Is Pres. Obama a Closet Catholic?

Mary Help of Christians

We live in an age of propaganda. Social psychologists generate all types of information to influence our attitudes toward some cause or position. When you read this report, I think you're going to feel our country has been 'had.'

In August of 2010, First Lady Michelle Obama said that her husband “always carries a picture of Mary Help of Christians in his wallet.” She made her remarks while visiting a house of the Salesian community in Ronda, Spain. 


That's an incredible statement, especially considering the media generated a flurry of controversy over his Muslim background.  The Associated Press reported in 2007 that young Obama spent "his childhood years in the Muslim faith" and that "Obama's religious background has come under scrutiny because he attended a Muslim school in Indonesia from age 6 to 10." Yet the AP contradicted its own reporting and discredited the claim in another report. [1]

It seems that the elementary school he attended in Jakarta found that it's a public and secular institution that has been open to students of all faiths, since before young Obama attended in the late 1960s." He attended that school for two years, according to his autobiography, after which he went to a Catholic school. Could it be that this disinformation was generated by the Right Wing, or generated to create a grander boogeyman?

High Profile Catholics in Washington, DC
It is interesting to note how many high profile Catholics there are appointed by the White House. (Note: Some of these czars may have changed.)

The list of Roman Catholics is apparently longer than this. The counterfeit Vatican bride is in place for the coming NWO, which is why it is so important that Pres. Obama, or the 2012 candidate, be Roman Catholic.

Coincidentally, Rome was the original name of a community within Prince George's County, Maryland, which would eventually become Washington, District of Columbia. Specifically, Rome was the original community name of Capitol Hill, upon which the United States Capitol Building sits. Truth is stranger than fiction!

Communitarianism: Collectivist Values in Transition - Part 2


Elite collectivist thinkers have a theory that individual rights have broken down the moral fiber of society.[1] Collectivists, through the Communitarian agenda, desire to create a new society within the shell of the old, with the philosophy of the new.

Communitarianism, also known as the Third Way:
  • is described as social cohesion that finds common ground, and is similar to nationalistic communism, or various forms of authoritarianism. 
  • Communitarian Elites believe that the rights of the individual must be balanced against the interests of society as a whole, which is detrimental to individual liberty. 
  • Communitarianism embodies a vision of a social order that encourages communal bonds. 
  • Both Democrats and Republicans push Communitarian policies, [2][3]


American sociologist and educator Amitai Etzioni was one of the prominent founders of this newly shaped philosophy. He believes that individuals have been given too much freedom and not enough responsibilities. Etzioni and other communitarians are in favor of more obligations and fewer rights.[4]They desire the community to live up to the basic principle of the good society. But as you will learn, it will only be good for those in charge.

 President Obama is a communitarian and longtime admirer of Dr. Etizioni.
Newt Gingrich is an admirer of Alvin Toppler, the founder of another philosophy similar to Etizioni's called the Third Wave. 

Documented Evidence
In the following videos, you will get a glimpse of this good society. Amitai Etizioni, a globalist, discusses the foundations of communitarianism. He explains his ideas of finding a balance between individual rights and the responsibilities to community. He desires a Democracy (not a Republic), a new Bill of Rights, and a sense of mutual tolerance. Etizioni says that if the government gives, then something must be given in return.


(YouTube link)

These ideas may be sound to some, but let's see where the rubber meets the road - individual rights. Amitai Etzioni debates the rights of terrorists with an expert on the U.S. Constitution. You should know that the type of personal rights Etzioni favors isn't any different than a socialist/communist country. I can still recall some of the socialist countries I traveled through during my time in the military. We were warned about countries whose governments could arrest you, throw you in jail, and then throw away the key with no hearing or trial. Etzioni is advocating the same throwing away the key.


(YouTube link)

These are his views on censorship of hate speech. He believes that planning a crime is same as committing it.


(YouTube link)

Lastly - his views of the National ID. Etzioni says we already have it - through our driver's license. The ACLU rep. says there will be a form of internally used passport system. Etzioni views it as being necessary for security.

Roots of Communitarianism
Few realize that communitarianism can be traced back to early Roman Catholic monasticism, and more recently to the Catholic Worker movement (for social justice issues and it has Jesuit connections).[5] Based on research recorded on Oxford University Press site:
"In visionary and perfectionist Christian social thought the monastery, conceived of as orderly, simple and harmonious, has often stood as an institutional ideal. In high Anglican and Catholic Christian socialist tradition there is an emphasis on the special role and contribution to the wider world of individuals living in sacramental communities - a sacramental point can also be the base for effective social action. Communion, realized in community, gives individuals in turn a generalizable ideal for social relations - which ideal according to Christian socialists like F.D. Maurice and Thomas Mirfield, could be realized through Socialism. This ideal of community goes hand-in-hand with 'kingdom theology' - the project of realizing the kingdom on God on earth."
All of this fits in with Rick Warren's P.E.A.C.E. Plan and the U.N. Millennial Development goals, where Christians will give their service to world mission projects. It uses the framework once used by the Roman Catholic church, who is actually shaping this. This global mission project is one being put together by the World Council of Churches, who is a participant observer in the civic and religious progress of globalization. This shift has been influencing the thinking of churches and theologians from within its ranks of a global society."[6]

 Rick Warren's plan

A Spiritual Perspective
This system of service and volunteering is a concept similar to the fellowship of Christian believers in Acts 2. We read about the saints selling their possessions and giving the proceeds to those believers in need. They shared meals with one another, their lives were interconnected, and they were single at heart. They drew on the strength Christ gave them.


With this socialism/communitarianism plan, the group works together within a community in a similar manner - but the government takes the place of God. The members of the group are not accountable to their maker, rather the state/federal government. It follows then that if you want to be a member of the group, you must give up your individual rights to gain protection from the group/government.

It is actually an antichrist system, since this group concept is a counterfeit to the real deal. Communitarians borrow ideas not only from Christianity, but also from ancient religions, Plato, Marx, Jefferson, Buber, and Madame Blavatsky.

But it doesn't end there. Amitai Etzioni  wants to use the goals of Christian Reconstructionism and Dominionism to replace the modern criminal code of the United States with Mosaic Law. [6] In turn, the Seven Laws of Noah, a set of moral imperatives that, according to the Talmud, were given by God as a binding set of laws for the "children of Noah" – will be set in place. This will be the final system of law, when it is all said and done. (See this post for more)

The Year 2020
By the year 2020, we will be well on our way to living in a new global community. Nikki Raapana wrote about this in her book "2020: Our Common Destiny". This is what she had to say about communitarianism.


(YouTube link)

Does this coincide with what others in think tanks are saying? Yes, Jeremy Rifkin [7]explains that we are in the middle of a perfect storm. There are three sets of crisis our world is facing, and it is imperative that we get a plan for the future.


(YouTube link)

There are facilitators working in our local communities preparing for the transition into the new world. It isn't only happening in the U.S., but other key countries around the world, as well. The plan is called Vision 2020, it works hand-in-hand with the governments emissions target, and every city is being asked to provide their goals for sustainability. Here is one example of a Vision 2020 plan from Cheshire county, New Hampshire.

 (Click on image to read.)

You will learn that it is all being done under the guise of a sustainable community. As you will see in this site in the UK - it all being done for our well-being. They are pouring money into rebuilding the infrastructure of our cities.  These projects include transportation systems (roads, bridges, highways, public transportation, etc.), sewage system, utility systems (gas, electricity, water treatment and delivery), and its buildings (schools, court houses, sports facilities, and its public and private housing developments). Environmental risks are repaired, energy efficiency and plans for future community agriculture are addressed. Only one community discussed what was going to be required of each citizen, but that will be addressed later - for obvious reasons.

As we draw closer to that time, the Great Transition will take place. Not only will they transition communities, but they will transition every citizen from thinking of as an individual, to having him think about the collective.


In Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Lee Brain addressed a transition session. He also recruited members from the meeting to form the initiating [New Age word] transition team.


(YouTube link)

Conclusion
We can look forward to reform of all types. More food will be grown locally to support local communities, we will largely become vegetarian, and walking and bicycles will become the way to travel. The Elites say it will be for the betterment of humans and the earth, but it is all based upon a lie. This new type of global society will be provided a daily dose of propaganda, and they will be manipulated and controlled. The citizens of this global community will have no voice - the true peace the global government was looking for. The boogeyman of global warming and the need for a sustainable planet lurks behind every change being made. We will be told that our contribution to the group-cause claims will enable us to continue to live on this planet. Just as the Jamestown experiment went bad, so will this one.

Vatican Lies about the Catholic Roots of King James Bible


Vatican City (CNA/EWTN News).- A new interfaith exhibition that opens this week at the Vatican reveals how the roots of the 1611 King James Bible are almost entirely Catholic – despite the fact that the translation was often viewed as a highpoint of Protestant European culture.

“If it had not been for the Catholics of the 1500s there would be no King James Bible,” exhibition organizer Cary Summers told CNA.

“Many of the original Bibles that formed the basis of the King James Bible came from Catholic priests. Very few changes were made. The ancient writings that the King James writers actually mimicked and copied were by Catholic priests,” he explained.

The “Verbum Domini” (Word of the Lord) exhibition runs from March 1 to April 15, coinciding with the seasons of Lent and Easter. The organizers describe it as a “highly contextual, interactive format” exhibit that aims to celebrate “the dramatic story of the Catholic contribution of the most-banned, most-debated, best-selling book of all time.”

They have also collected rare Jewish, Protestant and Orthodox artifacts to manifest a “shared love of God’s word” [common ground] that exists among those religions. For that reason, the first room visitors enter is a scaled reproduction of the mid-third-century Synagogue of Dura Europos in Syria. Another exhibition highlight is the earliest known fragment of the book of Genesis, which comes from the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Summers gave CNA a preview tour of the exhibition on Feb. 22. The exhibition takes visitors through eight galleries, and concludes with a replica of the Jerusalem Chamber in London’s Westminster Abbey, the place where the King James Bible was completed 400 years ago.

“Most people don’t understand the history of the King James Bible. There is a rich history, a very positive history of Catholic contribution to the creation of it,” Summers said.

The King James Bible was commissioned by King James VI & I in 1604, only a year after the Scottish monarch ascended to the throne of England. A copy of the book was gifted to Pope Benedict XVI earlier this month by the current U.K. prime minister, David Cameron. (Continue reading)


In the attempt to draw Protestants back to the Roman Catholic church, by finding 'common ground', they feel it is important to change history to help improve their image. It is their feeble attempt to appear legitimate. The truth is that the KJV was taken from previous translation works, then perfected by 54 Greek and Hebrew scholars from the Church of England, being made up of different factions.

It is estimated that about 90 percent of the New Testament in the 1611 King James Bible was the work of Tyndale [1], the translation that caused him to be declared as a heretic and burned at the stake by the Catholic church.[2] The Catholic Church "eliminated the competition" by burning all of the original Vulgates along with their owners. It was the Vatican's way, since they were opposed to members reading interpretations the Bible apart from the teaching authority of the Church. Nothing changed after the KJV was published.

The following trailer gives you a dramatized depiction of how it all came down.

Franklin Graham: In His Father's Footsteps

"...have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Ephesians 5:11

Franklin Graham is following closely in his famous father’s footsteps, although he is a little bit better at protecting his image. He says all the right things to keep the Evangelicals happy, yet there is a side of him that shows he's very similar to good ole' dad.

In this video, Franklin is being interviewed by Bill O'Reilly. He gives a great gospel presentation, although  O'Reilly makes the point that you must be born again.


(YouTube link)

Franklin goes from the frying pan into the fire. In this more recent interview by MSNBC (below), Franklin endorses two Roman Catholics: Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, calling them Christian (a false grace plus works system). 

Jesuit Knight of Malta (2004) Rick Santorum - who received endorsements from fellow globalist-minded Council of National Policy members when he ran for the Senate - is considered a Christian "by his fruit [works]" - says Franklin. You should know that:
"Franklin Graham told The Indianapolis Star that his father’s ecumenical alliance with the Catholic Church and all other denominations “was one of the smartest things his father ever did” (“Keeping it simple, safe keeps Graham on high” The Indianapolis Star, Thurs., June 3, 1999, p. H2).[1]
David Cloud, Way of Life, provides all the documentation of Franklin's ecumenical activity. He clearly has the same one single visible Church goals as his father, and the Catholic church.

This version of the interview is an analysis from the network's full version.


(YouTube link)

Franklin, who is highly respected by the sheeple and hated by the Illuminati-controlled media, clearly overlooks the bad fruit of these two "Catholic Christians." Santorum's secret society involvement and Gingrich's Third Way (plus a 33rd degree Mason) is conveniently overlooked and of no consequence.

"For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." Romans 16:18

The Reach of Government into the Church: The Mandate Debate

Glenn proudly wears his world government promoting Masonic patch 
during one of his televised programs on FoxTV.

Knowing that Glenn Beck is a member of a secret society, we shouldn't be surprised when he promotes that all faiths should find "common ground" in God to fight for our Constitutional religious freedoms. He did it at the  Divine Destiny event in Washington, DC, then in Jerusalem at the Restoring Courage event when he encouraged all faiths to stand with Israel.

 Ecumenical event in Washington, DC where faiths found false 'common ground'.

This round of his shenanigans has us finding "common ground" with Catholics. Perhaps as an attempt to provide us a preview into what will occur in the future, Beck writes in a Washington Times article:
"I am a proud member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but today, I call myself a Catholic. Why? Because the state is telling the Catholic Church to violate its principles and teachings. So if you are a person of faith, you must call yourself a Catholic."  
This most recent publicity campaign was created by Beck after the Obama administration created a contraception mandate upon church-affiliated hospitals, colleges and institutions. Obama's mandate provides contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs in nearly all health plans. This, Beck believes, is a direct attack on the freedom of religious practice, and an infringement on the citizens' right to refuse to participate in actions that their conscience deems wrong.

He is so serious about this fight for religious freedom, that he made a trip to the Vatican. While he was in that area of the world, he also stopped in Europe. "He was invited to address Tea Party leaders from numerous countries to discuss the creation of an international peace and freedom movement. Both of these initiatives – one focusing on the freedom of religious expression and the other on peace and prosperity – will result in massive and influential international coalitions."[1] We'll have to wait to see what this develops into, knowing that the Tea Party in the US is supported by the Fascist conservative right wing.

Beck meets the newly elevated Cardinal Timothy Dolan (Archbishop of New York) in the Vatican.

This mandate was originally signed by Obama because Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius made the recommendation, because it hinders a woman's right to choose. Does anyone else feel that there is something other than women's rights up Obama's sleeve? The mandate was clearly a violation of our religious freedom, but why would he sign such a controversial mandate during an election year? Was it really that he wanted the religious community to find common ground with outspoken Catholics? It's not as though the Obama administration is forcing the one child mandate, or that all women are being forced to use contraception.

 "I envision a New World on the horizon."

Evangelical Letter to Obama
Thousands of pastors and evangelical leaders have joined Roman Catholics in opposing President Obama's contraception coverage mandate. More than 2,500 evangelicals signed the ecumenical letter urging the president to reverse the requirement that church-affiliated groups carry insurance providing free birth control, including morning-after pills and sterilization. 

"This is not a Catholic issue," Family Research Council President Tony Perkins (CNP) told the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville, Tenn.. The letter was endorsed by Richard Land (CFR), and the others sought to assure Obama they are in solidarity with Roman Catholics. Other signers of the letter included:
  •  Leith Anderson - president of the National Association of Evangelicals; 
  • Colby May - senior counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice; 
  • Tom Minnery - senior vice president of Focus on the Family; 
  • Stanley Carlson -Thies, president of the Institutional Religious Freedom Alliance; 
  • Nathan Diament - Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America; 
  • Abba Cohen - Agudath Israel of America; 
  • Samuel Rodriguez - president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference; 
  • Ron Sider - president of Evangelicals for Social Action; 
  • Paul Corts - president of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities.
Also signing were the heads of the:
  • Association of Gospel Rescue Missions, 
  • Christian Community Development Association, 
  • Christian Legal Society and Prison Fellowship Ministries
  • The presidents of four schools affiliated with Baptist state conventions -- David Olive of Bluefield College, William Fleming of Palm Beach Atlantic University, Samuel Oliver of East Texas Baptist University and Lee Royce of Mississippi College – signed the letter as well.
 There’s no telling how the situation will end, since the Church seems adamant about its refusal to comply.

'Common Ground' Between Theosophists and Christians?


Origin of 'Common Ground'
Christian reunification has been the objective of church organizations, such as: the World Council of Churches, the National Council of Churches USA, along with several others. Ecumenical cooperation has been encouraged among Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, and Roman Catholics. During one of these regularly scheduled ecumenical events, various denominations teach their respective traditions and, at the same time, seek for common ground between these traditions.[1]

One of the primary forces steering ecumenical unity is the Vatican. Great strides were made by Pope John Paul II, since he voiced hope that since the second 1000 years was the millennium of Christian disunity, the third 1000 years would bring unity with the Protestant church. [2] Of course he means being reunited, since this has been the goal since the Reformation. The only way that would happen would be for Protestants to forget about their differences, and compromise the Word of God. How would a move toward compromise be made?

The Pope with the head of the Anglican Church and the head of the Greek Orthodox Church. 80% of Christianity was represented at this event for Christian dialogue.

Georg Hegel developed a comprehensive philosophical framework for social solidarity. Hegel (1770 – 1831) was an occultist, who laid the foundation for Communist brainwashing. Today, his transformational process is being used to change churches, as well as: politics, education, business, and communities.


This system aims to criticize all points of view and to synthesize them into one unified result. The dialectic method uses dialogue between two or more people or groups holding different points of view, then conditions them to accept the compromise. [3] Since the dialectic process has been used in the Church by the introduction of the social gospel, old fashioned Christian ways of separation are quickly being changed and replaced by modern ideas of erasing lines between denominations. All of this is being done to ease the Church back under the Pope, then the next step of creating one religion.

The process goes like this:
  1. Dialogue is started between the groups with opposing ideas.
  2. Seek "common ground" in the midst of religious diversity.
  3. Show respect, tolerance, and appreciation for all beliefs and values - unless they reflect Biblical truth.
  4. Train everyone to share their feelings, listen with an empathetically, then identify opposing views.
  5. Introduce a compromise, in a way that participants will accept the change.
 Pope John Paul II gathered with leaders of false religions for a day of reflection,  
dialogue and prayer for peace and justice.

'Common Ground' with Theosophists
Willis Harman, is a Luciferian Theosophist, served as president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and is considered a metaphysical futurist. He taught during a conference heavily attended by leading Evangelicals for the purpose of finding "common ground" with Theosophists. These Consultations were attended by mainstream evangelical leaders, and they were sponsored by the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College. The second conference in 1979 titled, "Continuing Consultation on Future Evangelical Concerns" was summarized in a book An Evangelical Agenda: 1984 and Beyond.

According to the Chairman of the conference, Hudson T. Armerding, the President of Wheaton College, "We learn that the purpose of the conference was to “enlarge the vision of God’s people and enable them to have a still more effective stewardship of time and opportunity in these critical days.” Upon analysis, the conference transcripts suggest that they valued "common ground".

This Consultation represents one of the first publicly-disclosed occasions where Evangelicals and New Agers met together to address common ground. Is it possible that this event marked the beginning of the public phase of the integration of Theosophy with Christianity? Perhaps so, when you consider the proposals made by Willis Harman were to integrate the psychic into Christianity to create a new synthesized "truth."
 
 An ancient religious symbol used by the Nazi Party, a fertility ankh, and 6-pointed star make up the Theosophical Society logo.

Willis Harman's presentation to the evangelical leaders called for a “new” science, which he had termed “noetic” science, a Gnostic science, based on his research into the paranormal and the human brain. He listed such things as hypnosis, remote viewing, precognition, psychokinesis and psychic phenomena. He called for more scientific research into the “the world of inner experience,” meaning psychic phenomena. All this could create a future utopia.[4]
In the years to come, many of the evangelical leaders who attended these Consultations would go on to work on inventing new theologies. They initiated projects that would re-shape Christian theology into these futuristic and esoteric images of man and his destiny.[5]

These leaders attended one or more of the conferences and were well-known at the time. Many are still alive and active in Evangelical Church. It makes you wonder if they were uncomfortable participating in this event that is diametrically opposed to Christianity.
The Big: Why?
It is important to Theosophy, and these counterfeit Christians, that true believers accept their Cosmic/Masonic (New Age) Christ. It will help to create the paradigm shift they so fondly speak of. Certain Christian colleges have been created with the express purpose of promoting mysticism and accept New Age ideas. These same schools are accepting the newer versions of the Bible where New Age language is introduced. Theosophy and Christianity are slowly being drawn together and we can thank the Christian Masons for this - which is what Billy Graham has publicly displayed, but publicly denied.

Devil's Claw Masonic pose

How many believers will take the bait?

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."
2 Cor. 11:13-15

“But there were false apostles also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you; whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3

The Apostles Creed: An Ecumenical Fish Hook

John H. Armstrong, founder of the leadership ministry called ACT 3, discusses the "Apostles Creed" and the line that reads, "I believe in One Holy catholic Church."


(YouTube link)

The Creed of the Apostles is one of the oldest catechisms of the Roman Catholic church. It was written to  Pope Siricius in about AD390. It remains common to churches of both East and West to this day. Many believe the Creed of the Apostles should always kept and preserved undefiled, [1] but most Evangelicals have dismissed its value, although the Emergent church is attempting to pump life into it.

There are deficiencies in the creed in that central doctrines are not expressed, and inerrancy and authority of scripture is never mentioned.[2] Each line is a pledge to what a Catholic believes, but many Protestant/Evangelical Christians have problems with the line "I believe in One Holy catholic Church." I was once assured that the word catholic, since it is in a lower case c, actually means universal. But even with this change in meaning, you have to wonder if the common confession will be used as a creed by the papacy to draw together the one universal religion.

Paul says Christians are to be unified in spirit, not in organization; and unified by the Words of our great God. But if the words of a creed join together believer and unbeliever, all it has done is accomplish the purpose of the enemy, who sows tares among wheat.

Wheaton College Welcomes Secret Society Archbishop of Chicago


Cardinal Francis George is the spiritual leader of 2.3 million Chicago-area Catholics, and he's up to his elbows in ecumenical activity. On March 26, 2012, Reformed pastor John Armstrong and Archbishop of Chicago Cardinal George will come together at Wheaton College for “A Conversation on Unity in Christ’s Mission.” One of their shared interests has been a greater conversation between the Evangelical community and the Catholic Church.


Just as with every ecumenical event, the Jesuits are always standing in the wings, and this event isn't any different. This is because the Cardinal  is a member of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and the Grand Prior of the North Central Lieutenancy of the United States for the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. He is also a member of the American Catholic Philosophical Association - an organization that has an interest in the metaphysics of mysticism and the phenomena of occultism.[1]

Who is Dr. John H. Armstrong?
Dr. Armstrong is founder and president of ACT 3, a ministry for equipping leaders for unity in Christ's mission. He is former pastor and church-planter, and he also has a writing ministry. Dr. Armstrong is an adjunct professor of evangelism at Wheaton College Graduate School, teaches in various seminaries and colleges as a guest lecturer, and is a seminar and conference speaker throughout the United States and abroad. He is noted for building bridges between the Roman Catholic and Evangelical Church for the purpose of missions and ecumenical unity.

Note the four triquetra within a Maltese cross. Freemasonry espouses universalism, embraces religious pluralism, and has effectively created a unique syncretistic religion.

The Church with a Mission
We would be deceived if we believed that coming together for missions was the only thing the Catholic church had in mind. There are many things wrong with this ecumenical plan for unity, and the two leaders who plan to speak at this conference.
  1. The Knights of Malta, controlled by Jesuits and the organizations Cardinal George belongs to, are responsible for helping thousands of the worst Nazis and members of the SS escape to freedom down these Ratlines, thus evading justice and avoiding the hangman’s noose at Nuremberg. They also seek to create a counter-Reformation and bring Christ's Church under a pagan Baal-worshiping Pope. Jesuits believe the Pope is Christ on Earth, and that he is infallible in matters of religion - which is blasphemy.
  2. One of the aspects of the Emergent church teachings, which is conveyed through Dr. Armstrong's writing, is that of Missional living. Missional living is a term that describes a missionary lifestyle; adopting the thinking, behaviors, and practices of a missionary in order to engage others with the Gospel message. Based on a Wikipedia author, the five distinctives that form the foundation of the missional perspective are:
  • The Church is sent by Jesus Christ  
  • The Church is sent with the Cross
  • The Church is sent in Community
  • The Church is sent to every Culture 
  • The Church is sent for the King and His Kingdom
These points are all essentially true, but the United Nations and the apostate church are accomplishing this plan with the help of the Church, which makes it an act of World Socialism, aka world government. It will deliver a Christ-less form of Christianity.
    The artwork that coincides with the plan looks like this:

    A Missional Perspective.JPG

    Do you see any similarity with the symbol used on the cover of Dr. Armstrong's The Unity Factor, the New Age symbol on the cover on Marilyn Ferguson's The Aquarian Conspiracy, and the triquetra of the "Third Way", also known as Fascism? Note that the center of the triquetra is used for the Illuminati triangle. This should be a clear indication that the modern way of missional living is a counterfeit to Biblical Christianity's missions work.

    Let's look at this symbol again. The three intertwining circles also have the numbers 6-6-6 within them.

      3. Wheaton College is a breeding ground for future Emergent church leaders. Wheaton gave us Rob Bell, Billy Graham, Josh McDowell, John Piper, as well as some other controversial ecumenical Christians. They have endorsed Freemason Billy Graham's Emergent Lausanne Movement, and are involved with the practice of mystical Contemplative prayer. The conference is based in one of the most socialist cities in the country, which is why they can find "common ground" and cooperation with the Roman Catholic church.
    Conclusion
    This type of information is always disturbing. We are watching the Church go down the tubes.

    The Bible says, "...while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also" (Matthew 13:25).


    Many believers are beginning to wake up to find the Church has been infiltrated by Jesuits, and those who have been intentionally tearing the Church apart. They call it unity, but it's actually intended to have the opposite effect. 

    To those of us who are awake, the Lord says in verses 16, 17: "But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them." This indicates that not everyone will be capable of having the spiritual sight as others do. Since they don't, you'll feel a little crazy for being able to see what others can't.

    It is clear that these tares are the greatest work of Satan. Surprisingly, Jesus tells us not to worry about them. He said, "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, 'Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.'"

    But does this mean that we should never say anything about the apostasy, or were these verses intended for  those close to the time of the harvest? Remember that Romans 16:17-18 says, to   "... mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." 

    I want to suggest that we speak while we still have the freedom to do so, and since the Bible instructs to mark them and avoid them. We certainly aren't supposed to picket their churches, rather make others aware of what is going on in a respectable manner. The worse they are, the more we will need to watch them. Their words seem to reflect holiness and love for God, and they show kindness and love to those they instill their corrupt doctrines, while accosting them courteously when they intend them the greatest mischief. When you see this, you'll understand that the master they serve is not our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Jesuit Infiltration of the Evangelical Church

    "I do further declare that I will help, assist, and advise all or any of His Holiness agents in any place wherever I shall be; and to do my utmost to extirpate [exterminate] the heretical Protestant doctrine, and to destroy all their pretended power." 
    ~Excerpt from the Jesuit Oath

    The Jesuit Order was created to combat and overthrow the Protestant Reformation. It was founded as a military order by Ignatius of Loyola in 1534, and still exists as a secret society today. Over the years, their ultimate mission has continued to be the return of separated brethren (Protestants) back to the Catholic fold.

    Many Christians who have considered themselves as Evangelicals, have been waking up to learn that the Roman Catholic church has infiltrated the Evangelical church. The Evangelical/Protestant church is being drawn seductively into the Roman Catholic church, and Jesuit-trained infiltrators are determined to convert Protestants back to the Mother Church.

    Modern Christianity has been sold a bill of goods concerning who the Roman Catholics are, so they have largely forgotten the importance of the Protestant Reformation of the 1500’s. Let's look at just a couple of examples of how this looks in the Church today.

    Going Down the Chuck Smith Rabbit Trail
    Wikipedia describes Chuck Smith as the "senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa and the founder of the Calvary Chapel movement. Beginning with the 25-person Costa Mesa congregation in 1965, Smith's influence now extends to thousands of congregations worldwide, some of which are among the largest churches in the United States." You would assume that a man with this would have impact on the lives he touches in his congregation. Taking this into account, let's listen to the following video. Pastor Chuck explains to the caller that "Catholics are basically Christian too."

    As many know, Chuck Smith was an integral part in taking in many of those who were in the hippie lifestyle and helped to lead them to Christ. Few know that Pat Matrisciana, a CIA operative - and later a member of the Council for National Policy - helped to start the Jesus Movement at Calvary Chapel. Chuck and others on the ministry team broke tradition of the Church and made Christianity palatable to their hippie converts and coming generations. Chuck Missler also helped launch this church into the deception machine that has systematically dumbed-down Christianity worldwide.

    But that was years ago. Is there any evidence of Jesuit infiltration today? Yes.
    • Calvary was the center of some controversy when Lt.Gen Jerry Boykin was invited to speak there. Boykin is an initiated member of the secret society Knights of Malta, but that didn't seem to phase their church. 
    • The second biggy is the use of Jesuit materials being sold through one of the Calvary Chapel churches. Not to mention the NWO sun logo in their webpage where Steve Berger pastors, the bookstore is full of Jesuit books. Note that one of these books includes, Praying with the Jesuits: Finding God in All Things.


    Going Down the Norman Geisler Rabbit Trail
    Norman Geisler is a Christian apologist and the co-founder of Southern Evangelical Seminary outside Charlotte, North Carolina, where he formerly taught. He holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from Jesuit Loyola University. Geisler is well known for his scholarly contributions to the subjects of Christian apologetics and philosophy. He is a moderate Calvinist and has authored/coauthored/or editor of over 60 books and hundreds of articles.[1]


    List of Offenses
    According to his website, he joined the American Philosophical Society in 1968 and is still a member. The "Philosophical Society" was founded in 1743 by Benjamin Franklin, along with co-founder John Bartram - who were both interested in the occult sciences. Based on Chris Pinto's production Riddles in Stone (3:35 on video), historically, the "American Philosophical Society was operated by the same tradition as the "Royal Society" in England, which was based on Sir Frances Bacon's Rosicrucian concept of the "Invisible College."

    "The "Invisible College" was a group of men with advanced knowledge of medieval occultism, derived from the Knights Templar or other secret societies of the Middle Ages."[2]

    With that under Norm's belt, Ross Rhoads, a former evangelist and Pastor of Calvary Church in Charlotte, helped Norm found the Southern Evangelical Seminary in 1992.[3] But there is more...
    • Ross was a member of the Council of 56 - which is a Religious Roundtable made up of CNP members and joined to leading evangelicals and the CIA, the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, Freemasonry, and the Bilderberg group.[4] 
    • Ross also has ties to New Ager Billy Graham, since Ross once pastored Calvary Presbyterian Church. In 1973, Ross commenced his pastorate at Calvary Church, and Billy Graham was keynoter for the installation services. Billy's father was a founding elder of this church. Ross is presently a member of Billy Graham's ministry.[5][6]
    Norman has taught at some of the top seminaries in the United States, including Trinity Evangelical and Dallas Seminary. He is currently a Professor of Apologetics at Veritas Evangelical Seminary in Murrieta, CA.[7] It is interesting to note another Calvary Chapel connection. In the first annual Veritas Evangelical Seminary Apologetics Conference in November 2011, lectures were given by Ravi Zacharias, Norman Geisler, Chuck Smith, Ergun Caner, Lee Strobell, Ron Rhoads, Greg Koukl and others.[8]

    Norm has also been a contributing editor with David Noebel's Summit Ministries[9], and there are many of his books being sold in the site. David Noebel, formerly a CNP member, a former member of the John Birch Society, and ironically a member of the American Philosophical Society, teaches Christian worldview - and was there at the ground floor with Brannon Howse and his Worldview Weekend Conferences. Norm Geisler has spoken at Brannon's conferences as well, and has a number of articles in his site.

     
    Brannon and Dr. Noebel held the first Worldview Weekend together in January 1993.

    Another curious connection is how Norm is connected to the web of attacks by Evangelical ministries that tried to discredit the tell-all testimony documented in Chick publications by ex-Jesuit priest Alberto Rivera Romero, and the testimony of a former witch.  The researcher was Gary Metz, who once worked for Walter Martin - and also had close ties to Norm.

    One of the claims of the ex-Jesuit can be seen on this page of the tract.


    So, what's Norm's purpose for infiltrating the Church?
    1. He is a proponent of Dispensational Premillennialism viewpoint, which includes the pretribulation rapture theory fabricated by the Jesuits, and his ecumenical viewpoints. This is unlike historic Premillennialism, which places the return of Christ just before the millennium and just after a time of great apostasy and tribulation. 
    2. Then, in his book Roman Catholics and Evangelicals: Agreements and Differences, he wrote the following:
    • "Catholics and evangelicals share a common core of beliefs about salvation. ... For both groups salvation is by grace and is not prompted by human works. It comes as a gift of God to undeserving humanity" (pp. 81, 103, 104).
    • "Since evangelicals and Roman Catholics have so much in common doctrinally and morally ... we believe that there are, nonetheless, many areas of common spiritual heritage and practical social and moral cooperation possible. ... In this final section we wish to end on a positive note, firmly believing that a cooperative effort between Roman Catholics and evangelicals could be the greatest social force for good in America. ... Our common doctrinal and moral beliefs are too large, and the need in America for a united voice on them is too great for us to dwell on our differences to the neglect of crucial cooperation needed to fight the forces of evil in our society and our world. ... Even the most reactionary of Protestant fundamentalists has more in common with Cardinal John O'Connor and John Paul II than with Joan Campbell and John Spong" (pp. 357, 358).
    • "Perhaps evangelicals felt a bit guilty when they realized they were 'Johnnie-come-latelies,' given the fact that Roman Catholics had been alert to the moral dimensions of the problem while their evangelicals neighbors were spiritually asleep" (p. 360).[10]
    Norm seems to see definite differences between the two faiths, but he still sings an ecumenical tune.
      Are Catholics Christian?
      Roman Catholicism contains a number of doctrines which Protestants view as unbiblical, such as the doctrine of Transubstantiation, the veneration and intercession of deceased saints, prayers for the dead, purgatory, the immaculate conception and bodily assumption of Mary, and papal infallibility.[11] Most importantly, in order for a Catholic to be saved, you must obey the seven sacraments of the church - so you are at the mercy of the church and works of righteousness in order to be saved.

      Several pages later.

      Conclusion

      The tangled web of the Jesuit infiltrated church.

      In the Book of Revelation, the Apostle John tells the tale of two women. One is those in the true faith and doctrine, and committed to Christ. Revelation 17 pictures another woman. Now we have the opposite picture. Who is this woman in scarlet riding on a Beast? Mystery Babylon is a church, but which one? [12] Note that an unfaithful Church commits spiritual adultery. Isn't this what the Pope is doing by joining the Roman Catholics with the false religions of the world, and adopting pagan symbolism?


      Roman Catholicism is a false religion with Christian symbolism. It has a long history of close relationships with the state and government in power. It will be the pagan religion of the New World Order, and Fascist in every way. The authoritarian false church fits neatly in with the authoritarian state. It is Mystery Babylon, the Mother of Harlots - and the Evangelical church has been prepped by false ideas.
