Bible studies # 22: The claimed power of Pope is sin against the Holy Spirit

The Papal claim of Pope as «Vicar of Christ» replaces the Holy Spirit as the head of the Church on Earth. The Holy Spirit is equally available to all who surrender to Jesus of Nazareth as God the Son.

Who are the people who are subject to the Papal authority in Rome?

First, Christians should not be to occupied with what Satan and his children are doing. We are called to shine among men, reflect the light of Jesus and do the will of our Father in Heaven.

But we cant avoid encounter people who work for the devil, many out of ignorance but some knowingly, having been told the truth but rejected it.

When Paul met a false prophet named Bar-Jesus, He gave him this message:

Acts 13:10

«You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?»

This Bar-Jesus claimed to know God, and he spoke about God, but his knowledge was not based on the truth. He had got power from the devil, but was in the eyes of God Most High worthless.

Where did the deception begin?

It all started in the Garden of Eden, with the devil taking the name of God, claiming to know the will of God. The result was Adam and Eve being lead into sin, by disobeying the Word of God.

Satan basically is a promoter of sin against the Word of God. Thats why Jesus the Messiah told us it would be better for people to have a milestone around their neck, and being thrown into the deep blue sea, than to lead people into sin.

Lets take a look of some major institutionalized sins, explained in the Bible:

The sin of holding the Jews back in Egypt:

Satan is the killer of the truth, the enemy of the Jewish people from the day of their election as God`s`chosen people.

The devil did his best to exterminate the Jews in Egypt, by telling the pharaoh to kill all the firstborn Jewish boys. Pharaoh did not fully know what Satan had in mind: «The moment there is no Jews on planet Earth, the God of Israel is a false God, and the Bible a false book».

The sin of trying to murder the new born Messiah:

When Jesus of Nazareth was born, the devil again used his children to try to block the will of God. This time it was the Messiah him self that was the target. King Herod sent out his soldiers to kill all boys in and around Bethlehem, under the age of two years. Satan knew that if he could kill the Messiah at birth, there would not be a needed redemption of man kind.

The sin of claiming global Papal authority:

In the early Church Satan operated through a man called Bar-Jesus. But this man copy-cat-Jesus was not the only one. When we reached 400 A.D, another copy-cat had become very powerful. He was promoted by the Pope in Rome, a «Jesus» claiming that God demanded the Church to be headed by one supreme Bishop, the Pontifex Maximus in Rome.

Pope Benedict is the present Pontifex Maximus, the ruler of pagan Rome

This pagan tittle was first held by Caesar in Rome, the head of the Roman religion.

When this tittle was introduced into claimed to be Christianity, true followers of the Messiah objected.

To have a Roman Pontiff would be against the teaching of the Apostles. Jesus of Nazareth had said that the Holy Spirit will come and be the «vicar of Christ», and would be equally available to all believers.

And there were many synods and Bishops who did not want to be ruled by the Emperor of Rome and his pope.

The pope is a man of sin. His throne is a lie and blunt blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, a sin that Jesus said never will be pardoned and forgiven.

The sin of banning people from reading the Bible:

The Papal system tried to take control over the Jewish scriptures, banning ordinary people from access to the Word of God. The Pope and his faithful followers claimed that the will of God, was meant only to be understood by Roman Catholic priests, who was learned men in Latin.

In several European countries, faithful Christians were burnt at stake for trying to translate the Latin Bible into their local languages. Martin Luther was a German Catholic priest who avoided being arrested by the Pope, protected by the Protestants, and therefor succeeded in giving his own people the Bible in the German language.

The sin of trying to get rid of the Jewish people:

In the 1940-ties Satan used two Roman Catholics as a tool to genocide the Jewish people. The Nazi-leader Adolf Hitler was baptized and confirmed in the Papal Church, and the Fascist leader in Italy, Benito Mussolini, converted to Catholicism as an adult. The Satanic motive was one and the same as in Egypt 3000 years earlier. «If we can get rid of all Jews, than Lucifer will be proven to the God Most High».

The sin of trying to demolish the restored Jewish homeland:

Today, the children of the devil work hard in a bid to demolish the Jewish state of Israel. Because, the existence of the restored Jewish homeland is the best proof there is, of a living God of Israel and a coming of His Messiah. The devil know that if he can manage to destroy Israel, the prophetic Word that foretold an end time restoration of the Jewish people in the homeland will be a bluff.

The Bible tells that Satan shall almost succsed. Like with Job, an image of the struggle of the Jewish people. Sin is the man of lawlessness.

1. John 3:4

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

You can be sure that working against the will of God of the Bible, will put you in trouble for eternity. You have chosen to have the devil as you fauther, and you will surely end up in the lake of fire together with him and all his children.

Former German president to honor anti-Jewish pastor

Roman Herzog to honor anti-Jewish Lutheran pastor Mitri Raheb next week.

Roman Herzog, the president of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1994 to 1999, is slated to deliver a speech next week in honor of Reverend Mitri Raheb, a fiercely anti-Israel Palestinian Lutheran leader in Bethlehem who has argued that Jews have no right to be present in Israel.

israelreise-2010_1 — The anti-Jewish pastor performing a mas in the birthchurch in the catholic church in Bethlehem.

The decision by Herzog and Media Control, a German NGO, to praise Raheb has sparked criticism from US and Israeli NGOs. In a statement on Sunday, the Simon Wiesenthal Center urged Herzog to cancel his keynote address at the event.

My comment:

Jew-hate in Germany die hard. I have in some articles exposed the Nazi-Roman Catholic nexus. But there is enough antisemitism in the Lutheran camp, to make God of the Bible to bow His head in shame.

That a former President of Germany honors pastor Mitri Raheb is a disgrace.

It is a fruit of replacement teleology made in the bottomless pit. That the state of Israel is just another political formation on Earth, and that the Jews is just another people.

You are free to demonize the Jews for calling them selves for God’s chosen people. You are also free to delegitimize the borders around Israel, and divide the land.

Joel 3:2
I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.

US Pastors still believe in God of the Bible

73 per cent of US Southern Baptist pastors accept that God created us.

monkeys — 12 per cent of Southern Baptist Pastors choose to believe in Darwin, that the ancestors of their members were mokeys.

America’s Protestant pastors overwhelmingly reject the theory of evolution and are evenly split on whether the earth is 6,000 years old, according to a survey released Monday by the Southern Baptist Convention.

When asked if “God used evolution to create people,” 73 per cent of pastors disagreed – 64 per cent said they strongly disagreed – compared to 12 per cent who said they agree.

Asked whether the earth is approximately 6,000 years old, 46 per cent agreed, compared to 43 per cent who disagreed.

A movement called Young Earth creationism promotes the 6,000-year-old figure, arguing that it is rooted in the Bible. Scientists say the earth is about 4.5 billion years old.

The Southern Baptist Convention survey, which queried 1,000 American Protestant pastors, also found that 74 per cent believe the biblical Adam and Eve were literal people.

My comment:

It is good that the large majority of Southern Baptists pastors in the US still believe in the God that appointed them.

The Bible explains that God is our creator. I believe this.

John 1

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was with God in the beginning. ³ Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

I regards to the age of the Earth, the Bible do not expose the measurement of time, as similar to hhe man made counting system. No one knows for sure who long one day is for God.

Before the Sun was created, how long were the first days?

Peter the Apostle understood this.

2 Peter 3:8
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

Bible studies # 25: How to recognize the Holy Spirit among all kinds of spirits

There are many kinds of Spirits that man will have to encounter. We have to avoid being taken for a ride with something else than the Holy Spirit of God. Our God is one God. And the spirit in One God.

On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came in form of visual flames. If its happens again, it will be Biblical. — On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came in form of visual flames. If this happens again, it will be Biblical.

Let me divide the main categories into three.

Worldly Spirit.

The Worldly Spirits will tell you to focus on this World. People who are following this kind of Spirits, will be full of all kind of fleshy desires. This kind of spirits comes from the same source. The Prince of the World.

Copy-cat Holy Spirits.

There will also be present unclean spirits claiming to the the Holy Spirit. Some of them can easily be recognized as Worldly spirits. Some of them very religious, all of them claiming to know Jesus the Messiah.

But not all copy-cat Holy Spirits is promoting worldliness There are also forms of spirituality that is disconnected from most kinds of worldly focus, but is still not based on the truth. One such spirit comes from Hinduism, and its called the Spirit of Kundalini. This kind of Spirit is linked to the practice of yoga, and often used to heal people. This spirit has also come into Christianity, and creates confusion and division.

The true Holy Spirit.

John 14:26

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

The difference between the Holy Spirit and all kind of copy-cat spirits, is that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. Jesus said: I am the truth. The Holy Spirit will never add anything to His teachings, nor contradict Him, but remind us about everything He taught. The Holy Spirit also have a prophetic function. It will tell us of things to come. The Bible still have prophetic messages that has not yet been fulfilled. Like:

Philippians 2:10-12:

«that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father».

When I tell you that this will happen on the event on the return of Jesus the Messiah, I become a true prophet, lead by the Spirit of truth. First on the day all prophetic Words are fulfilled, there will no longer be a need of the gift of prophecy.

Lets again take a look of what Jesus said, and what He did not say in one single verse:

John 14:26

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

This is a simple basic Biblical truth. The Holy Spirit will never appear in contraction to the behavior of Jesus, or contradict His teaching.

A copy-cat will come and add strange human behavior, that has no base in the scripture. Suddenly John 14:26 has been falsified to sound like:

«But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will bring manifestations into your assemblies, and confirm its power and holiness by believers behavior, not necessarily earlier confirmed as a true manifestation in the Bible».

This is a dangerous lie, and a typical statement of a teacher that has brought in a copy cat Holy Spirit: Here are some examples:

1. Gold dust manifestations
There is the phenomenon of gold-dust falling on the hands, arms or hair of those at the meetings, while some claimed that fillings in their teeth turned into gold!

2. Drunk in the Spirit.
«New Wine» meetings where people experience typical symptoms of drunkenness.

3. Animal noises.
There was no need for Baalam to act like a donkey because the Spirit of God used his donkey to speak to him. Such abnormal behavior can be barking like a dog, crowing like a rooster and roaring like a lion.

4. Holy laughter.
To act senseless, will never be a manifestations of the Holy Spirit. In our assembly there are sometimes people who fall into uncontrollable laughter. Scaring both new believers and non-believers.

It is not difficult to see how ideally this suits Satan’s purpose to discredit the Christian faith and deceive as many as he can.

Teachers who bring in copy-cat Holy Spirits will pass on demons from person to person like a virus. This is dangerous times. Test all Spirits, and do not let any one put his hand on you, before you are sure that the concerned person is a true follower of Jesus.

1 John 4:1

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
