What the experts say about AIDS Dec 13, 2008 7:44 am
124 Views
Dr. Charles Thomas, Molecular Biologist and former Harvard and Johns Hopkins Professor:

"The HIV-causes-AIDS dogma represents the grandest and perhaps the most morally destructive fraud that has ever been perpetrated on young men and women of the Western world," (Sunday Times (London)

and

AIDS has been a disease of definition. If we said that it didn't exist and didn't pay for it with taxpayers' money, it would disappear in the background of normal mortality."

and

"I feel that for scientists to remain silent in the face of all this doubt is tantamount to criminal negligence."

```````````````````````

Dr. Roger Cunningham, Immunologist, Microbiologist and Director of the Centre for Immunology at the State University of New York at Buffalo

"Unfortunately, an AIDS 'establishment' seems to have formed that intends to discourage challenges to the dogma on one side and often insists on following discredited ideas on the other." (Sunday Times (London)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

this one tells of the AZT actually killing people:

Dr. Alfred Hässig, Emeritus Professor in Immunology at the University of Bern, former Director Swiss Red Cross blood banks:

"The sentence of death accompanying the medical diagnosis of AIDS should be abolished." (Sunday Times (London) 3 April 1994)

"In the virological research, so much money is invested, and the research people want to stay in that area because if you deviate to research in other directions probably other people come in and must be funded." (Meditel 1992)

"Virologist have nothing new to offer. They keep coming up with excuses, they find constant growth and change in the virus structure, it evades, attacks, strange things, but none of them has the courage to explain properly how these things could possibly be so." (Continuum Jan/Feb 1996)

"AZT (anti-viral AIDS medicine) has, in countless cases, brought about the inevitable and slow asphyxiation of the patient's body cells. The doctors wrongly diagnose the fatal consequences of AZT medication as AIDS following a prior HIV infection. Treatment with AZT and allied toxic substances may be equivalent to joining a suicide squad with a time fuse."

"It is the duty of every doctor to preserve life at any cost -- and not death-curse people based on any test so they are so frightened they kill themselves. I am sad to say that these voodoo methods were practised despite there never being any proof that the detected antibodies are an indication of mortality in all diagnosed people. I consider it medical malpractice to push patients into dying by prophesying an early death. We are medical scientists, not prophets!"

The Counterfeit Christ

While New Age thinkers advocate Eastern mysticism, they often attempt to clothe it in Christian terminology. That’s because those who grow up in Western society find Eastern spirituality and thought to be very different and foreign. Growing up in the Western world makes it difficult for some people to totally shed their religious heritage. So New Agers repackage Eastern mysticism to make it more acceptable to the Western mind.

New Agers have taken the Christ of the Bible and totally reinterpreted and repackaged Him as the New Age Jesus. New Agers separate the historical Jesus of Nazareth from the Christ-consciousness that He came to attain. Jesus is not the Way, the Truth, and the Life; He is a way-shower. He is one of the Ascended Masters who realized oneness with God, but He is not viewed as the unique and divine Son of God. To New Agers, Christ is one of the monistic masters in a whole pantheon of deities.

The counterfeit Christ of the New Age movement is being repackaged as a tolerant, broad-minded, nonjudgmental teacher. He is a way-shower who points men toward the god within themselves. As the cosmic Christ, He is now one of the Ascended Masters who continues to reveal Himself as an emissary of the kingdom of light.

In his study the Counterfeit Christ of the New Age Movement, Ron Rhodes points out that New Agers have three ways of explaining away orthodox Christian beliefs:

1. They speak of supposed discoveries of hidden writings about Christ (e.g., Gnostic Gospels)

2. They promote new revelations of truth about Jesus from psychics and channelers

3. They speak of esoteric interpretations (deeper meanings) of Scripture.

While the specific details may vary, all New Age thinkers agree that Christ is only one of many Ascended Masters who may serve as guides to the truth. New Age Christology is drawn from a vast array of existing religious and philosophical concepts that are eclectic and syncretistic to the extreme. In a do-it-yourself religion, one ought not be surprised to find a make-your-own Jesus!

The Apostle Paul’s warning to the Galatians (1:6- still applies today: “I am shocked that you so quickly deserted the grace of Christ for another gospel ... that would pervert the Gospel of Christ.” New ideas may come and go, but only the Jesus of the Bible will stand the test of time. He and He alone can meet the deepest needs of the human heart.

Scientific Mysticism Dec 13, 2008 5:18 am

Scientific Mysticism

Modern man has reached the point where he does not want to face the logical consequences of a secular world without God. But instead of repenting of his rebellion against God, he has now turned to a kind of scientific mysticism that has been popularized as the New Age movement. Modern New Age mysticism is a combination of transcendentalism, spiritualism, Oriental mysticism, and transpersonal psychology.

Key elements of new age thought include restructuring the mind through meditation, sensory deprivation (for example, flotation therapy), and the self-tuning of the mind and body to become receptors and transmitters of cosmic forces. Psychic therapies claim to manipulate “life energies” to provide inner healing of individuals and to promote human relationships in harmony with cosmic forces.

It is this merging of scientific mysticism with a rejection of materialistic secularism that has resulted in New Age thinking. This thinking then couples with the human potential movement, which offers a number of techniques for advancing one’s metaphysical evolution. Since all ideas have political consequences, we should not be surprised to discover that the political agenda of New Age thinking includes ecological concerns, sexual equality, and the unification of the world order by the transformation of the current political order through a “planetary consciousness.”

The New Age transformationalists seek the total transformation of society along ideological lines consistent with their own beliefs. By challenging the “myths” of matter, time, space, and death, New Agers believe they will release our untapped human potential to create a new and better world.

It is this kind of mental gymnastics that enables New Agers to redefine the terms and concepts of spirituality. They are ready to accept the earth or the self as God. They believe in extraterrestrial beings, angels, demons, witches, and wizards. Their influence can be seen in movies like Star Wars, Ghost, Field of Dreams, E.T., and Dances with Wolves. They see great spirituality in a diversity of role models, such as Native American medicine men, Hindu gurus, Tibetan lamas, Sufi mystics, Zen teachers, and Oriental hermits. But they are united in their rejection of God the Father, the deity of Christ, and the personality of the Holy Spirit.

the New Theology Dec 13, 2008 5:14 am
84 Views
New Age “theology” represents a do-it-yourself form of religion. One can pick and choose whatever ideas, beliefs, concepts, and concerns happen to appeal to one’s personally. The rest can merely be set aside; they need not be rejected.

The bottom line is obvious. New Age theology rests upon pantheism, which is succinctly summarized in the following words:

All is God,

God is all,

Man is part of it,

Therefore, man is God.

According to New Age philosophy, the only thing separating man from God is his own consciousness, not his sin. Thus, “New Agers” propose finding God within one’s self by altering one’s consciousness through such means as meditation, chanting, channeling, sensory expansion, ecstatic dancing, and even fire walking. The New Age approach to spirituality is more a matter of experience than belief. An altered conscience is said to lead to self-realization, which then results in personal transformation (the New Ager’s “salvation”). In this process, personal experience becomes the final authority for defining one’s spiritual journey.

In his book, A Crash Course on the New Age Movement, Elliot Miller defines the New Age movement as an informal network of individuals and organizations bound together by common values (mysticism and monism) and a common vision (the coming New Age of Aquarius).

Within the New Age network are several separate strands that interconnect:

1. Consciousness movement: those advocating the expansion of human consciousness by altered mental states, resulting in the expansion of human awareness.

2. Holistic health: those encouraging better food and diet for better mental and spiritual development.

3. Human potential: the self-help psychology of self-awareness, self-actualization, and self-improvement.

4. Eastern mysticism: various gurus advocating transcendental meditation, astral projection, reincarnation, and various Hindu doctrines that view the material world as illusionary.

5. Occultism: pseudoscientific return to witchcraft, satanism, shamans, mediums, palm readers, and Tarot cards.

The blend of these elements varies with every individual and every subgroup within the New Age network. Some lean toward ecological issues (save the planet); others lean toward global peace issues (make love, not war); and still others prefer a mystical orientation that mixes meditation, yoga, ESP, and astrology with a strong belief in reincarnation. The combinations of any of these elements are like fingers of an intellectual hand reaching out to potential followers.

Miller states, “New Agers tend to be eclectic; they draw what they think is the best from many sources. Long-term exclusive devotion to a single teacher, teaching or technique is not the norm. They move from one approach to another in their spiritual quests.” Thus, the subjective guides of experience and intuition are the final authorities for New Age thinkers. The Bible and the Gospel message are vehemently rejected. Because there is no objective truth, the New Ager creates his or her own subjective truth. Therefore, the uniqueness of the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ is quickly rejected.

Here in the United States, tithing was not taught until 1887. The reformists did not believe it was a true doctrine and yet now it is taught despite no new testament, covenant scriptural basis.

many things have been taught in the last 150 years that were not taught before. Cyrus Scofield of the Scofield bible fame, as well as the shame of many scandals is the first to come up with a concept of Christs' return before the time of the great tribulation.

but when we look at Revelations, all it really is, is the Revelation of Jesus Christ as Savior and redemer.

this is what Chapter one says. It is very consise on who it is written to.

(NAS Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John, 2 who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. 4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood-- 6 and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father--to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

John wrote to the 7 churches, to the bond servants of things which must soon take place. He wrote to churches that were greatly persecuted from prison, not being able to work and being put to death all because they believed on Jesus Christ. He also wrote in symbolism in case the writings were intercepted.

His Love in Your Spirit
By Gene Edwards

Most of us have a very poor opinion of ourselves. It is a Christian disease. And you would think God had an even worse opinion of us. He doesn't. Why does He have such a high opinion of us? Everything negative ended on the Cross. It was done, finished. He emerges from the smoke and fire a passionate Lord. He does not care what you were. He is not interested in the old creation. Or its fall. Or what used to be here. Is God enamored, then, with what He did for you? I am utterly amazed at the way He forgot it all! He does not care about what He did on the cross. It is over. It is done. It is finished. He got what He wanted. You are part of His bride; you are perfect, pure. You are holy. You are a virgin. He is only wanting one thing. He wants you to start loving Him. Now! Hang the future. Forget the past. There is only one thing left and it is right now.

"Lord Jesus, You said I was beautiful. I'm not going to argue the point. I am beautiful. You Lord, cannot see that I am a fallen being. You are no longer capable of that. I see I am. I feel I am. I know I am. But Lord, You do not know these things. I am just going to stop being bothered by it all. I know about my terrible state. I am going to take Your view. I am not here to be a forgiven sinner. I am not here to know that I have been made perfect. I have been made perfect. Today, I sin, but for Your sake, I must not let that get me down. In some amazing, incredible way, these things do not even bother You. You see me on a different plane, in a different dimension, in another creation. Lord, You want just one thing out of me. You want me to stand here and let You love me. You want me more than anything in the universe. As of right now, You've got me. You have forgotten everything, I forget everything. Do what you wish, love me."

What we are dealing with are things we just do not want to believe. You are almost repelled by such an idea. And yet, you want to believe it. If you ever do start believing it, there will be no event that ever happens to you but what you will sit down in front of it and rest.

I heard someone pray, "Lord, we are not worthy of this love." That has got to go. I heard someone else, "Teach me to love You and receive Your love." That has got to go. There is no more future. There no more, "Lord, teach me. . ." There is no more, Lord, my sinfulness." "Now" is a big word in God's universe. Get to the now. Love your Lord. Now. With all your heart. Now. The Lord Jesus Christ is looking for someone who will turn around and say, "Lord, I am blind to what I know about myself and to what is a space-time reality. I am open to all that You DO NOT know, or things You think are true which I believe cannot be true. I forget that You made a great mistake in educating me. I believe what You believe. . . about me. I believe You love me. I open my being to You. I embrace You. I yield utterly; You are free to love me. Let love begin." It is like He is waiting for someone in the universe to be so daring as to dare to believe the absurd; to believe the ridiculous; to dare to believe what He sees. In that moment He gets His bride. Either God is God or He is not. Either He loves you or He does not. Either He died for you and it is finished or it is not. Either you are a holy, precious, beautiful, flawless, blameless, perfect, glorious virgin or you are not. Either He wishes to pour out His love on you right now or He does not. It is so easy to find out what is real. How? Yield! No. Crumble.

His Goodness and Kindness or your words and actions Dec 12, 2008 4:45 am
87 Views
The word says that it is God's goodness and kindness that brings a person to repentance. So he is being drawn to God by God, and not mans words or actions. The word also says that some will come by fear, but he would rather they come by love.

The Holy Spirit does indeed convict the lost world of its sin. The world knows how nasty it is. Jesus took the sin of the world on that cross that day. All of it, past present and future. Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the World. I believe John the Baptist said that.

Where does our strength really come from? Is it in working for our salvation of which God's word says that it is a free gift that is not accomplished in works? Or is it found in working from our salvation, one in which Jesus says that who his father has given him, no one can snatch from his hand?

Din is not the issue. Understanding abiding is. Jesus said he is the vine and we are the branches. Paul later said it was no longer him living but Christ living through him. Salvation is receiving Christ. Productive living in Christianity is Christ the Vine living through the extensions of the branches.

Sin isnt the issue here. The law itself was nailed on the cross. The ten commandmnts were abolished. So what replaced them? Jer 31"31-34" predicted this. It states that the old covenant law will be replaced and that God will write moral law of right and wrong on our hearts as believers. Col 2 deals with this. Hebrews 7 and 8 deal with this. We are stuck way back in kindergarden if we concern ourselves with sin. Sin is not the problem. The problem is learning to not be empowered by yourself in doing something and daily allowing him to live through you as Jesus prescribed and Paul learned to do. Its not a sin to fail. God is not a counter of sin to the believer. We do get attitudes that we need to repent from. We can do all things Paul tells us, but he also says not all things are profitable.

How not to lose out on any of your favorite blogs Dec 11, 2008 3:56 am
165 Views
I personally have not been around to that many blogs lately. Some of it was work constraints. But if you want to be able to keep up with a persons blog then when you get there click on watch the blog and it will keep you abreast of it. How many the person writes and if they have written any.

If you have one post that you like you can click on watch post and it will keep you up on any additional posts made on that subject.

Then above all the posts there is a real nice alternative to see what has been posted during the day. Its called view all. I use that too when I want to see what has been posted.It has multiple pages of the postings made by all of the bloggers. Its fast, and it is easy to use.

I consider blogging a personal thing and also an information highway. Sometimes I put up a lot of posts on subjects that I consider that perhaps a few people will benefit from. Last night I put up several that I believe are very strong truths that can help people get away from concentrating on the wrong things in life.

I am not going to apologize for putting up a bunch of great articles. They are now immortalized in my blog. I also do not get upset at anyone else for putting up as many posts in a day as they wish to. I have seen people do it with a lot less material and a lot less meaning. But, it's their blogs. Thats why I do not whine. If I want to read them I read them. Same here. If you want to read them then you can. If not thats fine too.

FREE FROM THE YOKE OF SLAVERY

By: Bob George

Under the law we become hypocrites. The word comes from the Greek theatre. A hypocrite is not an imperfect person; a hypocrite is an actor, a pretender. What made the Pharisees hypocrites was not their faults: It was their pretense that they were righteous. It was teaching one thing and doing another. But that is what law will always produce: people who are always hiding their real selves, always acting, always pretending, and never being real.

But what happens when we are set free by grace? One of the most common testimonies I hear is, "For the first time in my life, I am free to just be myself! I'm free to be me."

The ultimate consequence of living under law is outright rebellion ­ when you give up because of the hopelessness of ever making it.

Time and time again, I have seen these people who have been branded as "rebels against God" or "back-slidden Christians" come out of their chairs in excitement and joy as they learn for the first time about the incredible grace, love and acceptance of God in Jesus Christ.

In all my years as a Christian, I have never heard anyone say, "I've had it! I am sick to death of the love and grace of God. I'm sick of other Christians loving and accepting me. I'm giving up this Christian life." No I've never heard that. But I couldn't count the number of Christians I've known who have given up because of being under law, who have been broken by the crushing burden of trying to be good enough to earn God's acceptance, who have been mangled by the competition, the judging, and the demands to conform to some group's standards. "We'll accept you if you look like, walk like, talk like, and act like us." And the implication is always, "And God will, too." So what are we to do?

Jesus Christ came to free us from the burden of the law by calling us to a life united with His. We are beloved, accepted children of God, who have been called to His "banquet table" to experience Jesus Christ living in and through us every day. Abundant life is not "pie-in-the-sky" or nebulous theory. It is real, and it is ours for the taking if we will only believe. Let's not settle for anything less.
