The glossy beauty parlor gospel

Some teachers claim the bride of Christ will be taken away before the trouble of the Great tribulation.

Dolls1
The beauty parlor gospel is not the true gospel. And badly bruised and marginalized churchwill eventuelly be raptured.

The Prosperity gospel claims the Church will not suffer agony and pain, but walk in victory and always be successful. Many teachers tell us that there are new seasons coming, and everyone with perfect faith can enjoy health and wealth in the last days.

The teachers of a pre tribulation rapture of the Church, use the bride of the book of Revelation as a picture on the Church. The message is that the Church has be presented beautiful, happy and spotless when she face the Messiah coming to take her home.

There are many problem with this message.

A Christian who in 2010 become a martyr, was not necessarily a pretty site. Its easy to conclude that a beaten, bloody and headless saint must have misunderstood the gospel of “fame, perfect health and wealth”.

John 3:29
The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.

Not even priceless amount of make up could have made such a perfect bride of Christ fit into a false “beauty queen doctrine”.

Luke 21:15-17
For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me.

In regards to focus, commitment, faithfulness to the persecuted Messiah, the martyr’s seems to have understood the Gospel. They have correctly rejected the false “beauty parlor gospel”, and become a living sacrifice for Jesus our Lord. Surely Blameless, and without spots.

What kind of worldly pleasure have the bide of Christ renounced?

Basically the bride has refused to become a “good looking prostitute”. Be aware that just before the wedding feast, the great prostitute, the Whore of Babylon will be exposed. She will surely be both rich and adored.

The exposure of both the bride of Christ and the great prostitute will take place inside the Great Tribulation, the very season of wrath from God.

Revelation 19
Hallelujah!
After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:
“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
for true and just are his judgments.
He has condemned the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.” And again they shouted:
“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”

The bride of Christ has not corrupted her self.

Revelation 19:6-8
Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

“Hallelujah! 
 For our Lord God Almighty reigns.

Let us rejoice and be glad 
and give him glory! 
For the wedding of the Lamb has come, 
 and his bride has made herself ready. 
Fine linen, bright and clean, 
was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)

(end of this scripture).

Its also worth to take notice of another bride, the New Heavenly Jerusalem:

Revelation 21:2
I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

Another problems with the “Bride in the sky” doctrine, is the Church being separated from Israel, who alone will suffer in the Great Tribulation.

That is a doctrine of true replacement theology. Israel alone will have to deal with the final antichrist.

The third problem with such doctrines, is that the Book of Revelation teach that there will be saints coming out of the Great Tribulation, that have been washed in the blood the Lamb. So obviously, both Israel and the Holy Spirit have been left behind when the Church was “taken away”.

The third question, is related to the need to take the bride away from the Earth. She will be separated for a wedding feast in Heaven, and later brought back to the Planet for the final judgment and separation.

If the Church is not coming back again from Heaven, Jesus has to take the goats with him to Heaven as well. This is neither in accordance with the scripture, nor is it logic. Since the separation of the righteous and the wicked will take place on Earth at the very end, the Church have to be present where the Holy Spirit has called her to be. With Him.

The doctrine of the pre tribulation rapture of a perfected and spotless bride, do require three comings of the Lord. One as the Lamb of God, one as the bridegroom, and one as the Lion of Judah.

In my Bible I can only read about two comings of the Messiah. I believe the coming of the Messiah as the bridegroom and the Lion of Judah will be one and the same.

We have to keep our oil burning, and keep enough oil. From the Apostolic age up towards our days, all Christians have been called to be ready for both a sudden coming of the Lord and a bumpy and painful ride ahead.

Lets take a deeper look, and use more scriptures from the book of Revelation. Please consider my objections based on the scripture.

Revelation 14:6
Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.

Revelation 12:17
Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring—those who obey God’s commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

Revelation 11:3-8
And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.

To those who proclaim that the book of Revelation must be read in chronological order, it must be noticed that the rapture is not taking place at the beginning of the book of Revelation. It comes after a lot of exposure, wrath and persecution in Chapter 11.

Revelation 11:11-12.
But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

In Revelation chapter 12, the story of the people of Israel is also revealed. Many of those events explained her, is linked to the preparation of the first coming of Jesus.

In conclusion:

The doctrine of the pre Great tribulation rapture of “the Church” and her wedding fest in Heaven, while another Church is formed inside the Great Tribulation, does not make sense.

Some examples of copies of “Jesus”

Will Jesus save everyone who claim they believe in Him?

A huge man made “Jesus”. An worthless idol. If it falls down, it will be broken into pieces.

Many people have voiced many opinions about how to understand salvation. The only valid explanation is found on the Bible. If you have followed a copy of Jesus, you have served Satan. Those who served Satan, will not be found in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew 7:22-24
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’  Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

First we need to acknowledge that there are multiple copies of Jesus around us.

2 Corinthians 11:4
For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.

Lets take a look at the most common of them.

1. Jesus of my own choice:Aliens coming with a "different gospel".
You might have heard people say something like: “I believe in Jesus, but do not believe there is a Hell”. Such a statement tells us that there must be a “hell bound” Jesus around. He is a lawless man, because such claims make Jesus of Nazareth a liar. The Bible says that there is a Hell.

Many people have even said a “sinners prayer” to this copy-cat, and claim they have been “born again”. I could have printed endless examples of people who believe in such a “Jesus”. Endless examples of personal opinions who contradict the Bible.

2. Jesus of Rome:

The Vicar of Christ  claims to be “The Holy Father”. Here he is kissing the Koran.

This copy-cat has many similarities with the above version. The only difference, is that this “Jesus” is “the Popes choice”. Only he can program him, with all kind of Catholic dogmas that contradict the scriptures.  The ultimate worshipers of skulls, bones and corpses are found in this cult.

3. Jesus the “Rich Messiah”:

Some preachers spin around money, like flies around cow dung.

This copy is an American copy of the Jewish Messiah. This “Jesus” was supposed to be rich on Earth, and all who believe in him is supposed to be richly blessed with material blessings. I also call this copy-cat the “ATM-Jesus”. Because to be able to take out the cash from the nearest ATM, you first need to put some money into the account of the preachers of the prosperity Gospel.

4. Jesus of the Koran:

Jesus of he Koran and Jesus of Rome are cousins. Bot copies of the true Messiah.

This copy of Jesus is not divine, but a mortal man. He was a fantastic teacher, and a brilliant prophet. But not at all the Son of God, equally God as His Father. He did not save anyone, could not even save him self from being crucified.

5. Jesus of Jehova’s witness:

False witnesses. Ready to come to knock on your door.

This cult claims only God is the Alpha and Omega, the creator. “Jesus” was His first creation, and not a co-creator.  Since the Bible says we shall only worship the creator, this Jesus copy claim that worship of him is a sin. Do not even pray in his name.

6. Jesus of the Mormons:

After a couple of free coffee’s, they will come up with another Bible.

The Bible is not the only inspired book, that reveals the truth about who God is. Jesus of the Mormons have added another Bible, that was revealed to a prophet in America, 1700 years after Jesus died on the cross in Jerusalem.

This copycat make you a product of relativism. Anything might be permissible. There might be a lot of undiscovered “Holy books”.

7. Jesus of the New Age:

A copy of Jesus, and Krishna hand in hand. Both can save, claim Hindus and New Age.

New Ager’s have a Jesus-copy. He is only one God among many, and one gate among many gates to the Kingdom of Heaven. New Age is basically not new at all. Its is the oldest of the religions who are present on Earth today. It is called Hinduism.

8. Jesus outside the prophetic word.

Some followers of this copy-cat “Jesus” hates the Jews, and curses Israel.

This is the Jesus Only, a  Messiah of the New Testament Only. This cult claims that There is not much interesting found about him in the Old Testament. He do not pay attention to the prophetic Word, or His Fathers eternal promises, and is absolutely not behind the restoration of Israel.

Jesus of Nazareth:

Jesus is the Word of God. The truth about Him can only be found in the Bible.

The true Jesus of Nazareth is the Word of God, explained to us in the Biblical canon. This canon was closed by The Holy Spirit. All who have reopened the cannon, have committed a not forgivable sin against the Holy Spirit. The cults are doomed for the everlasting fire.

Make no mistake. All who do not believe in The Word of God that came in flesh, have all fallen into the pit of deception.

Italian Magazine: 98 per cent of priests are gays

Panorama is owned by Silvio Berlusconi and claims the Vatican is full of homosexual priests.

Many Catholic priests in Rome live a homosexual double life, claims Italian Magazine.

A preview of the article sent out by Panorama said:

“By day they are regular priests, complete with dog collar, but at night, it’s off with the cassock as they take their place as perfectly integrated members of the Italian capital’s gay scene.”

Panorama described its investigation as “deeply disturbing” as it detailed how the priests – two Italians and a Frenchman – happily took part in gay events and had casual sex.

In a statement on Friday, the Rome diocese insisted that the vast majority of Rome’s 1,300 priests were truthful to their vocations and were “models of morality for all.”

The Vatican did not comment on the Panorama investigation, but a senior source said:

“This is the usual silly season rubbish to attract readers during the quiet summer months”.

Source: Multiple media.

My comment:

Sometimes is takes guts to quote the obvious. Is there anyone who really believe, that The Vatican is a powerhouse of homosexual priests?

Is it the hetrosexual priests that rapes alterboys?

A report from the Government of Ireland, exposed the Roman Catholic priesthood to be being as many of 150.000 sexual abuse cases in Ireland alone sins 1930. Read the fill story:

The Magazine Panorama just report the painful truth about  the Sodom and Gomorrah like condition inside St. Peters square in Rome.

See how they love one another

This is not a quick take from a boxing club in Queens, New York City. This is inside the Parliament in Kiev in Ukraine in May 2010.

April 27th 2010. Elected members of the Parliament in Ukraine struggling to find good solutions. Power politics at its best.

The World is fast erupting into merciless violence. Few of us gets surprised about riots in the streets. Every minute, somewhere on Earth “peace activists” and Police battling it out. Some still pay attention when the media reports on fresh mass murders or slaughter of innocent children.

There is no end of wars. Not a single second of peace all over the Earth.

The pictures you are about to see, are not taken among the goons in a downtown nightclub. Neither from a boxing match. These are the ugly images of elected politicians fighting tooth and nails inside of National Parliaments.

You might be surprised what kind of Republics and Kingdom, that have fallen into the club of failed nations.

John 13:35
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

First: Ukraine

To jump the fence just got a new meaning.
Politicians have always been good in creating a smoke screen around their dealings.
Not an under cover agent. But the speaker in a Parliament.
To be a politician in former communist Russia, has always been a neck breaking experience.
Politicians have always been cleaver in bending the rules.

Genesis 6:5-7
The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.

The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the LORD said,

“I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”

(end of scripture)

Could it be, that we are exactly in the same situation today, just as it was before the flood?

Matthew 24:37
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

We have been told is is bad on North Korea. But how healthy are the leaders, inside one of the major allied countries of America in Asia?

Second: South Korea

The man who lost the wig, was not able to understand the direction of the political winds in East Asia.
The budget session has always been crowded in South Korea.
Women in politics are not always a guaranty for a peaceful settlement.
This kind of jump would have made a Norwegian ski jumper envious.
Corridor politics in Seoul, might sometimes get a little bit to messy.

To be an expert in Judo, seems to be no disadvantage for a Koran man with political ambitions.

The Korean elite are really the great doers of politics.
To be a good politician in Seoul, you need to come on top of your problems.

Is there still anyone who remember what excuse Hitler needed, to grab power in Germany?

27th of February 1933. Hitler sent his goons and put the Parliament in Berlin on fire.

After World War II, we have been told that Japan is a peaceful corner of the Globe. With a noble culture, where elders respect each others.

Third: Japan.

In Tokyo you have to act quickly, to get all the political benefits that suddenly becomes available.
Even in Japan, there is a rush for the top positions.

Proverbs 6:18
a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil.

We have been told that Taiwan is one of the nations in Asia, that secure freedom and democracy. Another major ally of America, stand tough against communist China.

Forth: Taiwan:

Where were they all, during the release of the movie “Titanic”?

Jeremiah 17:9
“ The heart is deceitful above all things,And desperately wicked; Who can know it”.

Fifth: Russia

The Latino politicians are suppose to be good Catholics. Still there seems to be no peace in their heart, even after they have been elected to serve the people.

Sixth: Mexico

Seventh: Bolivia:

Matthew 24:21
For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

Turkey is a member of NATO, and is proposed to become a member of the European Union. But are we sure the Turks are able to get into any Gentlemen agreements?

Eight: Turkey:

Even from a different angle, they seems unable to get a breakthrough.

1 Corinthians 1:25
For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

Italy is in the heart of the European Union, and claim to be the cradle of modern civilization. But could it be that the Italians are just as wicked as the rest of mankind?

Ninth: Italy:

The voice of the people are not always heard inside the Parliament in Rome.
The political climate is not always the coolest. In Rome, be like the Romans.

Knesset in Israel is normally a place ruled by ladies and gentlemen. But the Jews and Israeli Arabs do not always limit their actions during disagreements.

Ten: Israel

A hot tempered Russian lady wants to beat up a Arab “Christian” lady, who support Radical Islam, and has been branded as a traitor of the Jewish state.

India has the World record in adjournments in parliament business, due to brawls and screaming politicians. Sometimes they even hit each other with chapels .

Eleven: India.

Not because of shoe bites, but as an expression of disagreement.

Twelve: Malaysia.

Malaysia truly Asia. Even in this local assembly there seems to be a need to push for a quick solution.

There is no longer business as usual in Somalia. But the last picture is an example of hard core political disagreement.

Finale: Somalia

It you cant join them, beat them black and blue….

Even inside the Parliament in the Green Zone in Baghdad, no one seems to be safe from political disputes.

W. Bush during a narrow escape. Lucky for him. He was not even elected by the majority of the voters in the US.

In many “parliaments” there has never been a brawl. There is simply no freedom, not even to fight. Like in China, Saudi Arabia, Damascus, and Sudan.

There can never be peace on Earth, without the Price of Peace, Jesus the Messiah present. Behold. He will soon be back. Till than. Learn from the wisdom of Jewish King David:

Psalm 1:

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
