The current pope will not be with us for long, and there will be no surprise when his death is announced. But what does surprise me, is the sympathy extended to this man from Christians. I can understand it coming from Roman Catholics, or even from unbelievers – but from Christians?

The popes are a long line of heretical leaders. The current pope is no different and I do not hesitate to refer to him as Satan’s helper. Like all those before him, this pope has done his very best to perpetuate the heresies of Rome. We are not talking about mere theological errors, but about a worldwide system that teaches a godless message, one that should be totally offensive to all who know Christ.

Thus, to show sympathy for such a man is a spiritual absurdity and an offence against God. The pope has just one surety – that the moment he dies he is doomed and his fate is sealed. His end will be hell, for leading millions in godlessness, systematically and deliberately, as an unsaved man.

The media refer to the pope as a good man. But, in God’s eyes, he is an unsaved sinner, a blind man leading other blind men. He teaches and upholds centuries of gross heresies, and leads a church that is false…Catholicism is not even Christian! No, the pope is not good. He is made heinous by his deceptions.

His passing will bring about great mourning everywhere, but the Christian has no reason to mourn his death. As they say about ‘buses – another one will be along in a minute! The next pope will just continue the spiritual wickedness and continue being Satan’s helper.

The Catholic religion is evil, as are its leaders and preachers, and they deserve no praise or sympathy. Do not be sucked-in by the media circus. Be level-headed and remember Who God is, and what He thinks of men like the pope, who devote their lives to a cause that is against God.

The ‘keys’ were given to Christ Himself, not to Peter, and that is what Christ says in the New Testament. The Roman church did not assume such a widespread role until about 300 years after Christ, and there are no proven links between Peter and the popes! It is all a deadly farce, a wicked deception evolved over time by Satan the arch-enemy of souls. The pope (any pope), by aligning himself with all this, is also, therefore, an arch-enemy of souls, shackled to the devil and doing his bidding.

The pope, then, is not to be sympathised with, or offered unconditional love from all and sundry. He is bound for hell because he is unsaved. He needs salvation, not sympathy!

Pray for his salvation by all means, but don’t fall into the trap of portraying him as a benign old man with love for everyone in the world. It is an odd kind of love that happily sends millions to hell on a horse called Deception!

Lock Them Up

I’ve been in trouble before, for saying that some mental patients ought to be locked up. Today, it seems that the ‘human rights’ of a man are infringed if we stop him from murdering others!!

A few days ago yet another ‘mental patient’ brutally stabbed a fifty year old man as he cycled happily through a park. Then, the killer went for a stroll, without a care.

Look at the facts – this man, dubbed a ‘paranoid schizophrenic’, left a mental hospital, went into a shop, studied the knives on offer, bought a suitable model, went to a park, hid and waited, and chose a man as a victim. Then he lunged out and killed him. That, my friends, is first degree murder!

Mental illness exists only in the kinds of those who wish to believe it. There are no proofs. It is all academic. There are also others, like me, who do not believe it exists. Sadly, it is the believers in mental illness who hold the stage at the moment – and so 40 people a year are murdered by these savage killers, who are allowed to roam unchecked by those in authority!

I have no qualms whatever in saying that these people should be locked up for life, without remission. Preferably, they ought to be given the death sentence, but, with profound lack of wisdom, the countries of the West have shunned God’s commands and allow deliberate killers to live. We therefore reap what we sow.

The Benefits of Being Evil

Talking of sympathy for those who are evil…I see that Maxine Carr will have a lifetime guarantee of anonymity. A judge said that otherwise she was “in danger of serious physical and psychological harm.”

A man who works with me, unsaved, quipped that he could give up working so hard just by doing something ‘horrendous’. Then, he said, he would get a free house, credit cards and money and protection for life! And he is right!

This woman did a vile thing, and yet she is being rewarded with an attention that law-abiding folk do not get. It is, to put it mildly, sickening.

Swirling Does It!

Seen the Sufi dancers (in Turkey, for example) who swirl in white robes? As they turn faster and faster, they turn one hand up to the sky and one to the earth.  Know why?

Many tourists stand and watch this routine, thinking that it is just a foreign dance. In reality, the dancers are inviting spiritual forces into their body.

The hand in the air has a ‘hole’ in the palm (invisible) and ‘universal love’ enters the hole, travels through the arm, around the heart, and back out again to the earth, through the lowered hand. It is how we obtain greatest love, so says its practitioners.

What interests me is that their dancing is very similar to dances performed in charismatic churches. Very often the dresses are white and flowing, and the form takes on a swirling action. Many activities in charismatic churches are copies of Sufi and shaman rites. And it is getting worse and worse.

The reason that charismatic activities resemble occult rites is that they are occult anyway! All charismatic churches are occult, spiritist places, where Satan roams unhampered, because he is invited to attend. Some are less outward and specific in their activities, but the degree of activity does not matter – it takes just a small ‘hole’ for demons to enter a place and wreak havoc.

Asylum…

Those who have a good memory and have been following notes in The Beacon about asylum, will know that recent moves by government are the same as we have been advocating for some years! You will also note that any predictions we made are coming true…just as they did with HIV.

Now, the Lancet has attacked the Tories for wanting to screen asylum seekers and other immigrants for HIV, TB, etc. What on earth is wrong with people? Screening for awful diseases is vital today. We should even have the right to turn people back if they have them.

Why should we have to pay through the nose for the diseases people get through sexual promiscuity? Indeed, why should we have to pay for those UK citizens with these diseases?

The world has been turned upside down – not by Christ, but by godless men and women who think it okay to allow evil to proliferate.

(Way back in the mid 1980’s I predicted from the figures that HIV would show a big rise in the heterosexual population. And this has now been admitted.

More than half with HIV today are heterosexual. Most contracted the disease whilst abroad. Homosexuals now account for only 28% of all new cases.

But, don’t be fooled. The Terence Higgins Trust  - for gays – says “No-one can afford to be complacent.” This is nonsense, a smokescreen! Gays have successfully hidden the stark fact that it was homosexuals who brought the disease to the west and all cases of HIV were completely homosexual in the beginning.

How did it get to the heterosexual population? By homosexuals having sex with heterosexuals and by sharing dirty drugs needles, etc. Because relatively few men and women indulge in sexual aberrations such as homosexuality, it stands to reason that once the HIV virus is in heterosexuals, it will spread to a greater degree amongst them.

If men and women were not promiscuous and lived as God intended, there would be no AIDS or any other sexually transmitted diseases! So, it has nothing to do with being ‘complacent’ – it is to do with being pure and living a moral life!

Red Faced…

And, why not have Sudan 1 dye put into our food? It might indeed cause cancer, but at least it brings some colour into our lives and makes shoe leather look nicer! (Joke)

Good Point!

A woman short-listed for a Labour MP’s seat was suddenly removed from the running, because the Party discovered she had once been a prostitute.

This is correct. But her retort was also correct. She asked why she could not be an MP because of her prostitution, when so many MP’s were homosexuals or had affairs? She has a valid point, there! I find the moral state of our ‘leaders’ to be deplorable and appalling.

They think that they can be as despicable and promiscuous as they wish, and the public let them get away with it! We get the leaders we deserve, and if we let them be disgusting, they will continue to be so, and taking huge salaries and expenses into the bargain! I’ve got very little good to say for our parliament; the hypocrisy and lies are just too much, as is their sexual immorality.

Get Him Out

It doesn’t bother me that some think we should not get involved in politics. So, once again, we urge you all, and your friends and family, to vote the Labour Party out of office this year.

We have given plenty of reasons in the past. We warned against Labour before they were voted in, and gave a growing list of reasons. Now, we have a UK that is just a blob on a map, ruled by foreigners who take all our money. We have no sovereignty, no morals, no effective leadership.

If you don’t believe us, why not read a book that examines the Blairs in detail? “The Blairs and their Court” by Francis Beckett and David Hencke, published by Aurum, ISBN No. 1 84513 024 3, first published 2004.

We are now stuck in a horrendous dance of death with Europe, but at least we can help to now limit the damage done and maybe even start to pull out from the EU. That is, if we get rid of Tony Blair and his pretentious party.

Neurotics

It is my personal belief that neurotics should not be allowed to get away with their gradual removal of responsibility by initiating claims to all kinds of vague conditions and illnesses. They should be squarely faced with the truth and told to stop what they are doing.

The old adage (much laughed at by ‘professionals’) to “Pull yourself together” is most apt, because neuroses are not illnesses. They are failures to respond properly to life.

One will get depressed, another will invent all manner of illnesses, and another will even fall down deliberately to break a limb! Each is trying to be absolved from responsibility by giving out a ‘reason’ for their condition. Sadly, many folk fall for this deception – which is what it is.

Even in our churches, men and women become ‘ill’ with a neurosis, and obtain sympathy. Some will go into an ever-increasing spiral of frenetic activity (or inactivity) leading to final breakdown. And still Christians will offer sympathy. This goes against every word in scripture.

Christians who become neurotic do so because they are not given guidance. They should be stopped in their tracks at the very first sign. Not with nasty innuendo or rebuke, but with Biblical truth and a kind heart.

They must be shown that though things may not be going well with them, or they have made errors, there are fellow believers around who care and who will assist them to get back onto the right track. If that is not done early enough, the Christian will drive him or her self downward into a pit of despair and misery, and will affect others, too. Such a task is tough, but it has to be done, for the sake of the individual and for the whole church.

As for unbelievers, well, we can try to advise them, but they have no internal reason to listen. So they go downward. Some might listen – but Christians should not spend long hours attempting to persuade them to do the right thing.

How can Christian counsel be taken in by those who are unsaved? It is not possible. They must know Christ before they can listen to Christian counsel!

Neurotics who are left to their own devices cause real misery to everyone around them, and this affects the life of the Christian. So, if you notice signs of neuroses in a fellow Christian, take prompt action.

A Favourite Whipping-Boy!

Alongside this work situation, I also have to contend with a great deal of nastiness from many quarters, particularly on the Internet.

The nastiness usually comes from Roman Catholics. One recently threw a stream of abuse at me, using the most disgusting curses and swear words. But he is not alone.

Despite their claims to being of the true church, these sad followers of deception usually use swear words and threats of violence. It is part of the Catholic culture, so it seems, at least in certain countries.

The same fellow objected to my linking some Catholics with some Muslims, in the matter of violence. In trying to deny the link, this Catholic uttered the most vile of obscenities and threats of violence!! Hm. That convinced me, of course, that he was a loving Christian!

Oh well…

I’ve now had my second reminder that I am not as young as I think I am!

The first occasion, was when I was in my mid-twenties and I was walking up a street. Two little boys were doing something naughty and one said to the other “Watch it, a man is coming.”  That word ‘man’ replaced the word ‘boy’ and I was rather peeved!

The latest, today, was when a rather young postman said “Hi pops” when he handed me my letters. I was so taken aback I just grinned to myself, at this first obvious remark reflecting my true age rather than the one I would like to be at!!

Maybe I should reluctantly remind myself that I will be 60 next year. (Wasn’t I only 21 last year??).

Interesting

Billy Graham, in one of his syndicated columns, recently said that Jesus Christ is the only name by which any man can be saved. Given his rather heretical past, this is interesting, especially as he seems to allow Islam a voice, as well as Roman Catholicism.

Is anyone out there aware of a change in Graham and his views? Or, is this statement by him just a statement and not a firm belief?

Another Elijah List Deception

We have previously mentioned the Elijah List as yet another charismatic deception. Sadly, like so much that is charismatic, this group has a strong semblance of Biblical belief, but its errors are deep and harmful.

In one of its latest publications, speaking of ‘pseudo-spiritualism’ (I think maybe the author got that title wrong), the writer offers strange and harmful comments about what is false and what is true.

Referring to spiritism as a ‘shadow’ of the real thing, he goes on to suggest that where there is this ‘shadow’ there is the real thing. That is, it tries to mimic a ‘true’ spiritual encounter – as propounded by charismaticism. This is the pot calling the kettle black!

Spiritual deceptions and false gifts are not necessarily reflections or shadows of a ‘real thing’. Deception can stand alone, as can gifts. Many so-called ‘gifts’ in charismaticism are simply deceptions and do not attempt to mimic anything given by God.

As charismaticism goes even deeper into deception, so we can expect a growth in supposed gifts and manifestations that have no basis in real things at all.

Germany Brands Blair a liar

The German foreign minister confirmed on Friday that Tony Blair and Jack Straw have both been lying to the British people (as if we didn’t know). He told his government that the EU constitution “is the birth certificate of the united States of Europe.” He added that it was the “framework for an even closer union.”

Only two weeks ago Jack Straw told the UK that signing the treaty would bolster Britain’s sovereign right to make laws. This is yet another warning to us all that Britain is now dead. Long live the super-state!

Caught in another lie…Blair told the UK that the MRSA (‘superbug’) levels in our hospitals are no worse than in any other country.  On investigation, it was found that the UK has the worst record in Europe! He has also lied about the sudden increase in operations.

He managed to raise the number being performed not by some wonderful means, but by sending hundreds of sick folk out into nursing homes, even if they have drips! I know this from social service sources and from new admissions!

I also know that if we ever have to send anyone into hospital, they almost always return with MRSA. I repeat – we should get Blair out, not just because he’s a liar, but because his tenure is dangerous for us all.

A Sad Mistake

In Kansas there is an annual gathering called ‘The Gathering’. It is when Rabbis and other Jews, and pastors and other Christians, gather together to sing, pray and dance, in support of Israel. The next ‘gathering’ is on March 7th. It is not possible for Jews and Christians to pray in unity, because the Jews are unsaved and the Christians are (supposed to be) saved.

This is a widespread but sad kind of idea, for many Christians pray for Israel the land, when they ought to be praying for individual Jewish souls, as in need of salvation. It is a common misconception that Jews are somehow half-way toward God because of their heritage.

This is unbiblical, for a heritage is nothing unless it is taken up. The only heritage Jews have is the same one we have – Jesus Christ. But, they reject Him and rely on their old ways and old promises, which have long since been ‘cashed in’ by Christ the Saviour and Messiah.

The Value of Life

In Oregon, USA, 171 people have been given legally approved lethal doses of drugs in the past six years. (K-House news, 22nd Feb).

As a student nurse in the 1970’s I was often handed similar injections to administer, that hastened death. They were not given to kill, but the combination of drugs in the syringe were meant to ease the person’s pain and suffering. But, in doing so, they also depressed breathing and made the sufferer more likely to succumb to the slightest problem. The net effect, then, was to hasten death.

In my present job I have to administer prescribed morphines and other ‘heavy’ drugs, to relieve intense pain from cancers and other terminal conditions. I know that when given over a period, some of them will make breathing very shallow. This is a side-effect; I don’t give the drugs in order to kill.

Yet, increasingly, my colleagues and I have been asked to give a ‘bigger’ dose that will ‘finish off’ a patient, ‘humanely’. We always refuse. Life is life, no matter what state it is in.

Today, machines and drugs are so advanced that illnesses and conditions can be staved-off or even eradicated. But, in many cases there are undesirable side-effects…some of them being death. For the Christian this is not the issue, for God will remove breath when He sees fit.

Where drugs are being administered, these in themselves don’t bring death quicker, for no man or drug can do that. But, we should always beware of listening to the ‘humane’ excuse. If a drug or machine exists that can bring help, then it must be used, even if we think ‘quality of life’ is impaired. This is the penalty of inventions!

We must never say that ‘quality of life’ is an excuse for killing someone. God gives life, and only He can take it away again. That is why suicide is not an option for a Christian. Nor is euthanasia. For the Christian, quality of life is not an issue that can determine the death or life of another human being. Even the worst kind of pain, physical or mental, does not give the right to end life.

The answer is to solely rely on God. When we offer the ‘humane’ answer, we are rejecting God’s answer! The worst pain and worst suffering must be given over to God. Only when we do this, will He give us peace. We might even retain physical pain…but God’s peace is worth the suffering. I know, because I’ve been there!
