A Fake Jesus From the Paranormal Aficionados

Another guest on George Noory's Coast-to-Coast late night radio show, tells of having had a near-death experience in which he went to a place engulfed in a beautiful golden light and suffused with a feeling of love and peace and so on. As so often happens when people have such experiences he took it as a revelation of what happens to people after death, lost his fear of death and spent the rest of his life pursuing things related to the "other side.
O dodm t jear a;; tje sjpw bit a[[aremt;u je beca,e a sprt pf guru of the paranormal with a sort fo Buddhist flavor, has had many encounters with entities or spiritual beings, some of whom he takes as teachers. He described a hierarchy of such beings with "masters" at the top. He mentioned a Yeshua ben Joseph, or Jesus son of Joseph, obviously an impersonaation of Jesus Christ and of coruse he accepts the impersonation as the truth and dismisses the biblical revelation. "son of Joseph" means of course that this Jesus was not the Son of God as we are told in scripture Hed is. He is. He also mentioned a "Mary" and a "mary Magdalene," whom he described as very powerful. Insinuation she's more powerful than the Jesus entity.

Their personal experience will loo9m larger in their minds than claims for the Bible as the source of all truth.
God gave us the Bible to protect us from the delusions of our own fallen minds and th4e "helpful" ministrations of the deminoic entitles whose objective is always to mislead us in the direction of Hell. Satan did just that to Eve and that was the beginning of what we call the Fall, the Original Sin that changed the created wolrd that had been perfet and in which all life was immortal, so that disease and death reign over us, and the demon hordes who followed SWatan are the "gods" of all the cultures in the world. You learn this from the Bible and nowhere else, but of course if you are listening to the demons themselves you'll get a very different story. And it's a story that plays to our human pride so that it's hard to give up. Those near-death experiences tell us we don't need to be saved from anyuthing, we're good enough as we are so we can expect to go to such a blissful paradise when we die. None of this bloody sacrifice of God Himself who came in human flesh to die in our place, none of this business about how we are all sinners at odds with THE God who made us, fit only for an eternity of Hell. Naa, that's all just scare tactics mae up by a priestly class or some such, to control us or something like that. TAhe story varies but it's always a stroy that discredits the Bible. they don't bother discrediting other religions because they can't save us, only Christ's death on the cross can save us. So they spend a lot of time denigrating the Bible. that's a clue you might want to notice. Mohammed is no threat to them, Hinduism is no threat to them, Catholicism is no threat to them, buit Biblical Christianity IS a threat to them.

But on go these "investigations" into the paranormal, wanting to find out whatit's really all about, while all the time we have the answer in the World of God He gave us. tHERE MAY BE DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF SPECIES OF FALLEN ANGELS, BUT THERE'S NO REASON TO THINK ANY OF THESE EDNTITIES THAT SO CAPTIATE THE OCCULTISTS AND PARANORMALISTS WER EANTYH8ING BUT SUCH FEMONIC BEINGS OR FALLEN ANGELS. oR COURSE i GET THIS FROM THE bIBLE. tHOSE ARE THE ONLY OPTIONS SUGESTED THERE. oH AND THE nEPHILIM, i DON'T KNO HOW TO FIT THEM IN BUT THEY HAVE TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AS WELL, THOSE HYBRID HUMAN-ANGELS, REALLY HUMAN-DEMONS DESCRIBED IN GENESIS 6. THERE MAY ALSO BE DEMON-ANIMAL HYBRIDS. THE "EXPERIEMTNS" SOM ufo ABUCTEES TALKS ABOUT COULD DESCRIBE A GENETIC OPERATION TO RECREATE SOME OF THOSE THINGS OR COME UP WITH SOME NEW ONES. i DON'T KNOW BUT i DO KNOW THERE IS NO REASON TO THINK any OF THESE ENTITIES FROM THE "OTHER SIDE" ARE ANYHTHING BUYT FALLEN SPIRITUAL BEINGS WE LEARN ABOUT FROM THE bIBLE.

oNLY THE TRUE jESUS CAN SAVE US. All the dabbling into occultie and paranormal things these poor misled people are doing is only going to destroy them. ,brt>
Sorry about the capitalizing. I don't know how I do that but it's a mistake.

Remembering the Bomb Years Part 2 Video of veterans used as guinea pigs

Just heraing bits and pieces of what happened during the bomb test years, to people and even animals who were downwind from the explosions, and there wree hundreds of them detonated above ground before they realized it might be safter to do it underground, mak4es me wonder what ort of government we have after all. It's one thing to know about our wonderful Consti5tution and so on, but that has no power to stop fallen human nature from doing some pretty dastardly things.

I mentioned before that I grew up in Nevada in those years, was taken with my fourth grade class out to the edge of town where we could watch one of the bomb tests, and I spent a lot of my childhood worried about being surrounded by radioactive particles in the air and that sort of thing. It seemed after all that we all survived it just fine, but in recent years I've been reviwing some rther severe sicknesses I went thought and one of my b5rothers too and thinking maybe we should have atgtribted them to the bomg tests. We didn't, we assumed they were just normal sigknesses. I don't think so any more.


Anyway, here's a video of some veterans who were used as guinea pigs during a test shot, placed in a trench about a mile from Ground Zero. ythey were forgidden to spoeak about their exper4iences for sixty years so this is the breaking of their silence. They seem more struck speechless at the memory than anything else. Fourteen thousand men were put through that experience. Amazing what they did to us. >br? >br?

Some Liberal Lies, Delusions and Manufactured Misinformation

If there isn't a book out there documenting all the liberal lies and delusions and countering them with accurate accounts, there should be. It's the popping o f such bubbles of delusion that has led many to walk away from the Democrats. Their testimonies can be found t the Walkawau Ca,[aogm websote/ :pts pf ;oes abpit Trump in particujlar, a dissection of those could easily fill a book. Lies, delusions, insinuations, manufactured false impressions which disappear when shown in their true context./ But we're awash in lieral lies and delusions of all kinds these days, lies about race and racism, lies about the economy, about inflation, lies about COVID and its treatments, etc. etc..

Larry Elder is particularly good at collecting information about common jliberal beliefs and showing how they're wrong. Here's one about the liberal belief that Conservatives are greedy and selfish and liberals are more generous:

\
And here's one about common beliefs about slavery, gun control and the minimum wage:




Is poverty the cause of crime?


Here's an interview he did with Heather MacDonald about systemic racism among cops. The statistics don't bear out that opinion. The Tony Timpa incident was mentioned, in which a white man was killed by cops under exactly the same circumstances that George Floyd was killed.

The Fear of the Lord Teaches the Wisdom of Preserving Life and Health By Avoiding Sin

God's Law is one of my revolving topics these days and although I haven't been researching itrelated conceptsw have been turning up here and there, mostly in sermons I'm listening to. I listen to sermons because I want to be inspired and strengthened in my faith. Ideally I'd like to find a sermon or maybe a new preacher I'm not familiar with who teaches in a way that takes me deep into a devotional state of mind. Spurgeon does that at times. But then I often find myself objecting to this or that comment the teacher makes and that's very disappointing. I don't want to be in the position of finding fault with a teacher I appreciate and when it happens I want it to go qaway. But sometimes it raises anissue I've been thinking about anyway and then I have to follow it out and that's happened a few times lately with issues related to the topic of God's Law.

These are my favorite teachers I'm talking about, teachers I love, teachers who do inspire and educate me. I hate disagreeing with them. Who do I think I am? I can hope I'm wrong, but meanwhile I have to pursue this thought that got raised.

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," or sometimes it reads "knowlege" instead of "wisdom" I'd pretty much orked out what that meant, or so I thought. Fearing the Lord means fearing the consequences o violating His commendments, His Law. the wages of sin is death. Although Christians are under grace and saved for et unbelievreermninity, in this life we are told we are just as subject to the consequencesw of sin as any unbeliever. The unbeliever has Hell to fear and we don't but we do have temporal consequences of sin which can be pretty painfujl.

That's how I think about fear of the LOrd, an it's hard to think of it any other way. But then I heard a teacher say it really means worship. It does? And another teacher said the book of Proverbs, which is all about the fear of the Lord, the consequencea of sin and the wisdom of obedience, is not about Law. It's not? These are bot5h teachers I love.

Isn't the message of fearing the Lord that if we do fear Him we will avoid committing the sins that bring painful consequences and pursue a path that leads to life and health? Is't that what the book of Provervs says oer and over again? Do this and and life. And isn't that the same the Mosaic Law says? Do this and live.
\THIS ISN'T lAW IN THE HUMAN WORLDLY SENSE. tHIS IS lAW ON THE LEVEL OF lAW, EMBEDDED IN THE STUFF OF THE UNIVERSE, INEXORABVL, INERADICABLE, INESCAPABLE. (this was not supposed to be capitalizI hit something I swhouldn'te and now it's too big a project to undo it, sorry.)

I got on this topic when it hit me that the "knowledge" of Hosea 4 is this same kind of knowledge, whthat, or god says that His people are destroyed for edge. Sin destroys. All sort of things may be instruments of uction but it's sin that is the reason for all destruction. If we were sinless we coudln't be hurt by anything. Jes couldn't die because He w. that's why He was able to die fo, in our place. And why do we need saving?: Beause of the Law. It's all aboutut the Law. We always at odds witht e Lw which condemns us and condemns us and condemns us. ,br>
Am I wrong about this? I keep thinking thta oen't under the Law if we belong to Jesus, but nevertheless the Law is holy and s prepecutally and exactly ahout pause. I thnink we often slighbecause we . No, I don't hink it is legtreat it with respect.

A Voddie Baucham Sermon I Needed to Hear

wHAT A SERMON! i'M RUNG OUT AFTER HEARING IT. this is Vodie Baucham on Romans 8 abd ge;s tajeb ut yo frin a oiubt if vuew u gavebp;t geard before: how dare we question God about His sovereign will. Who do we think we are? The topic is election. The arrogance of the created being in asking the Creator how He could choose some and not choose others for salvation. He doesn't miss a beat, he doesn't miss a relevant point, or so it seemed to me. This is the right answer to all those who dare to judge God, and it's the answer to all of us who complain about our lot. T

John MacArthur on the Antichrist System of the Popes and Roman Catholicism

This sermon by John MacArthur simply showed up at You Tube and it's a very thorough discussion of the Antichrist nature of the papacy so I want to be sure it gets posted here. I think it's a few years old but I can't find a date on it, maybe that's just because I can't see well enough but I don't kbnow when he preached it whatever the reason. It's a powerful and very pointed teaching, MacArethur does not mince words. Catcholicism is destroying people by their false salvation and Catholics need to learn this so they can escape.


The abomination of the elevatio of Mary by the Popes is shown in quotes from a book by Pope John Paul. The lie that Peter was the first Pope is described after Mary is discussed toward the end of the sermon.

I'm just happy I found this video. I've heard lots of good teachings on the subnjeject of the papal Antichrist, but Mac Arthur does a particujlarly good job of it.

Catholics need this teachinjg about over so they can save themselves and leave this abomination of a false church.

The Bible is not Just Another Ancient Book for Scholarly Investigationn, It's the Onlyy True Guide to Reality

Last night's Coast-to-coast radio show hosted by George Noory (he spelled it on air for which I'm grateful) wasn't about the paranormal but about the Dead Sea Scrolls. the guest was a scholar not a believer though he seems to have a sorta kinda belief in something from the jewish point of view. The scrolls are all of the Hebrew Bible, all Old Testament and he mentioned how all the OT books are repesented in teh scrolls, the Isaiah scroll being completely intact which the others are fragments, and that the text is exactly the same text we use today. He has a few opinions about the New testament and jesus too although he is an unbeliever and none of that is represented in the scrolls.

It's always annoying to me how the "scholars" have to refer to the dates involved as BCE and CE for Before Common Era and Common Era, instead of the traditional BC for Before Chirst and AD for Ano DComini or Year of Our Lord. So prissy of them they just have to cancel out any hint of religion although you'd think they'd at ledast resepcdt the fact that the traditional dates are part of the culture of Western Civilization. Amazing how anything that points to the true God has to be expunged although the same people who like to do that are often very zealous to preserve other kids of cultural markers.

Nothing in the show shed any light on recent topics that I could see. My posts about the occult and paranormal emphasize that the BHible is the explanation for all such things, but this show wouldn't relate to that. You have to beleie the Bible for one thing for it to be authoritative about anything such as demons. If you don't believe it you're just going to go onj as mostof Noory's guests do, just wandering around in all sorts of speculations of the human mind, dreaming up extraterrestrials and other dimensions and so on when it seems pretty clear to me that the demons are responsible for all of it. We only really know about demons from the Bible. But you've got to beliee it, you can't just treat it as one of many interesting works about "the other side>'

Which reminds me thta I've heard quite a bit lately from other sources about how so much of today's political ideology is "religious" in nature. Wokeness for instance. A lot of the COVID craziness for instance. I know what they mean of course, they mean it's all held irrationally as a sort of faith without evidence or actually aainst the evidence. ]

That could apply to some political positiohs and some religions botyh, but the way it's getting used it's made to represent all religion and that of course drivesw me crazy. Christianity is not relitgious in that sense. They seem to think that faith is an irrational thing in itself, as in "blind faith," but that was never what is meant by the word in Christianity. Faith is a trust you place in a person or doctrinyou have good reaon to believe is eminently trustworthy, and in the cast of Christian faith the Bible provides the evidence. Of course you have first to beleive the bible is trustworthy and if you don't you'll never have the necessary evidence. As the Deaad Sea Scrolls scholar said, some even doubt that Moses was a real person. Forget eidence of any sort if you are willing to doubt such basic information. The doubts are what is irrational in this case, The doubts are rthe "religion" in the sense I mention above.

If you believe the Bible is the word of God, "God-breathed" as scripture says, then it becoes the door to an amazing world of information you can't get anywhere else. Real information. Knowledge of all kinds of things the fallen mind can't figure out on its own. "Faith is the subtstance of things hoped for, " says the scripture, :the evidence of things unseeen." In the most everyday sense we hve to have faith in all sortgs of things we have no other way to verify by experience and when it comes to the supernatural we hvae to depend on witnesses and that means we have to be satisfied that the witnesses are trustworthy.

Trust it and see glories unimaginable. Don't trust it and get led down all the primrose paths the devil lovs to take you down knowing your fallen mind is attracacted to them.
