHURCH. Why? What does having the politicians speaking at his church have anything to do with bringing people to Christ and faith in the Bible? Why would a Christian pastor expose his people to and promote political candidates who openly stand against the Bibles teachings? , i.e: abortion, same sex marriage, etc. (google: Rick Warren I always own up to mistakes). Today it is vogue for politicians to attend “Christian” denominations and claim to be Christians, yet take positions that are diametrically opposed to the Bible and Christ. Furthermore, we have repeatedly been told that the church is supposed to stay out of politics. Where is the separation of church and state here? It appears the church and state are reunifying to gain power. Hillary Clinton’s book, “It takes a Village to Raise a Child”, is a socialistic concept. Her national health plan is SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. Is Rick Warren’s promotion of these politicians just coincidental, or indicative of their common socialistic agenda? Rick Warren himself baptized a homosexual activist. This is defying the Bible. (Google: Rick Warren I always own up to mistakes).
RICK WARREN WAS INVITED TO SPEAK IN NORTH KOREA. (http://www.abpnews.com/) Why would an atheistic, socialist, Communist country that is very hostile to Christianity invite a Christian minister to speak to a large crowd in its country if they didn't have a common socialistic agenda? He says he is just an evangelist trying to get people to heaven, and that he has no political ambitions. (google: Rick Warren I always own up to my mistakes) He might be an evangelist, but not one in a biblical sense. If you follow his trail in Africa, his focus is not winning people to Christ. He is an evangelist trying to bring about social reform and globalism which have the exact same ideals as Marxism. If he can establish Marxism inside the church worldwide, communal life, socialism, communism, will easily takeover the whole world.
HE IS PROMOTING SOCIAL PROGRAMS AND HUMANITARIANISM.In the article on Rick Warren in Time Magazine, August 15, 2005, Rick Warren says they are going to TRANSFORM THE CHURCHES in Rwanda into centers for feeding the poor; distributing medicine, and centers of education. No one is against helping people. We should help when there are natural disasters and famine. The reality is that Africa has the natural resources for the people to support themselves and Africans are smart and resourceful. What is wrong here is using humanitarianism as a carrot to gain political and economic control over the resources of Africa. There is a hidden agenda here. This is neo-colonization. (Read the article: ‘The Race for Africa’ www.lorendavis.com). The problem is that Rick Warren is seeking to transform churches from being spiritual institutions where people find salvation and are taught the Word of God into social institutions. This is a hostile secular takeover of Christ’s church in the name of humanitarinism. Now the church eventually will become a tool of the United Nations and other secular institutions who are adversarial to Christ and the Bible. Rick Warren says he is involved in The Great Commission. Mk. 16:15 is Christ’s Great Commission. What he is doing has nothing to do with Mark 16:15. Instead, he is using the church to promote a global social and political agenda. He has misrepresented and distorted Christ’s Great Commission for winning souls, to try to bring about a pseudo world peace the Bible warned about in Dan. 8:23-25. According to the Bible, this peace movement will usher in The Man of Peace, who will be a world dictator, the Antichrist. THE BIBLE FOREWARNS OF A WORLD GLOBAL SOCIALISTIC GOVERNMENT THAT IS COMING WHICH WILL BE GOVERNED BY A BRUTAL DICTATOR.
THE BIBLE’S PROPHECY OF A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. Rev 13:7-8 “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” KJV *The world is literally going to accept the Antichrist, as the savior, because of his program to bring peace to the world. Dan 8:25 “And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” KJV Rev 12:9 “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth THE WHOLE WORLD:” KJV Rev 13:5 "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast (the Antichrist): and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” KJV
ALL NATIONS ARE BECOMING INTERDEPENDENT ECONOMICALLY FOR SURVIVAL. THE BIBLE’S PROPHECY OF A GLOBAL SOCIALISTIC ECONOMIC SYSTEM IS FOUND IN: Rev 13:17-14:1 “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” (This is a socialistic economic system). Rev 19:20, “with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast,” KJV (http://www.lorendavis.com/ See the article: “Could the Verichip be the Mark of the Beast?”) Technologically things are now positioned to implement the Mark of the Beast for a world socialist government. At the United Nations’ Millinneum Conference in 2000, the U.N. asserted its ambition to be a central world government. They are already have a U.N. army. (google: The U.N. Millinneum Conference 2000) The U.N. is seeking to have the power to tax all nations. Rev 18:23 “…for by thy sorceries were ALL NATIONS deceived.”
THE WHORE CHURCH’S POLITICAL AMBITIONSThe Bible speaks about the Whore Church that presents itself as the bride of Christ but is not, it is an imposter of Christ’s church. It tells of her political involvement with the kings of the earth. Rev 17:1-5 “…I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 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. 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,” “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: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” KJV Rev 17:18-18:1 “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” Rev 18:7-9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,” KJV In light of these scriptures, let’s analyze what Rick Warren is doing. Rick Warren, in the name of Christianity, is making alliances with not only church leaders, but also secular, business and political leaders. Church, business and political leaders all like his teachings because it gives them undisputed authoritarian control. The Fox News network aired twice on Christmas Eve and Christmas day twice 2007, a “Rick Warren Christmas Special’. As far as I have seen it is unprecedented for a secular major news network to give or sell an hour in prime time, or any other time, to a preacher or anyone else. Fox is a news network. This is not the first time Fox News has promoted him. They have given him other one hour specials in the past that have been re-aired many times. Since Fox is a non-Christian network, the question is why are they promoting a “Christian” preacher, Rick Warren? What is Fox’s agenda? What common agenda do Fox and Rick Warren have? For sure Fox’s agenda is not to win the world to Christ. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” Rick Warren comes across smoothly as one who honors Jesus, but when one looks at his teachings and agenda, they are opposite of Christ’s and the Bible. Fox and Rick Warren are an unlikely coalition that has made strange bedfellows. Against all odds, the church, state and business are reuniting. What is their objective? Rick Warren is using an old sales tactic used by some unscrupulous salesmen of “bait and switch”: sell a person one thing, then when it is delivered give him something else. This is exactly what he is doing. He is using Jesus name to sell an agenda that is opposite of the Jesus of the Bible. An article in the Houston Chronicle, December 19, 2007 by Robert D. Novak, says that presidential contender Huckabee was a part of the liberal/secular faction in the Southern Baptist church and was involved in a big fight to take the Southern Baptists away from Bible believing conservatives. Rick Warren is part of this same liberal/secular faction in the Southern Baptist church. He says that he and Huckabee were classmates in graduate school and says Huckabee would make a great president. The Whore Church, secular and political leaders are using each other to advance their own agendas. According to the Bible the political ‘the beast’ will destroy the Whore church after it uses her. Rev. 17. This does not mean that Christians should not have a voice in government. It simply means they shouldn’t be hypocrites. The worst thing anyone could ever do is to use Christ’s name to promote his own personal or political agenda.
RICK WARREN’S HARD SELLPDL, p. 146 “you’ll need to make some TOUGH CHOICES and TAKE SOME RISKS" Tough choices? Freedom or a totalitarian dictatorship? Is that really such a tough choice? Risks? Look at China, Russia, and Nazi Germany. Do we really need any more examples to see the end result of socialistic totalitarian societies? Who is willing to take that risk? It’s a loaded deck. When you have so many examples of how deadly an outcome this philosophy leads to, it is no longer a theory to what where it is going to lead to. The Bible says they are “ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
THERE IS A PATTERNKhruchev of the Soviet Union predicted during the Cold War that they would take America from the inside and bury our grandchildren. For generations, American Universities have been teaching socialism and Marxism and incessantly attacking capitalism, the Bible and Christ. Evolution has been taught as fact; therefore, since we are just animals, immorality has become the rationale in the name of science and reason. Our educational system has taken control over our children from the parents and produced a generation of immoral, socialist atheists. Many who are Christians are Christian in name only. We have become technologically advanced and at the same time become a cesspool of immoral, unhappy people. The universities have been conditioning future leaders to be atheists and Marxist socialists. The TV networks, entertainment industry, and major book stores have put out works that incessantly attack the Bible, Jesus, morality and capitalism. This systematic coordinated strategy has been very effective conditioning the populace. This is a premeditated, long range, thought out plan of Karl Marx that is being implemented today. When the Soviet Union fell, it was pronounced that Communism was dead. It now appears like this was a Trojan horse. If one will look at the economic and military rise of Communist China; Cuba still remaining Communist; a revival of Communism in Russia; socialists now in power in most of western Europe; Marxists have taken Bolivia; socialism is rising in Mexico; Venezuela is moving toward Communism; the U.N. operates by Marxist ideology; and the rise of socialism in Canada and America, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out where this is headed. The globalsts are using Global Warming as a scare tactic to help facilitate this saying if we don’t unite and become one to stop Global Warming, we will all die. Of course we must take care of the environment. (See article: ‘Global Warming Related to Bible Prophecy’ http://www.lorendavis.com/www.lorendavis.com). The pattern is clear to anyone who is knowledgeable; is not naïve; or who is not apart of this global socialistic plan. What looked like the demise of Communism with the fall of the Soviet Union, resurfaced in the U.N. with its ambition of being a socialist one world government. Now Marxism is accomplishing by peace what it never could by war. It appears that Rick Warren is working to remove biblical Christianity as the final obstruction to Marxist socialism and is bringing Christianity into the globalist socialist camp. He has been effective in doing this by doing it in the name of humanitarianism and inclusion, knowing that Christians are compassionate people.
THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE’S MASTER WEB OF DECEITRick Warren has now declared that Fundamentalist Christianity is nearly dead. Fundamentalist Christianity is Bible Christianity which stands for the basic doctrines of Christ, 2 John 9. (May 23, 2005 Rick Warren, The Pew and Religious Forum). He uses fifteen translations or paraphrases in his PDL book. He often says, “The Bible says,” but which Bible? Since these fifteen translations or paraphrases disagree with each other, using all these translations has had the effect of “changing the Bible”, (see the article “Changing the Bible” http://www.lorendavis.com/), and removing the Bible as being the final authority or even being relevant to the Christian Faith. Using all these diverse translations makes the Bible inconsistent and intellectually a farce. By doing this, Rick Warren is neutralizing Christianty and has become as big an enemy of the Bible and Christianity as Karl Marx. He is a player. He knows exactly what he is doing, and so do the big boys who are promoting him. *2 Peter 3:16 “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” KJV PDL, p. 95 Rick Warren, “I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT BUT COUNT ME IN” This statement is referring to his PDL program. We don’t need to understand? Don’t think? Count me in even though I don’t understand? Trust me! Only a person with little or no knowledge of history; has no experience; or one who is very dependant; weak, brainwashed or naive is going to buy that line. Prov 2:11 “Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:” I Jn 4:1 “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”
WE ARE IN GRAVE DANGER OF LOSING OUR FREEDOMWorld domination has been a goal of many totalitarians for centuries. Major industrialists have always financed such lofty ambitions of political leaders for world conquest to increase their own wealth and power. If we don’t wake up, the same merciless purging and enslavement that happened to Nazi Germany, Communist Russia and China will happen to the U.S. and the rest of the world. We are under grave threat of not only losing true biblical Christianity, but also our freedom and liberty which so many have paid such a dear price for. There is a reason Christianity and America have changed. It hasn’t happened just by coincidence.
