DEBATE – LEIGHTON FLOWERS VS JAMES WHITE – ‘DOES JOHN 6:44 TEACH UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION?’

Biblical truth, the character of God as shown in Scripture, and the eternal destination of each individual is of the utmost importance when it comes to determining what is true according to what is being taught by professing Christians. If a teaching based on a Bible verse does not line up with the rest of Scripture as it appears in context, but instead is based on presuppositions and the philosophies of men, we must put aside our presuppositions and go back to Scripture looking at the clear meaning of the text, along with examining other passages of Scripture on the same topic, and determine what is actually being taught before coming to a conclusion. With that in mind, I ask that you prayerfully consider watching this debate and consider the information and arguments given on both sides of this issue of ‘election‘ before coming to a conclusion regarding election.

I will state very clearly that I am neither a Calvinist, nor am I an Arminian. Therefore, I stand with Provisionist, Leighton Flowers, who passionately defended his position and the character and nature of God in light of Scripture during last Thursday’s debate (March 7, ’24). I do, however, have a deep respect for James White regarding his work in debating Catholic Theologians (and others) in order to establish the sufficiency of Jesus Christ’s once for all sacrifice for sin.

When time allows, I pray that you will take the time to listen to this debate with your Bibles open in order to search the Scriptures for yourself to determine what is true or not (Acts 17:11) because this topic is extremely important!

[NOTE: I have decided to open this particular post up for discussion, but it is only for those of you who would like to discuss this amongst yourselves whether you are a Calvinist, an Arminian, or Provisionist (one who holds to the view that Jesus Christ’s once for all sacrifice provided complete forgiveness for those who choose to place their faith and trust in all that He accomplished to provide for complete forgiveness for sin). Presently I don’t have the time to reply to comments due to preparing to have my taxes done and preparing for an upcoming art exhibit in Schaumburg, IL at the end of May ’24.]

SCRIPTURE SUNDAY

 

UPDATE:

My apologies for not having written anything for so long, but since the death of my dear, sweet Mom in April of 2018, as well as the death of not only my dear older sister in January of 2021 but also my brother in April of this year (’22), I have come to realize that I need to focus on spending time with the remaining members of my family and sharing God’s love and truth with them more now than ever before.

I have spent hours and hours writing and researching for my blog posts, and I have no regrets in doing so. I only hope and pray that after reading them, many of you have come to realize the extreme importance of reading and studying your Bibles and testing everything in light of Scripture so that you know what the truth really is, because your eternal destiny is truly dependent upon what you believe about Jesus Christ and His “once for all” sacrifice –no matter what you may have been taught in the church that you attend.

Presently I have a part-time childcare job, and in the weeks ahead I will also be preparing for my very first Art Exhibit that will take place seven weeks from today! If you are interested in seeing my work and hearing more, you can follow me on Instagram:

HE IS RISEN!! WE CAN KNOW THAT WE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!!

The Gospel is not just the Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The word Gospel means “Good News.” The Good News that we can have assurance of being forgiven for all of our sins by believing that Jesus died for our sins and arose from the dead. Jesus’ bodily resurrection from the dead showed that God the Father accepted His death as completely satisfying the wrath that God has towards us because of our rebellion/sin.

We need to turn from trying to earn God’s forgiveness by our good works and instead place our complete trust in all that Jesus Christ already accomplished for us, because that is the only way that God has provided for us to be forgiven and to have a relationship with Him; Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father. (John 14:6), the only Mediator between God and mankind (1 Timothy 2:5,6), and the only name under heaven by which we can be saved. (Acts 4:1-12) Otherwise we are rejecting God’s only way that He has provided for us to be forgiven and saved from spending eternity in hell; we are saying that Jesus died for nothing! (Galatians 2:21)

We are saved by God’s grace; His unmerited favor, and not by our good works:

“For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” (Titus 3:3-7)

When we choose to believe the Good News of the Gospel, we place our faith and trust only in all that Jesus Christ already DID, and not in our religion or what WE DO. God then fills us with His Holy Spirit and we simply obey out of our love and appreciation for all that Jesus Christ already accomplished for us.

God’s Word shows us that eternal life only comes through Jesus Christ and we can KNOW that we HAVE eternal life IF we fully believe/place our full trust only in Jesus Christ:

“If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” (1 John 5:9-13)

LEARN TO DISCERN – THE GOAL OF THE CARMELITE ORDER OF PRIESTS AND NUNS

(SOURCE)

This post was written as a response to a request that I received from a dear sister-in-Christ who wanted me to write something regarding the Carmelite order of priests and nuns. She had watched a few minutes of a YouTube video and was saddened to see their devotion to “Mary” and how their whole existence is to Mary. She also asked, “How did this Carmelite order ever come to be?”

In answer to your question, dear sister, I came to discover this very troubling information that clearly shows without a doubt that the Catholic church sadly does not believe that Jesus Christ’s once for all sacrifice was sufficient to pay the debt for all of our sins in full. It also shows their emphasis on unbiblical Contemplative, mystical, spirituality. In part, this is what it says in the quick capture above:

“They live an austere life of penance and renunciation to make reparation for the sins of us all and to implore God’s pardon. They ask heaven’s blessing upon our lives, and they continually beg for the salvation of our souls.”

At the 11:36 minute mark in the video directly above, you will hear:

“As a sign of membership to the carmel, the scapular is also a sign of belonging to Maria [Mary] to express the devotion to this mother and the gathering of the followers to the Carmelite family. It expresses the conviction of the member to live consecrated to Mary and under her protection. It reminds whoever uses it [the scapular] the commitment to live their own Marian dimension that is characterized in a life of similarity with Mary in prayer, humility, and imitation of her riches inviting the intimate union with God and to the generous duty of fellow men and of the church.”

At the12:19 minute mark

“With her maternal love, Mary takes care of her Son’s brothers still pilgrims in the middle of danger and difficulties until they reach their celestial Father. The scapular, so intense, defines for us the maternal spirituality of Mary who protects life, saves during death, and intervenes after death.”

We are only to have our faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone for the assurance of salvation; we are never to place our trust in any object such as the scapular! Precious Catholics need to think for themselves and read their Bibles so that by the power of the Holy Spirit they may come to understand all that Jesus Christ accomplished for us all by His once for all sacrifice when He died in our place on the cross for our sins and satisfied God the Father’s just demands for sins –in full!! What joy filled my heart that day when I read the little Catholic New Testament Bible that I was given and came to understand the true Biblical gospel that I never heard once in the 12 years of Catholic schooling that I had! Neither did I hear it during the thousands upon thousands of masses that I attended during the many years that I was a Catholic. Instead I heard the priest calling Jesus Christ a “Victim” when in actuality He was — and is — the Victor over sin and death!!

---

In the series that I recently presented here regarding the Catechism Of The Catholic Church, I shared many instances with all of you where their Tradition (man-made teachings in Catholicism that are put on the same level of authority as the Bible itself; Para 82 CCC), clearly distorts, conflicts with, and oftentimes completely contradicts the truth that can be found in God’s Word, the Bible. In the following video that I added to give you more information regarding the religious order of Mount Carmel, you will see another example of how Catholic “Tradition” distorts the very Word of God and oftentimes elevates Mary to a place of prominence that belongs to Jesus Christ alone! At the 1 minute mark it is said that the small cloud that the prophet Elijah saw that arose from the sea is an image of the Madonna (the virgin Mary) who, carrying Jesus in her womb, gave life to the world. This is clearly adding to Scripture, which is something that is strongly warned against!! (Read Deuteronomy 12:32, Proverbs 30:5,6, Revelation 22:18,19).

Please, precious Catholic, begin reading your Bibles and ask God to reveal His love and truth to you! Begin reading through the gospel of John, and I also encourage you to also read through Romans, Ephesians, Galatians, 1,2, and 3 John, and Hebrews. Do not be led astray by the Traditions and teachings of the Catholic church that contradict the truth of God’s Word! Come to Jesus just as you are and place your faith and trust in all that He already did for you through the sinless life that He lived that you and I could never live, His brutal death by crucifixion when He died in your place and mine, taking upon Himself the full wrath of God that was intended for you and I because of all of our sins, His burial, and His glorious resurrection from the dead in bodily form three days later! There is no purgatory; no second chance after death!

Whether you are a Catholic — or whatever your beliefs may be — where you will spend eternity when your life comes to an end depends solely upon what you choose to believe about Jesus Christ. Do you believe that He was just a good teacher or a prophet? Or do you believe as the Bible reveals and declares Him to be, and as Jesus Christ Himself claimed to be: that he was/is God in the flesh?

Hell is real and is a place of eternal torment filled with fire that was created not for mankind but for the devil and his angels (read Matthew 25:41). It will be one’s choice of rejecting Jesus Christ that will be why anyone ends up in hell!

I pray that each of you will seek the truth regarding Jesus Christ because your eternal destiny is truly at stake!!

Thank you very much for stopping by today.

God Bless You

UPDATE:

As I mentioned in at least one of my previous posts, the Lord amazingly provided a childcare job for me and I started the first week of January! Due to the fact that I will also be painting and preparing to take part in some art and craft shows here in the northwest suburbs of the Chicago area starting this spring, my free time will now be extremely limited in order to write any more in depth posts. However, if I see the need to write something when time allows, Lord willing, I will do so!

TESTIMONY TUESDAY – LORETTA FROM MASSACHUSETTS SHARES HER HEART-WRENCHING STORY REGARDING HER DEAR SON AND CALVINISM

INTRODUCTION TO THIS SERIES

Please know that this series is not about putting down Calvinists. I know some Calvinists and love them dearly! This series (as well as all of the posts that I have written thus far on the topic of Catholicism) is about stressing the importance for all of us to test the teachings of everyone we listen to, the books that we read, etc., against the truth of God’s Word –in context — as we are shown to do in Scripture. (Acts 17:11, 1 Thessalonians 5:21,22, 1 John 4:1)

God gives us many warnings in His Word regarding false teachers in the last days and how they will arise even in our midst! (2 Peter 2:1-3, Acts 20:25-31) Therefore we should always be alert and constantly testing everything against Scripture so that we will not be deceived!

It doesn’t matter how well respected a professing Christian pastor or teacher may be, or how many years they have been in ministry, how big a church they may have, etc.. What’s of the utmost importance is:

Do they present teachings to you that are based on Scripture, and are those Scriptures completely in context?

Do they distort the very character and nature of God by using human reasoning, instead of presenting God’s nature in all of His glory, holiness, and infinite love and mercy as He is revealed to us in His Word?

God’s Word also warns us about another Jesus and another gospel:

“I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.” (2 Corinthians 11:2-4)

“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel — which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!” (Galatians 1:6-9)

Therefore, with these stern warnings that God has given to us in His Word in mind, we should constantly be on guard against accepting a false Jesus and a false gospel, both not having complete power to save!

At first I thought Calvinism and Reformed Theology were the next steps to take in order to go deeper into God’s Word so that we can get to know Him better. However, the more that I learned about these teachings by listening to John MacArthur, John Piper, R C Sproul, and Paul Washer, the more I realized how these teachings do not line up with Scripture! I also became very disturbed and troubled as I saw how these teachings distort the character and nature of God and the truly good news of the Biblical gospel! Many Scriptures came flooding into my mind to refute these teachings and I just could not embrace them as being Biblical!! Those were the reasons why I rejected Calvinism. Those are also the reasons why I see the urgent need to write this series; I simply want to point every Calvinist back to Scripture and away from the teachings of men!

It grieves me when I see many Calvinists post quotes from well-known Calvinist preachers such as Spurgeon, A W Pink, Martyn Lloyd Jones, and Calvin himself, instead of simply quoting Scripture. We need nothing more than God’s Word! How can we lose sight of the amazing fact that we have the very Word of God given to us by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit??!!

With all of that being said, here is the first submission that was sent to me by Loretta from Massachusetts. [NOTE: Names have been changed to protect their identities.] (I am waiting to receive more from some of you out there who would like to share your stories with me. Your names and locations will be changed to protect your identities, as well). When time allows, I may go through the many emails that this dear sister-in-Christ sent me and add more information that she had shared with me to this post –if I see the need to do so, and if I have time:

There are some things only a mother knows, I think God has given us that mothering gift exclusively because every mom I have ever known has had it. No disrespect to my husband, but he never saw this thing coming and I don’t blame him! Eight months after Leroy had left home to start plying his trade in LA after some local training, he took a cheap evening flight home for his first visit home. I was overjoyed at the prospect of seeing him again and did not sleep much the night before. The fact that Leroy had mentioned in his correspondence that he had listened and been to certain Calvinist mega-churches and had been reading Calvinist writers did worry me some. Let us be honest that LA is probably the last place parents want to see their children go, least of all to live and work! The horror stories from there are often not exaggerated.

Nothing, however, could prepare me for the next day. Seeing Leroy turned out to be one the saddest days of my life. I knew he had changed even before I kissed him hello. He looked different, spoke with a fake but weird accent, and he was distant as though his dad and I were actually embarrassing to him. He did not want to be home. I saw that and sensed that.

On the 40-minute or so drive home from the airport, my husband tried to strike up a conversation with Leroy. Leroy kept it strictly superficial and spoke about Hollywood and some of the famous people he had seen, and he said that he was not impressed with the Lakers or the Sparks. Leroy has always been a Celtics and Paul Pierce admirer! (Those days drove me nuts even tho’ they hold precious and sweet memories!) As if prompted, I suddenly felt I needed to ask Leroy something and asked him if he was still spreading the gospel as he used to do in our block.

My son grimaced and did not reply and for the rest of the trip no one spoke. By the time we reached our downtown apartment, my stomach was in knots and my chest was tight of the worryin’. After a late supper that had not gone as I had planned in my mind, and mostly because Leroy had barely spoken with his younger brother Jordan, I offered to unpack his suitcase, hoping to spend some needed time with him alone. While he was sitting on his bed and texting, I asked him to tell me what had happened in LA. I reminded him, silly me, that I was still his Mo. Many things had crossed my mind. Did he have problems at work? Problems in the apartment he was renting? Girlfriend problems? Did he not like the weather? Was the lifestyle change taking its toll on him? Had someone upset him, a friend perhaps? Was he in some kind of trouble?

Although I remember most of Leroy’s stingin’ words clearly, that night is still a hazy nightmare to me, and it still keeps me awake at night sometimes. Even now I sometimes get up at 3 a.m. and do household chores or watch some TV or read some. It’s very hard to write about this specific night because that’s the night that Leroy basically disowned me as his Mo. That’s the night he wrote off  his family, his dad, his brother, his past, and dare I say it, his Jesus. (I say “his Jesus” because he had found another.) I had expected bad news, but I was not prepared for what came out of his mouth and the manner in which he said it. He told me I was not saved. He said I was a “reprobate” like his dad and Jordan. It was also the first time that my firstborn had ever raised his voice at me. As far as my beautiful boy was concerned, everyone who did not hold to his revealed “doctrines of grace” and who did not worship “his” sovereign God on God’s terms, which was the strange unscriptural TULIP, was basically already in hell, “predestined by God to go to hell from before time began.”

Conveniently, and I say this with a mother’s love, Leroy was not one of the unbelieving doomed masses. As if taken over by someone or something else, Leroy explained, stressin’ every word as though I could not hear him, that he was now one of the “elect”, that the “sovereign” God had revealed it to him via the teaching and the elders of his godly church (which he has since changed for another two) and through their godly authority, which neither his dad nor I had ever had.

I broke down and left his room and for the next week, until he returned we did not speak about the incident again. We all pretended that nothing had happened except for Jordan. Jordan was not happy with the way Leroy had treated all of us, but took out his frustration by playing his jazz music with some friends in the church hall at nights. Since then, Leroy has only been home a couple of times, twice with his girlfriend, bless her heart, whom he had met at a church “function.” She is another huge influence on his life and decisions, and even once suggested with Leroy that I go for Biblical counseling so that I could also see the one true way that was found only in Calvinism. I really believed she was playing a joke on me, but it turned out that she was serious! Leroy’s choice of girlfriend is not my decision at all, but I can only pray that she turns from her ways and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ. But by far, the saddest aspect of Leroy’s “conversion” to what so many call the doctrines of men, which I agree with, is that since that first night and in the many times after that, is the absence of mentioning and reverence of the Lord Jesus Christ and His complete deity. Over time, Leroy has given me the names of hundreds of websites to visit, the names of just as many books, and he has spoken of Calvinists that I have not even heard of. He has sent me link upon link about this teacher and that one, and the one was as far gone as the next. He has also sent internet sermons that were embarrassing to watch and listen to. But Jesus who died so that anyone who accepts His gift of salvation may be saved, is not esteemed as highly as these false teachers or as some of the websites, many of which were downright offensive to a Christian!

My dear pastor was visibly upset when I asked him for advice about Leroy’s situation. Leroy and Jordan were both born-again in our small church, only two years apart! My pastor gave me some books to read on Calvinism and then gave me advice that turned out to be so helpful. He said I should read up and find out everything about it for myself so I can learn about it from the horse’s mouth. Although I had a good understanding of Calvinism before, due to an altercation I had had with a colleague years ago, reading and learning about it broadened my understanding of it even more. It is an ugly belief system, I must admit. Against my will I patiently visited and read through every website and blog that Leroy had given me and it did not take long to see who and what was poisoning him. Every site had the same message of “total depravity” and every site made excuses for sin and even condoned it, including the evil acts of Calvin himself. What was most disturbing and heartbreaking was that many of these sites were downright rude and pious and going as far as to say — and this Leroy had said so himself — that the evil acts of men were for God’s glory, and these included 9/11, the Sandy Hooks School bloodbath, the Orlando nightclub shootings and every other disaster and even the molestation of children, as shocking as that may sound! “It is God’s will,” Leroy says to all these horrible things! What kind of God would take glory from such things? Not the God of the Bible, and on a few occasions I have told Leroy that. Every time he has given me the same answer, that I don’t understand Calvinism or the “secret ways of God.”

Over time, Leroy has come to reflect the false gospel that he now believes in. Again, I am saying this because I love him, because I want to see him be freed from this terrible lie, and because there are other Leroys out there.

Before I continue I must make it clear that until a few months before he left for LA, Leroy, Jordan, and a couple of other brave youngsters, still spread the gospel in our neighborhood as was their custom. Even though our block of the city and neighborhood have had the tragic fentanyl drug plague for years, it’s known as Apache or China White on the streets, the street gangs, and the dirty clubs and its intimidating barkers, these things had never stopped Leroy from venturing out at all hours to tell everyone about Jesus Christ. He especially enjoyed weekend nights and basket ball games to tell the lost souls of the salvation that Jesus offered. Despite these dangers I never feared for his safety or for that of Jordan’s as much as I fear for Leroy’s safety now. I am talking about his spiritual safety.

He has changed. The handsome young man with the charming dark brown eyes (in his late teens, he was known as the young Denzel Washington of our specific ‘hood’) is no longer there. My real son is not behind those eyes anymore. Someone else has moved in and took his body, someone spiritually proud, arrogant, condescending, angry, and unloving. He has become unhappy and is depressed. I have noticed that he is looking down on women, as though he is superior simply by being a man. I spoke to him about that and he went into the “submission without questioning” tirade that grieved me deeply. Would he one day really treat his own wife that way? I asked him that too and he said that’s what the scriptures really teach.

I dare not list the number of insults Leroy has thrown our way since he has “found” Calvinism. There have been Easter cards that mocked Jesus, that had made fun of me, Calvinist Christmas cards, and hundreds of memes with senseless and offensive Calvinist memes. He went so far as to call me a bad mother because I had kept the “truth” from him, and he has turned red in the face on many occasions when I have asked him for some straightforward answers on simple issues like why even bother to share the gospel when god has already decided who’d be saved? “Because we don’t know who the elect are,” he answered, and that answer I’ve heard countless times from other Calvinists and have seen on blogs.

It does not even make sense! I understand my son is under someone else’s control and his normal way of thinking has been altered, and I get chest pains when I think who is responsible! He does not laugh like he used to, or talk to his brother and hang with him like he used to when he visits, he ignores his dad, he sees himself as good for nothing, which is not what the Bible teaches! He has become rude and even cusses…! And he is watching and promoting movies with extreme nude scenes and blasphemy that he’d never dream of watching before, and this because some false teacher has said there’s nothing wrong for a Christian to watch worldly things (Ephesians 4, verse 29). He has even turned his back on the music we used to listen to together. The artists he listens to now I won’t even name as there is nothing Christian or wholesome about them although these performers are found at every Calvinist conference or “event” and some of the big names in Calvinism even promote these worldly songs.

Leroy spends much of his money attending these conferences and he used to tell me about it all the time, and every time I realized that he was being led by the nose and being brainwashed. What struck me is that these conferences were obviously aimed at people within his age range. But how do I tell him that I can see he is involved with the works of darkness without pushing him away even more? On the rare visit, I have tried to talk to him, to remind him of how he had been before. I even asked him on the last visit in 2016 if he even realized that he was hurting everyone who loves him. He shrugged his shoulders.

Jordan has had words with Leroy and has demanded he apologize for the way he’d been treating my husband and I, and an apology did come forth, but even that did not last long. Jordan has been amazing and has told me over and over that Leroy will come to his senses, that he is simply star struck and following personalities and not Jesus; Leroy is caught in human idolatry. Jordan says, “It is just a phase that will pass.” He tells me that every now and then. He misses his brother so much and is planning to visit him in LA during the summer.

My dear husband has been supportive too even though he has probably been hit the hardest by all of this. He has taken it very personally, and I often find him staring at nothing. He has been patient with Leroy and has told him that our home is still his home, and that Jesus is still his Savior, and that there is no other. My husband has often asked me and I have often asked him where we’d gone wrong. But we’ve been told by wonderful friends and fellow believers that we are not to blame, that Leroy has made his own choices, and that we should not give up praying, hoping, and believing. Our son will come “home.”

For all the grieving and worried parents out there whose children have wandered away from Jesus and into Calvinism, I can say take heart! It seems to be a almost fashion like and this fad should pass. In Leroy’s case, this fad has been going on for 3 years, but it will pass. Never argue with your children about Calvinism, but speak to them gently about it by quoting the Bible and not the words of men or women.

Also, although technically it is a cult, please don’t call it one when talking to them as that will make them more determined in following after men. Never stop praying for them or loving them or showering them with kindness. Learn as much about Calvinism that you can stand and find out who the popular Calvinist and Reformed leaders are and what they teach. Remember, Calvinists have twisted every Christian phrase and word to mean something else. Above all, let them know that you love them despite everything.

Growing up, my mom and her friends had the beautiful and exciting habit of break into song whenever they got together. It was second nature for those women to sing and sing. “His eye is on the sparrow” by Mahalia Jackson was one of their favorites, and before I turned seven, I knew the words to the whole song! I know that despite the fact that Leroy has temporarily turned his back on Him and despite Leroy being blinded by Satan, God is still keeping an eye on my boy. That is the God we believe in, a God of love, forgiveness and salvation that comes through believing in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Our family’s story does not have a good ending yet, but I know it is gonna have one. Many precious people are praying for Leroy and for his girlfriend too. I thank them all. Our story will have a good ending too. I just know it. God bless y’all!

And thank you Mary for allowing me to share our story.

NEW SERIES REGARDING CALVINISM AND REFORMED THEOLOGY IN LIGHT OF SCRIPTURE, STARTING SOON!

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Even though I will not be writing very much during this year because of my new ventures in the art world, trusting that God will provide for my needs in these ways, this is what you can expect here, Lord willing, on my Living4HisGlory’s Blog during 2022:

As an introduction to this new series regarding Calvinism and Reformed Theology in light of Scripture, I will be sharing a very personal testimony written by a dear sister-in-Christ about her  heart-wrenching experience regarding her dear son who became entrenched in it. Lord willing, I hope to be able to post her testimony (Loretta; not her real name) next Tuesday, January 11th, with her full permission.

For those of you who would like to share your personal experience regarding how the Lord opened your eyes to see the unbiblical nature of these teachings when compared to Scripture, please contact me and send me your written testimony and I will consider sharing it here on my blog to help others see through the lens of Scripture how you came to realize that these teachings are unbiblical and therefore you left Calvinism and Reformed Theology behind.

As I have mentioned a few times before, the main reason that I see the need to write this series is because I was contacted by at least three women through my blog requesting that I write a series on the unbiblical nature of Calvinism. At that point I was not fully aware of the teachings of Calvinism and RT and felt that it wasn’t yet time. However,  since then I have read many articles, listened to a countless number of teachings on it, tested these teachings against Scripture — in context — and have had to leave a church because of it! So Calvinism has now affected me personally and has caused me to dig into Scripture even more deeply!

I have heard firsthand the devastation that comes from veering away from Scripture and accepting the teachings of some men that distort the character and nature of God and the very gospel itself; well respected men, such as John MacArthur, John Piper, Paul Washer, etc. Therefore, I cannot put writing this series off any longer!

I will begin by sharing some testimonies along with teachings by some pastors and teachers. Then, Lord willing, towards the end of this year I will begin sharing some of John Calvin’s own teachings compared to Scripture, as well as quotations from his extensive writings in his INSTITUTES OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION and compare them to Scripture, as well.

Whether you are presently a Calvinist, an Arminian, a Catholic, etc., I hope you will consider reading these posts with your Bibles opened and your minds cleared from the teachings of men as you see Scripture in context, and not through the lens of the teachings and traditions of men.

Be assured that this series will not be an attack on Calvinists; all information will be shared in love, and the focus will be on Scripture, presented in context.

Thank you very much for stopping by today.

God Bless You

TEACHING THURSDAY – DAVE HUNT – ‘PREDESTINATION AND FREE WILL’ – THE FRIGHTENING SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ISLAM AND CALVINISM

Lord willing, and if time permits, next year I hope to start a series regarding Calvinism and how it distorts the gospel and the very nature of God. At the least I will be sharing more teachings by well respected Christian teachers and pastors who have done much more research on Calvinism, Reformed Theology, and John Calvin and his Institutes of the Christian Religion in light of Scripture than I have done so far. As always, I encourage you to get your Bibles and follow along as you listen to these teachings, being sure that you test everything against Scripture to see if what is being said is true (Acts 17:11), and in context.

If any of you are former Calvinists and would like to share your journey out of Calvinism with me, please send me a message along with your story via the CONTACT FORM and I may feature your testimony here in order to help others see the unbiblical nature of Calvinism/Reformed Theology.

Thank you very much for stopping by today.

APPARITIONS OF THE VIRGIN MARY, OR DEMONS IN DISGUISE – PART 3 – THE FINALE – ARE MANY BEING PREPARED TO ACCEPT WHAT MAY POSSIBLY BE ‘THE LIE?’ – FATIMA AND OTHER MARIAN APPARITIONS AND THE UFO/UAP CONNECTION

[NOTE: If you would like to read Parts 1 and 2 in this series first, please click on the links below.]

APPARITIONS OF THE VIRGIN MARY, OR DEMONS IN DISGUISE? EXAMINING THE EVIDENCE IN LIGHT OF SCRIPTURE – PART 1 OF 3

APPARITIONS OF THE VIRGIN MARY, OR DEMONS IN DISGUISE? EXAMINING THE EVIDENCE IN LIGHT OF SCRIPTURE – PART 2 OF 3 – APPARITIONS AND THE NEW AGE CONNECTION

As you can tell from the title of this post, we will not only be discussing Marian apparitions, but also UFOs, now known as UAPs –Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. I would like to make my position regarding UFOs very clear before we go any further: I do believe that they exist, but I do not believe that they are carrying aliens from another planet. I, along with many other Christians, believe that they are demonic manifestations devised by Satan, (who is called the prince of the power of the air in Ephesians 2:2), to try and deceive mankind and will very possibly play a part in end time signs and lying wonders spoken about in God’s Word in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. (I will expound on that further on in this post).

Here is that Scripture for you to reflect on:

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

God makes it very clear in His Word that He created the earth to be inhabited:

“For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.” (Isaiah 45:18)

“The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.” (Psalm 115:16)

 

Now let’s begin:

As I had mentioned at the end of PART 2 in this series:

“In PART 3 we will be taking a brief look at a couple of end time scenarios that are being presented these days by a growing number of professing Christians that are causing many Christians to not only take their eyes off of the Lord, but also to tread on some spiritually dangerous territory! I will be tying all of that together with the alleged apparitions of the Virgin Mary, as well and sharing some rather controversial things with you in the process. The information that I will be sharing with you is extremely important for you to be aware of since it’s very possible that these things may very well become part of the strong delusion and spiritual deception that we are warned about quite frequently in Scripture concerning what will take place before the return of Jesus Christ to this earth.”

We will actually be looking at mainly just one end time scenario because it sadly has become quite popular. This is regarding Genesis Chapter 6 and the Nephilim –the giants.

Before I begin I would like to lay the groundwork for this post upon Scripture in order to form a solid foundation before getting into many controversial topics. When it comes to spiritual truth, the foundation for any teaching must be rooted in and built upon no one other than Jesus Christ:

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 3:10,11 – KJV)

“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:19-22 KJV)

“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.” (1 Peter 2:4-8 – KJV) 

 

We also need to keep in mind the many warnings in God’s Word about spiritual deception in the last days, testing the spirits, false teachers, and the importance of praying for discernment and  testing everything against Scripture:

“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” (Matthew 24:3-8 KJV)

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1 KJV)

“Now the Bereans were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” (Acts 17:11 NIV)

This will undoubtedly be the most controversial post that I have written so far. I realize that by sharing some of the following information with you I am risking my credibility, and I may even lose some of my subscribers, but the number of subscribers to this blog is not important to me. Regardless of how anyone may react after reading this post, I strongly felt the need to present this information to you in order to sound the alarm to make you all realize the importance of discernment and studying God’s Word so that you will not be deceived by what may possibly be coming in our lifetime.

I will also be sharing a very credible account of a UFO sighting later on in this post. I consider it to be very credible because this particular UFO was seen by one of my sisters and brothers and some of their friends!

Concerning my conviction that these alleged apparitions of the virgin Mary are demonic deceptions and not genuine, came about by actually reading and listening to many different apparition messages given by this entity claiming to be Mary in the light of Scripture. I also arrived at that conclusion (as many others Christians have, as well), by reflecting upon the truth presented to us in God’s Word regarding Satan, the enemy of our souls:

“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:1-10 – KJV)

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8 – KJV)

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15 – KJV)

Amidst the beautiful truth presented to us about salvation in Ephesians Chapter 2 above, clearly God is also showing us in His Word that Satan is called the prince of the power of the air. (Keep that in mind as we continue on in this post as well as through this entire short, but important series). Furthermore, God’s Word also shows us in 1 Peter 5:8 that the devil seeks to devour us, and that he can transform himself into an angel of light; a spirit being that is able to appear to be benevolent and from God, and may at times even emanate light, but in him is only darkness.

Although the devil can transform himself into an angel of light, God’s Word associates Satan with darkness:

To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” (Acts 26:18)

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son “(Colossians 1:13)

FATIMA AND OTHER MARIAN APPARITIONS AND THE UFO/UAP CONNECTION

Back in 2017 when I began writing this series about these alleged apparitions of the virgin Mary, I started reading through the little book (pictured above) that is an actual account taken directly from Lucia’s Memoirs regarding the apparitions of Mary that she claimed to have seen. (Note that the contents of this book has been approved by the Catholic church because it received the Imprimatur). This little book was given to me many years ago by my aunt who was a Catholic nun. As I began to read through this little book in order to document the many things that I shared in those previous posts in this series, I came across some things that were unrelated to what I was writing about at the time, but I found them to be equally troubling and very thought provoking regarding what happened on October 13, 1917, namely how this alleged Mary arrived when this apparition began, and how the sun is described by witnesses during what is referred to as the Miracle of the Sun. Keep those two things in mind as you read through the following section. To make it easier for you I highlighted those troubling things in lavender. Please note also how Mary is given the praise, honor, and glory that belongs to God alone:

Page 112 “Our Lady then began to leave. Lucia, pointing towards the East, shouted to the people, If you want to see Our Lady, look that way! They looked eagerly towards the East and many saw the luminous globe now ascending towards Heaven.“

Page 113 “I left, the morning of September the thirteenth, 1917, in a slow carriage drawn by an old horse, to go to the place of the apparitions.” Father Gois chose a spot overlooking the vast amphitheater of the Cova de Iria. From it we could easily see, without coming too close, the place where the little shepherds prayed as they waited for the heavenly apparition. At noontime, silence fell on the crowd, and a low whispering of prayers could be heard.

Page 114 (Continuation).”Suddenly, cries of joy rent the air, many voices praising the Blessed Virgin. Arms were raised to point to something above, ‘Look! don’t you see?’ …’Yes, I see it!’ I, too, raised my eyes to probe the amplitude of the skies, hoping to see what the other more fortunate eyes were seeing before me. There was not a single cloud in the whole blue sky, yet to my great astonishment, I saw clearly and distinctly a luminous globe, coming from the east to the west, gliding slowly and majestically through space. My friend also looked up and had the happiness of enjoying the same unexpected but enchanting apparition. Suddenly, the globe with its extraordinary light, disappeared before our eyes.

There was a little girl near us, dressed like Lucia and about the same age. She was excited with joy and kept saying, ‘I still see her…now she is coming down.’ A few minutes later the child exclaimed again, pointing to the skies, ‘Now she is rising again’ following the globe with her eyes until it disappeared towards the sun.

I asked my friend who was enthusiastic over what we had seen, ‘What do you think of that globe?’ Without any hesitation, he replied, ‘That was Our Lady.’ That was also my belief. The three little shepherds had seen the Mother of God herself; to us had been given the grace to see the chariot that had borne her from Heaven to the barren and inhospitable hills of Aire.”

Page 133 October 13, 1917 “At one o’clock, the hour of the sun, the rain stopped. O Dia [newspaper] reported. The sky had a certain greyish tint of pearl and a strange clearness filled the gloomy landscape, every moment getting gloomier. The sun seemed to be veiled with transparent gauze to enable us to look at it without difficulty. The greyish tint of mother-of-pearl began changing as if into a shiny silver disc, that was growing slowly until it broke through the clouds. And the silvery sun, still shrouded in the same greyish lightness of gauze, was seen to rotate and wander within the circle of the receded clouds! The people cried [o]ut with one voice, the thousands of the creatures of God whom faith raised up to Heaven, fell to their knees upon the muddy ground.

Page 134 “O Seculo, another newspaper of Lisbon, carried a more detailed account of the extraordinary events. From the height of the road where the people parked their carriages and where many hundreds stood, afraid to brave the muddy soil, we saw the immense multitude turn towards the sun at its highest, free of all clouds. The sun called to mind a plate of dull silver. It could be stared at without the least effort. It did not burn or blind.“

Page 135-137 Testimony of another witness, Dr. Almeida Garret, Professor at the University of Coimbra “The sun had broken jubilantly through the thick layer of clouds just a few moments before. It was shining clearly and intensely. I turned to this magnet that was drawing all eyes. It looked to me as a luminous and brilliant disc, with a bright well defined rim. It did not hurt the eyes. The comparison (which I heard while still at Fatima) with a disc of dull silver, did not seem right to me. The colour was brighter, far more active and richer than dull silver, with the tinted luster of the orient of a pearl. Nor did it resemble the moon on a clear night. Everyone saw and felt that it was a body with life. It was not spheric like the moon, neither did it have an equal tonality of colour. It looked like a small, brightly polished wheel of irridescent mother-of-pearl. It could not be taken for the sun as though seen through fog. There was no fog at that time. (The rain and the fog had stopped.) The sun was not opaque, veiled or diffused. It gave light and heat and was brightly outlined by a beveled rim.

It was a wonder that all this time it was possible for us to look at the sun, a blaze of light and burning heat without any pain to the eyes or blinding of the retina. This phenomenon must have lasted about ten minutes, except for two interruptions when the sun darted forth its more refulgent, lightening-like rays, that forced us to look away.

It was rotating upon itself with exceedingly great speed. Suddenly, the people broke out with a  cry of extreme anguish. The sun, still rotating, had unloosened itself from the skies and came hurtling towards the earth. This huge, fiery millstone threatened to crush us with its weight. It was a dreadful sensation.”

Page 140 “Another witness, the Reverend Manuel da Silva, wrote a letter to a friend the evening of the thirteenth in which he tried to describe the events of the day. He spoke about the morning’s rain, and then <<immediately the sun came out with a well-defined rim and seemed to come down to the height of the clouds. It started to rotate intermittently around itself like a wheel of fireworks, for about eight minutes. Everything became almost dark and the people’s features became yellow. All were kneeling in the mud.>>

Witness, Inacio Lourenco, was a boy nine years old at the time: “The people cried and wept on the street; they were all pointing towards the sun. It was ‘The Miracle’ promised by Our Lady. I feel unable to describe it as I saw it and felt it at the same time. I was gazing at the sun; it looked so pale to me, it did not blind. It was like a ball of snow rotating upon itself. All of a sudden, it seemed to be falling zigzag, threatening the earth. Seized with fear, I hid myself amidst the people. Everyone was crying, waiting for the end of the world. Nearby, there was a godless man who had spent the morning making fun of the simpletons who had gone to Fatima just to see a girl. I looked at him and he was numbed, his eyes riveted on the sun. I saw him tremble from head to foot. Then he raised his hands towards Heaven, as he was kneeling there in the mud, and cried out, ‘Our Lady, Our Lady!’ Everyone was crying and weeping, asking God to forgive them their sins.

During the minutes that the miracle lasted, everything around us reflected all the colours of the rainbow. We looked at each other and one seemed blue, another yellow, red, and so on. It increased the terror of the people. After ten minutes, the sun resumed its place, as pale, and without splendor. When everyone realized the danger was over, there was an outburst of joy. Everyone broke out in a hymn of praise to Our Lady.>>

As the miracle came to its end and the people arose from the muddy ground, another surprise awaited them. A few minutes before, they had been standing in the pouring rain, soaked to the skin. Now they noticed that their clothes were perfectly dry. How kind was Our Lady to her friends who had braved rain and mud, and put on their very best clothes for her visit.

Page 144 <<The children long before set the day and hour at which it was to take place,>> he said. The news spread quickly over the whole of Portugal and although the day was chilly and pouring rain, many thousands of people gathered… They saw the different manifestations of the sun paying homage to the Queen of Heaven and Earth, who is more radiant than the sun in all its splendor. This phenomenon which no astronomical observatory registered was not natural.

There is no possibility of error or illusion when close to a hundred thousand people concur in their testimony. God in heaven had called the people of the world to join with the heavens in praying honor and glory to His Blessed Mother, Mary.”

I think we have gone far enough through this account of the alleged apparition of Mary at Fatima. However, I would just like to draw your attention to a few of the troubling things that I highlighted for you above.

Point 1. To have creation, in this case, the sun paying homage to Mary, who is referred to as the Queen of Heaven (and Earth), is taking away from the exclusivity of worship belonging to God alone! Although Mary was chosen to become the mother of Jesus in His humanity, it does not elevate her to receive worship! Nowhere in Scripture does anyone worship Mary! Even though Mary was humble and obedient to submit to God’s will, Scripture never instructs us to  worship Mary; we are to worship God alone! I am certain that Mary would agree!

Point 2. Referring to Mary as the Queen of Heaven (and Earth) – This apparition cannot be from God because He would not violate His Word. Nowhere in Scripture is Mary referred to as the Queen of Heaven. God’s Word, however, does speak about a queen of heaven, and God was angry because of the idolatry and wickedness of the people when they chose to burn incense, give offerings, and serve other gods:

“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.” (Jeremiah 7:18 )

“The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein, Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers. Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods. Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day. Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain; In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth? Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem? They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah. And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach. For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.

Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?

Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying, The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind? So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.

Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows. Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth. Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.” (Jeremiah 44:1-27)

Here is a video that makes it very clear regarding how the many messages given during alleged apparitions of Mary are very unbiblical and how the theme in many of the messages talk about unity! Aliens are also briefly mentioned, as well as the Queen of Heaven! Some of the messages that this entity (claiming to Mary) shared with the many visionaries during apparitions are extremely troubling and sent chills up my spine!

Point 3.

God in heaven had called the people of the world to join with the heavens in praying honor and glory to His Blessed Mother, Mary.”

This final section that I highlighted, and added above for you again, is to emphasize the fact that these apparitions are aimed at unifying the people of the world; these apparitions are not just meant for Catholics! They are meant to unify the world in giving worship to Mary! The Mary of the Bible would never want to receive honor and glory that belongs to God alone, and the one true God would never call the people of the world to do such a thing! And, lastly, Mary is not His Blessed Mother; Mary was the mother of Jesus in His humanity, not the mother of God, the Father.

THE UFO/UAP CONNECTION REGARDING FATIMA

As I read the many accounts regarding the description of the sun that were given by the people who were eye witnesses to this supposed miracle of the sun at Fatima, I couldn’t help but wonder if what these people saw was actually a UFO and not the sun at all! If you paid attention to the many descriptions that were given about the sun, then you must realize that they were not describing the characteristics and properties of the sun as we know them to be scientifically. One cannot stare directly at the sun for a long period of time as the thousands of people in Fatima did without causing severe damage to the retinas of our eyes! Also, the sun cannot loosen itself from the sky, rotate like a wheel of fireworks, or plummet down towards the earth! And the actual sun would never be described as a plate of silver or a silver disc having a well defined beveled rim!

In spite of the fact that there have been some reports claiming that not only did the clothing of the people at the apparition site become dry after the alleged miracle of the sun came to an end, but also the muddy ground became dry, the little booklet that I received from my aunt that contains the actual account written by one of the little shepherd children, Lucia De Santos, does not record anything at all about the ground becoming dry after the so-called miracle of the sun came to an end. On Page 140 (see above), it actually states that people had still been kneeling on muddy ground:  

“As the miracle came to its end and the people arose from the muddy ground…”

As I mentioned in the beginning of this post, one of the reason why I believe that UFOs/UAPs are real is not because I have personally seen one, but one of my brothers along with one of my sisters and some of their neighborhood friends did! I only became aware of this back in 2010 when we had a family get-together at my nephew’s house! My dear sister agreed to set aside some time to share her detailed account with me of what occurred on that day so many years ago. I took the facts that she shared with me and created this account. With her permission, here it is:

In Chicago, one summer night after sunset (approximately August 1978), my sister and brother were out in front of the house with their friends. All of a sudden they saw a saucer shaped UFO 100 to 200 ft. in the air right by our house! They weren’t sure how long it had been there, but all of a sudden they saw it! My brother remembers it hovering above the trees right by their house. My sister described the saucer shaped UFO as being dark metal, having no windows, and having alternating sections; one section of metal, one white light, etc. She said the lights were not flashing and that the smooth, soft-edged, rectangular metal sections between each light were rotating. She described this saucer shaped UFO as being as big as a football field(!) and said that it was making a humming sound. She also said that it hovered for awhile and then it turned towards their left and headed towards Belmont Ave., between Central and Austin. They remained calm and were not afraid during the time that it was there. Including my sister and brother they remember there being a total of six to eight children who saw it. The craft was moving slowly, so their friends decided to take off after it and they followed it until it disappeared out of sight further down Belmont Ave. My sister said that their encounter with this extremely large UFO lasted no more than two minutes so they didn’t have  time to run in the house to tell our Mom and Dad. Shortly after the UFO headed towards Belmont Ave. my sister and brother saw three white lights in the sky near their house and their first thought was that more UFOs were coming!! However, to their relief, this object just turned out to be an airplane!

Further below I have added many videos of credible witnesses to UFOs: pilots, policemen, etc. Here, also, are very credible accounts of children — as well as teachers — who have witnessed UFOs landing in their school yards!

Just as many visionaries who allegedly see apparitions of Mary are young children, so also are many who have encounters with UFOs and aliens. Innocent children are being fascinated by these UFOs and thus many — not all — of them are lured into accepting that UFOs and aliens are amazing and benevolent; they do not see them as being forms of spiritual deception leading them towards the world of the occult!

Let’s continue:

Keeping in mind the Scripture that says that the devil can transform himself into an angel of light (2 Corin. 11:14), here are just a few examples of appearances of Mary in which she is: enveloped in light, arrived and left as a ball of light, appeared in a shiny golden sphere, and at times was seen with streams of light emanating from her:

Apparition – Our Lady of La Salette – Sept. 19, 1846 (For further information, see video further below, entitled, Apparition of Our Lady of La Salette).

Apparition – Our Lady Banneux, Belgium 1933

Below you can read a portion of the quick capture that can be read in its entirety in the last two paragraphs. [NOTE: Emphasis is mine.]

January 18, 1933 – At 7:00 p.m., Marlette ran around to her back yard and fell to her knees in silent prayer. Her father thought this was a strange sight and came out to see what was going on. Marlette saw a bright ball of light increasing in size and passing through the pine trees and finally changed into a woman’s silhouette.

January 19, 1933 – At the same time the next day as Marlette prays the rosary with 17 people around her, The Virgin appears for the third time, When Marlette asks her identity she says, “I am the Virgin of the Poor.” They then went to the spring together. Mary declared: “This spring is reserved for all the nations, to bring comfort to the sick.” Just before leaving in a ball of light, she said: “I will pray for you. Good bye.”

Apparition – Our Lady of Prayer L´ lle Bouchard, France 1947 – It is claimed that she appeared in a shiny golden sphere.

“…the girls knelt by the altar, began to recite the Hail Mary. Suddenly a golden sphere three feet across and shining brightly appeared and it opened and became a curtain of silvery light in front of which the grotto appeared and the blessed virgin Mary and the angel…” (37:11-37:34 minute mark in the following video).

Apparition – Jerusalem, Israel July 25, 1954. “Moslems as well as Christians” allegedly saw Mary, and: “Rays of colored light streamed out from her...”

In the video below you will hear about an alleged apparition of Mary in Zeitoun, Egypt where many people — including Muslims — witnessed these apparitions over a period of two to three years starting on April 2, 1968:

“a witness to the vision pointed to what he believed was a young woman about to commit suicide. …first he saw a ball of light. That light developed to be a young lady on top of that dome…”

UNBIBLICAL MESSAGES FROM THE ENTITY CLAIMING TO BE THE VIRGIN MARY

In PART 2 of this series you will find that I shared many examples of the very unbiblical nature of the messages given in many different apparitions in which Mary allegedly appeared. (When time allows, you may want to read through that post for more important information). For the sake of time, and in order to keep this post from getting too lengthy, I will just share the following example in this post. To learn more, I strongly encourage you to also watch the video that I posted above — Messages From Heaven.

In the following video at the 5:20-5:23 minute mark, it is said that the entity claiming to be the virgin Mary stated the following. By doing so this entity is claiming to be omnipresent like God! The true Biblical Mary would never say these things! It is the Holy Spirit who comes to reside within a true believer in the Biblical Jesus Christ!

“Go and show yourselves as my dear children. I am with you and in you.”

DECEPTIVE END TIMES SCENARIOS

“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.” (Genesis 6:1-7)

One of the end time scenarios that has become very popular is regarding the return of the Nephilim. This teaching comes from a distortion of Genesis Chapter 6 that says that the sons of god referred to in this passage are fallen angels who mated with human women and produced giants; the Nephilim. This teaching is based more on mythology and the unbiblical, non-canonical Book of Enoch, which sadly is being endorsed by pastors such as Ken Johnson who also appears at prophecy conferences with other professing Christians who teach this false end times scenario, people such as: Tom Horn, Steve Quayle, L A Marzulli, the late Chuck Missler, and others. Although I will be sharing one of L A Marzulli’s videos for documentational purposes only, I want to make it very clear that I do not endorse any of the above mentioned men!

I do not accept the teaching that some professing Christian teachers and pastors teach regarding the sons of God being (fallen) angels — who are said to have co-mingled with earthly women and produced giants — as being Biblical, mainly because of this Scripture:

“For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”? (Hebrews 1:5) (Also read Psalm 2:7)

Some go even further and (falsely) teach that the reason God sent the flood was because man’s  DNA had been corrupted by the fallen angels intermingling with human women, implying that it was not because of the utter sinfulness of mankind as it states in Genesis Chapter 6!

In this two part video series taught by Pastor Sam Adams of Independence Baptist Church, you will see and hear a comparison between some of the things written in the books of Enoch and Jasher and how they contradict the truth written in God’s Word:

---

Here is a video series in which Sarah Leslie, Gaylene Goodroad (Christian writers at Herescope), and David James (of Biblical Integrity) explain this false teaching and talk about some of the previous men that I mentioned who promote it:

---

---

When I was doing some research on the apparitions of Mary I came across some in which L A Marzulli also makes the connection with UFOs and the supposed miracle of the sun and Fatima. However, I will not be sharing those videos here.

The most troubling thing that I came across regarding L A Marzulli is his appearance at a UFO Conference last year put on by Ozark Mountain Publishing. Here is some information that they have posted on their YouTube Channel:

Below is the video of L A Marzulli’s presentation at this conference. Here are many of the troubling things that he said along with some of the observations that I made as I watched this video, one being that he entitled his message, What Is The Truth, but fails to present the Biblical truth:

“Is it safe to say that some outside agency is manipulating the genome to its own ends; they’re trying to create a hybrid entity. I’ll give you an ancient prophetic text…written 2500 years ago.”

He doesn’t say it’s in Daniel 2:43; I had to look it up and then read it in context. He continues on:

“It says, “Their seed will mingle with the seed of men, but they shall not cleave to them.”

He follows that by saying,

“Sounds like a Nostradamus quatrain.”

Again, he fails to cite Daniel 12:4 as the source of the Scripture that he mentions; he simply refers to what he is about to say as a prophesy:

“…There’s  a prophecy which dovetails into that which says, “In the latter days men will run to and fro over the face of the earth and knowledge will increase.”

Sadly, he goes on to quote from and mention the Book of Enoch and ties it into the UFO abduction phenomenon.

At the 1:07:46 minute mark until the 1:10:27 minute mark, L A Marzulli speaks about the elongated Chongo skulls of Peru and claims that it is “another species.” Some refer to these skulls as Nephilim skulls.

Beginning at the 1:18:20 minute mark he jokingly — but IMHO he compromises with the truth as he gives his presentation and blasphemously — refers to the Holy Spirit as his spirit guide:

“…so this is going to be weird for some of you, but I’ll tell you what happened, and it’s not what you think, but I’m going to couch it in terms so that we can all agree that this is what happened, okay? My spirit guide taps me on the shoulder…and he’s not who you think he is, but that’s okay, that’s the subject for another time…and says, “You need to take authority over this right now…”

Towards the very end of his presentation, beginning at the 1:45:46 minute mark, L A says the following:

“Many of the Neo-Darwinists believe all life was seeded here by an advanced race of extraterrestrials –panspermia.

In part, he begins to wrap up his presentation not with any statement in order to plant the seeds of Biblical truth in the minds and hearts of all these people in attendance who are caught up in the world of the occult in order to try and answer the unspoken questions that people have about the  meaning and purpose of life, some of the very questions that he poses to those attending this conference and watching via YouTube or wherever else these presentations are available to watch. No, sadly, instead, he chooses to end his presentation with this very troubling, hopeless, Christless, statement:

“…as I said right at the outset, “Who are we? What are we? How did we get here? What is this? Nobody knows. Where is consciousness? Where does it reside? What is language? How do we hear? “…So the Neo-Darwinists are looking for the extraterrestrial.”

“So, we’re being visited, and at some point they will show up. 

At the 147:26 minute mark he shows this slide: Note that he simply refers to it as a “2000 year old prophesy” and does not include Luke 21:26 where this Scripture is found in God’s Word.

He does go on to quote and post Revelation 13:16-18 regarding the mark of the beast and how no one will be able to buy or sell without this mark, but instead of giving a Biblical interpretation of this passage in its proper context, he ties it in with aliens by saying all of the following:

“What happens if they come back and they say something like: “Hey. We created all life on this planet, and we have this little, this little implant that we’d like to give you which will extend your lifespan 300 years to 500 years disease free…disease free! It’s yours! All you got to do is take the implant, it’s a DNA upgrade…how many people in this room — raise your hands — would take it?”

Many people in the audience raised their hands, to which L A responded in part by saying:

“This is what I’m afraid of because many people will take it because it will be couched in such a way that will seem…look, I’m not making this stuff up! You guys can call me crazy, I don’t care, okay? All I’m doing is reporting what was written 2000 years ago in an ancient prophetic text, that’s all I’m doing. I’m not sounding religious, I’m not telling you to go do anything, I’m just telling you what was written 2000 years ago and how it totally dovetails, in my opinion, to what we took out of Bill’s leg before with Dr. Roger Leir.” [NOTE: A man named Bill was allegedly abducted by aliens and an implant was said to have been removed from his leg.]

L A goes on to show another slide which is Revelation 14:9-11 as well as Revelation 9:6. He adds that, in his opinion, mankind’s lifespan will be lengthened by the implant. He goes on to say:

“We posit that this thing [implants that have been discovered in so-called alien abductees] actually is changing the host’s DNA.” “I’m not saying, I can’t prove that that implant is in fact the mark of the beast, but that’s where I’m putting my honest money right now…that’s what I think it is because there’s a steady progression of it, it it dovetails in with this ancient prophetic stuff, we’ve seen them, we’ve cut them open.” What happens when you take this thing? If it changes your DNA — and this is the question you each, each person has to ask himself  — does it alter your humanity? Does it turn you into something else?

“What’s really going on here? What’s really happening? And all this is surreptitious; it’s always done under the cover of darkness…it’s always cloaked, it’s always hidden, it’s always obfuscated.”

He closes his presentation by quoting Jacques Vallee in which he mainly says that what abductees go through “is reminiscent of medieval tales of encounters with demons.”

His final words in his presentation were:

“What was written will come to pass. What was foretold is unfolding…”

Just to give you an example of some of the presentations that are given at these UFO conferences, here are some of the occultic and troubling things that speaker, Sherry Wilde, (who claims to be in contact with aliens), had to say:

LOOKING FOR THAT BLESSED HOPE

We are not to be watching for appearances of Mary, the return of the Nephilim, aliens, or for the anti-Christ to appear. Instead it is made very clear to us in Scripture that we are to be watching for the return of Jesus Christ. Consider these Scriptures:

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 24:36-51 – KJV)

[NOTE: I believe that Scripture teaches a pre-tribulation rapture. However, this passage of Scripture is wrongly used by some pastors and teachers to illustrate the rapture. If one takes the time to read the parallel passage in Luke 17:34-37, Jesus tells His disciples where the ones shall be taken –not to heaven, but to destruction:

“I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.” “Where, Lord?” they asked. He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.”]

Continuing on with a few more verses:

“For our conversation [our citizenship] is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ; Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. ” (Philippians 3:20 – KJV)

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.” Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 – KJV)

“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” (Titus 2:13,14 – KJV)

“Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2 Timothy 4:8 – KJV)

 

WITH ALL THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD LATELY, ARE WE NOW BEING PREPARED FOR WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE STRONG DELUSION?

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

Is it just coincidence that the Pentagon released their report at the end of June 2021 regarding all that it (supposedly) knows regarding unidentified flying objects (UFOs), which are now referred to as: Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon –UAPs? Or are we being prepared for what could be the greatest deception that the world has ever seen?! Consider just these few things that have happened since 2020:

A sixth branch of the United States Military was created under the leadership of President Trump. It “…is the newest branch of the Armed Forces, established December 2019 with enactment of the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act.”SOURCE – ABOUT SPACE FORCE (Also see video below: ‘Trump Unveils Space Force Flag’).

Multiple Pentagon videos have been released that show UFOs/UAPs defying our laws of physics as reported by Navy pilots.

The Pentagon releases a report in June 2021 admitting that UFOs/UAPs are real, but they don’t know what they are or where they are coming from.

While many believe that at least 97% of UFO sightings end up to be natural phenomenon such as satellites, comets, etc., there are many credible witnesses such as police and pilots, people who are well trained observers, who have seen them in very close proximity! Consider watching this short 13:48 minute video to hear about what they observed:

60 MINUTES – BILL WHITAGER INTERVIEWS NAVY PILOTS ABOUT THEIR ENCOUNTERS WITH UFOS AND UAPS

---

ANOTHER AIR FORCE PILOT GIVES AN IN DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE MANEUVERS THAT THESE UFO/UAPS ARE CAPABLE OF THAT DEFY OUR LAWS OF PHYSICS

---

Luis Elizondo, former director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), in detail, clearly explains about the capabilities of these unidentified crafts, and also how our country, as well as our adversaries, presently do not have the technology to make such crafts that defy our laws of physics in many ways. He also shares his valid reasons for submitting his resignation to the Department of Defense on October 4, 2017:

---

Beginning at the 3:45 minute mark to the 7:17 minute mark in the video further below, you will hear the following shocking — as well as revealing — facts regarding UFOs/UAPs:

Luis: “There is historical radar data that we have that goes many decades where these things have been clocked doing 13, 14, 15,000 miles an hour not just by one radar –multiple radars.”

“…I had one — I remember the conversation very well — this is a person I respected tremendously…very, very senior person…he told me, he said, “Lou, I want you to stop –stop doing this.” I said, “Okay, sir, I certainly can, but may I ask why?” He said, “Well, we already know what it is.” Now at that moment I honestly thought maybe it was our own technology I was running up against, some super uber secret sap, and you know they were telling me to stop, and I said, “Okay, sir. So, so it’s ours?” And he said, “No, that’s not what I’m saying.” And he said — he asked me point blank — “Have you read your Bible lately?” and I wasn’t quite sure where it was going. With that I said, “Well, sir. I, I think I know what it says. Where are you going with this?” And he said, “Well, then you would know that these things are demonic, and we should not be pursuing them.” Yeah, and he wasn’t kidding me, but that’s exactly how he felt.”

Host: So this is a Pentagon, Department of Defense official, saying, ‘Stop looking at UFOs because they’re demonic?’

Luis: “Correct.”

Host seemingly mockingly replies: “But if something demonic is flying over our skies, wouldn’t religious people want to fight them?”

In part, Luis replies by saying: “…I’m a religious person, but you know there was a time where the church wouldn’t even look through a telescope of Galileo because it conflicted with their narrative only to, you know, years later them to come out and actually now, you know, use the grandeur of the universe to support their, you know, philosophical and theological belief system. So, I am under the presumption that more data is good, and I don’t think we should ever be fearful of data. And it doesn’t matter if they are, at the end of the day, some super secret for an adversarial technology that’s leapfrogged us, or if it’s little green men from Mars, or if it’s demons. We need to figure it out because its in our airspace. And, by the way, it doesn’t care if what we think because it’s there and it’s interacting, with not even that just our military, but even civilian aircraft and civilians.”

Official in the Department of Defense, who appears to be a Christian, said this to warn Luis Elizondo regarding UFOs/UAPs:

  TYING THIS ALL TOGETHER

SOME WHAT IFS TO CONSIDER:

Dear reader. Regarding all of the information that I have added above, here are some real possible scenarios that may happen:

1. What if these alleged apparitions of Mary are being used to bring about the one world religion? We see evidence of this in the messages given during many of these different apparitions. We also see evidence of this when thousands of Muslims (as well as Hindus and Buddhists) are also gathering at these apparition sites. (Read PART 2 to see documentation). Fatima was the name of one of Mohammed’s daughters and the Muslims greatly revere Mary. Also, Mary (known as Maryam to Muslims) is mentioned in the Quran seventy times!

---

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs, and  wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.”

2. Keeping the above Scripture in mind, what if this strong delusion spoken of in Scripture is that God will give people over to the lie of evolution because people rejected the truth, not only the truth of creation as recorded in Genesis, but also the rejection of the truth of the Biblical gospel; that we are sinners in need of a Savior, and that God loved us so much that He sent His one and only begotten Son into the world — Jesus Christ — to live the perfect, sinless life that we could never live, so that He would be the perfect Lamb of God who would take upon Himself all of our sins, guilt, and shame, die in our place on the cross at Calvary, be buried, and rise again in bodily form three days later so that we could be forgiven and covered with His righteousness?

To elaborate even further:

What if the day comes when an actual UFO/UAP lands and an alien steps out proclaiming to be the savior of mankind and presents mankind with the lie; a false gospel rooted in evolution that basically says we were seeded here on earth by an alien civilization billions of years ago and that they have come to help us evolve so that we will then be able to realize our own divinity? There have actually been people who claim to have been told this when they have had encounters with aliens. 

What if these so-called aliens also promise that by accepting and embracing this new revelation of one’s divinity and spiritual transformation, it will finally bring about worldwide peace?

What if thousands upon thousands of people accept the belief — the lie — that we were seeded by an alien civilization billions of years ago?  

IN CLOSING

You may think that I have lost my mind, but there is a real convergence taking place these days between many professing Christians and those who are involved in many New Age/New Spirituality movements. I have mentioned a few of them and gave you an example with L A Marzulli. It is up to you, dear reader, if you are a true follower of Jesus Christ, to test the spirits and test everything that you listen to and read, regardless of how Biblical of a teacher, pastor, or writer one may appear to be! If you are truly a follower of Jesus Christ you will devote yourselves to the reading and studying of God’s Word and not follow after those who promote things that appeal to your fleshly senses. Jesus strongly warned us about deception being the predominant sign that we are living in the end of days by listing that first, There are also warnings in the Book of Acts about how false teachers will arise even from among us and how in the end times people will follow seducing spirits and doctrines of demons and turn their ears away from the truth and turn to fables/myths!

“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” (Matthew 24:3-8 – KJV)

“And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.” (Acts 20:25-31 – KJV)

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” (1 Timothy 4:1 – KJV)

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” (2 Timothy 4:1-4 – KJV)

 

Mary indeed was blessed among women to be chosen to be the mother of Jesus Christ in His humanity. She was a humble and obedient woman who clearly placed her faith and trust in God. The true Biblical Mary would never claim to be omnipresent as this entity claiming to be Mary in these apparitions does! Mary would also never ask for shrines and chapels to be built in her honor or ask for devotion to her “immaculate heart,” as this entity requested in some of the messages given in apparitions. She would never ask to be declared Co-redeemer or Co-Mediatrix as this entity also requested in some of the apparitions that have taken place. (Again, please consider reading Part 2 in this series and watching the video, Messages From Heaven). The Scriptures reveal that Mary always pointed people to Jesus; she never drew attention to herself. It is made very clear in Scripture that God does not share His glory with anyone:

“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” (Isaiah 42:11)

However, on page 52, in the little booklet that I have of Lucia de Santos’ account of the alleged apparitions of Mary at Fatima, it states the following regarding what Mary allegedly said to Lucia on June 13, 1917. Note how this is to be a worldwide devotion. Note also how this entity claims to promise salvation:

“Jesus wants to use you to make me known and loved. He wants to establish the Devotion to my Immaculate Heart in the World. I promise salvation to those who embrace it…”

 

Jesus would never send that kind of message. He told His disciples that they were to go into all the world and preach the gospel; He never instructed them to establish devotion to Mary.

Mary is mentioned just a few times in Scripture, and she would never  desire our devotion or to be worshiped! Satan, on the other hand, has always desired to be worshiped and he will take it any way that he can, whether it’s through leading thousands of people into deception by lying signs and wonders such as apparitions of Mary, Joseph, angels, and even through encounters with UFOs and aliens who present some people with a false gospel saying things such as: “There is no such thing as sin.” “We came to help you realize your own divinity.” “Jesus came to show us how to reach Christ consciousness.”

Many messages given to visionaries during apparitions of Mary, echo the messages given during many New Age visions of Mary as clearly shown by former Marian devotee, Timothy Kauffman, in his very shocking presentation:

As I finally bring this post to a close, I would like to share three more Scriptures with you:

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9)

“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” (2 Corinthians 11:2-4)

“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.” (Isaiah 43:10,11)

“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.” (2 Peter 1:16)

 

We are definitely living in the last days! I pray that you will seek God in His Word for His truth, wisdom, and discernment so that you will not be deceived by the many different forms of spiritual deception that is enveloping our world, and sadly, entering the Church, as well! Jesus Christ is our only hope and assurance for salvation –not Mary:

“Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.” (John 14:6)

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5)

“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25)

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:1,2)

“If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.  (1 John 5:9-13)

[NOTE: These videos (especially the ones from the History Channel), are for sources as well as documentational purposes; I do not agree with everything that the History Channel presents on their site, especially the ones about ancient aliens. Many who share their experiences regarding their sightings of UFOs/UAPs in the following videos are very credible witnesses, such as navy pilots, policemen, etc., people who have been trained to study and to identify aircraft for security purposes.]

HOW THE ACCEPTANCE OF UFOS/UAPS AND ALIEN BEINGS CAN ALTER ONE’S BELIEFS

REGARDING THE ORIGIN OF LIFE, STARTING AT THE 3:29 MINUTE MARK IN THE FOLLOWING VIDEO, FORMER DIRECTOR OF THE VATICAN OBSERVATORY,  GEORGE COIN, S.J., STATES THAT WE — AS WELL AS JESUS CHRIST — WERE MADE FROM STAR DUST:

However, in Genesis, God’s Word says that He created man, and he was created from the dust of the earth/ground –not stardust:

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” (Genesis 1:26-31)

“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7)

THE VATICAN AND ALIENS

In THIS ARTICLE, (which mainly addresses how Pope Francis said that he would baptize Martians if they came here), this is what Argentine Jesuit priest, Jose Fumes, the Vatican’s chief astronomer, had to say regarding the possibility of extraterrestrial life:

“The Vatican’s chief astronomer, Argentine Jesuit father Jose Fumes, explained the possibility of extraterrestrial life in 2008 when he too said that God’s mercy could be offered to aliens if it were needed. He even cited Pope Francis’ namesake to make his point. “This is not in contrast with the faith, because we cannot place limits on the creative freedom of God,” Fumes said. “To use St. Francis’ words, if we consider earthly creatures as ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters,’ why can’t we also speak of an ‘extraterrestrial brother?’”

SERMON SUNDAY

A dear friend of mine told me about a church in Florida that seems to be a Biblically based church. Even though it’s way too far from where I live to ever think of attending there, I decided to listen to two of their sermons and have truly been blessed by the teachings of Pastor Green of Eastland Baptist Church. I hope that those of you who choose to listen to this sermon will be blessed too!

Thank you very much for stopping by today.

God Bless You

UPDATE:

Today and this past week, I have spent many hours writing and adding documentation to Part 3 in the series, ‘Apparitions Of The Virgin Mary Or Demons In Disguise – Examining The Evidence In Light Of Scripture.’  Lord willing, I should have it done and will publish it some time this coming Wednesday, October 13th, which coincides with the anniversary of the alleged Miracle of the Sun that took place back in Fatima in 1917. I hope that you will consider stopping by and reading this post.
