Free-for-All

There is no doubt in my mind that the present government has ‘massaged the figures’ when it comes to asylum seekers…it has now been revealed that the true number who have entered this country is probably double that quoted by ministers…100,000 more a year (Daily Mail, 27th September 2004)

The figures were “significantly undercounted” (or do they mean “deliberately lied about”??). It seems that because immigrants did not have a National Insurance number, they were not counted in the official figures. Are we expected to believe, with such vast numbers involved, that the government miscalculated? Please!! It is far more likely that the giving of N.I. numbers was deliberately slowed down so that figures could be misrepresented.

On top of that, uncounted thousands went straight on to Incapacity Benefit, and thus received payments that our own UK citizens have great difficulty receiving!

Now, there is news that the UK is to build detention camps for asylum seekers…in Africa! After that, more might be built in other countries. The idea is to process applications before the people arrive in the UK. But that is just a farce, as most who reach the UK claim unemployment benefits or other state helps. We are sealing our own economic doom!

However, David Blunkett is soon about to sign-over responsibility to the EU by allowing our borders to come down. In other words, many, many more immigrants will flood into the UK, even though we cannot cope with those we already have.

I sincerely hope that the UK does not become one big ghetto, for if it does, a violent, bankrupt, future will become our lot. There is nothing wrong with allowing a few immigrants to enter the UK every year – those who have qualifications or skills this country needs, with jobs. But a free-for-all will only serve to fuel the evil minds of men and women who are filled with hatred, as well as make the UK a country that is no longer recognisable as British.

Scripture Is Against Charismaticism

“…many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.”

That is what Paul says in Philippians 3:18, 19. ‘True’ Charismatics glory in what is shameful, as plenty of charismatic meetings prove. They preach an Arminian gospel which is anathema, and this makes them enemies of the cross of Christ. I am not being hateful or personal, but quoting scripture.

The ‘god’ of ‘true’ charismatics is their belly – their passions and feelings, and they remain rooted on this earth, with physical signs and wonders galore. And the same chapter speaks of such people as ‘dogs’ (those with an impure mind). Why, then, do so many Christians tolerate charismaticism? The Biblical evidence against it is overwhelming!

This is why I oppose charismaticism and do not call its true followers my brethren. I continue to remind readers of this, for many turn to charismatic foundations, thinking, wrongly, that they are true to God. For them, the quiet certitude of genuine Biblical teaching seems dull and ineffective, and people who warn others, like myself, are ‘unloving’.

Indeed, I am often urged to offer honey and not vinegar, and to ‘tone down’ what I say. Friends…read scripture if you really want to see words that are hard and tough! This ministry is about two things – opposing evil in our midst and teaching truth. Inevitably, this means using tough talk! I dare not offer honey to those who are ‘dogs’ or cultists whose message is called anathema by God! (Note that the meaning of ‘soft words’ in scripture is ‘weakness of heart’ or to be weak).

Many are duped by charismatics, who hate those who oppose them, believing the opposers to be enemies when, in fact, it is they who are enemies of the cross of Christ, for following what is anathema. They attend charismatic meetings, sing their bouncy songs and Arminian hymns, and show a growing sympathy for all that is charismatic or Pentecostal, as God watches in anger.

May God help all who are saved and thus deceived, for if they continue in following what is anathema, God will turn against them in His wrath and take them from the face of this earth. Those who are deluded into thinking they are saved, however, will end their existence in hell. Far better to tell them tough things than to let them remain deluded and bound for destruction. Meanwhile, they dance to the tune of the devil, as they joyfully obey the fruitless demands and teachings of charismaticism.

It is true to say that charismatics and others around the world have contacted me and have wished to come to our meetings. Some have attended, but most stop at the first hurdle…nearly all reject what we do, for what we do is simple and quiet.

They return to what is charismatic, because though they have experienced pangs of conscience given by the Holy Spirit, they cannot resist going back to the hot-bed of Pentecostal fervour they have left behind.

Thus, their ‘god’ is their belly, the seat of all emotions. They prefer emotional contact to godly truth. They want what God has to give them, but will not turn their backs on the dictates of their bellies and on their friends, who all follow the same sorry path of destruction…and “this I now tell you even weeping.”  It does not delight me to argue, or to oppose others. (As I have said before, it brings me many attacks). But, it is the task given to me by God. So be it

Many people with cancer look fit and well, but their insides contain a vile and all-powerful disease that is destroying them. As some sit in their charismatic meetings enjoying what is on offer, remember that they are sitting in the midst of a cancerous body condemned by God.

Pharisees were called ‘vipers’ by Christ…and they shared the same belief in ‘assisted salvation’ by man’s will, as Arminians. So, what does He call true charismatics? Makes you think, eh?

Blair’s Catholicism

It has emerged that Tony Blair chose to confess and seek counsel from a Roman Catholic priest, Timothy Russ, about his conscience regarding the Iraq war. As one Daily Mail (16th Oct) journalist says, if Blair coverts fully to Romanism he will be the first UK Prime Minister ever to turn to Rome! This, friends, would be even more disastrous than retaining a Labour government!

We already know that he clings strongly to full EU membership – is it because of his Romanist leanings? The RC ‘father’ has been the closest confidant of the Blairs for 8 years, so they have had Catholic counsel for all that time. The priest adds that Blair denies converting to the RCC in public but speaks of it in private. He also visits Chequers regularly to hold mass and to conduct services. Blair is, then, a Catholic in all but name. His wife is already RC, so the step to join her would be very small.

Despite this closeness with the Prime Minister, the priest thinks that Blair has a ‘moral blindness’ and so opposes many of his policies. Blair, he says, does not grasp the vital part he has to play in the country’s morality and though he is himself a staunch family man, he allows his party to ruin the UK with immoral legal changes, from homosexual equality to non-married families.

Russ believes that when Blair leaves his job, he will devote his life to religion (RC, of course) and ‘peace’ between religions, because this is what he has spoken to him about.

The worst part is that the world equates Romanism with Christianity, and Blair honestly believes he is a Christian. I have no doubt that he is sincere, but his influence in this sphere would be enormously damaging to God’s people and to the genuine Gospel.

Blair has an eclectic interest in religion, as he and his wife have proved in their countless ‘spiritual’ experiences from yelling in Red Indian trances to meeting with RC’s. Another of his mentors is the Anglican Rev. Peter Thomson, so his influences are full of error and unbiblical teachings. The Blair children have all been dedicated to Rome and Tony has already declared his interest in ecumenism.

As cynics have said, this is Blair’s political mind in action…agree with as many ‘Christians’ and other religions as possible, to gain maximum votes! Even so, the satirical magazine, Private Eye, named him the ‘Vicar of Albion’, portraying him as a hypocrite. Even the late cardinal Basil Hume asked him to refrain from taking mass because he was an Anglican! Behind the scenes many are concerned that Blair might convert to Rome.

As a result, Blair now tries to hide his love of Catholicism, by attending 10-15 RC churches spread around the UK! His biographers believe that Blair will eventually convert, but will not do so now because it is not politically expedient, especially as he has presided over Irish peace talks.

Why prefer the RCC over Anglicanism? It is believed that Rome represents power in this world, and Blair loves to have power. And, as one cynic close to Blair said, “The truth about Blair’s God is that he is non-denominational, just very personal and always telling him that he is right!”

Friends, we have made much about voting for Labour in the past. Once again we urge you to consider the consequences of voting Blair in for another term of office. He has already taken the UK down a precarious and immoral road, with a chosen slavery to the EU. A Catholic Blair will simply continue the ruination of a country that has remained free of Rome for a long time. Is this your desire?

Music, Sex and Death

A black police chief urged rappers to write more responsible songs. Superintendant Leroy Logan says that rap music is behind many street murders today, as it glamorises crime and killing.

Try watching so-called ‘music’ channels on TV. There you will find an abundance of rap music – repetitive, driving, and totally immoral. They concentrate on crime, killing, drugs and sex. Almost any music video nowadays is founded on blatant sex, and it all affects young minds.

We’ve Said it Before!

In the past, when I was more interested in psychiatry, I attempted to get articles published by the journals. But I was usually rejected because they were ‘disgusted’ that a qualified psychiatric nurse could ‘write such terrible stuff’.

What was so terrible? I was saying that mental illness has never been proved to exist, and that those who commit crimes and killings under the guise of being mentally ill, must be held accountable.

Now, a senior murder squad detective, Commander Andy Baker, adds his voice to the same kind of opposition to freedom for killers.

He says that doctors refuse to give vital information on suspects who have a so-called ‘mental health’ background. Thus, they know that some will kill, but refuse to advise the police, claiming that it would breach the rules of ‘confidentiality’. Try using that excuse with the victims and their families!

The Commander correctly asserts that “The right to privacy is superseded by the right to life.” As a nurse I know of the frustrating process of trying to obtain information on patients, the lack of which can often lead to their deaths.

The police chief is calling for a more reasonable approach, because so many ‘care in the community’ patients murder innocent people. Yet, they are released secretly, and even police are unaware they exist, until they kill again. In every community there are ‘mentally-ill’ people who are dangerous and can kill or injure others. But, as we live in a godless society, who really cares?

Her Enjoyment – Our Money

Noticed over the last decade or so how unmarried mothers parade their sins in public? One 22 year old with six children by two fathers gets £1,120 in benefits every month and is soon to be given an enlarged council house…all of which comes out of our pockets!

Is she ashamed of all this? Not a bit! She says that she knew what she was doing and the children are her life. My response is simple – then get on with it, but don’t expect me to pay for your sin!

She happily says that it was her choice to have sex and to get pregnant, and wants only to raise her kids. Fine! Except that her enjoyment is at our expense. Child benefits in the UK have soared to over £22 billion a year, as more and more single mothers have children without any intention of getting married, and have help from the state (us!). And the government helps them to feel good about it by supporting them morally and politically. It has to stop.

The anti-gay official in the EU has also expressed his opposition to unmarried mothers, so, once again, he has been denounced. Inevitably, the media refer to these girls who have multiple babies at our expense, as ‘mums’…making their activity sound more cosy than it really is. What they do is fornication!

Needless to say, the EU are angry and have forced him to resign. He may be a Roman Catholic, but he is saying only what scripture says. Meanwhile, an official report denouncing Labour policies, which, it says, actively encourages single motherhood, has been ‘hushed up’. What a surprise!

Why You Can’t Have Your Operation

(A statement made by the Daily Mail, 27th Sept).

A woman whose twisted thinking drove her to try to become a man, has cost us, the taxpayers, £40,000, Known only as Richard Skinner (proper female name was not given), this woman elected to go to Belgium to be operated on by the world’s foremost sex-change surgeon. She applied to her local health board, and they readily agreed to it.

In a letter to a transsexual newsletter, this woman advised all similar cases to make their application straight away – so there goes your new hip, or a place for your Mum in a nursing home!

If all these cases apply for funding, it will leave a massive hole in NHS funding. It is already costing us over £3 million a year! How can this be? Because, in 1999, a judge without sense or Biblical understanding said that gender change cases are ‘illnesses’.

Since then, psychiatrists have convinced themselves that this is true, thus perpetuating the farce. Those who want these operations are certainly twisted individuals – but they are not ill, just sinful.

Copeland’s Lies

“Touch not the Lord’s anointed” is a phrase often used by charismatics to stop criticism of what they do.

Kenneth Copeland is one such man, who, like all other charismatic leaders, lies to get the message across. But when found out in a lie, no-one really cares, which says a lot about discernment!

Copeland lies constantly about spiritual things, so he should not just be touched – I am surprised that he is not struck down by God.

He claims to be able to ‘hear in the spirit’ what his staff members are saying! This, friends, has no Biblical precedent – it is an example of spiritism. He says that even if we don’t like what a man says, or cannot agree with it, we must “keep our mouths shut”. Talk about putting a concrete block in mouths that speak truth!

Copeland, like so many other self-appointed ‘prophets’, makes prophecies that simply do not come true. He is, therefore, a false prophet.

It is with a wry smile that I report that Copeland claims to have prophesied the bringing down of the Berlin Wall in 1989. He wanted to put it into one of his newsletters…but an employee did not put it in. So, it appeared after the event.

Yes, good one, that! Just like me – I prophesied that there would be an Iraq war with the USA, but forgot to put it into the Beacon. (We can all say what we like after an event!).

In 1995, Copeland told his audience in Brisbane that God had told him that he must go to Brisbane every year…but in ten years only managed to get there four times! Hm. Some prophecy!

In December 2001 he openly told another audience that a billion Muslims would come to Christ over the next few months! Did they? Obviously not.

Copeland is a liar and a fraud, a bad pastor, a false teacher of scripture. Listen to him and others like him at your peril.

EU Fascism

It is as plain as the nose on your face – the EU is showing itself to be fascist. One of the traits of fascism is the burning of books and the active ruin of all who oppose its demands.

The EU decided that one of the proposed Commissioners could not continue to act on behalf of Italy, because he opposed homosexuality. He said that it was a sin. For this, the whole assembly of EU ministers refused to have him amongst them. His voice will be silenced. That is fascism!

It also proves to all Christians what the coming EU super-government will be like…opposed to God and to Christians. We can expect more laws that liberate sexual perversion, and more action taken against any who dare to speak their mind. Needless to say, we warned about this before the last elections. Newspapers refused to print our warnings.

False Prophets – But Who Cares?

The Elijah List has just published its first book, ‘Transported by the Lion of Judah’. It speaks of Christ in the guise of a lion.

I read just one small portion, of a supposed visit to a huge Buddhist temple…the description is fanciful and out of character with Christ the Lord. But, charismatics will lap it all up as though it is manna. It contains a sort-of ‘prophecy’’.

I say ‘sort-of’ because no-one could ever verify that it took place. Charismatics specialise in these unverifiable predictions, because they can’t be verified! But remember – even if some of them do come true – Satan can swing events this way and that so that he can bring about verification.

I’m not referring to big things of importance, but small things that Christ would never bother to give as a prophecy; things that are of no consequence and no value to anyone; things that are typically in the realm of spiritualists.

And when a ‘biggy’ arises, they shut up and make excuses, because they know they can be challenged! One such ‘biggy’ is the red Indian charismatic ‘prophet’ who was one night taken to stand against a forcefield of a ‘shield’ that supposedly protects an election candidate in the USA.

The Indian claims that the man is affected by occult forces and has been ‘seduced by a high level of sorcery’. No wonder the Indian refuses to give us the name of the person he is talking about!

It is very easy to be anonymous, because if the person you talk about is not guilty, you can simply move on and attach your prediction to someone else! The Indian speaks of ‘breaking the occult shield of evil’. It is like hearing a script from the Star Wars film, not the word of God!

Of course, this is heavily linked with the notion of ‘territorial spirits’ who roam a district and take over, much like New York gangs. What garbage!

If charismatics truly listened to what these people tell them, with real discernment, they would recognise that Satan is not the subject of their predictions…he is the object; he is leading them!

EU Funding of Terror

Did you know that the EU is sending $10 million a month to Palestine? That’s your money and mine! The EU knows that it is being used to finance Muslim terrorism, but it sends it anyway!

Meanwhile, Germany has stopped selling arms to Israel, hoping that it will collapse. All that would happen is that Israel will be slaughtered by Palestinian Muslim terrorists! Perhaps Germany has conveniently forgotten the part it played in genocide?

Christians must try to stop the EU from gaining any more power! Our leaders have already signed the EU Constitution, which effectively hands over the UK to Europe…but each country must ratify the signing before it can be made effective. Will we have a referendum for this? And even if we do, will it be just like the one in 1971, where most people I know voted NOT to join?

A Labour of Love (for money!)

Whilst ministers of the UK government say stern things to pension providers, they have been building a fortune to cover their own pensions!

Tony Blair has ensured that his own pension will start at £100,000 a year! Each cabinet minister has built up a pension amounting to a total of £1 million. The cynicism and corrupt nature of these people is astounding, when they tell everyone in the country that they must save for a pension, or live in poverty!! (Source: Sunday Times, 17th October).

I can’t save for a pension. Can you? Yet, the cabinet ministers will enjoy a huge pension paid for by our taxes, though we ourselves cannot get one. To say that this is disgusting is an understatement.

We can add to this the even bigger acts of corruption enacted by most of our MP’s, the top ten worst culprits being, guess who – yes, Labour MP’s.

Their particular scam is to claim ‘expenses’ for second homes when, frankly, they don’t need them, plus many other expenses. And our MEP’s can claim even more! These are cats that get fat on our taxes, when they warn us sternly that we must tighten our belts…

There was a time when MP’s did not get paid. Maybe we should bring back this more honourable form of government! And the same applies to local councillors, too, who rake in thousands every year, even though many of them work at ‘day’ jobs anyway. I know one (Labour) councillor, who, though recently deposed by another party, receives many thousands and travels for months at a time around the world, sometimes taking his wife. He also has his own villa in Spain.

How come a councillor has to travel around the world, when the rest of us have to send for leaflets and catalogues and use the telephone and mail? Why do totally untechnical councillors have to travel the world to look at sewage works? Why can’t representatives come to them and explain by video and chat? It’s all just one big scam!!

Babies Galore

I gasped in surprise when I read that more teenage girls than ever before have become pregnant since being given advice on sex!

No, I wasn’t really surprised, because I predicted this would happen. The biggest increases have come from areas that have been specially targeted for free contraception and counselling services! As one newspaper reported, the scheme has “backfired spectacularly”. (Source: Daily Mail, 1st Nov 2004).

As it is now, the Labour government encourages single motherhood, and pays to support unmarried teenagers, many of whom get pregnant deliberately in order to gain benefits and housing. There is no moral stance, and youngsters have no qualms about being pregnant or promiscuous.

Another result of this sinful state of affairs, is that venereal diseases are now out of control, including HIV. They are resistant to the strongest antibiotics. We are staring into a black void!
