The following links entitled “The Atlantis Connection” & “Secret Mysteries of Americas Beginnings” are films about America’s occult origins, its link to the “New Age” movement, and the occult destiny of America. The film is based upon the research of, film maker, Christian J. Pinto; author of “The Hidden Faith of our Founding Fathers” & “Riddles in Stone”.
It’s sad that the devil has successfully duped the church into believing that understanding the word as it was written is irrelevant. There are many who have put reading and understanding the word on the back burner in favor of a “revelation” as if they have had some insight into the word that those that seek the word cannot have. This is a classic trick of the word of faith movement who violate the word often, to make you believe that “personal revelation” trumps true word revelation. Understanding the word is a combination of study and prayer. You cannot raise one above the other. The church at large is imploding because of this philosophy that studying the word in the original language and referring to commentaries is somehow a fruitless endeavor. Don’t believe the hype! To stray from the use of scholars as well as the use other reference books to unlock the text of scripture in favor of some ethereal “knowledge” is called “Gnosticism,” a heretical practice that the early church condemned. Combine your prayer life with diligent and thorough study and you will find God’s truth. Remember…it is the word that frees us not our perceived “oneness” with the Spirit of God. Knowing the word is walking in his word, and walking in the Spirit requires understanding the word. We must fight the urge not to rightfully study the word and become diligent as not to fall for the wisdom of crafty men with worldly wisdom clothed in Godliness. As I often say in my radio show…DO THE WORK!
Jesus warned his disciples of deception that was intended for the church.
Mark 13 5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives ***YOU***.
So the deception is not just for those who don’t know God. It is also designed to deceive Christians; especially during what Jesus called the “great tribulation”, which will occur shortly before Christ’s return.
Mark 13 21 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23 But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.
Before the great tribulation, the world will be dominated by a world church (Revelation 17). It will deceive all of the nations of the world
Revelation 17 1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show
you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
It is because this false church will dominate the world’s understanding of what it means to be a Christian, that God, before hand, told us not to be deceived by it, and also to come out of it. He tells us to come out of it, because many of his elect have been raised within it from childhood.
Revelation 18 4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Some of the people that God has already called out of this church were priests, and monks, within this church, such as Martin Luther and John Hus. Many of them were killed by this false church. That is why the Bible said that it is drunk with the blood of the saints (Revelation 17:6). During its first reign over the kings of, what Daniel called, the “fourth kingdom”, it was reported to have killed about 50 million people through its crusades and inquisitions (Daniel 8).
Revelation 17 shows us that it will rule over the kings of the fourth kingdom before the great tribulation (Revelation 17:1-3).
The beast is the office of the pope. Throughout the church age, the popes have claimed to be “The Holy Father”, “The Father”/pope means father, “The Vicar of Christ”/antichirst, and Christ veiled in human flesh. The fourth kingdom/Europe believed this heresy, and idolatry, and thought that this madness was Christianity. If only they were able to read the Bible. Then they would have been able to see for themselves that this was the opposite of Chris’s church, and that the popes were Christ’s enemies.
Matthew 24 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no
The VICARS OF CHRIST “Vicar of Christ”, which means: to reign in the place of Christ. “Antichrist” means: one who puts himself in the place of Christ. It also means: the opponent of Christ.
one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. Luke 21 8 And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore ***do not go after them***.
These are the popes; the little horn of Daniel 7:19-25, Daniel 8:23-25, and it will come back during the great tribulation (Revelation 13, Revelation 17).
So the concept of a Universal church is not a theory, but Bible prophecy, because the Bible tells us that the fourth kingdom will rule over the earth, and that the capital of the fourth kingdom is the little horn/Roman Catholicism & the popes.
The knowledge of the fourth kingdom’s efforts to take over the world is as common as their slogan, which is “the new world order”. It means “a one world government for the entire world to be ruled by.” Many coming out of Europe have been working toward this goal, such as the Jesuits, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, The Illuminati, Roman Catholicism, Skull & Bones, The Bohemian Club, The CFR, The United Nations, The European Union, International Bankers, The super rich corporations & families of the West (America & Europe), and many others. And all of these are working together as one, for the purpose of bringing about a new world order, and “Coexistence”. They claim to be working toward establishing peace and security for the world, just as the Bible foretold (1Thessalonians 5:1-6).
1Thessalonians 5:2-3
There is a very religious element to this conspiracy. It operates according to the principal of ecumenism, for the purpose of creating a universal religion, that consist of all of the world’s religions, under the leadership of the new world order’s government. Within this one world religion is Christianity, and its intent is for Christianity to be led by Roman Catholicism. In America, this includes, both the religious right, and the religious left. It is through doctrine and practice that the conservatives are being aided and led by Roman Catholics in their “God in government” campaign, which is a moral crusade for the soul of America, and Liberals are being led by Roman Catholics through humanitarianism, and mysticism. These are the out-workings of the social gospel, and most American Christians are being led astray by it. The social gospel has shaped America throughout its history the mid to late 1700’s.
The proofs of the effort for the new world order, the Universal church, and coexistence, can be affirmed by the following links:
The following two films “The March to Armageddon” & “The New Age“, by Christian J. Pinto, is a documentary of the history and agenda of the New Age Movement. It shows that the movement is more than just a new spirituality, but it is the religion of the “new world order”.
The “little horn” is a mystery in Bible prophecy that was foretold by the prophet Daniel. The term “little horn” means little king (Daniel 7:7-8 & Daniel 7:23-25).
The focus of this article series is the kingdom of the “little horn” and its religion.
The purpose of the article series is to show the unveiling of Bible prophecy throughout history.
The kingdom of the “little horn” is the last of the world empires, and is also the kingdom that Jesus Christ will judge, and destroy, when he returns to establish his own kingdom on earth. The foretelling of the rise and fall of world empires was given, by God, through the prophet Daniel, who lived during the reign of the Babylonian Empire, and in the beginning of the reign of the Medo-Persian Empire. Below is a timetable (from top to bottom) of the rise and fall of these empires. The statue is from Daniel chapter 2. It starts with Babylon and ends, at the feet, with the kingdom of iron and clay. The kingdom of iron and clay is the kingdom of the “little horn” (Daniel 7:23-25).
In Daniel 2:31-45, King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream, which only the prophet Daniel can interpret. Daniel gives the interpretation to the king. The dream is of the rise and fall of world empires until Christ’s second coming. The above chart shows both the dream and the fulfillment of the dream. World history shows the last kingdom to be the Holy Roman Empire.Rome of the Caesars is depicted as pure iron. The Holy Roman empire is depicted as both iron and clay.
Daniel also has a dream of the rise and fall of the same kingdoms in chapter 7. In this chapter, the “little horn” is described. The “little horn” is the capital of the last empire. The capital of the last empire is Rome. Rome and the “little horn” are described as one.
The “little horn” no longer reigns over the empire as it use to, but the kingdom itself remains. The “little horn’s” kingdom is Rome, and its religion remains as well. The following articles will describe the religion and history of the “little horn”. The articles will show that the “little horn” is a religion, which ruled over the kings of Europe, and that during its reign, has fulfilled much of Bible prophecy. The article series will show that the religion of the “little horn” is Roman Catholicism, and that the king of the religion is the office of the pope.
World View Weekend Radio – “The news is reporting that the Rockefellers of the United States and the Rothschilds of Europe are uniting to form a “strategic partnership.” Brannon uses this story to begin the conversation about how rich and powerful bankers, businessmen, and politicians recently gathered just outside Washington D.C. for the Bilderberger meeting. Are the globalists about to pick the man they are going to support for President in the U.S.? The choice is between globalist Romney and Neo-Marxist Obama. Does this current scenario reveal the long standing partnership and battle between the Fabian Socialists and the Communists? Are the Fabians concerned that Neo-Marxist Obama has awaken a sleeping giant? Is it time for the Neo-Marxist occupying the White House to move on and be replaced by a Communitarian/Fabian Socialist by the name of Romney? Brannon details interesting historical facts that reveal this long standing battle and the long standing battle between those who want their plan to remain secret and those like Carroll Quigley and George Bernard Shaw that wanted the plan to be openly discussed. ” ~ Brannon Howse
“But all the provisions that He has made for the gratification of our senses, they are much inferior to the provision, that wonderful provision that He has made for the gratification of our nobler powers of intelligence and reason. He has given us reason to find out truth and the real design and true end of our existence.”
Is this true?
Is the power of reason enough for sinful man to find out truth and the real design and true end of our existence?
Does Adam’s theory takes sin into consideration, as a possible hindrance to finding out man’s real design, and true end of existence?
Comparing Adam’s statement with Scripture reveals the following:
Sin has corrupted our ability to use our reason to acknowledge the true God.
Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Sin causes us not to want to use our reason to search for, and submit to, the truth about God.
Romans 1
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
For this reason, God has caused our reason to become even more wicked.
Romans 1
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents
This judgment from God has also made our ability to reason deficient.
Romans 1
31 Without understanding
This judgment from God also causes the mind of man to delight in the very things that it identifies as wicked.
Romans 1
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Reason cannot rescue mankind from this plight.
God, himself, then proves to be the greatest provision to man.
John 3
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Hebrews 8
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
The hope for the depraved mind is the gospel of Jesus Christ, alone.
2Corinthians 5
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God. ~ Benjamin Franklin
This is not the God of Scripture that he’s referring to.
Genesis 3
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Revelation 12
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
The social gospel preaches “fight for your earthly freedom”.
The gospel of Jesus Christ says “overcome by the blood of the lamb, Jesus Christ, and by the word of your testimony”.
God did not promise his church freedom in Satan’s kingdom, but persecution.
Our freedom is in Christ’s return.
To support the social gospel is to partner with the serpent.
To take up arms against the government is to partner with the serpent.
Those who do not take up their cross and deny themselves will lose the savor of a good testimony, for Jesus Christ, to this sinful world.
Those who partner with the serpent will be trodden under foot.
Matthew 5
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
1John 5
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
The acting career and preaching ministry of Kirk Cameron has been well received by Christians over the years. With movies such as “Left Behind”, and his television ministry, “Way of the Master”, Kirk has won the hearts of Christians throughout the country. His work has been a success in inspiring, and building up believers in their faith. However, Kirk’s latest film, “Monumental”, is taking a different, and confusing turn that is upsetting quite a few Christians. Yet, this change in Kirk agenda may reveal his own beliefs that have not been discussed over the last 13 years.
To better understand this change in theology and agenda that Kirk is currently displaying in the media, let’s first take a look at his theology, and how it has played out over the years. The photos below are links that further explains the comments written under them.
Here Kirk has affirmed the true gospel of faith in Christ, repentance, self-denial, and godliness.
Kirk has exposed the false gospel of Mormonism.
Through his leading role in the “Left Behind” films, Kirk has even affirmed the biblical belief that the world will be brought under God’s judgment, and that only Christ’s return to earth will bring about a world ruled by righteous judgment.
However, it seems that there has recently been a change in Kirk’s doctrine, that has also changed his agenda. The change is in his refusal to live according to the belief that the world is under God’s judgment for its sins, by promoting the idea that America can be saved from its moral decay. Therefore, he is trying to convince Christians that they can reclaim America for God, which is part of the belief system of the American social gospel. Kirk’s reason for this decision is so that his daughters will have a better future in America when they are adults. However, this idea contradicts what Jesus said about the fate of the world until he returns (Matthew 24). Kirk is now willing to partner with false believers such as Glenn Beck, who is a Mormon, and David Barton, who is a historical revisionist that tries to deceive people into thinking that America’s founding fathers were devout Christians.
Kirk is even willing to promote the false claims of David Barton, who has already been exposed as a liar, and a historical revisionist.
The result of Kirk’s recent changes in theology and agenda will be confusion for those who believe everything that he teaches. For example: Kirk has taught the true gospel of faith in Christ, repentance, self-denial, and godliness. Now he’s teaching the social gospel of national salvation through political and cultural reform that falls in line with the American dream; in particular, liberty, which leads to liberation theology that teaches that Christians are allowed to take up arms against their government.
Another example of the confusion that Kirk is causing is the belief that Christians must only affirm the Christ of the Bible, and the gospel message as is taught in the Bible. Kirk’s partnership with Glenn Beck, who is a Mormon goes against these two fundamental doctrines, since Beck does not believe in the same Jesus that is described in the Bible, instead he believes that Jesus is Satan’s brother. That is a false god, and the equivalent of an idol. Therefore, Beck is not a believer, but an idolater. Furthermore, Beck does not believe in the gospel of salvation as is described in the Bible. Instead, he believes in his ability to work for his salvation, and that faith alone cannot save him (Ephesians 2:8-9). The Bible forbids this kind of partnership.
1Corinthians 5 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an **idolater**, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
2Corinthians 6 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
To be led by Kirk is to be led into confusion, because there is now a gross inconsistency in his teaching and example. Also, his partnership with deceivers, such as David Barton, teaches God’s people that nothing is seriously wrong with working with teachers who bear bad fruit. However, this belief will come at the cost of leading people into not knowing who should be rejected because of their bad fruit, because if Kirk accepts certain false teachers, then why should any false teacher be rejected?
Glenn Beck – The Mormon 2John 1 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
David Barton – The Church’s Deceiver Matthew 7 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
The conclusion of the matter is this: Kirk has done plenty of good in the pass, and should be recognized for it, but now that he is partnering with the same people who Scripture has told the church to stay away from, Christians must now stay away from Kirk, who is now engaged in a monumental work of confusion.
Ecclesiastes 12 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. 1John 2 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
Part of the “war on consciousness” is the promotion of the social gospel by the media. This false gospel gives people a false hope, which claims that they can make a better neighborhood, city, country, or world. It teaches Christians that Jesus came to commission his church to reclaim the culture. It even teaches that America is a Christian nation, that was founded by Christians, when it was actually founded by Freemasons, who claimed to be Christians.
The goal of the media’s promotion of the social gospel is to cause Christians to believe that God wants them to claim their nation for God through political, social, economic, and cultural reform. In fact, this was the reason for the sculpture of the memorial to the founding fathers; to remind Americans of their “God given duty” to uphold the Christian principals which the nation was founded upon. However, did these “Christian principals” produce liberty and justice in the founding and expansion of America?
America was both founded and expanded through theft and murder. The theft was the land that belonged to the many native American tribes, and the murder was that of these same native Americans. This was not Christian love, nor was it the godly justice of a Christian nation. On the contrary, it was invasion and tyranny, followed by the mass enslavement of Africans, who were taken from their home land against their will, and stripped of their nationality, culture, and language; all for the sake of serving in their tyrannical masters to the day of their death. Therefore, to label America’s origins as Christian, is to put a false label on the country.
The social gospel has both founded and inspired our nation’s actions throughout its short history. It was through the ideals of the social gospel that the colonists agreed to revolt against Britain, and found their own nation. It was through the ideals of the social gospel that the South held onto the lost cause of the confederate army and terrorized freed blacks. It was through the social gospel that the American army, and the pioneers of the West, slaughtered the Native American tribes; calling it “progress” for the nation, and “manifest destiny”. It was through the social gospel that the industrialists justified their stranglehold on the nation’s economy, while their employees were paid a barely livable wage. It was through the ideals of the social gospel that the progressive era brought about social reform in the country. It was through the ideals of the social gospel that the civil rights movement united the country against racial injustice. It was through the ideals of the social gospel that Christian liberals have promoted a user-friendly, humanitarian, hippie-Jesus for the purpose of reclaiming and reforming culture, and for selling Christianity as if it were more of a product to purchase, and an ideal to buy into, than it is the good news from Heaven to reconcile sinners to God, and to save them from the wrath of God.
The social gospel is a false Gospel that teaches the false hope of making a better world. This better world is one of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The social gospel teaches that mankind can have a reign of peace and freedom from tyranny before Christ returns to set up his kingdom of Heaven. It will even teach that this present reign of wickedness is, in fact, the reign of Christ on earth, and it is for Christians to fully manifest this truth through social, political, economic, and cultural reform. In short, the social gospel promotes an earth-based & works-based salvation.
The “God in Government Movement”, for example, is a campaign for cultural and political reform for the sake of “saving the country”. Although the rhetoric of this movement sounds convincing to many, there is no Scriptural basis for this cause, and their hope for political and cultural reformation for the glory of God, contains doctrine that goes directly against the Bible’s teachings on humanity and sin (Romans 8:4-8 & John 8:34). God does not call a nation to be his holy people, instead, he calls the peoples of this world to come out from the world, and into his church, and it is his church that is the holy nation and royal priesthood (1Peter 2:9-11). Yet, the media is telling Christians that it is the government and the culture that Christians are called, by God, to sanctify.
For example: the “Monumental” documentary strengthens this false hope for political and cultural reform by claiming that the monument to the founding fathers is a Christian sculpture that was made to remind the nation of it’s Christian roots. The film does this by merging the ideals of the Puritans with the rebellion of the founding fathers, which is misleading, since the Puritans didn’t endorse rebellion against Britain. The imagery of the sculpture is also a merging of Puritan Christian beliefs with the ideals of Freemasonry. This came be seen by the goddess figure, who is supposed to represent faith, since her hand is pointing to the sky, while the other is holding a Bible. This figure is not a representation of true biblical faith, but a goddess of Freemasonry, since it has the five pointed star of Venus-Luciferus, which is an occult symbol for Satan. The statue also has a god-like figure that symbolizes victory over tyrants, and implies that this victory over tyrants brings peace, but according to Scripture, Christians do not have the right to take up arms against their government (Romans 13:1-3). In fact, Scripture teaches that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and that Satan was the original rebel (1Samuel 15:23 & Isaiah 14:12-19).
Another example of this deception in the media would be the “The Abortion Matrix” documentary, which tells people that there is hope for restoring the cultural decay of the nation; starting with the effort of abolishing abortion. The documentary makes a convincing case through its historical account of paganism, and God’s judgment on the nations of the world that practiced it. However, its social gospel of cultural and political reform simply isn’t realistic since the Christians are vastly out numbered by the world, which is under the control of the spirit of antichrist.
The social gospel is also promoted by the media through the “Truth Movement”, which is a movement that both studies and exposes the conspiracies within the governments of western civilization. The Christian side of the movement tends to affirm the social gospel agenda by telling Christians that it is their responsibility to resist the changes in their governments, as if they were able to. This message is actually contradictory to their claims that these government conspiracies are the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, since Bible prophecy cannot be altered by the will of man; the end will come regardless of human interference. This false hope can be clearly heard in the “Fuel Project; Know Your Enemy“.
Christian liberals, such as Tim Keller and Andy Crouch, also promote the social gospel within their lectures, blogs, and books. They clearly teach that the work of the gospel is making a better world, and go as far as to take Scripture out of context for the sake of promoting their false hope of cultural reform. Their teaching has cause those who did not understand the Christian faith to have a wrong understanding of Jesus and the gospel. These liberal teachers are not teaching the importance of turning from sin, escaping the corruption of this sinful world, believing the gospel and striving to enter the narrow gate that leads to eternal life. Instead, they teach of a hippie-Jesus, which is a false Christ, and the good news of making a better world.
The name of this liberal movement is “Incarnational Ministry”. It confuses the doctrine of Christ’ atonement, and his teachings on why he came into the world. Instead of teaching that Christ came to earth to save sinners from their sins and from the wrath of God (John 3:16 & John 6:26-29), they neglect this doctrine by teaching that Christ wants Christians to follow his example of doing good for others, such as feeding the poor, and healing the sick. However, the example that Jesus taught very clearly to his disciples was that of proclaiming the gospel, making disciples, and taking up their cross of holy living and persecution to the death (Matthew 16:24-27 & Matthew 28:19-20).
The “war on consciousness’s” monumental promotion of the social gospel has made the media to be as poison to Christians by its presentation of false hopes. The result of this war will be that of a church that does not understand the gospel, and is led by the nose by the media personality of their choosing, who appeal to Christians’ earthly desires. God’s people are to flee from this confusion and not follow the “herd” to disaster. To listen to the media personalities will only lead to heresy, but abiding in Christ will equip God’s people to stand against falsehood, discern truth from error, and to live holy lives.
Psalm 119 9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. Hebrews 5 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
