Churchianity, religions of men, phariseeism,wolfs insheeps clothing and angels of"light" exposed.

FHL(C), back in the 50s, it came out that the Catholic Church had part of its investments in birth control devices, all the while telling its followers that birth control was a sin! Huh? Wouldn't Jesus call them hypocrites the same as He did the Pharisees and Doctors of His day? Oh, yeah, He would!

THE ROAD FROM ROME

by Barry Chamish

29 Dec 2005

It has been barely a month since the Israeli government apparently agreed to cede some real estate on Jerusalem's Mount Zion to the Vatican and barely two weeks since I reported on the deep background to the affair. Since that time, a great deal of mail has arrived rounding out the picture. As grateful as I am for the new information, another event surpassed it. At a recent dinner party, the hostess informed me that she had sold her book collection but had kept one volume back. She agreed to lend it to me.
The book is called All Roads Lead To Rome? (Dorchester House Publications). It is a detailed study of how the ecumenical movement is razing the foundations of the Anglican church in England, and replacing it with the ceremonies and beliefs of the Roman Catholic church. The author, Michael de Semlyen, is a leader of a British Evangelist group and this is going to cause difficulties with my Jewish readers who are tired of looking over their shoulders waiting for another Evangelist trying to "save them from Hell."
To these readers, I can only assure you that this book is vital to the understanding you need to protect yourself from mortal danger. I am well aware that given the choice of who is more threatening to the Jews, the Evangelist movement or the Vatican, American Jews would choose the former because of their conversion practises. But they are very wrong. These practises are patronizing and insulting, but they are a mere inconvenience compared to the past and present mass murder of the Jews secretly organized by the papacy.
The Jews should be deeply grateful for Protestantism. As soon as any nation replaced Catholicism with a new Protestant state religion, the slaughter and torture of the Catholic inquisition stopped and decency took over. The Protestant nations of Europe and the British Commonwealth offered their Jews a secure shelter they had never known in any Catholic country. By fighting to protect Protestantism worldwide, de Semlyen, is fighting to protect the safety of Jews worldwide.
Which leads to an issue that should bother all Jews. Why is it that only Christian writers are exposing the depths of venality that has seen the Jews massacred by the Vatican through the millennia? Where are the Jewish voices investigating the papacy and its current manipulations against the Jewish state? Why, in this time of desperate intellectual need, are Jewish writers so lame?
But that is the fact and those of us seeking the deep truth about Israel's current disastrous decline must turn to Christian writers like de Semlyen to get to the bottom of matters...At least until our own writers stop with their conventional claptrap and start investigating for themselves.
De Semlyen finished his book in 1991, and some of his findings are more than merely interesting in light of historical events which followed them, and needless to say, he could have known nothing about. Let us look at what his research tells us about the current Pope Benedict XVI.

pp. 162-3 - The Rehabilitation of the Inquisition of old is something of an article of faith for the Vatican; for the Inquisition is alive and well and, within the restrictive limits placed on it by democratic freedoms, as powerful as ever. Roman Catholic author and former priest, Peter de Rosa, in his 1988 book Vicars Of Christ, The Dark Side Of The Papacy, writes about the modern Inquisition: ' Located at Casa Santa, the pope's house is known locally as the Palace of the Inquisition. In recent years, having had a bad press, the Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Inquisition, like the Soviet secret police, has been renamed more than once. In 1908, this oldest of Rome's Sacred Congregations became The Holy Office. From 1967, it changed to the Congregation For The Doctrine Of The Faith. The present secretary and Chief Executive. the Grand Inquisitor Of Old, is the Bavarian Cardinal Ratzinger'...According to the Catholic Herald, ' Austere Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger is dubbed in Italy as the latter day inquisitor for his Doctrinaire Guidance as prefect of the Congregation For The Doctrine Of The Faith.'

What do you know? The pope was, until his investiture, the Grand Inquisitor of the church, the same post which saw millions of Jews, tortured, mutilated, or if they were lucky, merely forced to flee or hide their faith.
De Semlyen also provides surprising background on Princess Diana, written years before her assassination.

pp. 149, 162-3 - When Newman became Britain's most famous convert to Rome in 1845, his confession prior to his confirmation was heard by George Spencer, known as Father Ignatius Spencer of St. Paul, who also acted as his sponsor. Great great great uncle to Princess Diana, as well as great uncle to Sir Winston Churchill and convert to Rome in 1930, just before the start of the Oxford Movement, Fr Spencer is now in line for 'Sainthood.'...
The Parker-Bowles family is Catholic. Princess Diana, much influenced by her spiritual rapport with Mother Teresa and her favorite clairvoyant, Irish Roman Catholic psychic Betty Palko, is 'taking instruction from a Dominican priest to convert to the Roman Catholic faith, at a secret Oxford address,' reported the tabloid newspapers, Today and The People.
If these reports are true, the princess, once converted, may well ask the Pope for an annulment to her marriage, based on the infidelity of Prince Charles. This would create a constitutional crisis that would very likely assist the ambitions of Rome.

However, what interests us most, is the Vatican's push to create a one world religion with its capital in Jerusalem.

pp. 17 - In May 1989, a group of 100 Pentecostal and Charismatic leaders representing 30 nations, met to pray for a Decade of Evangelism in Jerusalem's ecumenical Notre Dame Centre.

pp. 19 - Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury and an enthusiastic ecumenist, told BBC Radio Three; "It is entirely possible that the Anglican Church could disappear to make way for a united world church."

pp. 56 - A remarkable revelation from a 1990 book, The Keys Of This Blood, written by a former Jesuit, Malachi Martin, is that Pope John Paul II is convinced he will be called in the 1990s to be the moral and spiritual leader of a world government.

pp. 73 - Roman Catholic writer, Piers Compton, in his book, The Broken Cross, recounts in considerable detail, the initiation of Angelo Roncalli, late Pope John XXIII, into the society of the Rose-Croix, or Rosicrucians, in 1935. He also lists eleven cardinals and 75 prelates of the Church, together with their code names and dates of initiation into secret societies.
Masonry encourages all religions. 'The Great Architect of the Universe,' it is argued, can be approached through many mediators including Buddah, Muhammed, Krishna or Christ. Freemasonry offers little or no resistance to ecumenical unity and thus freemasonry and Catholicism, freed from the difficulties of the past, can share a common goal in overseeing a one world faith.

pp. 75 - The world's statesmen and rulers continue to seek audiences to consult the pope on global strategy. George Schultz, America's Secretary of State, consulted the pope before major discussions, stopping off at the Vatican on the way to Middle East peace conferences. Yasser Arafat, after the American acceptance of the December 1988 PLO peace initiative at the United Nations, also stopped at the Vatican on Dec 24, presumably for more than a Christmas blessing. Arafat has met with the pope more than once...
The Reformer Magazine sounded a warning: "It is not without significance that Mikhail Gorbachev went to see the Pope in this time of crisis. This stirs fear in many hearts. The reunion of Germany under a Vatican-dominated party gives cause for concern. Will history be repeated? Will there be a pro-Vatican bloc in Europe again, this time allied to Russia with Poland, Hungary, Romania and Czechoslovakia in tow? Will this be a repeat on a wider scale of the Vatican's support of the central powers leading up to the First World War and the Fascist powers in the Second World War? These are pertinent questions. The Vatican has never lost its objective of world dominion."

pp 83 - Interviewed on Denver's KLTT Radio, Dr. Malachi Matin spoke of three forces battling for total domination of the planet, as the world races towards annihilation. The contenders were John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev and the capitalist West. As the world's spiritual and moral leader, he would lead a world government with absolute authority to decide all basic issues of human survival and human prosperity.

pp 85 - Many believe, and not only Christians, that Europe is destined to be the center of a final world empire, as the Holy Roman Empire restored. The European newspaper reported that, "The Christian Democratic leaders from Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, and the Netherlands backed far-reaching plans for the transfer of national sovereignty and the establishment of a federal government, with sole control over monetary, foreign and defence policy."

pp 87 - Dutch Prime Minister, Rund Lubbers, a devout Catholic who attended a Jesuit College, was the architect of the Maastricht Treaty on Political Union. Lubbers worked closely with Jacques Delors, also Jesuit-educated, in furthering the Maastricht agenda, undeterred by the mounting distrust of the treaty by the European people.

pp 100-01 - Author Roy Livesey is convinced that much of what we see is an elaborately devised smokescreen for the deception fashioned by the Jesuit Order and the Church of Rome...Another professor of history, Norman Cohn, writing about ' the myth of the Jewish World conspiracy,' states in his book Warrant For Genocide that it can be traced back to a French Jesuit, Abbe Barruel, who instigated the myth on which the infamous Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion were based...
Like the Vatican, the New Age has close links with powerful organizations such as the UN, UNESCO, the World Council of Churches, the Bilderberg Group and the Freemasons. Other organizations and movements with a political agenda, such as the many various peace and disarmament groups, also act as a veil behind which one-world government and one-world religion are taking shape.

pp 128 - The order of the Society of Jesus was founded by Ignatius Loyola to secretly accomplish two major goals for the Roman Catholic Institution. The first was to obtain universal political power; the second, to establish the universal church.

pp 133 - Dr. J.H. Lehmann points out in his book Behind The Dictators that the Jesuit Father Staempfle wrote Mein Kampf for Hitler.

The infiltration of the Vatican's symbology on the Israeli psyche is far deeper than Israelis can fathom. Let one example suffice for now. When the new shekel coin was introduced just over a decade ago, the imprint on one side didn't seem Jewish. It wasn't a symbol of Judaism like the date palm, menorah or even the Medieval star of David, it was a three petaled lily. Beneath it on the left side are three other symbols which may have a perfectly good explanation, but it's not known to the public whatever it may be. From top to bottom they appear to be a gallows, a yardarm with a = sign, and a Z with a - sign. Who knows what the shekel is trying to tell us, but two of my correspondents have come to similar conclusions:

Have you looked at a Shekel lately? "Joan of Arc carried a white banner that showed G-d blessing the French royal emblem, the fleur-de-lis, when she led French troops to victory over the English in support of the Dauphin, Charles VII, in his quest for the French throne. The Roman Catholic Church ascribed the lily as the special emblem of the Virgin Mary. Due to its three "petals," the fleur-de-lis has also been used to represent the Holy Trinity."
Not even the Shekel has escaped the disintegration.

A picture that I have seen from a Cabbalistic source showed the
triple crown tiara on a flame-breathing dragon for the Solar deity
worship shows exactly what these people intend to do: worship the
ancient deities of the sun, moon and stars. The Jewish leaders can't
get close enough to him. He is wearing the same outfits as the
apostate Herodian temple high priests of 1900 years ago, wearing the
same kingly tiara of three crowns...The secret societies that want to
put him in place believe he is the most qualified. One of the books
that I recently viewed showed that the ancient Herodian temple of
1900 years ago had the same exact Vatican snake pillars inside. The
apostates will continue to congregate with their fellows. The
solution is to listen to what the legends have told our people.

Papal Homily on 40th Anniversary of Close of Vatican II

She is the offshoot from which grew the tree of redemption and of the redeemed. God has not failed, as it might have seemed formerly at the beginning of history with Adam and Eve or during the period of the Babylonian Exile, and as it seemed anew in Mary's time when Israel had become a people with no importance in an occupied region and with very few recognizable signs of its holiness.

God did not fail. In the humility of the house in Nazareth lived holy Israel, the pure remnant. God saved and saves his people. From the felled tree trunk Israel's history shone out anew, becoming a living force that guides and pervades the world. Mary is holy Israel: She says "yes" to the Lord, she puts herself totally at his disposal and thus becomes the living temple of God.

In the book of Rev. you see 7 churches being spoken of by the Lord in Rev. chapter 2 and 3.
There He finds fault with 5 out of the 7 churches. 5=grace.
These churches represent not only those churches of the past, but the future.
2 of the churches Christ finds no fault. WhY?
Because they keep the Word and were ready for the Lord everyday of their lifes.
And it shall be that most churches will fail Christ. And the biggest time that they will fail Christ is when they deliver their church memebers to satan thinking he is Christ. They will be harvested out of season as Christ teaches.
Pray that your flight will not be in the winter. Means= pray that your not harvested out of season. Haverst is in the summer time, late summer.
Symbologies in the bible confuse most Christians..
Blessings.

If a man was jduged by his denomination. Then Paul and Peter were Jews though they were still alive to God through Christ Jesus.
They went to the synagogues and preached after Christs death.
We often get lost in the worldly arguments of whether a denomination is wrong or right.
But a man is not judged by his denomination but by what he lives by.
Jesus said, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word. That proceeds from the mouth of God.
Every person is capable of reading the scripture in faith and seeing that which is of God and that which is of man. It is not ones denomination that should be attacked. But the persons ability to rely on Christ and Gods word alone. For man is not reborn of a belief of denomination. They are reborn of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. And he alone is the promise of God they must receive through Christ Jesus, to be truly am inheritor of the Kingdom of heaven and child of God.

We need to cease from worldly thinking and worldly standards of judgement. And be led by Christ through the Spirit of truth within us. This way we learn how approach those yet lost and bring them to the true God in love of Jesus Christ our Lord.

the day of the denomination is dead,
it is secterianism and party spirit, both unclean spirits.

by the way idol,
spiritist "churches' are not channels of the Holy Spirit, in actuality channeling and possession by unclean spirits are one and the same thing.

Blessing in Yahshua Little star, thank You Lord for Deborah's(idol) deliverance and salvation, amen.

Good words 59149...
I once had a conversation with a Jehovah witness in my town.
He did not know me and he did not know that I had studied with some Jehovah witness's in another town I lived in for a couple of years.
He told me that they are the only church that is Gods church and that they will make it to heaven.
He said that their church is called Jehovah witness because that is Gods name and His chosen name for His church.
It was real funny to see his face after I started quoting scripture from memory and the first one I gave him was John 3:16. Next was Rev. 2:9 and Rev. 3:9.
There were two churches that Christ found no fault in. I said also that there is no letter J in the Heb. alphabet. I also said that Gods name is locked and loaded hidden in the book of Esther 5 times and that God had done that because He knew man was going to twist His real name around and all.
The reason I wrote this is not to slam a religon, nor the Jehovah witness's. It was to verify what one other had said on this thread. No denomination can get you to heaven. Only the Lord has that power.
It is the heart and those hearts that earnessly seek the Lord, not only in spirit, but also by obeying to keep the Word. Keeping the Word does not mean we have to be perfect. It means you learn the plan of God and wait on the Lord.
All the garbage of the super preachers flow on this sight,and most churches.
When the sound of the trumpets are sounded, the elect, those chosen already know what to do. The rest shall be counfounded and ashamed.
Isaiah 24:23.

Lucifer And The Cult
Of Freedom
By David Livingstone
4-19-4


"In all corners of the earth the words Liberty, Equality, Fraternity brought to our ranks, thanks to our blind agents, whole legions who bore our banners with enthusiasm. And all the time these words were canker-worms at work boring into the well-being of the goyim, putting an end everywhere to peace, quiet, solidarity and destroying all the foundations of the goy States.

As you will see later this helped us to our triumph; it gave us the possibility, among other things, of getting into our hands the master card - the destruction of the privileges, or in other words of the very existence of the Aristocracy of the goyim, that class which was the only defense peoples and countries had against us. On the ruins of the natural and genealogical Aristocracy of the goyim we have set up the Aristocracy of our educated class headed by the Aristocracy of money."

Protocols of Zion on Liberty

"Freedom" and "Liberty", both terms originally devised by the Illuminati, are sham slogans, that have been used time and again to rally the masses of the Western world against some contrived foe. "Freedom" is a relative term. By itself it does not have any meaning. Human relationships, whether they be between one individual and another, or between the state and the individual, are defined by limitations. Man may be entitled to certain freedoms, but these must have defined limits, so that he can be prevented from encroaching on others, and others against he. Therefore, man cannot be "free".

Ultimately, the principles of "freedom" and "liberty" are rooted in the occult. "Liberty", along with "equality", and "fraternity", were concepts originally promulgated by the Freemasons. In turn, the dogma of the Freemasons is derived from the Gnostic tradition. Gnosticism is a heresy of Christianity that belonged to the first centuries AD. It derived its influence from the Jewish Kabbalah, and reversed the interpretation of the Bible.

Therefore, God became the evil one, while the devil was he who sought to "liberate" man by teaching him the forbidden knowledge, or magic. According to Gnostics then, all the laws proclaimed by the creator God of the Bible were to suppress man. Instead, he believed, man would only become free by indulging in as many vices as he could. Therefore, proponents of "liberty" offer an alternative principle to counter what they regard as the repression meted out by religion. They claim that we ought to be allowed to do as we please, as long as we do not harm anybody else. This is the same principle as that touted by modern-day witches, or Wiccans, as stated by the godfather of modern Satanism, Aleister Crowley: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law".

Therefore, the delusion Satanists are offering is that the laws of the monotheistic faiths are somehow repressive. And so, Satanism reverses that which is taught by them, and suggests that we ought to be allowed to indulge in what we please, as long as we do not harm anybody else. What they fail to recognize, however, is that the commandments of the monotheistic faiths are not to restrict indulgence, but also to prevent the harming of others, and therefore, forbid adultery, murder, theft, deception, exploitation and so on. And yet, indecency and vulgarity is praised as courage against prudishness. The female body is exploited everywhere to market products. Though, religion did not teach us to be "ashamed" of our bodies, but to "have shame" . Nevertheless, through the influence of Satanism, Hollywood is promoting exhibitionism as "body consciousness".

To the Freemasons of the Enlightenment, who had been indoctrinated by the Illuminati, the use of "reason" supposedly helped man recognize that ultimately there is no God, that the Bible was a book of superstitions, and therefore, that he ought to seek "liberty" from the Catholic Church, which he came to regard to as "despotism". Using the "philosophes" of the period as their mouthpiece, the Illuminati deceived the masses into believing that man no longer needed religion, but could discover laws by himself, through the use of "reason". In this way, the first attempts to devise such laws were known as "inalienable rights", first conceived and discussed in the meetings of the Illuminati, and which were designed to supplant the commandments of the Bible. And so, the great political successes of the secret societies, the American and French Revolutions, toppled Christianity, and in its place erected secular systems, under the pretense of eliminating state persecution of religion. Among the fifty-six American rebels who signed the Declaration of Independence, only six were not members of the Masonic Order. It was they who enshrined the Lucifarian principle of "liberty", and ultimately replaced revelation with rights they regarded to be "self-evident". What they had done, however, was subject themselves to the arbitrary regulations that their new bourgeois occult overlords formulated, which we now call "rights", but in reality is a political and economic system set to advantage their class over the rest.

Religion does not forbid pleasure. Rather, it merely requires that it be tempered by a sense of greater responsibility towards one's fellow human beings. The broader reality, however, is that Western citizens are accomplices in the exploitation of the rest of humanity. They have been duped by the propaganda that, because nature is evolving, the rest of the world is merely behind a stage of evolution. This, of course, is to disguise the fact that the World Bank and the IMF, following the dictates of the financial and banking elite, are deliberately impoverishing the rest of the world, to secure both cheap labor and natural resources.

As a result, two-thirds of the world now live at subsistence. In order to suppress the inevitable dissent that will arise from subject populations to their economic enslavement, the Western powers, through the Black Ops of the CIA, have installed brutal dictatorships. These are then compared to our relative prosperity, as proof of our institutions' and leaders' ability to provide us our cherished "freedoms."

Narbonne then became the heartland of the Medieval Kabbalah. The Kabbalists of Narbonne seem to have been responsible for instigating the Crusades, in order to retrieve sacred texts that had been buried there, but which had been unaccessible because of first the rule of the Romans, and then the Muslims. Once Jerusalem was conquered, a Kabbalistic order of knights known as the Templars conducted excavations, and discovered the text of the Sepher ha Bahir, which revived the lost mystical tradition, and set off the cultural revolution of the Medieval Kabbalah.

Another aspect of the penetration of these Kabbalistic ideas was the heresy of the Cathars. The Cathar foothold was in the region of Tolouse, the bastion of the descendants of Guillaume, also known as the family of the Guilhemids, several of whom were ardent defenders of the heresy. However, the Cathars have been idealized by numerous Illuminati propagandists as having been innocent victims of Church persecutions, but the Cathars rejected the God of the Bible, in favour of the worship of Lucifer and practiced witchcraft. It was the Cathars who influenced the heretical aspects of the Templars, for which the order was disbanded in 1307.

Part of this Kabbalistic revolution was the legends of the Holy Grail, which included Cathar and Templar themes, and formulated in the region of Aquitaine, another stronghold of the Guilhemids. The Holy Grail, or San Greal, should have been translated as Sang Real, or Royal Blood, because it referred to the sacred bloodline that supposedly issued from Guillaume de Gellone, and ultimately King David, but which in reality, was understood to represent the descendants of the Fallen Angels, and their leader, Lucifer.

“We don’t teach to honour and venerate the virgin Mary and the saints…Or to make out of them images of idols and gods, to pray them for clemency and mercy for the sins in every disgrace, to build them churches, donation offer, all that God, angels and saints severely forbid.
But demons, which assume the image of angels, goddess virgin Mary and saints and appear to ignorant popes, bishops, parishes and monks, to old witches and to the prostitute of the parishes and of the monks, impose them to be bigot, to torment themselves, to fall to the ground,… and to all these people the demons announce that now on this, now on a different mountain, on the field, or in the forest, churches have to be built, in order to bring there donations and to celebrate masses, in order to bring there wealth from everywhere, and every kind of cattle; and if they don’t do that, the goddess Mary and the saints will destroy with lightning all the corn-fields and the vineyards and will kill them with the plague.”

Great post OP, as an ex catholic myself i can fully understand and agree with every point that you listed. We are totally brain washed from an early age, as kids we are given the catechism which is the ideology that they want you to follow and they make sure that you are NEVER encouraged to read the Bible.

I began to fall away when the pedo priests were being given hide outs in Rome from prosecution as verified in the google video documentry "sex crimes and the vatican".

I began reading the Bible about a year ago and to say that i was blown away is an understatment, the deliberate confliction of Biblical text within the catholic doctrine is emense, to this day i'm not sure whether the church was the real deal and has been infiltrated or if it's just a tool to lead seekers to the gates of hell, it really is that serious.

There is an obelisk that stands in the centre of st peters square right in front of the popes balchony, this is an Egytian phallic symbol for the worship of their pagan the sun god RA.

In 1586, the Italian engineer Domenico Fontana moved an Egyptian obelisk to its present site in front of the Vatican does this fact really confirm that the church has been comprised from pre 1586 until present day?

There are 13 of them throughout Rome at specific points symbolising pagan occult worship, to any doubting catholics i say don't take my word for it go do the research and see for yourself!

The stitches of the walls of separation are coming undone.

Vatican suspends bishop after he adopted woman
The Vatican has suspended a Roman Catholic bishop in the southern Indian state of Kerala after he adopted a 26-year-old woman, local Church officials have said.


Last Updated: 1:56AM BST 25 Oct 2008

Father Stephen Alathara, a spokesman for the Kerala Catholic Bishops' Conference, said a communique had been received from the Vatican, ordering the suspension of Bishop John Thattungal, 58, and a formal inquiry.

The probe will be carried out by a three-member committee of fellow Indian bishops.
