Bible: Repent and be baptized

To follow Jesus is all about repentance and obedience. An infant can not do that.

May be this is a mother baptizing her own daughter. — A mother baptizing her daughter. A true disciple of Jesus the Messiah.

One of the biggest arguments within Christianity is linked to baptism. I know that my Catholic friends will reject todays messages, and my Lutheran family will be offended. But I have to tell the truth, and will say as Paul:

2 Corinthians 7:8

«Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it. I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while»

The issue of baptism is expressed many places in the New Testament. Like in this message from Peter:

Acts 2:38

«Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit».

Now, an infant could not have received this message. But still many Christians wants to believe than an infant can be saved by a religious ritual, and be added to the true Church.

If the infant ends up like the devil of the town later in life, neither will his parents nor the Church be willing to take the blame for their faulty teaching.

How could this Child of God, who excepted Christ as an infant, walk away from such a wonderful and obvious message of salvation?

Jesus challenged the teachers of the laws of his day, and I will do the same:

Matthew 21:25

«John’s baptism, where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or from men?»

Now, a Catholic and a religious Lutheran will answer that it was from God, but God changed his mind. Because unlike John, who demanded fruit of repentance before he baptized people, and that obviously pleased God, the Catholics and religious Lutherans do not demand such fruits.

Jesus first refused to answer the teacher of the law, and let the truth pending for some time. But in the Gospel according to Luke, we get the message straight:

Luke 7:30

«But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John».

The life of Jesus him self testify against baptism of infants. Simply because God never told his Jewish mother to baptize her firstborn. God would have done this, if He wanted to give an indisputable acknowledgment of baptism of infants, and instructed parents to do so forever after.

Finally, comes the instruction from Jesus Him self:

Mark 10:39

«We can,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with».

There was no time for the repenting thief on the cross to get baptized. But there is time for you.

It is not my job to tell you what kind of consequences you will face, if you disobey your master in Baptism. Because I am not sure. But if you want to be sure that you have copied Him also in your baptism, go to the river today and do it.

Lutherans accept Roman Catholic eucharistic blasphemy

Cardinal Koch hopes joint document will be preparation of a future joint declaration on church, Eucharist and ministry.

Cardinal Kurt Koch leads all Lutherans down the road towards the gates of Hell. — Cardinal Kurt Koch leads corrupt Lutherans down the road towards the gates of Hell.

Cardinal Kurt Koch is the President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (PCPCU).

Presenting the keynote address to the Council of The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) today, Kurt Cardinal Koch, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (PCPCU), reflected on the joint Lutheran-Roman Catholic publication, “From Conflict to Communion,” which was launched during the meeting of the LWF governing body.
Koch expressed his strong hope that the document will be mutually received by Lutherans and Catholics at global and local levels.

Koch said that the decision by the Lutheran – Roman Catholic Commission on Unity to follow up their dialogue process on the topic of baptism under the working title ‘Baptism and Growing in Communion,” was much to be welcomed, as it represents a further important step on the path of deepening understanding between Lutherans and Catholics.

He also proposed that this would open a possibility for the preparation of a future joint declaration on church, Eucharist and ministry.

Read the joint statement.

Bishop em. Ambrose Moyo, Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zimbabwe, said one of the questions often asked since the signing of the JDDJ and other joint publications in the dialogue process, was when Lutheran and Catholics would come to a point where they can share the Eucharist.

He expressed optimism that the common commemoration in 2017 would offer such encouragement.

Presiding Bishop Helga Haugland Byfuglien, Church of Norway, spoke of the ecumenical milestones in the bilateral dialogue including the JDDJ and the current publication, and noted that the processes describe the concept of the Eucharist. However, she noted, “It seems the hindrance in the time to come is going to be about the church and structure.”

My comment:

Church reformer Martin Luther called the Pope and antichrist. During the Reformation, millions of people were set free for religion tyranny, leaving the bondage to the Papacy.

By joining a bid for twist and falsify the message of Luther, The present “Lutheran Word Federation” are no longer to be considered a Protestant movement. It has become carnal, corrupt and lukewarm. Many claimed Lutheran leaders, do no long uphold sound doctrines. They walk with God mockers, and can accept anything. Like “God is love”, and we are all “Children of God”.

The Roman Catholic Church teach that God is physically present in the “Holy Communion”. God has been summoned out from His throne in Heaven, to be consumed by mortal man. To eat physical flesh, is nothing but cannibalism. If you drink physical blood, this make you a Satanist. It do not matter, if you drink blood, and say “praise Jesus”. A Satanist is what you are, and with Satan you are going to spend eternity.

Luke 22:19

And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’

During the supper on Passover, the Jews always remembered the passover Lamb in Egypt.This lamb was not brought back by occultism, and eaten all over again.

In the last supper we who love Jesus, remember the blood that the Messiah shed on the cross at Calvary Hill. We are not cannibals. We do not eat his flesh, nor do we consume him.

Leviticus 3:17

‘“This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live: you must not eat any fat or any blood.”’

It is a sin to drink physical blood.

1 Corinthians 11:27-29

So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.

I pray that born again Christians, never will participate in the horrible blasphemies of the Roman Catholic Religion. Sinning against the body and blood of our Lord. Amen.

One World religion accepted in the Lutheran camp

Through baptism Lutherans and Roman Catholics are bound to each other as members of the one body of Christ.

Pope22 — Julia Kristeva, Olav Fykse Tveit, patriarch Bartolomew I, first Primate Norvan Zakarian and Rowan Williams greet Pope Benedict XVI

This is written in an ecumenical document. “Lutheran-Roman Catholic Commission Urges Celebration of Fruits of Dialogue in 2017”

As they approach the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation in 2017, Lutheran and Roman Catholic representatives affirmed that through baptism Lutherans and Roman Catholics are bound to each other as members of the one body of Christ.

The fourth meeting of the Lutheran-Roman Catholic Commission on Unity took place from 12–19 July in Paderborn, Germany. The commission gathers under the auspices of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (PCPCU).

The 500th Anniversary of the Reformation in 2017 will also mark 50 years of dialogue between the two churches, which the commission noted offers cause for celebration.

“Catholics and Lutherans struggle in the face of their division to achieve the full catholicity of the church,” the commission said in a 19 July communiqué.

“On the one side there is joy about the communion they already share and have been able to make more explicit during the 50 years of official ecumenical dialogue. On the other side there is the pain about what is still dividing. The division of Christians stands in the opposition to the will of God.”

However, the commission added that by “harvesting the fruits of the ecumenical dialogue,” Lutherans and Roman Catholics can celebrate the communion that has already been achieved, which the commission said is greater than what divides them.

At the Paderborn meeting, hosted by the PCPCU, the commission finalized the document, “From Conflict to Communion: Lutheran-Catholic Common Commemoration of the Reformation in 2017.” Plans are underway for the publication and release of the document.

My comment:

There is a lot of interesting stuff in this LWF document. You can download the PDF-document file Luth-Cath-Communiqué-July-2012

Union — The theology of antichrist is being accepted into the Lutheran camp of Christianity. (click to read).

First:

2017 will be a jubilee year since 1967, when the city of Jerusalem was finally liberated Islamic occupation. In 1948, the colonial occupier’s from the United Kingdom were emoved.

The Pope teach that a child is saved in the ritual of infant baptism. So if Lutherans accept this to be true, they are separated Catholics who will in large numbers return home to Rome. By the counterfeit spirit they have received by their false teachers.

Second:

That the LWF writes that “division of Christians stand in opposition to the will of God” is worth noticing. Because it deletes the work of the Holy Spirit. No need to identify false teachers of false prophets. The Word of Jesus, and all the warnings in the Bible, is made null and void.

The union of the LWC and the Vatican is truly a part of the build up of the One World Religion. They will together ” achieve the full “Catholicity of the Church”.

The truth is that this document is one of the strategic documents that pave the way for the last and final antichrist.

Who voted for the Nazi’s in Germany

In 1928, the Nazi-party got less than 3 per cent of the votes in Germany. In 1933, Hitler got 43 per cent of the votes in the city of Munich.

Reichstagswahl_1928 — In the election of 1928, the Social Democrats emerged the largest party. The Catholics voted for their own parties. (Click to enlarge the diagram).

Since this topic was raised by a Roman Catholic commenter, I took a deeper look into the matter.

Who were the Germans who voted for the Nazi-party? Were they Protestants, or were their mainly Roman Catholic?

This question is interesting because Germany the Roman Catholics and Protestant is an equally large group with 34 per cent of the population each.

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) won the election in Germany in 1928 with 29,8 per cent of the votes.

The party had its power base in Northern and central Germany, mostly populated with Lutheran Christians. In the Catholic west and south, the voters chose the Bayerische Volkspartei (BVP) or the Centrum Party.

When the World economy cracked in 1929, it became almost impossible to govern Germany. After the 1928 election 40 parties were represented in the Bundestag. The Weimar Republic fell into political chaos.

The Lutheran North and central Germany voters abandoned the SDP in the 1932 election, when the Nazi party emerged as the largest party in Germany with 36,9 per cent of the votes. But SPD still the second largest party. The leadership in the SPD told the Germans: – It is us or the Nazi-party. The SPD got 21,6 per cent of the votes.

nazi_pa_image006 — The Nazi-party got most of its Protestant votes in the Northern parts of Germany.

Germany1610 — The religious divide in Germany in 1610 A.D. The blue areas broke away from Roman Catholicism and formed Lutheran Churches.

The Centrum party, a party who wanted Germany to be governed by Catholicism and Catholic values, became the 4th largest party in the national election on July 31st 1932. Their leader Von Papen secured 12,4 per cent of votes.

When Paul Von Hindenburg handed power over to Adolf Hitler 30th of January 1933, Hitler demanded that all resistance to the new regime in Germany had to be removed. Hitler banned the The Social Democratic party (SPD).

Hitler offered Von Papen the post as Vice Canceler of Germany, a fellow Roman Catholic. To get the post, Von Papen had to dissolved the Catholic Centrum Party. Von Papen accepted the offer, and the party was dissolved on July 5th 1933.

Von Papen signed the Concordat on behalf of the Nazi-party on July 20th 1933.

Pope Pius XII signed on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church.

The agreement secured the Catholics rights to run educational institutions in Germany, and that the Bishop of Rome continued to be the head of the Roman Catholic Church in Nazi-Germany. In return the Roman Catholics had to stop all political agitation against Nazism.
