“ Full of insight! ” Parachurch ministries like Campus Crusade (more like Campus Crusade for Counter Reformers now called Cru: Counter Reformation Union), Intervarsity, and many others are hellbent on undoing the Protestant Reformation. If there is one thing taught by parachurch ministries, since parachurch ministries are not authorized by Scripture, these parachurch ministries are propagating the false gospel known as the social gospel, the application of evangelical principles to social activism.
“ Useful things. ” I found useful things for me in this message. There are things with which I do not agree, but it was good to meditate to the glories of the new creation from the Word of God.
“ Popery: Spiritual Degredation ” I believe the spreading of Roman Catholicism to be the most horrible means of political and social degradation left in the world. -Charles Dickens
Roman Catholic predominance in society is the cause of political and social degradation in the entire world. The advancement of the Protestant Reformation, on the other hand, produces a generation of enlightened people capable of being productive citizens in society.
“ I found the correct Bible reference. ” I found a written form of Calvin's Ezekiel Lectures at the Christian Ethereal Library. The Bible reference Calvin referenced is Psalm 138:8, not Psalm 13:8 (which doesn't exist). Psalm 138:8 reads "The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: Forsake not the works of thine own hands."
“ Bible Reference is inaccurate ” The lecture references Psalm 13:8, but no such verse exists! I wonder what reference Calvin intended to give. Does anyone know?
“ Insightful! ” Insightful mention of Campus Crusade. The one thing that parachurch ministries like Campus Crusade, Intervarsity, Navigators, and many others share in common is that they will not plainly point out the false gospel of salvation through works propagated by the Roman Catholic Church. It is very evident that Campus Crusade and Intervarsity are trying to reverse the Protestant Reformation.
Jesus is God (Jehovah). The JW's deny Christ's deity, which makes them a cult that leads people to Hell. Anyone who does not believe that Jesus is God (Jehovah) shall die in their sins.
"I (Jesus - ed.) said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that *I am* he, ye shall die in your sins. (John 8:24, KJV).
Compare with:
"And God said unto Moses, *I Am* That *I Am*: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, *I Am* hath sent me unto you." (Exodus 3:14, KJV).

So true! Mankind just believes whatever without looking things up to see if they are being told the truth--knowing what God says, not what man tells us it says. The only people I've spoken to that has shown me from the Bible the answers to my questions has been Jehovah's Witnesses. And they're the only people who use God's name, and do their best to act like real Christians. Like Jesus taught us to be like. I've still got questions, but I want my answers to come from God's Word only. Thanks for your comment. I'm unable to quit thinking about doing more to be Christ like. '
I'm with you 100%. You're absolutely right! Neither Jesus--who'd birth date is unknown--nor the Apostles, early Christians, nor Hebrews (the Jews) celebrate Birthdays. I read that astrology, divination, magic, etc. are mixed in with this celebration. His Laws and Statues benefit us, not God. Christmas is another celebration that is of pagan origin, yet religious leaders stay quiet on these issues? Another one is most Christians won't use God's name either. YHWH is Yahweh, or in English: Jehovah. The Dead Sea Scrolls found Yahweh (YHWH) written throughout thousands of these scrolls. Jesus, and the first Christians used God's name. In Rev. the word, Hallelujah is used which means, 'Praise Jah'. (A shortened form of Yahweh) Around the 3rd century, Christian leaders began removing God's name from the Scriptures, so today, few people, other than, Jehovah's Witnesses, will even say His name. Know wonder so many have lost faith in a Creator. The Bible is so factual, Archaeologists use it to find ancient cities, etc. I want to be thankful for such a magnificent earth, heavens, various other creations, God made simply for humans to be content and happy. All He asked in return was our love and obedience, just as we want from our own children. Thanks for your comment.
“ Great Sermon! ” There is nothing wrong with creative techniques for proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The problem is that today's churches are trying to appear relevant by using certain elements of the culture like rock music. This is just diluting the Gospel. Please also remember that Superman (Clark Kent/Kal-El) is a so-called Kryptonian, an alien.
Why would any church want to market a sinful humanistic superhero like Superman? The idea of "Superman" is based on Friedrich Nietzsche's humanistic philosophy of the Übermensch.
“ Great Sermon! ” Satan, the father of all popes.
The pope is blasphemously referred to as "holy father". That title known as "Holy Father" belongs only to Abba Father, not the pope.
There is one person that the pope would refer to as his father. The father of the pope is Satan himself.
Remember,
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. (Matthew 23:9).
“ Insightful! ” Ponder this quote from Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
There has been spreading, in this country, and in other lands also, the idea of universal salvation; and, mark you, wherever that doctrine spreads, vice must and will spread as the natural and inevitable consequence. When men are taught to believe in ultimate universal salvation, their immediate and legitimate inference is, “Then we may live as we like, and all will come right in the end;” and they will live as they like, but all will not come right in the end! -Charles Haddon Spurgeon
What Charles Spurgeon was saying is that the false doctrine of inclusivism inevitably produces antinomianism. In today's inclusivistic churches and ministries, like the World Council of Churches, the Vatican, and many other liberal evangelical organizations, the Biblical Doctrine of God being The Righteous Judge is "unloving".
We must not compromise with inclusivism (the highest form of apostasy) for the sake of "universal harmony". Remember, evangelicals who promote inclusivism will give an account to The Lord for the destruction of souls caused by the false doctrine of inclusivism.
“ Insightful! ” Revelation 13 warns us about the coming of the Antichrist. During his one world religion, the masses will receive his mark, but those who refuse the mark of the Antichrist will face martyrdom. Those refusing the mark of the Antichrist are those whose Faith is in The Lord Jesus Christ.
“ Drunken with the blood of the saints ” The Roman Catholic Church is drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.
“ Analysis of the Cosmos ” I agree with you totally. However, we must not be ignorant to another group instrumental in strengthening the hand of Antichrist in the world (although he was always in the world – Gen 3:13), pressuring the masses into participating in his system.
Read the SA Weblog: “Trick or Treatment” exposing the origin of Halloween which I believe came long after the institution of Christmas. Both are the instruments of Romanism.
But have we taken a look at tourism of Jerusalem; the place where our Lord was crucified? Is this the only place where our Lord walked? What about Palestine?
If visiting Jerusalem, the Holy Land, gives Christians heebie geebies that bring them closer to the Lord, shouldn’t residents have the same experience?
Religion and politics, nationalistic Jews and religious Catholicism work hand-in-hand to keep people in dark wars. Continually hoodwinking God’s true believers and fostering contentions. Other tares of the Antichrist are among today’s Christian authors. They only wear out the flesh.
I really want to learn about these practices Christians participate in. Presently, I see them all as money-making machines.
