Using the world to enforce His precepts.....
Rev. 12:3"And there appeared another sign in heaven, and Lo! a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads, seven diadems; AND HIS TAIL DRAWS A THIRD PART OF THE STARS OF HEAVEN, AND DID CAST THEM TO THE EARTH".
Lk. 6:26 " Woe unto you whensoever all men shall speak well of you, for according to the same things were their fathers doing unto the false prophets".
Pro. 16:18 " Before grevious injury, pride! And before a fall, haughtiness of spirit".
As the ancient pagan demon worshippers of antiquity worshipped the stars and heavenly bodies and ensnared the children of Israel into doing it also, so present day professing christians have been ensnared in doing likewise.
God is using the world to enforce His precepts when those who profess Him will not obey Him willingly. The world is the adversary; the adversary is the dragon; the dragon's color, red, means ANGER; the stars of heaven are "christian celebrities"; ie, men who are "looked up to", are well spoken of, and/or revered because of their "great ministry", personality, wonderful "edifying" teaching, and on and on.
Present day professing christians have their "stars", whom they have exalted and placed on pedestals; various "pastors", "teachers", "ministers", apostles", and etc. By doing this, they are, by thought and word, placing such men on a level where God has not placed them, and by doing so, placing these men in great danger.
Most of these professing ones have grown up in this celebrity driven, God hating pagan culture, and having been infected with it in their life "before Christ", carry it over into their "christian life", in the same manner of the Corinthians, seeing no harm in doing so. Living by senses, they can't see or hear or perceive Christ except through some man whom they can "touch with their senses"- read his books, listen to his tapes/cd's, attend his meetings, etc. Of course books and tapes must be purchased with money at the violation of scripture which says, "freely you have received, freely give", but they can't give it away, for then their "ministry" which is founded on mammon will collapse.
Because the lives of the professing ones do not match their confession, God uses the world against them to enforce His precepts which they are not obeying. They have made celebrities-"stars"- of those who are supposed to be servants, so God is in the process of "cutting them down to size"- "bringing them down to earth" where they belong.
Num.32:23 " But if you shall not do this, Lo! You will have sinned against Yahweh; and TAKE NOTE OF YOUR SIN, THAT IT WILL FIND YOU OUT".
Being looked up to by others-man worship-is the sin "which finds them out". This sin carries with it the thought that "God doesn't see". This is self delusion-deception-a type of blindness, an inherent aspect of pride.
Lk. 12:2-3 "But nothing has been covered up which shall not be uncovered, and hidden, which shall not be made known. Because as many things in the darkness you have said, in the light shall be heard; and what to the ear you spoke in the chambers, shall be proclaimed on the housetops".
These men think they can get away with their adulteries, fornications, sodomite practices and money grubbing, ostentatious Hollywood lifestyles. SIN AUTOMATICALLY BRINGS WITH IT IT'S CONSEQUENCES. God is raising up unbelieving accusers who will make known - "shout from the housetops"- the hypocritical behavior of these exalted pretenders.
It is the adversary (the red dragon) that has "moved up" these men and it is he whom God uses to bring them back to earth. The adversary says, "Take heed, I moved you up, so I can take you down".

Response/Ladder of Deception Part 2
These things I am describing are not occurring "one after another", but rather are the "downward process" which ultimately leads to the condition of being-a mental attitude-which is the fulfillment of:
2Thess.2:11-12" And for this cause, God sends them an inworking of error, a strong delusion, to the end they should believe in the falsehood-a lie, In order that all should be judged who would not believe in the truth, but were well pleased with the unrighteousness"
This occurs individually and corporately in a vast number of professing christians. Before they reach this total condition of deception-of believing in the lie-there are a few more "symptoms" manifested before they "get there". The next one is a false unity.
This is a setting aside of truth for the sake of a physical unity. Presently there is much "hue and cry" about all the divisions among christians (so-called), and how bad that is. This eventually will lead to a gathering together and a setting aside of, what were formerly, distinctive doctrines held by different groups. But before that happens, something else must occur, and even now is occurring.
There is presently a large mass of professing ones who have departed, and are departing, from denominationalism and are not affiliating themselves with any group. Many of these are of a higher educated, intellectual bent (with various degrees), and tend to be in a higher income bracket financially. Some have joined themselves to the "megas". They call themselves "evangelical" and/or "emergent". They are of the later "baby boomer" generation, born after 1950. They are technologically fluent and can and do "speak the language" of the present day, lets-not-be-offensive-but-be-"missional"-and-engage-the-culture-in-dialog-world view. They have grown up in the present emotion based "I feel your pain" culture and since confessing Christ as saviour, have slapped "christian" over that world view which they still hold, not knowing it is idolatry, which in this case is viewing God according to one's world view, rather then Who He actually IS. Hence, they are more "female" (both men and women) then their forebears, who had a more correct view of God's character.
This group then, is highly susceptible to be taken away in the deception I have been speaking of and are particularly referenced by the scripture in the previous post in Part 1 as "silly women".
The next "step downward" on the ladder of deception is the fulfillment of Ps. 1:3, which quotes a group of people who say:
"Let us break asunder their bonds and cast from us their cords".
This is not verbally spoken, but is an attitude of mind. The "bonds" and "cords" are the "restrainer" or "he that restrains" of :
2Thess.2:6-7 "And what now restrains you know, to the end he (the adversary) may be revealed in his own fitting time; for the secret of lawlessness already is inwardly working itself, ONLY UNTIL HE THAT RESTRAINS AT PRESENT SHALL BE GONE OUT OF THE MIDST".
This does not occur like a "one day he's here and the next day he isn't".
It is a process of conditioning by acceptance, wherein an individual (one of a corporate many for example's sake), over a span of time, gradually accepts as false what he formerly believed was true, or now considers what he formerly believed is no longer of great importance and can therefore be "ignored". This is just one symptom of it. Another thought is "what one does is more important then what one believes". "It's not necessary for me to believe in the miracles of Jesus and His physical resurrection in order to be a christian and do good works". This is of course a thought from the pit, because it actually means "Jesus is not the Son of God". It's very subtle. This is of course one of the subtle lies behind the false unity mentioned earlier.
Should those who know the truth of this many tentacled deception attempt to "button hole" and warn those involved in it? No. They should:
"Preach the truth-proclaim the Word, take their position or stand-in season (when they want to hear it) and out of season (when they don't want to hear it); convince, rebuke, encourage, with all long suffering and teaching". 2Tim.4:2
This ladder of deception is a part of God's purposes in the summing up of all things, for the indignation must be exhausted.
Dan.11:36 "And the king will do according to his own pleasure and will exalt himself and magnify himself against every god, yes, against the God of gods will he speak awsome things, and will succeed UNTIL EXHAUSTED IS THE INDIGNATION, FOR WHAT IS DECREED MUST-BE-DONE....."
2Thess.2:11-12" And for this cause, God sends them an inworking of error, a strong delusion, to the end they should believe in the falsehood-a lie, In order that all should be judged who would not believe in the truth, but were well pleased with the unrighteousness"

Response To Initiation Part 1
The ladder of deception......
The ultimate expression/embodiment in the earth of Response to Initiation is the Bride/Body of Christ/Assembly of God. She has no character of her own, but is merely to be a reflector/responder of the Master's character in the earth. Before she can be a true reflector/responder there is another thing which must occur in God's program which affects her, which I call the "Ladder of Deception".
At present she is reflecting/responding the things of earth, because she is still earthly minded. She is conforming to this world. She has dirtied herself by mixing with and believing in and reflecting the character of this world. She is not listening to what HE sends her.
What He sends her is His Voice-His Word-as life circumstances, in the form of adversity, which she cannot/will not "read". She doesn't make the connection that all of life is spiritual and therefore, whatever happens to her in this life IS A LESSON TO BE LEARNED and an OPPORTUNITY TO OVERCOME.
Jesus does not "participate" in the life of someone ("sup with them"-Rev.3:20;and "know" them: Math.7:23;25:12; Lk.6:46;13:25,27) unless THEY LISTEN TO HIS VOICE AND DO WHAT HE SAYS, and because in this condition she is "less than a baby", she is not going to hear the True voice of the spirit within her, as she is ignoring the outward Word in her life circumstances. (By "less than a baby" I mean her condition is like the earliest stages of pregnancy when the future baby is still "without form and void", as Gen 1:1 described the earth). As long as she remains in this condition, Jesus does not "know" her; she can say Lord!Lord! all she wants.
1Kings18:21"And Elijah drew near unto all the people and said-How long are you limping as though on unequal legs, between two divided opinions? If Yahweh be God follow Him, but if Baal, follow him. But the people answered him not a word."
How long is this woman going to continue in doublemindedness/double vision/two natures philosophy? How long is she going to live in schizophrenia?......Until the indignation is exhausted.......
She professes Jesus and says she has faith in Him, but still lives and is led by her senses. She insists on grasping tight to her bosom the ancient heathen, paganistic, demon worshipping practices from antiquity: "christmas", "easter", "halloween", "patron saints", "beads", "icons", "relics", etc. She thinks by slapping the title "christian" on it, that makes it ok. She has no conception of "whatsoever is not of faith is sin" , Rom. 14:23.
Her conversations are full of surmisings and speculations which lead to questionings, and when continued in, lead to questionings of the written Word-"has God said?", and we know where that comes from. Here is where high minded educationalism enters the fray and begins to explain away and lead many followers astray into full blown deception.
2Tim3:6-7"For these are they who enter into the houses and captivate silly women, women laden with sins, led on by manifold covetings, ever learning and never unto a personal knowledge of truth able to come."
This passage is not just referring to the "female of the species", but ALL those-male and female-who are led by senses as described by Eve in Gen.3. The word "captivate" means easily deceived. They readily listen to that which appeals to the emotions; "How can a loving God do such and such?" "That scripture must not mean that; it must mean something else.", etc.
Now they have come to the place where they will only listen to those who "tickle their ears"; who teach "around" truth so as to pamper flesh. The "non offending gospel". "Must not hurt someone's emotions by offending them", for that would be committing the great sin of present day culture.
To be continued....

The Totalitarian Mind Part 2
Rom.9:18-22 "Hence then, on whom He pleases He has mercy and whom He pleases, He does harden. You will say to me then, why longer finds He fault? For His purpose, who has withstood? Oh man! Who nevertheless are you that are answering again to God? Shall the thing formed say unto Him that formed it, why did you make me thus? Or has not the potter a right over the clay, out of the same lump to make some indeed into a vessel for honor and SOME FOR DISHONOR? And if God, wishing to show His anger and to make His power known, bare in much patience WITH VESSELS OF ANGER ALREADY FITTED FOR DESTRUCTION......"
Is.54:16 "Lo! I have created the smith (the adversary) who blows up a fire of coals and who brings forth an instrument for his work. And I HAVE CREATED THE WASTER TO DESTROY....."
Is. 45:6-7 "There is none besides Me; I am Yahweh and there is none else: Forming light and creating darkness; Making peace and CREATING EVIL...."
Ps. 24:1 "To Yahweh belongs the earth and the fulness thereof; the world and they who dwell therein".
Had there been no creation, there would have been no evil......neither would there have been any good, therefore, since God determined "beforehand" to "create" because of love or "Willing Goodness", He knew that the possibility of evil would have to come into existence in order to be a necessary "tool" in bringing to pass His ultimate purpose of an ALL ENCOMPASSING GOODNESS, that human words cannot describe, at the ultimate summing up of all things, when opposition will be "chained up" and no longer necessary.
Whether unbelieving atheistic man likes it or not, God IS THE OWNER OF ALL THAT IS, INCLUDING UNBELIEVING, GOD HATING, ATHEISTIC MAN. They don't realize it, but they ARE VESSELS OF ANGER FITTED FOR DESTRUCTION. THEY ARE VESSELS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR DESTRUCTION-destroying others and themselves. The end result of their written and spoken words, has been the death and destruction of millions of people, including babies in wombs, within the last 200+ years. However, humanistic, emotion based reasoning man's view of death and destruction is not God's view.
Humanistic, emotion controlled man, including professing christians who are infected with the same emotion based world view, do not like the God of the old testament- the kill-all-the-men-women-and-children-and-burn-their-cities-God. They say,"how can a loving God do such things?" To them, love is an emotion. Such an emotional view of God is IDOLATRY. They make an inner image of what they emotionally "feel" that God should be like. Death and destruction is a part of God's plan whether we like it or not.
The killing and warfare and destruction that God directed the children of Israel to carry out was actually the consequences for the ungodly conduct and lives of those they conquered. Whole families of Caananites were infected with the sin for which they paid for with their lives as God led Israel against them-yes, even women and children; the women were killed, but not violated. Later, when Israel fell away and began to mix with the pagans and worship demons, then God raised up other conquerors-Assyrian, Persian, Mede, Rome, etc, to come against them and do the same way to them, and they had no compunction about violating women. The latter were "vessels of anger", fitted-made/raised up for the purpose of destruction. Eventually they themselves were destroyed by other successive "vessels of anger". Each vessel is a "rod of iron".
Rev. 2:3 "and he that overcomes and keeps throughout My works, I will give him authority over the nations, and he shall shepherd them WITH A ROD OF IRON-as vessels of earthenware are dashed in pieces......"
One "rod" is a "correcter" or judgment/punisher of another group. The rod or vessel of anger usually does not know that they are an instrument/tool in the hand of God.
The totalitarian mind has been in existence since Cain. It became more "refined and codified/systemitized" through Marx. The totalitarian mind is the beast with seven heads of Revelation. The heads are "faces" that it presents to or in the world. We are presently "in the seventh head" day; the beast's final form. The face is still anger, but the anger is now hidden behind the "smiley face". This makes it even more evil then when it was undisguised brute force, such as it's manifestation through Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, because most are ensnared by it's "do gooder" face. They are ensnared physically and mentally, which is a showing forth of the mark upon the hand and forehead.
God has chosen the totalitarian mind to be the means of purifying and purging of His Assembly. Rev. 7:14; 15:2
Is.54:16 "Lo! I have created the smith (the adversary) who blows up a fire of coals and who brings forth an instrument for his work. And I HAVE CREATED THE WASTER TO DESTROY....."
Is. 45:6-7 "There is none besides Me; I am Yahweh and there is none else: Forming light and creating darkness; Making peace and CREATING EVIL...."

The Totalitarian Mind Part 1
When God "exploded" and became/created two aspects or representations of Himself, called in Gen.1:1, "heavens and earth", He also made myriads of spirit beings representative of the same aspects. I have written in previous posts in more detail what "heavens and earth" are, so will just repeat here the basic facts which are: heaven is Initiation and earth is Response (to initiation). Prior to the "explosion" they operated in harmony, but after the explosion, response became resistance or "opposer to initiation".
This does not mean that two separate powers came into existence, for there is only ONE power in the universe, however, when response became resistance/opposer, the manifestation of the power through it became reversed or it's "polarity" was reversed, giving off an "impression" that "it" was a separate "self generated" power. It was necessary for this to come into being in order for the formation of the universe and all that is in it.
Of course the spirit beings representing this "opposition" have the same character/nature-an opposing nature. The spirit being which has temporary charge of this realm is described in scripture by several terms which it is not necessary for me to list here. This beings' "lifelong responsibility" is to act according to his opposing nature in the bringing to pass of God's purposes in the earth. He uses God's power in it's reversed/resistant/opposite form to do this work. His special concern is the "goings on" on the earth. (Job 1:7)
Luke 4:5-6" And the adversary showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in a moment of time. And the adversary said unto Him, unto you will I give this authority, all together, and their glory, because unto me it has been delivered up, and to whomsoever I please I give it."
This spirit being has been "sharing his power" with certain individuals throughout history. This power operating in these individuals operates according to the nature/character of this being, which is anger-a hatred of God expressed as hatred for mankind. The power is manifested in these particular human beings as high intelligence or intellectual ability and the ability to manipulate and control others to further their own ends.
Throughout history the manifestation of this anger was centered in , as I said, certain individuals. These were the great "conquerors", warriors, and dictators who , along with their coterie, oppressed, conquered, enslaved, murdered/killed (your choice of words), starved, forced, and manipulated millions upon millions of humans down through history on up to the present day.
The early conquerors used mainly brute force-submit or be destroyed was the watchword. This "operating principle" began to change in the latter part of the 1700's and has almost undergone a complete "transformation" in the present day, wherein the anger has taken on a "smiley/be nice/I know what is good for you"face. Whereas previously the "face of anger" was dominant, forceful male, has become in the present day, domineering, manipulating, female-a Jezebel. Herein also is another aspect of the "face's appearance". It is no longer centered in one dictator/conqueror with a small group of followers, but has now become many individuals who have ingested/become infected with an "idea". This "idea" came into being via the "German highway".
What I call the "German highway" is a center of intellectualism located in the minds of certain German speaking individuals, not necessarily within the present day borders of what is called Germany. It's a "highway" because it is "highmindedness"; ie, people with high intelligence who have spent their lifetimes studying and inquiring into "high things". The individuals infected with this highmindedness spread the disease through the previously founded systems of "higher learning" called universities. From there it spread throughout Europe, then to England and the United States.
The writings of these certain individual "forerunners" were passed down to others who in turn used some of the philosophy of said forerunners in writing their own treatises, expanding on such and making them their own. Such is the case of Karl Marx.
All forms of totalitarianism from the time of Marx up to taday were brought into manifestation through the mind and pen of Karl Marx. Totalitarianism is the doctrine of anger-God hatred shown forth as man hatred. The angry "male" spent himself at the end of WWII, but his effects have lingered on and dimned through the death of Stalin and his few followers such as Kruschev, Breszhnev, and Mao, on down to Putin of today.
In other European countries and England the totalitarian mind has taken on a "softer" face; the female of welfare statism. Brute force has been transformed into "smiley faced" manipulation and conditioning, under the control of faceless bureaucrats and regulators, taking from one citizen and giving to another, threby fostering class strife, one of Marx"s founding principles.
In this country Marxism is the domineering, dike female, known as feminism, who rules with the rod of "political correctness", by shaming into silence those who refuse to dwell under her skirts. It may have a nanny/smiley face and preach "be nice", but behind it is the bared teeth of the beast-the adversary pulling the strings...........But he is just a tool in the hands of God.
This does not mean that two separate powers came into existence, for there is only ONE power in the universe, however, when response became resistance/opposer, the manifestation of the power through it became reversed or it's "polarity" was reversed, giving off an "impression" that "it" was a separate "self generated" power. It was necessary for this to come into being in order for the formation of the universe and all that is in it.
Of course the spirit beings representing this "opposition" have the same character/nature-an opposing nature. The spirit being which has temporary charge of this realm is described in scripture by several terms which it is not necessary for me to list here. This beings' "lifelong responsibility" is to act according to his opposing nature in the bringing to pass of God's purposes in the earth. He uses God's power in it's reversed/resistant/opposite form to do this work. His special concern is the "goings on" on the earth. (Job 1:7)
Luke 4:5-6" And the adversary showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in a moment of time. And the adversary said unto Him, unto you will I give this authority, all together, and their glory, because unto me it has been delivered up, and to whomsoever I please I give it."
This spirit being has been "sharing his power" with certain individuals throughout history. This power operating in these individuals operates according to the nature/character of this being, which is anger-a hatred of God expressed as hatred for mankind. The power is manifested in these particular human beings as high intelligence or intellectual ability and the ability to manipulate and control others to further their own ends.
Throughout history the manifestation of this anger was centered in , as I said, certain individuals. These were the great "conquerors", warriors, and dictators who , along with their coterie, oppressed, conquered, enslaved, murdered/killed (your choice of words), starved, forced, and manipulated millions upon millions of humans down through history on up to the present day.
The early conquerors used mainly brute force-submit or be destroyed was the watchword. This "operating principle" began to change in the latter part of the 1700's and has almost undergone a complete "transformation" in the present day, wherein the anger has taken on a "smiley/be nice/I know what is good for you"face. Whereas previously the "face of anger" was dominant, forceful male, has become in the present day, domineering, manipulating, female-a Jezebel. Herein also is another aspect of the "face's appearance". It is no longer centered in one dictator/conqueror with a small group of followers, but has now become many individuals who have ingested/become infected with an "idea". This "idea" came into being via the "German highway".
What I call the "German highway" is a center of intellectualism located in the minds of certain German speaking individuals, not necessarily within the present day borders of what is called Germany. It's a "highway" because it is "highmindedness"; ie, people with high intelligence who have spent their lifetimes studying and inquiring into "high things". The individuals infected with this highmindedness spread the disease through the previously founded systems of "higher learning" called universities. From there it spread throughout Europe, then to England and the United States.
The writings of these certain individual "forerunners" were passed down to others who in turn used some of the philosophy of said forerunners in writing their own treatises, expanding on such and making them their own. Such is the case of Karl Marx.
All forms of totalitarianism from the time of Marx up to taday were brought into manifestation through the mind and pen of Karl Marx. Totalitarianism is the doctrine of anger-God hatred shown forth as man hatred. The angry "male" spent himself at the end of WWII, but his effects have lingered on and dimned through the death of Stalin and his few followers such as Kruschev, Breszhnev, and Mao, on down to Putin of today.

All Through the Red Sea
A 1900's mental state to form an opinion for no cause for alarm......
1Cor. 10:1-11 " For I wish not you should be ignorant brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all immersed themselves unto Moses, in the cloud and in the sea, and all did eat the same spiritual food and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they continued to drink of the spiritual rock which followed them, and the rock was the Christ. Nevertheless with most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn along in the desert. But in these things they became examples for us, to the end we should not be COVETOUS of evil things, even as they also coveted; neither become you IDOLATERS as some of them-as it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to make merriment; neither let us commit FORNICATION as some of them committed fornication and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand; neither let us be PUTTING THE LORD TO THE TEST as some of them put Him to the test and by the serpents were perishing; neither be you MURMURING even as some of them murmured and perished by the destroyer. But these things by way of type were happening unto them, and were written with a view to our admonition unto whom the end of the ages have reached along."
All those who crossed the Red Sea by Moses did not enter the promise land. The entire generation was wiped out in the wilderness wanderings except for Joshua and Caleb. The children under age 20 entered, but not their parents, for they were consumed by the consequences of the five sins described in the passage above, and their bodies were scattered in the desert.
The same thing is occurring today because the same five sins are being committed by many professing ones, but have been disguised as "freedom in Christ", or "Christian liberty". They assume a spiritual maturity for themselves which they have not paid the price to obtain. This is "going up by another way"; the desire to live a spiritual life according to self effort-how one wants and when one wants-not according to the Spirit.
John 10:1 " Verily, verily I say unto you, he that enters not through the door into the fold of the sheep, but goes up from another place, that man is a thief and a robber." (See also Numbers 14:26-44, especially v. 39-44)
This is the presumption of being Christlike, without Christ; the idea of the perfectibility of human nature. The ground of this thought says "no God", and that if we want the "world to be a better place", we have to "take action and do it ourselves". This is marxism, humanism, liberalism, and rationalism. It says,"whoever's opinion has the most votes has the truth"; truth by consensus.
This idea/thought/mental state became prominent during the 1900's. "because there is no God, there is therefore no such thing as consequences for behavior, and by extension, no correction or judgment in a so - called afterlife." "Religion is a man made superstition steming from antiquity, and modern enlightened man doesn't need it, for science and technology are bringing in man's perfectibility."
The is the mass "forming of an opinion that there is no cause for alarm". It is the drive for "peace and safety" (see 1 Thess 5:1-3), by the use of force/coersion and the preaching of fear, where mass opinion becomes legislated/made into law, thereby becoming "truth". This is the reason of "polls", where a sampling of a few opinions are taken and extrapolated and planted in the mouthpiece media to further shape opinion and produce fear in those whose opinions don't line up.
This mental state also preaches the "equality of religions", where "all roads lead to God". "Christianity is just one among many, whose founder, Jesus, was a good man who shows the perfectibility of man."
We know who the spirit originator of this barrel of worms (snakes) is, but many don't know of the men he uses as instruments. They are many and they all resided (and do presently reside) in the "ivory towers of academia". They are the priests who speak for the god of this world from on high- the high minded intellectual ones with "long noses" (the better to look down at you peons with, my dear), who presume to know better than anyone else and have planted themselves in places where they might have the greastest influence over the "peons"; in government, media, education, "think tanks", foundations, (think Ford and Carnegie), science and research, corporations, and etc. Anywhere there is an opportunity for power and influence. They write books and articles and their media friends see they have continuous access to the camera and print, for after all, they are the "experts" aren't they? Their articles are planted and designed to produce a certain reaction from the true followers of Christ.
Of course they are also in all Bible schools, colleges and semitaries. This is where they do their subtle watering down of truth work, thereby initiating doubt in their dupes sitting the classes. "Has God said?"
Some of the major players of the past are Marx and Engles, Horace Mann (the pusher of the Prussian school system which has become this country's government schools), the Huxleys, Bertrand Russel, John Dewey (not the Dewey that ran against Truman), and Darwin of course, who was probably ignorant of the "egg" he laid. There are many thousands of others of course who are the "children" of these, who are carrying on their fathers program in the present day.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are many professing christians who have been infected with this idea of spirituality without Christ, but aren't aware of it. They think they can do something to gain deeper spirituality or insight/experience. The methods go by different names: "centering prayer", "centering down", "contemplation", "yoga". They read the lives and experiences of the "mystics" and try to put into practice what they read therein. All this is the "attempt to go up by another way", which is the lie of the adversary. They read the life of Jesus and because they profess Him, think they can live as He lived, by being a "wine bibber and fellowshipping with tax collectors and sinners". So "it's ok to hang out in bars and clubs, because how else are we going to win the lost, if we don't go where they are?" But they are not yet Christ in flesh and are still in the womb and haven't gone through the birth canal. If they "win" anyone, the one they "win" will become "twofold more a child of hell" then they are themselves. (Math. 23:15). This is fornication, one of the five sins mentioned in the scripture above. It is mixing with the world. They are "becoming like the world in order to win the world", using Paul's statement of "becoming a Jew in order to win the Jews", etc. They are blind to the fact that the world is still in themselves. They cannot "do" or "be" as Jesus and Paul until they experience the first death and resurrection. When they do, then and only then, can the Spirit say to them, "I have someone at Joe's bar and grill who needs to hear what you have to say".
These babies do not have "christian liberty". They have crossed the Red Sea and been delivered from Egypt (the world), but like the children of Israel, they still have Egypt within them, and as long as they remain in that state they will die in "their wilderness" as the former did.
1Cor. 10:1-11 " For I wish not you should be ignorant brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all immersed themselves unto Moses, in the cloud and in the sea, and all did eat the same spiritual food and all drank the same spiritual drink.
