Christians Becoming Poster Children for Satan’s Lies
Issue Date: November/December 2014

The wave of doubt in the Word of God is rising to a tsunami. Two lies are the primary sources for this doubt: 1) homosexual orientation is God given, and 2) evolution.

“Christian” proponents of the first lie include Matthew Vines, author of “God and the Gay Christian,” recently released by Convergent Books, and Vicky Beeching, popular CCM singer and social commentator.

Vines discounts the biblical accounts of God’s view of homosexuals by claiming that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed over an attempted gang rape; and that Leviticus 18 is old, outdated law.

Beeching recently “came out” as “gay,” declaring that God’s love would approve her affection for another woman. And she stated her determination to spread the lie: “I feel certain God loves me just the way I am, and I have a huge sense of calling to communicate that to young people.”

Another “Christian” singer has gone public, promoting the other lie, evolution. The false science of evolution presents biblical history as so many myths and legends. Michael Gungor, with his wife, Lisa, form the Christian band, Gungor. Like many who doubt the biblical account of creation, Gungor has bought into “theistic evolution,” the belief that somehow, God used the evolution process to create the world and all of creation. Of course, to do this, the biblical account has to be discarded as just myth and legend.

To Gungor, the Genesis account of creation is simply a poem, one of great intrinsic value, but not to be taken literally. But, as someone asked, “If you don’t believe the first 11 chapters of Genesis, why do you need John 3:16?”

This attempt to shove evolution into God’s narrative of creation demonstrates monumental ignorance of the evidence. Author Vance Ferrell, has compiled nearly 1000 pages of evidence in his book, The Evolution Handbook, confounding the “theory” of evolution.

Lutherans Decided Reformation 'Struggle' Is Over
Issue Date: November/December 2016



lutherstheses.jpg
Lutheran officials are joining Senior Roman Catholics to make October 31, 2017 the end of their Protestant “protesting.” That date marks the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s posting of his “95 Theses” on the door of a Wittenberg church. That event is considered as the beginning of the split from Rome’s counterfeit “church,” that released the true gospel to “all nations.”

In the joint announcement, they claim that: “The awareness is dawning on Lutherans and Catholics that the struggle of the 16th century is over. The reasons for mutually condemning each other’s faith have fallen by the wayside.”

This can only be explained by the descendants of Luther abandoning the Bible. The biblical “reasons” have not changed. That means that either they gave up the Bible or have twisted the meaning —or both.

Those “reasons” included (and still include) worship of a wafer god and the Virgin Mary goddess, and bowing to a pontiff who claims to be Christ’s vice president in charge of all religion on the earth. The indulgences that Luther objected to are still being handed out as get-out-of-purgatory cards. Alternate mediators are still being installed with Mother Teresa being the latest example.

The article announcing this event cites “ecumenism, globalization and the secularization of Western societies” as the cause for this “celebration.” If we understand biblical prophecy, these terms illustrate how we got here and where we are going.

The “secularized” societies have decided they can build heaven on earth without God. Through science and reason they will conquer disease, poverty and even aging and death.

Then, through “ecumenism,” all religions will agree on a common teaching and values supported by common literature including a gutted Bible. Thus “globalization” will unite all economies, political systems, and religions, which they hope to merge into a harmonious “global” community. All “fundamentalists” will be charged with extremism and marked for elimination.

Piece by piece, this utopian fantasy of heaven on earth is being assembled. But the preserved Bible that we have today says that it won’t happen. It speaks of the spirit of anti-Christ that is behind all this humanistic maneuvering. Then, at last, the incarnation of that spirit will emerge as the beast out of the bottomless pit.

But how do we know that? Because we have the KJV, a complete Bible, one with a solid history of God’s promised protection of His word. The creeping confusion of modern Bibles is well along toward producing the gutted one world Bible that will support that one world religion. But the PR campaign against the Classic English King James has almost succeeded in the minds of even the “Protestants.”

So, should Bible believers join the 70 million Lutherans who belong to the Lutheran World Federation in calling for the end of Protestantism? Is there really nothing to “protest” any longer, as Paul Crouch declared several years ago on TBN?

The celebration statement claimed that “belief in Jesus” was enough for unity. But is the Roman wafer Jesus the same as the Biblical Christ? Should we repoint our prayers to the Mary goddess and hundreds of “patron saints”? Shall we give up the assurance of salvation through Christ’s finished work on the cross for a hope-so eventual exit from purgatory?

Sorry, Rome hasn’t changed. These “sheeple” Protestants have abandoned the Biblical Jesus for sweet ecumenical wine. God commands us to come out of this counterfeit, prostitute “church,” to avoid suffering her plagues on judgment day.

The chick.com web site has many books and tracts exposing this winsome whore who drank the blood of all the martyrs in history. See also Rev. 17 and 18.

You know turnorburn, I don't know why you waste your time trying to make the Lutherans or the Roman catholics or TBN/Paul Crouch, the bad guys.

Such a life turns believers into paranoid delusionalists.

Each of us are commanded to turn away from our own indwelling sin, our own evil present, Romans 7:17-21. I think we have our respective hands full with that without bothering to throw other believers under the bus. When it comes to sin we all stand on equal ground. Romans 3:9, Gal. 3:22. Pitiful place to land for all of us, but that is the respective reality we all face.

Do others have issues? Yeah, the same issues we have.

Russia Moving Quickly Against Christians

Issue Date: November/December 2016

This recent letter from a missionary shows how quickly a mission field can close. This missionary is back in the states after many fruitful years on the field. The Russian government recently passed an anti-terrorism law targeting extremists. The Russian Orthodox Church persuaded the government to include evangelical Christians along with the targeted Muslim terrorists. The Orthodox Church is deeply imbedded in the strong Russian nationalism and moved quickly to take advantage of the new law.

Facebook CEO Zuckerberg Trying to Fund Heaven on Earth

Issue Date: November/December 2016

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have just pledged 3 billion dollars to “cure, prevent or manage all diseases” by the end of the century. Chan, a pediatrician, is hoping to spare the pain she sees when she delivers bad news to parents. Few people would argue with this noble goal.

But it is one example of an impossible dream held by so many of the leaders in the “world.” It is a place opposed to God’s plan of salvation, redemption and true abundant life.

The dream sits squarely on the lie of evolution. This generation, baptized in technology, believes that they can speed up evolution by altering DNA and create a super race, freed of disease, aging, poverty and hatred. Robots, bright with artificial intelligence, will be willing servants to bring a utopia of abundance and harmony.

This counterfeit heaven on earth will be funded by the mountainous fortunes amassed by such as Zuckerberg and his techno-cohorts. Sadly, many who claim to believe the Bible are buying into this fantasy instead of discerning the “signs of the [end] times” that describe the increasing chaos until Christ comes to rule in righteousness.

Daniel is told in chapter 12 that “…many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” This certainly describes our freeways and internet. But he was also told that: “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.”

We still see multitudes around the world, coming into Christ’s Kingdom and being “purified, and made white.” But also many are “tried,” with persecution rising in much of the world. Instead of being on the threshold of a new, man-made era of harmony and abundance, those who “do wickedly” will torpedo the dreams of those who refuse to include God in their plans.

America’s prosperity is the direct result of including God and honoring His word. That abundance has financed the spread of the gospel to all nations, just as Christ promised in Matt. 24:14. After that, though, He said that the end would come, not some man-made utopia.

Only righteousness can exalt a nation (Prov. 14:34.) As long as the hearts of sinful men are unchanged, sin will bring reproach: poverty, war, hatred, by those who “do wickedly.” The enemy of men’s souls, the trinity of “world, flesh and the devil” will not permit man to get his dream, no matter how much money they spend.

Daniel was told that the wise will understand. And Solomon declared that “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise” (Prov. 11:30). Never before in history has temptation of the “world” been more subtle for the Bible believer.

Church leaders and future leaders are told that using tracts is old fashioned and doesn’t work. Evangelism must be done through the long process of building a relationship to get permission to share the gospel.

But random sowing of the gospel seed does work. Thousands have written or called Chick Publications, testifying of changed lives from the message in a single tract —or a series of tracts found at random times.

A sample of these testimonies can be seen at www.chick.com/catalog/testimonials.asp. Here is an example:

“In 1989 I was depressed and even suicidal. I was walking the streets of Nashville one night and I happened upon THIS WAS YOUR LIFE! laying on a grease spot in a parking lot. I read it, threw it down and then came back and read it again. In the months that followed I repented and was saved.”
