Earlier this week, I installed e-sword v903. After a few moments of lovely pleasutation (meant-to-be-pleasure-but-became-irritation) I removed it and installed my e-sword v7.9 again. Sad that the navigation tree was chopped. Pushing F2 every time I want to use the navtree, somehow just does not have the same appeal, as just moving the mouse over and clicking the book and chapter where one wants to be at.
Nice new look, though.
Pity about the tree.
Does God work injustice?
There is a school of thought, that all of our lives are already worked out beforehand, and God has already worked out who are going to Live and who are going to Die.
This is a scary thought, and quite rightly so: it contradicts all reason to assign Justice to God's being; the idea of a superficial “freedom of choice,” while He has already decided beforehand where one is going. So the worst of sinners may enter Heaven on account of “His grace”: while some of the greatest true saints, while living their lives according to every Word He gave, are damned, simply on account of His decision.
There is an opposing school of thought, that God left all decision on mankind's ending to themselves, and therefore one's actions and decisions dictate God's decisions, which influences where one ends up. This is another scary thought, for this indicates that the omnipotent, omniscient Creator of all has no control over the future, and literally takes a gamble, on whether or not mankind will obey His Word; adjusting Himself to mankind's whims and decisions, the Master becoming the slave and the King becoming the servant.
For those who believe the lie, that God exists to serve mankind (and this heresy has taken post in the modern teachings): Jesus Christ has become Man to serve his Father's will. He did what pleased the Father, not what pleased men. And His ultimate sign of obedience to God the Father, was to give His life as ransom for many (not all); for few shall follow where He has led, and few shall find the Way to Life and enter through the narrow gate.
His appearance to st. John on Patmos, was not at all that of a servant. He appeared as the Prince of Peace, ready to come to earth to take control and, with his faithful servants, prepare the earth over a thousand years for the coming of God the Father with New Jerusalem.
There is a third school of thought on the topic of “predestination”, which is rarely heard:
Since time is non-existent in eternity (even time shall end, indicating that it is part of the creation), it means that God is not limited to time. At all. Which means, He sees Creation Day 1, Judgment Day, and all days in-between, at once.
So He does not need to decide beforehand, who goes where. Mankind decides it on their own. God has mercy on whom He wills, for He wills to have mercy on all who obey His commandments. It is man's choice, not God's which eventually leads to God's Judgment for Life or for Death.
Simply put, God sees right now, the past, present and future. And He sees on creation day 1 already what man has decided four years from now.
So He does not need to be unjust, to have His chosen people. He chose them, based on their decisions. That is why He could say that He loved Jacob from the beginning, but hated Esau. One Worldly “blessing” and a moment of impatience...
Double Standards
Amazingly, evolutionists claim to be “open minded” in believing that all animals currently known to be on earth, are all animals on earth, all others have died out MILL-YONS-OFF-YEAHS-AGOO!!!!
… and they call six-day creationists visionless bigots, for believing that all life on earth was made by God in six days, roughly six thousand years ago, dinosaurs included, and that some might still be alive in the jungles and oceans. Anybody else see some serious double vision in there?
The denial and betrayal of the Emergent Church
People want to call God their Father, but they reject the idea of His punishment on those who who disobey His commandments. People want to call Jesus Christ their Lord, but they reject the necessity to obey His commands. People want to call the Holy Spirit their Guide, but they reject any guidance that opposes the direction they wish to go. People want to call themselves “Friend of God,” while rejecting the True Faith for a Worldly religion based on materialism. Three times will they deny the Trinity in order to fit Him into their lifestyles, instead of styling their lives around Him; and they will rather betray Him for Worldly “blessing” and unity, being a friend of the god of this World, than to be rejected by the World for coming out of it and being separated unto God.
God called Abraham, His friend, because he believed on God's promise. Note: Abraham had to leave all he knew and set off into the unknown, going where God told Him to go. God sent the son of the slave to gain the World's riches, while the son of the Inheritance Promise, even now, struggles against the World to survive. God showed Himself to the son who longed for the birthright, while the son who rejected his birthright for a Worldly “blessing” that was used up in that same moment, could never get it back.
God in the flesh as Jesus Christ, was openly rebuked by St. Peter for His negative words and persecuted by St. Paul while he still was Saul, yet both were mightily used by God to spread His gospel; while Judas Iscariot openly showed his love and his compassion for the poor, above the anointing of the Son of God, and betrayed Him with a sign of brotherly love, to gain Worldly “blessing.” And those to whom he betrayed the Lord, rejected the traitor also, and he could find no recourse to undo the murder of the innocent blood, and therefore no forgiveness, so much, that he committed suicide afterwards.
And the modern Emergent Church takes it past the previous limits: portraying those who believe in separation from the World; who believe in obeying God's commandments; who believe in testing what the spirits say with what the Holy Spirit inspired Scripture says, as legalistic bigots who bring division into the church; while the Emergents claim that all worship the same god, under many different names and in many different ways; portraying the machinations of men's minds and from the mouths of devils, not as other religions any more, but as other denominations. And in this, they reject the Word of God, without whom none shall come unto the Father, to Whose Standard men and women must go to find the only Way, the only Life and the only Truth, for a Worldly christ-image of their own imagination, who conforms to their standards.
God shall have no mercy on those who know the Truth, yet, Driven by their Lives' own Purpose, exchange it for the unity of the World and refuse to be corrected.
Daniel 8 vs Rick Warren
As i read the following part in the book of Daniël, it became clear, that everything written therein can be considered applicable to Rick Warren's current concepts: the Three Legged Stool, and the P.E.A.C.E-plan. All, except for that the THREE legged stool does nor quite fit with "four kingdoms" rising out of one.
After pondering why all except one piece would fit into the puzzle, i re-read the United Nations Agenda 21 again: and then i noticed why it fits precisely.
Every stool needs a seat. A three-legged stool, has a fourth part, the seat, without which the legs cannot be implemented.
According to Agenda 21, there are three parts (sections) to the plan, with a fourth part: the means of implementation. And section 1, could be taken directly from the P.E.A.C.E-plan - or vice versa.
Another thing that also came to my attention, was that the Emergent Church is a conglomeration of the four main beliefs from the minds of men and satan:
-occult religions;
-earth religions
-false christianities
-non religions.
These four came out of the one prince of this world, and out of the false christianities, the Emergent Church arose, out of which the Cosmic Christ shall rule by the power of satan.
Dan 8:22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
Dan 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
Dan 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Dan 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Dan 8:26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
Dan 8:27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
:22 "Four stood up for it, four kingdoms..." (Rick Warren's "three legged stool" in "The Purpose Driven Life," plus its means of implementation, which he claims to be the aim for his books, and the next step of the church?) "...shall stand up out of the nation..." (He looks for unity with Worldly, idolatrous religions (by the beguiling of satan "..., but not in his power.")
:23 "And in the latter time of their kingdom,..." (when the Emergent Church is going for a while) "...when the transgressors are come to the full,..." (when the idolatry and devil worship have removed the Glory and Holiness of God from the church) "...a king of fierce countenance,..." (a literally evil leader, a tyrant demanding his own will) "...and understanding dark sentences,..." (satan is the prince of darkness; this shall be a complete follower of satan, and trained in witchcraft, though the name will most likely be changed to what was before the sin of satan: lucifer – the “light carrier”) "...shall stand up." (he shall take the worship of the devils for himself).
:24 "And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power:...." (his power shall come by indoctrination and intimidation, also by the works of devils) "...and he shall destroy wonderfully,..." (the “sign of the spirit of god'” is speaking in tongues; and doing wonders is said to be proof of belonging to god) "...and shall prosper,..." (in both the emergents and the Word Faith cult, poverty is a sign of sin and/or god's spirit removed from the person) "...and practise,..." (the common lie is that the “gifts of the spirit” must be practised/exercised – apparently their “holy(?) spirit" is so powerless, its power alone is not enough?) "...and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people." (the leadership shall first remove the “fundamentalists” who cling to the Truth (blessed subtractions) (see Paul Smith who was fired from Calvary Chapel, for doing what he can to keep the true Gospel in the church); later shall be attempted to brainwash/reindoctrinate them; and those who refuse to betray their Lord Jesus for Worldly unity, and those protected against it by God's grace, shall eventually be killed (see 2012 prophecies, and I don't mean about the Mayan Calendar ending then).
:25 "And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;..." ("Craft" is a common abbreviation for witchcraft (wiccan, shaman, sangoma, inyanga...) In the Purpose Drivel Church, all religions are allowed, including "indigenous/native religions." Any religion which does not state that Jesus Christ the son of God, is the only Truth and Way to the Father and eternal Life. Hindu and wicca teaching and practice, already makes out a decent part of the teaching/training in the modern charismatic/emergent churches). "...and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:..." (Rick Warren now says that he was wrong, to teach that the greatest glory comes from leading people to Jesus and eternal Life; he now believes, that it is to help with building a church. He also states that people's lusts come before leading a holy life (stop thinking like a Christian, start thinking like a sinner) . Also that no single person can grow in the spirit alone; his god's spirit needs people to be part of a community, no matter which religion it is: hereby he set himself above the Lord Jesus, who stated that the Wordl shall hate His followers because of His name; and above st. Paul, the Thirteenth Apostle, chosen by the Risen Lord Jesus Himself, who demanded that the body of Christ not have anything to do with the doctrines of, and offerings to devils. "By peace..." The angel spoke to Daniël, he did not write the words for him: the P.E.A.C.E-plan destroys many people's faith in the True God and His righteousness, in return for unity with Worldly religions – there is no such thing as coincidence) "...he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes, but he shall be broken withou hand." (This is completely explained in the book of Revelations: Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Rev 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Rev 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.)
:26 "And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days." (The emergents have been going for a few years now, and shall keep going until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (which is being phased out of their teachings in favour of "Kingdom Now/Dominion-theology").)
Believe or laugh it off at your own peril – there has never been such a clear indication of the influx of satanism into the supposed “body of Christ” - if it was His true Body and they God's true children, they would have made sure to keep this out.
Word-Faith allegory
WORD-FAITH
[an allegory on the danger of the Word-Faith cult]
Violent fingers clenched
Iron surrounding copper and lead
a Spark of insanity builds up despair
a Cry in the Dark
Iron lets go of copper and lead
a Depression of speed and metal meets air
Violent hands open
Iron drops down while copper hits ground
and lead turns into a pressurized head
Violently hands fall
Iron and copper strewn out to each side
while life escapes through a way made by lead
Violent hands lay still
Iron and copper and lead on the ground
Faithful witnesses to dealing with sin.

[The Word-Faith cult has had its share of faith-related deaths. People who died, because they "stood on and claimed every promise in the Word." Instead of trusting in God's sovereignty to do His will, they claim the creative power of God's Word for themselves, even godliness. The result can be found with a simple search: some died, or had their family members or relatives die, or maimed and crippled, for believing in the power of their own words, instead of the Power of the Word, Jesus Christ.
The ending is based on the cult's view, that man becomes "God-on-earth" when the spirit they pray to inhabits them. And since God cannot become sick, and they believe it is sin that creates sickness, it is literally their sin that kills those who die of cancer, TB, ebola... any illness or disease. No wonder their preachers let go of faith and run to the doctors when sick - see Joyce Meyer, John Osteen, Kathryn Kuhlman, Ruth Ward Heflin, Kenneth Hagin Sr., E.W. Kenyon, Jamie Buckingham, John Wimber...]
