2 Peter 2
¹ False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers will appear among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines, and will deny the Master who redeemed them, and so they will bring upon themselves sudden destruction.² Even so, many will follow their immoral ways; and because of what they do, others will speak evil of the Way of truth.³ In their greed these false teachers will make a profit out of telling you made-up stories. For a long time now their Judge has been ready, and their Destroyer has been wide awake!

To help make my point clear, I usually use the best of three translations: King James Version, New Living Translation or the Good News Translation. The new translations must agree with the KJV or I don't use them. I encourage any reader to check all new translations against the KJV.

Scriptures used for this page:
Matthew 13:11-15 <> Matthew 11:25 <> 2 Cor 4:3-4 <> Luke 13:23-27 <> John 6:44 <> John 17:9-20 <> Luke 13:23-27

Jesus tells us that it is not HIS will that certain people see, hear and understand, otherwise they could ask HIM for "healing" and HE would have to heal them. "Healing" in this scripture is not (necessarily) pertaining to physical health but Spiritually. Don't confuse or limit this to healing of sickness or disease, it applies to all things of the Spirit.

Here's another scripture that fits... Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike.

You may ask yourself why Jesus would choose to hide the truth from certain people? I can only assume that the keys to the Kingdom are hidden from some people whose names are not written in the Lambs Book of Life. A Christian friend simplified it like this; "HE doesn't want certain people in the Kingdom" and "if they come to understand the truth and ask HIM, HE would be required to honor HIS promise, therefore, the way to the Kingdom is hidden from them."

I have no comment on "why it is hidden." Perhaps I have a comment but it is only a thought. All I know is what the scriptures tell me and that is; that things are hidden from some people. I can tell you that I have found this to be true. For years I have been frustrated that some people cannot see what is so obvious. Through the last decade it was very clear to me that the political "right wing" had crawled under the cover with the "religious right" and since 2003 I knew the country was going down. I was amazed that very few people could see what was so clear. It still goes on but I had to quit commenting. No more politics for me. It has become Spiritual warfare and I have enough of that without being involved in politics. It doesn't look good for America or the planet.

Matthew 13:30 is the scripture that comes to me, where the enemy sneaks in one night and sows weeds in the field along with the wheat and the owner told his farm hand to let them grow together and he would separate them at the harvest. The owner of the field explained that if he pulled the weeds it might harm the wheat. This requires help from the Holy Spirit to understand that comparison. Let me try to explain... HE lets them grow together in the same environment. The nature of the plant allows the plants to grow into their intended purpose. The wheat seed grows to be a good and useful plant of wheat and the worthless weed grows to be a destructive plant of no good use. Then at the harvest they are separated and the worthless weed is burned up while the wheat is gathered and used for the good purpose it was intended. Read the scripture for yourself.

Another quote from Jesus to consider: John 17:9 “My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you. continuing on in the very beautiful 17th chapter of John, 17:20 “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. Jesus is telling us that the prayer is for those who belonged to HIS Father and for those who will come to truly believe in HIM... Not "the world." Not even close to what we are taught by the "World Church System." You see, the "System" does not teach biblical scripture. They have their own man-made doctrine. A doctrine that is for the "worldly," the people who choose to believe lies and false doctrines. The people who are blinded by the god of this world. (2 cor 4:4).

World famous preachers and beloved evangelists like Billy Graham, who taught "Once Saved Always Saved" are the ones who further the false doctrines. Billy (also) taught millions that they could choose the time and place to walk down the aisle and be "saved." A lie that insured people that God was at their disposal. People found false security in a false doctrine that insured them that any time they chose, they could walk down and mumble a few words and then they were assured admittance into the Kingdom of God. A beautiful lie from hell! From a man who was endorsed by presidents and royalty from around the entire planet. Preachers and Christian wannabes passed this lie down to their children and died in this false belief. The entire world recognizes Billy Graham and preachers, pastors and evangelists who teach this lie from hell. It is not what Jesus taught! Did you not know that Satan would use the sweetest and most appealing evangelists to trick the unknowing?

John 6:44, Jesus clearly tells us that "no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me." In other words, Billy Graham can't draw you to Jesus. You can decide all you want to, but unless the Father draws you, it won't happen. You can argue the point but the simple truth was told us by Jesus. Pray and ask for the calling... be ready and willing and keep asking.

It is biblical that there are two Gods taught about and worshipped in this life. There is the god or "prince" of this world and there is the Supreme God of all (the father of Jesus). This is made apparent in the scriptures but one that comes to mind is 2 Cor 4:4... but pay close attention to what Paul says in verse 3... ³ For if the gospel we preach is hidden, it is hidden only from those who are being lost.⁴ They do not believe, because their minds have been kept in the dark by the evil god of this world. He keeps them from seeing the light shining on them, the light that comes from the Good News about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

There are two Jesus' too! The modern church worships the "Prosperity Jesus." This is the only Jesus we hear about from the Television Evangelists. Luke 13:23-27... Here's a scripture where Jesus warns us that many people think they know HIM... verse 26: Then you will say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets. but he tells them in verse 27: I tell you, I don’t know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil.

Here is the complete excerpt I referenced above: ²³ Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He replied, ²⁴ “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail. ²⁵ When the master of the house has locked the door, it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ ²⁶ Then you will say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ ²⁷ And he will reply, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil.’

Jesus warns us here that many people will think they know HIM but they do not know HIM. HE tells them to go away, HE doesn't know them at all. In other words, they thought they knew Jesus but it was not the true Jesus, it was another Jesus.

True Christians who are led by the Holy Spirit know the true Father and HIS Son, Jesus. Jesus tells us that HIS sheep will know HIS voice. The people who look to preachers and teachers of the world's (church) system will follow the false God and the false Jesus. They will follow the earthly Jesus that sits in the Temple in the last days, when in fact, that will be the Son of Perdition, the Antichrist. The misled followers will be convinced that they will be raptured before this happens. They are taught that they will not be here when the false Christ makes the scene.

Certain evangelists tell you that tornados and earthquakes are from God and used as punishment. Much like the Sumerians believed. The Sumerians; the society from whom God called Abraham. They were an advanced civilization that believed in a wrathful god who used weather to punish the people. We see shades of that god in the Hebrew religion and some brands of Christian doctrine. Abraham was/is the Patriarch of that religion.

For example, they say that the earthquake in Haiti was to punish evil people. Typically, some of these teachers will say that certain people suffer sickness or that death comes as punishment from God. I have come to understand that the god (small g) these men serve actually may do these things. One such evangelist that comes to mind, who prophesies these things, knows the bible very well and is a good teacher. Yet he offers up prophecy and predictions that would suggest he knows the god of this world, not the true God. Is it pure coincidence that the Sumerians believed the same about their Pagan god? I wonder? That is another subject. Back to business...

These men (and women) teach the things of the lesser god... "Jan," that elderly woman with the pink hair, along with her husband Paul, on TBN, will confirm the devils in the pulpit who worship the lesser god. These same servants of the lesser god teach "Pre-trib Rapture," "Once Saved Always Saved" and "Tongues." There are many other little lies but these are the most popular and common man-made doctrines of devils. Doctrines and false teachings that will cause many to miss the Kingdom. How? I'll give you the links at the end of this page that will help explain it.

There's a lot to be understood! It's a lot to "drop" on the average Christian. Some of the people who read this page may understand what I'm saying but that will be very few.

The World Church System
The Horror Story - Show Business At Its Best

The mega churches and world famous preachers and evangelists don't become such great successes unless they are a part of the world system. Sorry but that seems to be the horror of it all. What a shame! It is the same in politics. Only those candidates who are approved by the "System" are even given a chance as their party's candidate for whatever the office may be. If they get far enough to have a chance at winning, they are a part of the "system" or approved by the system... whether they realize it or not. There are many "innocents" who are approved by the system because they are identified as controllable and naive. This applies to politics, religion and (big) business. All matters of great importance and wealth come under the scrutiny of The World System. I know this may sound as though I am a conspiracy advocate. Let me put your mind at rest; I AM! Any person who does not realize that the world is run by conspirators are naive and should not even believe the bible. The bible is a book of pure conspiracy. So, if you have let the world convince you that people who believe in conspiracies are nuts... you are naive and a "patsy" for the New World Order. The world is run by way of conspiracies. Back to business...

I wonder if it is another coincidence that the lesser god is called the "Prince of Air?" TV and radio are the keys to stardom and the signals travel by way of the "air." Coincidence? Perhaps it is but I don't think so. However, in the original language and meaning "air" may be more akin to "spirit." I'm not sure but that's a possibility. Either way works to make my point.

Most of the popular super-evangelists are billionaires... "Billionaire" with a "B." It appears that they all allow money to hurt a wonderful opportunity to truly serve the true Lord. I'm sure there are many who enter the ministry to make money but I believe that as many were genuinely interested in serving the true God when they began but money and influence from their rich peers led them astray. Maybe not... maybe they were always just after the money? Actually it's beginning to look that way. But, I see fine men such as Charles Stanley and the (deceased) Adrian Rogers and it breaks my heart to believe they aren't truly of God. Our God. I know they are all of God but which one? That's the point.

It's so easy when you belong to the system... It's just another level of show business.
They find that there is a willing audience that will support their "feel good" doctrines. The doctrines that promise higher income (prosperity Jesus) and perfect mates... throw in a pinch of "Once Saved Always Saved" and you're on your way to a high-paying mega church empire that provides airplanes and multi-million dollar homes on the beach... add a heavy portion of "the rapture," which is a fairy tale doctrine that insures us that when the going gets tough, we will fly away. Shake it - bake it and serve up a generous portion of religion from hell. If you don't cook it up, they'll go to a preacher that will. Some preacher or evangelist will take their money. Disgusting! But, somebody's going to take that easy money so there are good acting preachers who will fill the bill. That must be the way it is seen by these talented pitch-men who so beautifully sell the word of God through their books and DVD's. Not to mention the billions they bank from the poor, suffering believers who send them monthly "partner" dues.

Finally, there is a tremendous market out there for people who want power. They want the power at their disposal... don't bother with having to have faith and trust Jesus to take care of you and your needs... this "market" wants to be able to speak directly to God with their own private language. They call it "Tongues." Many churches even teach the gift! No kidding! They actually take it upon themselves to play God and teach people a "gift." The true Christian knows and understands this is not done and if you do this, the "gift" is not going to be from our Supreme God but from the lesser god of this world. These poor folks are convinced that it is divine, even though they have no idea what they are yammering about or to whom they are growling, yammering and barking. For all they know they are calling up demons in their "unknown tongue." I hear from many people who are recovering from demonic influence. Let me assure you... they were very convinced that they were of the true God. Satan is a very good deceiver. Satan has deceived every person I know, at one time or another. Do you think you are better than the rest of God's children? We have all fallen at one time or another. The hope is that you will awaken before hell comes calling. Any day now. Any day... mind your business and ask yourself; can it be too late for me? Have I fallen for the hype?

My brother was very advanced in the occult. As a youngster I was involved for a (very) short while, then the Lord showed me it was of Satan and I quit. I know a few things that the average reader may not know.

In case you haven't guessed by now...
I'm not writing this to gain popularity or acceptance by churches or people who follow the "System." Jesus promises us that the "world" will hate HIS followers. I'm one of them, I'm despised by worldly people... I am HIS. It is my assignment to expose false doctrines and this is not an easy assignment. At the beginning of my assignment, I asked HIM why HE didn't get a theologian or professional writer to do it. HE told me that it was because I would do it and "they" wouldn't. That was in 1993 and I finally came to understand what HE meant!

I'll review a few basic facts. Facts that you may not have considered or possibly some man-made doctrine has deceived you and led you to believe things that are not in the scriptures.

Question; Who was there, waiting in the Garden to tempt Eve? Answer: Satan.
Obviously, according to scripture, Satan was here on planet earth before Adam and Eve. Even in the Garden! God's Garden that HE had planted for HIS creation. And who was right there? The Serpent, Satan and the "trees." The Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life to mention a few. In other words, there was a "system" or a society already growing, in full bloom. Right there in God's special garden! Now why was that?

According to scripture, there was a "community," "society" or "town" just down the road that the scriptures identify as "Nod." A place where Cain found his wife... after he was cast out of God's "community." Another obvious biblical fact is that, for many thousands of years Satan (Lucifer) and his fallen ones had been here on earth. Jesus tells us in the gospel of Luke that HE saw Satan fall from heaven as a bolt of lightening. It appears and is confirmed by scripture that he was cast to earth. He brought 1/3 of the fallen angels with him.

It is also very apparent that the evil lineage has been here on earth emulating everything God does... reproducing, organizing and creating religious doctrines, founding and infiltrating political parties, building organizations, fraternities and populating them.

Not what you have been taught? Of course not!

What we see is ancient and nothing is new. God inspires a good man to initiate an idea and Satan rushes in to pollute it. We've been taught that one rotten apple ruins the barrel. Yes it does.

Fast forward a few hundred years... Chapter six of Genesis tells us that Noah was the only person left on earth who was "perfect in his generations." (This is only in the King James Version, the newer translations have changed it) Anyway, "perfect in his generations" is another way of saying that he was the only person whose lineage was pure... the lineage of Seth, the third born son of Adam and not crossbred with the seed of the serpent, which was the lineage of Cain. The rest were crossbreeds. (read the first six chapters of Genesis carefully) That means you and I have some "serpent" in us. That is why Jesus had to come to "save" us. People use the term "saved" often without understanding what they are being "saved" from. Phrases and terms like "Born of God" and "Born Again" help us understand how Father God, through HIS Son Jesus "save" us from Satan. (IMPORTANT) These two terms are very misunderstood and I will attempt to explain them. Don't expect the preachers to explain it. Most teachers/preachers only know or can only teach that which the doctrine (that signs their paycheck) allows them to teach. It's their job. 

Those of us who show the signs of the good seed of Adam, are outnumbered by the people who take after the prince of the world, Satan.

Satan and his gang of demons have established religions, politics, governments and societies. They use religion, money, Hollywood, entertainment, drugs, booze and sex, among many other tools, to lead people to hell. Yet, the misinformed men of religion tell you that this world is of God and we are all God's children. If that were the case, Jesus did not need to come to this world and "save" us. He saves us from the "world." The world is of god but it is of the lesser god, spelled with a small "g."

Most religious denominations have fallen to the prince of this world. Each denomination has it's unique doctrine, doctrines of Satan, from hell. I'm sure there were legitimate denominations that were of the true God but they have fallen. The best I can tell is that somewhere in the late1800's or the early 1900's the seminaries had all been infiltrated. Laws and rules like the 501 (C) (3) are typical of the methods used. If you don't know what that is; it is the tax-free status that religions can have if they stay within the guidelines of the government. There are other ways but that is typical.

RECAP: These fallen denominations use tricks from hell like "Tongues," "Once Saved Always Saved,"  and "Pre-Trib Rapture" to trick the people. Oh, there are many other little tricks of the trade but those are typical and well known methods that the tricksters of lies use. They teach a "feel good" religion and they all teach a "Prosperity Jesus." They teach and preach things like "seed faith."

The most popular and better known preachers are used by Satan to lead the unknowing down the path to hell. Well known celebrities such as John Hagee and Joel Osteen top off the long list of  tricksters. I really don't know of any top named stars of gospel that are of the true Jesus, they all serve the "prosperity" Jesus. These mega church billionaires are destroying the smaller churches too because the small, local, grass root preachers fall right in line with the big boys from hell. Show Biz at its best! They all jump on the "gravy train." Preaching a "feel good" doctrine that guarantees a wonderful life of riches and the perfect husband or wife. Most of the mega church preachers have dumped their wives and traded them in for a younger, more alluring partner. Some of these Sex-Kitten side kicks preach right along with them.

"Send them money and God will multiply it and send you tremendous returns." They dig into the Old Testament for supporting scripture.

If your name is written in the Lambs Book of Life and if you sincerely seek the true Kingdom of God, I bet you will make it. It may take a lot of prayer, study and perseverance to find the path. I can't tell you for sure because we are all unique and God has HIS plan for each of HIS children but be prepared for a fight... keep on knocking. Do not forget prayer and study.

I wish you the best.

Your friend,
