You don't go to other religions for the truth and think that you're going please God!

Greetings, everyone! Welcome to Sabbath services! We're back from the Feast and from all the e-mails and reports that I've been receiving, everyone had a good Feast, even those who were not able to get out to a Feast site. We had all the messages online and you could download them.
Here in Hollister we had a good Feast for five days, then for the last three days we had to cancel the meetings because five people came down with Covid. We didn't want to repeat the mistake of last year of not taking care of things the way that we should; to separate and keep away from spreading it. Last year we had two people die after the Feast. However, even though we weren't able to meet, we would still download it on their smart phone or television.
We tried that one day and looked at day seven and it came out pretty good. Whenever I see what I preach I don't look at it to see how good I'm doing. I look at it to see what I need to do to improve and whether everything is the way that it should be.
All of us our recuperating; I think everybody is just about out of the woods so far and we'll move ahead with things.
*****
I want you to think about the 2020 election for just a little bit. Let's think about it. How long do you suppose that they were in on planning this? It was quite a thing to have all of the Dominion vote counting machines programmed so that they would cheat on the count to toward Trump and give it to Biden.
We know that it started in the summer with Black Lives Matter with all of the riots, burning, etc. then came 'defund the police.' Let's look at the election. When did they make the decision to completely defraud the American people of the election?
Why would God allow it? Something of that magnitude, God did not allow, but gave permission to Satan and the demons to do what they did! The whole agenda was prepared.
Remember that right after the election came Critical Race Theory and books in all schools.
- Who printed the books?
- Who wrote the books?
- Who gave the order for all of this to happen?
Satan has to use people just like God uses people!
Look at what happened, and let's see why God did it. Then we're going to look at what is coming, which is called The Emerging Church! Have you ever heard of that?
As we have known and covered many times, just like God is judging every individual all the time, how does He do that? Through His laws and commandments, which are automatic! Just like the law of gravity, it's functioning all the time. So. All of those who say that the Law is done away, they are liars and cheats, and they are against God. We will see that!
Jeremiah 3:20: "'Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so you have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel,' says the LORD."
Understand that most of the book of Jeremiah is for the Jews in Judea and Jerusalem going to Babylon. But there are mixed in it prophecies concerning Israel. We have "…dealt treacherously…" and we will see how treacherously in just a little bit.
Verse 21: "A voice was heard upon the high places weeping and supplications of the children of Israel…"
That's what's happening today. Everybody is all upset: Why do we have all of these problems? I'll tell you why! It starts with the clergy, Protestant and Catholic!
When we come to Matt. 7 we will see that God directs it toward those who are preachers, which includes: Protestant, Catholic, and whoever else who names the name of Jesus.
"…for they have perverted their way…" (v 21).
Isn't that a good description of what has happened? Now we're getting down to the depths of Sodom and Gomorrah, sex with animals.
"…and they have forgotten the LORD their God" (v 21).
I want you remember that phrase the next time you watch any big affair. I know that a lot of you watch football, and you see that all of the college sports are Friday night and Sabbath.
Look at those crowds. When they pan and show the whole crowd, they said in this one football game they had 100,000 people there. How many were thinking of God? Not a single one!
So, God says this, and this is what we are to do and what we are to preach:
Verse 22: "'Return, O backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.' 'Behold, we come to You; for You are the LORD our God. Truly, in vain is salvation hoped for from the high hills, from the multitude of mountains. Truly, in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel'" (vs 22-23).
That's what they should be doing. Every minister—whether you're a minister, a Catholic priest, whatever—you should be preaching Christ and the commandments of God. But you won't, so we're going to see how that occurs.
Verse 24: "The shameful thing has eaten up the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covers us; for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God" (vs 24-25).
That's quite an indictment! Isn't that true? I think it would be interesting if Jesse Waters—Water's Word on Fox News—would have his surrogate go out with a microphone and stick it in the face of people and ask:
- Who is God?
- Do you know who God is?
- What are the commandments of God?
- Can you name one of them?
I wonder what sort of answers you would get? They have forgotten God!
What I would like to do is show you how it's been happening in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. We have some DVDs on The Jesuit Agenda! This is the Jesuit plan for the SDAs. Let me read you some of this by a minister—name was not available on the video—and he labels it:
Video/YouTube: This is Demonic: Who Can Stand This in the SDA Church?
{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGivQ-9Et2Q}
The SDA Church is being complete underminded by the Jesuits, so much so that about the only thing they have left is knowledge of the Sabbath for those who attend church. Quite an amazing thing. How did all that happen? Here's the clue!
…a growing number of churches are joining the ranks of the "emerging church."
Let's examine some of this a little more closely! We'll come back to the Beast Power of Rev. 13, but we want to go to the one of the false prophet! Let's look at it carefully.
Revelation 13:11: "And I saw another beast rising out of the earth… [that's interesting, just coming out of it] …and he had two horns…"
What does a horn picture? A king or leader! Think about Chrislam, what do we have? One horn, the pope, and one horn the leading imam of the Muslims—two horns! Right in front our own eyes. It's growing and more people are coming. How are they coming? There's going to be the "emerging church"!
"…two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon; and he exercises all the authority of the first beast before him… [worldwide] …and he causes the earth and those who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed" (vs 11-12).
Why will they worship him? First of all the Jews are not looking for God to come from heaven! They're looking for a physical man to come. Let's understand something else:
The seven heads and the ten horns of Rev. 13 & 17 are not the same as the seven heads and ten horns in the book of Daniel. These are the end-time.
Revelation 17:1: "And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials came and spoke with me, saying to me, 'Come here; I will show you the judgment of the great whore who sits upon many waters."
Verse 15: "…'The waters that you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.
Tie that in with the first beast of Rev. 13 and is given control of the whole world, and the two of them work together.
Verse 2: "With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication."
That means that they are so deluded in what they think, and they have so many different opinions concerning religion, God, Christ, and anything to do spiritually that they can't see straight! It also means that they have "…drunk of the wine of her fornication," meaning that they have taken into themselves the false doctrines.
Verse 3: "Then he carried me away in the spirit to a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast that had seven heads and ten horns, full of names of blasphemy. And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and pearls and precious stones; and she had a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominations and the filthiness of her fornication… [here it is labeled, right here]: …and across her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" (vs 3-5).
Then we go on and read that the ten kings receive power one hour with the beast and they fight against Christ.
Revelation 13:13: "And he performs great wonders, so that he even causes fire to come down to the earth from heaven in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by means of the wonders that were given to him to perform in the sight of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image for the beast, which had the wound by the sword, yet, was alive" (vs 13-14). Let's see how this takes place:
(continuing article): But the phrase: "emerging church" captures several important features of a new generation of churches.
Everybody has been put into a state of confusion or disbelief. That's caused:
- by education
- by the religious leaders
- by the government
They are works in progress, often startlingly improvisational in their approach to everything from worship to leadership to preaching to prayer. Like their own members, they live in the half future tense of the young oriented toward their promise rather than their past….
Believe it or not, there have been writers from the Seventh-Day Adventist Church who are Jesuit infiltrators! Think about that! What happened in our Church experience?
If you analyze it carefully, you will see that there were two main forces at work against the Worldwide Church of God (WCG)! How did that come about? They tried to be accepted by the world instead of securing their acceptance with God! So, we had two men most responsible for everything that was done to tear down the WCG:
- Stanley R. Rader who was a secular Jew Jesuit trained! What did he become in the Church? The personal counselor of Herbert W. Armstrong!
- Robert L. Kuhn who came from the Jewish banking family of Kuhn/Loeb and came to Ambassador College as just a simple one 'wanting to know the Truth.' Pretty soon he ended up being the controller of Garner Ted Armstrong!
I know from first person testimony of the Timmons that Robert L. Kuhn told Timmons to sue the Church under the Charities Act of California. That's how the lawsuit came. It came to a Jewish judge in Los Angeles with a Jewish prosecutor. They hoped that with the takeover of the Church that Herbert Armstrong—who was sick with congestive heart failure in Tucson—would drop dead! And that Stan Rader would takeover the Church.
Well, Armstrong didn't drop dead, so Rader could not continue on his destruction of the Church but he had to turn around and be the defender in court of the Church. But it was taken down by the Jesuits!
The great brain behind the emerging church is Brian McLaren, and he is basically considered the father of the emerging church movement.
Here is another article from Christianity Today: November 2004
How to Evangelize Today. Brian McLaren pastors inside the beltway at Cedar Ridge Community Church in Spencerville, Maryland, and he's also of the forthcoming book More Ready Than You Realize; evangelism and dance in the post-modern matrix, and he's a featured speaker at the National Pastors Convention, etc. etc.
From New Begin… [which is this organization]
Called the New Beginning! All people like a new beginning, don't they?
…McLaren has drawn the idea of the church as "missional"…
we will see what that means
—oriented toward the needs of the world…
We have that today, the 'Christian political movement'! Why do they do that? Because they really don't believe in the return of Christ!
…rather than oriented towards its own preservation.
(Speaker) So, the Church is not so important, the needs of the world become important.
McLaren is a high mucky-muck! How did he get there? How did other ones get there? They came deceitfully, and worked themselves into positions of authority!
When you have that, the betrayers infiltrating know one another and they help them up, help them up and help them up! That's exactly what happened in WCG.
Then this speaker references Richard Foster and Victor Gill:
…these writers are all very prominent in the literature of the Jesuits. Their Jesuit web pages recommend them because they are in tune with Jesuit spirituality…
We will talk about spirituality, and we will see how they view the people of the world. We will also see how that completely destroys everything that Jesus commanded the Church to do.
From: More Ready Than You Realizeby Brian McLaren:
I believe people are saved not by objective truth, but by Jesus. Their faith isn't in their knowledge, but in God.
What is it that sets us free from falsehood and lies? Truth!
- the commandments are Truth
- the Law is Truth
- the precepts are Truth
- everything from the beginning is True
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life!
But for those who don't know Jesus, and for those who don't know the Word of God, this sounds very attractive. Remember the warning in Col. 2: Don't let anyone deceive you with persuasive words!
(Speaker) …let's cut doctrine and truth up, because the Bible says, "Thy Word is Truth."….
continuing from: More Ready Than You Realizeby Brian McLaren:
It may be advisable in many… [not all] …circumstances to help people become followers of Jesus and remain within their Buddhist, Hindu, or Jewish context—rather than resolving the paradox via pronouncements on the eternal destiny of people…
So they drop that! Here it is; you don't have to ask the Buddhists, Muslims or Hindus to forsake their satanic religion. Rather it is:
To help Buddhists, Muslims, Christians and everyone else experience life to the full…
(Speaker): These are very important words; we'll see that the Jesuits use this theology.
Here it is, you go out and talk to other people and here's what you're supposed to do.
(continuing from the book by McLaren)
…to whatever degree I can to embrace them to join them…
Saying, 'I'm just like you! Maybe we have a few things that are a little different.'
…to enter into their world without judgment…
What was preached in WCG? Laws and commandments divide, but love unites! Here it is right here!
…and with saving love as mine has been entered by the Lord.
Western Christianity has, for the last few centuries anyway, said relatively little about mindfulness and meditative practices, about which Zen Buddhism has said much. To talk about different things is not to contradict one another, it is, rather, to talk about different things is not to contradict one another, it is, rather, to have much to offer one another, on occasion at least.
What does the Bible tell us? It tells us to come out, come out of the world and be separate! Now, here's something real interesting:
(Speaker): Forget about your doctrine!
We'll look at doctrine a little later!
From: The Secret Message of Jesus: Uncovering the Truth That Could Change Everything by Brian McLaren
Isn't that title interesting. We have a book God's Plan for Mankind Revealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days!
Jesus seems to say…
If you don't read what Jesus said and just listen to what McLaren has spoken or what he has written, you don't know what Jesus has said!
…The Kingdom of God doesn't need to wait until something else happens. No, it is available and among you now… Invite people of all nations, races, classes, and religions to participate in this network of dynamic, interactive relationships with God and all God's creation.
Doesn't that sound like what we read in Rev. 13? Mind you, this is a leader in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
This is why we always need to stay with the Truth of God! Let's look at some of the things concerning the teaching of doctrine. The things that we teach are the doctrines of God and the doctrines of Jesus. Let's see where they come from and that you can't dismiss them and push them away just because you don't agree with it. Or just because you are in a church that supposedly professes belief in Jesus Christ, but many of the leaders do not! That's the key!
John 7:15: "And the Jews were amazed, saying… [after hearing Jesus speak] …'How does this Man know letters, having never been schooled?'"
Who taught Jesus? Not the rabbis, but God the Father! Jesus never attended any rabbinical school, even there's a book out that is called Jesus, the Jewish Rabbi. See what people do?
Verse 16: "Jesus answered them and said, 'My doctrine… [teachings] …is not Mine, but His Who sent Me.'"
That's quite a statement! It all comes from God! Jesus said, 'I do what I see the Father do. I do as the Father commanded Me.'
Verse 17: "If anyone desires to do His will…"
What is the will of God? Start with the Ten Commandments! Then the Sabbath and the Holy Days and all of that combined. Remember that everything in Lev. 23 about the Sabbath and Holy Days is 'These are My appointed times!'
So, if you want to know God, you better be where He is going to be on whichever day He says that we are to keep, because that's where He will be! He will never be in Sunday!
Verse 17: "If anyone desires to do His will he shall know of the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from My own self. The one who speaks of himself is seeking his own glory…" (vs 17-18)—the 'emerging church'; they have a false Jesus, a false way!
"…but He Who seeks the glory… [talking about Himself] …of Him Who sent Him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him" (v 18).
Now let's look at some other things here concerning doctrine. Eph. 4 is an interesting chapter, because it fits right in with what we're covering today and what we're reading about the 'emerging church.'
Ephesians 4:11—here's what it's supposed to be: "And He gave some asapostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers for the perfecting of the saints…" (vs 11-12).
How are you going to perfect the saints except it be by the Truth of God with the Spirit of God. How are you going to be perfected? Remember that every trial that comes along is to help you to choose God's way in spite of the circumstances!
Even though you may go through a trial and it be difficult, God will see you through it. Sometimes after He has seen you through it, you really don't comprehend it until quite a while down the road. But:
- IF you're faithful to God
- IF you love Him and keep His commandments
- IF you follow Him like it says
- IF you have the Spirit of God
- IF you use the Spirit of God with the Word of God in everything that you do
THEN you will understand!
"…for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ" (v 12)—edifying means to build up, not rule over!
What God wants is for all elders to teach the brethren to rule their own lives with God's Spirit and with God's Word! Jesus said, 'It is sufficient that the disciple—the brethren—become as the Teacher.' Who is the Teacher? God! We are to teach the brethren, but we are to teach what God wants, the way God wants! So, we're only vehicles in the process!
Verse 13: "Until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Tie in Philip. 2:5, we're to have the mind of Christ!
How do we have the mind of Christ? By knowing what He taught, and have the commandments written in our heart and inscribed in our mind as well!
- that's how you live
- that's how you think
- that's how you work
Verse 14: "So that we no longer be children, tossed and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men…"
That's what we're reading! "…by the sleight of men…" In other words, by the deceitfulness of men!
"…in cunning craftiness, with a view to the systematizing of the error."
This was written late in Paul's life and he could see what was developing; they were systematizing it!
Verse 15: "But holding the Truth in love, may in all things grow up into Him Who is the Head, even Christ" That's the goal!
- to develop
- to grow
- to overcome
We can find a lot of doctrine in 1st & 2nd Timothy, so let's go there and see. Notice again, and I call your attention to it, because this is all important. The first couple of verse of every Epistle of Paul is actually the most important of all, though they are almost identical in each one.
1-Timothy 1:1: "Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is our hope."
Isn't it interesting that the Father is also called our Savior. But our salvation comes through Jesus Christ, Who is our sacrifice and High Priest.
Verse 2: "To Timothy, my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. WhenI was going to Macedonia, I exhorted you to remain in Ephesus, in order that you might solemnly charge some not to teach other doctrines" (vs 2-3).
Doctrine is important. There is true doctrine and false doctrine.
Verse 18: "This charge I am personally committing to you, my son Timothy, in accordance with the prophecies that were made long ago concerning you; in order that by them you yourself might wage a good war … [against evil, the sin within, etc.] …holding to the faith and a good conscience. For some, having cast aside a good conscience, have made shipwreck in regard to the faith; of whom are Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I turned over to Satan in order that they may learn not to blaspheme" (vs 18-20).
That's quite a thing! See what happens when people start with false doctrines? We had an episode of that here recently. The reason that we did things the way that we did was because the Bible tells us to do so. So that we know, and so that we all come before God and understand that we've got to do things God's way!
We can't all of a sudden come up with a 'good idea' because we like it and we now go ahead and preach and teach it. It's good to think ahead. It's good to try and understand things we don't understand.
You know what I do when I'm preaching, I've got my cowbell and ring it. Through the years different people have sent me different cowbells, so I have smallest ones that go tinkle, tinkle. Then the big ones that go clunk, clunk!
1-Timothy 4:1—here's what we're dealing with today: "Now, the Spirit tells us explicitly that in the latter times some shall apostatize from the faith…"
That's what they're doing in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church right now. The SDAs have had some split ups like WCG has had. There are some few of them that keep the Holy Days, as well. But there are other ones who have switched over to Sunday.
"…and shall follow deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons" (v 1).
That's what this is that we are reading from the video about the SDA Church.
(break 43:36)
Let's continue on with the 'emerging church,' which is going to build into the one-world religion. We're going through some things that are taking place in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
By the way I might mention that it is on video on YouTube and I had it transcribed and it will be posted online.
Let's see that the apostles warned continually. When you go through the Epistles of Paul you will see that he was fighting false teachers and apostles teaching a false christ way back at the beginning of the Church.
2-Peter 2:1: "But there were also false prophets among the people, as indeed there will be false teachers among you… [now Peter gives a warning] …who will stealthily… [sneakily; using good words that sound so wonderful] …introduce destructive heresies, personally denying the Lord who bought them, and bringing swift destruction upon themselves." Just like Paul wrote in 2-Tim. 4!
But here in 1-Tim. 2:2: "And many people will follow as authoritative their destructive ways; and because of them, the way of the Truth will be blasphemed." That's what happens!
(continuing article in this 'emerging church' from the Seventh-Day Adventists)
From: The Secret Message of Jesus: Uncovering the Truth That Could Change Everything by Brian McLaren
"We should never go and evangelize the Chinese or any other nation, because right now everyone is saved.
Think of that statement! If everyone is saved then there can't be anything in the way of sin.
…Everybody is born saved, and if we evangelize them we might make them choose the wrong thing and they could get lost. Leave them, they're saved as they are."
That's an amazing statement!
The Kingdom of God will be radically, scandalously inclusive. As we've seen, Jesus enjoys table fellowship with prostitutes and drunks. He affirms and responds to the faith of Gentiles.
Really? All the Gentile religions are good.
from The Secret Message of Jesusby Brian McLaren
What if Jesus' secret message reveals a secret plan?….
Well, it does, but what secret. There's the secret of Truth and there's the secret of the deception.
…What if he didn't come to start a new religion, but rather came to start a political, social, religious, artistic, economic, intellectual and spiritual revolution that would give birth to a new world?
That's exactly how this whole thing of the one-world thing that is going to come to pass. Here's what they say has to happen:
Stamping out faith in Biblical absolutes is central to this transformation. A mind anchored in God's Word won't compromise, but when that anchor is removed, the current of change can carry that mind anywhere, as Jesuit scholastic, Mark Mossa, wrote in this endorsement of Brian McLaren's latest book…
and here's what he says:
The Secret Message of Jesus challenges us to put aside our sterile certainties about Christ and reconsider the imaginative world of Jesus' stories, signs and wonders.
Then he gets into something else: spiritism! Now we can learn from the Buddhists, now we can learn from the Hindus!
(Speaker): We've moved from the realms of the Biblical to the realms of the spiritualistic! This is spiritualism! This is demonic! If the Jesuits are behind it, I can with clarity say this is a counter-reformation movement!
And it is, going to the one-world religion!
Faith House Manhattan. It was founded by Samir Selmanovic
Mission: We are an experiential inter-religious community that comes together to deepen our personal communal journeys, share ritual life and devotional space, and foster a commitment to social justice and healing the world.
That sounds pretty political, doesn't it?
Remember that there will come this time of peace. There will come this time of a one-world religion. We're seeing it develop right before our eyes. When miracles start coming, by the pope or whomever, people will believe.
Samir Selmanovic is an ordained pastor, author, missional entrepreneur and founder of Faith House Manhattan… who holds a PhD from Andrews University…
Andrews University was one of the main universities of the SDAs. Samuele Bacchiocchi who wrote the book From Sabbath to Sunday was a doctor of philosophy and religion at Andrews University.
Years ago when we first produced the first edition of The Christian Passover book, Carl Franklin lived at that time 12 miles from Andrews University and would go there many times to use their library and research and so forth. So, Franklin took the Passover book and made an appointment to see Samuele Bacchiocchi and give him a copy of the book. Franklin got in and talked to him and gave him the book and Bacchiocchi flipped through it and threw it in the trash can! So, that tells you who Samuele Bacchiocchi really worked for. Not the SDAs but the Vatican!
Again, let's see what it is with spiritism.
(Speaker) This is spiritualism! This is demonic! If the Jesuits are behind it, I can with clarity say this is a counter-reformation movement!
The inter-relational things that Samir Selmanovic wants is this:
…inter-religious community that comes together to deepen our personal communal journeys, share ritual life and devotional space…
Remember what Paul wrote? You don't go to those who have satanic religions and think you can share things together and think that you're going please God! Even in Paul's day there was idolatry coming in. What do you think probably was—we don't know for sure—the first thing of idolatry that they were beginning to devise? A cross!
1-Corinthians 10:14: "Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry."
The SDA leadership say to go join them and share in their devotionals.
Verse 15: "I speak as to those who are wise; you judge what I say. The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not the fellowship of the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not the fellowship of the Body of Christ? For we, being many, are one body and one bread, because we are all partakers of the Bread. Consider Israel according to the flesh. Are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers of the altar? What then am I saying? That an idol is anything, or that which is sacrificed to an idol is anything? But that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God…" (vs 15-20).
So, what is happening, if you come into this emerging church with all the different religions together and you say that you're all saved by the fact that you're born, what are you doing?
"…and I do not wish you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and the table of demons. Now do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?" (vs 20-22). No, of course, not!
(continuing article):
(Speaker) Let's look at this: he writes books, endorsements. Is he—Samir—asking the right questions at the right time and refusing the consolation of certain certainty at the time when student orthodoxies, atheists, as well as religious are perilously dividing us.
That's what's happening in the SDA Church. This speaker says that Andrews University, Loma Linda University and Walla Walla University are Seventh-Day Adventists Universities.
(Speaker) I'm no longer surprised when some of the deans call me in and tell me:
- that I may not preach that the pope is the antichrist publicly
- when they tell me that we must embrace all the others
- when they tell me that people who come in with the old style message are not welcome in the church
That's quite an amazing thing!
(Speaker) We have to look at some of these issues, because we're not talking about one man in obscurity, we're talking about a new spirituality, which has taken hold of many of our institutions. Not only our institutions, but it has filtered right down to the grassroots level as though this was norm!
That's what he's saying is happening there in the SDA Church. I wonder what it is now.
from It's Really All About God by Samir Selmanovic—(back cover)
As we ask the question, what is faith? Selmanovic suggests that "…we move away from the question of eternity to focus on the present and temporal."
In other words, you're not looking for the Kingdom of God to come, or for those who believe in going to heaven, that you're going to heaven—which is a false doctrine anyway—but we're not to look to that.
What does Jesus tell us? Come out of her! Let's see what else he says:
With that in mind, we can receive the word that the pearl of great price that we seek is not Christianity…
Think about that! Coming right out and saying that it's "not Christianity"!
"…nor eternity nor even God's acceptance, but rather it is …the Kingdom of God, an invitation to learn to love well (p.220).
- Doesn't that sound good?
- Didn't Jesus say that we're to love God and one another?
- See how the counterfeit comes in? Damnable heresies!
(Speaker comments):
- Love what well?
- Love who well?
- Love how well?
- Does love well mean giving up the pillars of your faith?
What are the pillars of our faith? Truth! Sabbath! Holy Days and Feasts!
- Does love well mean becoming disobedient to embrace disobedience?
Samir: That's is the essence of faith, this is the purpose of life. We learn how to love well. Christianity at it's best, as it is true of other faith traditions at their best, are learning how to love well.
In other words, we accept all other religions in the world! That's how it's going to be for the one-world religion! We can see how all of this is coming together!
Pg. 10: If knowing God is a way of life, and if God has divided the world by revelation, then the destiny of those who don't have access to a life-giving revelation of God would serve no other purpose than being a control group in a cosmic experiment, a vast human sacrifice….
He's saying that if we don't accept all of these then we're participating in a vast cosmic sacrifice of God!
We can either stay within the Christianity we have mastered with the Jesus we have domesticated, or we can leave Christianity as a destination, embrace Christianity as a way of life…
But their way of life is accept everything in the world, accept all the demons, Satan and everything!
…and then journey to reality, where God is present and living in every person, every human community, and all creation.
That is quite a thing! This is how the one-world religion is going to come about; and come about, it will!
Now let's see what Jesus gave as the commission to the whole Church. They want you to abandon what the Bible says. Anytime anyone wants you to abandon what the Bible says, or what the Bible soundly teaches, you've got to be careful! That's the whole struggle that the apostles had, and in a way that's the whole struggle that the Church of God has been going through for quite a long time.
Matthew 28:18: "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying…"
That's after He was resurrected and they were all assembled together just before He ascended to heaven.
"…'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and make disciples…" (vs 18-19)—followers of Jesus.
They're to repent and be baptized and come out of their way of living and out of the religion that they have.
- Isn't that what Paul did?
- What did he do when he was in Athens (Acts 17) where they had:
- all the idols?
- all the philosophers?
Paul was invited to speak to all the leading philosophers in Paul's day. What did he say? I preach to you the Unknown God because you have a divination out here to Him! One you don't know! The One who made the heavens and the earth and everything there is in it. He commands us to repent!
All of this one-world religion is not going to require any repentance! You just all be nice and get along! How long will that last?
Verse 19: "Therefore, go and make disciples in all nations, baptizing them…
- not a word about baptism in this video on the SDAs
- not a word about living by every Word of God
"…into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you…." (vs 19-20)—not the ideas of men!
This with the emerging church is how it's going to come about. They're going to forsake all of this and go do what Satan the devil wants them to do, because he comes speaking nice, kind words. And they will fall for it!
So, Satan comes along and says, 'Let's take care of the needs of the people in the world.' Well, the truth is they in the world are going through what they're going through because they have rejected God! The message that needs to go out to the whole world is repent and be baptized just like it says here!
"…teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even until the completion of the age.' Amen." (v 20).
Now let's look at the command in Mark 16, which is very similar. Just like it says in Rev. 18; God says to His people concerning Babylon the Great—which is going to be destroyed; that's the world system—come out of her My people! Don't get involved in all of these things!
There's a great movement coming within establishment Christianity that they're going to help make thing all better. Well, they may make them better for a while, but what going to happen is that they're going to be vacuumed right up into the one world religion!
Mark 16:15: "And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the Gospel…" That's all about Christ:
- His life
- His death
- His resurrection
- His Church
- the love and commandments of God
- the Truth of God
"…preach the Gospel to the whole creation" (v 15).
Never before in the history of the world has it been possible to do it like it can be done today.
Verse 16: "The one who believes and is baptized…"
I got a long dissertation from a man saying that you don't need to be baptized. Well, he's a Sunday-keeper. I wrote back to him and told him: 'Listen! You have it all wrong; everyone is to be baptized.'
We've gone through what it is in Acts 10, and when the Holy Spirit came on Cornelius' household, that was a special sign from God to show the apostles that now He was going to deal with the Gentiles. The Jews are always exclusivists! God says NO! You're not going to be exclusivists now!
We won't get into all the Code of Jewish Law on that, but:
- What did Paul say when they received the Holy Spirit? They were baptized!
- Were not all Gentiles baptized when they repented and believe after that? Yes!
Verse 16: "The one who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but the one who does not believe shall be condemned."
Now let's look at some other things of what we are told concerning false preaching. This is exactly what the 'emerging church' is! This is what people want, and this is what they hear. They want to hear nice things! They don't want to be corrected by saying, 'If you are transgressing the commandments of God that's your problem.' They like it to be 'come as you are; we accept everyone: all religions and we'll be one big happy family.'
Isaiah 30:8: "Now go, write it before them in a tablet, and note it in a book…"
That's very interesting because they would right things down on wax tablets first, and the wax was generally bee's wax. They would do it by shorthand, and then they would put on paper they would melt down the wax so they could use it anytime they needed to.
"…so that it may be for the time to come forever and ever" (v 8).
In other words, applying to the house of Israel from that time forward to the return of Christ when you connect that with the New Testament.
Verse 9: "That this is a rebellious people, lying children.…"
Think about that! Not just children that are children, but that's what we teach our children today, TikTok:
- pornography for little kids
- gender affirmation for little kids
Sponsored by the 'loving' Chinese! But TikTok in China is entirely different!
"…They are children who will not hear the Law of the LORD" (v 9).
This fellow I wrote to is a Sunday-keeper, holiday-keeper, and I made it clear to him that 'If you're not keeping the Sabbath and Holy Days of God you have no connection with God!' He got mad and wrote back and said, 'What you're saying is satanic!'
Talk about turning everything upside down! If you keep the Laws of God that's satanic???? Did Satan ever keep the Laws of God? So, you can see what the world has come to.
"…They are children who will not hear the Law of the LORD. Who say to the seers, 'See not,' and to the prophets, 'Do not prophesy to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions'" (vs 9-10).
- Is that not spiritism? You sit there and meditate!
- What happens? Soon a demon comes along and all of a sudden the one who is meditating has 'enlightenment' and thinks it's from God! But it's not!
Verse 11: "Go out of the way… [the way of the Lord] …turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.'"
What does God say is going to happen? That's what we have today!
Verse 12: "Therefore, thus says the Holy One of Israel, 'Because you have despised this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on them; therefore, this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall…'" (vs 12-13).
Is this nation at a breach point, ready to fall? Think about it! One of the worst things that ever happened was legalizing marijuana. That's the entrance to hard drugs. That is the heart and core of the problem of the homelessness that we have in America today. That is why there is all the mental illness among those who smoke marijuana. The marijuana today is 20 times stronger than in the 1950s and 60s when they began experimenting with it. Keep that in mind! "…a breach ready to fall…'"
"…swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant" (v 13). It's going to happen, all of a sudden everything is going to take place.
Look at everything that is with America today. The most precarious thing economically in the world today is:
- the British pound
- the US dollar
Look how quickly that it nearly collapsed in Britain!
About two or three weeks ago when I talking about sports and who would be thinking of God in one of the activities going, Steve—who is from Britain—said that soccer is bigger than football in Europe and Britain. They have a stadium with 100,000 and they all sing the song together. Think about how everyone feels so uplifted with this. They have their games and everything is so good. They have their beer and food and they're cheering for their team and everything is just fine.
Who is thinking about God? Then they have it like here in America—and Britain, too—they get so involved in their teams that they identify with them. They wear their hats, shirts, everything that the soccer and football specialists, basketball and baseball… Think about it!
Who is following God? Well, when it comes and the dollar collapses, the wall is going to break! What are you going to do? On top of that we have the drought in the Midwest; the rivers are getting dry, boats are left on the shore of the rivers high and dry! Barges can't get down to go to New Orleans because the rivers are so low and the bottom of the barges get stuck in sand.
What's that going to do to the economy? Listen! Everything is going to collapse at once. If we are not prepared, if you don't have extra food, water and things that you need and money…. If the years down through time that you've been in the Church that you did not set aside some for gold and silver, you're going to be in desperate trouble when it happens.
It's not a matter of IF, the only IF is WHEN it's going to happen. When it happens, the whole world economic system is going to go into a great depression! So, it's there!
Verse 13: "Therefore, this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant. And He shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is smashed in pieces. He shall not spare, so that there shall not be found in the fragments a shard to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the pit" (vs 13-14).
Those are quite some warning statements that God has, and there are a also a lot of other things that we can look at about the false teachers, but we'll just come to Matt. 7 because we need to understand how this is coming.
Someone e-mailed me and said that I said Matt. 7 is for the Protestant ministers. It's for anyone, the Catholics, as well, and even those of these other religions.
Let's get the flow of everything, because this is what we're seeing. If you don't believe me, go watch Day Star, TBN and the Catholic network and see what they're doing, see what they're preaching. The Protestants I mention because they speak more of Jesus than the Catholics do. But everything is an illusion and false!
Matthew 7:13: "Enter in through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction…"
What did we just read? 'Everybody is saved! You're born saved! Don't disturb them or preach the Gospel to them because they might lose their salvation.' What an idiotic statement!
"…broad is the way that leads to destruction and many are those who enter through it; for narrow is the gate and difficult is the way that leads to life, and few are those who find it" (vs 13-14).
Verse 15: "But beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, for within they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. They do not gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles, do they? In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a corrupt tree produces evil fruit. … [that's what we are seeing] …A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, nor can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. Every tree that is not producing good fruit is cut down and is cast into the fire. Therefore, you shall assuredly know them by their fruits" (vs 15-20)—meaning:
- their actions
- what they do
- not what they say
Verse 21: "Not everyone who says to Me 'Lord, Lord'… [that's what they say] …shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but the one who is doing the will of My Father, Who is in heaven."
All Scripture is God breathed! That means it comes from the Father through Christ to us!
Verse 22: "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy through Your name? And did we not cast out demons through Your name? … [what a wonderful thing] …And did we not perform many works of power through Your name?' And then I will confess to them, 'I never knew you…. [Why?]: …Depart from Me, you who work lawlessness'" (vs 22-23).
Lawlessness is no Law at all! Look at what we have today!
So, the 'emerging church' is coming! Isn't that a good title The Emerging Church! Satan's greatest move!
It will be so glorious to so many people that the whole world—except those who have the Spirit of God—will be sucked up in it like a huge vacuum!
