"Alas for the day! for
the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the
Almighty shall it come. Is not the meat cut off before our eyes,
yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God? The seed is
rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the
barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. How do the beasts
groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no
pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. O LORD,
to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of
the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the
field. The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers
of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures
of the wilderness.
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion,
and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants
of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is
nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds
and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains:
a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like,
neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many
generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a
flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them,
and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall
escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses;
and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots
on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a
flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people
set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much
pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
They shall run like mighty
men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall
march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in
his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be
wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run
upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall
enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth shall quake before
them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be
dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
And the LORD shall utter his
voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is
strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great
and very terrible; and who can abide it? Therefore also now,
saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with
fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:" Joel
1:15-20 2:1-12 kjv |

- We believe every word in the KJV Bible and believe it is
the Word of God and that Jesus is the Christ, God Himself, who
spilled His blood on the cross for our sins and rose again to
prepare a place for those who repent and accept 'His' righteousness
as their righteousness. They are those who accept Jesus Christ
as their Lord and Savior, Jews first and then Gentiles. "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any
man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him,
and will sup with him, and he with me." We
invite you to take this opportunity to say 'yes' to Jesus and
commit your life to Him only by clicking on this link: Salvation

God said unto him, "Thou fool,

- MORE GREETINGS to all and the newcomers to this list. We'd
like to introduce ourselves. George and Rita Williams founded
this ministry. We were Mormons (Temple Mormons) for 20 years.
We prayed to God in 1992 to allow us to do a ministry speaking
out against Scientology. Six months later God led us to the truth:
out of the cult of Mormonism. We did not know at the time we
were in a cult. No-one had witnessed to us in 20 years.
- The Holy Spirit brought us to information about all the cults
and the present development of the New World Order. We began
bringing our research to you. Because all the research was already
done, we decided to build a library within Cephas Ministry. Our
newsletters are not designed to provoke
anger which is strictly prohibited in Scripture. It is to shed
light on activities by those who would deceive those who are
recorded in the Book of Life by devious methods and systematic
plans.
- We are Bible students and have left all worldly organizations.
We attend church if the message is from the authorized KJV Bible.
The focus of these newsletters is to prove why we had to leave
the world system. We are called 'Watchmen on the Wall' which
God always had during the Old / New Testament Times.
- To understand what is happening, one has to know the Bible
to compare notes.
- The first section is about the church.
The news about churches is unedited unless indicated by Ednotes.
The church as we knew it, is undergoing disintegration. This
began on a fast track in the early nineteen sixties when the
Catholic Church produced liberal Vatican II to replace Vatican
I.
- The trend since then has been ecumenical which is truly what
the word 'Catholicism' means: a universal religion all
inclusive and multicultural. The Bible calls for a final church
and today's church doesn't resemble what Jesus taught. The Word
of God has undergone many changes to fit the progressive modes.
Many new Bible tranlations have brought confusion. The Bible
calls for a falling away from the truth before
Jesus comes back for His Bride. The true believers are called
'Ekklesia.' Our newsletters prove this fact and prove that the
Bible is true from beginning to end.
- The second section is about globalism
where we bring your attention to the social, political and global
trend, the so called democratizing what is left of the world.
This is a deception since the underlying new world global government
is developed by implementing sustainable development. The
Bible prophesies that there will be ten kings (ten horns), each
king (horn) will receive a region of the world as a reward for
work well done for the Antichrist. This is the reason for the
present development of NAU (The North American Union) as well
as the war in the Middle East. It again proves that we are moving
to closure of the times of the Gentiles prophesied in the Bible.
The end result will not be Democracy but a form of Fascist Communism
(Public/Private Corporations enslaving mankind).
- The third section compliments End Time
teachings because Israel is the time piece of the Biblical Prophecy.
1948 was the beginning of the figtree representing Israel, coming
back to life. Israel was allowed to return to its land. Israel
is the rock upon which the world stumbles and crumbles. We watch
and visit Israel for signs which point to the Tribulation to
confirm that we are moving into that space of time.
- Watchmen on the wall do not solicit memberships. We have
an email group that gets information when we upload new information
and newsletters whenever it is possible time wise. We love the
Lord with all our hearts and minds and we love all people God
has created but especially those who love our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. Our Mission and Statement of Faith are at http://www.cephasministry.com/statement_of_faith.html

- We trust that
our readers will not be discouraged. It is God’s
will that we know the times (1 Ch. 12:32; Mat. 16:3) and that we be as wise as serpents
and harmless as doves.
- The Cephas
Newsletter reminds us that the hour is very late, and we need
to be ready for the Lord’s coming. Are you sure that
you are born again? Are you living for Christ?
-
- "And
that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out
of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore
cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the
armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not
in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness,
not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof"
(Rom.
13:11-14).

- THE STRAIT GATE TO THE HOLY CITY
The church world has forgot that the Royal Road to the Holy City
is strait and narrow. There is a multitude of religious people
that go to church, talk religion and even read the Bible but
they have never been totally transformed by being “Born
Again.” It is easy to be religious but never become an “On
Fire Christian.” Jesus Christ was so concerned about this
truth that He often warned His disciples. Listen to the Son of
God say it straight so that no one would have an excuse. “Enter
ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is
the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which
go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the
way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
(Matthew 7: 13-14) While Apostle Paul wrote powerfully about
the “Grace of God” and freedom from the “Law of
Bondage,” Apostle James wrote about the New Life and the
“Law of Liberty.” The church is not a “Lawless
Institution,” but a divine company of saints delivered from
bondage. We are free, but not free to do as we please but free
to do as we should. The power of sin is broken and we can enjoy
the: “Law of Liberty.” It is wonderful to be delivered
from bondage to sin and the law of bondage and to be free to
live in righteousness and holiness.

- ABSOLUTE ASSURANCE OF ETERNAL LIFE
I WEPT THIS MORNING FOR EVERY PERSON THAT WOULD HEAR THIS BROADCAST!
THE HOUR IS LATE. Every person listening to me can know without
a shadow of a doubt that you are ready to meet God. This is the
one area of your life that you must not take a chance. From the
previous broadcast there can be no doubt, there is an Eternal
Hell. “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation
21:8) The testimonies of many people have been recorded of dreams,
visions and experiences where hell became real. The Bible is
a perfect Book and it proves over and over that hell is a place
of eternal torments. The standard of God in righteousness and
holiness is so perfect that only Christ’s Blood can cleanse
you and make you ready. Let’s talk about the questions and
remarks that have been recorded over the last few broadcasts.
These questions are important and you are important to me. I
do not want any one to feel that you are not equal to every other
caller. The Bible is an invitation to “whosoever will”
to come to Jesus Christ according to the Holy Bible. If Eternal
Life is a genuine truth then eternal separation in the Lake of
Fire is also a genuine truth. God created man in His Own Image
and Likeness which makes an eternal existence unquestionable.
Get yourself an infallible Bible and the only Bible that anyone
claims to be infallible is the King James Version. Even if you
are determined to keep your other version, at least take a period
of time for “eternity’s sake” to read this infallible
version. And when he had called the people unto him with his
disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after
me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever
will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” (Mark 8:34-35)
It does not matter what you think of me. Do not take your eternal
existence lightly. Eternity is a long time.http://www.pawcreek.org/open-bible-dialog/absolute-assurance-of-eternal-life

- JESUS CHRIST: THE SINLESS SACRIFICE
The Eternal Son of God is that ”Holy One of God,” born
of a virgin and conceived by the Holy Ghost. He became fully
human and fully flesh, but was sanctified by the act of the Sovereign
Spirit of God. He was conceived in Mary’s womb by a miracle
of God’s Supernatural action, therefore, without the sin
nature. He was the second Adam who came to redeem men from the
fall of the first Adam. The first Adam was created without sin,
but disobeyed the commandment of God and became the means of
infecting the whole race of men. Jesus Christ was the eternal
Word or Logos who tabernacled in the flesh, but did not share
Adam’s nature. He was tempted or proved, but rejected the
offers of Lucifer, therefore, remaining without any expression
or inclination of sin in body, soul or spirit. Continued:

- NINE POWERFUL REASONS
- THIS COULD CONVINCE THE GREATEST DOUBTERS! THE CLIMATE OF

clear Biblical principles for a “CATCHING AWAY” to
occur and then, and only then, to open the door for Satan to
be cast down to the earth. Satan will be free when Christ’s
Bride is removed to reveal his Antichrist. The words “CATCHING
AWAY” are perfect words to translate the English word Rapture
from the Greek word “HARPOSA”. The word “HARPOSA”
has all of the meanings which embodies the “RAPTURE OF THE
SAINTS” out of the impending darkness. It is an endearment
term with all the love of Christ for His Bride.
- 1. It Fits Biblical Precedence Of God’s Judgment For
The Wicked! David was bold in his proclamation, “I have
not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”
(Psalm 37:25) To suggest that God the Father will deny 6000 years
of history and judge the church in the same horrible hour as
the wicked doesn’t fit His character. The nature of the
tribulation period, the final judgment of man’s wickedness,
makes that suggestion even less likely. When the antediluvian
world reached its zenith of debauchery and the Father was ready
to pour out His wrath, Noah found

- BLOOD RED MOONS AND SOLAR ECLIPSES IN 2015
Learn Bible Prophecy Ministries By Jeffrey R. Camino - Thursday,
January 6, 2011 - Mark Biltz, pastor of El Shaddai Ministries
in Bonney Lake, WA, has discovered some information that is quite
interesting in a prophetic sense. He notes that a series of four
rare lunar eclipses (known as a tetrad) will happen in 2014 and
2015. Two of the lunar eclipses will happen during Passover and
The Feast of Sukkot, (a.k.a. The Feast of Tabernacles) in 2015,
and there will be two solar eclipses that same year falling on
dates noteworthy to the Jewish calendar. I think this statement
from Biltz best sums up what will happen in 2015 regarding the
eclipses: Continued: http://learnbibleprophecy.blogspot.com/2011/01/blood-red-moons-and-solar-eclipses-in.html

Posted on September 12, 2011 by creeping - via 9/11 memorial
events: London protesters burn American flag outside US embassy.
- Protesters set fire to the U.S. flag outside the American
embassy in London today during a minute’s silence to mark
the moment the first hijacked airliner hit the World Trade Centre.
- A group of 100 Muslim radicals, including members of Muslims
Against Crusades, shouted ‘USA terrorists’ and brandished
anti-American placards.
- He said: ‘I’m a Muslim. What they’re doing
is bringing shame on all Muslims.This is not part of the teachings
of Islam.
- ‘Islam is all about peace, but what they want to do
is hate other people.
- One protester in Grosvenor Square said: ‘You will always
face suffering, you will always face humiliation, unless you
withdraw your troops from Muslim lands.’
- A small group of Muslims staged a counter-demonstration nearby,
holding up placards reading ‘Muslims Against Extremism’
and ‘If You Want Sharia, Move To Saudi’.
- Earlier, a group of English Defence [sic] League protesters
were ordered to move on to accommodate the anti-American demonstration.
- The 60-strong group briefly scuffled with police as they
were forced away from their original location to a different
part of Grosvenor Square. Twenty people were arrested for breach
of the peace as the group was dispersed towards Oxford Street.
And at least four more arrests were made as police escorted the
Muslim group back towards the Central London Mosque in Regents

- KILLER WORDS: MUSLIMS TEXT DEATH THREATS TO CHRISTIANS
'We must kill the infidels and destroy their churches'
Posted: September 13, 2011 - 9:24 pm Eastern - By Bob Unruh -
WND - Muslim extremists are using a relatively new tool in their
attempt to intimidate and bully Christians, with death threats
sent by text-messaging to Christian church leaders, a new report
confirms. The report comes from Compass Direct, which monitors
and reports on Christian issues around the globe. The situation
has developed in Sudan. "We want this country to be purely
an Islamic state, so we must kill the infidels and destroy their
churches all over Sudan," Compass Direct sources in the
African nation have reported that one text message said. See
what happens with Islam is the law of the land, in "Cruel

of at least 10 churches in the Khartoum area, and came in recent

- FEDERAL APPEALS COURT CONSIDERS SHARIA LAW
- By Ariane de Vogue - Sep 12, 2011 10:37am - Federal appeals
court in Denver is poised to hear arguments regarding the use
of Sharia law in state court, a day after the somber ceremonies
commemorating the 10th anniversary of 9-11. A panel of judges
from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals will eventually decide
whether a lower court judge was correct in blocking a 2010 ballot
initiative forbidding Oklahoma courts from considering Islamic
laws in the their decisions. Sharia law is broadly defined as
a body of law based on Islam and its central religious text,
the Quran.
- The ballot measure passed by a 70 percent margin but was
immediately challenged by the Council on American-Islamic Relations
(CAIR). The group argued the measure violates the Establishment
Clause of the Constitution forbidding the government from favoring
one religion over another.
- U.S District Court Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange blocked the
measure in November 2010, ruling that any harm that would result
from a delay in certifying the election results is “minimized”
because the defendants were “not aware of any situation
where Sharia Law has been applied in an Oklahoma court.”
Judge Miles-LaGrange said that the challengers were likely to
succeed on the merits of their case going forward.
- In court documents defending the constitutionality of the
measure, lawyers for the Oklahoma Attorney General said its “principle
purpose” was to ban the Oklahoma courts from looking at
the “precepts of other nations or cultures.”
- They argue in court papers that the measure does not single
out Sharia law. “The measure bans, equally, all laws from
other nations or cultures, including, but not limited to international
law and Sharia law,” according to the court papers.
- But opponents of the measure say it “stigmatizes Islam.”
In court briefs, lawyers for CAIR, joined by the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU), write, “The State of Oklahoma makes
no attempt to defend the practice of singling out one religious
faith for official condemnation and disability.
- “The measure tramples the free exercise rights of a
disfavored minority faith and constrains the ability” of
Muslims in Oklahoma to “execute valid wills, assert religious
liberty claims under the Oklahoma Religious Freedom Act, and
enjoy equal access to the state judicial system,” they argue.
- They point out that Sharia Law is not outlined in any single
document but is subject to “individual and communal”
interpretations that differ across denominations among Muslims.

- NETWORK CANCELS DAVID BARTON'S RADIO SHOW WHILE ON THE AIR
- As many of you know, we have been following the David Barton
Glenn Beck Saga very closely. Over the past few weeks, several
of Chris' shows have been specifically geared towards the "Restoring
Courage" rally in Jerusalem and how Glenn Beck is weaving
his ecumenical-Mormonism into Christianity. Today, Dr. Warren
Throckmorton published an article stating the Moody Broadcast
Network pulled the plug on David Barton's Wallbuilders LIVE show
because he was defending Glenn Beck's Mormonism.
- The Moody Broadcast Network station in East Texas, KBJS-FM
canceled David Barton’s Wallbuilders Live radio program
during the show yesterday while Barton was discussing Glenn Beck’s
religious beliefs. Randy Featherstone, KBJS manager, said the
show was dropped due to Barton’s failure to distinguish
between Mormon theology and Christianity.
- “When David Barton said it doesn’t matter whether
you are a Mormon or a Baptist or a Methodist, we felt we had
to do something,” Featherstone explained. On the Tuesday
program, Barton played audio of Glenn Beck saying that “the
Lord Jesus Christ is my Savior and my Redeemer.” Then Barton
said he believed that Beck was a...see full article at http://www.noiseofthunder.com/articles/2011/9/14/network-cancels-david-bartons-radio-show-while-on-the-air.html

AGAINST IT IN MICHIGAN
Posted on September 14, 2011 by creepingsharia - So the ACLU

we do? A Muslim group – they are fighting against sharia
law in the U.S. How long before CAIR and the rest of the sharia
lobby calls them apostates? via ACLU fights Oklahoma ban on Islamic
law; Muslim group supports Michigan ban – Beliefnet News.
- The battle over Muslim shari’ah law in American has
taken some unexpected turns.
- As might be expected, the American Civil Liberties Union
— which predictably takes up any and all anti-Christian
causes — is suing the state of Oklahoma in support of the
enforcement of Islamic law in the Sooner State. The ACLU’s
partner in the suit is CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic
Relations, which has been tied to terrorist groups.
- However, completely unexpected is the American Islamic Leadership
Conference’s support of a Michigan bill that would prevent
state judges from utilizing foreign laws. This, to the surprise
of some, would include Sharia law. This group, comprised of Muslim
adherents, is opposed do any state court decisions that would
conflict with American law. In an official release, the group

SIGNS ON BUGGIES
- Nine Amish were sentenced to jail in Kentucky for breaking
a state law that requires them to put orange signs on their horse-drawn
buggies. The triangular signs are required as a safety warning
to indiciate slow-moving vehicles. But the men refused to comply
with the law because their religious beliefs forbid them from

- TORONTO: PLANNER FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS CELEBRATES ‘SEX
WORKERS’ TRANSGENDERISM, ‘LGBTTQQI2S’ AGENDA
- by Peter Baklinski - Fri Sep 16, 2011 16:49 EST - TORONTO,
ON, September 16, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A father of a six-year-old
student in the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) says he was
shocked to discover what the school board considers to be “Days
of Significance,” reports the Toronto Sun. In the “Days
of Significance” calendar in his son’s 2011-12 daily
planner, Jaak Purres discovered days devoted to transgendered
people, prostitution, gender identity, and Dyke marches.
- “I was looking through this thing and was shocked,’”
said the outraged father. “It’s just bizarre! He’s
six. I want him to enjoy being six.” Purres pointed out
that the planner comes from a school that goes only till the
5th grade, “so they are not going to be able to say it was
in there for the older kids either. I just don’t get it
because the kids in first grade can read.” Spokesperson
for the school board Shari Schwartz-Maltz said that the planner
is “not consistent” with what is in most readers throughout
the board, reported the Toronto Sun. Continued: http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/planner-for-elementary-students-celebrates-sex-workers-transgenderism-lgbtt

- CITY DEMANDS CHRISTIANS GET PERMIT FOR BIBLE STUDY
Already fined $300, facing potential penalty of $500 per meeting
- Posted: September 16, 2011 - 6:06 pm Eastern - By Bob Unruh
- WND -
Chuck and Stephanie Fromm already have been fined $300 for holding
Bible studies for their friends at their home, and they face
the potential for additional fines of $500 for each study held,
according to a legal team taking their case to court. The newest
conflict over Bible studies in homes in America arose in San
Juan Capistrano, Calif., where city officials say city code section
9-3.301 prohibits religious organizations in residential neighborhoods
without a conditional-use permit, a sometimes very expensive
procedure. The code cites "churches, temples, synagogues,
monasteries, religious retreats, and other places of religious
worship and other fraternal and community service organizations."

- IF IT FEELS RIGHT ...
- By DAVID BROOKS - Published: September 12, 2011 - During
the summer of 2008, the eminent Notre Dame sociologist Christian
Smith led a research team that conducted in-depth interviews
with 230 young adults from across America. The interviews were
part of a larger study that Smith, Kari Christoffersen, Hilary
Davidson, Patricia Snell Herzog and others have been conducting
on the state of America’s youth.
Smith and company asked about the young people’s moral lives,
and the results are depressing.
- It’s not so much that these young Americans are living
lives of sin and debauchery, at least no more than you’d
expect from 18- to 23-year-olds. What’s disheartening is
how bad they are at thinking and talking about moral issues.
- The interviewers asked open-ended questions about right and
wrong, moral dilemmas and the meaning of life. In the rambling
answers, which Smith and company recount in a new book, “Lost
in Transition,” you see the young people groping to say
anything sensible on these matters. But they just don’t
have the categories or vocabulary to do so.

- THE EXCUSE: MULTIFAITH?
- THE MORAL VALUES OF AMERICA'S YOUTH
Published: September 15, 2011 - David Brooks cites a Notre Dame
study of 230 young Americans to indict an entire generation’s
moral sensibility, warning that our “erosion of shared moral
frameworks” gives rise to “moral individualism.”
- I think the researchers got it wrong. It’s not that
we don’t have a shared vocabulary to address moral issues
— we just don’t have theirs. My generation is the most
open-minded in history. Nearly half of us are nonwhite or multiracial;
most of us support interracial dating; and the majority of us,
including conservatives, accept gays and lesbians.
- We don’t frame our moral commitments in the black-and-white
language of previous generations, because we’ve inherited
the damage that comes from absolutes, whether partisan politics
or fundamentalisms.
- We’d rather channel our diverse moral stirrings into
meaningful action. In fact, a group of us lead a multifaith initiative
for justice anchored in exactly what Mr. Brooks says we lack:
moral vision. It’s time for a closer look.

- 17 THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE 'LION KING'
By Gary Susman Posted Sep 13th 2011 5:40PM - Call it the circle
of life: many kids who saw 'The Lion King' in theaters when it
opened in 1994 can now take their own kids to see it when the
3D version hits the cineplex on Sept. 16. (The film hits both
standard and 3D Blu-ray on Oct. 4.) Of course, it's hard to believe
there's a generation that has never been exposed to 'The Lion
King'; since the landmark Disney cartoon debuted, it has spawned
an industry that's included two direct-to-video sequels, a TV
series, several video games and a long-running Broadway musical.
- To celebrate the 17-year history of 'The Lion King,' Moviefone
has unearthed 17 things you might not have known about the furry
film fable, including which Oscar-nominated song Elton John thought
would kill his career, the supposed secret "sex" scene,
what that chant at the beginning of 'Circle of Life' means, and
a precedent-setting blast of warthog flatulence.

the Jungle,' until the filmmakers realized that lions live on
the savanna, not in the jungle. Continued: http://blog.moviefone.com/2011/09/13/lion-king-3d-trivia/?icid=maing-grid7%7Chp-

- CHRISTIAN-JEWISH RELATIONS STILL SOURCE OF DEBATE
Philip A. Cunningham and Eric J. Greenberg -- ENInews/RNS - 1
September 2011 - Washington, D.C. (ENInews). A fascinating exchange
recently took place in the pages of the Vatican's newspaper between
the chief rabbi of Rome and the Vatican's chief representative
to the Jewish people. Their conversation reflected just how far
we've come in Christian-Jewish relations -- but also how far
we have yet to go, Religion News Service reports.
- It started when L'Osservatore Romano published an article
by Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Vatican's Commission
for Religious Relations with the Jews. Writing about the upcoming
interfaith gathering at Assisi, Italy, on 27 October, Koch noted
two key changes since the first Assisi summit 25 years ago: the
collapse of communism and the rise in terrorism. After arguing
that "peace is the common effort of all religions,"
Koch concluded that from a Christian perspective, "the cross
of Jesus erases any desire for vengeance and calls everyone to
reconciliation, it rises above us as the permanent and universal
Yom Kippur," referring to the Jewish Day of Atonement.
- The cross is "not an obstacle to interreligious dialogue,"
he wrote, "but rather, it indicates the decisive way that
especially Jews and Christians, but also Muslims and followers
of other religions, should welcome with a deep inner reconciliation,
becoming the leaven of peace and justice in the world."

2011 - New York (ENInews)--In a ceremony commemorating the tenth
anniversary of the 11 September terrorist attacks, a minister,
a rabbi, and an imam took part in an interfaith bell-ringing
ceremony at St. Paul's Chapel in lower Manhattan. The 245-year-old
Episcopal church, located just one block from the destroyed World
Trade Center, in 2001 became for months a respite center for
rescue workers. The bell-ringing took place on the evening of
11 September, after a day marked by a ceremony at a new memorial
plaza on the site of the former twin towers, attended by families
of 11 September victims, President Barack Obama and other leaders.
Thousands of commemoration services took place in the U.S. and
around the world to mark the day on which nearly 3,000 people
lost their lives in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. [389

of other faiths despite growing political turmoil in the region,
said Daniel Milo, the director of the Jerusalem Center for Ethics,
prior to the start of the third annual Interfaith and Ethics
Symposium on 14 September. Religious leaders now realized "that
the alternative to dialogue is not acceptable," Milo said,
noting that attendance at the annual symposium, which delves
into interfaith challenges, has grown over the past three years.
Still, he admitted, some Palestinian religious leaders from East

godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that
I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 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. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom
we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which
ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted,
ye might well bear with him" (2 Cor 11:1-4).
And Jesus saith unto them, "But whom say ye that I am?"
(Mark 8:29).
- PERSONAL ENCOUNTERS
"Brother, I'm not interested in any of your divisive doctrinal
talk. All I care about is knowing that a person loves Jesus.
If someone tells me that, no matter what church he goes to, he's
my brother in Christ!" It didn't seem like the right time
or place to get into an argument with this individual. Nevertheless,
I felt compelled at least to get a question in before the conversation
ended. "When you talk with someone who tells you he loves
Jesus, do you ever ask that person, 'Jesus who?"'
After quick thought the elderly gentleman let me know that he
would never ask such a question. "It wouldn't be loving."

- ROB BELL TO LEAVE MARS HILL CHURCH
The pastor who ignited a debate over heaven and hell has announced
his departure from the church he founded.
Sarah Pulliam Bailey - posted 9/22/2011 05:00PM - Rob Bell has
decided to leave Mars Hill Church, the Grandville, Michigan,
megachurch he and his wife founded 12 years ago, to focus on
a broader audience, the church announced today. Flickering Pixels
author Shane Hipps will take over for Bell during spring 2012
after Bell finishes his series on Acts in December. The church
released the following statement on its site:
- Feeling the call from God to pursue a growing number of strategic
opportunities, our founding pastor Rob Bell, has decided to leave
Mars Hill in order to devote his full energy to sharing the message
of God's love with a broader audience.
It is with deeply mixed emotions that we announce this transition
to you. We have always understood, encouraged, and appreciated
the variety of avenues in which Rob's voice and the message of
God's tremendous love has traveled over the past 12 years. And
we are happy and hopeful that as Rob and Kristen venture ahead,
they will find increasing opportunity to extend the heartbeat
of that message to our world in new and creative ways.
Bell ignited a discussion about heaven, hell, and the nature
of salvation this March with the publication of Love Wins (HarperOne)
and after Justin Taylor penned a blog post titled "Rob Bell:

- Q & A ARE HEALTH AND WEALTH A PART OF THE GOSPEL?
- Question: I have some very good friends involved with the
wealth, health gospel. They are told the following:
- Prosperity, health and success is part of the gospel. When
Jesus died, He died to redeem us from the curse of the law (Galatians
3:13). One of the curses of the fall of Adam was poverty (Genesis
3:17-19), sickness and disease. Under the Old Testament Mosaic
law, poverty and sickness was a curse for breaking the law (see
Deuteronomy 28:17-18). When Jesus died, He set us free from this
curse. Through the gospel of Jesus Christ we are thus free from
poverty and sickness just as we are free from sin. Through the
gospel, we have restored fellowship with God, and this includes
access to the abundant provision of our Father in heaven. The
gospel is therefore about freedom from lack, sickness and distress
just as much as it is about freedom from sin. Sin is the root
cause of all these problems, and when Jesus took care of sin
on the cross of Calvary, He took care of these problems too.
Because salvation from lack and sickness is as much a part of
the gospel as salvation from sin, it is right to preach it as
part of the gospel.
- What can one say to all this?
- RESPONSE: Let me begin with a consideration of the points
your friends (or really those influencing your friends) are making
here. 1) "prosperity, health and success is part of the
gospel".
- No, not at all. The gospel is very clear. It is eternal life
available for all through faith in Jesus Christ (cf. Rom.1).
Yes there will be blessings unimaginable in the world to come,
but nowhere in the Bible do I find Jesus promising us "prosperity,
health and success". Compare: "In this world, you will
have tribulation" (Jn.16:33). In this same verse, Jesus
promises us peace, but that does not mean material wealth as
a given.

- CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD
Beware of the book, Conversations with God, Dr. James Dobson
talked about this book twice this week. It is devastating and
parents and Christian schools need to be aware of this. Do pass
it on to church/e-mail addressees. Parents, Grand parents, Aunts,
Uncles: Please pay special attention not only to the what your
kids watch on TV, and in movie theaters, and the music they listen
to, but we must also be alert regarding the books they read...
Two particular books, Conversations with God, and Conversations
with God for Teens, written by Neil D. Walsh, sound harmless
enough by their titles alone. These books have been on the New
York Times best sellers, list for a number of weeks these publications
makes truth of the statement,, "Don't judge a book by its
cover/title."
The author purports to answer various questions from kids using
the "voice of God". However, the "answers"
that he gives are not biblically-based and go against the very
infallible word of God. For instance (and I paraphrase, when
a girl asks the question "why am I a lesbian?" his
answer is that she was born that way because of genetics (just
as you were born right-handed, with blue eyes, etc.). Then he
tells her to go out and "celebrate" her differences.

- FAITH HEALERS USE MESMERISM
Here, in fact, lies the whole secret of magnetism, and all delusions
of a similar kind: increase the spirituality—rouse the spirit
from its slumbers, or, in other words, work upon the imagination—induce
belief and blind confidence, and you may do any thing. --Charles
Mackay
Mesmerism is a bit of medical quackery developed in the 18th
century by the German physician Franz Anton Mesmer (1734-1815).
In 1766, he published his doctoral dissertation on how the planets
affect health: De planetarum influxu in corpus humanum (On the
Influence of the Planets on the Human Body). The work was not
original, but largely plagiarized (Pattie 1994). Nevertheless,
it satisfied the faculty at the University of Vienna.
- He maintained in his dissertation, "that the sun, moon,
and fixed stars mutually affect each other in their orbits; that
they cause and direct in our earth a flux and reflux not only
in the sea, but in the atmosphere, and affect in a similar manner
all organized bodies through the medium of a subtle and mobile
fluid, which pervades the universe and associates all things
together in mutual intercourse and harmony." (Mackay 1841)

- CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE (CRI) ECUMENICAL FELLOWSHIP
WITH ROME
The Christian Research Institute (CRI), located in Rancho Santa
Margarita, California (moved there from San Juan Capistrano in
1997) was founded by the late Walter Martin. Hank Hanegraaff
is now CRI's president, assuming that post after Martin's death
in June of 1989. Hanegraaff is a Chuck Smith/Calvary Chapel ordained
pastor, which allows him considerable ministerial tax breaks.
(This could also explain why the questionable doctrines of the
Calvary Chapel movement are never questioned by CRI.) Reportedly,
Martin handpicked Hanegraaff as CRI president because Hanegraaff
brought his "Memory Dynamics" techniques to the field
of apologetics. (Hanegraaff wrote Memory Dynamics: Your Untapped
Resource for Spiritual Growth, which contained significant amounts
of material some think Hanegraaff plagiarized from Jerry Lucas's
The Memory Book and from memory expert Harry Lorayne). (See Note
at the end of this report for the recent rift between Hanegraaff
and Walter Martin's heirs.)
- CRI's stated purpose is to focus on aberrant religious groups
(especially the "cults"), current theological disputes,
and Christian education. CRI has a tremendous influence across
North America through its nationwide Bible Answerman radio program
(heard in 125 cities in the U.S. and Canada) and its broad range
of literature, the most noteworthy being the quarterly Christian
Research Journal (CRJ). For the fiscal year ended 6/30/99, CRI
had annual revenues in excess of $7 million -- $6 million from
donations and $1 million from sales of merchandise. Hanegraaff
operates from a huge office with wooden bookcases, big windows,
leather couches, and paintings of serene golf scenes. Hanegraaff
lives in the gated community of Coto de Caza, but says his salary
($147,500 for FY99) is stretched thin by his eight children.

- BILLY GRAHAM EXPOSED: ONE-WORLD ASPIRATIONS
From the Research of Fritz Springmeyer - Some of the areas that
Billy Graham deviates from Scripture are as follows:
- He is on public record supporting homosexuality, abortion,
his disbelief in a literal hell [which is where we are now -100777.com],
his support and practice of infant baptism to save children,
his support for the Catholic church's worship of Mary (yet he
calls himself a Protestant). He has repeatedly praised infidels
and apostates as great Christians. He actively supported the
American government policy to fight the Vietnam War. He would
not challenge the idea that the Bible is mythology, when directly
questioned. The deception doesn't stop with the Protestants,
Catholic supporters have been kept in the dark about his abortion
views. The deception goes way beyond Protestant, Catholic beliefs.
- The fact that he is a priest shows that he does not work
for God. Please study the following links thoroughly.
- Matthew 6:5-8 And when thou prayest, thou shalt NOT be as
the hypocrites [ARE]: for they love to pray standing in the churches
and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and WHEN
THOU HAST SHUT THY DOOR, pray to thy Father in private (Enoch
56:5; Sura 7:55); and thy Father which seeth in secret shall
reward thee openly.
But when ye pray, use NOT vain repetitions, as the heathen [DO]:
for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Be NOT ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what
things ye have need of, BEFORE ye ask Him....
- As a programmed multiple who participates in Satanic Ritual,
Billy Graham has deceived everyone. The second area is concerns
about his support for a One-World Church and a One-World-Government.
This stems from:
- Billy Graham 's public endorsements of the World Council
of Churches and the National Council of Churches,
Billy Graham's consistent attendance at the World Council of
Churches' meetings,
that Billy Graham has done more than anyone in the world to bring
about the One-World-Harlot church, and he has done more than
anyone to unite all the Christian groups into one organization,
Billy Graham's support of the Pope and the Catholic church which
is the largest Christian religion and one of the pillars of the
New Age One-World religious body being set up... In terms of
witnesses who have put what they have witnessed in writing we
have the following: Jim Shaw, ex-33° Mason -- the highest
ranking Freemason to defect to Christianity, writes about Billy
Graham being at his 33° initiation ceremony. Huntington House
refused to print his book co-authored with Tom McKenney unless
they took out Billy Graham's name on pg. 104, and substituted
a general description. (See The Deadly Deception, p. 104-105.)
Only Freemasons are allowed to attend these initiations. (See
The New Age, the official organ of The Supreme Council 33°.
Wash., D.C., October 1961, p. 30.) Some Christians have tried
every thing in their mind to get around Jim Shaw's testimony.
And the Masonic Lodge are now claiming that he wasn't a 33°
Freemason. Whole article: http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Wolves/billy_graham-freemason.htm

- RELIGIONS: THE OCCULT CONNECTION
- by David J. Stewart - I've written a Gospel tract specifically
for members of occult religions, using Microsoft Publisher 2000.
You can download the .pub file HERE if you'd like to have it.
It's 6 MB because of all the photos. You can view the actual
tract here. You must have Microsoft Publisher 2000, or more recent,
to open this file—then you can print it to distribute. You
may also want to write your own tracts. Below is exactly what
the tract looks like, front and back. It prints on standard size
paper. People love pictures, and these images speak volumes against
these false religions. This is the truth, however creepy and
disturbing. This tract is not for the average person, but for
members of occult false religions specifically. They have been
indoctrinated and need to have their eyes opened to the truth.
This is the truth!
- I believe that the best way to deal with a member of any
religion is to give them the plain and simple Gospel. You win
a Mormon to the Lord the same exact way that you lead a Jehovah's
Witness (JW) to the Lord, and that is, by grace through faith
in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). Albeit, it is next to impossible
to get a Jehovah's Witness to admit they are lost. The JW religion
deliberately indoctrinates their members with human reasoning
in such a way that the Bible is virtually rendered useless (Mark
7:13). Continued: http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Illuminati/

- CONDITIONED FOR SATAN
- by David J. Stewart - "I am come in my Father's name,
and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name,
him ye will receive." —John 5:43
- The world is being conditioned (prepared) to receive Satan
(i.e. the coming Antichrist). In an unbelievable turn of events
(made possible by the 911 crisis), the New World Order is well
on it's way to completion. I anticipate the completion of the
New World Order (NWO) around 2015 (just a humble guess). The
NWO will consolidate all religious, political, economic, monetary,
and military entities—a One World Order.
- The hallmark of the NWO will be a Godless Global Totalitarian
Communist Police State. A confederate of nations will rule the
world under the leadership of the Antichrist. Other nations will
comply due to fear. The Antichrist may very well claim to be
a Christian, just as many falsely do today. Satan is a beautiful
liar.
- The minds of the world's population have already been greatly
CONDITIONED to receive the Antichrist. We see clear evidence
of this in the Satanic
hand sign, which is extensively flashed throughout American
society by every age group, religious and non-religious alike,
poor and rich, it matters not. The El
Diablo hand sign shows allegiance to Satan, whether the people
using it realize it or not. The hand sign itself represents the
horns on a ram (which is a mockery of the Lamb of God).
- See also, The
Pentagram.
- Entertainers like Criss
Angel are also being used by Satan to prepare society for
the coming Antichrist. Continued:

- BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER
- By David J. Stewart - "In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light
of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine unto them." —2nd Corinthians 4:4
- I’ve had numerous people lately ask me to summarize
the New World Order [NWO] and explain what it all means.
- First, no one can properly understand what’s going on
in the world today unless you begin with the Word of God. The
Bible teaches in 2nd Corinthians 4:4 that Satan is the god of
this sinful world. As such, Satan needs a way to control this
world. Satan uses occult organizations to accomplish this. Such
organizations are: Skull and Bones (officially The order Of Death),
Rosicrucians, Bohemian Grove, the Russian Orthodox Church, Freemasonry,
and others. The word "occult" means "secret."
Satan operates in secrecy because his works are evil, and must
be hid from the eyes of the public, lest Christians expose Satan's
works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11).
- Thus, the Devil works through members of the occult to infiltrate
and influence every area of society — religion, the music
industry, public schools, Hollywood, The Council On Foreign Relations,
the United Nations, Wall Street, corporations, government, et
cetera.

New World Order pdf (by Samuel Z. Batten, published
in 1919)
- Here is an excellent explanation from eye-opening author
Henry Makow concerning who the Illuminati are . . .
- "The Illuminati refers to a tightly organized network
of family dynasties representing Anglo American and European
aristocracy and Jewish finance joined by intermarriage, belief
in the occult, and hatred of Christianity. Freemasonry is their
instrument. They care nothing for their non-Illuminati brethren,
Jewish or not. They will destroy billions as they create a neo
feudal world characterized by the superrich, their support staff,
soldiers and serfs."
