ARE THERE HYPOCRITES IN PULPITS?

One of the favorite ways people like to strike down Christianity is to say "They're hypocrites."

Are there hypocrites? Of course. Are some of them preaching from pulpits? You'd better believe it. We've seen a number of preachers exposed. We've seen a lot of things coming out of some churches...wrath, strife, heresies, hatred, uncleanness and all the things that you find everywhere else. Christians can fall into the same things that others do. Some have fallen to temptation but they struggle through it and overcome. Others are outright hypocrites.

God's word is not just talking to non-Christians here in Galatians chapter 5, verses 19 - 21. He's warning those who call themselves Christians if they're doing these things, they can kiss Heaven goodbye. In these last days evil will abound. If you don't know what some of these mean, take the time to look them up.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

At this point I just feel I have to explain one of these words to you. There's lots of confusion what fornication really means. I was always told it was like adultery, only between unmarried people. NOT TRUE. The root word in the original text is "PORNEA". That pretty much clears it up. Pornography is the cause of much of the things going on in the world today. Look at the first four things listed in the above scripture.

Pedophiles claim seeing child porn keeps them from molesting REAL children. That's garbage. Child molestation is on the rise. Pedophiles are trying to convince the world it's normal and we should accept it. Look at the list above. It's all on the upswing.

As a private investigator, 90 percent of my cases were investigating child molestation on children who were too young to testify in court. It was increasing at an alarming rate, so I began to dig and try to find out the reason. I went all the way back through my cases and contacted people who knew the molesters.

The ONLY thing these men had in common was an obsession with pornography...every single one of them.

We've seen pastors and priests, police officers, firemen, teachers who are child molesters. Doctors, dentists….men from all walks of life.



Hatred, strife, wrath. There is a bunch of people calling themselves Christians, who show up at funerals and demonstrate. Do they show any of the signs above. Oh yeah they do. But stop lumping all the nuts in the world with the Christian label. They can call themselves whatever they want but it doesn't make it true. There's lots of people who own Bibles who don't try to live it.

Evil abounds as we approach the last days. Next blog…More signs we're close to the end.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL.

BEWARE: FALSE PROPHETS

There's so much about "prophecy" in the news and online these day, there are a few facts readers should know when they're trying to decide what to believe.

Agnostics and atheists reject biblical prophets but throw a good old false prophet in front of them and they'll fall all over themselves repeating the lies. That always amazes me.

Before I address Bible prophecies, let me say this. We are told in the Bible how to judge prophets because it's true sometimes they all appear to be credible. Here's the key: If someone tells you so-and-so is right about 85 percent of the time, BEWARE! It even happens in the Christian community. Some TV evangelist or an evangelist who comes to your church starts with the "feel good" prophesying and the sheep will close their eyes and follow him/her anywhere.

There are two gifts of the Spirit, word of knowledge and word of wisdom. These are NOT what I'm talking about. I'll address these in another blog. The true called-by-God prophet doesn't sit around and spout prophecies. God  may speak to them often, reveal things to them to teach them, but prophecies to speak out, rarely. And true prophets don't do 85 percent right. God's prophets are NEVER wrong. It's 100 percent right, you can take it to the bank.

I'm going to clear up something right now. Was Nostradamus a Christian? No he wasn't. Nostradamus was involved in the occult, and people would come to him for horoscopes and psychic advise. His predictions were so obscure you could read almost anything in them. He supposedly predicted the planes hitting the twin towers by writing:

"In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos,
while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb",
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"

Speaking of obscure, here's what he actually wrote:

The sky will burn at forty five degrees,

Fire approaches the great New City.

Immediately a huge scattered flame leaps up,

When they want to have proof of the Normans.

Are we getting close to the end? Yes. Everyone can feel it. Something big is getting ready to happen and people want to know what and when.

Look at the difference in prophecies by God. There's nothing obscure in them.

Chapter 13, verses 31, 32 and 33"
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

If you want to check out the prophecies for yourself, read Matthew chapter 24, Mark chapter 13 and Luke chapter 21. If you don't have a Bible, you can go to biblegateway.com
