THE HIPPIE MOVEMENT IS NOT DEAD!
The many organisation that are under the so-called "Green Peace," movement,.....are among the most powerful groups around the world.. If you do some digging, and research into the old "Hippie" movement you will see how they have evolved, not doubt under the tutelage of the Jesuits, into many powerful organisations we see today such as Friends of the earth, The Action Coalition, American Civil Liberties Union [ACLU which to many stands for Anti Christ Lawyer's Union whose founder was a full-blown Communist Party card-carrying member], Green Peace International, Global Recycling Network, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Socialist Party of USA, and many more such organisations are now headed and filled with ex-Hippies, that makes "MOTHER EARTH far more important than human life or prosperity! source: http://www.masters-table.org/warning/ecumenical.htm
Romans 1:25 "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."
Note: the creature here is the created being who by immersing himself into sin became the devil, Satan. The mane means APPOSER!
REV. RICHARD McSORLEY : A Jesuit Priest and a Professor of Peace, at Georgetown University who was a peace activist committed to pacifism and marched with Martin Luther Jr., and was associated with his student, Bill Clinton when he was a student at Georgetown and was later called a "Marxist Priest" by rep. Robert Dornan during the 1992 Presidential campaign, he died on Oct. 17 of heart disease at age 88. See his pix and sign while demonstrating "Should we teach Life and Love OR Death + Hate?" True and great principles but as a Jesuit, if he was told to kill, he must obey!
Not only was he Bill Clinton's professor he also got him to enrol as a Rhodes Scholar, and was the "Spiritual"(?) advisor to the Kennedy clan!

And there in hangs a tale: In the 1960's, and again in the 1990's McSorely's name would be connected to one of the presidents exhibited... Bill Clinton, class of '64... "Students for a democratic Society."

Please note: There are few, if any organizations, nationally or state-wide, that do not have either a Jesuit as the head, or at least under their influence, and this cover all intellectual, corporate, and civic groups, even the World Church Organisation, and a few Bible Publishing companies! Which explains the NIV, {Not Inspired Version}
BAKER'S DICTIONARY OF CHRISTIAN ETHICS, P.461
NIETZSCHE'S NIHILISM: Nihilism is the notion that ethical norms are rationally unjustifiable and a consequent of mood of despair over life's emptiness is the result. "Nietzsche defined the concept as the situation which exists when 'everything is permitted' "
Note: if everything is permitted, and thus no level of morality, remove the Bible and faith in Christ, what's left? No wonder teen suicides are a record numbers, with evolution's we are but animals here by chance, and then you die the end! Why such a hopeless outlook, and thinking all this pain, and not an end of it in sight, end it now, rather than putting up with pain for another 40 -70 years, good bye cruel world, good bye!
How so wrong, but this is where science and modern "Thinking" have placed many a person. today, no hope, in a hopeless world! Because they know not The Father nor His Son! All because they, scientists, can see. feel nor measure either one? Yet they can't honestly come up with any error within the Bible, and thus call us believers in fairy tales? Just as they can't prove evolution either, yet it is their Religion and faith!

Jan van Helsing states the following backtracks were used by the Beatles:
Song: Revolution No.9
Message: "Start smoking marijuana" and, "Turn me on dead man" [= Jesus]
John Lennon in 1962 said to Tony Sheridan in the Hamburger Star club: "I know that the Beatles will be successful such as not other group has been. I know if for sure, because for this success I have sold my soul to Satan."
What was the full cost for this transaction? Gen.2:7 man became a living soul, 1 Corinthians 6:19 " What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" How can we sell that which is not our own?

Remember Woodstock? Make love not war? HEIDEGGER'S 'CARING' .........
God is dead, therefore life's answers lie within the self... "self -esteem" and Christian Psychology", supplies the lack. Heidegger taught that the soul would ten authenticate itself by showing concern for others or "caring".{"Sorge"] is based on ["Dasein"].(to be there) This is the religion of self... the religion of of Antichrist. God being removed, the church sets the standard and educates {coaches] the masses through Christian Psychology, Spiritual Directors, NLP[ Neuro-Linguistic Programing.]. Caring Labs, etc. Until a new "Spiritual formation is achieved."
Note: Have Y O U seen a lot of this caring of late?
Note: this man has not a clue of what the human soul actually is.......,.
Genesis 2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
Note: man became a living soul! Any life form still living and breathing is a living soul , be it a cat, a fish, or a man! When our lest breath is gone, we are no longer a soul, but a corpse! That's Biblical!
STEP 2. CREATE A "NEW MORALITY" ... CHANGE OF DIRECTION--"THE CARING CHURCH" Free Republic.com
Frier Gustavo Gutierrez,[ a Jesuit priest, what else?] We Learn in Catholicism, courtesy of the theologizing of Fr. Gustavo Gutierrez, that the church in Latin America "Must take a clear stand against social injustice and in favor of the revolutionary process."
"and via Leonardo Boff that "The church must be defined in terms of energy, charisma, and the progress of the world..... Richard P. McBrien,* Catholicism, Harper/Collins, NY. New Addition 1994, p 701.
Note: What ever happened to Christ's great commission that He gave all men?
Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"
What ever happened to the Church to be a hospital for sin-sick peoples? Or the place where morality is the beacon? Where we can study together the word of God? why are they a place for revolutionaries, for civil strife? Unless of course if one is a Luciferian, in their worshiping the Social Religion!
* RICHARD P. MCBRIEN: {Who is this man?] Is Crowley- O'Brien Professor of Theology at the University of Notre Dame, and former chairman of its Department of Theology {1980-1991], and past President of thee Catholic Theological Society of America [1973-74], and the 1976 recipients of its John Courtney Murray Award, for distinguished achievement in Theology... Father McBrien has served in the past as an on-air commentator on catholic events for CBS television, and continues to offer regular commentary on all mayor television networks. He is a consultant for ABC News and will serve as a commentator on the next Papal election.. He obtained his Doctorate in Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome in 1967.
This university is exclusively for Jesuits!Remember in his address to the Jesuit council Benedict told them it's their job to change the religious world!
R.P. McBrien: "The mission of the Church is one of service to the people, especially the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized. Although structures of authority are necessary for this mission, those structures are always subordinate to it and are to be judged by their capacity to enable the church to fulfill the mission. Richard P. McBrien , Catholicism, Harper/Collins, NY new edition 1994.. p. 705 quoting Anne Carr in transforming Grace.
NOTE: I take this to mean, that governmental agencies, are judged by this" NEW Religion" to be answerable to the Church. Now are these ideals for the uplifting of the poor, the oppressed and marginalized, not a good thing? Yes of course they are BUT IF THIS IS YOUR "NEW" RELIGION's GOALS, it has not much in common with the worshiping of God and Jesus, nor the Bible! This is the Replacing of faith with human works!
Galatians 2:16 " Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."
Richard P. McBrien, IBID Citing Rosemary Ruether's Woman Church, theology and Practice of Feminist Liturgical Communities.
"From the feminists comes the view of the church as "an exodus community... called to abandon the established social order and its religious agents of sacralization and to witness an alternative social order."
Ibid p. 725. Fr. McBrien labels the above ideas as belonging to the "change-agent" or "servant" model of the church which stresses proclamation and practice of the "Gospel by application of the gospel to the struggle for social justice, peace and human rights,"
"The Church's activities on behalf of social justice or human rights are not merely preparatory to the real mission of the Church, as the notion of "Pre Evangelization' had it before Vatican II... the church's commitment to and involvement in, the struggle for social justice, peace and human rights bis an essential, or "constitutive," part of its mission" ..
Note: This is NOT the gospel according to Jesus Christ!
Matthew 22:36-40 "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
If ALL Churches followed and taught obedience in love for Christ, to all ten Laws, none of this heifer dust of mankind would stand a chance! Why are so many men trying to invent a New BIBLE?
Are YOU dear reader beginning to see all the dangers in this"Religion" of men"?
Does not The Holy Word of God tells us that believers in Christ, are to teach Salvation by faith from Christ? Repentance of our sins, and humbly ask forgiveness? Are we not asked to pray, for the infusion of the Holy Spirit, and be willing to take on the character of Jesus? To look, and place our burdens at the foot of the Cross? To know and obey God's Laws, and accept the Testimony is Christ Jesus, and pray for the wisdom to accept His truths and ask for His help to overcome the world, and thus to be able to stand in that great day, and teach others to do the same?
Are not all the above points not AWOL, within all of this Universalism, the Ecumenism the Little Horn's kings are pushing, for their world domination as seen in all of Revelation 13?
Note: Whom should we obey for our salvation, God or men?
Matthew 6:1 "Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven"
Thoughts from the Mount of Blessings.E.G. White: While they claimed to be very jealous for the honor of the law, self-glory was the real object which they sought; and Christ would make it manifest to them that the lover of self is a transgressor of the law. {MB 79:1]
Note: Both references points out that whatever we do, we must do out of love for Christ and our fellow man, and not for self attention getting or gratification.
Matthew 6:4 "That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly."
Note: If you want to help one in need, do so quietly, without boasting, All that does is glory self, and none has any glory within self!
Isaiah 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness's are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
THE "SPIRITUAL", EXERCISES OF LOYOLA AND HIS JESUITS.
REMEMBER, the Reformers spoke of his as falling upon himself, turning inwards to search for spirituality, by emptying his mind, and focusing on a thought or word. {Also know nature abhors a vacuum, and Satan rushes in to fill the thoughtless minds!}
[The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Translated from the Autograph by father Elder Mullen,S.J.I.H.S. New York, P.J. Kenedy and Sons Printers to the Holy Apostolic See}
"FIRST PRECLUDE." "The First Preclude is a composition, 'seeing the place' . Here it is to be noted that, in a visible contemplation or Meditation...as, for instance, when one contemplates Christ our Lord, Who is visible..[(jb) not since His accession] the composition will be to see with the sight of the imagination the corporeal place where the thing is found which I want to contemplate. I say the corporeal place, as for instance, a temple or a Mountain where Jesus or Our Lady is found, according to what I want to contemplate. In as invisible contemplation or meditation-- as here on Sins-- the composition will be to see with sight of the imagination and consider that my soul is imprisoned in this corruptible body, and all the compound in this valley, as exiled among the brute beasts: I say all the compound of soul and body." CONT:
Note: need a quiet room....need to focus mind on one point, word, or place.... then the need to see and to feel that which your focus becomes reality! How different is this from "Brain-washing" or even self-hypnosis? Remember both Nature abhors a vacuum, but Satan loves them for them he moves right in an occupies you with his demon spirits, who then possesses one! All this so that one can have a one-to one conversation with evil spirits? As in "Tongues"?
CONT: THE CALL OF THE TEMPORAL KING IT HELPS TO CONTEMPLATE THE LIFE OF THE KING ETERNAL: Prayer. Let the Preparatory Prayer be the usual one {(jb) in other words mindless rote, as empty minds, a mantra!]
First Prelude:" is a composition, "seeing the place",: it will be here to see with the sight of imagination, the synagogues, villages and towns through which Christ our Lord preached.
SECOND PRELUDE: is to ask for the grace, which I want:......
FIRST POINT: To put before me a human king chosen by God, our Lord, whom all Christian princes and men reverence and obey. {(jb) reverence none but the Godhead]
Note: Idolatry, placing a earthly king in place of the heavenly King! But to whom other than the Popes, is he possibly referring to?
SECOND POINT: is to look how this king speaks to all his people, saying: It is my will to conquer all the land of unbelievers. Therefore, whoever would like to come with me is to be content to eat as I, and also to drink and dress, etc., as I: Likewise he is to labor like me in the day and watch in the night, ect., that so afterwards he may have a part with me in the victory, as he has had in his labors."
THIRD POINT":to consider what the good subjects aught to answer .." [Note..such a king?]
TO MAKE THE EXERCISES BETTER AND TO FIND BETTER WHAT ONE DESIRES.
TENTH ADDITION: which is Penance This is divided into interior and exterior. The interior is to grieve for one's sins, with the firm purpose of not committing them nor any others. The exterior, or fruit of the first is, chastisement for the sins committed, and is chiefly taken in three ways
FIRST WAY: is to eating. That is to say, when we leave off the superfluous, it is not penance, but temperance. It is penance when we leave off from the suitable; the more and more,, the greater and better---provided that the person does not injure himself, and that no notable illness follows [(jb) starvation diet?]
[(jb) this word Penance is not found in Young' s Literal Translation, nor in KJV nor in the KJ2000 version, nor in DBY Darby's Version or in Wycliffe's version, but only found in Romes Catechism books. As it's a human effort thus works, and salvation by works alone, is not possible!
SECOND WAY: the manner of sleeping. Here too it is not penance to leave of the superfluous of soft and delicate things, but it is penance when one leaves off from the suitable in the manner: and more and more the better...
Note: Stay away from your soft and comfy beds, best sleep on the floor for penance, especially on nails or broken glass, right? Is this not right out of the Paganism of self-purification by flagellation's?
Here we GO!
THIRD WAY: CHASTISE THE FLESH. That is giving sensible pain, which is by wearing haircloth or cords or iron chains next to flesh, by scouring or wounding oneself, and by other kinds of austerity. Note. What appears most suitable and most secure with regard to penance is that the pain should be sensible in the flesh and not enter the bones, so that that it give pain and not illness. For it appears to be more suitable to scourge oneself with thin cords, which give pain exteriorly, rather than in another way which would cause notable illness within.
FIRST NOTE: is that the exterior penances are done chiefly fro three ends: First, as satisfaction for the sins committed.
Second Note: to conquer oneself... that is, to make sensuality obey reason and inferior parts to be more subject to the superior;
THIRD; to seek and find some grace or gift which a person wants and desires;... the person finds himself.
Note: Does not the Bible say that Christ pain in full our debts of sins?
Isaiah 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
Note: By all this "Penance", this self-inflicted pain, are they not all who follow this, are they not in fact and in full reality, saying to Christ, "I do not accept nor believe, that YOU Jesus, have pain my sin price in full, so I must punish myself also?" Is this one reason for their Mass, symbolically Crucifying Christ over and over each time? Again, there no such request for anything such as this within the Word of God, so this is all human ideas! Just how sick can some men get?
The Jesus Christ I know and love DIED FOR ME AND MY SINS, but I know naught of their Christ! Yet there's more!
FORTH RULE: to praise much the Religious Orders, Virginity and continence, and not so much marriage as any of these.
FIFTH RULE: praise vows of religion,of obedience, of poverty, of chastity and other perfections of supererogation..
SIXTH RULE: TO PRAISE RELICS OF THE SAINTS. giving veneration to them and praying to the Saints; and to praise stations, pilgrimages, indulgences, pardons, Cruzadas, and candles lighted in the church.
Note: praying to the dead, veneration of the dead and or their body parts, is totally of Pagan origins.
SEVENTH RULE: TO PRAISE CONSTITUTIONS about fasts, and abstinence, as of Lent, Ember Days, Vigils,[a vigil the day and evening before a fesitival] and Friday and Saturday; likewise penances, not only interior but also exterior.
EIGHTH RULE: To praise the ornaments and the buildings of churches; likewise images, and to venerate them according to what they represent.
Note: What do Y O U dear reader consider idolatry? The Bible says bow not down to images of wood or stone or metals, that meas do not venerate things!
If you think this is over 400 years old and by now all done away with just keep on reading my friend!

[The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatious of Loyola Translated from the Autograph by Father Elder Mullan, S.J. I.H.S. New York P.J. Kenedy & Sons, Printers to the Holy Apostolic See]
TO HAVE THE TRUE SENTIMENT WHICH WE OUGHT TO HAVE IN THE CHURCH MILITANT LET THE FOLLOWING RULES BE OBSERVED.
FIRST RULE: The first: All judgement lai aside, we ought to have our mind ready and prompt to obey, in all, the true Spouse of Christ our Lord, which is our Holy Mother the Church Hierarchical.
THIRTEENTH RULE: to be right in everything, we ought always to hold that thew white which I see, is black, if the Hierarchical Church so decides it, believing that between Christ our Lord, the Bridegroom, and the Church, His bride, there is the same Spirit which governs and directs us for the salvation of our souls, Because by the same Spirit and our Lord Who gave the Ten Commandments, our Holy Mother the Church is directed and governed. Ibid.
[Secret History of the Jesuits, P.26}
THEY WERE TO OBEY AS A "PERINDE AC CADAVER" as a corpse. Loyola wrote, "Even if God gave you an animal without sense as a master, you will not hesitate to obey him, as master and guide, because God ordained it to be so," The "Constitutions" repeat five hundred times that one must see Christ in the person of the General."
Note: All leaders of the Jesuits, have been named as "General" , "because God ordained it so.."
Please know, that it was via the Popes, that is Jesuit army was set up, or ORDAINED BY THEIR GOD!
The SPIRITUAL EXERCISES in today's world as expounded in National Jesuit News.
The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola: BELONG to the church. On their own, they involve lay and Jesuit colleagues in fruitful ways. They create spiritual conversation and community, which Americans year for. They help religious women offer woman's gifts to the church in the world, and help the laity to find their own gifts. confirmed by prayer. They offer an assured way to find God working in all things and a feasible project of living contemplative in action. Just Christians in the marketplace. Source:
http://www. faculty.edu/jmac/se/se.htm. CONT:
Another name for this "journey within the mind", is CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYERS.
IBID: Ignatius of Loyola created and conducted this apostolate for 15 years before he was ordained. through it, everyone knows, he drew scores of men int the Company of Jesus It surprises no one who knows the history of Spiritual Exercises are proving an astonishingly effective instrument of lay spirituality even in post modern era.They are being used for and by and with lay people in many formats all around the the world and then supply the basis of sophisticated pritirtualities for the market place. It is safe to say that more people are going through the one-on-one directed exercises today than at anytime in history. It is safe to say something more: SPIRITUAL EXERCISES ARE BEING USED AS AN APOSTOLIC INSTRUMENT BY BETTER-EDUCATED LAITY.

Jude 1:9 "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee."

Joseph Tetlow S.L.
Joseph Tetlow, S.L. writes, "Philosophy continues at thew heart of of the Jesuit liberal art curriculum...Because more than any other discipline it can provoke the intellectual conversion of the conventional thinker to principled reflection"
Webster's New World Dictionary says this about Philosophy:
phi.lo.sophe philos -loving; + sop[hos- wise. a Philosopher; in English contexts often a somewhat derogatory term suggesting pretension. NOTE: is pretension not a form of deception?
Matthew 24:3-4 "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you."
THE ALPHA-COURSE and CELL- GROUP PHILOSOPHY NICKY GUMBEL FOUNDER.
1. There's nothing wrong with small group gatherings, for study., from the Bible, that's a God given gift.
2. But this small group not gathering to study the Bible on the contrary just see at www.alphausa.com (.org?)
WHAT IS ALPHA?
"The Alpha course is 10 week practical introduction to Christian Faith. It gives people an opportunity to explore big life questions. Questions like: Is there any point to life?, And what happens when I die? Alpha guests learn how Christianity answers these questions as they gather together to share meals, hear talks and discuss their thoughts."
" The Alpha course is for everyone. It sparks faith in people outside the church. It kindles the faith of new Christians, and it fuels the commitment of longtime Christians."
Alpha guests explore Christianity by participating in fifteen sessions that take place in a relaxed, welcoming and engaging atmosphere. each session explores a particular question.
1. Is there more to life than this? 2. Who is Jesus? 3. Why did Jesus die? 4. How can I be sure of my faith? 5. Why and how should I pray? 6. Why and how should I read the Bible? 7. How does God guide me? 9. Why and how should we tell others? 10. Does God heal today? 11. What about the Church?
12. Who is the Holy Spirit? 13. What does the Holy Spirit do? 14. How can I be filled with the Spirit?
15. How can I make the Most of the Rest of My Life?
Note: If the Bible is in fact the foundation for the answers to the above questions, and its divided properly as it is mean to in Isiah 10:9-10 then no problems right? YET there is a HUGE problem just read on.....
THE POWER OF ALPHA. [WWW.ALPHAUSA.CHICAGO.org]
By Rebbecca Barnes reprinted with permission from Outreach Magazine.
"Since coming to the United States in 1996-- the sam3e year the Bishop of London appointed Gumbel Alpha chaplain-- Alpha has grown exponentially. The number of U.S. churches hosting the course has increased from 200 the first year to more than 7,500 in 2005. Alpha USA [alphausa,org] now offers dozens of training conferences throughout the country each year, and has 15 offices from coast to coast. In May 2004, former Vineyard USA National Director Todd Hunter joined AlphaUSA as its president, Excited about the marriage of spiritual formation and evangelism that Alpha brings, he says on his blog {www.toddhunter.org]. He call the Alpha course, "the most holistic approach to evangelizing available in local Churches.
Outreach Magazine 11/29/2005.
Now lets see what all this is really all about, shall we?
Nicky Gumbel, says "That the differences between Protestants and Catholics are : "totally insignificant compared to the things that unite us.. we need to UNITE around the death of Jesus, the resurrection of Jesus; the absolute essential things at the core of Christian faith on which we all agreed. We need to give people liberty to disagree on things which are secondary." [session 13 White Aplha training manual pp. 63-68, Video Talk 14.]
"we make it a rule on Aplha never to criticize another denomination, another Christian church or a Christian leader" [Telling Others, p. 114]
NOTE: 2 Timothy 3:7-8 "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith."
Jannes and Jambres were the two "Magicians" who faced Moses an Aaron, whose Staffs Satan changed into serpents!Exodus 7:9-12.
Matthew 7:15 " Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Note: I'll not draw the same distinction, for when error is introduced in place of God's Word, I'll shout this from the highest roof tops. By using the Bible as my source!
To quote this deceiver Nicky Gumbel, "That the differences between Protestants ans Catholics are totally insignificant" Well IF YOU THINK THAT THE EXACT DATE OF YOUR BIRTH IS OF NO MATTER, OR THE DATE OF YOUR WEDDING IS OF NO IMPORTANCE, THEN GOD'S DAY OF WORSHIP IS ALSO OF NO IMPORTANCE TO GOD AND TO OUR CREATOR Then by all means join Rome in her Sunday worship on the Venerable day of the sun god! But if you wish to please your heavenly father use the day He chose in Gen 2:1-13 and Exodus 20 7-11 and Mark 16:1-4 and Luke 23:52-56 and 24:1-3, which shows anyone who can read the exact day for the Sabbath, on the 7th day of the week, just look at your calendar!
This is just one point of 1,000's of errors Rome has perpetuated!
This Alpha stuff, is taken word for word right out of the Vatican II Session!
Saint Catherine's Catholic Church Sentinel May 21 1995 1106 St. Clair Blvd. Algonac, Michigan 48001.
:perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century, {note actually it was A.D.321 by a decree from Constantine} The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. {decree: All shops shall be open for 6 days but shall close on the Venerable day of the Sun for a feast day} Sunday "The day of the Lord" [Dies Dominica} was chosen, not from any direction noted in the scriptures, but from the churches sense of its own power. The day of the resurrection, the day of the Pentecost, fifty days latter, came on the first day of the week. So this would be the new Sabbath. People who think the scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become 7th Day Adventist, and keep Saturday holy."
Perhaps the best proof lies in their own Book the Converts Catechism of Catholic Doctrine and compare that to any Bible including their own, the Douay Bible. But keep on reading......
Catholic Bishop Ambrose Griffiths, comments: Alpha for being a "Powerful evangelistic tool... it doesn't contain anything that is contrary to Catholic doctrine."[ Alpha News July 1997. P1.] Mr. Gumbel has met the Pope i n Feb.2004.
Mr. Gumbel has admitted that the sections in Questions of Life about Baptism and holy communion were carefully scripted to enable them to be used by Roman Catholics and Evangelists alike!

Note: This means of course that they no longer find a fit nor harmony in the word of God! Thus they want us to follow the error ridden words of men!
WHAT'S SO WRONG ABOUT THIS COURSE?
IN THE ALPHA COURSE: "The Holy Spirit is mediated through the hands of the leaders and through the "slain in the spirit" experiences.
Alpha makes the reception of the Holy Spirit and outward manifestations the marks of faith; the published testimonies that come out of ALPHA NEWS nearly always concentrate on the Holy Spirit experience as the central aspect of conversion, rather that the Bible's emphasis: repentance from sins, faith in the crucified and risen Lord, with the infilling of the holy Spirit following the. {Acts 2:38] This is a REVERSAL OF THE BIBLICAL MODEL. [Caps are mine (jb)]
Acts 2:38 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
Note: Is this not par for the course of Rome? Take the Bible's point and do the opposite? Yet read on....
John 16:13-14 " Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you."
Note: The sole aim of the Holy Spirit, from God, is to glorify Jesus, by teaching us about Him!
CELL GROUPS: Like the Alpha course, cell groups also fall under a coach or a Spiritual director.. they are designed to bring people to consensus theology, celebration liturgy {non religious functions within the church] and then to sacrificing of individual norms to group norms and dynamics using peer pressure.
Note: this is becoming more and more like Ron L. Hubbert's invention, Scientology, is it not?
The Following quotes are from the Training Manual for running effective cell groups:
"Leirskakskool- 1-3, Jesus Die Lewende Woord, LW Media." "Leadership School 1-3, Jesus the Living Word."
" A cell group has a host, a leader, a Timothy and participants."
"A cell group caters for pastoral care, individual needs and has a specific structure, and duration. It forms the bridge between people and the church. every group member is evangelized, consolidated, and built up as a disciple and sent. Duration of a session is 1 hour and starts with an introduction, Praise and prayer,, subject, application and final activities. Deviation from this format is not permitted..
also member are not permitted to change cell groups and murmuring and criticism is not permitted. Unity of thoughts, feelings and commitment are sought. " the disciples in the cell vision cannot operate independently of their leader unity is the symbol of maturity."
Note: sure sound like a cult, and group think! Not at all like God.....
Isaiah 1:18 " Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
Does this get you thinking about our Bible studies, where the Bible questions are asked and by the bible answers are given? Yea I know, Bill,is great fellow, but his word will not give anyone salvation, right? Besides all this points smack towards Consciences Theology! I want God's word not the words decided by a bunch of men, who can't save even themselves!
MODELS FOR SUCCESS Declare that success is yours [power of positive thinking] Persevere, dream, and visualize.
"Obedience and respect for leadership is essential. The leader will seek council of his or her trained superiors in the church and the trust of his or her disciples. Moreover, the disciples must be encouraged to confide in the leader regarding their problems.
Note: This reminds me of " Father Confessor"-- Confessional Booths, how about you? Did you know that disobeying the Pope is heresy and punishable by death? AS for the power of Positive thinking, one can think they are very sincere, but are sincerely wrong, Biblically, and what other than the Bible do we have for instructions? Not a thing! Remember Loyola said, "Even if your leader is a dog, you will obey him unquestionably!" Please remember this comes from the "Handbook to Protestant churches" for the Alpha training!
THE TWELVE AROUND ONE MODEL: " JESUS TOOK 3.5 YEARS TO TRAIN 12 ANS SO CELL GROUPS USE THE 12 AROUND ONE CONCEPT." [well at lest they followed the Bible on this point!]
"Jesus did not chose 13 but 12, ..With teams of 12 we commence to restore the alter of God, in the world."
"The secret is in the 12, "The model of 12 has always bee in god's heart and the number symbolizes government and authority
Note: Governmental Perfection, mankind will not experience this until after Christ's second Advent! But is this not numberism? IF there are 12 around one who does the One become symbolic of but Christ?
[leierskool 2 lesings, Jesus die Lewende Woord, Docktrine Opleidingsgids, sessie 1. lesing 9]
]leadership school, 2nd lesson, "Jesus the Living word", Doctrine, p.9 (?) The above is German, and as a Hollander, I've not used the Dutch tongue in over 40 years so if this is translated wrong please correct me JB..www.servant@frontier.com.
"Government of 123 definition" A revolutionary leadership model that consists of the leader who chooses 12 people so that his or her character ans authority can be reproduced in them to that the vision of the church can be developed!"
NOTE: So if anyone finds themselves in such a grouping, none shall ever be able to rise above their leader! May God forbid that anyone person sets such a low goal for themselves, because the Bible urges us to be as Christ in our character!
THE ROSICRUCIAN FELLOWSHIP.
HTTP://WWW.ROSICRUCIAN.COM/rOSICRUCIANPATH/ENLAORDENROSACRUZ,HTML.
Like all other Mystery Orders, the Oder of Rosicrucian's is formed on cosmic lines: if we take balls of even size, and try how many it takes to cover one and hide it from view, we shall find that it will require 12 to conceal a 13th ball. The ultimate division of physical matter, the true atom, is found in planetary space, is thus grouped in twelve around one. The 12 semi-tones of the musical scale comprising the octave, the twelve Apostles who clustered around Christ, etc,. are other examples of this grouping of 12 and 1. The Rosicrucian Order is therefore also composed of 12 Brothers and a 13th.
Satan wants to be as The Most High, Jesus had His 12, and the 12 Tribes, and Jesus was and is the centrality of both the Old and the New Testaments, and Satan's so jealous that he could bite rail-road spikes into bits! But Scriptures do not require 12 around one, in fact...
Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
Note: we have no need to use Occult numerology!
IBID Leirskool 2nd Lesson lesing 9; In the section on "Intercession" we read: Intercession is necessary to:
Confirm the team of 12 To satisfy the needs of the group of 12. To enjoy protection from evil. To attain Sanctification. { Avail only from faith in Christ] To build and maintain like mindedness {Group think} And to raise up the disciples to the same level of servitude as their mentors.
Note: Same level of servitude as their mentors? Wow, they don't ask for anyone to aim higher than mankind? Are we not Biblically told, to inspire to be as the character of Christ, and not man? Of course Christ is totally left out from this formula, right?
Ibid Leirskool: A mentor is described as someone: "With a Priestly commission, who is merciful and sympathetic and approved, holy. "
No human can be holy, as all are carnal.This is directly from the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, that have nothing to do , nor in common with the Holy Spirit.
Texts quoted include passages from the gospel of John and the Book of Hebrews which refer to Jesus ans the ministry of the high priest that typified the ministry of Jesus.
Ibid Leirskool: "Midst many positive aspects, great emphasis is laid on fasting, the gifts of the Spirit such as the gift of healing, prophecy, power and miracles, tongues (but excluding the function of the Holy Spirit in conviction of sin, righteousness and judgement). The student is also informed that "Paul spent most of his time praying on strange (foreign) tongues" 1 Cor. 14:18 Quoted.
1 Corinthians 14:18 "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: "
Paul was by birth a Roman citizen, thus spoke that tongue, as well as Greek and the Hebrew tongues.. But this is not the Gibberish we hear from the Evangelicals, and Catholics of today!
MARTIN LUTHER wrote the first step is to repent.
"The true way to Christianity is this, that man do first acknowledge himself, by the law, to be a sinner, and that it is impossible for him to do any good work. For the law saith, "Thou are an evil tree, and therefore all that thou thinkest, speakest, or doest, is against God.{Matt. 7:17.) "For whatever is not of faith is sin"... When a man is thus taught and instructed by the law, then he is terrified and humbled, then he seeth indeed the greatness of sin, and cannot find in himself one spark of the love of God in His Word, and confesseth that he is guilty of death and eternal damnation. The first part then of Christianity is the preaching of repentance and the knowledge of ourselves."
[Luther, Commentary on Galatians 4:16. pp. 128-132.]
NOTE: The Above by Luther is the exact opposite of the Alpha Course! But then that were Satan resides in opposition to Christ, and all HE stands for, right? So if by 2004 this has been taught, [ and hopefully rejected] by some 7,500 churches, how many have been subjected to this so far today?
Remember it is EISOGESIS and not EXEGESIS : Eisogesis is us asking what is the Bible and God telling us? Exogenous is men telling us, what God is telling us! As I (jb) say "Ask what is the Bible trying to teach me? Never say this is what the Bible means! Yet always with prayers asking for the wisdom to understand what HE wants us ti understand!"
It is this EXO stuff that's given us these "NEW Translations" which are but what a some group of theologians think they understand!
There are those who want to make God's Word far more complicated than it is, so as to male themselves look importantly wise. However.....rather then their "Predigesting the Word", lets learn if for self via prayer.
2 Corinthians 11:3 " But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."
SPIRITUAL EXERCISES VS FAITH: Eisogesis VS. Exogesis.
Eisogesis is[MAN/MEN] reading into the word and Exogesis is extracting from the word what God has put there!
[H. Boehmer, professor at the University of Bonn, Les Jesuits. Armand Colin, Paris, 1910,PP. 15,34. 35 Quoted in Edmond Paris, the Secret History of the Jesuits, trans, from French, 1975 Chino, CA.]
"Ignatius understood more than any other leader of men who preceded him that the best way to raise a man to a certain ideal is to become master of his imagination. We "imbue into him spiritual forces which he would find very difficult to eliminate later"., forces more lasting that all the best principle and doctrines; these forces can come up again to the surface, sometimes after years of not even mentioning them, and become so imperative that the will finds itself unable to appose any obstacle, and has to follow their irresistible impulse."
Note: Is this not at best deep hypnosis, or at worse Satanic Possession?
From: "The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, translated by Anthony Mattalin , Ph..D., Introduction by Robert Glenson, S.J. . New York , Doubleday. 1964
"Ignatius was deeply influenced by the "Golden Legend" which he read. "He was especially attracted by the extraordinary feats of penance by the Egyptian monks of the desert, whose lives and deeds were recounted in the golden Legend."
Note: by self flagellation's, and chanting they entered into an alternate state of being, thus in a trance.
"The basis for Spiritual exercises is pictorial imaginations in which one brings ever sense under the impact of the imagination. In an exercise called "Composition" {seeing the place} the imagination is clothed with a visible form, the object if "fixed" and imagination becomes reality. today we call this exercise visualization and it is practiced form of primary to tertiary education levels and forms the basis of most religious experiences in the world today."
Note: This is even used in the schools of the western world today, and all under the tutelage of the Jesuits!
The aim, to destroy human morality!
Ibid: Ignatius:
The Jesuit retreats last normally 4 weeks. They are run by a retreat master [Guide , coach]
"Only the director who has grasped the mind and heart of Ignatian Spirituality, which is distinguished service of Christ, can fulfil his task of adapting the exercises to the precise needs of the individual or group to whom he is speaking.... An experienced retreat master who knows the exercises well, will make numerous little adjustments in his approaches to the meditation to fit the education, temperament, role in life, age bracket and interests of his audience."
.
EX NEW AGE PRIEST, WILL BARON WRITES: "This ritual is very deceptive. The average Christian would probably find nothing seriously objectionable about the phrases used. Yet this meditation procedure was the product of Satan, designed to lead people into accepting the voice of masquerading demons as being the voice of the Holy Spirit!"
Source: Will Baron, "Deceived by the New Age: The story of a New sage Priest. Boise. Id. Pacific Press, 1990, p. 203.
{This WAS Billy Graham's Magazine}The Protestant Christianity today advocates Spiritual Directors.
"Spiritual Direction is one of the Classical Christian disciplines", that people from a wide variety of Protestant, catholic, and Orthodox backgrounds are examining and recommending answers."....
"Spiritual direction as practiced today... Especially in the Roman Catholic church... owes its greatest debt to the founder of the Society of Jesus [the Jesuits] Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556).....
The article continues and states that Loyola's retreats focused on sin and its consequences, in the lives of the participants, the life of Christ, and guide lines to deal with the temptations of the devil, the Passion and the resurrection, .These same basic guidelines are used in organization such as Promise Keepers.
Source: Christ Armstrong and Steven Gertz, "Christian History Corner: Got Your Spiritual Director Yet", Christianity Today, April 28, 2003.
NOTE: All who are pushing this garbage, know from whence it came and who is its source, yet they still push it! Speaking of selling one's soul to the devil for treasure on earth, yet to be cast with Satan in the Lake of Fire! How short-sighted is this? Yet can you see the madness in this? By their ,"SO CALLED" teaching you how to avoid the temptations of the devil, they are in fact leading you into his clutches!
Micah 7:5-7 "Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me."
Martin Luther wrote: "The Spirit is nowhere more present and alive than in His own scared writings.. We must let the Scriptures have the chief place and be its own truest simplest and clearest interpreter... I want Scripture alone to rule, and not to be interpreted according to my spirit or that of any other ,man, but to be understood in its own light [ per selsam] and according to its own Spirit."
Philip S. Watson Ibid. {Books for the Ages, Ages Software, Albany, Or. 1997] (its still up 2015.)
NOTE: This is a relationship Y O U have with Jesus, and HIM alone, not any family member has the right to intrude, but sadly many do, based upon their belief system. Read Micah above again!
(UL) Upward Look: "Let all be educated to search the Scriptures, to be constantly looking unto Jesus, and not to human agents, to be their guides. The Word of God is to be the man of our counsel. That word is Infinite, Obeyed. It will guide us into safe and sure paths. But the word diluted with human devices and imaginings is not a safe guide. {UL.. 171.2}
Exodus 23:1-2 "Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:"
God wants to do something for each one of us. This work is an individual work, a personal work. Students, do not depend on your teachers to form your character. for Christ's sake make your characters individually. Take hold of God , and do not think that you have to be always with your teachers in order to be solid workers. We are to represent God to the world, to show what truth has done for us on this ground. We want to see the moving of the Holy Spirit. You will remember that the Spirit so worked in the schools of the prophets that when Saul, when hunting for David, came in connection with one of these schools, the Spirit came upon him, and he prophesied. But we need something more lasting that Saul had. take hold of God. you have little enough time in which to form characters fit for the future immortal life {AURC, July 28, 1899.par.12.]
Regarding Luther, we read in the Great Controversy:
"The influence of this this one man, who dared to think and act for himself in religious matters, was to affect the church and world, not only in his time, but in all future generations. His firmness and fidelity would strengthen all, to the close of time, who should pass through a similar experience. The power and majesty of God stood forth above the counsel of men, above the mighty power of Satan."
[GC. 166.4]
Note: It's wise to seek the counsel of learned people, BUT never allow anyone to DICTATE what you must believe!Tell them to prove it within the word of God! If they can't well thank them and walk away! Confess your sins to Christ Jesus, and if you've hurt someone, confess to that one and say I am truly sorry please forgive me.
Matthew 23:8-10 "But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ."
Note: "master"... kathe'ge'te's-- kath-ayg--ay -tace- a guide, a teacher-figuratively- master.
That does not mean I will not study with or read what they have written, but I shall always compare this to Scripture to see if it is so!
[MS71, 1897]
By these words Christ meant that no man is to place his spiritual interest under another as a child is guided and directed by his earthly father. This has encouraged a spirit to desire Ecclesiastical superiority, which has always resulted in the injury of men who have been trusted, and addressed as "Father", It confuses the sense of sacredness of the prerogatives of God.
{COL. Christ's Object Lessons 79.1 ] "As in earlier ages, the special truths for this time are found, not with the ecclesiastical authorities, but with the men and woman who are not too learned or too wise to believe the word of God."
Note: There is much truth in that passage, as most highly educated people around the world scoff at the faith and belief of and for God! They are just too smart for this, right? However that's akin to an ant telling the elephant to get out of the way or be run over!
If this gives you question, just look up a bunch of theologians and see all their ideas on the simple baptism, a never-ending lot of differences!
Psalms 32:8-9 "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee."
Isaiah 48:17 "Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go."
Note: The gospel is NOT about things, magic formulas or secret messages, nor "chastizements' to receive greater light, BUT IT IS all about Personal Relationships with Christ! As He is the "Son" of God, and we are ALL children of God, that make Jesus our Brother, and friend! He wants us to respect and treat Him as such! What did God institute on this earth as the living example of this relationship? Marriage, marriage between one man and one woman! But of course we humans think that we can improve upon this right? Then as now!
Note: Never allow another to tell you you must "See" or you must "Feel" the Holy Spirit, remember the Kingdom comes not by observation! Yet looking back most believers will see God's hands in lives as He directs them to our betterment!
As a reminder: "Nerver take the words of man/men for the word of god, learn that for self!"
