These Lying Times....Living Without Discernment in America (Part 3)
These Lying Times....Living Without Discernment in America (Part 3)

False doctrines have existed since before the days of Jesus Christ and can be easily traced to Ancient Egypt, the Assyrians, and Babylon, but it really all began with Satan deceiving Eve. That same lie is still being told today and it has fostered a variety of false doctrines, but they all have one thing in common. None are true to Scripture. Due to lack of discernment, we find Christians straying from Truth, deceived and following false teachings. Because these teachings are often clothed in Christianity and embody Scriptural references, shallow and undiscerning Christians embrace these beliefs of a distorted gospel.
One of the more recent false doctrines is that of the "Emerging Church." Brian McLaren is credited with it's growth among Christians. So many of these 'movements' are little more than cults, serving a poisonous kool-aid, but they are gaining many followers. Liberalism over rides absolute truth. User-friendly messages undermine God's Word. Not only is the failure to 'stick to the Bible' a rebellion toward God, but leading Christians toward a 'different' god is a great tragedy, that renders horrific results.
Oddly, even in some of the more conservative and respectable churches we see that Yoga classes are a part of their arsenal to attract new members as well as to offer such 'exercises' to current members. It seems of no concern that this very activity is of pagan origin and allows a pagan belief system into the church. Hinduism is the soul of Yoga and it is not Christian. Why are Christians bringing a practice of Hinduism into their churches? Yoga involves mimicking the serpents movements up the spine to the head as a way to unleash energy. It involves prayer and mediation to liberate the soul from the body and it is not only not approved by God, but we are warned against such practices. New Age teaching blends Eastern mysticism with Christian beliefs and calls it Christian, but it is not. Of course, those same Christians have no problem with witchcraft, such as Harry Potter, so it should not be surprising. Many are the churches who are straying away from Scriptural Doctrine. However, just because so many seem to think it is okay, does not make it okay. I doubt that God is going to excuse ignorance or lack of discernment. Are we going to plead on His Mercy at Judgement? "Oh Lord, I didn't know; it seemed innocent enough; my pastor thought it was okay. Don't blame me." I don't know exactly how God will deal with this, but I can imagine His Response. Can you? Practicing paganism can result in eternal separation from God.
There is not only a lack of spiritual discernment among Christians, but there is no discernment about what is going on in the world and in our government. Do you suppose there is a connection? Even among the most prolific and articulate Christian writers who seem so aware of evil works within our government, there still seems to exist a basic lack of discernment of the root causes. It is easy to recognize the symptoms and suffer the results of government gone awry, but if we can't get past the obvious and realize the cause, we are lacking in spiritual discernment. When we make our mission one of challenging government actions based on the issues that government itself offers us, we are falling into their hands. They intend to keep us asking the wrong questions and we do. They create the problems and offer solutions and encourage us to fight over those solutions. Thus, they control the debate and hide the facts that we should be addressing.
While most may know that I don't understand how a practicing Christian can become a part of the system as in holding an elected office, I do think we have to be involved and make our voices heard. The reason I don't think a Christian can be a part of the system is because it is a corrupt, thieving, socialist anti-christ system. It is a system of legalized theft to benefit the few and control everyone else. Where does a Christian fit into that? That does not mean we are not to voice our concerns and admonish evil doers and expose their evil doings. Living without discernment, we do not know what to do, nor what our roles should be, nor do we understand the root cause of the problems. Without discernment and without involvement there is no Christian influence to restrain the evil that is today making great strides. As such influence has waned, evil has flourished, and that is the true history of America to date.
America is under the control of satanic forces. Satan wants to eliminate every single Believer and Follower of Jesus Christ and will resort to any means to do so. What we see today is nothing more than Satan using men to exercise his will over a nation and over the world. He intends to control the world as a God. As man has deserted God, Satan has gained more control. A vacuum does not exist and no one straddles a fence. Even the true believer is beset with temptations. If we fall for the garbage being thrown at us on TV, we will find our own selfish weaknesses nagging at our most firm beliefs. I hear Christians complaining about the wealthy CEO's having their jets and huge salaries. Jealousy perhaps? I hear them express wishes that Obama will do something about that. They think government really ought to do something, and so it is, and so we all will suffer the consequences. Most don't know what fascism is, nor collectivism, and don't see anything wrong with socialism. Most just see what is, or may, affect them personally and that's their concern. Government is the only solution they know and they don't know that government is never the best solution and in such times as this, it is never a moral solution. They simply don't know how to live not depending upon government in some way. Discernment cannot exist in complete ignorance and selfishness. It can not exist within the practice of socialism. It does not exist in those in government. The world today cannot be understood without spiritual discernment but many Christians are trying to live without that discernment. As one lady said to me recently, "Don't tell me anything bad; I don't want to hear it. That's all we hear anymore and I just want to hear good things or I don't want to know about it." I suppose that is burying your head in the sand, so as not to see what may be happening to the body. I doubt that she'd find what she is seeking in God's Word, either. She is the type of person that likes those ear tickling feel good sermons, but don't mention hell. Don't tell her about God's Warnings.
According to Christian economist Gary North, "Everyone who believes in the efficiency of the so-called government-business alliance is a fascist. The fascist State was always an attempt to control private industry by means of inflation, taxation, and regulation. Fascism was always a system of keeping the big boys alive and happy at the expense of the taxpayers. Of course, the faces changed. The system was always one gigantic system of cartels, regulation, and fiat money." While Gary North understands the symptoms and obvious causes, he nevertheless seems unaware that there is any conspiracy that has brought this about by a larger plan. In fact, in some of his writings, he has scoffed at those who try to show how there is a much larger conspiracy of which the wrecking of the economy is only one part. I call his position "limited" discernment. Many learned men have defined and explained and warned, but to no avail. Public - Private Partnerships, Land Trusts, Sustainable Development, Smart Growth, Green Space, Zoning, you name it, they have it, all for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. Unfortunately, without discernment, many are their followers and supporters, little aware of this agenda to destroy property rights and our liberties. Costing millions of tax dollars, all these originated out of the United Nation's Agenda 21.
Society in America is constantly assaulted by paganism. Pagan symbols are everywhere. NBC, CBS, and ABC all have pagan logos, as do the mogul movie producers, and as do most of the large corporations. Our government buildings are adorned with pagan symbols. Many religions use pagan symbols and rituals.
Catholicism blended paganism with Christianity and calls it Christian. The New Age Movement mixes paganism with Christianity and sells it to Christians as Christian. Even Christian music has adopted a praise and worship format that is worthy of paganism. It is obvious to the discerning Believer that we are repeating history. The New Age is Old Age Babylon revived. It can be traced to Nimrod and Babel. It is the same spiritualism that began in the Garden. It changes its' faces over time but it is always that same old lie of 'ye can be like God.' It is a worship of the Creation with the Sun god at the top and everything else is god. Some occult historian has said that there are over 300 million gods involved in paganism. We have a government pagan to the core masquerading as Christian. They are not like us and if you can't see that for yourself in this day and time, you are blinded. As to whether you are blinded by ignorance that can be resolved, or blinded by God because you love not the truth, is your concern and not for me to say.
The world is blaming America for the current economic crisis and rightly so. The cabal of English bankers and their Masonic cohorts, their American puppets, intend to bring down the world and control it. There is a Satanic thread that can be followed throughout history and seen at work today. A knowledge of history cannot be fully understood without discernment. Without spiritual discernment, we are a lost and floundering people without a compass. The compass is available to all and found in Scripture, but spiritual discernment is a gift accessed by diligent study and growth in relationship with Jesus Christ, from Whom comes all understanding.
